After hearing Mar Saha's words, both Meng Fan and Tiberius set their eyes on the black-robed man. "Lord Claude, the 'Furnace Tribe' among the three major tribes of the Dwarven Race has the best blacksmiths and craftsmen on the Qinglan Continent.www.biquge.info Marsahar said with a smile.

The dwarves in the Fallen Pine Hills are divided into three tribes, the fierce and warlike "Angry Hammer Tribe", the "Black Mountain Tribe" who are good at mining and building, and the "Furnace Tribe" who are skilled in forging iron tools and crafting various tools.

The dwarven craftsmen in the "Crucible Tribe" can pick any one of them, and they can compete with the best master craftsmen in the human kingdom.

"Dwarf Clan..." Meng Fan clapped his hands happily, yes, he had forgotten that the best craftsmen in the Qinglan Continent were in the Luosong Hills.

"Lord Marsaha, will the dwarves make music boxes for us?" Tiberius said, "Of course, Lord Tiberius. Marzahar laughed, "If we give the dwarves what they need, what if they make another deal with us." ”

"But we've signed a contract with the dwarves for grain for iron ore, and now there's no extra grain in the territory..." "No, Lord Tiberius, we don't need to use grain as a bargaining chip for this transaction. Marzahar shook his head, "What the dwarves like best, Lord Tiberius should know." Marsaha's blood-red eyes stared at the brown-haired man in front of him.

"Wine..." Tiberius whispered, "yes, the dwarves in the Fallen Pine Hills are fond of drinking, and they are especially fond of wine in the human kingdom, but they can't grow grapes in the cold Fallen Pine Hills, so they can't make wine, and I believe that just having a good barrel of wine should be able to make a beautiful music box for us by the dwarven craftsmen." Marzahar spoke.

After listening to Mar Saha's words, "Tiberius, how many barrels of wine can be produced per year at the production speed of the wineries in the three territories of Black Rock City, Cold Water City, and Giant Wood City?" Meng Fan asked.

"All the wineries in the three territories together produce about 2,000 barrels of wine per year. Tiberius thought for a moment and replied, "Mar Saha, can the dwarven craftsmen make two thousand music boxes a year?" Meng Fan turned his head to look at the dark mage Mar Sahar.

"No problem, Lord Claude, there are nearly half a million dwarves in the Crucible Tribe, and there must be more than two thousand craftsmen who can make music boxes. Marzaha nodded.

"Alright, Mar Saha, you are responsible for communicating with the dwarves, and make sure that the dwarves agree to this deal. Meng Fan stood up from his chair, "Yes, Lord Claude." "Marzahar bowed and bowed.

"Tiberius, from now on, you will buy a large amount of wine from all the wineries in the three territories of Blackstone City, Coldwater City, and Giant Wood City. Meng Fan instructed Tiberius on the side again.

"When everything is settled, I will draw out the exact design of the music box, Mar Saha, and you will hand over the design of the music box to the dwarves. Meng Fan glanced at the sketch of the music box he had just drawn on the table and said.

The royal capital of Gilgias, Cangyun City, the council chamber of the royal palace.

At this moment, a royal meeting is taking place in the council chamber.

There were sixteen people at the long table in the council chamber, and at the top sat Randry Pars, the king of Gilgias, and on the left side of the table sat Landry's uncle, Duke Duraika, the king's most trusted general, General Kulrum, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Asta, and eight other army generals.

On the right side of the table sat seven royal ministers, including Prime Minister Halson and Chancellor of the Exchequer Britz.

"Your Majesty, three years ago, the Kingdom of Brettan captured the Thundering Fortress on the west side of Fanxin Lake, and the King of Brettan, Brun Sias, sent the general Shaloman to lead 50,000 troops to garrison the Thundering Fortress, and these 50,000 troops have stayed in the Thundering Fortress without any abnormal behavior..." A royal army general reported to His Majesty the King, this general is named Ross, and Ross is in charge of intelligence gathering in the army.

Three years ago, the Kingdom of Brettan launched an attack on the Kingdom of Gilgias, and although the Kingdom of Gilgias won the war, the Kingdom of Gilgias lost hundreds of miles of land, and most importantly, the Kingdom of Gilgias lost the Thundering Fortress located on the west side of Lake Fanxin.

The Thundering Fortress is built on the steep Thundering Mountain on the west side of Fanxin Lake, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and together with the Red Flame Fortress located on the east side of Fanxin Lake, it forms a strong defense line against the Bretan Kingdom.

After losing the Thundering Fortress, Bretan's army was able to march unhindered into the territory of the Kingdom of Gilgias.

"Your Majesty, the spies planted in the Kingdom of Brettan have brought back the latest information, and the Kingdom of Bretan is now stockpiling a large amount of grain and grass and purchasing weapons and equipment..."

After listening to Rose's report, the royal ministers and generals in the council chamber whispered and discussed, judging from the situation in the Kingdom of Bretan, it was obvious that King Brunn Sias was preparing for war.

"Vonse," Landry Pars, King of Gilgias, who was sitting at the top, began, "Where is Vonsis now?" Landry looked up at Rose, the royal general who was reporting on the military situation.

"Back to Your Majesty, three years ago, on the Red Flame Plain, the Bretan army was crushed by a flood and lost 200,000 horses, the commander of the Bretan army, Vonsis Varuan, returned to the Kingdom of Brettan with the remnants of the army through the Thundering Fortress, and after the withdrawal of the army, the King of Brettan, Brunn Sias, immediately removed the post of Marshal Vonsis,

Not only did Brun no longer hold the position of commander-in-chief of the army, but he also completely expelled him from the royal army, leaving him without any command of the army, and now his former commander of the Bretin army, Voncis Varuan, remained in his hometown of Chisu. Ross replied.

"Brun completely deprived Vonsis of military power?" Duke Dulaika, who was sitting on the king's left, was a little skeptical, "Lord Duke, the information should not be wrong, the spies we sent to the Bretan Kingdom saw Vonsis in the city of Chisu, and the former commander of the Bretan army, Vonsis, was indeed removed from his post by the king and returned to his hometown. Rose said, looking at Duke Duraika.

"The old guy of Bren should be afraid that Vonsis will surpass himself in the Bretan Kingdom, Vonsis's grandfather and father have served as army commanders, and Vonsis's performance on the battlefield is even better than his grandfather, father, Vonsis is known as the 'undefeated god of war', and is respected by the soldiers of the army and loved by the people,

In contrast, Brunn Sias, the king of Brettan, was mediocre, jealous and suspicious, addicted to women, and only knew how to drink and have fun in the palace every day, and the notoriety of the old man was known even to children a few years old in the kingdom of Brettan..." said General Carmenor, who sat below the Duke of Duraika and had served as the defense officer of the Thundering Fortress.
