"Are you trying to burn bridges by thinking that I, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, no longer exist?"
Barak did not answer Downton, but glared at the shareholders. His face was livid, and veins popped out on his clenched fists. Ding Dian Novel,
"We appreciate everything you have done for the Chief Merchant Group and the Tauren Tribe, but your business ideas are no longer appropriate."
A small shareholder pouted.
"Oh, so if you ask me to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy, do you also want me to hand over my shares and share them equally with you?"
Barak sneered.
"calm down!"
The second shareholder should be the peacemaker.
"I have calmed down, otherwise I would have fought you all. Who is Downton? He is my good brother and the great benefactor who brought the Tauren tribe to revival. It has only been a few good days now. You guys Are you going to be ungrateful? Touch your chest, is your heart cold? When did our ancestors teach you to be treacherous?"
Barak roared loudly, his wide eyes filled with bloodshot eyes, he was really angry.
"If it weren't for the Downton Free Trade Zone, you guys would still be boiling milk mixed with water and chewing moldy dried meat in a shabby tent, eating bread and wine every day? Go ahead and dream of your spring and autumn dreams! "
There was silence in the entire hall. Under Barak's angry shouting, most of the guests lowered their heads and looked embarrassed.
"Aren't we trying to live a better life for the common people of the tribe? Besides, we don't plan to leave Downton alone and go it alone. We just re-sign the contract to share the profits!"
A shareholder appeases.
"Working alone? Why don't you just take a pee and look at yourself in the mirror to see what you look like? Do you have the ability? Are you going to sign a new contract? Without Downton, I will starve you to death!"
Barak was absolutely furious.
"Don't forget, human beings are all cunning. How many big figures are as easy to talk to as Downton? To tell you the truth, that great goblin Abagon has wanted to modify the contract more than once. He has raised tariffs and lowered the purchase price of specialty products. Because Downton stopped us, we can just sit back and enjoy the current benefits. You don't want to repay the favor, but you plan to go it alone? This is ridiculous!"
Barak's words were like boiling oil poured into a fire pit. They immediately aroused a discussion.
Most of the people who can come to a luxurious hotel like Blood and Thunder to attend the banquet are the elites of the Tauren clan, and they all manage more or less businesses, so they are not stupid. They know that the price given by Downton is already very generous. .
As long as you are a Tauren, it is very convenient to do business in the Free Trade Zone in Frankfurt, not only in terms of taxes and purchase prices, but also in other matters.
Although the free trade zone enforces the rule of equality for everyone, in such a large area, there are always areas that are not well taken care of. But as long as you are a tauren, no matter if you lose something or seek help from the official, you can always be ranked ahead of others. , this is all thanks to Barak.
Just because Barak knew Downton, the tauren merchants received these preferential treatment. This is also why he, a guy from a commoner background, could become the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce without being ousted by the traditional chiefs and elders.
They did not dare. They were worried that after driving away Balak, the various preferential treatment conditions enjoyed by the Tauren in the free trade zone would disappear.
"Actually, I think the current contract is quite fair!"
If a shareholder shrinks his eggs, everyone will settle the score. Besides, the cunning and greed of the human aristocrats have completely defeated the orcs. Why should they give us preferential treatment? We only value the immediate interests and lose them in the long term. Isn’t it worth the loss?
"Barack, don't forget, you are a tauren, you should think from the perspective of an orc commoner, yes. Downton has made you a commoner and a noble, but this should not be the reason for your loyalty to him!
"
As expected of a member of the royal family who is good at political warfare, Kompany avoided the important and ignored the easy as soon as he opened his mouth, implying that Ballack was a bestial, which put him on the opposite side of the entire family.
This sentence contains too much meaning. Everyone present knows that Downton gave Barak his current status, so if he wants to guarantee his current rights, he must stand by him. In this way, no matter what,
No matter how much he said about considering the orcs, they were all quibbles...
"Short-sighted, who is the biggest force on the border currently? Those second-rate countries? No, it's Downton. He has a large number of floating warships. As long as they circle in the sky, how many countries will tremble? You have also seen this.
How many free trade zones have been established on the border in the middle of this year? But have any persisted? The security is chaotic, robbery and theft are rife, who can give us a stable trade environment except Frankfurt?"
Ballack's impassioned speech.
"That's Downton's men causing trouble!"
The second shareholder knew that this was not going to work, but as soon as he said something, he was interrupted.
"Let's not say that you are slandering, so what if you are? Fighting for the free trade zone depends on strength, isn't it? The current situation is that the Fox Legion of the West has made the surrounding countries flee, and you have signed contracts with other countries.
Aren't you afraid that he will call you?"
Barak's words silenced all the guests in the hall, even the shareholders. Yes, they forgot the biggest problem, which is that Downton's military power is very powerful.
"Downton has the title of the No. 1 General in the North. You can't defeat him with the same strength and type of soldiers. So what now? His subordinates are all barbarians, underground dwarves, drow and other races that are good at fighting.
, I’m afraid even if the Violent Bear Legion and the Werewolf Legion go, we’ll have to kneel down, just like us Tauren infantry equipped with vine armor?”
Barak's face was filled with a sarcastic smile,
"You are too proud of others!"
The shareholders with strong national dignity were not happy and shouted.
"Awesome? I forgot to tell you, not to mention the regular army in Frankfurt, they are just a miscellaneous regiment composed of hilly natives. They all wear armor made of steel and use metal weapons. Oh, the equipment of the elite regiment.
It was made by the giant Krupp, have you heard of it, Krupp? They are the race that is best at forging and metallurgy in the Western Continent! As for the dwarf craftsmen under Downton’s command, I don’t even bother to mention them!”
Barak's words once again silenced the hall. Some guests even remembered that Downton also housed a large number of tauren craftsmen. You must know that in the orc kingdom, the weapons they forged are the mainstream. But in Frankfort, only
Can be an assistant to those great craftsmen.
"In just five years since Downton became the Hand of the King, he has defeated several powerful enemies, expanded his territory, and made Frankfort the leader of a third-rate country. You want to make an enemy of such a genius? Are you out of your mind?
?”
Barak sneered again and again.
"Barack, don't be alarmist!"
Kompany glanced at Downton. If he hadn't been staring at him, he would have wanted to slap Ballack to death.
"Haha, it's so funny. Okay, even if what I just said is false, let me ask, who is Downton?"
Barak scanned the room.
The shareholders looked at each other, puzzled.
"Don't worry. I'm not talking about Downton's outstanding talent that has already achieved the position of Generalissimo at the age of twenty. What I mean is that Princess Sissi is chasing him. As long as he is willing, he can become the Prince of Bavaria immediately. He
My sister, Her Royal Highness Elaine, is the third princess of Saint Laurent, and she owns the five most prosperous main cities. Her annual income is much greater than your hard work and hard work!"
Barak looked at these short-sighted guys with contempt.
"Okay. Even if you don't think about the interests behind these relationships, I can tell you that Downton is the servant of the drow clan. He has a huge underground world market. He is also the uncrowned king of the Dragon Hills. There are countless people there.
Millions of natives depend on him for their livelihood. And the number will definitely increase in the future!"
This time, everyone was no longer silent, but began to gasp and looked at Downton in shock. After Barak said this, they realized that at some point, the power of the lucky man in the West who was in front of them had already
It has expanded to such a terrifying extent.
Some quick-thinking guests even thought of the recent rumors that Downton seemed to be the prince of the Brittanian Empire. If it was true, then maintaining a cooperative relationship with him would be a very good choice.
"snort!"
Little Hutao put her hands on her hips and straightened her back, her face full of pride. She couldn't understand many of Barak's words, but she knew that Downton was the best.
"Why are you so proud? Am I that powerful?"
Downton smiled and flicked Hu Tao's forehead, then looked at Elaine. To be honest, the stressful life he had been having left him no time to review and sort out the resources he had.
"Um!"
Elaine nodded.
The centrists, not to mention the second shareholders, all began to regret agreeing to Kompany's plan.
boom!
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Kompany decisively smashed the wine glass in his hand on the ground.
While drinks were splashing, dense footsteps could be heard, and groups of elite guards who had been ambushed for a long time rushed into the hall.
Archers also appeared on the surrounding rooftops, aiming at Downton, ready to snipe at any time.
"Haha, I thought these people were security guards, but I didn't expect they were actually targeting me!"
Downton was unmoved and tasted the wine calmly.
"Kompany, what do you mean?"
Barak questioned.
"Your Highness..."
Some shareholders who are qualified to speak also spoke up, complaining about Kompany's self-assertion.
"Downton, you should be proud. In order to deal with you, I brought the most elite Royal Guards, ten scepter-level generals, and five generals. Of course, I am not talented, I am just a legend!"
Kompany casually patted the non-existent dust on his robe and looked at Downton disdainfully, with a completely determined expression.
"so what?"
Downton asked rhetorically.
"Haha, let me see how long you can be stubborn?"
Kompany enjoyed the wonderful feeling brought by this power. He was even happier than conquering the most beautiful virgin. Look at the fearful expressions of those big nobles and big businessmen. It was like they were in the end of the world. Some of them were timid.
Some even knelt down and kowtowed.
"Your Highness!"
The shareholders felt bitter at the corners of their mouths. They knew that in addition to threatening Downton, Kompany was also trying to make the meal easier, leaving them with no choice but to follow him all the way to the dark side.
At this moment, many people regretted it, especially when they saw that Downton remained calm and composed in the face of such a strong lineup, they were all impressed. At least this courage was beyond their reach.
"Well, you must have made arrangements so that no matter what happens here, no other forces will intervene?"
Downton asked.
"Are you smart?"
Kompany chuckled, "What? Are you afraid? I am very generous and can accept your surrender!"
"No, you misunderstood, I mean, so that no one will bother me before I kill you!"
Downton smiled, showing eight white teeth, but the murderous intent contained in his words swept over the scene like an arctic cold current, and many people immediately shuddered.
This kind of naked contempt made Kompany's smile freeze, and then he roared.
"kill him!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the leadership of five grand marshals, ten scepters rushed towards Downton and his party. They had already studied his achievements, so they all gave up magic and engaged in melee combat.
"Wutnut, Juliet, protect Charlotte and Elaine!"
Downton ordered, grabbing Barak's arm and pulling him behind him. At the same time, he flicked his left hand and a green halo exploded.
The praise of nature instantly spread across the entire venue like a tsunami.,
Even though the enemies besieging Downton had a strong lineup, they did not underestimate Downton. His record was really too strong, so they entered a violent state at the beginning and wanted to take him down in the shortest time. But who knew that the natural praise sweep
However, the momentum they had just climbed fell.
"Damn it!"
At this moment, everyone remembered that Downton was also the natural enemy of the shaman, a priest with two magical praises.
Downton pumped his fist.
A huge savage phantom appeared from behind him and blasted forward, not seeking to kill the enemy, but just to delay it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the sound of breaking wind, accompanied by the clear chirping of birds, the firebird emerged from behind Downton, flapped its wings, radiated a halo of flames, intercepted the enemy, and shot out at the same time, heading towards Kompany.
"He belongs to our sister!"
Fiona shouted, holding a long sword, and shot at Kompany. Edith had no expression on her face, teleported behind him, and slashed with her sword.
boom!
Dozens of attacks fell on Downton, turning him into a puddle of flesh and blood.
"Be careful, it's a substitute technique, he's not dead yet!"
Before the shareholders could express their joy, a marshal yelled, putting everyone on alert.
ah!
A scream came, and everyone turned their heads to see a scepter's chest being pierced by a dragon spear. Blood was flowing across the chest. Downton picked up his body and threw it to the ground, smashing it into pieces.
"superior!"
The marshals shouted loudly, but the next moment, Downton disappeared from the spot.
ah!
Before Downton could be found, another scepter screamed, and then the voice became mute. Downton left behind him, holding his heart in his hand.
Snapped!
Downton crushed his heart and gave the people who besieged him a chill. It was a scepter. If placed in a third-rate country, it would be the existence of a strong man who could rule the country. However, in Downton's hands, it could not even last a round.
