Chapter 64: Bloody Conflict
The magic sedan looked familiar, and when he got closer, Cantona recognized it as Baron Rover's.
The last time he saw Baron Rover, he had shown off the magic car to Cantona, claiming that it had been transported from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's magic car factory, which had been moved to the Black Rice Wasteland.
Due to the current restrictions on the import of magical machinery by the Lampari Kingdom Commercial Agency, it took him a lot of effort just to transport the magic car across the border.
The magic sedan drove quickly to the edge of the field, the door opened, and it was Baron Rover who walked down.
Cantona was just about to meet him, but Baron Rover had already fixed his eyes on him, walked over quickly, and asked, "Hey, Cantona, didn't you say that you were going to harvest wheat for my territory today?
Cantona smiled bitterly and pointed to the field: "There is something wrong with the new machine I bought, and I am thinking about what to do." ”
"New machine?" Baron Rover reacted with a roll of his eyes. "Is it the farmland magic machine that I bought from the Soona Chamber of Commerce last time?"
"Hmm. I thought I'd try to use it here now, and then go somewhere else to help with the harvest, but you see, most of these small magic harvesters are broken now, and I can't even help you harvest your territory if I want to. Cantona said helplessly.
Baron Rover pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "I told you a long time ago, this Soona Chamber of Commerce was made by the Kodak family, they don't understand this thing at all, how good can the farmland magic machinery they make is." ”
"I can't help it. The Castle Lord's Mansion stipulated that in Bonta Castle, only the Hayada Shokai's Farmland Magic Machinery could be used. The Department of Commerce and the Department of Agriculture have also issued relevant regulations. We can't do it if we don't comply. Cantona sighed.
Baron Rover's eyes widened: "What should I do then? Your Chamber of Commerce can't help with the harvest this year? Who will harvest so much wheat in my field?"
Cantona spread out her hands. Shook his head with a wry smile: "I also want to help you, but this situation is obviously not good." You wait for two more days, and when the Hayata Chamber of Commerce sends someone to repair these small magic harvesters, I will send someone to help you harvest as soon as possible. ”
"Shit! I can wait, I can't wait for the wheat in my field. If you don't harvest it, you'll be rotting in the ground in a few days!" said Baron Rover angrily.
"That can't be helped, if you don't have the Farmland Magic Machine, it's useless to just send people. ”
"Who said you don't have farmland magic machines. Baron Rover shook his head. "I don't believe you threw away the new flying brand farmland magic machine you bought before. Go. Take them out and come back with me now. If you move quickly, you might be able to finish the harvest today. ”
"I'm afraid it won't work. Cantona was stunned. "The Castle Lord's Mansion has strict rules that prohibit the use of farmland magic machinery other than the Hayada brand. ”
"this rule!" scolded Baron Rover. "Besides, my territory is a private territory, and it is not the land of Bangta City, I can use whatever brand of farmland magic machinery I like to use on this land, and the City Lord's Mansion can't control it at all. ”
"This ......"
Seeing that Cantona was still hesitating, Baron Rover pulled him: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up." Send someone to take out the new Fei brand farmland magic machine you used before, and try to harvest all the wheat in my fields today. ”
"yes. President, the Baron has said, let's do this. ”
"That's right, Lord Baron is right, it's his private domain, and the City Lord's Mansion can't control it. ”
"Well, President, let's make a decision quickly, we should speed up, and we shouldn't delay things. ”
......
Echoed by the workers in unison, and urged by Baron Rover, Cantona pondered for a moment and nodded vigorously.
"Okay, that's it, but Lord Baron, in case the City Lord's Mansion is going to make trouble......"
"I'm in charge of blocking it, I won't find your head, you can rest assured. Baron Rover cut him off. "Don't think about it so much now, get ready, let's go together. The people of the territory are ready, just waiting for you to pass. ”
Seeing that Baron Rover was swearing, Cantona relieved himself and turned to beckon to his workers: "Okay, brothers, go and prepare guys, we're ready to get started!"
The workers cheered in unison and dispersed, pouring towards the warehouse set up by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce in the village of Mexico.
Taking out the new flying brand farmland magic machinery that had been sealed because it was forbidden to use, everyone suddenly felt full of confidence in their hearts.
They have been using these new flying brand farmland magic machines for more than two years, almost three years, and they are extremely familiar.
In such a long period of use, the number of problems with the Xinfei brand farmland magic machinery is only a handful, and they are naturally extra relieved to use it, where will they be as worried as when they use these Hayada brand farmland magic machines, for fear that they will break down when.
When everyone was ready, Baron Rover got into the magic car, and when he opened the road, a group of people got onto the road and headed for Baron Rover's territory.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at Baron Rover's territory, and everyone didn't need to explain anything, they each started their own farmland magic machinery, drove into the farmland that was already full of golden ears of wheat, and began to harvest quickly.
This is the kind of situation that happens every spring and autumn, and both Baron Rover and Cantona, as well as the workers of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, are all too familiar with it.
Because of the re-use of the familiar and easy-to-use new Fei brand farmland magic machine, the efficiency of the workers instantly returned to the previous level, and it only took more than an hour to harvest most of the wheat on the less than ten hectares of farmland on the Barony of Rover.
Seeing that at this rate, the harvest should be completed before the sun sets, Baron Rover was in a good mood.
Although in recent years, due to the popularization of magic machinery in the fields and the widespread use of chemical fertilizers, the grain production in the Lampari Kingdom has increased greatly, which has greatly reduced the pressure on food, but for these nobles, the first task must be completed. It is the grain handed over in the spring and autumn every year.
Once you can't even complete this task. will be rebuked by the noble council. The strictest may even be reduced to a noble title, a reduction in privileges or a private domain.
So even though Baron Rover now has enough money to buy enough grain to pay taxes, he still attaches great importance to the farmland in his domain.
In any case, it is always much more convenient to be able to solve this most important problem by farming yourself.
Cantona was also in a good mood.
Being able to see his subordinates skillfully harvesting with the new flying brand farmland magic machinery proves that the Cantona Chamber of Commerce is still the former Cantona Chamber of Commerce, and there is nothing wrong with it.
The only thing to worry about is probably the hellish rules of the City Lord's Mansion.
But what Cantona didn't expect was this. His fears soon became a reality.
When the sun was approaching the horizon and the wheat in the fields of Barony Rover was almost finished, a medium-sized magic bus and two medium-sized freight magic locomotives drove up from the road connecting Barony Rover's field and stopped at the edge of the field.
As soon as the car stopped, several men wearing the emblem of the City Lord's Mansion jumped down from the medium-sized magic bus, and dozens of heavily armed city guard soldiers jumped down from the back compartment of the two medium-sized freight magic locomotives.
The men, who looked like staff from the City Lord's Mansion, walked towards Baron Rover and Cantona, while dozens of City Guard soldiers walked straight to the fields and ordered the Cantona Chamber of Commerce workers who were operating the Farmland Magic Machinery to harvest.
Seeing this, Baron Rover was furious. He shouted at the staff of the City Lord's Mansion, "What do you want to do, this is my private territory, how dare you mess around?"
One of the City Lord's Mansion staff members in the lead had a stern expression. "Baron Rover, we have received a notification that someone is using farmland magic machinery other than the designated brand to harvest on your territory. This is against the rules of the City Lord's Mansion, so we have come out of here to stop this behavior. ”
"Fart!" Baron Rover furious. "This is my private territory! I can do whatever I want, the rules of the City Lord's Mansion are my business, why do you care?"
The staff member's expression remained unchanged, but he reached into his arms, took out an official document and handed it to Baron Rover.
"This is the latest regulation of the royal council of nobles, in order for spring ploughing to be carried out smoothly, all the nobles in the kingdom are required to actively cooperate with the local city lord's mansion and implement it in accordance with the regulations of the local city lord's mansion. Baron Rover, please cooperate with us. ”
Baron Rover snatched the official document and looked at it, and found that this official document was actually a resolution of the noble council, and he was immediately a little surprised.
Hasn't the Council of Nobles always preached that nobles should have all kinds of privileges? Why did they suddenly change their minds this time?
Ignoring Baron Rover, who was puzzled, the staff member glanced at Cantona and waved his hand.
"Hands-on. ”
The City Guard soldiers who had already rushed into the farmland immediately took action, drove all the workers of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce away, and reached out to control the farmland magic machinery.
Looking at that, they were actually preparing to snatch all these new flying brand farmland magic machines!
Shocked and angry, Cantona shouted at the staff member, "What are you doing, why are you taking our stuff?"
"Your things?" the staff member sneered: "Your Cantona Chamber of Commerce has blatantly violated the rules of the City Lord's Mansion by using other brands of farmland magic machinery other than those specified, in addition to confiscating these other brands of farmland magic machinery, your Cantona Chamber of Commerce will also be investigated by the City Lord's Mansion." I warn you, if you don't cooperate well, I have the right to arrest you now!"
Cantona was furious in his heart, but after all, he was only a commoner, and he did not dare to confront the people sent by the City Lord's Mansion, so he could only turn his attention to Baron Rover for help.
Provoked by the expression on Cantona's face, and angered by the staff's attitude of no one in his eyes, Baron Rover couldn't care so much, and shouted: "Stop it! This is my private territory, and everything you want to do here must be approved by me! I don't agree with you doing this now, stop me!"
The City Guard soldiers stopped, but looked at the staff member in unison.
The staff member glanced at Baron Rover and smiled: "Lord Baron, please do it yourself." ”
Baron Rover's neck stiffened: "What kind of thing are you, dare to talk to me like this?
The staff member shook his head, ignoring Baron Rover, and waved to the City Guard soldiers again.
Seeing this, the city guard soldiers moved again, and at this time, several workers from the Cantona Chamber of Commerce finally couldn't help but rush forward.
They have been using these new flying brand farmland magic machines for several years, and they have long had feelings, and now they are suddenly snatched away, how can they stand it.
What's more, now that Baron Rover has made it clear that he supports them, if he doesn't take the opportunity to snatch them back, how can he get them back when the soldiers of the City Guard really snatch these new flying brand farmland magic machines.
The two sides immediately began to argue.
Although those city guard soldiers were ordered to come, they didn't dare to really make any heavy moves, and the two sides became entangled for a while.
"I warn you, let them stop, or don't blame me for being rude!" Baron Rover snapped to the staff member, pointing to the soldiers of the City Guard and the workers of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce who were entangled in the fields.
The staff member sneered: "Baron Rover, do you want to openly confront the City Lord's Mansion and the Noble Council?"
"I care so much about you! I only know that this is my private territory, and I will only say it here! If you don't ...... it quickly."
A terrible scream suddenly rang out, interrupting Baron Rover's words.
Everyone looked in the direction where the screams came from, and saw a Cantona Chamber of Commerce worker in the field lying on his back on the tipping bucket of a small magic harvester.
A spike is inserted right through the back of the worker's neck, and the front neck is inserted.
Blood stained the entire farmland in an instant. (To be continued......)
