Chapter 173 The forces of all parties competed, and their wishes were fulfilled like ashes
Justin's steady development of the economy and the improvement of the strength of the territory were feared by the four major forces of the Demon Clan, the Demon Cloud Empire, the Celestial Dragon Empire, and the Sea Clan Empire.
After all, the Thorn Realm is no longer a remote country of the past, but a densely populated, economically developed, and powerful kingdom that encompasses several large cities.
Sandwiched between the two alliances, the Thorn Realm is no longer in its former glory, and almost all trade has been cut off, except for the trade between the Thorn Realm and the Elven Empire, the Goblin Kingdom, and the Mountain Giant Clan.
This move by the four major forces accurately hit the key points of the development of the Thorn Leader, making the development of the Thorn Leader difficult.
Fortunately, the market in the territory has matured, and the consumption power generated by the huge population base is hardly weaker than that of an empire. This also gives the thorn collar the space and capital for in-depth development.
Justin looked at the business data in his hand and was puzzled.
At this time, Vivien met with Justin and offered advice: "The lord can completely let the smuggling syndicates that benefit the countries. In this way, although the shipment volume is not as good as in the past, it can minimize the blockade of the thorn collar market by various countries, so as to create another way. ”
Justin's eyes lit up when he heard this.
This strategy can alleviate the strength of the sanctions against the thorn collar to the greatest extent, so that the thorn collar can walk out of a nine-twisted way in the embattled.
Under Vivien's arrangement, smugglers from various countries began to buy the goods of the Thorn Collar on a large scale and ship them to the country for sale.
In order to encourage these smugglers to do their best to expand the number of goods sold, they adopt activities such as rebates and promotions based on the sales volume.
This move by the Thorn Collar has dealt a heavy blow to the original business partners of various countries.
Because most of these business partners are the upper echelons of various countries, they are sensitive to the direction of imperial policy.
In the first half year of the blockade of the export of goods from the Thorn Collar by the four major forces, they hoarded a large amount of goods.
After the lockdown policy was introduced, they took the opportunity to sell at a high price and make a high profit.
This makes many users of Thorn Collar products dissatisfied. However, they knew that it was not the Thorn Collar to blame, but the hoarding merchants.
However, after the goods of the Thorn Collar were transported into various countries through these local smuggling forces, the goods that were lower than the original price of 20% or even 30% quickly occupied the market.
Now, it's the turn of those high-level forces of the empire to complain.
Nima, those ordinary people are very hateful because these forces take the opportunity to trap the people.
Seeing less than four or five percent of these forces in the market is not a crazy robbery.
The consequence of this is that the goods of these forces are unsalable and are in their hands.
They strongly demanded that smuggling forces in various places be cracked down, but unfortunately, the thunder was loud and the rain was small.
Because most of these smuggling forces are the vests of city lords or lords, they can be attacked, but it is worth speculating whether they can be hit.
As the saying goes, beating gongs and drums to extinguish smuggling, ventilating and reporting is safe. In the end, I caught some second-hand dealers, which was a good thing.
This forced the top forces of these empires to persuade the emperor to lift the blockade policy and implement a normal trade policy.
It's a pity that Justin has seen through the essence of these nobles, and for the sake of interests, the six relatives don't recognize it.
Think about it, how much benefit the Thorn Collar has brought to these forces by cooperating with the forces of these empires, but when these countries introduced restrictive policies, these forces only knew that they were hoarding more goods in order to monopolize, but they didn't know what it meant to tell the Thorn Collar, the benefits could make them feel excited, but they didn't let them look at the Thorn Collar squarely.
The Thorn Leader's counterattack strategy this time has seriously dealt a blow to the prestige of these imperial forces, and Justin is not willing to give up these smuggling forces, but further reduces the cost of selling them, further squeezing the living space of these imperial forces.
is the so-called remembering to beat and not remembering, that is, these people. Justin won't get used to them.
Through this strategy of relying on smuggling forces to maintain the business development environment of the Thorn Collar, the factory stores of the Thorn Collar gradually increased the number of operations, maintained the survival and development of the corresponding factories, and the most important thing was to let these workers have work and money.
As the saying goes, the small river has water and the big river is full, which refers to the development mode of the thorn collar.
Economic warfare is really just one part of all kinds of wars. Although the four major forces have not directly attacked the Thorn Territory's sphere of influence, various minor frictions have continued to occur.
Fortunately, thanks to the support of the ogres, the strength of the patrols of the Thorn Territory has been greatly increased, so that these countries that covet the Thorn Territory have not gained much benefit.
Justin has been hesitating, I don't know why, he doesn't have too deep hatred for the demons, but has an inexplicable closeness.
The Celestial Dragon Empire and the Sea Alliance did not fail to send people to contact the Thorn Realm, wanting to reach a three-way cooperation, but Justin refused.
Whether it is a demon or a sea race, if it is not my race, its heart will be different.
Especially when these alien races are strong, all cooperation is just a stopgap measure for them. All they want to do is get rid of all the aliens.
Justin's hesitation made both alliances a little flustered, after all, the economic strength of the Thorn Territory was obvious.
Antinas' visit made Justin finally decide on his choice.
As the murderer who had persecuted and chased him back then, Justin looked at him very calmly. Because he was already of the same rank as Antinas, he was not afraid of Antinas.
A secret conversation changed part of Justin's view of the demons. Although he still doesn't like the demon clan, this detailed discussion will prevent him from being so disgusted with the demon clan again.
After the meeting, Justin became an alliance with the Draco Empire and the Sea Clan.
Thorn Collar's goods are once again selling well in these countries, even though the rival Demon Cloud Empire and the Demon Clan both import Thorn Collar's goods in large quantities.
Tripartite forces: The cooperation of the Celestial Dragon Empire, the Sea Clan Empire, and the Thorn Realm made the tripartite forces overwhelmed when attacking the Demon Cloud Empire and the Demon Clan.
Through the battle, Justin quickly occupied one-sixth of the empire's territory, which directly expanded the Thorn Lord's sphere of influence by one-third again.
Two hundred meters away from the Demon Cloud Emperor's capital, Justin was on the right, and the armies of the Heavenly Dragon Empire and the Sea Clan Empire were on the left and in the center.
The five major forces fought fiercely, and Justin was the slowest to send troops, and his forces did not directly aim at the Demon Clan and the Demon Cloud Empire, but intercepted the back path of the Sea Clan and the Celestial Dragon Empire.
Faced with this situation, the Celestial Dragon Empire and the Sea Clan split up some of their forces to break Justin's blockade.
Unexpectedly, Justin's army suddenly added dwarves and alpine tribes.
The strength of the dwarves should not be underestimated, and the Gaoshan tribe is a weapon of war. All the cavalry were like dough in front of the Gaoshan tribe.
In this war, the Thorn Lord, the Demon Clan, and the Demon Cloud Empire won a big victory, with Justin's troops preserved the most.
After the defeat of the Celestial Dragon Empire, Justin actively prevented the Legion from attacking the area controlled by the Celestial Dragon Empire.
The Sea Clan retreated into the sea after losing the war. No one wants to send troops to conquest them, after all, it's stupid to spend too much effort on these animals!
During the attack on the Celestial Dragon Empire, the Demon Cloud Empire and the Thorn Realm had a huge disagreement, and the elven rebellion against Ashifrina began to plot secretly.
For the sake of the stability of the territory, Justin has always cut off all kinds of coveted forces with a sword, and will never fight with them.
The Thorn Collar implements the method of pastry co-construction in terms of expansion.
Every time he occupies the territory of the Celestial Dragon Empire or the territory of the kingdom, he will inevitably send an engineering team to build and innovate, so that the Thorn Realm can maintain the safety of the territory with points and areas.
After ten years of war, the forces of the Thorn Lords have opened up the southern half of the Vast Continent, and there is no obstacle to transporting goods to the Fish-People or the Desolate Realm.
After the defeat of the Sea Clan, calm returned to the sea. Justin continued to send caravans to trade by sea.
In the face of the coercion of the demon forces, the Holy Spirit Empire finally resisted.
When the Holy Spirit Empire planned to unite the Heavenly Dragon Empire against the Demon Race and the Demon Cloud Empire, the Heavenly Dragon Empire was no longer able to send troops to help the Holy Spirit Empire.
Faced with the battle between the Demon Race and the Holy Spirit Empire, the Thorn Leader pursues geopolitical leanings, and he transcends the war and gains time to recuperate.
Ten years later, Justin has advanced to the imperial powerhouse and has been able to tie with Dolbiby.
In the context of Justin's expended a lot of resources, Princess Qiqi advanced to the realm of a magister. And the other women have also made great progress.
Justin thought of Antinas's words and quietly put on makeup and came to the Holy Spirit Empire.
He found that in the Holy Spirit Empire, fairness was not as they advertised, and they did not have much tolerance.
Faith has become an ethereal thing, and for these bishops, no preaching is more moving than profit.
After traveling through the Holy Spirit Empire, Justin discovers that the Holy Spirit Empire is not full of gold, as the legend says, but withered and dilapidated.
He returned to the Thorn Realm and was determined to fight to the death with the Holy Spirit Empire.
Soon, the trumpet of war sounded.
With the forces of the Demon Cloud Empire and the Demon Clan, Justin began the war to capture the Celestial Dragon Empire.
The Demon Race and the Demon Cloud Empire are committed to conquering the Heavenly Spirit Empire.
In ten years, the Thorn Lords had surpassed the lords in area, and although there was no fanning from the Empire, Justin was not afraid.
In the end, with the help of the demons, Justin defeated the Heavenly Dragon Empire and the Holy Spirit Empire, and finally unified the Cangmang Continent.
Justin was hesitant about the Holy Spirit Empire.
When the Thorn Lord, the Demon Cloud Empire, and the Demon Race jointly occupied the Holy Spirit Empire, they discovered that the strength of the Holy Spirit Empire was far from what it seemed, and his roots were on the other side of the continent.
Soon, the demons withdrew from the war arena of the Cangman Continent, and instead ceded all their interests to the Thorn Lord.
In the face of the submission of the Great Prince, Justin did not care for himself. For other forces, as long as they surrender, Justin will not blame the past, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the Demon Cloud Emperor.
Fifty years later, Justin advanced to the rank of Great Sword King.
After another hundred and fifty years, Justin advanced to the Juggernaut, and his magical creation ability was also able to make breakthroughs, and finally, Justin advanced to the realm of the Grand Magus.
Justin no longer interferes in anything on the mainland, but lets go to teach the power to his children and grandchildren.
Two hundred years later, with his mutated spiritual power and divine thoughts, Justin advanced to the Sword God and the Law God.
As Justin's face grew old and eventually decayed, he had forgotten his past feelings.
On a sunny morning, Justin broke through the mainland's barrier and entered the other side of the continent.
He hid his strength, incarnated as a pauper, and lived in a city.
In this city, he forgot all the past events, and just quietly experienced the various characteristics of the Western Continent.
The Western Continent has been completely controlled by the Holy Spirit Sect, and people's thoughts and actions are bound by the teachings of the Holy Spirit Sect.
After Justin read through the teachings of the Holy Spirit, he fully realized the hypocrisy and horror of the Holy Spirit Teaching.
On the day he was assured, he challenged the Holy Spirit Cult and engaged in a desperate struggle with the Holy Spirit God, and in the end, Justin won a crushing victory.
Regarding the chaos in the Western Continent, Justin did not interfere too much.
He cleared the church of the high-end forces and force, and Justin didn't care about the rest. Even if the world is once again taken over by the Church of the Holy Spirit.
After returning to the Vast Continent, Justin didn't see anyone, he just lived alone in a valley and didn't tell anyone.
Occasionally, he drinks with Dubibie. All the red faces know that only the existence of Qing Jiu Ling remains.
Qing Suling gave birth to a baby after a spring breeze, and was finally adopted by Qing Jiuling.
After Qing Suling gave birth to a child, they faced the changes of the entire continent, and they no longer refused to insist on independence, but truly merged into the Thorn Realm.
Justin thought of his initial stun by Dubiby's tone, his performance in the pool of blood, and his acquaintance with Qing Jiuling and others, everything was just like yesterday, and his emotions finally failed to resist his attachment to the past, gave up the pursuit of the true god, scattered his cultivation, and became an old and decrepit ordinary person, and finally he died in loneliness.
All prosperity and decay are just the steps of life. For Justin, unifying the Continent, abolishing lordship and slavery everywhere, encouraging business and business, all of this is just his most simple wish.
When he realizes all this, he only thinks about his former red face, the emotion of life and death.
Maybe he missed a lot, but in the end he was just a lonely old man, quietly passing away in a pinch of loess. (To be continued.) )
