Chapter 1348 It’s seven or eight years later!
Brand stopped paying attention to the visit of the [Red Ring] delegation in the empire after learning a little about it.
In his eyes, the most important thing at the moment is to strengthen the military of Morning Flower Leader.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed slowly.
In the past month, Chenhualing has begun high-profile military development, stockpiling of supplies, and even launched a long-term recruitment campaign.
War resources in Morning Flower Collar and surrounding areas have seen significant price increases.
Although the empire is not as direct as the Morning Flower Leader, it has also begun to strengthen the military field subtly.
Some businessmen with a keen sense of smell noticed something was wrong.
Their business practices changed from radical to conservative.
This series of actions comes with feedback.
When Chris routinely reported on the territory’s income last month, she shook her head helplessly and said:
“Because of our strong military operation.
Morning Flower Territory started a year ago The monthly increase in business tax revenue has started to stagnate this month.
In addition, according to the intelligence of Free Iris,
in some places in the Human Alliance.
News about the joint expedition on the three continents of Ventim, Rios, and Sweetin is gradually spreading.
Maybe some people leaked the secret.
Of course, it may be that the mysterious organization that came from the source does not like the secrecy of various countries.
All in all, it is expected that people in all countries of the Human Alliance will definitely be able to receive relevant news in two months at most.
By then, the business of our Human Alliance, which has only been prosperous for a few years, will begin to turn into depression due to panic. ”
Brand shook his head and said:
“As long as war is certain to come, sooner or later our Human Alliance’s business, which has been rising since the founding of the Griffith Empire, will suffer setbacks.
And If the war does not come in the end, business will return to prosperity sooner or later
However, according to the latest statistics from the mainland tribes a few days ago:
Fantim, Rios, and Sweetin. Judging from the increasing number of illegal immigrants in these three continents
Things are clearly taking a turn for the worse.
At the same time, the information I obtained on Rios continent is also very detrimental to us.
Now more and more forces in Rios continent are beginning to contact the [Yaohuo Palace] and join their ongoing conquest.
So the problem now is not that mainland business development is stagnant and declining, but that it is not declining fast enough! ”
After a brief pause, Brand continued:
“According to the information from Free Iris, some countries in the Human Alliance have not made any movement until now.
And in the past month or so, our Morning Flower Leader has recruited more than 3,000 troops.
And we have also formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the Yinyan Leader, the Xuexing Leader, and the Golden Sword Leader.
In the next three months, we will build along the coast in the east and west directions with Fanhua Bay as the core. Fortifications.
Selian will lead Naga to start the battle arrangement on the seabed within the Morning Flower Territory.
Louise will also start sending people to help us train new recruits.
In addition, the library has canceled all holidays and is fully engaged in research on combat effectiveness improvement and adaptive practical training.
Hisali led the guard group and began to check for deficiencies in the entire territory.
I will also discuss the further procurement of war weapons with various forces.
We are fully preparing for war, but they are still lying there not knowing what they are doing!
Not to mention anything else, the undead, demons, and swamp cave races are appearing more frequently, and the frequency of caravans being robbed while passing through the wild is increasing.
In the past month, our Free Iris caravans in some places abroad have also encountered bandits, haven't they?
This may be related to those stowaways.
But the local lord had no idea of strengthening the military and just issued a commission to suppress the bandits. "
Speaking of this matter, Chris said helplessly:
"Free Iris has begun to adjust their trade routes.
Next, they will conduct trade more conservatively.
However, the negative reactions of these lords cannot be entirely blamed on them.
They After all, we are not on the border of the Human Alliance.
If a foreign enemy invades, a continental war breaks out.
There is a high probability that they will play last.
In this case, they will inevitably have the idea of slacking off. "
Brand waved his hand and said:
"I just said it casually.
They like to be lucky and passive.
The day when those stowaways make a big move, they will cry. Okay, let’s stop talking about these troublesome things. "
At the end, Brand took out two invitations and handed them to Chris, then smiled and said:
"This morning, Claude and The Cecil family sent me an invitation.
Andy and Finn finally became magisters.
They invited me over to celebrate. Do you want to join me? "
After looking at the content of the invitation in her hand, Chris shook her head and said:
"I'll forget it. The Huangqiangwei Chamber of Commerce is moving to our Chenhua collar. I need it recently. Give Grace a platform in the territory.
The lord has been busy for so many days, so he just took this opportunity to take a good rest. "
Hearing this, Brand said helplessly:
"Catherine is preparing for promotion recently, Sister Celine and Hedilyn want to strengthen the castle defense, and Ivy is leading people to stock up on food.
If you don't go either, who will help me deal with those enthusiastic ladies? ?”
After thinking for a moment, Chris suggested:
“How about Sister Sonia? She should be free recently.
And. Your wedding has already been spread, hasn’t it?
Our North Holland family is about to marry the royal family. As our close allies, the Claude and Cecil families obviously need to move closer to the royal family.
It’s a good idea to ask Sister Sonia to accompany you this time.
In addition, as the eldest daughter of the Cecil family, Janice can also accompany you to the banquet. "
After thinking for a moment, Brand nodded reluctantly and said:
"Okay. ”
...
A few days later, in the morning, there was a wide hall in the Cecil Family Castle.
Under the auspices of Janice and other library members.
The portable teleportation circle begins to operate.
Soon, Brand and Sonia teleported over.
Seeing this, Finn and Andy, who were waiting aside, both had smiles on their faces.
After some welcome and reminiscing, Brand joked:
“I was promoted to magister quietly, I didn’t know about it until I received the invitation.
And looking at your current state, you must not have been promoted recently, right?
Are you two hiding it so well that you didn’t even tell me? ”
Hearing this, Finn said calmly:
“It’s just a promotion to Magister, what’s there to show off about?
Didn’t you complete your promotion a long time ago? You’re faster than us So much!"
Andy crossed his arms and echoed:
"Finn is right
Because you completed your promotion so early, I don’t feel any sense of accomplishment at all with this promotion.
And unlike your successful promotion this time, Finn and I both failed twice.
I just feel a little embarrassed about this!
If the elder hadn’t insisted on celebrating, I wouldn’t have wanted to tell anyone else! "
Brand said in surprise:
"Can you blame me?
Then I will tell you later after my next promotion is completed?"
Hearing this, I was about to continue teasing.
But when the words came to his lips, Andy couldn't help but frown and asked:
"When will your next promotion... be specific?"
Brand said seriously:
“How can it be so easy to be promoted to the magister stage?
I need to practice three elements.
And as a lord, my Things are so busy.
Even if I have good talent, it will be seven or eight years before I want to be promoted!”
Although Brand said this, Finn still had some doubts:
“You won’t say the month as the year like last time.
You will be promoted in seven or eight months. Are you an intermediate magister?"
While secretly surprised by Finn's intuition.
On the surface, Brand asked loudly with a surprised look on his face:
"I was promoted to mid-level magister in seven or eight months!?
Do you think I am the 'magister clan' in some biographical novel?"
Hearing this, Finn couldn't help but He scratched his head with a smile and said apologetically:
“Just kidding and it’s my fault!
Stop talking about this, Andy and I will take you around for the past two days. Take a walk.”
