Alex was secretly frightened as he led Donner to sit down on the couch. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he did make an appointment with the dwarf sage, since Duke Vane knew this, it means that he had already met Cynthia, but these days, he had heard that the knight army had blocked the dwarves under the city of Beiluo.

Could it be that the dwarves have already broken through the knightly defenses?

He pondered this in his heart, but his face was not shocked, and he beckoned the attendant to arrange the refreshments, and then asked unhurriedly: "Is the Duke from the north?"

"Yes, the north is restless for a day, and I don't dare to get out easily. Downer sighed.

"So......" Alex smirked, "the dwarves have broken through?"

"More than 30,000 dwarves have come to Birdtail City, and they have finally made some efforts. Donner said.

Alex felt that he hadn't seen him for a few years, and the Duke of Vane in front of him suddenly became much louder.

"That'...... We will be able to see where the situation is going in a few days, right?" he asked tentatively.

Donner smiled, picked up the tea arranged by the attendant, took a sip, and said: "Coincidentally, on April 18th, the divine punishment descended on Falling Rock City, destroying more than 100,000 knight troops at once, and blocking the enemy's rear road. With such divine help, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the north was high for a while, and they destroyed the enemy army and destroyed more than 100,000 enemies...... So far, there are only a few thousand knight armies left in the three northern provinces. ”

Donner spoke lightly, but Alex listened in horror. He wouldn't believe in the nonsense that a divine punishment happened to come to Falling Rock City, let alone believe that with just a moment of morale, the soldiers and civilians in the north of Feimeng could easily annihilate an army of more than 100,000 knights.

More than 100,000 ...... What is the concept of more than 100,000 knights? You must know that when more than 4,000 knights landed in Kaios, they dismembered and shattered the Angler Empire, the largest empire in Middle-earth, which had stood for thousands of years, and the chaos even affected many neighboring countries, and even the people of Emerald Harbor were terrified.

However, in the face of this miracle-winning Duke of Vene, Alex felt that he did not feel like he was lying.

"Mr. Alex, I am not satisfied with you to say that I have come this time to discuss a business with you. Donner continued, as if he hadn't seen Alex's expression change.

"What business?"

Alex vaguely felt that the young duke probably wanted the Medici family to also play a part in this war. If the battle situation is really as stable as the other party said, the family should indeed make a clear side at this time.

Donner put down the teacup and thought for a while before saying: "I have been in business for more than ten years, and it has only increased the population of the three northern provinces by more than 100,000, and the war has wiped out all my efforts at once...... As far as I know, wars are raging in various parts of Middle-earth, and I think there will be no shortage of people who are willing to leave their increasingly chaotic homeland and find a pure land to settle down, right?"

"You mean ......" Alex was a little unable to keep up with Donner's train of thought.

"I hope that after the war is over, your chamber of commerce will help me recruit new immigrants. Donner said.

Alex looked at Donner in surprise, not for the sake of his request, but for the subtext implicit in his request.

After the war...... This Duke of Venn was actually discussing with him about the affairs after the end of the war, could it be that in his opinion, this war was really no longer in suspense?

"Lord Duke...... Are you really that confident?" Alex finally asked.

"Confidence? Oh no, you're mistaken. Downer laughed, "I'm not talking to you about assumptions, I'm based on facts." It is a fact that more than 100,000 people have been killed or wounded among the inhabitants of the Northland, and it is also a fact that the general trend of the invading enemy army has gone. If you're interested, you might even be able to visit the last battle of the war. More than 30,000 knights will be wiped out under the Gonta Grasslands or the city of Coennas, or on the way from the Gonta Grasslands to Coennas...... Exactly where we will be annihilated is the only variable in this battle. ”

Alex had always felt that the young Duke of Vane had a steadiness that did not match his age, and before today, he had never heard a big word from the other person's mouth, but now he was saying the most arrogant words that Alex could imagine.

Tens of thousands of knights, in the small country of Femont, the only variable that can be won is the place of annihilation! What kind of nonsense is this!

Alex wanted to laugh, he wanted to laugh, and then splashed all the water in the teacup in front of him in the other person's face to keep him sober. But he couldn't laugh at all.

Only a madman would tell a serious nonsense, and Duke Vane was clearly not a madman. A madman can't build those intricate machines, and a madman can't just make a few casual words about the operation of a factory to convince Alex.

"Let's not waste time on these details. Downer shrugged, "When it comes to newcomers, we only accept young people, don't ...... At the very least, it is necessary to keep the proportion of young people at a fairly high level. If you want to be able to speak Western language, of course, you can't be literate...... There will definitely be costs for recruiting and transporting immigrants, you can estimate a number for me, and you can talk about it later if there are variables......"

When Alex heard this, he suddenly realized that his mind was empty, and he couldn't fit anything for a while, he looked up at his attendant and said, "Go get a pen and write it down." ”

Taking advantage of the time when the attendant went to prepare the pen and paper, Donner smiled apologetically and said, "I know this may be a bit rushed, but there are too many things, and it is not easy to see you once, and besides, I really hope that you will start preparing for the relevant matters immediately...... Migration is complicated and the sea routes are far away, and I really don't want to see the fertile fields in the north abandoned or overgrown with weeds. ”

Alex nodded, but even he didn't know what the nod meant. Do you mean that you understand the other person's plight? Or do you say that you agree and start doing it immediately? Or do you just say that you heard it?

"Cynthia Vida said, you want to co-create a freight group, and I have agreed. By the end of the year, a large shipyard will be built in Port Dorne to produce large magic ships, and if you can help recruit some experienced shipbuilders, we might be able to see them leave the port within five years. Donner continued.

"Well, Emerald Harbor has the people you need, just don't speak Western. Alex said.

"For special talents, we can appropriately relax the conditions. Donner laughed.

"And what if there are nobles willing to bring their wealth with them to Huls?" asked Alex.

"Well, maybe we should set a threshold for investment immigration...... Donalmo nodded with the stubble on his chin.
