Heroes of Silver Moon - Chapter 720

“Wow, there’s really something amazing over there!” Clifford couldn’t help but exclaim after carefully examining the wreckage of the seized alchemy mecha.

Graton asked next to him: “How about it, Master Clifford, can our Silver Moon Kingdom imitate it?”

This kind of alchemy mecha is very powerful on the battlefield. If it cooperates with their artillery unit, the combat power of the Silver Moon Kingdom’s army may undergo a qualitative change again, so even he is moved.

Clifford shook his head: “There are three major systems of alchemy. Influenced by His Majesty, our Silver Moon Kingdom is now good at mechanics and materials, and this kind of alchemy mecha is obviously dominated by runes, so even if the machine is captured I am afraid that it will take decades to study the wreckage of Armor.”

Gratton seemed a little disappointed: “Is that so…”

But then he adjusted his mentality and invited Clifford to the headquarters to rest.

It’s fine if you can’t imitate it. Although the alchemy mechs are powerful, they are too rare in quantity. It is difficult to produce them at first glance, and a small number of mechas are just like that in front of artillery.

It is actually quite good to continue to develop the existing system of the Silver Moon Kingdom.

Gratton poured Clifford a cup of black tea and asked, “How is the domestic situation recently?”

Clifford took a sip of black tea, and sighed helplessly: “As soon as we heard that the empire was going to conquer us, all kinds of ghosts and snakes appeared. Many nobles fantasized about restoring the enfeoffment, fooled around and made empty promises, but the ridiculous thing is, There are actually some idiots who believe it is true.”

Empty promises are empty promises after all. Putting aside the gamble of one’s fortune and life, whether one can turn the king’s thigh, even if one succeeds afterwards, will the lord, who has regained power, really fulfill his promise?

So, those who were tricked into joining the rebels are really stupid!

And those nobles who contacted the empire and tried to restore the enfeoffment were even more stupid!

The empire itself has a large number of nobles, who expect to acquire fiefdoms and wealth through this war.

Nobles are greedy by nature, and when the Silvermoon Kingdom is destroyed, the noble forces of the Silvermoon Kingdom will only become fatter lambs.

Graton also poured himself a cup of black tea, and asked calmly, “How about the supplies?”

With Harris leading the backup legion, the scattered rebels in the kingdom are not to be feared at all. What he is most concerned about now is whether the current national strength of the Silver Moon Kingdom can guarantee the logistical supplies of the new legion.

Clifford was silent for a moment, then took another sip of black tea: “When did you find out?”

That’s right, in the previous civil war, most of the power in the hands of the lord was incorporated or dispersed, and now the resurgent rebels in the kingdom will not be able to jump around for long.

The most important thing is the material aspect.

During these seven or eight years, the Silver Moon Kingdom was either fighting or preparing for war, and its national power had already been exhausted.

In the past, through the arms trade, it was possible to purchase a large amount of materials from other countries to maintain consumption, but after the empire issued a conquest order, no country dared to do business with the Silver Moon Kingdom, and it was impossible to purchase materials. No matter how many gold coins there were, they could only be piled up in the warehouse Accumulated dust.

Graton said with a blank expression: “The food standard of the new army is a sausage, bread and noodle soup for breakfast, plus two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish for lunch and dinner. For armaments and weapons, there is only military compressed dry rations!”

Clifford corrected him: “It’s called military compressed biscuits, made of nuts, wheat flour, and dried meat. It’s actually pretty good, and it’s sure to fill up the stomachs of soldiers.”

Graton knocked on the table: “But you can’t let soldiers eat this every day!”

Clifford gritted his teeth and explained, “We’re already thinking of a way!”

Seeing signs of turning into a quarrel, Graton closed his eyes and took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and asked, “Tell me about your solution.”

Clifford picked up the black tea and drank it down: “Recently, we are planning a large-scale smuggling operation. If it succeeds, it should alleviate the embarrassment of insufficient supplies.”

“Oh, the empire has issued a subjugation order against us, but there are still countries that dare to smuggle with us?”

After dealing with the messy military affairs and asking the chaplain to mourn Bram who died in action, Mikkel also walked into the headquarters.

Clifford nodded towards Mikkel: “Marquis Sissoko.”

Mikil looked at him with an unfriendly expression: “I want to hear which country dares to take the risk of offending the empire and organize a large-scale smuggling operation with us.”

Gratton remained silent. Everyone is not a fool, and this kind of thing can be easily guessed.

Clifford was silent for a long time before he quietly said, “Of course it’s…with the Empire!”

“Bastard!” Mikkil rushed up and grabbed Clifford by the collar, gnashing his teeth and said, “We are fighting the empire in the front, and you are doing business with the empire in the back!”

Thinking of Bram who died in battle, and countless soldiers who had died, he wanted to kill these bastards!

Clifford didn’t show any weakness, and pushed Mikil away: “Then tell me what to do, will the army run out of food? Or let the kingdom collapse?!”

The empire is the overlord of the main continent and the dominant force of the human race. It has issued a conquest order, and no country dares to contact the Silver Moon Kingdom, except…itself!

Under the enfeoffment system, most of the kingdom’s wealth was piled up in warehouses by the lords to prevent future troubles.

After the abolition of the enfeoffment system, although Simon allowed the lord to keep the wealth, he forcibly borrowed the gold coins from the lord in the form of national debt afterwards.

Therefore, Silvermoon Kingdom is not short of money, only supplies!

As for the empire, although the land and resources ~www.mtlnovel.com~ produced dozens of times more than the Silver Moon Kingdom, most of the wealth was in the hands of the nobles.

Because of this war, the imperial family has already spent too much gold coins, they are not short of supplies but only money!

One side is not short of money or supplies, and the other side is not short of supplies or money, so even though they are not dying on the surface, secretly both sides acquiesce in this kind of smuggling.

No, it’s not even tacit consent, it’s the official organization of smuggling directly!

For the empire, if they get more gold coins, they can win the war faster. Not only can they maintain their majesty, but they can also drink blood from the defeated Silvermoon Kingdom.

Anyway, the winner takes all, and the materials lost now can be plundered back several times or even dozens of times.

As far as the Silver Moon Kingdom is concerned, if they get more supplies, they will be able to survive the difficulties until the end of the war, and then protect themselves.

Play wisely to protect yourself and exit in time. As long as you keep your principal, you will still have a chance to make a comeback.

“You!” Mikil was stunned speechless. From a rational point of view, smuggling with the Empire is the best choice for Silvermoon Kingdom.

But from an emotional point of view, he really felt worthless for those soldiers who had died in battle!

“That’s enough! Colonel, Master Clifford is right. When the country is in danger, the overall stability of the country should indeed be given priority.”

“But!” Mikkel clenched his fist unwillingly.

“Everyone get out, let me be quiet! I’m a little tired.” Graton pushed everyone out with his tired forehead. Faced with this situation, even he could only remain calm on the surface.

The soldiers fought **** battles for this country, logistics and enemy smuggling, also for this country, but… really unwilling!
