The road to national restoration that began at the end of the century

March 18, 999 in the Bing Yang calendar

Crurod Empire Mine Island, Binamu City, a port city in the southwest of Toala Island

"Finally, finally you are here! At first we thought you had forgotten us, do you know? We only have the last 300,000 people left on the island.

"But...you can clearly see our flag, the bloody hand flag on a white background."

"It's okay, as long as they are compatriots, they are a hundred times better than aliens or monsters!"

Hearing such words, the first batch of soldiers who came to Toala Island on a transport ship nodded gently.

Although the country has changed, as long as it is the same race, the Rimai people will not be divided, and in a world with all kinds of intelligent races and even various beliefs, unity is the only choice.

Therefore, when His Majesty the Emperor of the Krorod Empire, Zelen, came to Binamu City under the protection of a group of guards, Binamu City's top military and political officials naturally paid homage to this man who did not have a crown for the time being and was only wearing a white dress. With a sword and pistol on his belt, the emperor came to the town hall and bowed to show his allegiance.

Zelen: "If you really can't hold on, you can come to Bo Ni Island."

Mayor: "Your Majesty, the current situation..."

Boom!

Unfortunately, another uninvited guest came looking for trouble.

In this regard, Zelen looked out the window of the city hall. A pig-headed woman also wearing a sailor skirt dropped from the sky with a large crystal cannonball, and used her magical power to destroy a five-story building. The 16-story building was pulled down instantly.

Zelen: "Youlizi."

Facing the pig-headed man's "special wholesale goods", Zelen already knew that the bullets were useless, so he pulled out his saber, and then surrounded the humanoid weapon accompanied by a group of guards who had bayonets ready for their rifles.

Ariko: "Oh? Qimi, Kakoyideoshuo? Asomi..."

Zelen, who couldn't understand the strange language spoken by the pig-headed man at all, didn't waste time to understand the other person's nonsense, and rushed forward with his knife in hand.

In response, the pig-headed man raised his left hand in an attempt to launch a magic attack. It's just a pity that Zelen is a magic insensible person and will not be affected by any type of magic attack at all.

Therefore, the sharp blade in Zelen's hand started at the pig-headed man's right shoulder and went down to the left abdomen. The blood spurting out not only made the pig-headed man stunned. Even the people of Binamu City couldn't help but be shocked. Then when the pig-headed man instinctively covered his wound and fell to his knees, Zelen chopped off the head of the fresh pig-headed man who just looked up at him with a knife. This is how a body without a head was "made".

Mayor: "Your Majesty..."

Zelen: "It's just this thing, there's nothing to be afraid of. Someone, come and clean it up."

Compared to the mayor who saw how Zelen could easily and simply cut off the head of a terrifying witch who could destroy the entire town, Zelen couldn't help but feel worried.

He is not afraid of ten or even a hundred Youlizi alone, but this does not mean that his people can easily deal with one Youlizi.

So after he finished dealing with the matter with the mayor of Binam City and other senior officials, he began to discuss it in his room with his wives and Prime Minister Tangeru Lux who came here specially. .

Lux: "A bullet that can kill magic users with one shot? Yes. However, this 11×67mm rifle bullet was previously produced by only three arsenals in the Crurod Empire."

Zelen: "Which three?"

Lux: "Savange Arms Company, Lymington Arms Company, Tingyang Ordnance Company. But in the final analysis, there is only one."

Zelen: "What do you mean?"

Lux: "Because Savant Arms Company and Lymington Arms Company, these two arsenals obtained production licenses from Tingyang Ordnance Institute. And the founder of Tingyang Ordnance Institute invented a special hunting weapon. The inventor of the magician's ammunition was rewarded by the emperor at the time, and he married ten wives. As a result, two of the ten wives belonged to the children of the two arsenal owners. production rights.”

Zelen: "Then will the descendants of this inventor continue to engage in such work? We really need such bullets to deal with Ariko."

Lux: "Well, actually, Your Majesty, you have a wife who knows about their family's affairs."

As he spoke, Zaifu Tangeru focused his attention on Marietta.

Marietta: "At least 150 years ago, their family did not continue to engage in the production of special ammunition, but chose to engage in politics to maintain their family business. So as far as I know, the Tang family is basically I am an official in the western part of the empire. As for the bullets you want, I know people from the Lymington Arms Company, and they are still making them."

Zelen: "Where is Lymington Arms?"

Marietta: "Knatipon City."

Zelen: "Isn't this just to the west of Sugui City?"

Marietta: "Yes. But like other private arsenals, they currently lack funds and raw materials for production."

Zelen: "Well, it's about money again. It would be great if the enemies could give us money."

Lux: "Your Majesty, strictly speaking, the Ariko you killed yourself is very valuable. As far as I know, if you are willing to sell Ariko's body to the black market, you can exchange it for a lot of Po Lat, or even It's a missile coming back."

Zelen: "A lizi... isn't it just a corpse? Is it worth money?"

Lux: "Your Majesty, it's mainly because not everyone in this world can use magic, so a magician's corpse is an inestimable fortune for people who can't use spells."

Zelen: "If I sell the lizi's corpse to the Linmington Arms Company, will they be willing to disclose the production technology of this witch hunting ammunition?"

Marietta: "Then you might as well buy their company in one go. A lizi's corpse is probably more valuable than all their company's assets."

Zelen: "Okay, I'll ask the research institute to take out the previous corpse. Anyway, the pig-headed people probably have a lot of lizi that can be brought to us for research. And, Marietta, can the Savage family produce it?"

Obviously, Zelen knows that he has plenty of opportunities to encounter lizi. And the more times he experiences it, the more he realizes the importance of technology.

Marietta: "Okay, after all, I'm here. But we also need to relocate here, and recruit female workers to replace some of the recruited male workers. To resume the production of such special ammunition, we Savanchi will have to wait at least three months. Therefore, although I also want to take all the orders, so far, only the Linmington Arms Company can fulfill your idea. What's more, our Savanchi family and the Linmington family are distant relatives, and the relationship between us is still okay."

Zeren: "Just like the one who brought you here is a man named Linmington Abiata?"

Marietta: "Yes. Our two families are related by marriage. Simply put, they are descendants of the younger sister's family, and we are descendants of the older sister."

The result is just as Marietta said. The Linmington Arms Company directly replied to Zeren in a very short time, agreeing to the acquisition and voluntarily handing over the position of the company boss to Zeren.

There is no way.

Even if he is just an emperor who rules but does not govern, and often comes out to pretend. But in the minds of many Japanese, the influence of His Majesty the Emperor is still very strong.

But it is precisely because of this that Zelen needs to think about how to recover the lost territory of the Krurod Empire as soon as possible. After all, the territory of the Krurod Empire is only one-third of its heyday, and the population...

According to the statistics of the Congress, it is less than 90 million.

Compared with the 300 million population in its heyday, it is simply incomparable. What's more troublesome is that the number of 90 million actually includes people hiding in some deep mountains and wild ridges, and it is unknown whether they are dead or alive.

In other words, he needs more people to serve the empire. At the same time, he has to think about how to make Binam City, a city built on a mineral vein, continue to provide enough metal resources for the empire.
