According to the conservative estimate of the commercial officer Andy, the carts of pearl gems brought by Fasqi were at least worth around 500,000 gold coins. If you don't sell in a hurry, you may not be able to get millions of gold coins in the end by waiting for the price and selling, so it can be said that the financial crisis of Storm Castle can be solved at one time!

Of course, although Fasqi said it very easily, in fact, this batch of pearls and gems was also slowly collected by the Wave Tribe in the Sea of Death for so many years. It can be said that this time it was handed over to Duke, and it could be regarded as taking out the entire Wave Tribe's family resources.

However, Fasqi believes that as long as Stormcastle exists, the Tide Tribe will be able to grow. Now the sea tribe of the Wave tribe has been firmly tied to the Storm Castle, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, once the Storm Castle collapses, although the sea of death may be large, there is no place for the Wave Tribe!

"By the way, Lord Lord, how is the training of the fish-man soldiers, I have received a report from my fish-people that after more than a month of repair, the Shark Tribe has relieved its breath and may attack again, at least to test the strength of Storm Castle. ”

When he heard Fasqi's words, Duke's excited smile instantly dissipated, and he finally lived a peaceful life, but he didn't expect that the fishmen of the Shark Tribe would start doing things again. In addition, it will be the day of the traditional ice demon to do things in a few months, and now it seems that there are really many enemies in Storm Castle who want to do things.

"You don't have to worry about the training of the fish-man warriors, the training results of the five thousand fish-man warriors are very good now, and there will be a qualitative improvement compared to before. As long as this batch of pearl gems is sold, and then the manpower on the town hall side is won, the production of weapons in the hydroelectric factory can be fully started, and then the storm navy will be fully equipped with the storm armor, and the wild shark tribe will not be a threat in the future. ”

Duke's tone was full of confidence when he said this, after experiencing the battle with the Shark Tribe, Duke also had a considerable understanding of their strength, the Storm Navy of five thousand armed to the teeth, plus the support of the Storm Marines, and the defense of the Storm Harbor Fortress, it was basically impossible for the Shark Tribe's to conquer.

It can even be said that as long as Stormcastle breathes a sigh of relief, and does not wait for the Shark Tribe to attack, Duke will come to the door. There can only be one one in the Sea of Death, and that's Duke of Stormcastle!

Hearing Duke say that the Storm Navy was going well, Fasqi was also relieved at this time, what she was most worried about was that the Wild Shark Tribe would take advantage of the current time when the Wave Tribe was the weakest to attack, as long as the Storm Navy was formed, then in the Sea of Death, the Wave Tribe would not have any threat in the future.

With Faski's departure, Duke immediately called Andy, the commercial officer, and handed him all the boxes of pearls and gems, asking him to find a way to use the channel of the Storm Comptoir to cash out this thing as soon as possible, and then exchange it for other materials to Storm Castle for winter reserves.

Andy's sudden sight of so many pearls and gems almost had the same expression as Duke's, first shock and then ecstasy. After all, he, as a business official, was also aggrieved during this time, and almost all of his liquidity had been withdrawn by Duke, and it was a little difficult to come in for basic business turnover.

Now that I have seen so many jewels, it means that the financial crisis of Stormcastle will be lifted in the future, and life will be much better.

"Lord, don't worry, I will use the fastest speed to turn these belongings into gold coins to alleviate the current financial crisis in Storm Castle!"

With Andy pulling a few cartloads of pearls and gems away, the financial crisis, one of the two major crises of Storm Castle, has a way to go. However, another major crisis in Storm Castle is still in the process of tense relief, and this crisis is naturally a human resources crisis.

The southern border of the Duchy of Berry, the narrow strip between Maple Leaf City and the Earldom of Fleck, has been crowded with a large number of refugees. They all fled from the northern border of the Duchy of Berry, and since the battle between the Milan Empire and the French Empire last winter, the orc wastelands and barbarian steppes in the north, and even the neighboring Hans Empire, are eyeing the French Empire, and want to withdraw fire and loot to cut off a piece of meat from the French Empire.

However, due to the intervention of the Holy See, in the end, this operation of all parties to divide the French Empire was unsuccessful, and even the Hans Empire was forced to work with the French Empire to resist the army of orcs and barbarians on the border. It's just that this kind of forced interference, these three forces are not up to it, and the Hans Empire is also at odds with each other, always trying to get some benefits from the French Empire.

Based on this pattern, the northern border of the empire has always been heavily defended, and it is under the shadow of war. The long-term shadow of this war has also caused some people along the border to dare not continue to live anymore, and have fled south to safety.

In addition, they themselves are from the Principality of Berry, so it is not easy for them to flee to other territories, so they can only gather in the southern part of the Principality of Berry. On the coastal side of this area is the Maple Leaf City of Trafigura, and on the inland side is the domain of Count Fleck, and it is also the third largest power group in the Duchy of Berry after Lion City and Silvermoon City.

Some of the refugees earlier were basically absorbed by Maple Leaf City and the Earl of Fleck's territory. However, as the war confrontation continues to prolong, resulting in more and more war refugees, and the absorption capacity of the two territories is also limited, after all, not everyone is like Duke, who can make a fortune with copycat technology and iron tools, maintain such a large number of troops, and make the lives of his subjects continue to improve.

Because of the increase in refugees, the problems of public security, disease and other problems brought by refugees have also begun to become prominent, and in the end, Maple Leaf City and Fleck's territory are unwilling to accept these refugees anymore, so they can only camp on the territory outside the city, waiting for the war in the north to end.

I have to say that Duke Otto is still a very responsible lord, even if the war in the north is tense, he has always maintained the basic supply of these refugees, otherwise it may not be the refugees camped, but the corpses are all over the field.

But on this day, there was an extraordinary scene in the refugee camp, they saw a large convoy coming, and at the front of the convoy, there was a lion flag with a silver whirlwind.

All the refugees are very familiar with the Lion Banner, and it can be said that they have lived under the leadership of the Lion Banner for generations. But the silver lion flag, they have never seen it before, and this is the territory of the Duchy of Berry, and it is impossible for someone to fake the lion flag, so what is the origin of this group is simply a mystery.
