Thorin smiled at the Earl's arms trade demands, as the leader of the party and the supreme leader of Ortuno, he always thought about making profits for the country, which was related to whether he could sit firmly in this position and the evaluation of future generations.

At present, many important railways, metallurgical plants and a series of important facilities in Ortunno are almost in the hands of Nolan merchants, and Thorin has never found a chance to recapture them. In addition to the lack of excuses, the most important thing is the lack of funds. After the end of the civil war in Ortunno, it was in ruins, and when it was time to invest, it was necessary to use the money to redeem the lifeblood of these countries. Of course, on the other hand, these merchants helped to build these facilities, after all, for Thorin, he could not build a 50-kilometer railway in a short time.

And now the opportunity has come. Wayne is now too busy with the civil war to take care of it. Cologne's big order has brought him a lot of money, and he's going to kick these obnoxious businessmen out. Although these businessmen did not make any mistakes, and even had some credit. But politics only pursues interests, feelings, right and wrong, and everything must be rolled aside.

This is also the reason why the arms that Coren bought were more than five times more expensive than the cost, not only because they were on the disadvantaged side, but more importantly, Thorin was in dire need of funds.

"I hope you're satisfied, after all, the quality of our weapons is definitely much better than your own home. If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate to shut down my arsenal, and Ortunno's weapons would be enough. ”

Coren smirked, and from time to time patted the wagon carrying weapons. There was a crisp metallic echo.

"That being said, but Lord Cologne, if these munitions have an accident on the battlefield, I hope you'd better give me an explanation."

Duke Langton paused word by word. He was very unhappy with Ortuno's attempt to raise the price of weapons, but he did not have a good seizure. After all, they had no other source of weapons besides Ortuno, and even if Ortuno doubled the price, he would be helpless. can only stimulate the arrogant Koren from other aspects.

"Fake one pays ten!"

Coren confidently said that the weapons sold to the nobles were all mature equipment, and his own army had used them many times. He is still very confident in this. But maturity also thinks that it is backward, relative to Nolan.

"I hope that when the time comes, Your Excellency Cologne will keep his promise."

Duke Langton didn't have a good air.

Coren replied with a smile.

"As long as the Duke of Langton doesn't use his own arsenal to make up the numbers, I will naturally speak and count."

Langton's face flushed, and his hands arched.

"Farewell!"

When Langton walked away, the official beside Colon said worriedly.

"Lord Thorin, will we be killed by Count Nils if we do this~"

Coren waved his hand.

"Now the aristocratic army is enough for him to have a headache, and he can't reach his hand."

On the contrary, Wayne's intelligence agencies had long been aware of Ortunno's purchase of weapons for the noble army. Coren was half right, Wayne didn't have any extra troops to deal with Ortuno now, and he couldn't force Ortuno with a large army like he did last time.

Of course, he didn't plan to do that. War is always the most efficient solution.

"What Evans thinks, Ortuno is starting to feel that his wings are stiff."

Evans smiled dumbly and shook his head. It felt like watching a bunch of kids play.

"What else can I do, him!"

Far from becoming depressed and conservative about his long career in government, Evans gained a lot of experience through a lot of work, which made him more aware of Nolan's current state. It can be said that no one knows the whole northwest and east better than he does.

Wayne smiled knowingly.

"Then Evans will leave this matter to you. Let them know that if they can't get on the table, they can't get on the table. ”

Soon there was a strange phenomenon in the Ortuno market, where you could get a lot of discounts when trading Ortuno Black Iron coins. In the past, they were mixed with Rune's copper, silver, and gold coins. The purchasing power is all the same. For example, one black iron coin is equivalent to two silver coins, and there are few fluctuations. But with the discount, one Black Iron Coin is equivalent to 2.3 Silver Coins, and it keeps rising. It undoubtedly increased the value of black iron coins while devaluing the value of gold, silver and copper coins. There was a situation where people began to treasure black iron coins, but the number of black iron coins on the market became smaller and smaller. This situation is not obvious now, and it will take a certain amount of time to ferment.

Cangjiang has been killed at this time, and it is difficult to separate.

Heavy rain has been going on for eight days. The 1st Army also held out for eight days, and there were two days of fighting.

And just now they withstood another wave of enemy charges. The line of defense was already full of corpses, and the soldiers of the army group began to clean up. Carrying out the corpses of his comrades, as for the corpses of the enemy, there was no need to give sympathy, and directly advanced into the Cangjiang River.

The fortresses of the front line have long been uprooted by the enemy, and the first and most powerful barrier has disappeared. After that, each time the noble army logged in, there was a reliable buffer zone.

Bessen had tried to get the Grand Magician to rebuild the fortress, but it was soon destroyed by the nobles' military artillery. Their logistics have already brought up the artillery. This undoubtedly adds a lot of difficulty to the defense.

"What about the casualties of the 76th regiment?"

Bessen asked, the main attack of the aristocratic army just now was at the position of the 76th Regiment, and there was a dead end for many artillery fires.

"More than half of the attrition was made, the battalion commander of the first battalion was killed, and the regiment commander was slightly injured. Of these, only 5 people remained in the 563 company, and the establishment has been abolished. ”

The adjutant swallowed his saliva with difficulty, since he joined the army until now, he had never seen such a large casualty in the First Army.

Beisen looked at the sand table of the defensive line, the position of the 76th regiment was a trough on the defensive line, and at the same time, there were mountain peaks on both sides to shelter, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of defense.

"Allocate three hundred mines to the 76th regiment, and Relton knows how to arrange them."

The adjutant reminded.

"Commander, we only have 700 mines left, and if the enemy doesn't attack the position of the 76th Regiment next time, these 300 mines will be considered scrapped."

What the adjutant said is also what Beson is most worried about at the moment, logistics! Continuous heavy rains have flooded many transport lines. A large amount of supplies were piled up on the road, and there was no way to transport them to the front line where they were most needed, and all the soldiers were crazy about it.

But the enemy doesn't care if your logistics are there or not, defeating you is their primary concern.

"Can the 83rd Brigade take the position of the 76th Regiment?"

But then this answer was denied by himself, and the position of the 83 Brigade was even more important. Located on the lifeblood of the line of defense.

"83 should not be able to draw up extra troops, and their losses are not small."

"Then allocate mines, we can't bet that if the enemy attacks the 76th regiment next time, the entire defense line will collapse."
