Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Clouds of War

The opportunity in front of him, it is possible to become a rich man, or it is possible to lose his life after failure, Jennis's face is red and white, and it can be seen that he is engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

"Gold coins are not a problem at all, as long as there are no rumors, I will not lose your honorarium, I can buy a large number of slaves needed for mining, even the construction of my territory, and I can also cooperate with your Chamber of Commerce!" Xia Zuo reminded casually, adding another fire to the tangled Janis.

"My lord, my lord!" the merchant who couldn't stand the ** finally spoke, pouring bitter water, "The empire's strict control over iron ore and smelting, you also know, the purchase of any relevant materials needs to be filed in detail with the local lord, if this law is violated to bypass the necessary registration, once it is discovered, the result will be revoked from the chamber of commerce's license, or the whole family may be unprotected!"

Although the powerful power of the aristocracy has made the empire have to regress and acquiesce in their greedy claws into various industries of the empire, the industries closely related to the military industry, the Rodman Empire has no room for strict control in its own hands.

Not only the Rodman Empire, but any human empire will definitely control the military-related industries firmly in their own hands.

"What's so difficult about that!" Xia Zuo smiled slightly, "I just discovered the mine by chance, and all I know is my own people, as long as no one talks too much, no outsiders will know, and" Xia Zuo took a sip of wine and threw out a big bone, "Once the construction is completed, the products produced by the blast furnace in my territory need a trustworthy chamber of commerce to act as an agent for the sale of the Rodman Empire!"

Xia Zuo's words don't need to go on, Jennis's breath can't help but become heavy, the military industry has always been one of the most terrifying industries, if the previous cooperation with Xia Zuo only made him a rich man, then once he can be involved in the military industry, he will likely step into the richest group of the empire.

Janis didn't speak, nervously calculating the gains and losses, and finally the merchant's persistent pursuit of gold coins defeated the fear of death after failure, so he gritted his teeth ruthlessly and said, "Yes, but I want to divide the profits by forty!"

Jennis's greed made Xia Zuo laugh and shake the glass against "Give you thirty percent at most!"

"Nine out of three"

"Three out of one"

After some fierce bargaining, the two finally sold for 30 out of 5, and the excited Janis took out the crystal cup and a red wine that he had kept for a long time, which was said to be 200 years old, but he didn't know what his expression would be if he knew that he was trading with the cruel orcs of the Camppass Empire.

However, the terrible profits brought by the military industry, I am afraid that even if this profit-seeking businessman knows Xia Zuo's identity, he will cooperate with Xia Zuo without hesitation.

It's a pity that Jennis's ignorance of Xia Zuo's identity made him ignore the loopholes in Xia Zuo's words, as the lord of the Campas Empire, Xia Zuo never thought of selling the steel he smelted to the Human Empire.

However, if the greedy mustachioed merchant in front of him was really willing to cooperate, Xia Zuo didn't mind giving him a little profit, after all, his barren land was now in great need of the Chamber of Commerce's presence to bring popularity.

The guests and hosts were happy, and they left, and Jennis, who was reluctant, even sent Xia Zuo to the door of the room before reluctantly leaving, with a red face after drinking, patting his chest and assuring Xia Zuo that he would soon be able to get everything that Lord Xia Zuo needed.

It wasn't until he closed the door that Xia Zuo finally couldn't help it, and laughed loudly, according to the plan in place, I don't know how long it will take to successfully buy what I want, and now with Jennis, who has been here all the year round, things will obviously be much simpler.

Xia Zuo, who was laughing, had already begun to flicker with golden light in front of him, which was the light reflected by the upcoming big handful of gold coins.

"My lord," Mira, with a strange face, pushed open the door a little anxiously, "I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but the old slave woke up just now, and he said some news, I think you need to listen to it!"

Mila was flushed with a white face after drinking, Xia Zuo raised his head, and the old slave stood up and followed in confusion.

As Mira came to her room, the pale-faced Buman anxiously paced around the living room, his trembling body didn't turn around much even when he saw Xia Zuolai, and his dazed eyes even flashed with a hint of despair.

"What the hell is going on?" Xia Zuo wondered what kind of news could scare Buman like this.

"It's war!" the old slave walked out holding on to the wall, his gray messy hair was still stained with water, and after cleaning it, although his body was also thin and thin, his eyes seemed to see through the world, obviously declaring the old man's extraordinary identity.

"Honorable lord" Facing Xia Zuo's puzzled gaze, the old man owed slightly, the standard etiquette was enough to make Xia Zuo ashamed, but instead of giving people respect, the title in his mouth had a faint mockery, "Because of the kindness of this beautiful girl, I will not die of whipping, so I decided to tell you the news, the clouds of war are about to cover the sky of Sarnia, you leave quickly, and take this as my reward for kindness!"

Xia Zuo couldn't help but be slightly stunned, this was really an important news, "War? and whom?"

"Great Lord," trembled Buman, "Sarnia is ready to send troops to conquer Kampas after the cold winter has passed. ”

"Is he crazy?" Xia Zuo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously called out in disbelief, although he was driven to the Campas Plateau by humans, as the ancestral land of the orcs, the Campas people have been operating here for many years, and they have been confronting the neighboring human empire for many years, and they can't intrude in the slightest.

After all these years of recuperation, the vitality of the Camppass Empire has recovered a little, and if Sarnia dares to conquer Campas with the power of a city, it will be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and it may even cause a war between humans and the Kampas again.

And as the lord of the Gravel Wasteland, once Sarnia conquers Campas, Xia Zuo's territory will bear the brunt, although Sarnia is only one city, but it is far from his current strength to be able to resist, fortunately, the cold of the Gravel Wasteland has blocked the other party's footsteps, and now that he already knows, there is still room for maneuver in this matter.

"He's crazy!" the old slave sighed deeply, his face full of disappointment and sadness.

"You're no ordinary slave, who are you?, how dare Sarnia attack Kampas? "It is impossible for an ordinary slave to know such confidential information, and the composure of the other party and the standard etiquette that can be written into the textbook show that the old man is extraordinary.

The old man was silent for a long time, and finally slowly spoke, "As an imperial nobleman, you should know the family to which Sarnia belongs!"

"Sarnia belongs to the Savani family, one of the three major families of the Rodman Empire, the patriarch of the Savani family is the current Imperial Duke and Minister of Finance Haldek Savani, and Sarnia is the territory of the eldest son of the Savani family, Sidwar Savani, the eldest son of the Savani family!" Knowing that his lord was very unfamiliar with this place, he hurriedly opened his mouth to relieve the siege.

Glancing at Xia Zuo suspiciously, the old slave nodded, and then continued, "Duke Hardeck has two sons and a daughter, and his daughter Xia has married the real power of the Monte family in the army, and the two sons are the eldest son Sidwar and the second son Gudelf. ”

Although what the old man said had nothing to do with his identity and why there was this attack, Xia Zuo listened carefully, for fear of missing half of a sentence.

"The eldest son Sidwar is the heir of the duke, with a violent personality and capriciousness, so he is not loved by the duke, on the contrary, the second son Gudelf is gentle by nature, with a good appearance, and has a wide range of friends in the upper class of the empire, there are many nobles who are better with him, and the current duchess is only the mother of Gudelf and Xia, so he often instigates the duke to abolish the elder and younger, so Sidval must always consolidate his position, and he needs enough merit to get the support of the imperial nobles to maintain his inheritance. ”

"And so the plan to attack Campas was born?" Chazzo was a little stunned, if he had made a doomed invasion plan so easily, then the Count of Sidwar would not be far from losing his inheritance.

"Of course!" the old slave glanced at Xia Zuo faintly, "The whole plan was instigated by those stupid damned Titan apostles, and with the bullshit opportunity given by the Titans, the honorable Count Sidwar decided on this stupid plan!"

"Cult of Titans?" This is not the first time Xia Zuo has heard this name, as he had rescued the precursor of the current Saiyan tribe under the hands of orcs instigated by the messengers of the Cult of Titans shortly after he first came to this world.

Xia Zuo looked at this name at a loss, and immediately made the old slave look suspicious, "In the past few years, with the secret support of the empire, the Titan Cult has developed rapidly, as an imperial nobleman, it is impossible for you not to know! You are not a nobleman of the Rodman Empire! Who are you?"

"You haven't said what the opportunity was given by Natitan?" Shazo did not answer the old slave's question, but was interested in the opportunity, which was obviously one of the reasons for Count Sidwar's decision.

"Nothing!" the old slave pouted disdainfully, "It's just that the Munk tribe in the Gravel Wasteland attacked a border post for food, and those stupid Campas didn't even clean up the battlefield and let a border guard return to Sarnia with the caravan, giving you a reason for Sidwar to attack the Campas Empire." ”

"Ahh

"Damn!" Xia Zuo, whose face was ugly, gritted his teeth secretly, he specially ordered that day, but now it seems that "I didn't clean it up, damn Bigu, look at how I clean you up when I go back!"
