Section 107 Preparations for War (I)

Starting a new relationship always makes people feel more refreshed, and that's how Solomon was.

The use of Black Rock has been initially successful, and what is left is time.

Over time, when the power of the Black Rock to bring to the machine and its application in the field of magic are fully utilized, it will also be the time when Solomon's status will continue to rise.

The relationship has been exhibited again, which can be described as a double harvest of career and love, and swept away the previous bad luck.

However, although the days are good, the pressure and hardship also come with it, that is, once the legion is successfully formed, he really needs to choose a battlefield to go to before Yugudral and Farusion.

As a result of the effects of Black Rock's exploitation, merchants began to be willing to buy Salomon Bank's bonds, which were the first bonds to be successfully issued in the name of a private company.

In addition to receiving interest, the purchase of bonds will also have the right of first refusal to buy a share of Black Rock from Solomon, as well as the right to hire Dwarven Craftsmen in another company in which Solomon has a stake.

Mr. Searle's steam mill is running very well, and in just a few days the output has increased several times compared to before, equivalent to the flour production of the previous half month.

What he hoped for most now was for the dwarven craftsman to help him design a device that could use steam power to bake bread as well, so that he would not only beat all competitors in a short period of time, but also dominate the market.

Of course, this is just a good wish, because the other merchants have also seen the action of the dwarven machines, and they may not be willing to back down. However, Mr. Searle was already ahead of the curve, and had a natural advantage, and he was decisive in subscribing to Solomon's bonds in large quantities as soon as the steam mill was successful. Ensuring that they have a sufficient share of priority in the Black Rock Sale.

Bonds bearing the name of Black Rock are now traded on commodity exchanges like commodities. And it's hard to find money. The price has risen sharply, and it has been at a premium of more than 20%, and the benefits of its denomination and interest have long been revealed.

It was from this moment that the bond market quietly took shape in San Quentin, and there were only two types of bonds that could be traded at first, one was the Black Rock bond of Solomon Bank, and the other was the bond that converted the overdue debt into the last time in order to help the royal family cover up the ugliness.

The momentum of sales of the Black Rock bonds far outpaced the latter, and those who could not buy the bonds had to look forward to new bonds from Salomon Bank.

Since the bond is going well. Solomon's money was abundant, and he ordered weapons and armor from the dwarves through his own affiliated companies, and a large number of wound medicines, rehabilitations, and scrolls through Guòmes's workshop.

On the orc's side, Sidipat, after hearing that Taggo had also become Aurora's mercenaries, was really touched.

A mixed force of Rhine and Walls was already gathering and would march towards St. Quentin, with Claude's Sunflame Army in the middle monitoring the road until Solomon received it.

This orc mercenary will be the backbone of Solomon's army to fight in Yugudral or Farusion, as the beginning of the cooperation between the Rhine and Wolf and Asturias.

However, the cost of mercenaries has dropped significantly. Because Solomon has a good excuse, the success of Black Rock's exploitation has lowered the threshold for teleportation. Orcs aren't the only ones when it comes to choosing soldiers.

Solomon had almost ten days left before taking command of the army, and he could only spare another day to accompany Stephanie in her love.

Like every woman in love, Tiffany wants nothing more than to be by her lover's side at all times, and she even wants to sign up for the army as a female mage and get the chance to fight with Solomon.

This, of course, was not allowed, Solomon categorically refused, the danger on the battlefield was too great, especially now that the situation was not in Asturias' favor.

After entrusting Max with the preparation of war materials, Solomon prepared to return to the Black Rock Plane.

But before, Solomon waited a day for the arrival of Lizzy.

The current Black Rock plane is relatively calm, since the last time the aliens helped the nascent Stonefist Kingdom defeat the incoming Iron Fury and Gangyan, the other clans have been much more cautious, and they have changed their way and began to stay away from the sphere of influence of the Stonefist Kingdom, exchanging distance for safety.

And the Kingdom of Stone Fist is in need of a buffer period, and there is not enough manpower to continue to expand and start a new war with those big tribes, so during Solomon's absence, Tie Ye and the newborn dwarven slave owners and nobles around him are only selective against the small clans nearby.

Some small clans, who were lucky enough to have time to migrate, but who had no time to relocate, and who had a little strength, Tie Ye used inducements to forcibly merge each other and turn them into part of the kingdom, while those who dared to resist continued to become the lowest slaves of the new kingdom.

At this time, Solomon had stopped the slave trade, firstly, because the dwarves were really limited in the market, of course, dwarven women were an exception, but the new country of Stone Fist also needed a large number of women, even if it was a female slave to reproduce the population, Solomon was not convenient to overdo.

What's more, the real good things are rare and expensive, and if you really sell a large number of female dwarves, their value will also be reduced.

Solomon was only forced to trade slaves to get through his difficult times, but he didn't really want to be a big slave trader.

Moreover, although such a thing as a slave trade is not a heinous crime in this world, and it will be sentenced to life imprisonment or beheaded, it will also leave a bad reputation like making a mistake.

So Solomon was going to wash the floor, which is why he had told Catherine early in the morning to have Lizzie come to St. Quentin.

He brought Lizi Bao from Keos to the Black Rock Plane, and when Lizi Bao came out of the shuttle compartment and saw the terrible environment of the Black Rock Plane, he regretted it a little.

"What do you want me to do? You told me to make a documentary, what kind of film is that?"

"Documentaries are all about documenting something 'real' to get people's attention and resonance. Solomon said.

Standing on the high battlements of the Black Stone Castle, she swept the wind-blown show, and there was a black patch everywhere.

In the distance, a group of figures slowly moved towards Solomon's fortress, all dwarven slaves, who harnessed huge black rocks with ropes and dragged them towards the fortress.

Another reason why Solomon stopped selling dwarven slaves to Keos was that he was cooperating with Borok and them, and he needed the support and favor of the dwarven craftsmen, who did not want to be regarded as an enemy.

It's unlikely, but what if the dwarves of the Queos develop sympathy for the dwarves of the Black Rock Plane because of their resemblance?

What's more, he has now embarked on the road to the top, and the unfavorable reputation of the slave trade must be whitewashed.

However, slaves can still be used in large quantities on the Black Rock Plane, and these slaves have to drag the black boulders from the ground to the vicinity of the fortress every day, and hand them over to other groups of responsible slaves, who will chisel the giant black rock, break it down into smaller pieces, put it in a magic storage chest, and teleport it to the Ice Realm where the dwarves are located.

"Then how should I shoot them? Just shoot the 'real' life of them?" Lizi said puzzled.

"No, no, the 'authenticity' I need is selective. Solomon laughed, he stretched out his first finger, "You come here now just to see, to prepare, and then go back and choose the best photographer to come over, and then follow the steps I said to shoot, and then you need to edit, and the sample needs to be sent to me, and you can only do it with my permission, well, I'm afraid that when you finish shooting, I am already on the battlefield, and then find someone to send it to me." “

He held out his first finger and said, "First, the photographer you have chosen will go out with the army of the Stonefist Kingdom, he will capture the cruel side of the internal war of the dwarves, and then he will go and photograph the life of the slaves of the Stonefist Kingdom, which is more pitiful than these slaves who serve me, at least these people can still eat with me, and I have no intention of killing them." Therefore, you should also record the relatively better life of the slaves in my place, and take pictures of their rest after hard work, so that it will form a sharp contrast and hint with the previous shooting, and invisibly reduce the disparagement of others for my dwarf slave trafficking. Well, I've got a picture in mind, and at the end of your shoot, I'm going to free some of the slaves to become free people, so that they will be happy, they will cheer, and you must grab this set of shots and make it into the documentary. ”

"You, are you trying to figure out the documentary to make everyone think that you are actually a savior here?" asked Lizi, who was not sure of it.

"That's pretty much the effect, at least to make everyone forget that I sold slaves, or to make people think that although I sold slaves, I actually let these slaves leave hell and go to heaven, and the minimum goal is to glorify my actions as if they were actually doing good deeds, and by the way, try to highlight the ferocity and cruelty of these dwarves and natives. Solomon commanded.

Lizi couldn't help but gasp, what kind of documentary is this, it's completely deceiving, although what may be filmed are some real scenes that will be born, but they are all selectively filmed and then combined, and even take the initiative to create some inducing shots, which can really be described as a true lie.

"Well, I'll do my best. Lizzie agreed, and she looked a little worriedly at the barren surroundings with only one or two colors, and the Wolf standing under the wall.

It seems that she will have to prepare for a hard life until this is done.

Seeing that Liziba agreed, Solomon clapped his hands with satisfaction.

It was also a pre-war preparation, no less important than the supplies that Max was helping him with, and the dwarves were building the weapons and armor he had ordered, just under the orc legion that was marching on the road to St. Quentin. (To be continued......)
