Magic Tower Starry Sky

A few days ago, White Fox Castle, the base camp of the Duke of Lisa.

It is said to be a fortress, but in fact it is a group of fortresses. There is no integral city wall, but according to the terrain and the tunnel between the fortresses, the low hills are managed like iron barrels. All the dignitaries of the Lisa family lived scattered in this fortress group, under the guard of the family's loyal soldiers.

On one side of White Fox Fort is a large lake. The fortresses are condescending, and you can have a panoramic view of the thousand sails.

And under the hill where the castle is located, is the location of White Fox City. Built on the back of the mountain and the lake, relying on water conservancy and road transportation, it has gathered a considerable population and businessmen from all over the world, making White Fox City the brightest pearl in the territory of the Lisa family. Moreover, the city and the castle are separated from each other and rely on each other.

The name of the white fox comes from the fact that the white fox was once produced here. When he was young, he was only at the level of ordinary beasts, but after he became an adult, he had the opportunity to transform into a monster, which could make a difference.

The fur of this strange beast is white and soft, whether it is the fur of a juvenile or an adult, it is quite popular with nobles. In particular, the fur of the white fox monster can be made into a magic fur, which is beautiful, warm and enchanting. It is an excellent magic material.

Therefore, the white fox was hunted by humans in large numbers, and eventually became extinct. There is no such thing as animal conservation in Midi. These magical beasts that would attack human gathering places had better die cleanly. Everyone is happy.

There is no white fox in White Fox Fort, but the people living here still lead a comfortable life. The empire is under the emperor, and there are only 16 grand dukes. The prosperity of the castle is only lost to the imperial city of Nineveh.

After all, Duke Lisa is an expert in internal affairs. Not only did he manage the empire in an orderly manner, but his territory was still prosperous. But this is the scene more than half a year ago.

Duke Kawei raised the **** banner of revenge. Even if he didn't hit White Fox Fort for a while, it did bring harm to the Lisa family's economy.

In particular, the emperor's prohibition against other families' intervention made the manpower of other nobles stationed in White Fox City more or less restrained. Some official articles on the bright side have all stopped, leaving only some shady off-the-spot exchanges. Even so, fewer and fewer people are willing to stand on the side of the Lisa family, and the number of long-term residents of White Fox City has also been lost.

Especially under the obvious military threat of the Kawei family, the Lisa family tried their best to recruit troops to resist. Not only did they dig out the capital that the Lisa family had stored for many years, even private businesses were exploited by Mr. Lisa to the point of being seriously injured. There are people who go bankrupt and break their homes and commit suicide.

Just a while ago, an unconfirmed news came, which made the residents of Lisa even more panic.

With the help of the bank, Duke Kavi opened up trade with the three small countries in the north. The emperor could only prohibit the nobles of the empire from interacting with the families of the two grand dukes, but he could not prohibit other kings from doing things.

Besides, the geographical location of the three small countries that the Kawei family came into contact with, even if the emperor ordered an expedition in a fit of anger, the main attack would be the Grand Duke of Kawei, and it is unlikely that he would draw troops from other places. Even if the army is really ordered to travel long distances, it will still have to pass through the territory of the Kawei family. As a local snake, doing some hands and feet is an easy thing to do.

That being the case, for the three small countries, the friendship between the emperor's decree and Lord Kawei is more obvious than the other.

However, just launching trade will not make the Lisa family feel anxious. It is rumored that Duke Kawi intends to hire soldiers to launch an attack from the northern border and attack the Lisa Territory. This is what kills me!

Can this rumor be trusted? Judging from the past habits of that military scholar, as long as he can win the battle without too many sequelae, he has a great possibility to do it.

For example, driving the people to be the vanguard and consuming the enemy's vitality may damage the reputation of benevolence and morality, which is not conducive to post-war rule. That kind of behavior, the great nobleman who knows the soldiers will not do it.

But if it is paid and people are willing to be the pioneers, the death can only be blamed on the poor eyesight and lack of strength of the employees. It would be strange if the great noble didn't do this kind of thing.

Even Lord Lisa himself understands that troubles that can be solved with money are not considered troubles. Why didn't I hire a large number of mercenaries who are good at group battles as area guards in addition to the family's private army and territory conscription. For otherwise, the force would be insufficient to defend the domains of himself and his vassals.

It's just that the situation in Lisa's family is obviously not good, and those mercenaries who are open to money don't dare to promise to be hired easily. It's true that those people love money, but if you don't spend your life, no matter how much money you have, it's useless. Some mercenaries got in the car too early in the morning, and when they saw the overwhelming situation, they couldn't get out of the car even if they wanted to.

Not to mention losing money for breach of contract, such a breach of contract is no different from offending Mr. Rissa. If the Lisa family is finally wiped out by the Kawei family, then nothing will happen. As long as they leave a little blood, they will definitely be retaliated against for their behavior that is equivalent to betrayal, so these mercenaries who signed the contract are also very troubled.

If there is insufficient evidence of the three small northern countries being hired to attack, the possibility is unlikely. Then there is another more obvious thing, that is, it is purely fatal.

Judging from Duke Kavi's armament preparations, he already has the ability to launch an offensive. It's just that this winter, the climate of heavy snow has hindered the possibility of Duke Kavi's winter offensive.

In this year's lost land, even if there are warm clothes, once it snows at the latitude where the Gwana Empire is located, it will make people dispel the idea of ​​going out for activities, let alone marching the army. Therefore, Lord Kawei's plan is to launch an attack in the early spring after the end of winter. This information also flowed into Lisa Gong's ears.

No one in the Lisa family knows whether the undercover intelligence personnel in the Duke of Kavi are highly skilled, or the old man who is good at using soldiers revealed it himself. They only understand one thing, spring attack is a very vicious act.

Although the Gwana Empire is no longer a large agricultural country, agriculture is still the foundation that countries of all sizes dare not neglect in an era where commerce and trade are not prosperous like Midi. Launching a military campaign in spring basically means giving up spring plowing, and even one year's harvest will be greatly affected, and it is not impossible to even lose the harvest.

It is true that if you have money, you can buy food from other people. However, the nobles in the empire have basically temporarily cut off contact with the two duke families. Only when they decide the winner, get the approval of the emperor, and re-enter the sequence of the empire, will they resume normal business exchanges.

Without such pressure, the nobles in the empire would provoke disputes at will and attack each other, so there would be no peace in the empire. This can be regarded as the silent pressure given by the emperor. Either hit a dozen quickly, the damned die, and the damned take the money to ask for return. Either continue to procrastinate until the two families can no longer breathe, and the emperor will come forward to harvest. Anyway, the person sitting on that throne is happy to watch the show because he can make a steady profit without losing money.

If you are looking for a grain merchant to buy grain...not to mention the small grain merchants, the Gwana Empire is nearby, and the largest grain merchant is the Jialong Chamber of Commerce. One of them, Ruan Wenyue and Wen Chao brothers, is as good as Mr. Kawei as if he wears the same pair of trousers. It is more difficult than going to heaven to buy grain from the Jialong Chamber of Commerce.

In today's Jialong Chamber of Commerce, although the two brothers Wen Yue and Wen Zhao are not in charge of the power of the family, they are still at the level where shouting water will freeze. Because the main force for transporting food is the truck produced by the automobile manufacturing and R & D center, and even the driver is trained by the two brothers.

It can be said that even if the Lisa family offered a higher price, people from other branches of the chamber of commerce wanted to sell it. The two brothers Wen Yue and Wen Zhao said that the truck was still going to Duke Kawei's territory, and it was useless for anyone to speak.

Even if the two brothers Wen Yue and Wen Zhao were persuaded by the Ruan family of other branches, or were overwhelmed by force. The people guarding the car center are half of Duke Kavi's guards. If they want to kick out the forces of the Ruan Brothers and swallow all the technicians, it's not as easy as drinking water.

Now that the second automobile manufacturing plant has not yet been established, once it is expelled from the automobile manufacturing and R & D center, it is almost the same as being kicked out of the automobile industry. Even if you use your experienced maintenance personnel and existing cars and trucks as a template to re-enter the automobile manufacturing industry, it will take a lot of effort and effort. This does not require catching up to the level of the center.

Looking at the opportunity costs on both sides, those who clamored that the Lisa family could buy food at a better price also shut up. The price of selling those grains for gold can't stand the money it takes to build a car factory from scratch. And if you want to sell the grain to the Lisa family as gold, is it possible?

Therefore, the Jialong Chamber of Commerce is firmly tied to the chariot of the Kawei family, and no one can pry the corner away.

This also means that from a commercial point of view, the Lisa family basically cannot buy enough food~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Once he gives up the spring plowing in the territory, how long can he cope with the Kawei family?

Besides, the military forces mobilized by the two parties are not at the same level at all. Kawei's family is full of money, but there are only 30,000 soldiers plus auxiliary soldiers. In order to defend various places, the Lisa family mobilized nearly five times more manpower, more than 150,000 soldiers plus auxiliary soldiers.

The difference in the number of the two means that the Kawei family still has manpower for spring plowing. There may be some things that cannot be taken into account, but it is not difficult to survive this year relying on the grain purchased from the Jialong Chamber of Commerce.

However, the Lisa family squeezed out all the potential in their territory, and then barely deployed those key nodes. And there is no guarantee that any place can survive the onslaught of Lord Kawei, at most, it is just to give the defenders in other places time to rush to help.

As for raising all the troops, Lord Rakavi fought in the field?

The Lisa family has no confidence!

If it is to fight for the core force, Lisa is confident, and the equipment and training supported by him are even worse than that of the Kawei family. But when the big armies were fighting, he didn't have suitable strategic and tactical talents in his hands, and he could compete with Ricardo Carvey, the military **** of the heavenly talents.

Once the miscellaneous soldiers hired by him with money dared to appear in the wild, they would definitely be laughed at by that old ghost Ricardo. As long as you lose a few miscellaneous troops, your morale will probably collapse. Not to mention that the remaining miscellaneous troops are about to disperse, even their own core army is not stable.

So if you don't fight a defensive battle, Duke Lisa really has no confidence!

And the key factor of all these disadvantages is the new product of 'car', which brings unparalleled mobility to the old man who likes to run around. This is like adding wings to a tiger.

In order to equalize this disadvantage, Grand Duke Angie Rissa set his sights on the airship. And the opportunity to take advantage of it is the Sid.
