Chapter 1138: Downton's Forces
"You guys are crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, when I, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, don't have zĂ i?"
Barak didn't answer Downton, but glared at the shareholders, his face turned blue and his clenched fists bulging. Top Novel, www.
"We thank you for your work for the Chieftains and the Minotaur Tribe, but your business idea is out of date. â
A small shareholder pouted.
"Oh, so you let me abdicate and make way for Xian, do you want me to hand over the shares to you and divide them equally?"
Barak scoffed.
"Calm down!"
The second shareholder should be a peacemaker.
"I'm already very calm, otherwise I would have fought with you a long time ago, who is Downton? is my good brother, the great benefactor who led the Minotaur tribe to revival, and now that it has only been a few good days, you are going to be ungrateful? Touch your chest, is your heart cold? When did the ancestors teach you to be treacherous?"
Barak roared loudly, his wide-eyed eyes bloodshot, he was genuinely angry.
"If it weren't for Downton's free trade zone, you guys would still be boiling milk mixed with water in tattered tents, gnawing on moldy jerky, and eating bread and wine like this every day?
The hall was silent, and most of the guests bowed their heads and looked embarrassed at Barak's angry cheers.
"Aren't we doing it for the sake of the common people of the tribe? Besides, we don't plan to leave Downton alone, just re-sign the contract and share!"
A shareholder appeased.
"Do you go it alone? You don't pee and look in the mirror at what frustration you look like, do you have the ability? and re-sign the contract? If you leave Downton, you can starve to death!"
Barak was.
"Don't forget, humans are cunning, and there are only a few big men like Downton who are easy to talk to? Raising tariffs and lowering the purchase price of specialty products are all because Downton stopped us, so that we can sit back and enjoy the current benefits.
Barak's words were like boiling oil poured into a fire. Immediately caused a discussion.
Most of the people who can come to a luxury hotel like Blood Thunder to participate in the banquet are the elites of the Minotaur clan, and they all manage more or less business, so they are not stupid, they know that the price given by Downton is already very generous.
As long as you are a minotaur, it is very convenient to go to the free trade zone in Frankfurt to trade, not only in terms of taxes and purchase price, but also to do other things.
Although the free trade zone enforces the rule that everyone is equal. But in such a large territory, there are always areas that are not well cared for, but as long as it is a Minotaur, no matter how much he loses or asks the official for help, he can always get ahead of others, which is all thanks to Barak.
It was because Barak knew Downton that the Minotaur merchants received these privileges. This is also the reason why he, a guy from a civilian background, was able to sit as the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, and was not ousted by those traditional big chiefs and elders.
They didn't dare. It is feared that after the Barak is ousted, the preferential conditions of the Minotaur in the free trade zone will disappear.
"Actually, I think the current contract is quite fair!"
If some shareholders shrink their eggs, everyone will settle accounts, and besides, the cunning and greed of the human aristocracy are completely superior to the orcs, why should people give us preferential treatment? We only value the immediate interests and lose them for a long time. Isn't the gain outweighing?
"Barak, don't forget, you're a minotaur, and you should think from the perspective of an orc civilian, right. Downton made you from a commoner to a nobleman, but that shouldn't be the reason for your allegiance to him!"
is worthy of being a member of the royal family who is good at politics ~ governance and fighting ~ fighting, as soon as Kompany opened his mouth, he avoided the important and light, implying that Barak was a beast traitor, making him stand on the opposite side of the whole clan.
This sentence contains too many meanings, and everyone present knows that Barak can have his current status, which was given by Downton, so if he wants to guarantee his current rights, he must be on his side, so that no matter how much he says to think about the orcs, it is a quibble......
"Short-sighted, who is the biggest force on the border at the moment? Those second-rate countries? No, it's Downton, he has a large number of floating warships, as long as he circles the sky, how many countries will tremble? You have also seen, how many free trade zones have been set up on the border in the past year? But there are those who persist? Law and order are chaotic, robbery and theft are rampant, except for Frankfurt, who can give us a stable trade environment?"
Barak's impassioned statement.
"That's Downton's men making trouble!"
The second shareholder knew that this would not work, but as soon as he said a word, he was interrupted.
"Let's not say that you are slandering, even if it is, what is it? Isn't it relying on strength to compete for the free trade zone? The current situation is that the Fox Legion of the Western Frontier has beaten the surrounding countries, and you have signed contracts with other countries, aren't you afraid that he will come over?"
Barak's words silenced the entire hall, even the shareholders, who had forgotten the biggest problem, which was that Downton's military was very powerful.
"Downton has the title of the first general star in the north, you can't win with the same troops and troops, so what about now? His fists are all barbarians, underground dwarves, drow elves, these races that can fight well, the Violent Bear Legion and the Werewolf Legion may have to kneel if they go, just rely on us Minotaur infantry equipped with vine armor?"
Barak had a mocking smile on his face,
"You're too long for the prestige of others!"
The shareholders with strong national dignity were not happy and shouted.
"Majestic, I forgot to tell you, not to mention the regular army of Frankfurt, that is, the motley army composed of the natives of the hills, all wearing armor made of steel, using metal weapons, oh, the equipment of the elite legion is all made by Krupp giants, Krupp, have you heard of it? That is the race that is best at forging and metallurgy in the Western Earth Continent! As for the dwarven craftsmen under the command of Downton, I don't even bother to mention it!"
Barak's words silenced the hall again, and some of the guests even remembered that Downton had also housed a large number of Minotaur artisans, knowing that in the orc kingdom, the weapons they forged were the mainstream. But in Frankfurt, you can only work as assistants to those great craftsmen.
"Downton has only been the hand of the king for five years, and he has defeated several powerful enemies, expanded his territory, and made Frankfurt the best among third-rate countries.
Barak sneered.
"Barak. Don't be alarmist!"
Kompany glanced at Downton, and if he hadn't been staring at him, he would have wanted to slap Barak to death.
"Haha, it's funny, okay, even if what I just said is false, then I may ask, who is Downton?"
Barak glanced at the audience.
The shareholders looked at each other, puzzled.
"Rest assured. I'm not talking about Downton's extraordinary talent for the position of generalissimo at the age of twenty, but I mean that Princess Sissi is chasing him, and if he wants to, he will become Prince of Bavaria at once, and his sister, Her Royal Highness Elaine, is the third princess of Yves Saint Laurent, and sits on the five most prosperous main cities. Her annual income is much more than your hard work!"
Barak looked at the group of short-sighted fellows with contempt.
"Okay. Even if you don't think of the benefits behind these relationships, I can tell you that Downton is a servant of the Drow, he has a huge underground world market, and he is the uncrowned king of the Dragonhills, where millions of natives depend on him for their livelihoods. And the number will inevitably increase in the future!"
This time the crowd was not silent, but began to gasp, looking at Downton in shock, and after Barak said this, they realized. I don't know when the power of the lucky man in the Western Realm in their mouth has swelled to such a terrifying level.
Some of the quick-witted guests even thought of the recent rumors that Downton seemed to be the prince of the Brittan Empire, and if that was true, it would be a good idea to maintain a relationship with him.
"Humph!"
Little Walnut crossed her hands on her hips, straightened her back, and her face was full of pride, many of Barak's words she couldn't understand, but she knew that Downton was the best.
"What are you so proud of? Am I that good?"
Downton smiled and flicked Hu Tao's forehead, and then looked at Elaine, to be honest, his life has been stressful, so he has no time to review and sort out the resources he has.
"Hmm!"
Elaine nodded.
The centrists, not to mention, the second shareholder, are beginning to regret agreeing to Kompany's plan.
Bang!
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Kompany decisively smashed the wine glass in his hand on the ground.
Amid the splash of drinks, dense footsteps rang out, and a group of elite guards who had already been ambushed rushed into the hall.
On the rooftops all around, archers also appeared, aiming at Downton, ready to snipe at any time.
"Haha, I thought these people were security guards, but I didn't expect them to be against me!"
Downton was unmoved, calmly tasting the wine.
"What do you mean, Kompany?"
Barak asked.
"Your Highness......"
Some shareholders who are qualified to speak have also spoken, complaining about Kompany's self-assertions.
"Downton, you should be proud, in order to deal with you, I brought the most elite Royal Guard, ten generals of the Scepter Rank, five generalissimos, of course, I am not a talent, just a legend!"
Kompany casually patted the dust on his robe, and looked at Downton with disdain, with a completely determined expression.
"So what?"
Downton asked rhetorically.
"Haha, how long do I see you can be hard-mouthed?"
Kompany enjoyed the wonderful feeling of this power, even happier than conquering the most beautiful virgins~, looking at the frightened expressions of those great nobles and big businessmen, it was as if they were in the end of the world, and some of the timid even knelt down and kowtowed.
"Your Highness!"
The shareholders only felt bitter at the corners of their mouths, and they knew that this was Kompany, in addition to threatening Downton, but also raw rice to cook ripe rice, so that they had no choice but to follow him all the way to the dark.
At this moment, many people regretted it, especially when they saw Downton still calm and calm in the face of such a strong lineup, and they all admired it beyond their reach, at least this courage was beyond their reach.
"Well, you must have already arranged it, no matter what happens here, no other forces will intervene?"
Downton asked.
"Are you smart?"
Kompany chuckled, "What's the matter, I'm scared, I'm very generous, I can accept your surrender!"
"No, you're mistaken, I mean, so that no one will bother you until I kill you!"
Downton smiled, revealing eight white teeth, but the killing intent contained in the words swept the scene like an extreme northern cold current, and many people immediately shuddered.
This naked ~ naked ~ naked contempt made Kompany's smile freeze, and then roared.
"Kill him!"
Boom! Boom!
Led by the five generalissimos, ten scepters pounced on Downton's party, who had already studied his records, so they all gave up magic and fought hand-to-hand combat.
"Walnut, Juliet, protect Charlotte and Elaine!"
Downton commanded, grabbing Barak's arm and pulling him behind him, and with a flick of his left hand, a green aura exploded.
Nature's praise spread like a tsunami. ă
Even if the enemy besieging Downton had a strong lineup, he didn't despise Downton, but his record was too strong, so as soon as he started, he entered a berserk state on his own, and wanted to take him down in the shortest time, but who knew that the natural praise swept over, and the momentum they had just climbed up fell.
"Damn it!"
At this moment, everyone remembered that Downton was still the natural enemy of the shaman, the priesthood with two miraculous praises.
Downton punches.
A huge vision of a savage appeared from behind him, blasting ahead, not seeking to kill the enemy, but only to delay time.
Boom! Boom!
In the sound of the breaking wind, accompanied by the clear chirping of birds, the firebird emerged from behind Downton, a flapping wing, radiating a flame aura, intercepting the enemy, and shooting out at the same time, straight at Kompany.
"He's our sister's!"
Fiona snorted, holding a long sword, and shot at Kompany, and Edith was expressionless, teleporting behind him, swinging her sword in a rage.
Rumble!
Dozens of attacks landed on Downton, blasting it into a puddle of flesh.
"Be careful, it's a stand-in, he's not dead yet!"
Without waiting for the shareholders to be overjoyed, a marshal shouted, all on guard.
Yes!
A scream came, and everyone turned their heads to see a scepter whose chest had been pierced by a dragon spear, and in the midst of blood, Downton picked up his body and poured it on the ground, shattering it in pieces.
"Up!"
The marshals burst into applause, but the next moment, Downton disappeared in place.
Yes!
Before he could find Downton, another scepter screamed, and the voice stopped dumbly, and Downton left behind him, clutching his heart in his hand.
Syllable!
Downton crushed his heart, and it also made the hearts of the besieging people cold, it was a scepter, put it in a third-rate country, it was the survival of the strong people in the town, but in Downton's hands, he couldn't even hold out for a round. (To be continued......) R527
