Empires Start with Lords - Chapter 43

Ross shook hands with the old butler, just as he was about to send the butler away.

Suddenly, a huge wheel immediately attracted the attention of the old butler. The cart with the tip in front was Ross’s weapon.

“how much is this?”

The old butler in uniform stared at the huge cart in front of him with glowing eyes, feeling very aggressive.

As soon as the old butler saw it, he immediately thought of the lack of a large weapon that could be assaulted in the kingdom proposed by General Luke, who was on the expedition side, at a ministerial meeting convened by the king last week.

General Luke is responsible for guarding the northern part of the kingdom. He is also known as the Northern God of War. He is one of the strongest generals in the Aklan Kingdom.

The north that Luke is guarding is at the junction of the Kingdom of Akram and the Kingdom of Rome. These years have been a relatively quiet area and nothing happened.

In contrast, in the more than ten years since the Roman Empire fell into loneliness, this kingdom has swept across several empires more than a decade ago, and has become a country that is evenly matched with the Kingdom of Aklan.

Among the six kingdoms, the Aklan Kingdom is in a relatively backward position. For many years, the diplomats have been very busy, but few countries are willing to establish diplomatic relations with the weak Aklan Kingdom.

In comparison, even the diplomacy of the Roman Kingdom, which has been lonely for more than ten years, is much stronger than that of the Aclan Kingdom.

Above the six kingdoms are the real rulers of this continent, the three major empires.

They are: the Huaxia Empire, which has the longest history and invented and used the gunpowder and HNA that really opened up a new era, the affiliated kingdom of the Huaxia Empire, and the big island country that developed independently after breaking away from China, the Yamato Empire.

The last one is the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, which completely conquered a huge land with the help of HNA and gunpowder invented by the Huaxia Empire.

Of these three great empires, any one of them can be used against the entire six great kingdoms.

It is not at the same level of combat power as the six major kingdoms, especially the Huaxia Empire. It even combined several kingdoms to surrender to Huaxia and unified them as the Huaxia Alliance. Its deterrent power is several times that of Aklan.

It can be said that even if Ross can ascend to the position in the future, he will face a world structure in which the combat power is extremely unequal, and war may break out at any time.

Fortunately, Ross doesn’t have to worry about all this now.

But it is the king and the eldest prince who are worried. Recently, the Roman army has frequently appeared near the border and established many camping tents.

Once the troops are dispatched collectively, the army deployed by General Luke of the Aklan Kingdom on the side of the huge gully in the north is very difficult to resist the attack of the Roman Kingdom.

Aklan can be said to be desperately lacking a huge mobile weapon that can act as a deterrent.

Therefore, the old butler was deeply attracted when he first saw the improved version of the marching assault vehicle.

Seeing this, Ross was overjoyed.

Maybe it’s another opportunity to make money.

“If you’re interested, I can take you to take a closer look.”

Ross warmly invited.

“Okay! Let this old man see your improvement.”

As a big butler of the kingdom, the old butler is of course very knowledgeable. He has seen this kind of cart, but at most after the improvement, some sharp blades similar to this are installed on the body to increase the threat of the enemy’s charge. .

However, at present, it can be said that it is a magically modified shape of the marching cart.

Almost hollowed out the interior of the cart, leaving only the essential items that Ross himself improved.

The old butler glanced at it and exclaimed, “Oh my God, why is there so much dangerous gunpowder connected to the rear and interior of the car!”

Ross smiled: “Mr. Steward, gunpowder is a good thing, just like the mysterious country in the east, gunpowder is the key to their invincibility to dominate the world.”

The old butler glanced at him suspiciously: “Don’t you think it’s very dangerous, if you put it in the army, you won’t be afraid of them suddenly exploding?”

“Yes, it’s very dangerous,” Ross said calmly, “but Mr. Steward, danger and aggressiveness coexist. This is not only an assault vehicle, but also a huge explosive barrel that can control self-detonation. The threat to the enemy is not comparable to an ordinary cart.”

Ross said: “Although I spent a lot of time on it, the benefits it brought me were two cities.”

When the old butler heard this, he looked at Ross in shock: “You used these stormtroopers to defeat Marquis Russell?!”

In fact, as early as last week, the story of Ross’s defeat of Marquis Raisel spread to the palace, and the old king was shocked for a moment. The old butler said unexpectedly, if this weapon is really that powerful, then Ross can be said to have done a good job for the kingdom. a very important contribution.

“It can be said that one-third of the credit goes to him, but if you want to buy it, I have a request.”

Ross is not at all worried that the royal family cannot imitate such weapons, and the craftsmen of the royal family are far more skilled than their own craftsmen. I believe that even if Ross does not sell it himself, the kingdom will find some way to get it. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

So Ross said simply: “If you want to buy it, ask the royal family to exchange it for fifty high-level craftsmen. If you want it now, it’s even better, 100,000 gold coins each.”

The old housekeeper didn’t understand, but for the royal family, fifty high-level craftsmen are not too few. It must be known that the high-level craftsmen of the entire royal family are top and rare talents.

“There are only more than 300 senior craftsmen in the royal family, so you want to take one-sixth?”

The old housekeeper bargained and said, “Twenty! There can’t be more.”

Ross smiled, turned his head, and called a few knights, “See off!”

The old butler panicked immediately, and was carried out by several knights, and immediately said, “Fifty is only fifty. I will buy five, but the money will be given to you first. Senior craftsmen must obtain the approval of the Minister of Military Aircraft!”

Ross nodded in satisfaction, agreeing.

Anyway, when you do business with the royal family, you don’t have to be afraid of the royal family’s default.

In this way, Ross got the senior craftsman who had to complete at least five tasks to unlock. Ross instantly had an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

Ross glanced at the two most recent missions.

Task: Double the monthly trade volume.

The current trade volume of Ross’s territory is close to 350,000 gold coins, and doubling it is 700,000 gold coins. This figure is very difficult to achieve, but Ross already has a way.

Mission 2: Become a Marquis.

Raising the title means almost impossible for Ross, who has left the royal family and has caused a series of conflicts with the next king’s heir.

Although Ross’s territory has already reached the standard of a marquis, all these rights still need to be approved by the royal family, which is the most troublesome for Ross.
