Episode 12 The Mystery of the Dwarves Section 5 The Veteran's Gift 4
"Not only that, the wealth of Yasi merchants has made the six countries jealous. Some kingdoms have ignored the ancient practice of free trade on the mainland and began to restrict the entry of us Yasi merchants. We can only trade goods with our own merchants at the border.
This has greatly affected the interests of our businessmen."
"This, I also heard from Sudi. Kingdoms with a looser control only prevent many special commodities from entering. The rest can be entered after paying a certain amount of money. And some, especially the hateful Kula
The Sony Kingdom considers itself to be the farthest away from us, so it simply refuses to allow our merchants to enter." Corey huffed and whipped the water with a branch.
Ammu did not stop Kerui's behavior that was beneath his status. In his opinion, Kerui was still a big kid. As a high-ranking aristocrat and a powerful figure in the kingdom, his status was too depressing.
"We refuse entry to merchants from six countries." Corey shouted angrily.
Ammu laughed heartily and laughed heartily: "The merchants from the six countries brought either food or ore. If these things are blocked, it will be more harmful to us."
Corey opened his mouth wide and whipped the water surface with the branch in his hand to vent his dissatisfaction.
Seeing Corey like this, Ammu said with a smile: "I'll tell you some good news. Qiqika has sold all the things you want to sell. Many legions don't have a complete set of equipment for each person. Fortunately, you
I came back in time and brought back the dwarven arsenal. I selected six legion equipments for the soldiers, and distributed them all to the officers for the better ones."
"Then how many coins were exchanged?" Corey didn't care about changing clothes, he only cared about the coins.
Regarding Corey's reaction, Ammu was not surprised at all: "I don't know the number because there are not enough manpower to count it. I just know that the treasury in the imperial capital cannot hold it at all. The lake in the palace is filled with magic crystal coins.
, if you look at it from the water, the lake is shining with purple light.”
That lake, Corey began to recall how big and deep the lake in the palace was. The more he thought about it, the happier he felt. There were so many of them.
"Let's go and go back to Thunder Eagle City to rest for a night. There will be an auction tomorrow, and the dwarves gave me a list, saying that adding these things will make a very good weapon. But their dwarf continent is
Very rare.”
Ammu took the list and glanced at it. Every special name and quantity on it was marked with dwarf and human characters.
"Corui, what I mean is, it's not just these. Prepare a copy of every type of ore in the continent for the dwarves. Don't worry about the quantity of the things on this list. Get as many as you can."
Hearing what Ammu said, Corey laughed without being polite at all: "Look, I used to be said to be greedy for money, but now you understand that coins are easy to use. If we didn't have so many coins now, we wouldn't be able to use them at all."
There's no way to get these things."
Ammu shook his head helplessly. What he was thinking about was how to find an opportunity to show the strength of Yasi's army again and calm down the Six Nations who were ready to move. Currently, half of Yasi's troops are training for future naval battles, and
Some have been sent to the dwarf continent, and more troops may be sent in the future. If the six countries jointly attack Yasi again at this time, even if the dwarves are equipped with very good weapons, it will be a very difficult battle.
Leaving these senior officers behind, Corey and Ammu got into the carriage and prepared to return to Thunder Eagle City.
"Let's start a war, just beat them." Corey bit the fruit and suddenly came up with an idea.
Facing Corey, Ammu sometimes really didn't know what to do. He reached out and took off the fruit that Corey was biting on his mouth and put it on the plate, then said: "What about the contract? It was signed with the Six Nations a few years ago.
What to do with the peace agreement that was agreed upon, and give the six countries an excuse for Yasi to violate the peace agreement?"
"I didn't say we were involved in the war." Corey picked up the half-eaten fruit from the plate, jumped to the other side of the carriage to avoid Ammu, and then continued: "Didn't it always happen between the six countries before?
There's a war going on, they can keep fighting."
"How do I say hello to you? This kind of thing has been mentioned countless times in the meeting." Ammu said and picked up a piece of fruit on the plate and took a big bite.
Corey looked like a mess, stretched out on the seat of the carriage, and rolled his eyes: "Every court meeting is very boring, I want to sleep. So I never pay attention to it, but I do know that they are afraid of me,
That’s why we won’t fight each other.”
It seems that Corey is not confused, Ammu thought in his mind.
"I heard that the little princess of the Curasoni Kingdom turned sixteen this year. Our poor Emperor's only princess died. Shouldn't we find another one for our Emperor?" Corey said with a bad smile.
As he spoke, he bit the fruit in his hand until only a bare core was left, and kept flicking it into the air with his fingers.
Ammu secretly laughed in his heart. Kerui had a lot of bad ideas in his mind, but when he thought that since it was a marriage, the princess of the other party would become a victim of politics. Thinking of this, Ammu waved his hand and used his breath to launch Kerui into the air.
The core of the fruit flew out of the window, and he looked at Corey with a serious face: "Can you bear to let the little princess of the Curasoni Kingdom become a victim of politics?"
"Why can't you bear it? The princess is giving birth to a royal family just to be a victim of politics." Corey jumped up and stared at Ammu, refusing to give in: "Besides, Warner is not good at all. She will be happy if she marries Warner.
, it’s used as a political bargain anyway.”
Corey was really a little anxious and even dared to call out the emperor's name. But thinking about it carefully, Corey's words were not wrong at all. Speaking of Princess Watts, the daughter who gave the late emperor a headache but loved him very much, at that time
Marrying Corey has the purpose of making Corey more loyal to the royal family.
From another perspective, if Corey doesn't know Watts, Watts is very likely to marry Corey. This is politics, and Watts herself understands in her heart that this is what a royal woman should do.
Duty, fortunately, while fulfilling this duty, I married the person I like.
The carriage fell silent. This was the first time that Corey yelled at Ammu.
The driver driving the carriage slowed down and became more steady, while the cavalrymen guarding the carriage inadvertently moved farther away from the carriage.
Inside the carriage were the two people with the most military power in the Yasi Kingdom. It could also be said that they were the two people with the greatest power and prestige in Yasi. The guards tactfully avoided the issues discussed between the two. They knew that it was not something they should hear.
Yes, even if Corey called His Majesty the Emperor by his name just now, they had forgotten it.
"You didn't come up with this idea. I know you. You can't come up with any idea to take advantage of women." After a long time, Amu said softly.
"It's Fiatni. This bastard spent the whole night convincing me, and I've been convinced. His next plan is to let the Kingdom of Curacao open its borders, let us transport all the goods in and sell them, and then send them to Curaconi
We allocated a large number of equipment to the main army in the kingdom, at least letting them pretend to be a reorganized division. Then we picked the Curasoni Kingdom to have a border conflict with their neighbors, and just sent this army to fight." Corey fumed angrily.
He said, and the words he yelled at Ammu just now were the words Fiatni used to persuade him.
Ammu was stunned. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying this plan became.
"Come on, hurry up to Thunder Eagle City and report to His Majesty that Marshal Corey and I have important military affairs and require an encrypted meeting at the level of the chief officers of the Six Nations, and we will hold it open as soon as we return." Ammu finished.
