Chapter 238: Funding
"The Kingdom of Viggs?" Ye Junwen also repeated, of course, this is mainly because Ye Junwen has never heard the name of this kingdom at all. Beverly probably saw that Ye Junwen didn't know the situation in this kingdom, so she also explained it to the other party a little.
The Kingdom of Victrex is a kingdom located to the north of the Empire of St. Willan, and is not bordered by the Empire of Saint-Willan, with another country in between, called Rangia.
The relationship between the Saint-Willan Empire and the Kingdom of Victrex was not bad before, because their relationship with the Kingdom of Rangia was not very good. Rangia, this is a country founded by the Jackals, the situation of the country is relatively primitive, and then these Jackals are particularly warlike, and they will organize troops to attack the surrounding countries when they have nothing to do, and the Saint-Willan Empire and the Victrex Kingdom are deeply disturbed, and of course they are united.
Originally, according to the national strength of the Holy Willan Empire, it was naturally no problem to deal with this small gnoll kingdom, but it was really impossible to make up his mind. Yes, although these gnolls are not strong, but to solve them, they have to recruit a large army, and as soon as the army comes out, it will burn money, and there is nothing to make by solving the gnolls, it is a pure loss. Keeping them, at most, civilians are harassed, and it doesn't seem to be a problem to die hundreds of people every year, so the strategy adopted by the empire is to let the Viggs Kingdom deal with them, and the two families are feuding, so the Viggs Kingdom has no other choice but to fight against Rangiya.
The Kingdom of Viggs belongs to the kind of relatively poor small country, and then because of the continuous war, it is estimated that it will not be able to hold on for a long time if it does not have the help of the Saint-Willan Empire. AND OF COURSE, THE SAINT WILLAN EMPIRE FUNDED THEM SO THAT THEY COULD HELP DEAL WITH THE GNOLLS IN RANGIYA, SO HEARING THIS, YE JUNWEN PROBABLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE APPEARANCE OF THESE PEOPLE, AFTER ALL, THE ZHENG MANSION HERE HAS BEEN CHANGED, SO OF COURSE IT IS TO ASK IF THE NEW ZHENG MANSION IS GIVING MONEY.
Money, of course Ye Junwen won't give it, they themselves are all poor and want to die, okay, and there is money to give to others? However, things between countries are not so simple, if you don't fund the Victrex Kingdom, the other party is likely to be wiped out by Rangiya, once the strength of Rangiya's side becomes stronger, the Saint Willand Empire, which has enmity with them, will of course be threatened, Beverly understands this very well, so she also told Ye Junwen about the situation.
"I don't care, I just don't have any money." Ye Junwen said.
"But in that case, if they are really wiped out by the Gnolls, the northern borders of our empire will ......," Beverly said worriedly.
"That's their own business, too." Ye Junwen said, "If the gnolls come to us for trouble, we can just destroy it, now we even dare to declare it casually, are we afraid that a gnolll will not succeed." ”
"That's ...... said" Beverly is still a little worried, it's not a question of whether it can be beaten or not, the main thing is that it is difficult to do, if it was so easy to fight, the previous empire would have sent troops a long time ago.
No matter what, Ye Junwen and Beverly still met with the people of the Victrex Kingdom, and what surprised Ye Junwen a little was the appearance of the two envoys of the Victrex Kingdom, the other party was not a human, but two guys with thick blue body hair, who looked a bit like blue orangutans in general. Although this is an alien world, it is not a strange thing for such a species to appear, but Ye Junwen is still very surprised when he sees it for the first time after all.
"What? Your country is not going to continue to fund us? When he heard Ye Junwen explain that he didn't plan to continue to give money, sure enough, the other party immediately changed his face, first talked about the power in the middle, and when Ye Junwen refused again, the other party was also angry.
"IN THAT CASE, OUR VICTREX KINGDOM DOES NOT INTEND TO RECOGNIZE YOUR NEW ZHENG MANSION, YOU ARE SO SHORT-SIGHTED, EVEN IF OUR COUNTRY PERISHES IN THE FUTURE, YOU WILL NOT HAVE A GOOD TIME." The other party said directly.
"It's really just money." Ye Junwen said, "I said before what kind of allies, in my opinion, your allies only have money, what is the use of such allies." ”
"Since your country insists on doing so, we have nothing more to say." The messenger of the other party also said, "Take your leave." ”
The envoys of the Kingdom of Viggs left in such a rage, although they were very poor and weak, but their temper was quite big, of course, they were just in the nest, they couldn't do it in the face of the people who would talk to them, and when the gnolls called, they were the first to cry and shout for help.
"It's a real headache." After the envoy left, Ye Junwen also touched his head and said, "Why is it that our country is not an enemy or this kind of poor man who only reaches out and asks for money, are there any particularly rich guys in our neighborhood?" ”
"Particularly rich? The elves are probably the most powerful nation. "If they were rich, they would still be rich." ”
"Are you going to beat them anyway? But the problem now is that the initial military expenditure cannot be scrapped. Ye Junwen said, "Now it's good to have a big brother who can send us money......
"Report to Your Majesty, Marshal, someone has asked to see you." As he spoke, a soldier came in and reported.
"Someone is asking to see you again, who is it this time, is it here to send money? I didn't go first. Ye Junwen is also too lazy to talk to these people, it is better to go back and think about how to raise money to fight the elves when you have this time.
"Your Excellency, yes...... A magician of the Ancient Dragon Academy. The soldier said.
"Huh?" Ye Junwen was stunned for a moment, and then roughly understood. Yes, he probably knew the person who came to him, it should be the mage Ron, the archmage who had helped in the battle with the lizardmen before. However, after this war, the other party also said that he would go back to the academy to report the situation here, and now he should be back.
The purpose of the other party, Ye Junwen probably also knew that Ye Junwen didn't say that if he helped, he would also promote the birth of the magician legion or something, and now that they have captured the main city, it is estimated that Ron is here to ask about this matter.
"Magician...... Rich? Ye Junwen thought about it and suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Beverly was stunned directly, she didn't expect Ye Junwen to pay attention to the magicians, this is too exaggerated, how much do you want to fight the elf clan, do you really want to pick up a little bit of it in order to make up for military expenses?
"Hey, what about you, is the magician rich?" Ye Junwen saw Beverly in a daze and asked again.
"It should ...... It's kind of rich. Beverly said, it is true that many magicians are from noble backgrounds, and it was said before that many magicians are the second sons of nobles or something, although they will not inherit the family business, but they still have money. Of course, magicians also sell all kinds of magic props, magic scrolls and the like, after all, cultivating magic is also very expensive, and it is definitely not possible to have no source of funds, so most of them still have a little money.
"Okay, this military fund, let the magician do me a favor." Ye Junwen said suddenly.
"Huh? You don't want to do it to the magician, do you? Beverly said, "Although the power of the mages is only three academies, they are not to be underestimated, each academy has at least one saint-level mage, and the destruction power of the saint-level mages is even stronger than that of the Sword Saint, if we anger them, even if we have more troops, we will be wiped out." ”
The three major magic academies can exist for hundreds of years, of course, they have their heritage, so this is not a very strange thing, but Ye Junwen also waved his hand quickly: "Of course I don't want to fight them, I'm not a demon, how can I fight anyone when I see it." ”
"......" Beverly was a little speechless, after all, you hadn't seen one by one until now, and I felt that you were addicted to Xuan, "Then what are you going to do?" “
"Let's meet first." After Ye Junwen finished speaking, he also said to the soldiers, "Invite someone." ”
After a while, a mage appeared in front of Ye Junwen and them, and sure enough, as Ye Junwen expected, the person who appeared was Ron. Looking at the other party's face as if it was not bad, it seems that the previous events did not have any bad impact on him, so it should still be a good thing.
Sure enough, Ron also quickly said about the current situation, the previous magician changed the battle situation has now spread throughout the continent, before he went back to the academy to repay this matter, after some discussion, the academy feels that Ron's approach seems to be good, at least for the time being, it is a good attempt, the overall evaluation of magicians in the continent is much higher, and the emerging faction in the academy has also grown a little, these are all good things.
Of course, after introducing these, Ron also quickly talked about the purpose of this visit, of course, it was to continue to cooperate with Ye Junwen and them, this time he also brought a lot of his apprentices over, it should be noted that these apprentices are not those students who are still in the academy, but those mages who have graduated and studied with Ron, their abilities are very good, and of course they are also to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the mage group.
"That's a good thing, Master Ron, but I suddenly have a better proposal now." Ye Junwen also said suddenly.
"A better proposal?" Ron asked curiously.
"Yes, I think it's good that you mages want to stand out and change the world's perception of you, but it's still too small to build a mage legion now." Ye Junwen said, "Otherwise, you can simply establish a country, a country where all mages are located, what do you think?" ”
