In the Blackstone Hall, the Nuer City Council is still going on.
"My Baroness, about one-fifth to one-quarter of the great nobles are already packing their bags, selling off their real estate, and preparing to evacuate to Brunswick." Noor City Defense General Drake said with great dissatisfaction:
"What a bunch of cowards. Several nobles have already escaped."
"It's a good time to escape." There was a flash of fire in Emilia's eyes: "We can confiscate all their land, estates and titles. Since we have not shared the difficulties with Nuer at this critical moment, we don't want to continue to be a noble.
!”
"But... My Baroness, these fleeing nobles have put their mansions in Nuer and land ownership outside Nuer up for sale to other nobles." Drake said angrily: "They have obviously considered
To this."
"... He ran very fast." Emilia sneered and nodded: "At least, there are more nobles left than I thought. Obviously, everyone is still willing to fight for Nuer."
"We are all the sons of Charlemagne, we are all Nuer people, we are the descendants of the military nobles canonized by His Majesty Ludwig. We have been taught how to ride horses since we were young, and how to use swords and shields to protect this city and this country."
Marshal Noor said loudly.
The nobles in the entire Black Stone Hall responded with a roar. These military nobles are proud of themselves as Nuer people. The strength they have gathered here is gratifying. At least Emilia knows that no matter whether these great nobles are addicted or not,
Palace politics or endless bickering and desire for more power, but at least they all received excellent military training.
It would be better if Ryan could stand among them. The Imperial Baroness thought more than once that if her man could kneel in front of her as her vassal and listen to her orders...
But that was the privilege of the Lake Fairy. Emilia shook her head and shook this thought out of her mind. In her mind, Ryan had only knelt before the Lake Fairy, and the proud expression on the goddess's face was something she had seen more than once.
Pass.
"Tell me, my chief engineer, can those steam tanks and land speeders be used in this war?" Emilia turned to the chief engineer Gaunt Maybach and asked.
"This... my Baroness, the land-speed ship has not yet been tested in real combat." The chief engineer was a little unconfident.
"I'm asking you a question, Maybach, tell me, can these war machines be put into use?!" Emilia repeated coldly.
"Of course! As long as you need it, my Baroness!" The chief engineer shuddered. He immediately realized what a stupid mistake he had made. When he answered for the second time, Maybach's voice gradually became sonorous and powerful:
"Ready to fight at any time!"
"Very good." Emilia's pure voice echoed throughout the hall: "Then, there are two things we have to do now."
"First, we must send additional troops to defend the Black Fire Pass to ensure that Tamu Khan and his army cannot easily cross the Black Mountains."
"Second, we must strengthen Nuer's defense and mobilize all Nuer's troops. Everyone, I think it is a foolish decision to place hope on Emperor Karl-Franz and his army. Nuer can only rely on
Own."
"Agree!" Emilia's words resonated with everyone. The Baroness's words contained infinite power, which was the foundation for the empire to stand firm for two thousand years.
"As for Ryan Macado, I will try my best to get him to join this war." Emilia then calmly said her decision, which was exciting: "But it is not mine alone.
Noor for all, tell us, my fellow city council members, what can you do for this city?"
Everyone's attention then focused on the Nuer nobles and representatives of the Nuer arsenal.
The chief engineer stood up and said: "We can give you a 20% discount on all orders placed by Lord Lane this time. My Baroness, we will also give you an additional hundred precision muskets and ten eight-shot revolving guns."
All the Nur nobles in the Blackstone Council also stood up. At this time, they had no way out. The Earl of Earhart family was the first to say: "Trade charter and five military instructors! The Earhart family
I swear to live and die with Noor!"
"Three shops and one route! The Odenhal family swears to live and die with Nuer!" This is the family of Earl Odenhal.
"We can give you a complete set of obsidian armor, which is the treasure of our Baker family! We swear to live and die with Nur!" Baron Baker said loudly.
"Ten finely crafted long swords, ten pairs of finely crafted armors, and a rune sword!" Viscount Zester also stood up: "The Zester family swears to live and die with Nuer!"
The entire Blackstone Hall was filled with the voices of Nuer nobles. These nobles offered generous terms and promised that they would definitely help Britannian students in the future and protect Ryan's interests in Nuer.
.
No one is kidding, this is the price for asking a strong man from the Sanctuary to take action.
Emilia was happy in her heart, but her face remained calm. She nodded lightly: "If this is good, then...Krupp? Where is your family?"
There is an old gentleman sitting in the corner of the Blackstone Hall. His name is Old Alfred Krupp. The Krupp Steel Guild he runs is the largest arms supplier in Nuer. At the same time, he also through his son Xiao
Alfred Krupp operates the old-world famous brand "Krupp Boutique", which mainly deals in high-end tableware, glass products, gemstones, dwarf precision products and is responsible for hosting large banquets in Braunschweig and Nuer.
It is a well-known arms brand and luxury brand in the old world.
As the president of the Nuer Merchants Union, Old Krupp hesitated for a long time. He had to stand up, bowed and replied: "My Baroness, although I, Krupp, am a businessman, I will never run away from me.
We, the Krupp family, will also live and die with Nuer!"
"Very good." Emilia smiled slightly: "I thought Mr. Krupp planned to escape to Brunswick like others? If so, we would be enemies!"
"...Don't dare." There was sweat on Old Krupp's face. In fact, this big businessman did have the idea of greasing the soles of his feet, if it weren't for the fact that almost all of his business was in Nuer, and even though his private property
Under the protection of the church, there is an exception, and that is when it is involved with evil, especially chaos. The church can ask the gods for instructions and then directly tear up the just treaty and confiscate all property unconditionally, and this situation will not receive any sympathy.
.
Thinking of this, Old Krupp bowed again: "Don't worry, Baroness! Even if we bet on the Krupp brand, we, father and son, will definitely follow the Baroness and fight to the end!"
"Well, I have a suggestion, Sir Krupp." Emilia picked up the small hammer in front of her and gently knocked on the table in front of her: "Nur wants to fight against this tide of chaos, and no one can stay out of it.
,In this way, all major families contribute their efforts, but we still have many
There is a large funding gap. Mobilization costs money, training the army costs money, large-scale production costs money, and hiring knight reinforcements from Lane and Britannia also costs money. If all Nuer’s armies and knight reinforcements are to be mobilized on a large scale, military expenses will be incurred.
Sir Krupp, how much would it cost?"
"This..." Old Krupp thought for a moment and hesitated: "At least... one hundred thousand gold marks would be enough to look good, but this money..."
Emilia smiled and said nothing.
Old Krupp immediately understood the meaning of the Baroness as soon as he changed his mind. He bowed again: "This money should naturally be divided among the Nuer Merchant Alliance. I, Sir Alfred Krupp, as the president, agree that
Donate... twenty thousand, no, twenty-five thousand gold marks!"
"Very well, Sir Krupp. On behalf of the Nuer City Council and all the citizens of Nuer, I would like to thank you for your efforts." Emilia said slowly: "In this case, the total military expenditure this time will be set at twelve
Ten thousand gold marks is enough. I know that the merchants in Nuer have a strong foundation. How many big businessmen spend a lot of money in concert halls, noble pubs and clubs, but usually come to see me wearing burlap clothes? Is 120,000 gold marks a lot?
, it’s enough for everyone to come together.”
"If they just hold on to the idea of not giving out any money, then in the future...will these businessmen still have the nerve to continue doing business in Nuer!!!" Emilia's voice finally became high-pitched and thin.
Old Krupp felt a chill in his heart and nodded quickly: "That's natural, my Baroness, please don't worry."
"Very good. Also, remember to buy a heavy gift for me." Amelia finally nodded with satisfaction: "Don't give it to Ryan directly, he won't accept it. Remember to give it to Sister Lidya Su."
"Yes, yes, there is no need for the Baroness to give it, it should be, it should be." Old Krupp nodded repeatedly: "This gift should be regarded as a gift from our Nuer Merchant Alliance, and there is no need for the Baroness to pay for it."
"Then let's just do our own thing!" Emilia stood up. She was tired after having a long meeting.
"yes!"
…………I am the dividing line for killing big households…………
There was a war meeting in the city council, and the situation was extremely tense. In another corner of the Elector's Palace, in the center of the whirlpool, Ryan was sparring with his wife, Sulia. As her husband, Ryan was carefully feeding Sulia.
Move, guide her martial arts bit by bit, let Sulia combine what she has learned, the high elf swordsmanship taught by the fairy in the lake and the swordsmanship from the emperor.
With a thorough understanding of the knowledge bestowed by the Emperor, the female knight wore exquisite vibranium plate armor blessed by the Emperor, held the sword of Lyonnais in her hand, wore a complete set of God-given jewelry, and wore the cloak of the White Wolf God behind her back. She suddenly
Rushing forward, he directly struck twice with the Thor's Hammer in Ryan's hand, and the sword of Lyonnais directly attacked Ryan's wrist and armpit at a tricky angle.
"Ding~dang~" Ryan easily turned Thor's hammer to block Sulia's attack. He raised the tip of the hammer from bottom to top and forced Sulia back with one move. He said with a smile: "My wife
, your progress in the past two years is not obvious enough."
"It's not because she gave birth to Devon Hill!" The female knight was a little embarrassed when she talked about this. Due to her pregnancy, she had not practiced swordsmanship and advanced for a long time, and her strength had been at the beginning of the legendary level for a long time.
, in the past few months, Ryan has spent a lot of time carefully guiding Sulia. The female knight, who is already extremely talented, has taken the opportunity to take a further step and just advanced to the legendary intermediate level.
But even so, the female knight still found in despair that she was still far behind her husband in terms of strength. The high elf swordsmanship was already outstanding in the old world, but she still couldn't compete with Ryan. She was always easily defeated by Ryan.
Then I would often take the opportunity to get fucked and hugged and make out with her.
"Forget it, let's stop here today." Sulia noticed that Orica was standing at the door of the courtyard. Apparently the dark elf had something important to report. The female knight's dazzling golden long curly hair swept through the air like a waterfall: "
Is it Oliver here?"
"Probably." Ryan also put away Mjolnir. He didn't even break a sweat.
"Why did you ask Oliver to acquire so much land and mansions?" Sulia took the towel and gently wiped the sweat. The female knight said with some annoyance: "I know that the land prices in Nuer have plummeted recently, but we won't
If you live in Nuer for a long time, it’s useless to buy so much real estate, don’t you already have a street?”
"It's nothing more than some old routines." Ryan still kept smiling, and he took off Sulia's armor: "Making money is the fastest in real estate transactions, and Amelia will cooperate with me."
"My madam, just wait and count the money." After saying that, Ryan kissed his wife on the lips.
Before he finished speaking, a dazzling emerald green light suddenly erupted in the courtyard.
A beautiful figure wearing a high elf ice diamond crystal silk dress, inlaid with a large number of gold and silver threads and gems, appeared in the courtyard, and the entire courtyard was suddenly filled with the fragrance of iris.
"The fastest way to make money? My champion~How much do you plan to share with me?"
