Chapter 139: The Prologue to the Kingdom War
Chang Hao and his entourage bowed to Master Orn on the second day.
Ao En was quite surprised, originally the two sides negotiated such a big list, it should be a table of banquets to celebrate, and the strategic cooperation framework between the two sides is only a prototype, and the details have not been discussed yet, he can't imagine why Chang Hao is in a hurry to go back to Guangmingye like his ass is on fire.
Before leaving, Chang Hao pulled Orn aside alone, saying that he would triple the supply of iron ore that had been negotiated before.
In the face of this astronomical figure, Orn obviously did not dare to make a rash decision, because the iron ore supply proposed by Chang Hao has reached half of the annual output of Iron Hill, which will inevitably affect Iron Hill's export trade to other countries.
When Orn was about to reject the big order, Chang Hao took out a keel.
Orn was breathing heavily, and he couldn't take his eyes off his keel anymore.
This is the skeleton of a high-level dragon! When Orn had received the toe of the black dragon Smaug from an adventurer, he could make an artifact of "turning stones into gold" with something the size of a palm, and now a whole keel was placed in front of him, and a caster had bloodshot eyes.
This keel was picked up by Chang Hao on an uninhabited desert island before, and he originally wanted to use it to forge artifact-level weapons and armor, but he didn't have time and mature forging conditions, but at this time, he couldn't care about bargaining.
Orn wanted to refuse at first, but Chang Hao had no choice but to give too much.
Chang Hao's conditions were very rich, and the dragon bones of the entire flame dragon were sufficient, as long as Orn finally provided him with three sets of dragon bone armor. You must know that this keel weighs several tons, and it can create at least dozens of sets of dragon bone armor, which is not unattractive.
Master Orn lamented that there was really nothing in this world that could not be negotiated, it was just that the price was not high enough.
"Maybe you were right to go back sooner. Ao En personally sent Chang Hao to the gate of Iron Hill City, "Last night my cousin found me and said that the Orc Kingdom, the Elven Mansion and our Iron Hill seem to be going to make a big move. ”
"Big move? Can you reveal something? You don't understand the suffocation of people in half of the words?" Chang Hao rolled his eyes.
"Damn! I'm an iron-striker, I don't interfere in politics or military affairs, and I don't care about it, and my cousin just told me about it, but there are not many of them. ”
Chang Hao saw that Orn really didn't know more about the inside story, so he had to wave his hand, and soon left with everyone in the sky where no one was looking.
Chang Hao and his entourage trekked back to the Varonian wilderness, just two days after entering the Panda Rangers found the traces of the Panda Rangers, the Rangers threw out smoke bombs, and soon after, the distant sky sounded the roar of the engine, a team of Mustang fighters roared over the heads of everyone, led by the long plane flying at ultra-low altitude close to the ground, encountered a slope, a beautiful vertical climb, straight into the clouds, provoked a burst of applause from the Rangers.
Chang Hao was overjoyed, this was obviously the Mustang formation showing him the results of the training.
"It's Best. "The sharp-eyed platinum opens up the Pegasus horizon.
"This guy is really a natural pilot, and I didn't mistake him at the beginning. ”
Chang Hao originally thought that it would take at least a while for them to master superb flying skills when they came into contact with such a large modern machine, but he didn't expect Best to be so powerful, and it only took more than a month to show the potential to become an ace pilot.
As soon as Chang Hao led a group of cronies back to the main hall, Chu Xue immediately heard the news and came to him, his face was flushed, obviously there was something urgent.
"The kingdom sent a letter in an urgent manner some time ago, it was Prince Simba's guard, I said that you went out hunting, and you won't be able to come back for a while, they waited for several days in the bright field before leaving, and when they left, they left a package, and the chief steward Jarvis has already put it in your room. ”
Chu Xue handed over a letter stamped with red paint to Chang Hao.
Chang Hao frowned, this just came back, everyone's butts haven't touched the bench yet, and the kingdom is in a hurry to block him? It seems that what Orn said is indeed true.
Chang Hao opened the letter in front of everyone, and a lot of heads were crowded behind him.
The encrypted letters of the Kingdom Council are the same as those of the temple, and they are burned immediately after reading, and Chang Hao allows the letters in his hands to be burned to ashes, and the content of the letters is very short, only about two things.
He was recognized by the Council of the Kingdom for his merits and was promoted to the rank of Count.
The Orc Kingdom is about to embark on an expedition to the Desert Country.
The first news was expected by Chang Hao.
The war he won against the Human Empire was a great incentive to the Orc Kingdom, and those nobles also benefited a lot from this war, buying a lot of weapons and equipment from Guangmingye, and they also had a friendship with each other. So whether it is public or private, they must package him as a war hero.
While it sounds dark and full of deals, that's politics.
However, the second thing was completely unexpected by Chang Hao and even everyone.
Isn't declaring war on the desert kingdom? Isn't the desert nation a subordinate power of the empire? Doesn't declaring war on the desert nation mean waging war on the human empire?
When did the orc kingdom have this ability?
"Since the kingdom dares to make such a decision, it should be the formation of an alliance. Anna's furrowed brow widened slightly.
Hearing the word coalition, Herbert, who had a military career, thought thoughtfully.
Anna said, "Don't look at those nobles who only chase interests, in fact, the kingdom is also divided into the main battle faction and the peace negotiation faction, and two of the three main priests are the main battle faction." ”
"In that case, the priest Dante should be on the side of the peace negotiation faction, right?" Chang Hao quickly sensed Anna's words.
"Yes, my father hated war, and he believed that the starting point of all wars was only to satisfy the interests of the top, whether the slogans of war were loud or not, whether the name was high-sounding or not. Anna sighed, fortunately His Majesty had been on her father's side all these years, but this time it seemed that the wind had changed. ”
"Combined with the information that Orn revealed to us before, it seems that the Orc Kingdom, the Elven Mansion, and the Iron Hills plan to form an alliance to put pressure on the Human Empire?"
"That's right. Anna continued to use her brain to guess, "But this alliance will not be without causes, it may be that something has gone wrong on the part of the human empire and caused the national strength to be damaged, otherwise the three armies would not have hastily united." ”
"Herbert, Panta!" Chang Hao snapped his fingers.
"We're here, boss!" Herbert and Panta subconsciously excited.
"Pick a few spirited warriors and let them enter the city, and inquire about the recent news in the kingdom, and we must gather information as soon as possible. Chang Hao ordered.
The two strong men made another earth-shattering sound, twisting their big butts to carry out the order.
