Lord of War

Welcome, please remember the address of this site: , so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "Lord of War God" at any time...

Just as the civil war in the underground world intensified, the situation on the surface also became strange due to the dispatch of the expeditionary army of the Void Empire.

Expeditionary wars have not never happened before, but most of them are indirect wars.

For example, the Chinas Empire, known as the overlord in the eastern part of the Miracle Continent, once launched an expedition against the Fascist Kingdom in the southern part of the continent, but that was only because the two countries were too close to each other; There is quite a disagreement between the Northern Principality Federation and the St. Joles Empire located in the south of the continent; and the Emeria Empire, also located in the north of the continent, and the Millennium Covenant Empire located in the west of the continent are hostile to each other.

But no matter what contradictions and small-scale conflicts there are between these big countries and empires, it is because these countries are too close to each other, so in the overall development and growth of the country, there will be inevitable conflicts and frictions.

And it is definitely the first time in the tens of thousands of years since the end of the era of chaos in the Miracle Continent that the Void Empire directly declared war on the Duchy of Lumber.

You know, the Void Empire is located at the southern end of the continent, while the Lumber Principality is located at the northern end of the continent. The distance between the north and the south spans the entire Miracle Continent. Not to mention the terrifying supply line, just the marching speed, it will take at least two years. Expeditionary warfare is no better than casual travel. It took nearly a year for Sean and others to cross from the Kingdom of Portoroa to the Principality of Ryan. After all, the marching of the army has to take into account the situation of the entire army, so the marching speed will naturally be slower.

As for the use of the teleportation array, not to mention that no country can afford the high cost of teleporting an army over a long distance, even if it can afford it, no country will agree to the teleportation of a third-party army. After all, teleportation arrays are built in cities. If an army is allowed to enter the city of the kingdom through the teleportation array, if this army has malicious intentions, it will really shoot itself in the foot. .

In particular, the legion dispatched by the Void Empire this time is not an ordinary legion, but an ace legion with a great reputation.

In the past ten years, the changes in the situation in the Southern Continent can be described as unpredictable.

First, the national war between the Principality of Ryan and the Kingdom of Darbion suddenly broke out: it was originally just a controversial abandoned territory and a conflict between several small nobles in the south of the Kingdom of Darbion, but it turned out to be a war that triggered the outbreak of war between the two countries. fuse. But what people did not expect was that in this war, the Dabion Kingdom was actually defeated, and the defeat was so complete that this country, which also had a history of thousands of years, became history.

It was also during this war that a strange name broke into the field of vision of many countries in the Southern Continent: Sean Connery.

This lord with a mysterious background,

In this battle, he became the biggest beneficiary after the Kingdom of Lane: after the Principality of Lane was upgraded to restore the honor of the kingdom, the territory he obtained in the war was recognized by the Kingdom of Lane as an independent autonomous dominion, and allowed to establish the Duchy of the Void.

But after this national war ended, when everyone was looking at the Kingdom of Ryan, this mysterious black-haired lord did something that countless countries, even the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce, could not do. The Thing: He rules over the entire Badlands. By the time other people discovered this, all the tribes in the wild land had bowed their heads to the Void Principality, and completely got rid of the status of the wild land as a slave in the back garden of other surrounding countries.

Of course, not without countries protesting this.

But the result was that the Void Principality chopped off all the claws that tried to reach out to grab the meat, and this also led to two battles that broke out later: Blood Banner Revenge and the War against the Fascist Kingdom. It even triggered a major event that changed the situation of the entire Miracle Continent: the destruction of the Peace Council.

And all of these are the origins of the Void Empire.

When historians are studying the history of the establishment of the Void Empire, although there are several different factions arguing about the establishment of the Void Empire, no matter how these factions refute others, they all have one consensus: to rule the wild land, for the Void The empire has laid an unbreakable and solid foundation from the principality to the empire. If the wild tribes hadn't bowed their heads to the Void Principality at that time, or if the Void Principality hadn't ruled the entire barren land, then the Void Principality would never have become the Void Empire.

It is worth mentioning that those historians who study the history of the establishment of the Void Empire are currently divided into three schools of theories, namely, the theory of spiritual leadership that emphasizes the important role of the emperor in the establishment of the empire, and the theory that emphasizes the role of commanders in key battles. The theory of war that laid the foundation, and the theory of economic and political bodies that emphasized the important influence of the policies of Neil, the interior minister, on the development of the empire.

Among them, there are two branches of war doctrine, William Tactical Theory and Hella Strategic Theory, and the spiritual leader theory also includes Sean Connery Spiritual Leader Theory and Cecilia Lumber Connery Spiritual Leader Theory If these two tribes are strictly distinguished, historians on the history of the establishment of the Void Empire are divided into five schools.

At present, Sean Connery's theory of spiritual leadership has a strong upper hand in the theory of spiritual leadership.

After all, with the emperor Sean Connery missing for a long time, the Void Empire has not yet disintegrated and Cecilia has not officially ascended the throne, and other major heroes have not tried to seize the throne. It has to be said that Sean Connery Nally's important position in the minds of this group of people.

Of course, that's not the point.

The real point is that in the past ten years, the Thunder Lion, Cecilia Guards, Iron Wings, Scarlet Knights, Wings of Conviction and many other legions belonging to the Void Empire have created a great reputation.

Just looking at the achievements of these legions in the past ten years is enough to make countless weak countries pee their pants, not to mention the Silver Bean Legion, Wild Hunter Legion, Thunder Guard, Breaking Wind Sword Dancer Troop, Snow Wind Guard, etc. When many wild lands were still the back gardens of various countries, many countries were unwilling to fight with powerful armies. Now all these armies have become members of the void empire along with the wild tribes, and all of them have been integrated into the army system of the void empire. among.

Even those big kingdoms with strong national power are unwilling to fight against these troops of the Mad Dog Empire for no reason.

Yes, the Empire of the Void is now called a "mad dog" in the mouths of many countries in the Miracle Continent. All of this is naturally due to the fact that Xiao En has completed many kingdoms in ten years that could not be achieved by hundreds of thousands of years. Feats, and actions that are utterly reckless. At the very least, countless second- and third-rate kingdoms, as well as those weaker duchies, did not have the slightest liking for the Void Empire, because the destruction of the Peace Council was simply an unimaginable disaster for these countries.

In the past six months alone, as many as seventeen principalities and no less than seven weak kingdoms have completely become history.

Their land was occupied, their people were enslaved, the royal family and nobles were killed or bullied, and the casualties caused directly or indirectly by this were as high as tens of millions. A country with a political system that has been completely dragged down by frequent wars. Of course, everything has disadvantages and advantages. With the destruction of the Peace Council, those powerful kingdoms that have lost their restrictions and threats can also develop and grow at a faster speed: such as aggression and plunder.

And the first to bear the brunt is the trade capital known as the heart of the mainland.

...

In a camp located three kilometers southeast of the trade capital, a heavily armed force was escorting five carriages into the camp.

Although the three black carriages did not have any emblems, the carriages were made of black dragon wood.

This kind of wood is so hard that it can almost be used as ironware, but it is not heavy in itself, and what is even more commendable is that this kind of wood has a certain degree of cold resistance and fire resistance, even if you don't need to apply special alchemy potions, The wood is also very difficult to ignite or freeze into ice. Compared with the red dragonwood favored by the nobles, the black dragonwood is more widely used in military affairs, and the price is also higher.

The cost of the carriages of these five carriages alone is as high as several million gold coins, not to mention the low-key but extremely expensive and luxurious axles, wheels, guardrails, pedals and other accessories in the carriage carriages.

In Miracle Continent, there are quite a few families who can afford black dragon wood as a carriage , even the royal families of the Seven Great Empires probably only have two or three cars. It's not that these wealthy imperial families can't afford the price, but that the mining of black dragon wood is extremely difficult, and it often takes several years to cut down a single black dragon tree, while it usually takes three to five years to make a carriage carriage. black dragon tree logs.

Of course, what makes the black dragonwood even more precious is that there is only one place where the black dragonwood carriages are produced in the entire Miracle Continent, and that is the capital of trade.

It is also because of this that the Void Empire still does not have a carriage made of black dragon wood. In addition to the unfriendly relationship with the trading capital itself, the more reason is that the foundation of the Void Empire is still not enough: according to Neil's financial budget, the monthly financial balance of the Void Empire is less than 100,000 gold coins. Spending on the military is a figure that is enough to make anyone feel dumbfounded.

Of course, a large part of this situation is also due to the fact that the Void Empire currently has too few financial sources.

But in the final analysis, it is still the same sentence.

The foundation of the Void Empire is still too shallow.

But at present, Hela started an expeditionary war with a disagreement, which is another great burden for Neil.

After all, the previous wars did not put so much pressure on the Void Empire, purely because Hela and William both took the plundering method of supporting wars, which can meet the expenses of the various armies of the Void Empire to a large extent. But now, with the establishment of the Void Empire and the establishment of various borders, the cost of these garrisons has increased a lot at once, and the expeditionary campaign is not like a general war where the supply of war can be completed through plunder.

If William and the undead army's battlefield logistics supplies were not provided by the Millennium Covenant Empire, the Void Empire might not dare to break out of war at will now, let alone support Hella's expedition plan to the Duchy of Renbeier.

At this moment, under the instructions of the camp guards, the five carriages quickly stopped in front of a larger camp.

The doors of four of the carriages opened, and several passengers of different heights who were wearing hoods and cloaks got out of the carriage quickly and walked towards the camp. Following the actions of these passengers, the leader of the guards immediately dismounted and followed behind with a dozen guards.

It's just that before these people entered the camp, they were already intercepted by two werewolf guards.

"What do you mean?" a passenger asked.

"This is the commander's tent, and guards are not allowed to follow in." A werewolf grinned, and then spoke the common language of the mainland very fluently, "So, you can enter, but they cannot."

"What did you say!" The guard commander immediately showed anger, "We have the responsibility to protect the safety of our employer."

"If the main tent is not safe, there will be no safe place in this world." The werewolf replied neither humble nor overbearing, "Just wait outside here."

"What if we refuse?" the guard leader said in a deep voice.

Ignoring the guard's provocation, the werewolf guard raised his head suddenly, and dozens of werewolf guards standing guard surrounded them and surrounded the group. At the same time, there was a commotion in the camp, obviously showing signs of large-scale troop transfers.

A tense atmosphere suddenly rose.

It seemed that they heard the commotion, and a dignified young woman walked out of the tent.

This person is one of the four giants of Void Empire today, Minister of Foreign Affairs Diana.

Seeing the Lord's appearance, a passenger with a shrill voice asked, "Diana, is this how your Void Empire treats guests?"

Just at this time, the werewolf guard had already reported the situation to Diana, so when she heard the questioning words, Diana's expression was slightly solemn, and she said in a deep voice: "For friends , Our Void Empire has never been stingy with friendship, but for those who try to make trouble, we will not accommodate each other's temper.... I think my guards have made it very clear that your followers are forbidden to enter here."

"I don't believe in your Void Empire. If we can't let our entourage enter together, then we will leave now." The passenger with a high-pitched voice seemed a little annoyed.

"Guards, take them away." Diana sneered, then gave instructions to the werewolf who was reporting next to her, then turned and walked towards the tent.

It seems that Diana didn't expect Diana's attitude to be so tough, and the people around were obviously stunned.

"Please wait a moment, Miss Diana." Another passenger with a slightly hoarse voice said suddenly, "We came here with sincerity."

"If you come with sincerity, then we will welcome you very much." Diana stopped in her tracks, then turned around and said, "However, so far, I haven't seen where your sincerity lies."

The passenger with a hoarse voice sighed softly, and then said to the guards: "Just wait outside here."

"But..." The guard leader seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by the passenger's outstretched hand, "I see."

"Welcome." Diana smiled slightly, and then, right in front, led the seven mysterious visitors who were still unwilling to take off their cloaks into the tent.

Contrary to what everyone imagined, this space is enough to fill a tent that is more than enough for thirty people, but at this moment there are only two people.

In addition to Diana who led everyone in, the other person was Hela Garcia, the head of the strategy department who was also one of the Big Four with Diana.

However, in the current recognized situation, the status of William and Hela is obviously higher than that of Neil, and the other Big Three including Neil are higher than Diana. After all, the first three have always followed William's side, while Diana only joined the Void Empire's camp after the Blood Banner's revenge, so there is still a bit of a difference in this point of ignorance.

"It's a great honor to meet you, Your Excellency Garcia." The passenger with a hoarse voice lifted his hood, revealing the old face under the hood, "I am the president of the Demon Tower Chamber of Commerce, Kadong, an incompetent magician...These are the president of the Harvest Horn Chamber of Commerce, the president of the Legendary Fire Hammer Chamber of Commerce, the president of the Immortal Hammer Chamber of Commerce, the president of the Seddings Chamber of Commerce, and Rebi The president of the Na Chamber of Commerce, the president of the Somas Chamber of Commerce."

Following the introduction of Kadong, the president of the Demon Tower Chamber of Commerce, the other six mysterious visitors lifted their hoods one by one, revealing their faces under the hoods.

The Horn of Harvest Chamber of Commerce is one of the top ten chambers of commerce in the trading city together with the Magic Tower Chamber of Commerce. However, unlike the Magic Tower Chamber of Commerce, which focuses on selling various magic items, the Harvest Horn Chamber of Commerce’s business content is various crops and seeds, and of course there are indispensable plenty of grains and grains. And the president of the chamber of commerce is also a dark middle-aged man who looks very honest and honest, but as the president of the chamber of commerce who can occupy a place in the top ten chambers of commerce for a long time, absolutely no one will believe that this is really an honest man. people.

The presidents of the Legendary Fire Hammer Chamber of Commerce and the Immortal Hammer Chamber of Commerce were both dwarves, and their long beards were tied around their waists, which seemed to make them fatter. Although these two chambers of commerce are also one of the top ten chambers of commerce in the trading capital, the projects operated by the two chambers of commerce are different. For example, the legendary Fire Hammer chamber of commerce mainly sells various weapons and equipment, while the Immortal Hammer The Chamber of Commerce sells various craft products.

The felling and production technology of black dragon wood is the housekeeping skill of the Immortal Hammer Chamber of Commerce.

The president of the Sidings Chamber of Commerce is a burly middle-aged man with a fierce look on his body. This slave catcher who was born as a mercenary has grown the Sidings Chamber of Commerce to Becoming one of the top ten chambers of commerce is not only due to the slave business of the Seddings Chamber of Commerce, which specializes in human trafficking, but is also closely related to the toughness, cunning, and cruelty of the president of the chamber of commerce.

As for Lei Bina Chamber of Commerce and Somas Chamber of Commerce, although both of them are also one of the top ten chambers of commerce, their family business is not as good as the previous five peers. For example, the Somas Chamber of Commerce relies on the strategy of small profits but quick turnover to become one of the top ten chambers of commerce. After all, the business of alchemy medicine is not so unique; and the situation of the Leibina Chamber of Commerce is slightly better than that of the Somas Chamber of Commerce. Some, after all, in addition to selling war horses and Warcraft crystal cores, they will also do some business similar to intelligence.

There are seven of the top ten chambers of commerce.

"Well, aren't the Tintin Chamber of Commerce, Leiyun Chamber of Commerce and Brothers Chamber of Commerce here?" Hela said thoughtfully.

"The Brothers Chamber of Commerce has withdrawn from the trading capital." The one who spoke was the president of the Rebina Chamber of Commerce, Rebina, a red-haired young woman with a hair color that symbolizes enthusiasm, "Your Excellency Hela, you should know, The particularity of the Brother Chamber of Commerce, so they don't need to stick to the trading capital."

Brothers Chamber of Commerce, it is rumored that it is composed of three brothers. The projects operated by their Chamber of Commerce are mercenaries, and of course there are various assassinations. It is said that more than 60% of the defense work in the trade capital is carried out by the brother chambers of commerce. They purchase weapons from the legendary Firehammer chamber of commerce, purchase food from the Harvest Horn chamber of commerce, and purchase soldiers from the Sidings chamber of commerce, and then surrender the war The prisoners of war were resold to the Seddings Chamber of Commerce, and the spying and collected information were resold to the Rebina Chamber of Commerce, and some captured spoils were also sold to other chambers of commerce in the trading capital.

It can be said that without the Brother Chamber of Commerce, the blood circulation in the trading capital would be cut in half.

"Then it seems that the Tintin Chamber of Commerce and the Leiyun Chamber of Commerce should have similar results." Hela smiled, and then said, "Then according to the rules of your trade capital, if you leave the border of the trade capital, you will no longer be subject to trade. The shelter of the capital?"

"Master Hela, what are you... planning to do?" Kadong asked cautiously.

"Thunder Cloud Chamber of Commerce and our Void Empire are old acquaintances. I just want to invite them to be our guests." Hela said with a smile, but her words were full of murderous intent.

As we all know, when the Void Empire was only a small barony, it had already been at odds with the Thunder Cloud Chamber of Commerce, and the Thunder Cloud Chamber of Commerce even thought of economic sanctions to reduce the living space of the Void Territory. It can be said that the conflict between the Void Empire and the Thunder Cloud Chamber of Commerce has a long history, but the Thunder Cloud Chamber of Commerce has been hiding in the trading capital, especially after the establishment of the Void Empire, it will be located in the Kingdom of Ryan and the Kingdom of Hales. , the Kalosa Tribal United Nations, and the Robin Knight Kingdom's industries all evacuated, so the Void Empire has no good way to retaliate.

Now that the trading capital is almost falling apart, how could the Void Empire not take advantage of the fire and loot it.

Yes, at this moment the capital of trade is falling into an unprecedented crisis.

It is absolutely impossible to say that no one is staring at such a big piece of fat like the capital of trade, but the military strength of the capital of trade has not been too weak for a long time, and there is also a "continent of peace" called the Peace Council. With the Bureau of Checks and Balances in place, it would be impossible to break into the trade capital simply by pushing horizontally with military power, because no country or allied forces could afford such terrible battle damage.

However, the big country that can bear this kind of war damage is too far away from the trading capital. In addition, if a war breaks out, it will be fine if it can successfully take over the trading capital. If the domestic chamber of commerce is completely withdrawn, the consequences will undoubtedly be very dire.

However, with the destruction of the Peace Council, the institutions that check and balance the balance of the entire Miracle Continent no longer exist. As long as the benefits are distributed properly, it is naturally not impossible to capture the trade capital. Especially after the major mercenary regiments and mercenary regiments that were originally stationed in the trade capital and relied on defense work to survive have withdrawn from the trade capital, the brother chamber of commerce alone can no longer defend the entire trade capital. .

It is precisely because of this that the Brother Chamber of Commerce naturally chose to withdraw from the trade capital after receiving the news that the multi-national coalition forces were approaching the trade capital. After all, the operating nature of Brother Chamber of Commerce allows them to live very well no matter where they are.

Seeing that Hela had begun to order people to "invite" the Thunder Cloud Chamber of Commerce, the president of the Somas Chamber of Commerce standing aside couldn't help but said: "The Thunder Cloud Chamber of Commerce...leaved with Brother Chamber of Commerce, They have already transferred all the assets of the entire trading capital.....Ding Ding Chamber of Commerce, because of its grievances with Leiyun Chamber of Commerce and brother chambers of commerce, was eliminated a few days ago."

"Oh." Hela raised her brows, glanced at the president of the Somas Chamber of Commerce who spoke, an old man who was over half a century old as the president of the Magic Tower Chamber of Commerce, and then turned to face the The werewolf guard said, "...If this is the case, then change the plan. Let Fanny lead the peace team to cooperate with the Scarlet Knights, Thunder Lion, and Cecilia's Guards to attack together. Tell Alfred that if If the Brother Chamber of Commerce abandons the Thunder Cloud Chamber of Commerce, avoid conflicts with the Brother Chamber of Commerce, otherwise, invite the Brother Chamber of Commerce together."

Hela deliberately emphasized the word "please".

"Yes." The werewolf guard nodded, with excitement and cruelty in his eyes, and soon left the camp to give combat orders.

This time, in order to avoid increasing Clover's influence in the Void Empire, Hela not only transferred Alfred's Thunder Lion and Dwight's Scarlet Knights into the expeditionary army, but even the Silver Bean Legion, The Breaking Wind Sword Dancer Troop and the Snow Wind Guards were also transferred to the Expeditionary Army. At the same time, there were 100,000 mixed troops from the Void Empire and the Wild Land.

As for the powerhouses, in addition to the super powerhouses Alexis and Kozilek, the legendary powerhouse Hela also mobilized ten people to join the expeditionary force. Among them are Absolute Swordsman Fanny who has just joined the Void Empire, three legendary experts who have joined the Void Empire from the Peace Council, two legendary experts who have come to seek refuge after hearing of the Void Empire's powerful reputation, and those who originally belonged to the Void Empire. The two legendary powerhouses of the Pofeng tribe and the Xuefeng tribe: the sword dancer Vinya, the sharpshooter Marton, the current commander of the Silver Bean Legion, the wolf emperor Orianna, and the demon descendant who has been in charge of protecting Hela son. Harding et al.

Hearing that Hela sent out such a powerful lineup to chase after the Leiyun Chamber of Commerce and Brothers Chamber of Commerce without hesitation, even though he knew that they were under attack, Kadong was still shocked. And when he saw the tangled expression on his companion's face, he knew that their preparatory work for the negotiation this time was probably useless: after all, their mentality was already at a disadvantage before the negotiation officially started. Then the outcome of this negotiation can be imagined.

Thinking of this, Katong felt bitter.

But no matter how bitter he was, he had no choice but to open his mouth. After all, his Demon Tower Chamber of Commerce had always been the top ten chamber of commerce.

"Before we formally explain our reason for coming, I have a small gift for Master Xiao En." Gadong took a deep breath, and then said, "The fifth black dragon wooden carriage parked outside the camp now, We just completed it a few days ago, this is a gift we presented to celebrate the establishment of the Void Empire, I hope Lord Xiao En will not blame us for this belated gift."

"You can rest assured that Sean is not such a stingy person." Hela smiled, "Look at me, I forgot to ask you to sit down....Come on, please sit down, I'll let someone make some tea for you."

Under Diana's signal, some logistics personnel soon delivered some tea and pastries to the camp.

These teas and pastries are just ordinary things, and they usually only appear on the dining tables of ordinary people. As Hela and Diana, they can naturally eat better tea. It’s just that the Void Empire’s finances are tight now. If it weren’t for entertaining the ten presidents of the top ten chambers of commerce from the trading capital, Hela and Diana wouldn’t even ask people to prepare any tea and cakes. A bag of water.

Several presidents of the chamber of commerce simply ate a few mouthfuls, and after thinking about it, they stopped eating and started looking at Diana and Hela.

It's just that Diana and Hela are people who have seen big wind and waves after all, so naturally they won't speak first at this time, but continue to enjoy their rare rest time as if they don't know anything.

Therefore, it was still the president of the Demon Tower Chamber of Commerce who finally broke the silence: "We are here this time because we hope His Excellency Hela can protect our trading capital."

"President Kadong, you are joking. I also understand the fair and free customs of the trading capital." Hela smiled and shook her head, with an expression of "don't make fun of me", "The trading capital has always been It is called the City of Freedom, and you will never allow any national army to enter it."

"Master Hela, we are not going to speak secretly." Knowing that the negotiation has failed from the very beginning, and their chamber of commerce alliance has almost no advantage, Kadong is straightforward, "The current situation of the trading capital is already It's very bad. Based on the words of our seven families, it is no problem to resist the invasion of a country like the Kingdom of Ryan, but if it is the invasion of a kingdom like the Kingdom of Ryan, we will have to lose sight of one thing, let alone prepare to invade the trading capital this time. The coalition forces of as many as ten countries."

"Our supply line is not that long. If we intervene in a war between your trading capital and the multinational coalition forces, the expenses we need to bear will intensify." Hela shook her head, "This is not what we hope to see .”

"In terms of logistics supplies, our Harvest Horn can promise you that we will provide you with free food supplies for a year." After hearing Kadong bluntly speaking about the situation of the trading capital, the honest dark man said, He knew that they had no hope of negotiating, so he also stated the pre-negotiated result very simply, "And we can also help you maintain the operation of the supply line."

"Not enough." Hela shook her head, "You know, your enemies this time are as many as ten countries."

"In terms of equipment maintenance, our legendary fire hammer can also help." The dwarf from the legendary fire hammer also expressed his opinion, "and in terms of war supplies, it's not just food, we can also help with the consumption of military supplies I can supplement it for you for free."

"The problem of the supply line being too long, we Immortal Hammer can also help to find a solution." The president of the Immortal Hammer Chamber of Commerce followed up with the opening speech. It can be seen that he and the president of the Legendary Fire Hammer Chamber of Commerce should obviously be related. , "Our Immortal Hammer is not just selling handicrafts, we have also made some achievements in the field of transportation vehicles. The load truck produced by our Immortal Hammer has a carrying capacity five times that of ordinary trucks, which can greatly reduce the delivery of supply lines. Difficulty and cost."

"It's still not enough." Hela still shook her head. She didn't say where the shortage was, but the word "not enough" was enough to explain everything. Even the presidents of the seven chambers of commerce knew that the Void Empire was talking to the lion, but They still have no choice.

"As for the supply of soldiers, our Seddings Chamber of Commerce can make a promise to you and guarantee satisfaction."

"Our Rebina Chamber of Commerce has some isolated maps, and I believe that we can provide you with better options for your marching route."

"In terms of medical treatment, although our Somas Chamber of Commerce does not have any good solutions, we can still provide hemostatic drugs and the like."

Hearing that his companions had already offered prices, Kadong could only sigh helplessly: "Although my Demon Tower Chamber of Commerce cannot satisfy all the armament replacements for your expeditionary army, we still have some savings, and we should be able to To a large extent, it makes up for the lack of magical combat power of the Void Empire."

"I am personally very satisfied with the conditions you put forward, and I believe Lord Hela will not be dissatisfied." Before Hela could speak, Diana took the words with a smile on her face, "It's just that we The action is an expedition to the Duchy of Renbeier, if Lord Neil and Cecilia know that we have made an asylum promise to your trading capital, I am afraid they will be very unhappy."

No one answered, and the presidents of the seven major chambers of commerce kept silent at this time.

But amidst this silence, they were also slightly relieved, because Diana's willingness to answer meant that there was still something to talk about. For businessmen, as long as they can communicate, there must be a turning point, and the turning point means the success rate. Of course, this also comes at a price.

"However, if the capital of trade can join the Void Empire, then I believe neither Lord Neil nor Lord Cecilia will object."

Sure enough, Diana quickly proposed the price they need to pay.

What they didn't expect was that the price would be so high!

"this……"

"Don't rush to refuse." Diana said with a smile, "The capital of trade can still maintain your free style and the laws you originally formulated. Our Void Empire will not interfere, but let you become our Void Empire. It’s just a province of economy. In other words, you may need to pay a considerable amount of tax fees, but I believe that with the amount of gold swallowed by your trading capital, you will definitely not care about this tax fee.”

This condition does not sound difficult to accept.

But Kadong clearly heard the implication: "If our trading capital joins the Void Empire, does that mean we have become legal citizens of the Void Empire?"

"Naturally." Diana smiled and nodded.

"Then we have become legal citizens, which means that we also have the obligations and responsibilities we need to fulfill towards the Void Empire?"

Diana smiled like a flower: "That's right."

"Then may I ask, about this obligation and responsibility?"

"You will be fully responsible for the supply line of the expeditionary force." Diana smiled and said the answer, "And as the empire's due obligation, we will also protect the trading capital to ensure that you stay away from all dangers of war. You still You can retain the size of your existing guard force, and ensure that you will not interfere with the independent rights and laws and regulations of your trading capital without conflicting with the laws of the empire....Of course, the Seddings Chamber of Commerce may need to undergo transformation. In this regard, our Void Empire promises to satisfy you...Look, to become the second Chamber of Commerce of Armed Forces like the Brothers Chamber of Commerce, I don’t know what President Seddings thinks?"

"Do I have the right to refuse?" With a wry smile, the chairman of the Seddings Chamber of Commerce was quite open-minded, "It's just that after our Seddings Chamber of Commerce becomes the chamber of armed mercenary forces, I'm afraid we don't have much freedom?"

No country will allow such an uncontrolled and powerful armed force to exist in its own country.

"I believe this, and we can discuss and discuss slowly later." Diana replied evasively, "Of course, in return, all chambers of commerce registered in the trade capital will have a hundred hours of import and export trade within the void empire." 30% commercial tax exemption. Major strategic materials and commodities, except for items that are prohibited from trading, all have 10% commercial tax exemption. In addition, we will also trade all military supplies capital to purchase."

Listening to Diana clearly listing these contents, how can the presidents of the seven major chambers of commerce not know that the Void Empire has long been prepared.

I'm afraid that even without the invasion of the Allied Forces of the Ten Nations, the Void Empire would never let go of such a piece of meat as the Trade Capital, especially since there is also the Leiyun Chamber of Commerce in the Trade Capital, which has an old grudge against the Void Empire. As long as you find any excuse, it is enough for the Void Empire to launch an aggressive war against the trading capital. In other words, now that the Peace Council has been destroyed, the excuse for war is no longer even needed.

Of course, invading and plundering the trade capital is definitely not more valuable than annexing the trade capital.

With the outcome already doomed, the so-called negotiation is nothing more than a struggle to maximize one's own interests.

And this kind of thing is naturally not what Hela is good at, so she just let Diana Lion openly bargain with the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. After all, annexing the capital of trade to become a major economic province of the Void Empire will definitely alleviate the financial crisis of the Void Empire, but as a price, the economic center of the Void Empire may have to be given up. There is a large expense to be paid for the troops stationed in such an enclave.

What Hela is thinking about now is how to reduce the expenditure of the garrison in the trade capital.

But after thinking about it, there was only one answer in her mind: Let Ulamog come to garrison.

The negotiation process didn't last too long. In less than an hour, Diana had already reached an agreement with the presidents of the seven chambers of commerce.
