Law of the Swarm

Chapter 480 Do you have mines in the Golden Banana Federation?

On July [-]th of the [-]th year of Golden Banana, as a captive, Kauz's naval commander, Rondo, set foot on this completely different continent again after decades.

A few days ago, three legends of the empire were defeated by three extraordinary, two dead and one injured, and more than a dozen extraordinary were killed, and he was the one who survived.

Originally wanted to die in battle with honor, but thinking that his dead body would be driven by the necromancer, Rondo finally gave up on death.

At that time.

He was just very emotional that the Golden Banana Federation had such outstanding geniuses, and dared to let these geniuses take such risks.

He just thought that the Kauz Empire was only temporarily defeated, and the powerful Kauz Empire would still win the final victory.

But when he found the floating ship coming far in the sky, the concept in his heart collapsed.

Five floating ships appeared in the sky, and there were dozens of mana ships that could move forward without relying on sails. Before those ships approached, fierce artillery fire swept in...

Countless steel bombs exploded one after another, making deafening noises. Among the steel bombs, there were also many bucket-thick crimson mana lasers that shot continuously, and hot and scorching waves emerged from the sea surface cut by the lasers. of steam.

Usually only three to four steel bombs are needed, and the empire's ships will be blown up and sunk; and that kind of magic laser, as long as the empire's ships are strafed, they will be cut in half and set on fire.

This is not at all what war is supposed to be like.

It's like an unarmed child facing an adult holding a sharp machete.

Or a rooster with teeth and claws facing a human chef preparing boiling water.

The only advantage of the empire was that the large sea monsters raised by them let out miserable roars before they counterattacked and approached the mana ships, and then turned into corpses floating on the sea.

Rondo just vaguely saw that there seemed to be a red shadow flashing away.

Even though the ships were far apart, Rondo could hear the wailing sound of many Kauz empire's navies, because the artillery fire from the Golden Banana Federation would attack those ships first, so many imperial navies began to abandon their ships and jump into the sea to escape. ...

Then, he was brought to the huge floating ship in the sky.

In this war, the Kawuzi Empire failed without words, and even future wars will not be won.

Rondo remembered the news that the empire spread before the expedition. Are those soldiers who returned to the country and were executed by Emperor Kauz really mentally disturbed by torture?
Why did Vioz, the God of Wealth, involve the Empire in this apparently impossible battle?
There are many stories that have been handed down from the time of the gods in the Kawuzi Empire. The authenticity of the stories can no longer be verified, and the gods in the stories also have various faces.

"The conspiracy of the God of Wealth?"

Rondo secretly made a voice in his heart. Although the empire secretly guarded against the gods, it seemed that they were still deceived by the gods.

……

Shaking his head slightly, Rondo walked off the floating ship with a little difficulty, and set foot on the federal port city in the wind and rain—a city completely different from his impression.

Because of a special curse, Rondo's body was unable to accumulate strength, so he was very weak.

It was raining heavily in the Golden Banana Federation, and it was midnight, so it should have been dark here, but the Golden Banana Federation was brightly lit.

Rondo saw many bright lights of various colors, as well as many beautifully shaped crystal statues, which also radiated colorful light.

"Are these mana artifacts built to worship the gods?" Although he was silent all the way, seeing the strange sights of the city, Rondo still asked the extraordinary humans who captured him.

After being a captive for the past few days, Rondo already knew that the so-called Golden Banana Federation had only been established for less than ten years, and believed in a god named Mana.

It is precisely because of Mana's continuous miracles that endow the people of the Federation with an ability called [Data Template] that the Golden Banana Federation has become so powerful.

There was a puzzled expression on Simon's face, as if he was thinking.

There are many magic lamps in the federation, and they are also very common. He is used to all of them.

After all, Simon is only 13 years old, and he doesn't know much about the living standards of the Federation in the past. His parents have said some things about the past, but he has never had any actual impressions.

In Simon's view, using magic lamps at night is very common.

Simon only vaguely remembered that the seemingly expensive magic lamps used in the city at first were replaced by relatively cheap magic lamps that could absorb magic essence and emit light at regular intervals.

Simon looked at the captive Rondo and asked suspiciously: "Are you talking about those magic lamps that emit glare? It should have nothing to do with the gods, it's just because it looks good, it's twinkling, it's pretty."

"Good looking? Why?"

Rondo looked at the magic mask above his head. This mask was issued by a stick-shaped magic tool, which perfectly blocked the rain, but all it could do was block the rain.

He couldn't figure out why the Golden Banana Federation produced these expensive and useless things.

In Rondo's sight, the torrential rain poured down, and steel mechanical vehicles with four wheels appeared from time to time on the flat and wide black road, passing quickly in the city. Some pedestrians on the road were holding umbrellas made of special materials, but There are also many pedestrians who use this kind of magic energy rainproof device to block rainwater in all directions.

"What and why?" Simon asked back, while watching the information on MZ, waiting for the federal response personnel, and then he, Dorn, and Edgar will escort the prisoner to the Golden Banana City through the teleportation array. Meet the Archbishop of the Golden Banana.

Rondo's face was numb due to surprise, and he said, "Why, why is the Golden Banana Federation so rich? Leaving aside these mechanical vehicles, these magic lamps are expensive, and there are only magic lamps. Apprentices can drive these things, why do you abuse these things just because they are beautiful, does the Golden Banana Federation have a huge gold mine, which can continuously produce gold and wealth every day?"

"Gold mine? Maybe there is..." Simon showed a puzzled look, and at the same time looked at the bald man next to him.

Bald Dorne used to be a traveling merchant, so he probably knew better.

Don glanced at Simon, and then looked at the captured Rondo: "I also just returned to the Federation recently, and I don't know much about the situation here, but if you say it this way, the Federation may really have a huge gold mine, otherwise There's no way there's money to build these things."

During the conversation between the two, Edgar the Skeleton came over and said in a voice: "I know this question. Master M just told me that the Federation has three gold mines in Warren Plain that are being mined."

In this way, after Edgar's real hammer, several people have confirmed the fact that the Federation owns gold mines.

However, Edgar obviously did not mention the daily production of 100g, 180g, and 50g of the three "giant" gold mines...

And this also worried the young Simon.

Compared with the bald man who likes to complain, the silly skeleton Edgar, although the 13-year-old Simon is young, he is also more far-sighted——

No matter how big the gold mine is, there will be a day when it will be mined. At that time, will the Federation still be as prosperous as it is now?
