Groups of hilly natives came out of the Hongshan Forest and gathered towards Chenwu Town. The civilians on the border were so frightened that they hid in their homes and did not dare to come out.
In the town, people with some savings have temporarily moved away, and even the business group has been reduced a lot. Everyone feels the suffocating atmosphere before the war. How dare they feel uncomfortable at this time? They would rather make less money than
Throw your life here.
Let Rosicky formulate a combat plan, and Downton entered the Hive Independent Laboratory.
"Xia Luo, you have been tired for more than half a month!"
Watching the lunch go cold, Xian Lang didn't eat it at all, so Downton changed it for him.
War is all about logistics. In addition to food, equipment, and medicines, we also need to keep up. At this time, steel potions are no longer important. What Downton needs are a large number of ordinary healing potions.
For Xia Luo's level, there is no problem in making these, but the continuous work without sleep has made her mentally exhausted.
"I have no problem. I just hope that you will fulfill your promise after taking over the Western Territory and give the orcs a place to live." Charlotte filtered the solution while speaking, and her fingers holding the test tube remained motionless, showing off her superb skills.
"definitely!"
Downton will not break his promise and is ready to return to another laboratory.
"You still want to prepare medicine? Don't you need to go up there to take a look?" Xia Luo was surprised. At this time, the general should show up frequently to give his subordinates confidence.
"If there's a problem, Homer will let me know."
Downton wanted to prepare more potions so that there might be fewer casualties.
"You are the first human being I have ever seen who is so kind to the natives of the hills." Xian Lang praised, if it were anyone else, he would definitely treat the ogres as cannon fodder, and there would be no way to prepare medicines for them.
"As long as they fight for me, I will not treat them badly." Downton didn't want to delay. The time difference between the independent laboratory and the Western Land was all achieved by burning a large amount of magic stones. He wasted one second now and counted.
The loss of hundreds of gold coins.
"By the way, I have a treasured potion formula that I will use to solve this incident. Can you solve it with me at once?" Downton extended the invitation, feeling a little uneasy.
"OK!"
Charlotte did not refuse. After knowing that Downton was not a racist and that he treated orcs equally, her feelings for him improved a lot. Of course, there was no need to talk about love!
After taking one look at Xian Lang's beautiful figure, Downton quietly withdrew. However, he didn't work for long before he was interrupted by Homer.
"Abagon has something important to report!" Homer put the completed potion into the war space and warned Downton, "You need to rest. If you continue to stay awake like this, your combat power will be greatly reduced."
"I got it." Downton returned to the dungeon through the cross-light door. As soon as he walked into the study, he saw Miliya exiting with a dinner plate.
"grown ups?"
Miliya was stunned. She quickly lowered her head and retreated to the side.
"Are you still used to living here?"
Downton was not in a hurry to go in. After killing the young man, he hesitated and feared retaliation. He had already brought back everyone in the royal villa, leaving only Abagong to buy supplies. Of course, he left a team of haters to protect him.
he.
"Habit!"
To be honest, when she first came to the dungeon, Miliya was frightened, and then she was shocked. She didn't expect that the young man was actually the dungeon lord. But she soon adapted to all this, and she was happy with her current life.
Couldn't be more satisfied.
The daily maid work is very easy. After all, Elaine and the others are good people and are used to being self-reliant. They have few things to do, so they only clean the house. Of course, the most important thing is that it is possible to cure her daughter's disease, which makes her
My mood has improved, and my face has become a little brighter.
"That's good, go and do your work!"
Downton nodded and walked into the study.
Listening to Abagon's respectful greetings, Miliya was stunned for a moment and looked down.
The maid outfit is elegant and decent. Although a small part of her breasts is exposed, this is the most popular outfit nowadays. Not only does it not have any erotic feeling, but it also enhances the charm of women.
Wearing black stockings on her legs and leather shoes on her feet, Miliya was still very confident in her appearance, but Downton did not look at her at all except politely looking directly into her eyes when talking.
"He is a true gentleman!" Miliya was relieved. She knew that her daughter liked Downton, but when she thought of the shameful things she had done to him in the secret realm, she felt ashamed and blamed herself.
But now it seems that he wants to forget those things, which is exactly what she wants.
"If my daughter follows him, she may be able to be happy." Miliya decided that if she really got to that point, she would leave quickly so as not to delay Juliet's happiness.
"What's the matter?" Downton sat behind the desk, flipping through the documents.
"Your declaration of challenging the Duke of the West has spread throughout most of Frankfurt, and everyone who is interested knows it." Abagon put up the report, "So the merchants who sold us supplies have tripled their prices."
"How much is the difference from the budgeted inventory?" Looking at the dense data, Downton casually threw it on the table. He believed in the ability of the goblin butler.
"The reserve of ordinary supplies has been completed, but those prohibited items are a bit troublesome." Abagong has been wary of this day for a long time, so he has made sufficient preparations, but there is no such thing as too much banned items.
.
"Has the price increased?" Downton asked, "Will it affect the repair of steam airships and the reserve of goblin bombs?"
"It's more serious than that. Our current supply lines are Andrea and Hannah. Just this morning, they unilaterally canceled the transaction."
"Haha, it seems they want more than just gold coins!" Downton was not surprised. Arms make money, but they are also a kind of political capital.
"The situation on Hannah's side is unclear at the moment. I guess she will wait until the war becomes clearer before she will come forward. After all, supporting us means turning against Placido." Abagon reported, "Andrea wants to see you and asks for it immediately.
!”
"Let's go and talk as we go!"
Through the teleportation array, Downton appeared in the royal capital. After putting on his cloak, he rushed to the agreed teahouse.
After waiting for less than half an hour, the carriage of the hostess stopped outside.
"I'm talking about Downton, it's not easy to meet you. Are you busier than the king?" Andrea rolled her eyes at Downton. The words were filled with pressure.
"It was my fault."
Downton quickly apologized.
"I am Elaine's mentor, and I care about her as much as you do." The female officiant was angry. She treated these siblings as her successors and direct descendants, but they did not treat them as relatives. Raiders of the West is so
Important things are actually concealed.
"I'm just worried about bringing you trouble." Downton welcomed the hostess into the room and told the waiter, "Serve the best black tea and pastries!"
"Want to fool me with a cake? It's not that cheap."
Although the hostess was accusing him, Downton felt relieved after hearing this. If she really had a grudge, she wouldn't be teasing him like this.
"I will definitely change it next time, and if anything happens I will discuss it with you first." Downton quickly promised.
"You little naughty boy!" Andrea stretched out her finger and poked Downton's forehead, but her face was filled with astonishment. "You've grown a lot taller!"
"Well, I had an adventure in the secret realm!" Downton did not hide anything and reported in detail. In fact, this was also a display. He wanted to prove his worth to the female officiant.
"Stop your petty thoughts. If I don't help you, who will I help?" The female officiant looked at the flame banshee rune between Downton's eyebrows and couldn't help but sigh, "But you are really lucky."
"It's all a fluke."
"You don't have to be modest. In fact, I got a lot of information. I was able to trick Torres twice. Stealing the Flame Banshee and the First Element from him in succession proves that you have completely destroyed him." The female officiant smiled, "You don't
I know that after this news came back to the royal capital, Falfo's face turned green with anger, you really give me a lot of shame!"
Downton nodded. He was introduced by Andrea and has been labeled by her faction for the rest of his life.
"Tell me, what do you want to do? Be the Duke of the West?" The hostess finally started talking about business.
"Yes."
Seeing Downton admitting in a sonorous voice without hesitation, Andrea didn't know how to speak. She hadn't encountered such a strong and confident young man in a long time.
"How sure are you of winning?" the female officiant asked.
"Eighty percent!" Downton knew this was a test, so he introduced it in detail. If he wanted to get the support of the hostess's family, he had to show his strength.
After conquering the Western Territory, he still has many problems to face. How to hold on to the territory is the most important. The other Dukes and even the King of the Three Territories will not give up, so Downton needs someone to mediate, and the female officiant is undoubtedly the best.
candidate.
"No, he's already a young man!" Looking at Downton's handsome face, which looked like that of the sun god Apollo, coupled with his confident attitude when talking, Andrea suddenly became a little distracted. If the person she married was him.
, maybe you won’t run away from your marriage, right?
"Priest? What's wrong?" Downton was confused.
"Ah? It's nothing. You continue." The female officiant blushed. What was she thinking about? She was the brother of her proud apprentice.
After arranging for the Abomination to stand guard, Downton introduced the plan in detail.
"Very good, these words prove that you did not make a decision in a moment of enthusiasm. I will convince the family to support you." Andrea was relieved.
"What about the interrupted contraband trade?"
"Don't worry, there's a 20% discount, and the supply is doubled." Andrea shrugged, "Sorry, the family is not a charity, so I can't give it to you for free."
"Understood!" Tang Zheng knew that these big families were not easy to deal with. If it hadn't been for Andrea, they would have made a fool of themselves.
"By the way, you have a lot of money. Where did it come from?" Andrea asked casually, but couldn't help but blame her, "You came back from the secret realm and didn't come to see me. You actually left the arms matter to me.
You have a green-skinned goblin in charge, so you're not afraid of mistakes?"
"No, Abagong is a talent. He is responsible for my logistics." Downton asked the waiter to leave and made tea for the hostess himself. "As for money, I have an underground city!"
"Pfft!" When Andrea heard the words "dungeon", she spat out a mouthful of tea and looked at Downton in astonishment. (To be continued...)
