Adrian and his Solar Storm Leader, who won a small-scale high-intensity war, were not able to enjoy the joy of being victors too much, because the final result of salvaging the loot made people a little unhappy. They went out to get a few magic crystals.
Apart from cannons, the Blood and Bone Pirates have really implemented the Starry way of life to the end. They are definitely not poor, they are really very poor.
Although the value of several magic crystal cannons is about 5,000 magic crystals, which is more than enough to make up for the war consumption, the account cannot be calculated like this. The consumption of magic crystals in the war cannot be calculated alone. Adrian and the Solar Storm leader suffered
The losses suffered were far more than that, because in order to annihilate this group of bloody pirates, and because he could not suffer too much infrastructure losses in the war, Adrian not only carefully formulated tactics, but also
The development of the general territory also stagnated for a long time.
Therefore, this magic crystal cannon worth five thousand magic crystals is still far from enough to make up for Adrian's losses. Even Adrian himself has never had such a longing, because war is a waste of money.
Still burning money in every aspect 24 hours a day, 24/7, and the winner always has to pay the price.
But what was lost has been lost, and there is no point in worrying about it now. What is meaningful is how to recover the lost time, not to earn back the lost magic crystal, so Adrian decided not to wait for a moment.
While resting and re-sending the free people who had opened new villages, he was also preparing to announce "extremely bad news" to the entire continent. He was going to follow the example of a certain unscrupulous factory in his previous life and announced to the entire continent.
,Due to the war, tea production will be reduced this year.
Well, isn't it just a monkey trick? In the past life, Mr. Lei could fly into the sky. Adrian in this life may not be able to do it. You must know that Mr. Lei in the previous life had many strong competitors. In this life, Adrian can
No one can compete with him in the tea trade, especially with the endorsement of the three royal courts. Even coffee has difficulty competing with tea in the high-end beverage market. Zongshang's complaint can be overcome by time and wealth.
All that is needed to make up for it with victory is a period of development.
But this victory did not fail to teach Adrian a lesson. After counting all the losses, Adrian felt a little pained when he looked at the numbers. He finally knew where his negligence was. At that time, he established
During the construction of Solar Storm Town, for the convenience of transportation, Adrian pinned the location of Solar Storm Town in the valley close to the coast and on the edge of the Opal River. Although it facilitated development, it also gave security
It brings great challenges, just like this time.
If Becky's intelligence officers had not been lucky enough to discover the information that the Blood and Bone Pirates were about to launch a sneak attack, the consequences would not have been something Adrian could have imagined. If a group of master class pirates were really led by three legendary pirates
If the pirates launch a sneak attack, even if the Green Tower on the opposite side can provide timely support, the losses to Adrian and the Solar Storm Leader will definitely not be small.
The loss of infrastructure is secondary to the loss of personnel. The main loss is the loss of personnel, which Adrian must not accept. Not to mention that these servants and vassals have been working under him for so long, and they have been extremely used.
It's easy to say that there are emotions between living beings. Any loss of personnel will be extremely difficult to accept sadness.
Adrian spent three days to push the development of the territory back on the right track. After the territory was able to operate on its own, he couldn't wait to convene the most formal and serious defense meeting since the establishment of the territory. Except for
Except for Becky who was outside inspecting the intelligence node, all the commanders of Adrian's troops attended the meeting.
Even Pabu Pabu participated as the leader of the sea hounds. Alice also put a cup of green tea in front of her, which made Pabu Pabu happily narrow his small eyes to the point where they could not see.
The feeling of being recognized by Adrian and Bull made Prabhu Pabu even happier than harvesting ten magic crystals.
The topic of this meeting was how the Solar Storm Territory could face new threats in the coming years. The person presiding over the meeting was Mr. Bryant. After the success of that tactic, Mr. Bryant has already distinguished himself in his professional career.
His skills conquered the hearts of Adrian's attendants and vassals. Of course, they recognized Mr. Bryant, who had no commanding authority and only appeared as a staff officer. This was also because Bryant was too cheating in the past.
Mr. Bryant walked up to the crowd in an elegant and noble manner and said: "Dear comrades, with the dedicated efforts and bravery of the lord, and with the heroic fighting of everyone, our territory has achieved the results it has achieved since its establishment.
This is the victory of the most important war in the future. This is the honor of the lord, but it is also the glory bestowed upon you and me by the lord."
"However, this is not the last threat we will face, nor will it be the last war we will face. The Lord was originally going to hold a grand banquet to celebrate this victory and reward everyone for your merits, but I
, the annoying Bryant organized this generosity of the lord, because
I think that the performance of all of you, including me, in this war is not worthy of this grand reward, because no one, including me, has served the lord in this war.
Even if I play a supporting role, I don’t think I am worthy of the reward, and neither are you.”
Mr. Bryant's words were serious, but no one involved in the meeting could refute Mr. Bryant's point of view. Originally, as Adrian's attendants and vassals, they should have done so after accepting Adrian's salary.
They fought for Adrian, but in this war, all of them combined killed more pirates than Adrian alone.
This is absolutely unacceptable to them. For them, the victory of this war is more a shame than a glory. Well, that's what they think.
Mr. Bryant continued: "So, in order that you and I will not experience such humiliation next time, there will be no rewards or rewards for the victory in this war. Instead, we should thank the lord for his bravery. It is his magic that allows us to
There is no attrition, but the lord can fight for us once, but we also have decent warriors with honor and reputation. We cannot let the lord fight for us all the time. In that case, what is the use of the lord wanting us?"
"So, in order not to suffer humiliation again, we must become stronger. The lord has decided to build a new territorial defense system to deal with new threats. Let's start discussing..."
