War? Meng Han has been in this world for so long and has never experienced a war. In recent years, it has always been calm. There are no major discords between the principalities. Some small frictions are inevitable, but
It has not reached the point of starting a war.
Hearing what Grace said, Meng Han suddenly felt a layer of expectation in his heart. It seemed that he was also looking forward to seeing the war in this world and the large-scale application of magic in war. Realizing this
After a while, Meng Han suddenly felt that he should not have such thoughts. It seemed that such thoughts made him too unpeaceful.
"What's the reason? Do you know who the enemy is?" Curious, Meng Han still needs to understand clearly. Although he is curious about the war, Meng Han knows that once the war starts, business will be hit. Huangsha City is now purely relying on
As someone who started in business, Grace just said that the gold coins were not enough, so of course Meng Han had to understand clearly.
"The specific reason is not clear yet. Maybe Mr. Jensen will know more." Alice only received the news, but war is something like this, and Alice cannot fully understand it before reporting it to Meng Han, so she took the first step to remind him.
When Alice went to find Mr. Jason, Meng Han began to think about what impact this sudden war would have on himself and Huangsha City. Seeing Meng Han thinking about Grace and Qiao who stayed here,
No one in Yilili spoke, they all sat quietly for fear of disturbing Meng Han.
Once the war starts, at least the business on the normal trade routes will be greatly affected. Even if some businesses within the principality will not be too suppressed, the lords everywhere will probably focus on this war instead of
There will be too much emphasis on the demand for luxury goods. It is impossible to say that the silk business will have to follow the old road of desert trafficking. As for other things, it will definitely be greatly affected.
Isn't it said that when the cannon is fired, there will be thousands of gold? How can it become like this if it is placed on my side? Do you have to do the arms business to make money? As soon as this thought appeared, Meng Han suddenly felt that there was something in his heart.
A strong desire burst out. Perhaps, being an arms dealer is also a good choice. Now that armored vehicles have been successfully tested, and with spider silk body armor, metal crossbows are no longer particularly important. Can they be used in war?
How about making a successful appearance and then getting orders?
This idea just flashed through Meng Han's mind and he never told anyone. While Meng Han was thinking about it, Mr. Johnson also rushed to Meng Han's office.
"Sir, we have just received the latest news. The principality's war mobilization order will arrive within three days, and you are ordered to rush to the front line within ten days." Mr. Johnson said as soon as he entered the door.
These words.
"Get to the front line within ten days?" Meng Han couldn't help but frown. If we get to the Stone Castle from here, it will take about ten days at a fast pace. We don't know where the front line is, plus the time it takes for the mobilization order to arrive.
, isn’t this deliberately trying to embarrass people?
"The commander-in-chief of this principality's war is His Highness." Mr. Jensen inquired about a lot of information, and this was just one of them. After hearing the news, Meng Han immediately understood why there was such a ridiculous order. This was originally
It is His Highness who is endangering himself.
Seeing Meng Han's indifferent expression, Mr. Johnson seemed to be more anxious than Meng Han, and hurriedly reminded: "Sir, if you fail to arrive after receiving the order, His Highness has the right to use military law to deal with you!
"
Even before the war started, he was already thinking about dealing with his own people. In Meng Han's view, the Grand Duke had reached the extreme level of insanity. The presence or absence of him in the principality no longer meant much to him. Anyway, he was on the side of the Marquis.
Those on your Excellency's side will eventually become enemies of His Majesty the Grand Duke, and it makes no difference whether it is sooner or later.
"Speaking of which, this war is still related to you, sir." Mr. Jensen knew what Meng Han wanted to know, and immediately began to tell the ins and outs of the war without waiting for Meng Han to ask questions.
Some time ago, Prince Woods and his family in the kingdom were suddenly slaughtered by elf masters who appeared from nowhere, and several big nobles in the country were also looted. Of course, the elves were not hiding their heads and tail, and they gave a blatant warning to everyone who saw them at that time.
The witnesses who arrived, including Prince Woods, were all related to the trade of elf slaves. This was not the first time that the elves had done this, and everyone knew it by heart. However, in the capital of the kingdom, in full view of the elves,
Doing this does not seem to give the King much face.
However, His Majesty the King had no choice. Compared with the powerful elves now, he did not have the strength to fight against them. He could only watch angrily as the elves completed their revenge and left the capital in a mess that shocked everyone.
Things in the capital also affected the surrounding principalities. When His Majesty the King's prestige was further suppressed, some hard-line elements in each principality began to make moves.
Recently, due to Meng Han, the income of the entire Principality of Trans has increased significantly due to the silk business and the trading of various luxury goods. Although Meng Han's taxes are not turned over to the national treasury, it does not mean that other taxes
Those businessmen can do whatever they want like Meng Han. At least when they leave the Principality of Trans, there will be a high export tax.
Under the circumstances, a large amount of gold coins flowed to the Principality of Trans. Although most of them were in the hands of Meng Han and various merchants, and most of the gold coins were stranded in Huangsha City, everyone had to admit that
, the Principality of Trans is now becoming more and more prosperous. His Majesty the King has declined, and His Majesty the Grand Duke of the Principality of Trans has gradually lost his previous authority. Naturally, the greedy eyes of several surrounding principalities are closely following
The Principality of Trans.
The war broke out, and the five principalities united to launch a war against the Principality of Trans. In a hasty response, the Principality of Trans conquered several castles in just ten days, and the property in the castles was looted.
.
Everyone understands the cause and purpose of this war, and no one is surprised. However, this is not a good thing for the Principality of Trans. Although the Marquis is still fighting openly and secretly with His Majesty the Grand Duke, on such a big matter,
, it is still unified for foreign affairs. Therefore, a large army was raised, commanded by His Highness, to unite to resist the invasion of other principalities.
"Joy, Julie, get ready, you don't have much rest time." After listening to Mr. Johnson's words and understanding the whole cause and effect, Meng Han had to tell Joey and Julie. Since the other party wanted to recruit him into the army,
He also had to bring his own bodyguard to join the army. But after all the hard work, Joey Julie and the soldiers of the bodyguard had to continue marching as soon as they came back.
Neither of the two women were surprised by Meng Han's order. They just agreed loudly and went out to make arrangements. This time the Guards had been out for several months, and their body armor and outer armor needed to be repaired and magic added.
It would also take some time to replenish the scrolls and adjust the metal crossbow. Since time was tight, they could only supervise it in person.
Each of the guards had one fourth-level scroll. In this revenge operation, they did not use many of them. Except for using them when facing several magisters, at other times, most of them used force to resist. This made Meng Han
I feel relieved that at least there are more than a hundred magic scrolls with power reaching level seven, so I won't be afraid even in a war.
Since His Highness wants to use this war mobilization order to find ways to make things difficult for him, Meng Han will not let him get his wish. He sets off in advance. After the armored vehicle activates the floating technique, a horse can pull it and run away. The other personal guards are all one person and two persons.
If the horse can reach the end of the field, it will never be a problem.
Grace and Alice did not ask to go with them this time. They knew that they had little strength and could not help Meng Han on the battlefield, so they stayed willingly to protect their home for Meng Han. On the contrary, Demi and Diana,
He shouted that he must go. Anyway, the two of them are also magicians, and the training during this period of time was very effective. Meng Han didn't mind taking the two girls with him, but he also told them that no matter what time, they must stand by themselves.
It is convenient for him to take care of you at any time.
With Demi here, at least Meng Han's fireball scroll can be replenished at any time. Presumably, in the war between several principalities, magicians such as Dharma Saints will not be used for the time being. With Meng Han's current level, it is more than enough.
Sisters Princess Jessica and Louisa, faced with such a situation, had no choice but to stay. They were elves and could not participate in human wars. Otherwise, they would be mistaken by humans for thinking that the elves would interfere with the human race.
If there's a war, that's not a good thing.
"Mr. Johnson, will the Marquis join the war?" This was Meng Han's last question before setting off.
"Of course, sir! The Marquis is the deputy commander-in-chief!" Mr. Johnson's intelligence work this time was very good. This information had already been transmitted to the underground guild branch through special methods, and Meng Han also knew it in time.
"Very good!" After knowing this, Meng Han felt even more relieved. With the Marquis here, he would never just watch His Highness do what he did. Even in the army, with the support of the Marquis, Meng Han could do it
There is no need to think too much about the pressure from His Majesty the Grand Duke.
"Let's go!" There were not many heroic words or words of encouragement. Meng Han just gave the order, and the guards set off quickly. Anyway, for the local nobles, the city guards are basically super-staffed.
You can only participate in this kind of war with your own private army with sufficient authority.
I don’t know what the scale of this war will be, one hundred thousand or one million. However, one thing Meng Han can firmly believe is that Huangsha City’s naive weapons and armor will be greatly used in the upcoming war.
At the same time, this also means that Meng Han will receive a large number of arms orders after the war, thus transforming into an arms dealer.
