Chapter 254: The War of Glass
Chapter 254: The War of Glass
Shi Fatzi went to the royal capital to mourn, but Lorist did not go, and asked Shi Fatzi to come forward to receive the messenger to the royal capital to worship.
What are you kidding, go to the royal capital at this time, not to mention seeing the second highness, the two of them are separated from each other, the most annoying thing for Lorist is that the other party draws a big pie, and what he says is good is to ask you to provide this and that, and it is the righteousness of the family and the country at every turn.
What if he went to the royal capital of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce to attack him? Lorist felt that he still had to stay on the island of Hilois and wait for the enemy's attack, and this time he had to leave a profound lesson for the Chikde Chamber of Commerce.
Preparations for war are proceeding in an orderly manner, and those who should be evacuated have been evacuated. Pat sneaked up on himself and asked him to write a letter of introduction to Miss Tresti. It turned out that this guy had already soaked the beautiful Martha of the White Bird Restaurant, and this time it was easy to get their mother and daughter to agree to go to the Northland and open a restaurant in the newly built harbor city, anyway, the business on the island is not very good and they can't make a lot of money.
However, Aunt Nataya, the mother of the beautiful Martha, hopes that the next-door neighbor, Professor Hugo's family, will also go with her to take care of her, and Pat learns that Professor Hugo is a professor of literature and history at the Royal Knight Academy in the imperial capital, and he returned to his hometown with his family to escape the war. Pat remembered that Miss Tresti was building Nicol's College, and ran to ask Lorist to write a letter introducing Professor Hugo to teach.
Lorist asked while writing a letter, only to know that this Professor Hugo knew himself, that is, the red-nosed chubby old man who had drunk a little too much when he first went to the White Bird Restaurant, no wonder this old man was not afraid of his lord, and shouted that the lords were all perverts or something, he must have seen a lot in the imperial capital, and he knew very well what kind of goods those sanctimonious nobles actually were.
The residents of Shiratori Town did not evacuate much, firstly, they were accustomed to the life on the island and were reluctant to leave, and secondly, as Lorist expected, they did not care who the lord was, and the Norton family had not cared about the island of Hilovas for five years, so that the residents here had no centripetal force towards their lords, and they still lived their lives as usual anyway, with or without lords.
Even after the arrival of Lorist and others, the residents of the island complained a lot, thinking that although the leader developed this and that construction project, although there were many more opportunities to make money, it also added a lot of trouble to the residents and affected their peaceful life.
However, the evacuation of the beautiful Martha's family from the White Bird Restaurant drove many residents from all over the world to the Northland, counting dozens of families and nearly 100 people, all of whom were relatively wealthy families, who were worried that they would be robbed in the upcoming war, so they simply went to the Northland.
The clerks who went to mobilize them to evacuate promised not to worry about the housing work, and that the housing area that had already been built in the emerging harbor city could be replaced by one to one and even have a spare allowance, and as for the work, there was no need to worry, because the family territories in the north were in the ascendant, and all kinds of talents were needed. As long as you have a skill, you are not afraid of not having a good job.
During the conversation with Pat, Lorist learned that the lame garrison captain Victor in White Bird Town was also the suitor of the beautiful Martha, but compared with the young and handsome, tall and fit, (note: the above is Pat's boasting, it does not mean that Lorist agrees with his opinion) and Pat, who has full legs, the choice of the beautiful Martha is self-evident.
This is also the main reason why the garrison of Shiratori Town encourages the residents to resist the construction of a fortress castle between the third battalion of the guards and the town of Shiratori, one is the captain of the garrison, and the other is the commander of the third battalion of the guards. It's just that Pat's face is smug, full of the superiority of the victor.
Lorist was not so angry that he was angry, and the two bastards were jealous of the family's development plan, and he really thought that the residents of White Bird Town were collectively resisting, but it turned out that these two guys were making the ghost. Let's not talk about the lame Victor first, he is not a member of the family in the first place, and when the family gains a firm foothold in the future, there is a chance to slowly clean up.
Pat, as a knight of the family, you are still so unimportant, of course, Lorist does not want him to give up the beauty, but to let himself know the truth about the resistance of the residents of White Bird Town to the construction of the fortress castle, so that he will not arrange the third battalion of the guards to be abandoned in the village of Farama. Relying on the lame Victor's five hundred untrained garrisons to guard White Bird Town always feels a little suspenseful.
The days passed, but why hadn't the enemy come yet?Lorist only felt that his days were like years, and he was looking forward to the Chikde Chamber of Commerce coming to attack the island of Shilowas.
During this period, Farrea organized two fleets and asked Sambarwood to return to the Northland with an armed fleet, one to send the evacuees over, and the other to transport food and grass back. Sambarwood spent five days in Northland, and when he returned, he was more respectful to Lorlist.
"I didn't expect the strength of the adult family to be so strong...... Sambawood finally understood why Lorist had the confidence to start a war with the Chicke Chamber of Commerce, and he was also eye-opening when he went to the Northland this time. However, he wondered in his heart why he was also an earl, the Earl of Sherach who he wanted to seek refuge with was like a beggar compared to this Earl of Norton, whether it was a territory or a family arm, there was no comparison at all. To be exact, the Norton family is already more powerful than a principality on the surface.
Now Sambarwood is working hard to become a knight of the Norton family, which is more aggrieved, and a golden swordsman like him wants to become a knight of other nobles. But it's not so simple in the Norton family, everything depends on merit, and it's okay to work hard without merit, otherwise it is impossible to be recruited as a family knight.
It's just that after visiting the Norton family's territory in the Northland, Sambarwood became ruthless, and other families would not go even if they came to invite him. The eight golden knights' manor castles in Xing'an Yuan alone made him red-eyed, with complete facilities, complete housekeepers and servants, and an annual output of between five hundred and eight hundred gold fords.
You must know that Sambarwood used to be a pirate, and he worked hard to get more than 100 Kimford's private money a year. He has not yet become a Golden Knight, and he has ten Golden Fords just for a month's salary and position allowance, which is enough for his wife and children to live a luxurious and happy life in the Northland.
You must become the Golden Knight of the Norton family, and earn such a manor castle for your wife and children. That's what Sambarwood has just made to make.
On January 22, Shi Fatzi had returned from the royal capital, but the attack of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce was still nowhere to be seen. Even Shi Fatzi is speculating whether the Chikde Chamber of Commerce will wait until the winter to launch an attack in April and May?
Speaking of the experience and experience of this trip to the royal capital to mourn, Shi Fatzi also gasped: "His Royal Highness is really ruthless, he cut off the head of the second prince Iberia and placed it on a large silver plate in front of the coffin of the third prince as a sacrifice. The poor second prince never dreamed that he would die at the hands of his own nephew, and the eyes of the human head were not closed, showing horror, and he really couldn't see it......"
Shi Fatzi also said that His Royal Highness made an impassioned speech in the large square in front of the palace, declaring that the war to revive the former Krisson Empire was about to begin, and that no one could stop the people's desire to restore the rule of a strong empire, and that any obstacle that stood in the way of this unification battle would be crushed by the powerful army he led......
His Royal Highness's speech aroused the cheers and shouts of nearly 10,000 people gathered in the main square, and the sound of the royal capital was vibrating. Shi Fatzi said that whether it was a resident or a soldier in the royal capital, there was a feeling that he had finally come to an end and was finally relieved. Relieved by the death of the third prince. Now that the 300,000 troops under the command of His Second Highness are already making final preparations for war, Shi Fatzi estimates that the war with the Kingdom of Ridley will break out after the winter wheat is harvested in April.
Lorist continued to wait on the island for the attack of the Chicke Chamber of Commerce, until February 11, when two large ocean-going merchant ships of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce came to the island of Hilowas, and a vice president of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce and a group of people from the ship dismounted, as well as Dores and nearly forty talents brought by him from the city of Morent.
The news that Dorus brought to Lorist is, don't be stupid to wait here, the business alliance is now in a pot of porridge with the kingdom of Trimber, and they are all bloody, and they don't care about our Norton family's Hiloas Island territory at all.
After the explanation of the vice president of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce and Dorus, Lorist realized that it was a random chess set up when he left the city of Moldent, and those two letters played an unexpected role, catalyzing the conflict between the kingdom of Trimber and the business alliance, and the skirmishes on the border eventually led to a war.
Lorist was overjoyed, although he threw out those two letters with the idea of adding chaos to the business alliance, he thought that at most, it would be a little contradiction between the Kingdom of Trimber and the business alliance, and the so-called sincere and unbreakable battle friendship between the two was not expected to directly trigger the war between the two, which was really an unexpected surprise.
Speaking of which, these two letters were able to play such a significant role thanks to the strong cooperation of the only tendon in his head, Trimber VII. After the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce attack, because of the consequences of the destruction of one-third of the inner city of Moriente, countless high-level people and their families of various chambers of commerce who were implicated and killed, this is not only referring to the seven major chambers of commerce, but those second- and third-rate chambers of commerce who live in the inner city are also implicated.
The people of the entire city of Morent are turbulent, and the seven giants can't hold back the public opinion at all, especially those second- and third-rate chambers of commerce have been fueling the fire, and the members of the coalition parliament have made speeches in the street squares, thinking that the kingdom of Trimber must be punished, and the murderers whose hands are stained with the blood of innocents must not go unpunished, and some people even shouted the slogan of hitting Fayes City and capturing Trimber VII alive.
However, the Seven Giants of the Business Alliance are still relatively sober, and even the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce, which has suffered heavy losses, has forcibly suppressed its desire for revenge. They also sent an envoy to the royal capital of the Trimber Kingdom, Fayes City, to meet with Trimber VII, and proposed that the two fugitive third-level swordsmen and second-level greatswords be handed over to the business alliance as murderers in order to give an account to the inhabitants of Moriente City, and that the Triplean Kingdom must apologize and compensate for the consequences of this attack, and by the way, re-discuss the future treatment of the glass concession and exemption of the Trimber Kingdom......
The Seven of the Business Alliance already felt that they were very restrained, but they didn't expect Trimber VII to play a scoundrel, resolutely rejecting the proposal of the Business Alliance, and emphasizing that it was not his responsibility and his order to attack the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce.
Trimber VII was talking nonsense in front of the envoys of the Business Alliance, he believed that the great swordsmen and the Golden Knights who attacked the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce were a group of righteous people living in seclusion in the Kingdom of Trimber, they were brave and brave, and they were not used to the business alliance's betrayal of the Trimber Kingdom, and before the glass formula and production process related to the life and death of the Trimber Kingdom were spread, the righteousness was awe-inspiring, regardless of their life and death, and risked their lives to attack the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce and finally destroy the two letters.
Therefore, this incident should be a spontaneous heroic act of the righteous people of the people, and it has nothing to do with the kingdom of Trimber and the royal family. It is simply inexplicable that the envoy of the business alliance demanded responsibility for this matter.
The envoy of the Business Alliance was almost so angry that he vomited blood at Trimber VII's reply, and even though the evidence was conclusive, he still played a scoundrel and refused to admit it, this is a major national matter related to the future relationship between the Kingdom of Trimber and the Business Alliance, has it been handled like this? It is simply unheard of.
The envoy grim and conceited a conceited word and turned to leave, Trimbert VII made up for it, and he triumphantly declared that out of the feat of sacrificing his life to the kingdom of those attackers, Trimber VII would declare these attackers the glorious title of heroes of the kingdom of Trimber, and would hold a grand memorial ceremony for the heroes of the royal capital of Fayes to commemorate these heroes who shed their blood for the kingdom and were willing to sacrifice themselves to defend the interests of the kingdom......
The envoy of the Business Alliance was finally so angry that he vomited blood on the spot......
After receiving the news of the envoy's insult and the official reply from Trimbert VII to the attack on the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce, the Seven of the Business Alliance felt a slap in the face, and they made a decision. At the auction held on December 15, the Mayflower Society auctioned two letters for 23 million goldfords in the form of selfies and self-purchases, and obtained the recipes and production processes of green glass and oil glass.
In fact, Dean Levens of Dawn Academy, who commissioned the auction of these two letters, did not get such a high auction price at all, and they reached an agreement a day earlier, and the remaining seven colleges of the eight colleges each received 1.5 million gold fords, and the Dawn Academy received 2 million gold fords. However, after the auction, Dean Levens will come forward to announce that the 20 million goldford proceeds from the auction will be donated to the business alliance for the restoration of the inner city, and the remaining 3 million will be used to set up the Mancheni Scholarship to support the study of poor students. This is all superficial article, and everyone is secretly making a fortune. However, it has earned Dawn College a wide reputation.
After obtaining the formula and production process of the two glasses, the business alliance immediately announced that it would produce and sell its own glass in the future, refused to allow the transit of the special glass of the Trimber Kingdom, and suspended the preferential and tax-free treatment of the glass of the Trimber Kingdom.
As soon as the news reached the Trimber Kingdom, Trimber VII jumped to his feet, what, so many great swordsmen and golden knights died, and the two letters that were destroyed were fake? The business alliance is really cunning, no wonder the nobles always suffer when dealing with merchants, and they all blame the merchants for having too many eyes and even using fake letters to perfunctory us, so that we are fooled and suffer heavy losses......
Trimber VII, who automatically put himself in the position of a victim, was furious, and now it was impossible to organize a team of great swordsmen and golden knights to attack the Chamber of Commerce Alliance to recapture the two letters, so Trimber VII ordered the 50,000 troops stationed on the border between the two countries to approach the border of the Commercial Alliance, preparing to use strong force to force the Commercial Alliance to hand over the two letters and promise not to produce two kinds of glass......
It's just that Trimber VII forgot one thing, the two or three hundred thousand horses of the former powerful Krisson Empire could not make the Fude Business Alliance bow its head, and no one took the 50,000 troops of the Trimber Kingdom in his eyes. Usually, when the city defense army of the commercial alliance patrols and the scouts of the Trimber Kingdom, they all shout and curse, but even if both sides refrain from using knives and guns, there are more and more conflicts in bare-handed fights.
Finally, the villages on the border between the two countries were destroyed, and a group of soldiers from the Kingdom of Trimber entered a village to rest, and at the same time showed the little daughter-in-law and eldest daughter in the village what it means to be strong as a Trimber man.
Who knew that it happened to bump into a mercenary team passing through the city of Moldant here, the mercenaries did not have as many rules as the city defense army, if the city defense army would disarm these soldiers of the Trimber Kingdom and send them to the other party's military camp to protest and wait for the punishment of these soldiers who violated the military order,
When the mercenaries found that the village was ruined despite the fact that there were no dead people, they used their knives and guns on the spot, and several wounded soldiers who fled back to the kingdom of Trimber shouted that they had been attacked by an ambush, attracting several teams of reinforcements, and when they saw the corpses of their comrades, they were also furious, and began to hunt down the mercenaries. The battle here attracted the city defense forces of the commercial alliance, and the scale of the battle began to grow.
Trimbert VII, who had a strong brain, was overjoyed when he learned that there had been a battle on the border and many people had died, and thought that he could use this as an excuse to expand the scale of the war and teach the merchants of the merchant alliance what the rules were, so he ordered the 50,000 troops on the border to attack the city of Morente, preparing to come to the city and then force the merchant alliance to sign the alliance under the city......
The war went smoothly at the beginning, and the business alliance did not expect the Trimber Kingdom to dare to really attack, and unsuspectingly let the 50,000 troops of the Trimber Kingdom occupy the two cities in front of the Falcan Hill Plain. This is like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the business alliance declares war on the Trimber Kingdom on the spot, to carry out a self-defense counterattack, and to let Trimber VII taste the consequences of his war.
As soon as the business alliance made the kingdom of Trimber understand what it means to bite a dog that doesn't bark. Just before Dorus brought people on the merchant ships of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce, the self-defense forces of the Commercial Alliance not only recaptured the two occupied cities, but also pursued the remnants of the enemy and swept through the seven counties of the Kingdom of Trimber, occupying almost half of its territory.
The kingdom of Trimber was about the size of the four provinces of the former Cresson Empire, but it was divided into fifteen counties, not provinces.
"Now Trimber VII is crying and crying for help from all over the country, and carrying out a general mobilization of the kingdom, declaring that he will resist to the death against ingratitude, betray the battle friendship forged by iron and blood, and risk the world to invade the kingdom's merchant alliance army..."
Dorus said with a grin.
