If we say that during the plane wars, the lords from all over the Green Empire suffered losses to varying degrees, but it was the lords of the Western Knight Alliance who made a windfall from the war because of the frequent outbreaks of plane wars in the past few years.

A large area of land in the western province of the Green Empire is fertile pasture, where the best scale horses are raised.
For so many years, the Green Empire has been famous in the Roland continent for its cavalry.
Now, because war horses have become a scarce resource, the lords of the western provinces are even more demanding, and the price of war horses is also constantly increasing.
In the horse market, a decent Gubo war horse costs about twenty gold coins, and if it is a high-quality war horse, the price will be higher.
In the Green Empire, scaled horses are considered a military management resource, and even nobles cannot easily buy scaled horses.
The blue-scale horses in Surdak's Constructed Knights were also captured from the McDonnell family during the battle in the Ganbu plane. The number is extremely limited, and Surdak also plans to use it in Sai Norman
They were raised as stallions on the plateau.
So Surdak did not bring all the blue scale horses to the Construct Knights.
When he came to Epsom City this time, he originally wanted to buy a black-scaled horse if he could. If he couldn't buy a black-scaled horse, even a green-scaled horse would be fine.
Marquis Yves Kim told him that as long as he paid a sufficient price, even black-scaled horses that were scarce in the market could be negotiated, so Suldak's heart suddenly came to life.
"The price is..."
Suldak thought for a while, since the nobles in the Western Knights Alliance had no shortage of gold and magic crystals, they had to come up with something special.
"Marquis Yves Kim, do you want to know how our Western Route Army defeated those evil ghosts on the highlands of Moyunling?"
Surdak leaned on the chair and asked casually.
Marquis Yves Kim opened his eyes, stared at Suldak very seriously, and said, "Of course!" Yang
"As we all know, if the Empire's heavy armored infantry regiment and the Evil Ghost Legion fought on a frontal battlefield, the heavy armored infantry would have almost no advantage against the menacing Evil Ghost. In the past, the heavy armored infantry regiment's biggest role on the battlefield was to act as cannon fodder."
Suldak said unceremoniously.
"At present, our West Route Army has entered the Moyunling Highlands. It cannot be denied that we have a more powerful cannon fodder regiment. In addition, I have a new type of magical alchemy product in my hand - explosive barrels."
Suldak once again launched the sales promotion mode and introduced these powder barrels to Marquis Yves Kim.
I believe that if he had paid any attention to the Moyunling battlefield, he would have heard about these powder barrels.
It was not as good as the battle on the banks of the Inn River, which completely made the Western Route Army's monster legion and mage regiment famous. Among them, the ghostly patterned soldier ants in the monster legion could not be copied, but the mage regiment was not difficult to form.
After hearing Suldak's very detailed introduction to the power of the gunpowder barrel, which was actually used in conjunction with the mage group, Marquis Yves Kim suddenly realized that this thing could still be used in this way.
"This tactic has not yet been widely used by various lord armies on the battlefield. First of all, there are not many lord armies with mage groups. Secondly, fire phosphorus bombs cannot be manufactured in large quantities. If fire phosphorus bombs are used, the cost should be very high... But
These powder barrels can be produced in large quantities right now," continued Suldak. Young
"Is this powder keg prepared using alchemy?" asked Marquis Yves Kim.
"That's right!"
"This kind of powder keg is not as powerful as a phosphorus bomb?" Marquis Yves Kim asked again.
Surdak said: "Well, it is slightly less powerful than the fire phosphorus bomb, but as long as a larger quantity is invested on the battlefield at one time, it can produce unexpected effects. In addition, if you want to attack the evil ghost army
To drop barrels of gunpowder from the military formation, we need to form a mage regiment."
Seeing that Marquis Yves Kim was still hesitant, Suldak said again:
"In addition, I can also provide a batch of healing potions. Although this kind of healing potion is very different from the healing potion, it can also effectively accelerate wound healing."
As he spoke, Surdak took out a box of plaster made by the druids from his magic pocket. This dark brown paste looked a bit like refined grease. Marquis Yves Kim stretched out his hand.
He took some out of the box with his index finger and put it under his nose to smell it. A pungent herbal smell made him frown. Yang
"How to use this?" Marquis Yves Kim asked.
"It can be applied directly to the wound, but it won't have much effect on serious injuries such as intestinal puncture and abdominal rot. It can only speed up the healing of some skin wounds and avoid infection," Suldak explained.
"Can this thing really speed up wound healing?" Marquis Yves Kim asked.
Therapeutic medicines are scarce supplies for any legion in the Green Empire. If the ointment offered by Suldak really has a therapeutic effect, it would be difficult for Marquis Yves Kim to refuse it.
"You can try it on a few injured warriors now." Suldak said, "If you think it is effective, I will provide you with this kind of treatment medicine."
Marquis Yves Kim's eyes lit up. He took the box of ointment handed over by Suldak and said cheerfully:
"Okay, your conditions impressed me, when can we do the transaction?" Yang
Suldak thought for a moment and then said:
"When I return from visiting relatives in Bena Province, which will be about two months later, I hope that I can return to the Moyunling Highlands with 1,500 black-scaled horses. I will also prepare a batch of these
Treatment ointment, don’t worry about the price of this treatment medicine. The production cost of this type of medicine is very low, and the price of such a box of plaster will definitely not be higher than that of a magic crystal."
Marquis Yves Kim looked happy and said: "It's a deal, I will also trade these black scale horses to you at the average market price."
After a conversation, the two quickly reached a deal.
Marquis Yves Kim also planned to invite Suldak to dinner, but Suldak rejected Marquis Yves Kim's invitation because he had another invitation.
Marquis Yves Kim originally only planned to establish a military alliance with the Western Route Army to jointly fight against the Evil Ghost Army on the plane of Warsaw. He was actually optimistic about the future potential of the Western Route Army. If the battle in the Moyunling Highlands could be
Ending it early, he hoped that Suldak's Western Route Army would appear on the battlefield of the Kemperto River.
It's just that she didn't expect that Commander Surdak really had something in his hands that could make his heart beat. Yang
Although he still established a military alliance with Surdak's Western Route Army, he had to think carefully before proposing any additional conditions.
Healing potions and black-scaled horses are both scarce materials on the battlefield. Although the two cannot be exchanged directly, this kind of complementary transaction can still bring mutual benefit to both parties.
Of course, this will give the Western Knights Alliance a powerful ally, and conversely, the same is true for Surdak.
The Western Knights Alliance has an extremely large army in the Warsaw plane, but the Western Route Army has also achieved great success in the Warsaw plane, and neither of them suffers.
This time, Marquis Yves Kim not only made friends, but also sold a batch of black-scaled horses. He seemed to be in a very good mood, and even made an exception to treat Suldak to a glass of champagne.
Surdak was also very happy. To the lords of the empire, the Construct Knights with black scale horses were the real Construct Knights, and other mounts could only be regarded as miscellaneous Construct Knights.
With this batch of black scale horses, Surdak also plans to purchase another batch of magic pattern constructs and continue to expand the construct knights. Yang
…
After reaching a preliminary transaction intention with Marquis Yves Kim, Suldak stayed at the Maple Leaf Hotel for one night, declined the kind invitations of some noble lords in Epsom City, and successfully passed the agreement at noon the next day.
Go to the portal in the central square and return to the Ivorson province of Roland continent.
The Bussman family has ruled the Ivorson province for hundreds of years. Following a series of wrong decisions by Duke Ryan Bussman, the Warsaw Plane War has consumed the most elite lord army of the Bussman family. Currently,
This can be regarded as the period when the Bussmann family's dominance was at its weakest.
The city has become a lot depressed because of this. Although many shops on the street are open, there are not many customers.
No matter what, the economic situation of Ivorson City is much better than that of Epsom City. In fact, it is more like a huge material transit place. Trading firms from all over the world transport supplies to Ivorson City.
Join forces with the local business group, and then these materials will be transported to the Warsaw plane one after another.
Of course, this process is extremely long, as long as the reason is that the portal leading to the Warsaw plane is too busy.
The army comes in and out of the portal almost every day, and the military's supplies also take up a large part of the time. As for the nobles and civilians waiting to return to the Green Empire in Epsom City, there are almost 200,000 so far.
The crowd. Yang
Therefore, even if the portal in Ivolson City transmits 24 hours a day and night, based on the current backlog of supplies in Ivorson City, it will take at least three months to transport them all to the Warsaw plane...
Surdak did not stay in this city.
To him, Ivorson City is a strange and malicious city.
He didn't want to have anything to do with the Bussman family, so after walking out of the teleportation gate, Suldak took a magic caravan directly to the teleportation hall of Ivorson City...
If he had known that the portal in the Warsaw plane was only one street away from the Astrologer's Guild teleportation hall, he might have chosen to walk over.
It's really not that far... He got into the magic caravan and hurriedly got off the carriage before he even had a chance to appreciate some of the scenery in Ivorson.
The teleportation hall of the Astrologers' Guild was built in the most prosperous business district in the city. It was surrounded by large buildings such as the Opera House, Arena, Auction House, etc. When Surdak got off the carriage, he also saw Ivo.
Wilson City Hall. Young
This avenue may be the most spacious street in the city. The magic caravan was parked on the roadside. Surdak paid the coachman a silver coin and walked towards the teleportation hall.
There are only two teleportation circles in the teleportation hall of the Astrologer's Guild, and these teleportation circles are only open to nobles. After Surdak walked into the teleportation hall, he found that only a few nobles were queuing in front of the counter.
The teleportation hall was very quiet, and everyone would lower their voices even if they were talking.
There are only two teleportation arrays in the east and west. The teleportation gate is more like a mirror the size of a room door. Compared with the magnificent plane teleportation gate, the teleportation array here seems too simple.
Surdak paid the transmission fee of twenty magic crystals in front of the counter...
The cost is so high that it is almost shocking.
The cost of one teleportation really made Surdak feel a little heartbroken. However, he had inquired about the price before coming, so he was not too surprised. He just couldn't believe that the Astrologer's Guild set the teleportation fee at such a high price.
It's so high, so who would normally ride on this thing... Yang
The high cost of teleportation was also the main reason why he did not bring a follower.
In addition, there is no direct teleportation circle from Ivorson City to Bena City. Surdak needs to teleport from Ivorson City to the Imperial Capital, and then from the Imperial Capital to Bena City.
However, this time when he arrived in the imperial capital, Surdak had to make a short stop to purchase a magic pattern structure from a trading firm. It was said that this trading firm had a great background and had some relationship with the Angel Boulder royal family.
For this small teleportation circle, the passage in the space rift is very stable. Surdak walked out of the teleportation gate without feeling any discomfort.
In addition, when he walked out of the mirror-like teleportation door, the sight in front of him also shocked him. In a huge teleportation hall, there were more than fourteen teleportation arrays standing there, almost every teleportation array.
In front of them stood a magician in robes.
When Surdak walked out of the teleportation circle, he saw that the magician in front of him was smiling and greeted him cordially:
"Welcome to the imperial capital..." Yang
Although the teleportation hall here does not seem crowded, there are still long lines of nobles coming in and out to take the teleportation gate...
It really deserves to be an imperial capital. There are so many rich people here, Suldak thought as he walked.
He did not immediately transfer to the next teleportation circle to return to Bena City, but walked out of the teleportation hall...
There are countless grand buildings outside the teleportation hall. Those tall buildings line both sides of the street. They are not comparable to those in Ivorson City or Bena City. The streets outside the teleportation hall are crowded with all kinds of gorgeous magic caravans.
But these are not what shocked Surdak the most...
Surdak stood at the door of the teleportation hall, raised his head and looked up at the sky of the imperial city. There was a magnificent palace floating in the sky above the city.
Suldak was so shocked by the grand scene in front of him that his heartbeat was speeding up... Yang
Moreover, he also saw some knights flying on griffons in the sky, which made him even more envious.
