Time passed quickly unknowingly. After the short autumn, the harsh winds once again roared back to the vast ice fields in the south. And at the same time as the cold winter came to the southern continent of Antagrich, there was also the battle of Bracadane
The ruthless horn broke out because just a week ago, the last peace negotiation between the South and the North ended in helpless failure.
No one is looking forward to war. However, when the southern representatives resolutely announced the formal secession from the Union at the negotiating table, a huge war that is about to sweep across the entire ice sheet will no longer be avoided. Whether it is southerners or northerners,
, they will fight to the end for their own interests and dignity, until the other party completely fails and surrenders.
Only on the third day after the conclusion of the South-North negotiations, the northern city-states jointly signed a regional offensive and defensive alliance agreement, known in history as the "Northern Bracada Human Convention."
In this "Convention", the city lords in the north unanimously determined that at the critical moment when the Brakada Federation faced disintegration and separation, the people of Northern Brakada would have to take up arms and use force against the "Convention" in the south.
"Thieves and bandits" to implement the quelling the rebellion. Yes, "thieves and bandits", this is the latest name given by the northern regime to the southern separatists. In order to attack the southern thieves and bandits more effectively and more severely, all the northern city-states in the Convention will
Form a powerful "Allied Army" and march to the Southland to fight in a unified way.
Correspondingly, the city-states in the south, with the goblins as the main body, soon formed a new "South Brakada Alliance" to fight against the shameless interference of the evil "thugs" in the north. At the same time, they were also in the southern ice field.
The Giants and Nagas jointly issued an announcement, claiming that they would support the independence cause advocated by the goblins to a limited extent and would intervene in future civil wars at the appropriate time.
At this point, the great civil war that had never happened in Brakada for thousands of years finally slowly began.
In one month, it will be Brakada’s annual New Year, but the lively atmosphere of the past festival celebrations has long been lost in Azurite City. Everyone, all departments, and all industrial and commercial lines are preparing for the inevitable.
Make crazy preparations to avoid war.
Since a large amount of food, steel, and clothing were purchased by the government as strategic materials, the prices of daily necessities in Azurite City have risen sharply for a period of time. A pound of the most common white bread has increased from half a silver coin to one to one and a half.
Silver coins. And the selling price of meat has directly doubled several times. Under such circumstances, many poor families have begun to reduce their daily meals, changing the original three meals to two meals in the morning and evening. Or even only have
A meal.
Fortunately, such a bad situation did not last for too long. After various aspects reported the situation in the city, the city lord's palace immediately made corresponding adjustments and changes. Through the newly established "Wartime Management Department", Blue Crystal City
Bread, meat products, cloth and other basic living supplies were sold to the public every day at low prices based on quantity and quantity. At the same time, the city defense army frequently dispatched, arresting some businessmen who deliberately or "deliberately" raised market prices, and seized a
Approval of shops. In this way, the lives of civilians were maintained at the most basic level, and they "vented their anger" in a timely manner. Finally, the social order in Blue Crystal City was stabilized again.
"Morty. The total income of the studio this month is about 25,000 gold coins. After deducting the cost of materials and the salary of the craftsmen, the remaining profit is about 18,000 gold coins." Heina leaned against Moriarty gently.
Next to him, he pointed to an exquisite account book on his lap and explained slowly.
Different from those shops that were hit hard by the city lord's government and even singled out "innocent" to quell people's anger. During the war, the alchemy studio was the object of key care and protection. Even if the studio continued to make war wealth unscrupulously and make crazy money
For gold coins, those in power will only applaud and encourage them to keep up their efforts. Because every time the alchemy studio makes a profit of a gold coin, it means that it has produced and provided another piece of valuable war "material" for the people in power.
The final victory accumulated another rare point of strength.
Moreover, the current account books of Earth Studio still show a profit rate of only 200%. For the nature of its business as a military product manufacturer, it is really not excessive. If possible, the city lord
The government hopes that Moriarty can devote all his efforts to the production and processing of alchemical products to accept more orders from Azurite City. Unfortunately, Moriarty is now the commander of the Blue Mage Corps' guard squadron, so at least in the
Before the end of the war, most of his energy would be involved in the military direction.
"Have all the previous orders been delivered?" Moriarty did not take the account book from his fiancee's hand, but just hugged Heyna's shoulders and asked.
"Well, Lord Lille's potion set was delivered the day before yesterday. As for General Cruyff's magic dagger, Adjutant Hiram came to the studio this morning, hoping to place an additional two batches of orders with us.
Because you were not there at the time, I did not reply to him immediately." Haiyana said softly.
"You did the right thing." Moriarty nodded, and then held his fiancée in his arms: "I will personally talk to Adjutant Hiram about the magic dagger."
"Two batches, are they too many? You..." Heyana looked at Moriarty with some worry and said.
"It's a lot. But the general's face must always be given." Moriarty smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I will pay attention to my work and rest arrangements."
"I wish I could help you..." Looking into her fiancé's eyes, Heyana couldn't help but step forward and kiss the corner of his lips, then pressed her body tightly into Moriarty's arms.
"Haha, you have helped me a lot. Moreover, you have now mastered the refining process of healing potions, and you can be regarded as an alchemist. If you hadn't been there for Lille's order this time, I would have had to do it.
Postponed.”
I don’t know if it comes from Schmidt’s genetic talent, but Heyana quietly learned the art of preparing healing potions two months ago, which is supposed to be enough to advance to the first level alchemist. However, this matter is currently limited to Moriarty.
Both of them knew it, and even Schmidt was "kept in the dark".
"But..." Hearing Moriarty's words, Heyana wanted to say something else, but was kissed by the other party and could no longer speak.
After only staying in the Olympus Gardens for two hours and having dinner with Hyena, Moriarty returned to the guard squadron camp.
These days, the squadron's battle formation training has entered a critical stage. Every night, officers from each squadron and company will be summoned to the squadron commander's office to work with Moriarty, White and Clausewitz to solve problems and problems that arise.
Improvement measures were discussed openly and fairly. Although no one except Moriarty was accustomed to this too civilian military management method at first, even the old werewolf who most wanted to be given a platform to fully develop believed that the superior officers were so "equal"
Communication with his subordinates was often even refuted by his subordinates, which would lose his identity and prestige, and was seriously inconsistent with the mainland's military tradition. However, in the end, Moriarty used his authority as squadron leader to forcefully implement this special internal policy.
Communication system. Gradually over the past few months, the officer system of the guard squadron seemed to have become accustomed to and even liked this equal communication mechanism, so much so that one night they did not reveal each other's shortcomings and expose each other's weaknesses in the squadron leader's office.
After making a lot of noise, several officers could not sleep peacefully.
Among them, the most quarrelsome ones were Margaret and Guderian, and intermittent fighting scenes often broke out. Occasionally, Gustav, who had greatly restrained his temper, could not help but participate in it. On the contrary,
White, who had always been hostile to Beamon, gradually became accustomed to communicating calmly with Clausewitz. Although most of their conversations started and ended with conflicts, Moriarty could see that White truly understood
The old werewolf had excellent military qualities and abilities as a staff officer, and planned to learn as much as possible from the other party. Of course, Clausewitz had already noticed this, but he did not feel dissatisfied.
However, when Moriarty returned to the squadron, he saw a noisy and chaotic scene in the camp. I don’t know what happened, but half of the squadron’s soldiers were fully armed, and with Margaret and Guderian
The leader was arguing loudly with White who was blocking the camp gate.
"What's going on?" Moriarty strode to the middle of the two parties, glanced around slowly, and asked coldly.
"Your Excellency, squadron leader, Captain Margaret and Captain Guderian attempted to lead their men out of the camp to cause trouble, but I have stopped them." White immediately reported to Moriarty with a military salute.
"What's the crime for leading troops out of the camp without my order?" Moriarty turned his head, stared at the werewolf woman and the silver-bearded dwarf, and asked fiercely.
"Just now, our squadron's equipment was robbed, so..." Facing Moriarty's gaze, Guderian couldn't help but lowered his head slightly and argued hard.
"Gustav was also injured by the city defense troops. We are going to take revenge!" On the other hand, Margaret did not avoid the sight of the squadron leader and shouted directly.
"Grab equipment? Gustave?" Moriarty frowned and turned to look at White.
"In the afternoon, the Ordnance Department notified us to pick up new-style camping tents, so I sent Gustav there. Unexpectedly, on the way back, we encountered the Saluman Brigade of the city defense army..." White nodded and said calmly.
vocal tract.
"Saruman? Is that Gustav's former superior officer?"
"Yes, that's him. He belongs to General Miguel. I heard he is a strong general with the same name as Mr. Lille. However, his reputation within the city defense army is not good. He has a bad reputation of being jealous of talents and talents, and he is very narrow-minded.
.”
"How about Gustav?" Moriarty nodded.
"The injury is serious. He is being treated in the camp, but it is not serious." White paused and then added in a low voice: "It is not easy. In this conflict, Gustav did not take action."
"...I understand." Moriarty took a deep breath, and then turned to the surrounding squadron soldiers and said: "Now, I order everyone to disband and return to camp. If you disobey, you will be severely punished!"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
It seemed that this was the first time they saw Moriarty's angry face, and everyone in the guard squadron couldn't help but feel a "thump" in their hearts. No one, including Margaret, dared to say a word, and silently dispersed back to the barracks. Please.
