Chapter 1104 26. Why did the Grand Duke rebel

Annan brought tens of thousands of gold coins to Liberty City just by talking.

And this is only the first time, there will be a second and third transaction...

But other forces are not so easy to convince. Annan did this because of his Vitalig and Girardi had no wise men around them, and they had full trust in Annan.

That’s not right either... Count Ulmit is still missing!

With the idea of ​​​​"shooting with or without dates", Annan contacted the earl whose title had been changed to Ulmit I, and who took up the banner of reviving the Violet Kingdom.

For the sake of his relationship with Annan, Ulmit I bought ten guardian golems as a friend fee to close the relationship.

"Brother Annan, you know me. My floating city is so small, and it won't be able to stand if I put a few more golems..." Ulmit I complained.

Annan told him not to worry. With the situation in the Ruikaner Kingdom stabilized, there will be no rat infestation in the north, and his return to the kingdom will be just around the corner.

Urmit I looked grim. The rat people in the north are blocked, but the rat people in the old land are still there, so what can he do to clean them up?

Annan was helpless, so he couldn't put food into his mouth, right? You helped him block the rat-men, helped him clean up the rat-men...then why did you give him the old soil?

He could only keep hinting at how useful the Knight Golem and the Magic Musket were, one battle epic, ten rat nests, and a hundred creations.

"Too expensive, too expensive...Friend, your things are all good, but they are too expensive..."

When Annan was still staying at Aunt Susan's house, she encountered a dazzling array of things. The product also had this reaction: "Besides maternal love being selfless, what else in this world is without price?"

"That's right! I miss my mother. If she were still here, she would never look at me. After suffering so many grievances, she would say to me, 'Little Mitt, don't cry, you are a brave boy...'" The bear-like Ulmit I sobbed like a little girl.

Annan had nothing to do with him: "Okay, the price I give to my allies is 100 gold coins per unit. You can get the goods at this price."

"Okay! I want a hundred units!" Ur Mitte wiped his nose.

"Huh?"

"I still have some money...what you sell must be good stuff. I can sell it even if I don't use it——"

Compared to Vitalig and Girardi were about to be fooled by Annan. Urmit I looked like a politician, but not much - he could have made this money secretly without telling anyone.

"It's okay. If you sell it, it's your ability." Annan didn't think Urmit could sell anything.

His little floating city only has a small port and is not bordered by any force. Who will he sell it to?

Before the factory was built, Annan had received orders for almost a thousand units, and he could almost be a hands-on shopkeeper.

Itilia, the deputy city lord in charge of internal affairs, took over the affairs. Because the golem was obviously an independent product, Idilia split the business from Bronzebeard's blacksmith shop and sent gravel to build the golem factory in the vacant land reserved in the industrial zone in the west of the city.

Fortunately, I bought a second arcane energy core, otherwise the space would not be enough... Even so, Liberty City is a bit crowded now.

She checked Liberty City's finances - it was within easy reach of the third arcane energy core, but Liberty City had too many places to spend money.

Mage Tower, Mushroom House, School, Residential Area of ​​Gem Bay. Given this, expanding Liberty City isn't a high priority - they won't be airborne for the time being anyway.

After receiving the new announcement, Francois went to recruit workers. It is expected that the initial golem factory can provide jobs for about 300 people.

Liberty City does not lack people, but it has a serious shortage of jobs because it accepts too many people.

Although the Gem Bay residential area project is in full swing, and the free food and prestige provided by Liberty City can temporarily stabilize these people, but how long can it last?

Itilia is preparing to put the second Great Northern Wall on the agenda.

On the map, the Second Great Wall is about 50 miles away from Liberty City and the First Great Wall, and also 50 miles away from Gemstone Bay and the border of the Principality.

Who will invade Liberty City? Itilia could not imagine that, but Liberty City needs to provide jobs to reduce the chance of unemployed people causing unrest. Annan paid little attention to these issues. He only needs to immerse himself in making money at the front, while Itilia and Olmedo sitting in the back have a lot to think about.

However, when discussing with Annan and Olmedo, Annan suddenly asked: "Why not build the Great Wall on the border of the principality?"

Itilia looked up at the map: "It's too far away from us, and too close to the Watch Territory..."

"It's not here, it's the northern border of the principality." Annan pointed to the map further north, " We are building a long wall here to protect against demons and ratmen. Giraldi, who lacks self-confidence and security, will never refuse. Isn't it too much?" Olmedo asked.

She was referring to over-squeezing Girardi.

“We can earn less on this kind of thing. We provide people and resources at cost price, and they pay.”

This is a win-win situation, and...

Annan pointed to the north of the map very ambitiously: "In this way, we have built three lines of defense in the north: Ruikan'er, Ulmit, and the Principality. There is absolutely no way for the demons to attack Liberty City directly."

"Isn't it the same for us floating in the air?"

Olmedo's words left Annan speechless.

He blinked and said: "Well... at least we resisted, we are not so dejected?"

...

Free City has many advantages, such as efficiency.

The whole city moved quickly, Francois recruited, the mine prepared lime, and Ingrid mobilized resources.

After all, when the weather gets warmer, the rat people will start to move around.

When we were ready, we didn’t expect that the principality would encounter a setback.

Girardi ran back to Liberty City in some embarrassment and complained to Annan: "I said I wanted to buy the Golem, but they said the treasury was empty. I told the ministers about your proposal, and they said it was a waste of money and people. I said this is your proposal. After the territory is civilized, the rat people will go south. They said that this is Middle Earth, and the empire will not sit idly by. I said that I was the Grand Duke, and I promised him, and they said..."

"Just say whatever you want. ?”

“You just said that you were just trying to turn the principality into a puppet, and you asked me, Grand Duke, why did you betray the principality?”

The more you spoke, the more aggrieved you became. He vented his experience: "They still sent people to control me, but several loyal cronies took me out."

"The domineering attitude is exposed...seeking death!" Annan shouted coldly.

I didn't even treat Giraldi as a mascot or teach him to be independent. How dare you stretch out your paws?

It seems that the blade of freedom pierced too far before, and did not let the nobles of the principality see how sharp it is...
