Magic Industry Empire - 902. Chapter 902

The facts are worse than the chief of staff feared.

This is called by the Mayev Grand Mage, it has hit all the elites of the Military Magic Machinery Research Center. It took more than three months to craft it, and a total of 340,000 gold coins were used to create the magic artillery, regardless of the attack distance or The accuracy of the magic cannonball’s landing point can be called terrible.

During the morning test, the best time for this magic artillery was to attack a kilometer away, and the magic artillery shell’s landing point was still more than 50 meters away from the target.

Don’t say that such a big error is compared with the magic artillery of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Even if the equipment of the Spirit Turtle Army where the Chief of Staff is located is used, he must seriously consider whether it should be accepted.

This kind of unreliable thing, let alone hitting the enemy, will accidentally hurt one’s own people is a problem.

What really made the Chief of Staff Duran feel desperate was that in a test fire near noon, this magic artillery… actually exploded!

Such a powerful military magic machine, unexpectedly exploded by itself!

Until he left the military magic machinery research and development center far away, the Chief of Staff Duran still had lingering fears.

At that time, if it wasn’t for the Great Mage Moyev, he would unfold the magic shield in time to envelop the people around him. I am afraid that the fragments from the explosion of the magic artillery will directly blow him into a mass of flesh not far away.

And in response to such an astonishing accident, the Grand Mage Mayev actually acted very calmly, and told the Chief of Staff Duran that this was a normal thing, and there was no need to make a fuss.

Afterwards, the Chief of Staff Duran asked for a while, only to know that since the establishment of the Military Magic Machinery R&D Center, there have been more than 20 similar accidents so far, so the Great Mage Mayev has acted so calmly.

“It’s normal to study magic and encounter accidents. What’s so surprising?”

Thinking of the understatement on the face of the Grand Mage Mayev just now when he said these words, Chief of Staff Duran could only smile wryly.

He did not deny the words of the Great Mage Mayev, because he also agreed that studying magic and the same dangerous military magic machinery would definitely encounter all kinds of accidents and even dangers, but this made him see a fact clearly, that is, Sack. The Kingdom’s current level of research on military magic machinery is undoubtedly very far behind the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Wanting to rely on this military magic machinery research and development center to catch up with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is almost a dream.

And if it can’t catch up with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in military magic machinery, then the Kingdom of Sark may never turn back.

This is what the Chief of Staff is most worried about.

The frowning Chief of Staff Durang returned to Lordaeron in the carriage. He looked up to see that the time was approaching noon. He originally planned to go to the military to make a report. By the way, he had an exchange with the Military Intelligence Agency, but suddenly A convoy of magic locomotives with very familiar flags was found slowly driving out of the city.

Since the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Sark officially established diplomatic relations, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Sark have also begun to cooperate. It is not unusual to see magic locomotives in Lordaeron.

But this team attracted the attention of the Chief of Staff Duran, because the flag flying in the team clearly represents the flag of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce!

“This is a representative sent by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce? Why did they suddenly come to Lordaeron?” A faint question passed through the mind of the Chief of Staff, and then he suddenly remembered something.

The Moonshade tribe united with the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to repel the blockade of the Moonshade tribe by the Spirit Turtle Legion. Although this was not publicized, it did not cause much sensation in the Kingdom of Sark, and even the Kingdom’s military headquarters did not respond to this matter. Do more comments, but it is of course impossible to say that this matter did not cause any consequences.

Three days ago, the Chief of Staff Durack received news, claiming that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce would send a representative to negotiate with the Sark Kingdom, and the topic of the discussion was related to the territory of the Moonshade tribe.

At that time, the Chief of Staff Durang who heard the news first felt unbelievable.

The New Flying Chamber of Commerce sent an escort to attack the army belonging to the Kingdom of Sark, and now it actively sent representatives to run, which simply did not put the Kingdom of Sark in its eyes.

But after thinking about it, he felt that it made sense.

If there is no follow-up action, why should the New Flying Merchants Association make such a move?

I saw people from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce appearing in Lordaeron today, and they were still planning to leave, which meant that the talks were over?

What is the result of the negotiation?

The Chief of Staff Duran rolled his eyes and changed his plan to go to the military headquarters, and the carriage changed its direction and drove towards the north of Lordaeron.

“The request of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce?” Paula Irwin, the director of the Commercial Agency of the Kingdom of Sark, looked at Durank’s Chief of Staff inexplicably. “Hey, Duran, you war madman, why are you suddenly interested in this kind of thing?”

“Nonsense, we only fought with the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce a few days ago. Of course I will care about the actions of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.”

He and Paula Irwin are classmates at the same college, and they have been friends for many years, so naturally they can say whatever they want.

“So… but I obviously heard that your Spirit Turtle Legion was beaten up by the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and there is no way to fight back.” Director Irwin teased.

The Chief of Staff Duran rolled his eyes and sighed helplessly: “No way, the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce are too strong. Don’t say that our Spirit Turtle Army can’t stop it, even if it is changed to the Candela Empire or The most elite legion in the Marlow Empire is coming, and I don’t think it can be resisted.”

“So? Have you given up resistance?”

“Fart!” Duran’s chief of staff suddenly became furious. “As a soldier in the kingdom, how can you give up lightly! Okay, stop talking nonsense, tell me, the New Flying Merchants Association sent people this time, did they ask the kingdom too much? They just taught us a lesson. Surely there will be conditions, right?”

“They did make a request, but you have to say too much… that would be wrong.” Director Irwin shook his head. “At least in my opinion, this requirement is not only not excessive for our Sark Kingdom, but it is a very big benefit.”

“Benefits?” Duran’s chief of staff was suddenly stunned. “How can this be?”

“Nothing is impossible. The representative sent by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time expressed the hope that our Kingdom of Sark will open up the western coastal territory and create a business road from the black rice wasteland to the north of the mainland. The idea of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is to establish Starting from the Duchy of Stantin to the Black Rice Wasteland, passing through our Kingdom of Sark, and finally reaching the passages of several countries in the north of the mainland, so that they can easily transport their various commodities to the north of the mainland.”

“Oh? This is what the New Flying Chamber of Commerce intends to do?” The Chief of Staff Duran pondered for a moment, and could not help but nodded slowly. “This is indeed like the style of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and it is very feasible. But didn’t I hear that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce only sent a fleet to explore the northern waters some time ago? Since they are going to open a sea channel, why are they so expensive? Strength to open a passage on land?”

“Sea passages and land passages cannot be treated the same. The most obvious difference is that after the winter, the north sea area will be frozen in a large area, and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can no longer rely on sea transportation. So if I were Xu Yi, I would also look for it. A passage on land.” Irwin explained.

“Oh…so, the New Flying Merchants Association sent a guard to attack us with the elves of the Moonshade tribe. Is this the plan?”

“Judging from their actions now, it should be like this.”

“Then why should they do it more, just talk to the kingdom directly.” Durank said in a puzzled way.

“Do you think…if the New Flying Merchants Association did nothing, would the kingdom so easily agree to open the kingdom territory to allow their caravans to pass by at will?” Director Irwin asked back.

“This…” Durang Chief of Staff thought for a while, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

There are quite a few people in the Kingdom of Sark who have hatred of the New Flying Merchants Association, especially in the military department. There are very few people who can objectively examine the New Flying Merchants Association like the Chief of Staff Duran.

If the New Flying Chamber of Commerce directly came to ask the Kingdom of Sark to open the kingdom’s territory, it would definitely be regarded as a provocation by most people, and it would be weird if it was approved.

“Hey, when did our Sark Kingdom become a bully and fearless guy…” Chief of Staff Duran smiled bitterly in his heart. When he looked up, he found that Director Irwin had a smile on his face. He couldn’t help wondering: “What do I think? You seem to be very happy? Don’t you think it’s humiliating that the caravan of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can run around in our Sark Kingdom in the future?”

“Humiliation?” Director Irwin blinked, as if he didn’t understand this statement, and then laughed again. “Well, I understand what you military men think. But to be honest, in the eyes of me, the Director of Commerce, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is actually the best partner. We should have taken the initiative to seek cooperation a long time ago. Flying business will have any hatred.”

“why?”

“Why? Oh, Durank, you soldiers know how to ask for funds every day, but you have never cared about how the large amounts of funds allocated by the kingdom to the military came from?”

The Chief of Staff Duran’s face blushed slightly, and he said with a light cough: “Well…I still care about it a little bit. I know that the kingdom’s finances are not so abundant, and the funds are actually very tight.”

“It’s good to know!” Director Irwin snorted coldly. “Tell you, since the official cooperation with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce more than two years ago, the business tax of our Sark Kingdom has increased significantly each year. Especially this year, if everything goes according to the current trend, the business tax for the whole year of this year It will be more than four times what it was three years ago! Do you know what this means?”

“More than four times?” Durang Chief of Staff was taken aback. “So exaggerated?”

“It’s just such an exaggeration.” Director Irwin said sternly: “Dulan, this time the New Flying Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to seek cooperation with us. This is a good opportunity for us. Don’t say that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce deliberately made this The big moves force your military to make concessions. Even if they do not do this, I will ask you to make concessions on behalf of the Department of Commerce!”

Looking at the awe-inspiring Director Irwin, the Chief of Staff Duran curled his lips and was speechless for a while.

How did he suddenly discover that these soldiers, who are dedicated to defending the kingdom, seem to have become sinners?
