Chapter 505: Chaos Is Coming
"Because the corrupted dragon is too ostentatious and cannot be taken out for robbery. If I were taken out, everyone in the empire would know that it was me."
"More importantly, a reliable warship will be of great help in the subsequent counter-insurgency campaign." Field smiled mysteriously, "This time the rebellions in the three western provinces are all coastal provinces."
"I understand." Ofili suddenly realized.
"Now that the corrupted lords of the Morning Veil Territory have been eliminated, the inclusion of the Morning Veil Territory in the territory is just a matter of time. We will wait until we gather the Corrupted Legion to recapture the battleship."
Field looked around at the mountains of corpses and seas of blood and laughed. There were no flowers or applause, but capturing Blue Water City made people feel extremely refreshed.
"The powerful rotting corpses in the Morning Veil Territory have been eliminated, and the remaining garbage water corpses will be given to the human army for practice." Field quickly ordered, "Ashina, please inspect the northern border of the Morning Veil Territory. We will build city walls and Watchtower, consolidate the victory."
"Yeah, leave it to me."
Since Dawn and Night are connected, after the recapture, the west of Night Territory is safe.
Instead, new defense areas were needed in the north and coastal areas of the Morning Veil Territory.
"As for territory construction, I will continue to purchase slaves. Do you have anything to add to the reclamation of the Morning Veil Territory?"
Everyone present looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and said in unison: "No more."
"Okay, let's go home."
Everyone packed lightly and quickly returned to the lord's palace in Starry Night City.
As soon as he sat down, Crock, who went out to run the business, came back and reported a shocking news to Field.
"Holy Angel City was attacked on a large scale by Calamity, with countless casualties!" Cun Guan, who was in charge of purchasing slaves, jumped up anxiously when they saw each other, "The imprisoned Calamity and demons were released!"
The young man's face was pale, and even though he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he was still trembling with fear.
That is a disaster that will destroy the world. They have been released. How can it be done?
"Hmm..." Field rubbed his chin, "Is this news reliable?"
"Sir, I dare to swear on the honor of my grandfather." Cun Guan raised his hand and said tremblingly, "There are crazy rumors outside. Many people spontaneously formed knights to support the Holy Angel City, although their travel expenses were to rob civilians. Come."
"I understand, don't panic."
Field showed no expression, but was thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.
One advantage is that there are many potential disasters that can be avoided.
There are also disadvantages. The church will definitely go crazy and the world will become more tense.
The attack on Holy Angel City is likely to trigger the emergence of more evil religions, weirdness and monsters, and chaos is imminent.
Although Field has no favorable opinion of the Church of Holy Light, they do fight against darkness. Many ghosts, vampires and various monsters were solved by the Holy Light Church.
Of course, it would do no harm to the Night Territory, as he was already in the Disaster Lair.
"As expected of your lord, after hearing such terrible news, his face did not change." Cun Guan was full of admiration.
"How is the quality of the slaves this time? How many slaves were bought back."
Field doesn't want to overthink things that are too far away for the time being.
"I bought back 380 slaves, 300 of them are female human slaves, and the rest are wolf demi-humans. The price has doubled again." The young man was so angry that he gritted his teeth. "Even the male slaves are old men. The aristocratic grandpas bought it and said they would use it as slave soldiers."
"Because a larger-scale war is about to break out." Field said nonchalantly. "When the war breaks out, the number of displaced people at the bottom will increase dramatically. By then, slaves will flood the market and prices will drop again."
This is a cycle, anyway, the unlucky ones are ordinary people, while businessmen and nobles make a lot of money.
"Did you get the ore I asked for?"
"Sir, there is no sulfur. The coal mine bought back five carriages as samples." Crock handed over the yellowed parchment, "This is the condition proposed by Soko Monastery. One carriage of coal will be sold to us at the price of five silver coins. "
"It's not expensive at all." Field nodded with satisfaction, "On the contrary, the transportation cost accounts for a large part of it."
Due to technical reasons, most people stay away from coal that releases "poisonous smoke". Coupled with the monopoly of religious forces, businessmen have no interest in coal.
"The monastery? Isn't that a place for prayer? Why is there coal?" The mermaid Ekalysia on the side was confused.
"Prayers are just an appearance. The monastery is not only the landowner, but also the original bank... Well, never mind what the bank is. Anyway, a large part of the salt, mines, and gems in the empire belong to the monastery. The same goes for the fertile farmland and wine cellars."
The Imperial Queen's finances mainly come from taxation, with production and trade accounting for a very small proportion.
The night collar is the opposite, with extremely low taxes and a high proportion of production and trade.
Fortunately, when I came to the night collar, there was no one breathing here.
Otherwise, the monastery will definitely become a huge financial obstacle, and they want everything.
"I don't know if there are any mineral deposits in the Morning Veil Territory. I really don't want to buy ore." Field sighed, turned to Crock and said, "Just cooperate with them. I will arrange a special fleet to transport the coal. You go and rest first."
After receiving the order, Cun Guan left the palace of the city lord.
"Lord Miscellaneous Fish, I have a problem here."
Ofili had already put on her maid uniform and walked out of the side room with her tail wagging: "Our armors are too small for demons to wear, and our weapons are too small and they swing like toys."
The corrupted demons are all over 2.5 meters tall and cannot be penetrated by human armor.
"That's a problem." Field stared at Tutu for a long time. It was the first time she saw such a queen-like maid. It seemed like she was serving her. "I remember there are noble skirts in the reserve clothes. You can try it."
"You don't like this?"
Opheli smiled slyly: "Don't think I don't know that you prefer short maid outfits to luxurious long skirts."
"Ahem, it doesn't have to be a maid outfit. What nurse uniforms~ high-slit cheongsams... What are you talking about."
After taking a sip of tea awkwardly, Field immediately promised: "I will solve the problem of equipment."
"Don't worry if you can't solve it, Lord of Trash." Opheli folded his arms, "The skin of the corrupted demon is no different from armor."
"It will be solved sooner or later. I'm just preparing to make coke, build windmills and waterwheels. The armor problem will be solved in an instant."
"Coke? Waterwheel? What's the connection."
Frenita, swinging her legs, came to the city lord's palace at some point. She leaned on the chair, tilted her head, and looked very curious.
"I know windmills. Farmers build them for drainage and flour grinding." Ofili chuckled.
"Almost, but they can be used for more than just flour grinding." Field dropped the charcoal pencil, picked up the blueprint and said, "Call the little fox. I have a task to arrange."
