The Fertile Copper Kingdom has a vast territory, but more than 90% of its land area is mountainous.
The main industry is naturally the mining industry.
This makes this kingdom mainly rely on imports of food, and the objects of trade are several other kingdoms under the control of His Highness the Black Dragon King Susial.
Speaking of which, the Black Dragon King likes to play tricks and see the tragedies and comedies of the upper class. The five kingdoms it controls often complement each other in terms of resources, thus closely linking the economic and cultural aspects of the middle and lower classes.
The currencies, legal systems, and weights and measures of the five countries were all unified more than two hundred years ago.
With the calls of a few heroes who followed the trend, more than two hundred tax collection gates, large and small, in the five countries were cut one by one, allowing the commercial and trade activities in the five countries to flourish unprecedentedly.
If the interests of the upper echelons of the five countries were not too entangled, they might not even be of the same race, and His Highness Susial, the Black Dragon King, was deliberately intervening to stop it.
Perhaps in these more than a hundred years, under ideal conditions, a large empire composed of five kingdoms would be born in the east of the Qianyu Empire?
…………
Late at night, in the palace of the Wotong Kingdom.
Wo Hui, the king of the gray dwarves, was woken up by his entourage and impatiently climbed up from the queen's beautiful body that was as hard and cold as steel.
After putting on his clothes, Wo Hui put on his bronze crown and walked to the living room, where he saw the serious-looking Minister of Finance waiting for him.
Like other kingdoms, the Finance Minister of the Fertile Copper Kingdom is also appointed by a human being.
It seems that only intelligent humans have the patience to complete those tedious mathematical homework and get the results.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince has encountered a big disaster this time!" The finance minister shouted when he saw Wo Hui, the king of gray dwarves, approaching and bowed in salute.
"ha?"
Wo Hui, the king of the gray dwarves, twitched his face and waved his hand: "Did my son do anything wrong? To prevent the giant's influence from infiltrating the Wo Copper Kingdom, it is a decision made by the Five Nations Alliance together!"
The Minister of Finance smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "That's right, but they shouldn't be detained, and those supplies should be confiscated!"
"I heard that the giants from the Canyon of the Gods are very protective of their shortcomings. Once they have an excuse, they will be unreasonable and push forward!"
"This time, our Fertile Copper Kingdom has given the other party an excuse. Isn't it possible that the other party will become a target for the other party's forces to infiltrate into our five-nation region?"
"No way..." Wo Hui, the king of the gray dwarves, showed a hint of worry. He then remembered the wonderful taste of the Erguotou sent by his son. He shook his head and said, "Didn't you say that the Xini Empire was in chaos and that there was an invasion from another continent?"
"Then the giant dares to come to the great guardian, His Highness the Black Dragon King, to express his displeasure at this time?"
"Besides, our Fertile Copper Kingdom is not like those lost dogs in the wilderness! We are a real country where dwarves are nobles!"
"We, the Fertile Copper Kingdom, will never surrender easily in front of giants!"
The king of the gray dwarves, Wo Hui, deliberately showed great arrogance so that his subordinates would have confidence, but the finance minister was uneasy.
I was always worried that the giant would come to trouble me and others regardless of the threat from the Sydney Empire.
As for the reason, the Minister of Finance knows it clearly... The enemy is strong and we are weak. Who doesn't know that the giant likes to bully the weak the most?
Then who can guarantee that His Highness the Black Dragon King is really willing to fight against that giant for the sake of a royal family?
Due to the communication problems in this world and the different circles among the top powers.
The forces in the hands of the Black Dragon King do not yet know that the bumpkin giant from the Canyon of the Gods in their eyes has recently been promoted to an official wizard.
He has also become a summoner of elemental creatures, and with the help of the rare world wonders and the portable space, he can summon a large number of elemental creatures as tall as giants at once to bully the few.
And in the desert of the Xini Empire, this giant has already revealed its sharp fangs, so that the top power Hunter Guild in the mainland had to admit defeat, and even reluctantly gave up the world's rare treasure, the Starry Night Treasure Tree!
If the dignitaries of the Fertile Copper Kingdom had known this in advance, perhaps they would have been more tactful when dealing with those caravans, right?
However... after Xiao Yu collected from the black guards that the gray dwarves of the Fertile Bronze Kingdom had special talents that could strengthen bronze metal.
Their fate is sealed!
Not this time, it will be the next time.
Perhaps, this is what is often called the crime of cherishing a treasure?
It's just that these gray dwarves and the powerful people of the Fertile Copper Kingdom obviously don't know this, and they all underestimated the importance that the giant attached to them!
Not long after the night talk between the gray dwarf king Wo Hui and the finance minister ended.
A black crow broke through the air defense barrier of the capital of Wotong King and landed in front of the palace.
The black crow transformed into a black-robed wizard and showed off the elite badge of the Hunter Guild, preventing the gray dwarf guards and royal wizards who came from all around from taking action immediately.
Bang!
The palace gate opened, and several metal puppet swordsmen made of bronze about ten meters high strode out, causing the floor beneath everyone's feet to tremble slightly.
"The bronze puppet giants of the Fertile Copper Kingdom are forged with reinforced bronze metal and equipped with anti-magic tattoo technology. Each one is a big killer on the battlefield!"
"Now it seems...it looks really good!"
The black crow wizard said calmly: "What a pity."
"Are you the Black Crow of the Hunter Guild?"
After the bronze puppet giant swordsman opened the way, a gray dwarf noble came over and asked with a frown.
"Yes, I'm from the Hunter Guild."
"Even the Hunters Guild can't break into the palace at night... What's your reason?"
The gray dwarf noble narrowed his eyes and hesitated before asking.
From this point of view, we can already understand that gray dwarves are much more worldly than those mountain dwarves.
If it were another dwarf who broke into the palace at night, no matter what the reason for your visit, wouldn't he have been snarling and arrested first?
"I'm from the Hunter Guild, so naturally I came here because of the commission."
The black crow wizard said this, smiled bitterly, raised his staff, and concentrated his magic power.
The gray dwarf guards all around raised their weapons. Fortunately, the royal wizards were knowledgeable and knew that this was not a gathering of witchcraft attacks and quickly stopped them.
Then they saw a phantom appear on the staff.
Many gray dwarves have only seen this phantom from portraits, wearing strange leather armor and a strange fully enclosed metal helmet.
He is tall, and his body shape is obviously the same as that of the human race, but... he is taller than ordinary people can imagine!
Even though the projection of the Black Crow Wizard has shrunk to only eighteen meters high.
The gray dwarves who were looking up couldn't help but become commotion after recognizing that this was the giant in the Canyon of the Gods.
The Minister of Finance, who was leaving the palace in a carriage, saw the strange movement and the rising figure at the entrance of the palace. After taking a deep breath of air-conditioning, he quickly used the communication rune to contact his compatriots!
After this phantom from Xiao Yu appeared, he announced his purpose of coming!
In order to protect the lives and safety of the people of the City of Miracles and the sacred property from being violated.
In order to fulfill the duty of the protector of the kingdom, we must protect every citizen of the kingdom.
In order for justice to be done in this continent!
He...the great protector of many kingdoms and the Lord of the City of Miracles!
He will personally lead the army to attack the unjust royal family of the Fertile Copper Kingdom and those decadent gray dwarf nobles!
In order not to say that we were unforeseen, we hereby entrust the Hunter Guild to send someone to inform you!
"I knew it……"
"Things always turn out for the worst!"
The giant's voice was so loud that most of the royal capital of the Fertile Copper Kingdom had already heard this announcement, which was equivalent to a declaration of war.
The finance minister on the carriage closed his eyes in pain and shed a few tears silently.
Immediately he picked up the communication magic stone and said: "Notify all the chambers of commerce under my name to evacuate the royal capital immediately."
"All properties are sold immediately."
"Yes!" The voices of stewards from various places came from the communication magic stone.
"Sir, you won't get a good price if you do this. Are you too hasty?" A confidant hesitated and asked.
"Too urgent?"
The Finance Minister sneered: "Why do you think the giant entrusted the famous Black Crow Wizard to declare war?"
"this……"
"It's because of time!"
The Minister of Finance said: "I am nine-level sure that the time when the Black Crow Wizard declares war is when the giant leads his army to the border of the Fertile Copper Kingdom!"
The confidant was shocked and immediately said: "Isn't it possible? Do they want to cross the thousands of miles of fields of Qianyu Empire?"
"This is what I don't know." The Finance Minister said this.
Immediately, he learned a piece of news from his own intelligence channel that made his heart beat faster!
In a salt field near the sea in the Fertile Copper Kingdom, countless steel fleets appeared!
And a sworn spy said that he saw a giant standing like a hill on the bow of the warship that was several hundred meters long!
Everyone below thought it was a mirage, but the Finance Minister smiled bitterly and whispered:
"They don't need to cross the Qianyu Empire."
"Without our knowledge, the giant already had a huge fleet, and now he is using this fleet to cross the sea!"
"Sell it quickly before the news leaks out! Sell them all!"
The Finance Minister said this, thought for a while, and took off his official hat and badge.
Then he didn't go home and went directly to the guild hall where his faction gathered. After contacting relatives and friends, they went to the secret passage together to prepare to leave the capital of the Fertile Copper Kingdom!
The Minister of Finance is not alone!
After the Black Crow Wizard brought the giant's declaration of war, the major chambers of commerce also responded, all busy reducing losses in the upcoming war.
At this time, there is naturally no shortage of speculators taking over.
Naturally, what they were betting on was that the giants would not dare to offend the Black Dragon King, and the most they could do was demonstrate outside the capital of the Wotong King!
Wo Hui, the king of gray dwarves, his face was as black as coal at this time. After beating and scolding the eldest prince, he had to lament.
Declare the royal capital to be in a state of war readiness.
And sent his youngest son to go to the palace of the great Black Dragon King overnight.
Chapter completed!
