Fairy’s Box

In addition to the super high salary, the natural disaster knights directly under the empire also have various detached privileges. Even the worst knights can participate in the supervision of the local administrative and judicial systems. Hidden benefits.

Of course, the Celtic Governor's Palace is also a part of the empire. As long as you become a natural disaster knight, you also have the privileges of ordinary upper knights, but after all, the degree of autonomy is too high, and promotion and election will have a great impact.

If you want to offset this attraction, you can only spend more money than the imperial government. The empire pays them a salary of one million sol every year, and the Governor's Palace pays them at least two million to keep people.

The strong endurance, destructive power, defense and resistance of the Scourge Knights determine that they can adapt to battles in any environment, cooperate with most tactics, and are strategic resources wherever they go. It belongs to the advanced arms among the advanced arms. On the battlefield, it basically has the upper hand against the magic knights and the Crusaders of the same level. In special cases, one can even be exchanged for two.

In the face of these big treasures that are more precious than gold, Yale will of course not be vague. The allowance set for them is three million a year, and he promises more benefits in the future. Twenty-one newly advanced natural disaster knights are naturally happy, and feel that it is a wise choice to follow such a generous Governor.

After the large amount of gold was spilled, their hearts were stable, but the black-haired knight's wallet was also deflated.

Now, each person to raise a natural disaster knight has to spend 3 million a year, 21 people is 63 million, he can survive by selling resources and collecting business tax, but in the future it will become 210 people, What about two thousand one hundred people?

Gotta find a way to make money, make more money.

In fact, Yalei is not poor now. Every year, the Governor's Office sells resources and collects business taxes, which can generate almost one billion in income. The sound Nest is developing rapidly, and the sales of tranquilizers are so good that the net profit in the first quarter has reached 2 billion Sol. Glamorgan can also draw tens of millions of taxes from the mercenaries every year, plus the monster tribute and 7788 miscellaneous taxes, it can have a total income of nearly 5 billion each year.

The land is vast and the population is sparse, and the food prices are high, the army of the Sanctuary is very economical. They have their own fiefs, and they only need to provide nutrition, wound medicine, and holiday subsidies every year, which cost no more than 200 million yuan.

It doesn't take much to raise monsters and assist the army, just give a place to manage a meal and win over their leader. The main source of military expenditure is the new army, but the annual military expenditure of 30,000 new troops is only about 800 million.

Compared with Yale's annual private income of five billion, the military expenditure of more than one billion seems to be nothing, but his private income does not represent the financial income of the Governor's Office.

The status quo that military spending is equal to fiscal revenue is really insane. Now, almost black-haired knights are relying on their own private property to support the entire Celtic Governor's Mansion. The economic structure is too deformed.

And Yalei's private property is the largest part of the sound nest, relying on a consortium to support an area, it seems to be no problem in a short time. But this highly monolithic economic model has too many drawbacks. Once there is a problem with the sound nest, the order of the entire Governor's Palace will collapse.

As a high-ranking person, you always have to be prepared for danger. The black-haired knight has discussed with Pompey and several economic advisers for a long time. They all feel that this is not a problem. The development of the Governor's Palace must be supported by multiple economic engines to be safe.

Pompeo and several economic advisers pointed out that there are two major products of Sound Nest, tranquilizers and enhancers, both of which are profitable pharmaceutical industries. If the Governor's Office wants to get rid of its dependence on it in a short period of time, it must find the same profitable product, which can only be arms!

Thanks to Yale's stalking and shamelessness in the five army governor's mansion, the poor and white Celtic governor's mansion has a military industry that many provinces are envious of. However, the product is to be sold. No matter how good you do it, no one will buy it if there is no market. The bigger it is, the faster it will die.

The reason why the military industry of the Celtic Governor's Mansion can be maintained depends entirely on the procurement of the Highland Kingdom. If the Highland Kingdom hadn't been overturned in a short period of time, and their money had been used to sustain a wave of life, the military factory of the Governor's Mansion would have long since survived. dead.

Even so, it is a huge loss every year, and it can be maintained by the black-haired knight.

Pompeo and his advisers bluntly pointed out that the main reason for the inability to sell the arms of the Governor's Palace is that the domestic market is saturated and the foreign market is closed. As long as the foreign arms market can be opened up, it is not a problem to make a lot of profits with the performance and popularity of Rosevi's weapons.

But now that the two poles of the world are facing each other, it is almost impossible to open the arms market between the east and the west, so... we can only find another way. Speaking of which, can Yale still not understand? They have said so much, aren't they just beating around the bush to encourage him to smuggle arms.

But the smuggling of arms doesn't last long...

Pompeo and his advisers reluctantly said that there is really no way to not smuggle arms. The Governor's Palace has no population, labor and market, and the development potential is very limited. In the future, we can gradually make up for the shortcomings through immigration development, but if we want to achieve quick results, we can only rely on smuggling of arms.

Shortly after the scholars left, the black-haired knight pulled down the world map in the office, and his sight moved from Glamorgan, Dunlon, and Edinburgh in the Highland Kingdom to the east of the North Sea—the three Baltic countries.

As time went by, he began to feel that these three countries became more and more annoying, because they were like three piles of **** next to each other, blocking the east of Celtic Island, cutting off the connection between the Governor's Palace and the Eastern Prairie.

Because these three countries controlled the Baltic Sea, they were able to trade with the steppe empires in the east, and they became two dealers between the New World and the World Island through the Atlantic-North Sea-Baltic trade routes, so they were very rich.

The most hateful thing is that they joined the Free Alliance and didn't do business with themselves. It was too stingy.

Thinking about it, the evil warlord leader is a little eager to try again - if the market of these three countries can be opened through violence, the empire and them can trade with each other, and the Governor's Office uses Dunlon as a distribution center for goods, the financial problem may be alleviated. .

No, it must be relieved!

If these three countries are taken care of, the trade network of the Empire—the North and South Celts—the Frankish Kingdom—the Baltic Kingdoms—the Eastern Steppe can be opened up. Dunlon, which is at the heart of the country, must be full of money!

Yale hyped himself up for a while, and gradually calmed down. He turned his eyes to the three Baltic countries again, and began to realize that this was an extremely difficult task.

These three countries were built on the ruins of the World Tree and possessed a natural secondary world barrier. They also officially joined the Freedom Alliance and formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the two giants of the Iberian Federation and the Papal State. Once attacking them, it is equivalent to a decisive battle with the Liberty Alliance, and the three countries are not weak, at least not comparable to the Highland Kingdom.

The three Baltic countries, the three countries in one, are highly unified in military, economic and political, and belong to the aristocratic republic in terms of political system. Women are superior to men in the three countries, and the will of the country is controlled by the special class of Valkyrie, the Valkyrie, and is powerful.

Women in these three countries have the possibility of awakening to become Valkyries. Once awakened, they can possess incredible mana and physique, and can control Pegasus, control nature, and call and drive heroic spirits.

Males, on the other hand, do not have such power, so only the most powerful ones have social status and can be bred by the Valkyries. Weak men have no birthright, let alone social status, and can only become low-level coolies or cannon fodder in wars.

In addition to the Valkyries, there are many supernatural creatures in this country, black elves, white elves, giants, and dwarves.

Although they are somewhat similar to humans in appearance, they are supernatural creatures that are completely different from humans in nature. They were born in the World Tree and will be reincarnated in the World Tree after their lifespan ends. The total number is not large, so happily exploiting human males with the Valkyries, belonging to the backbone of the Three Kingdoms, has a high degree of autonomy.

It's not that Rosevia has not fought against this country, but under the protection of the remains of the World Tree, it did not take advantage of it. In the two land and sea attacks, the entire fleet was buried under what they called the kamikaze. Without the navy to transport supplies, the army alone would not be able to fight for a long time, so it could only end in an unconditional peace.

The black-haired knight looked at the map and pondered for a long time. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was necessary to subdue these three countries, but he had no clue for the time being, so he could only put this evil idea on hold for the time being.

...

On the original site of the City of London, the crisp autumn wind in the morning hit the long city walls and made a whimper, and under the bright and warm early autumn sunshine, one by one, buildings were under construction.

In the morning exercise, Yalei walked through the buzzing construction site alone, looking at the new city that was taking shape in front of him, with an imperceptible smile on his face.

I burned a city made of wood, and now I'm giving you a city made of steel and concrete - this sense of self-righteousness makes him very proud.

Walking all the way to the beach, the black-haired knight looked at the white skyline, and his mind slowly sank into his body with the waves.

Before withdrawing from the Highland Kingdom, he had converted his honed crimson fighting qi into the power of his soul, and his soul strength had reached the level of thirty-five.

Now, Yalei is learning the fifth kind of vindictiveness - the water-calling sword.

The Sword of Water Calling can be said to be the longest and gentlest of all the fighting qi he has used so far, and it does not cause any damage to the body, and even has the effect of nourishing and meditating.

As we all know, Dou Qi has never been a technology developed to prolong life, but a flame that pursues complete destructive power and sublimates life to the limit.

The Sword of Water Calling is slightly different, adhering to the long-lasting characteristics of the power of water, it pays great attention to the adjustment and nourishment of the body, and is known for its huge reserve of fighting qi and explosive power.

In the initial stage, between the heart and the kidneys, three water sources are condensed to accumulate energy to warm and nourish the viscera. After the accumulation reaches a certain level, if it can be integrated into one, it will be inexhaustible and the energy will be infinite. It is said that at this stage, the Sword of Water Calling has the miraculous effect of nourishing, stopping bleeding, and removing decayed muscles.

For a long time, the black-haired knight relied on his undead body to focus on the improvement of destructive power, so now he wants to rely on this water-calling sword to experience the nourishing characteristics of the fire of life.

After accumulating the water-calling vindictive energy into the heart and kidneys, Yalei's head buzzed with a loud noise, only to feel two flames rising from the kidneys, rushing up the limbs, and pouring directly into the skull.

Instant desire | The fire soared, and immediately there was an urge to push the woman and slap it on the spot.

"..."

The black-haired knight hurriedly pressed his tongue against his upper jaw, emptied his mind with all his strength, and maintained a calm state of mind as described in the general outline of the Sword of Water Calling, ignoring the flames that poured over his body.

I don't know how long it took, Yalei calmed down. Although the whole body was still hot and hot, the kidneys and heart gradually cooled down, and the accumulated water source slowly rotated, releasing a cool and comfortable feeling.

A strange feeling quietly rose from his heart, like hallucinations constantly echoing in his ears, like the gentle sound of spring water slowly accumulating along the stalactites, emitting a cool chill, and dripping into the pool little by little.

Soon, the black-haired knight found that his whole body was indescribably comfortable, like being soaked in spring water, or floating in the clouds, and the endlessly circulating fighting qi had been connected into a backflow.

"..."

Yale violently opened his eyes, and from the pitch-black eyeballs, an extremely strong flame, sulfur, and lava **** breath was released.

Under the micro-control of the deified state, the speed at which the vindictive energy in the body runs and accumulates suddenly increased tenfold, and the sword of water-calling that slowly accumulated began to increase rapidly in an optimized way. At the same time, there is still spare energy to nourish the internal organs, muscles and bones, and lay a solid foundation for him.

From six o'clock in the morning until eight o'clock in the morning, the black-haired knight trained the Sword of Water Summoning to the second level in one breath, and then slowly stopped its operation, not because of lack of physical strength, but because of mental fatigue. With the strength of his soul, using a small amount of deified state can only last for so long.

"Then try it."

Yalei felt the long and peaceful power of water in his body, he straightened his body suddenly, spread out the five fingers of his right hand, slowly rotated his wrist, and there was a faint sound of water flowing in his palm.

clap la la...

The black-haired knight moved his vindictive energy and slowly raised his right hand in front of him. Drops of crystal clear "water droplets" were spinning in the palm of his hand like a vortex, and finally condensed into a liquid sphere that was constantly deforming and twisting.

After the vindictive energy in his palm was formed, he violently threw it upwards!

Chi-!

In the morning light, the liquid sphere refracting the golden sunlight rose rapidly until it climbed to a height of nearly a hundred yards before the sword burst open, and there was a burst of water ripples in the sky.

In the sound of Chi Chi, the water-calling battle qi and water vapor exploded, making a sound as if water droplets fell into the hot oil pan. It shook in the sky for a few seconds before slowly disappearing.
