"Haha, don't be so angry, my count. I invited you here this time to ask you to help me." Salah took out a bottle of high-end wine from his side and served it to Count Heather himself.
"Sorry, I'm not in the mood to discuss this right now." Although Earl Heather was afraid that Salah would lose his title, Salah would definitely pay a certain price.
Earl Heather's family is a hereditary family, and it has some weight in the second fortress. Salah will definitely knock out two teeth if he eats himself.
"I know that you resent me because of your daughter, but I have a way to save her."
Chapter 140 Seven: To God, Repent!
Earl Heather's heart was moved by Salah's words.
"Are you planning to dispatch some air knights to help me?" Earl Heather asked eagerly.
"No, the Sky Knights can't move them yet, I don't have the authority to command this army."
"Then what can we do? Do we rely on those trash from the Self-Defense Force in the city?" Count Heather Flower was disappointed.
The armed forces in the second fortress are mainly composed of air knights, plus a mixed armed force composed of self-defense forces.
But everyone in the second fortress knows that there is no way to compare the combat effectiveness of the Self-Defense Forces and the Aerial Knights.
This has something to do with the center of gravity of the Fierlire family. Although the second fortress is a super-large city, it is still a very difficult problem to support more than 2 sky knights.
Even if the sky knight took off the wind steel armor, his soldiers are of high quality, each of them is a high-level archer ranger, and the basic skill is to penetrate Yang with a hundred steps.
The best among the sky knights can even calculate the shooting angle of the arrow so that it will turn after hitting an object, which is a perfect score for geometry.
Such rangers naturally cost a lot of money to recruit. The entire Air Knight Legion costs millions of gold coins every year just for military pay.
Not to mention the maintenance of weapons and equipment and other miscellaneous expenses such as food expenses.
It can be said that this is a very serious burden. Since this is the case, the Feierlire family will naturally find ways to save money in other areas.
As a result, another army self-defense force in the second fortress was plucked, and the military expenditure was greatly reduced. Naturally, low prices could not recruit high-quality soldiers.
The overall combat effectiveness of the Self-Defense Forces is like a plate of loose sand, and the soldiers are like street gangsters. Most of their weapons are their own, and there are all kinds of mess.
It's no wonder that such an army can have combat effectiveness. At most, it can play a role in maintaining stability in daily life.
It's no wonder Earl Heather was disappointed. Sending such an army there might not have waited to reach the barbarian village hundreds of miles away.
They have become deserters themselves, and it is better to count on the gods to show their spirits than to count on them.
"Of course not my count. You should know that I have a super-large city that is not inferior to the second fortress."
Salah's words reminded Earl Heather that Salah was a powerful nobleman with a fief, not like other nobles who spoke fiercely, but were actually just putting on airs.
Salah, who has a super-large city, although he does not have the powerful air knight army as the second fortress, but Salah also has his own unusually powerful army.
"Are you going to let your shadow guards come to help me?" Earl Heather trembled. What are the shadow guards?It is an army whose individual combat capability is not weaker than that of the Sky Knights.
This is an assassination team that Salah spent a lot of money to assemble, and every member of the Shadow Guard is a top assassin master.
They can jump over high walls, blend into the crowd, and can accurately find a pile of straw from a high place and jump onto it without being hurt. Most importantly, their camouflage ability is also top-notch.
They are ordinary strangers among the crowd, and a bunch of harmless weeds among the wilderness.
Everyone is proficient in various assassination methods and hidden weapons, and is a well-deserved walking god of death.
If it weren't for the fact that their numbers were too small, the entire Shadow Guard had less than 30 people, or they would have replaced the second fortress, the Sky Knights, long ago.
"That's right, I've actually sent them to the small town of Rose, and it's estimated that they will arrive tonight." Salah said with a smile.
"Thank you so much. If you need me for anything, please do not hesitate to ask." Earl Heather said gratefully.
He understood that Salah's help for no reason must not be because he suddenly wanted to do good things, and there must be something in it that needs his own place.
"It's not urgent, let's talk slowly." Salah poured a glass of wine for Earl Heather, and then said leisurely.
"Actually, I hope that the sugar in the Second Fortress can be purchased from me..."
"This..." Earl Heather was surprised, Salah's appetite was not ordinary.
The second fortress is one of the seven largest cities in the north.The population is close to 500 million, and there are many families who can afford sugar.
There must be a number of one hundred thousand, and sugar does not just refer to sugar, as long as it has a sweet taste and can be used to make desserts, it is called sugar.
In terms of sugar consumption, there is no need for salt difference at all. Salt relies on a large base, small profits but quick turnover.
And sugar is a real luxury, a high-profit enjoyment.
The Earl of Heather Flower couldn't be more clear about the profits of sugar. His family alone spends nearly a thousand gold coins on sugar a year.
Counting 300 families, the average is one hundred gold coins per household, which is as much as tens of millions of gold coins a year.The profit can reach at least [-] million.
This has been able to feed half of the Air Knight Legion.
Earl Heather was a little hesitant. If he imported sugar from Salah, what would be the profit?
"Master Duke, I think you also know that this candy is not managed by our family..." Earl Heather thought for a while and decided it was better to refuse.
Because it is not clear whether the profit of importing sugar from Salah is lower or higher than before. If it is higher, then it is very good and everyone is happy.
But if it is low, even if it is one level lower, the Heather family will fall into economic crisis.Be aware that not all profits from sugar are your own.
This is a big cake. If you want to eat it, you must cooperate with others. You have to spend money to settle the logistics, checkpoints, and even the right to sell.
The heather family can only leave a little more than two floors of profits each year, and nearly three floors need to be handed over to the Feierlire family.
The remaining four to five floors of profits are to be shared with many families involved in this business, which is why the Heather family has been able to manage the sugar industry for so long.
Because many people are tied to this benefit car.
But this big cake is not only allocated by the Heather family, there is also another family competing with the Heather family.
It is the Gardenia family, and the hereditary title is the Earl of Gardenia, which is the same as the Earl of Heather. It was the Earl of Gardenia who mocked the Earl of Heather before.
The Gardenia family and the Heather family jointly control the sugar business.
"If the Heather family finds it difficult, I will choose the Gardenia family, but I don't guarantee that the Gardenia family will control the entire sugar industry."
Salah This is already a naked threat, and Earl Heather's forehead is covered with sweat.He forgot about Salah's influence.
With the cooperation of the Gardenia family, it would be a breeze to overthrow the Heather family.
Of course, the reverse is also true.Is Salah implying that if he cooperates with him, he can control the entire sugar industry?
If it is true, then this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you can control the entire sugar industry, then the profit will definitely not be as simple as one plus one.
After eliminating some unnecessary links, the income will at least be multiplied several times!
"Gulu~" Earl Heather asked cautiously, "If I am willing to cooperate with you, will you help our Heather family?"
Salah laughed, and put his arm around Earl Heather's shoulder: "As long as we are friends, then I will definitely help you."
"Well, our Heather family is willing to make a fortune with you." Earl Heather raised his glass and enthusiastically communicated with Salah.
On the way to Rose Town, a group of small mercenary regiments were heading in the heavy snow. From all aspects, they were no different from ordinary mercenaries.
A tattered armor, messy clothes and weapons, and a few monsters used to pull carts.
However, in fact, they are Salah's 30-member Shadow Guard. They think that the best costume is to act in their true colors, and the murderous spirit in their bones cannot be removed.
Then it would be better to be more realistic and turn their weaknesses into strengths, so they dressed up as mercenaries, perfectly concealing the characteristic of murderous intent.
"We're almost there, and the town of Rose is ahead." The leader looked like a rough man, but at this moment he used a female voice again.
"Ha! Pay attention to your current identity!" A man with a big belly reprimanded him seriously.
"But Naga, don't you use a female voice now?" Hana retorted unconvinced.
"Stop talking too much, we're about to start action, first find out the opponent's base, we must find this man named Yi Cheng and this woman named Jasmine."
Nagana immediately changed back to a thick male voice, and then ordered to everyone behind her.
The men and horses of the Shadow Guard steadily moved towards the small town of Ross.
Less than 1000 meters in front of the Shadow Guard, there is also a group of people. Although it is winter, most of them only wear black or white clothes.
The leader is a woman in full body armor, yes, she is Galantis, and all her subordinates are elite clergymen of the Church of Light.
Galantis is now very worried. She has obtained permission to understand some things when she went to the Church of Light this time. Both Neil Butz and Michelle were left at the headquarters of the Church of Light.
They are about to face an extremely cruel war, which may involve faith, although the top church leaders have never believed in God.
The current pope sent her and the church's elite judge order to Maria, declaring to the outside world that she would succeed Maria to defend the World of Warcraft Forest.
In fact, the order from the Pope was to protect Yi Cheng. It is said that this was the result of the joint nomination of Saint Michelle and Saint Maria.
"Master Glentis, there is a group of pretenders about 800 meters behind us." A cleric walked forward and said to Glentis.
This clergyman is obviously different from the clergyman who came to Yicheng before. His name is Pierrot. The clergyman in the past looks more ordinary, and he looks like a muscular human being.
But this group of priests is different from them, their bodies are surrounded by a golden holy atmosphere, and there is even a golden light in their eyes.
The most important thing is that their weapons are all unified crosses, which are completely different from the previous totems, crosses, and rosary beads. The visual impact alone is much stronger.
"Pretender?" Galantis frowned.
"Yes, a group of sinners walking in the darkness, even if we change their appearance, we can still see through their sins." Piero tightened the handle of the cross on his back.
"The Holy Light will purify them." Galantis did not doubt what Pierrot said at all.
In fact, this group of clergymen are not ordinary clergymen, they are already transcending the existence of ordinary clergymen, and they have been sublimated from mind to body.
No evil, no matter how obscure, will disappear in their eyes.
The Shadow Guard led by Nagana and Hana soon arrived at the entrance and exit of Rose Town.
However, what awaited them was not the hospitable residents of Ross town, but a row of clergymen holding crosses.
Those who are not kind come, and there is no need to say hello. Nagana and Hana already understood that this group of clergymen came to trouble them.
They are not afraid of individual clergymen, but the group in front of them is too much. There must be 20 people in this long row, right?
Without saying a word, members of the Shadow Guard, such as Nagana and Hana, immediately took out various hidden weapons from their bodies and greeted the priests.
What kind of smoke bombs, what kind of darts, what kind of throwing knives, no matter how lethal they are, even those seemingly stupid monsters sprayed a few big fireballs on them.
After shaking the hidden weapon for a while, the magic power of the monster was also used up.
Na Ka Na raised her hand and shouted to stop. Under such intensive attacks, the opponent's clerics have never resisted, and it seems that they have been wiped out.
"Let me just say, what kind of clergyman, the Church of Light will put gold on their face, isn't it the same as those crispy mages..." Hana flicked a dart in disdain.
