Chapter 1579 1565. Imperial Capital
If it is said that during the Plane War, the lords all over the Green Empire suffered losses to varying degrees, but it was precisely the lords of the Western Knights Alliance who made a war windfall because of the frequent outbreaks of the Plane Wars in recent years.
A large area of land in the western province of the Green Empire is a fertile pasture, where the highest quality scaled horses are stocked.
For so many years, the Green Empire has been famous for its cavalry in the Roland Continent.
Now, as war horses have become a scarce resource, the lords of the western provinces are rising, and the price of war horses is also constantly increasing.
In the horse market, an ancient Bolai war horse that can be seen needs about 20 gold coins. If it is a high-quality war horse, it will be higher.
In the Grimm Empire, scaled horses are regarded as military resources, and even nobles cannot easily buy scaled horses.
The blue-scaled horses in Suldak's Constructed Knights were also captured from the McDonnell family during the battle on the Ganbu plane. As a stallion on the plateau to stocking.
So Suldak didn't bring all the blue-scaled horses to the Constructed Knights.
When he came to Epsom City this time, he originally wanted to buy a black-scaled horse, so he bought a black-scaled horse. If he couldn't buy a black-scaled horse, he could buy a blue-scaled horse.
Marquis Yves Kim told him that as long as he paid a sufficient price, even the scarce black-scaled horses in the market could be negotiated, so Suldak's heart suddenly came alive.
"The price..."
Suldak thought about it for a while, since the nobles in the Western Knights Alliance do not lack gold and magic spar, they have to bring out something special.
"Marquis Yves Kim, do you want to know how our West Route Army defeated those evil spirits on the Moyunling Highland?"
Suldak leaned on the chair and asked casually.
Marquis Yves Kim opened his eyes, stared at Suldak very seriously, and said, "Of course!"
"As we all know, if the Imperial Heavy Armored Infantry Legion and the Evil Ghost Legion are fighting on the frontal battlefield, the heavy armored infantry has almost no advantage in facing the menacing evil spirits. In the past, the biggest role of the heavy armored infantry regiment on the battlefield was to act as cannon fodder." Suldak said bluntly.
"At present, our West Route Army has entered the Moyunling Highlands. It is undeniable that we have a stronger cannon fodder corps. In addition, I have a new type of magical alchemy product in my hand—the explosive barrel."
Suldak started the promotion mode again, and introduced these powder kegs to Marquis Yves Kim.
I believe that if he paid a little attention to the Moyunling battlefield, he should have heard about these powder kegs.
Not as good as the battle on the Yin River, it can be regarded as a complete blow to the reputation of the monster army and mage army of the West Route Army. Among them, the ghost pattern soldiers and ants in the monster army cannot be copied, but the mage army is not difficult to form.
After hearing Suldak's detailed introduction of the power of the gunpowder barrel, which was actually used in conjunction with the mage group, Marquis Yves Kim suddenly realized that this thing can still be used in this way.
"This tactic has not been widely used by the lord armies on the battlefield. First of all, there are not many lord armies with mage groups. Secondly, fire phosphorus bombs cannot be produced in large quantities. If fire phosphorus bombs are used, the cost should be very high... But these Gunpowder kegs can be mass-produced right now." Surdak continued.
"Is this powder keg prepared using alchemy?" asked Marquis Yves Kim.
"It counts!"
"This kind of gunpowder barrel is not as powerful as the fire phosphorus bomb?" Marquis Yves Kim asked again.
Suldak said: "Well, it is slightly less powerful than the fire phosphorous bomb, but as long as you put a little more on the battlefield at one time, it will have unexpected effects. In addition, if you want to send a message to the evil ghost army It is necessary to form a group of mages to drop gunpowder barrels from the air."
Seeing that Marquis Yves Kim was still hesitant, Suldak said again:
"In addition, I can also provide a batch of healing potions. Although this healing potion is quite different from healing potions, it can also effectively accelerate wound healing."
Speaking of which, Suldak took out a box of plasters made by druids from his magic pocket. This dark brown paste looked a bit like refined fat. Marquis Yves Kim stretched out He picked some out of the box with his index finger and took it under his nose to smell it. A pungent herbal smell made him frown.
"How do I use this?" Marquis Yves Kim asked.
"It can be applied directly to wounds, but this stuff doesn't have much effect on serious injuries with intestinal perforation, but it can speed up healing and avoid infection for some skin wounds." Suldak explained.
"Can this thing really speed up wound healing?" Marquis Yves Kim asked.
Healing medicines are scarce supplies for any legion of the Green Empire. If the ointment brought out by Suldak really has a healing effect, it will be difficult for Marquis Yves Kim to refuse.
"You can find a few wounded soldiers to try now." Suldak said: "If you think it works, I will provide you with this kind of treatment medicine."
Marquis Yves Kim's eyes lit up, he took a box of ointment handed over by Suldak, and said cheerfully:
"Okay, I'm impressed with your terms, when can we make a deal?"
Suldak thought for a moment, then said:
"When I return from visiting relatives in Bena Province, it will be about two months later. I hope that I can bring 1,500 black-scaled horses back to the Moyunling Highlands, and I will also prepare a batch of these horses. Healing ointment, don't worry about the price of this kind of healing medicine, the production cost of this kind of medicine is very low, the price of such a box of ointment will definitely not be higher than that of a magic spar."
Marquis Yves Kim looked overjoyed, and said, "It's a deal, and I will trade this batch of black-scaled horses to you at the average market price."
After a conversation between the two, they quickly reached a transaction intention.
Marquis Yves Kim also planned to invite Suldak to dinner, but Suldak refused the invitation of Marquis Yves Kim because of another invitation.
Marquis Yves Kim originally planned to establish a military alliance with the West Route Army to jointly fight against the evil ghost army on the Warsaw plane. He was actually optimistic about the future potential of the West Route Army. Ending early, he hoped that Suldak's West Route Army could appear on the battlefield of the Kampato River.
It's just that she didn't expect that the commander of Suldak really had something that could make his heart beat.
Although he has established a military alliance with Suldak's West Route Army, he has to carefully consider what additional conditions he wants to propose.
Healing potions and black scaled horses are considered scarce items on the battlefield. Although the two cannot be exchanged directly, this complementary transaction can still benefit both parties.
Of course, the Western Knights Alliance will also have a powerful ally, and in turn, the same is true for Suldak.
The Western Knights Alliance has an extremely large army on the Warsaw plane, but the West Route Army can also be regarded as a great military exploit on the Warsaw plane, and neither of them suffers.
This time, Marquis Yves Kim not only made friends, but also sold a batch of black scaled horses. He seemed in a very good mood, and made an exception and invited Suldak to drink a glass of champagne.
Suldak is also very happy. For the lords of the empire, the Constructed Knights with black scale horses are the real Constructed Knights, and other mounts can only be regarded as miscellaneous Constructed Knights.
With this batch of black scaled horses, Suldak plans to purchase another batch of magic pattern structures to continue to expand the structure knights.
…
After reaching a preliminary transaction intention with Marquis Yves Kim, Suldak stayed at the Maple Leaf Hotel for one night, declined the kind invitations of some noble lords in Epsom City, and passed the transaction at noon the next day. Go to the portal in the central square and return to the Evelson Province of Roland Continent.
The Busman family has ruled the province of Evelson for hundreds of years. Following a series of wrong decisions by Duke Ryan Busman, the war on the Warsaw plane consumed the most elite lord army of the Busman family. It is considered to be the weakest period of the Busman family's dominance.
As a result, the city has become a lot more depressed. Although many shops on the street are open, there are not many customers.
In any case, the economic situation of Everson City is much better than that of Epsom City. In fact, it is more like a huge material transfer place. Together with the local business group, these materials will be transported to the Warsaw plane one after another.
Of course, this process is extremely long, and the only reason is that the portal to the Warsaw plane is too busy.
The army comes in and out of the portal almost every day, and the military supplies will take up a large part of the time, and there are almost 200,000 nobles and civilians waiting to return to the Green Empire in Epsom City so far. crowd.
Therefore, even if the portal in Evelson City can be transmitted 24 hours a day and night, it will take at least three months for all the materials in Evelson City to be transported to the Warsaw plane...
Suldak did not stay in the city.
To him, Everson City is a strange city that exudes malice.
He didn't want to have anything to do with the Busman family, so after walking out of the portal, Suldak took a magic caravan and went directly to the teleportation hall of Everson City...
If he had known that the teleportation gate of the Warsaw plane was only one street away from the teleportation hall of the Stargazer Union, he might have chosen to walk over.
It's really not far away... He got into the magic caravan, and before he even had a chance to enjoy some of the scenery in the city of Evelson, he hurriedly got off the carriage.
The teleportation hall of the Stargazer Union was built in the busiest business district in the city, surrounded by large buildings such as the opera house, arena, auction house, etc. When Suldak got off the carriage, he saw Aiwo City Hall in the city of Wilson.
This avenue may be the widest street in the city. The magic caravan was parked on the side of the road. Suldak paid the coachman a silver coin and walked towards the teleportation hall.
There are only two teleportation circles in the teleportation hall of the Stargazer Union, and these teleportation circles are only open to nobles. After entering the teleportation hall, Suldak found only a few nobles queuing in front of the counter.
The teleportation hall is very quiet, and everyone will keep their voices down even if they talk.
There are only two teleportation circles in the east and west, and the portal is more like a mirror the size of a door. Compared with the magnificent plane portal, the teleportation circle here is too simple.
Suldak paid the transfer fee of 20 magic spar in front of the counter...
The cost is so high that it is almost jaw-dropping.
The cost of one teleportation really made Suldak feel a bit heartbroken, but he had inquired about the price before coming, so he wasn't too surprised, but he couldn't believe it. It’s so high, so who usually rides on this thing...
The high cost of teleportation is also the main reason why he does not bring followers.
In addition, there is no direct teleportation circle from Eversen City to Bena City. Suldak needs to teleport from Eversen City to the Imperial Capital, and then from the Imperial Capital to Benar City.
However, when he came to the imperial capital this time, Suldak still had to make a short stop to buy a trading firm with a magic pattern structure. It is said that this trading firm has a strong background and has some relations with the Angibald royal family.
This small teleportation circle, the channel in the space rift is very stable. Suldak walked out of the portal without feeling any discomfort.
In addition, when he walked out of the mirror-like portal, the sight in front of him also shocked him. In the huge teleportation hall, there were more than fourteen teleportation circles standing all over the place, almost every teleportation circle In front of them stood a magician in a robe.
Suldak walked out of the teleportation circle, and saw the magician in front of him smiling, and greeted him cordially:
"Welcome to the imperial capital..."
Although the teleportation hall here is not crowded, there is still a long line of nobles coming in and out who plan to take the teleportation gate...
As expected of the imperial capital, there are so many rich people here, Suldak thought as he walked.
He didn't immediately transfer to the next teleportation circle to return to Bena City, but walked out from the teleportation hall...
Outside the teleportation hall, there are countless grand buildings. Those tall buildings are lined up on both sides of the street, which is not comparable to that of Everson City or Bena City. The street outside the teleportation hall is crowded with all kinds of gorgeous magic caravans.
But these are not what shocked Surdak the most...
Suldak stood at the door of the teleportation hall, raised his head and looked up at the sky of the imperial city, and there was actually a magnificent palace floating above the city.
Suldak was shocked by the grand scene in front of him, even his heartbeat was accelerating...
Moreover, he also saw some knights flying in the sky riding Gripen, which made him even more envious.
