Arcane Lord

“You still have the face to mention the war twenty-five years ago? Had you idiots slaughtered captives wantonly and broke the rules of trade war, we would have been so passive as we are now! Do you know what other city-states call the navy of Linton City? Barbarian! Executioner!

Remember! How you treat others today, others will treat you in the future!

Think about it In the great battle in the Sardinian Sea Territory a few months ago, why did the pirates rather die than surrender?

Because they knew they would be slaughtered even if they surrendered, they would rather choose a vigorous battle. Death!

Congratulations! You have made more than half of the entire southern region our enemy!” The old man roared furiously, while deciding whether the opponent was wrong.

In his opinion, these main combatants are all lunatics, always expanding the scale and cost of the war without restriction. He does not understand that war is only a means to achieve political ends and must be restricted. Within a certain range, otherwise it is equivalent to making enemies act recklessly everywhere.

Looking at the head-on conflict between the two Great Sect families among the Linton nobles, Andre suddenly understood a lot of things.

In fact, to put it plainly, the two sides simply have differences in interests and political ideas. The conservatives centered on Count George Mantel, mostly operating in the direction of land, handicraft workshops, metal products, cloth, swords and armor Such relatively traditional industries.

The biggest feature of these businesses is stability. At any time, people need to buy as long as they are alive. It is just a matter of earning more and less.

Their political proposition and foreign policy are also very simple, that is, try to expand sales through diplomatic means and reduce the number of trade wars. After all, once a certain area begins to hate or even hate Linton City, various The sales of goods in this area will drop significantly, making it extremely difficult to start business.

The main fighting faction headed by Bruce Marquis of Kyrgyzstan is on the contrary. The main business direction is to buy low and sell high. It not only needs a cheap, preferably free, commodity producing area, but also has to dump its high price. Going to another place, earning a lot of price difference from it, is very dependent on policy support and market changes.

When the environment is good, it is better to say that letting fleet run on a fixed number of routes can make money, but if the situation is turbulent, for example, there is a riot in the raw material producing area, or there is competition in dumping. Otherwise, they must quell the riot as quickly as possible, otherwise the loss will be astronomical over time.

Because of this, this group of people themselves are like the European countries in the great voyage age on Earth. They must embark on the road of external expansion. They need larger and cheaper commodity producing areas. Also eager for more markets, so combating and eliminating the competitors in Bacaro City became the only choice.

To some extent, this is a battle between capital power and traditional power for urban dominance. Although the former has great potential, it is still unable to leverage feudal power on the Olaer continent, which is full of supernatural power. The corner of the country can only consolidate its own interests by constantly launching wars, waiting for opportunities to seize power in one fell swoop.

The latter may be somewhat conservative, but the strength accumulated over hundreds or even thousands of years should not be underestimated. Among them, the Knight regiment is one of the firm supporters. After all, only feudalism can ensure them Access to land, rights and social status.

Of course, in fact, the two factions can be united. One party provides cheap raw materials, and the other party processes them into commodities, and the former is responsible for selling them to the entire south. In this way, it will not take long. This city can grow rapidly through maritime trade and eventually become a well-deserved maritime hegemon.

However, I don’t know if it is technically restricted or the greed pervading among the nobles is at work. Neither of them is willing to give up the interests at hand. Over time, the relationship between the current situation and the fire and water is formed. .

Kyrgyzstan obviously disagrees with George’s accusation, and only sneered, not at all to refute, but chose to ignore it.

That’s right!

I just ignore it naked!

In the process of interaction between the nobles and the nobles, any provocative language is not more insulting than turning a blind eye, because the former is just an emotional disrespect, while the subtext of the latter is that you are unworthy Talk to me mention on equal terms, or I simply didn’t put you and your family in the eyes.

As an earl, George Mantel trembled with anger. He dared to swear that he had never received more rude treatment than this in his life!

Just when he wanted to retaliate, Kyrgyz turned around suddenly, squinted his eyes and looked at Andre up and down, and asked in a slightly arrogant tone: “Are you the young mage whose fame has risen recently?” “

“Yes, I am.” Andre replied playfully.

“I heard that you have been opposed to the trade war, can you tell me why?” Kyrgyzstan looked serious and continued to overbearing.

Different from other nobles, there is no trace of flattery or respect in his tone, but full of doubts, as if to find fault.

Perhaps in the past when his strength was insufficient, Andre would choose to compromise or endure, but now he has enough strength, he has no intention of getting used to the other party’s problems at all, and directly sneered and asked: “I am Why answer your question? What is the obligation to answer your question? In addition, even the dukes are polite when they talk to me. Who gave you the courage to question me?”

In the face of frigid irony and scorching satire, Kyrgyz’s complexion changed drastically. He did not expect that someone would dare to speak to himself like this, and his eyes were filled with murderous aura, nodded by gnashing teeth: “Very good! Very good You are as supercilious as Gavin Law said. Youngster, I advise you not to be too arrogant, otherwise…”

Before this sentence was finished, Andre immediately raised his hand and hit With a snap of fingers, the fire stars floating around gathered together instantly, making a loud noise, followed by a heat wave, battered and exhausted the Marquis of Kyrgyzstan who was ranting about it.

After doing all this, he said with a playful sarcasm: “Otherwise, what can you say? Marquis of Blood? Don’t make me laugh! You just killed a few people yourself. , I dare to claim blood, trifling is an advanced warrior, do you really think you are a Legendary professional? Shut your mouth and disappear from my eyes immediately.

Remember, it’s better not to look for it in the future. Trouble, my temper has never been very good, maybe one time I couldn’t control my emotions, I would just cast a large-scale killing magic in public. By the way, I would like to give Gavin Lawrion a word and say that I wrote it down this time. Next time, let him prepare for a spell duel.”
