Philip expressed his intention to come. It turned out that he hoped that the Chamber of Commerce could establish branches in the towns he managed. He also discovered the benefits that the Chamber of Commerce's huge resources could bring.

Even if he is just a lord of a borderland, if he can get the support of the Chamber of Commerce, he can occupy a place in the Eastern Kingdom and even support himself with troops!

The resources of the Chamber of Commerce include almost all necessary resources for wars. Soon, Xuan Fang will be sure that the Chamber of Commerce will become the largest economic lifeline of the entire Eastern Kingdom, and then the room for maneuver will be even greater.

"What about the conditions? Or... what can you bring me?" Xuan Fang looked at Phillip, saying, "What are you doing with nothing?" You must be thinking too much. His goal is not just these resources.

Everything he is doing now is a strategy based on the current situation of the Eastern Kingdom. As long as he completes the final deployment, he will at least be able to control the economic lifeline and even the political power of the Eastern Kingdom without any bloodshed!

Although local lords like Philip are the targets of his support, they are not irreplaceable. There are many nobles in a kingdom, and it does not necessarily have to be tall among the short ones, but they must be able to control them.

Philip, who is too smart, is good for doing things, but not suitable for control. He is too tired unless he has enough value or proves his worth.

"This..." Philip already had a deep understanding of Xuan Fang's difficulty. He smiled bitterly and said, "Our Graylat family has many connections, and we may be able to bring some help to the Chamber of Commerce."

"Tell me more details."

"Orcs, as well as families in various countries in the Eastern Federation who have maintained contact with us more than ten years ago, are also the same today. In addition..." Philip hesitated when he said this, did not continue, and even looked at each other.

A bit dodgey.

"There are also demons." Xuan Fang looked at him and suddenly said lightly.

"Gulu..." Philip's eyes widened a bit, looking at Xuan Fang in disbelief, and the tall figure beside him subconsciously changed his posture.

As a swordsman, Xuan Fang can feel that the opponent's Qi has been faintly locked onto him. If he launches an attack from that position, he can maximize the power of the slash instantly, but it requires extremely high physical fitness.

It is not impossible for an ordinary swordsman to explode within a short distance. Changing the breathing efficiency can even force the explosion of potential, but doing so will cause a huge burden on the body, and even... directly seriously injure oneself.

Such a decisive guy, and very strong. Xuan Fang already guessed 70% to 80% of this guy's identity.

"These alone are enough for the Eastern Kingdom to confiscate your little lord's home and exterminate your clan." Xuan Fang calmly took a sip of tea and watched the other person raise his hand to stop the people around him before continuing: "But you are very courageous.

, being an enemy of people like you will do me no good if I can’t kill you.”

To be precise, they cannot be killed completely, and even if they are all killed, there will be no benefit. These intricate local snake families can endure for a long time even if the kingdom changes.

To put it bluntly, they are the foundation that supports the operation of a kingdom. The complex and intertwined interest network is enough for them to influence the rise and fall of a kingdom. What Xuan Fang wants is the resources that these people... control.

"I sincerely cooperate with your Chamber of Commerce, please..."

"I agree. The Land of Elves will cooperate with you alone. I will account for 70% of the profits. It should be no problem, right? If you want to barter, I can also accept it."

Without waiting for Phillip to continue, Xuan Fang directly decided to cooperate, and he also thought about the cooperation process and showed his sincerity.

"I will send a team here to be responsible for the exchange of caravans. In addition, I only need 20%. I wonder if the resources can be the same as those of the kingdom? Especially the weapons of the Elf Land..."

Philip means to provide them with weapons as a priority like the kingdom. This guy is very ambitious.

Although the weapons made by dwarves are cold weapons, it does not mean that dwarves cannot make hot weapons. Except for some weapons that require complex chemical reactions, other weapons can basically be made with just a blueprint.

The reason why I don't do it is because ordinary missiles and cannons are not necessarily stronger than magic, and ordinary armor cannot block magic attacks, but the armor made by dwarves can withstand some of it.

That's why the king of the Eastern Kingdom cares so much about these weapons, but he doesn't care much about the fine wine and treasures that can easily fetch sky-high prices in auction houses.

Philip is also a smart man. He knows which of these things have the most practical value, and the 20% profit. If the cost of mobilizing resources and connections is removed, I am afraid that he will not get even 10% in the end.

But as long as the cooperation is achieved, he will have more than just resources. I am afraid that his family will take a step forward as a result.

"The appetite is not small." Xuan Fang frowned. This guy must know the terms he negotiated with the king. As the entire Eastern Federation was once the largest kingdom.

Although it is now disintegrated, the Eastern Kingdom is still the strongest kingdom around it. If you give it ten years, it won't even take that long, and the surrounding kingdoms will probably be annexed.

At this time, the Eastern Kingdom may be transformed into an empire. This is also the biggest reason why he came here. Only during this special period can he have the opportunity to use a large amount of resources to leverage the foundation of this rising empire.

But now that Philip has joined in the fun, he may have secretly started to influence the surrounding kingdoms. No matter who wins, his family will benefit from it.

"Okay." Xuan Fang finally nodded. If you have a bigger appetite, just be bigger. The magic potions and gems sent from Stannia Kingdom are almost piled up, so you might as well get rid of them.

As for whether he will endanger the enemy, Xuan Fang is not worried. The expansion of Dark Night is to cope with all unexpected situations, including the possible outbreak of war...

"This is my guard, Kirenu. She will stay in the royal capital for the time being. If you don't mind, she will follow to the Elf Land to help escort the first batch of supplies. This is my sincerity."

"Are you asking a great swordsman to be your guard? You are indeed interested." Xuan Fang waved casually, and a figure appeared in the shadow beside him, saying: "This person will be responsible for your safety during this period, so it should be fine.

.”

It is said that it is sincerity, but in fact it is a mixture of truth and falsehood. The fist is not strong enough, and no matter how much you say, it is in vain.

Philip's words have another meaning. Showing his fist shows that he is qualified enough to cooperate with the Elf Country and is sincere. Xuan Fang's answer has the same meaning.

The tall figure next to Phillip also took off the hood on his head at this time. The first thing Xuan Fang noticed was the pair of obvious animal ears and the gray cat tail emerging from under the cloak. His right eye was covered by an eyepatch.

The name half-orcs is just to distinguish them from orcs. After all, there is still a big difference between the two. Strictly speaking, orcs are actually not related to humans.

On the contrary, except for the ears and tail, half-orcs have different bodies from humans, and their appearance is closer to humans.

"Of course, thank you, Your Excellency." Philip was not angry, and was even happy to see this happen.

His purpose is to achieve cooperation. This first batch of supplies is of extraordinary significance. As long as it is successfully delivered to his territory, it will be considered complete, so he will not hesitate to send his own guards to escort it in person.

As for the people Xuan Fang sent to him, he was not afraid, because he believed that Xuan Fang could see that he was far more valuable alive than dead.

However, his courage is also something Xuan Fang appreciates. This kind of person is definitely more capable of accomplishing things than some rats.

…

A few days later, Xuan Fang finished handling the situation here, leaving a group of half-elves and orcs to continue running the chamber of commerce, and left with a few people, returning to the land of elves.

Buzz!

Xuan Fang waved his hand and put the mountains of metal and various treasures in front of him into the system space. Only the system space could store so many things.

There are not many ordinary magicians who are good at space magic, and there are even fewer magicians who are good at powerful space magic.

"What a powerful space magic!" Kirennu, who was following the team, stared, a little surprised. She was a great swordsman. Although she didn't know magic, she must have fought against many magicians.

"You should put on the cloak from before." Xuan Fang sighed.

Kirenu is indeed not weak, and it seems that the right eye with the eyepatch is not blind, but a martial arts she has practiced. Once it is taken off, her strength will further increase.

But there was one thing about Cyrennu that gave him a headache. Her clothes were... too revealing.

Except for two pieces that look more like armor covering a small part of the chest, the upper body only has a piece of animal skin, which is almost the same as breasts, revealing the exaggerated six-pack abs, and the lower body is a long piece of coarse cloth...

pants.

At least for normal people, they would definitely be considered trousers. For her, they only reached the calves, and they also had obvious muscle lines.
