In the country of Langya, there was deathly silence in the palace hall.
The war has only been going on for a few days, but the situation of the Langya Kingdom is very bad. The counterattack from the Canglan Kingdom shocked everyone in the Langya Kingdom.
In just a few days, Qingpu Port, the second port of the Langya Kingdom and the westernmost port, was completely occupied, and all the navy was defeated by a single steel battleship.
The first port, the Surabaya Port located due south, has now been affected by the war. The attack from the steel battleship Revenge has made the port somewhat stretched.
Several of the four- to five-thousand-ton, or even two- to three-thousand-ton ‘Black Iron Battleships’ built by the Langya Kingdom were like toys under the attack of the Revenge. As for the wooden ships, they could not withstand a few cannonballs.
Only with comparison can there be harm!
But the damage is really too great. The steel battleships of the Ocean Group are extremely powerful.
The land army of the Canglan Kingdom continued to advance from the sea with the help of the Revenge battleship. Now, nearly a thousand miles of land to the west of the Langya Kingdom has fallen.
In the main hall, the Minister of War explained the situation calmly:
"Your Majesty, our military strength is slightly inferior. The last time we were able to occupy Qianlong Port in the Kingdom of Canglan was entirely due to the war in the West.
But now, the country of Canglan has dispatched almost all its military forces to our side, and the continuous actions of Dayang Group in the past six months have caused the country's combat effectiveness to soar.
Years ago, our more than 300,000 legions in Qianlong Port suffered heavy casualties and have not been able to recover. Now, the Western legions have suffered heavy losses again. Coupled with the impact of chaos and other attacks, the situation is precarious.
I believe that the battle line should be retreated two hundred miles to Guanlui Mountain, so that we can defend it in danger."
The emperor looked ugly: "If we retreat another two hundred miles, our west will fall by more than a thousand miles! One-fifth of the country will be gone!"
The Minister of War looked a little hesitant, and the prime minister next to him said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, if you lose people, you will lose both people and land! In the current situation, I believe that we must trade space for time and strive for the soldiers to reorganize. If this continues
If it drags on, morale will get lower and lower.
Once the losses reach a critical point, I'm afraid the entire Western Legion will... collapse!"
The emperor stood up irritably, walked around, gritted his teeth and repeatedly said the words "steel battleship", "Ocean Group" and so on. The country of Canglan suddenly became powerful, and the blood transfusion from the country of Qixia was indispensable, especially the large amount of pills.
Supplement, supplement of steel artillery battleship.
It should be said that the Kingdom of Langya has also received a lot of support from the Xiaoyao Sect during this period, but the result of the battle...
"Report!" A guard came in, interrupting the emperor's entanglement and irritability, "Your Majesty, Taoist Master Guanyun of the Xiaoyao Sect will be arriving soon."
"Ah..." The emperor reacted and hurried out of the hall to greet him. After a while, Taoist Master Guanyun flew over, and there was a simple old man beside him.
Just after landing, Taoist Master Guanyun first set up a soundproof barrier and then said, "Your Majesty, we want to negotiate a deal with Dayang Group, which may involve steel battleships, a sky-sealing and earth-sealing formation, complete artillery technology, and excellent
Xuantie mass production technology, etc.
Your Langya country knows something about steel battleships, please send someone here to help with reference.
By the way, it seems that Wang Ruiyang from the Canglan Kingdom is also here with you, right? Call us together."
The emperor blinked and didn't react for a moment. What are you talking about?
It wasn't until the prime minister next to him reminded him that the emperor said, "Senior, wait a minute, I'll go get ready right now."
If you want to know more about steel battleships, of course Ma Jianliang, commander of the first navy of Langya Kingdom, has been to Qixia Kingdom, visited steel battleships at close range, and seen the development of Dayang Group.
Not to mention Wang Ruiyang. This guy is living in a bit of a mess now. Ever since he purchased the spirit stone-driven steam turbine from Dayang Group and sold it to Langya Kingdom (actually the Xiaoyao Sect), Wang Ruiyang and his Ling Wei
The trading houses are getting weaker and weaker in the country of Canglan.
Lingwei Trading Company used to take advantage of the Canglan Kingdom's monopoly on the West, buy and sell by force, and adulterate black iron, and indeed made a lot of money. However, with the rise of Qixia Kingdom and Dayang Group, Lingwei Trading Company has shrunk rapidly. Until now
, Wang Ruiyang had to come to Langya Country to look for opportunities.
However, Lingwei Commercial Bank still has no improvement, and the trend is declining day by day.
To this day, when he was brought to Taoist Master Guanyun, Wang Ruiyang, who was no longer high-spirited, still felt like he was dreaming.
Taoist priest Guanyun patted Wang Ruiyang on the shoulder, "Xiao Wang, thank you very much for the steam turbine you sold us last time."
"This... that... hehe..." Wang Ruiyang was a little embarrassed. He spent 3 million high-grade spiritual stones to buy it from Dayang Group, but sold it for 7 million high-grade spiritual stones!
Who is Taoist Master Guanyun? He eats more salt than Wang Ruiyang eats rice. He patted Wang Ruiyang on the shoulder again and said, "It doesn't matter. I still have to thank you for what happened last time; otherwise, even if we spend more money, we won't be able to do it."
Can't buy it.
This time, we have a difficult task for you. If we succeed, it will be your benefit."
"Okay, okay, thank you senior for your tolerance and trust. I will definitely do it, junior."
"Very good. This time, we are planning to purchase two 10,000-ton steel battleships from Dayang Group, as well as 5,000 artillery pieces of various types, including millions of shells, and even the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation. The total transaction amount is as high as
270 million high-grade spiritual stones.
One time payment!”
"..." Wang Ruiyang looked at Taoist Guanyun stupidly without blinking. Are you kidding? Not to mention the price of 270 million high-grade spiritual stones, even if you want to buy them from Dayang Group, they won't sell them.
!
This is not a question of money at all, but a question of whether Dayang Group is willing to sell.
The Dayang Group has no worries about selling its steel warships, so why should it be sold to the Xiaoyao Sect? This is simply impossible!
However, Taoist Master Guanyun just smiled and said, "Don't worry, this transaction only requires you to show up and use your identity as the Country of Canglan. We have already negotiated the actual negotiations."
Wang Ruiyang was stunned for a while, and then suddenly shouted: "Oh shit, there is a conflict between Dayang Group and Xuanzhen Sect!"
Taoist Master Guanyun's face quickly became solemn, "Don't say nonsense that you shouldn't say. Once this matter is done, I will accept you as a registered disciple. Of course, for the time being, because I need to use your identity as a country of Canglan, this registered disciple's
Things cannot be made public.
Once you pass the inspection, I will accept you as an inner disciple!"
Wang Ruiyang was overjoyed. Xiao Wang was very thick-skinned and immediately called Master, "Master, don't worry, the disciple will complete the task successfully. Moreover, the disciple also understands some of Dayang Group's technologies and guarantees that Dayang Group will not be deceived!"
By the way, Master, should we help Dayang Group publicize this matter?"
"Do your job well. Don't interfere in irrelevant matters! The headmaster of Xiaoyao Sect has sworn on this matter."
As he said that, Taoist Guanyun glanced at the surrounding monarchs and ministers of Langya Kingdom, and everyone immediately said: they must keep it secret.
This matter must be kept secret. According to the current situation, this battleship must be purchased and given to the Langya Kingdom for use.
Taoist Master Guanyun was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and pointed to the simple, inconspicuous, and quiet old man beside him, and said to Wang Ruiyang: "This is Xianyunzi, one of us in the late stage of spiritual transformation.
Elder. This time Elder Xianyunzi is only responsible for handing over the spirit stones.
Note that we cannot get out the 270 million high-grade spiritual stones. Among them, I have a lot of precious spiritual materials such as fine gold, mithril, and star fine gold, as well as many precious elixirs.
I won’t ask too much about the details of the transaction. Anyway, this is the wealth. You try to exchange it for more things. If you can achieve 110% of the expected goal, just come back and I will accept you as an entry-level disciple immediately!"
After the arrangement was completed, Taoist Master Guanyun drifted away, leaving only Xian Yunzi. Xian Yunzi was very calm, with no air of master at all. He just stood there quietly, as if he was asleep.
But no one dares to underestimate this person, who seems to have no characteristics, but he is in the late stage of becoming a god.
Wang Ruiyang rubbed his face vigorously to regain some sense, and finally stepped forward to meet Xian Yunzi, "Senior, if it is convenient, can I see all the items? I need to revalue all the items.
The price of many items in the West, the Fertile Continent, is doubled."
Xian Yunzi didn't say anything, but took out a string of 15 storage bracelets from his arms.
Wang Ruiyang's mouth twitched, but he still borrowed a room from the emperor, borrowed a few people, and began to count all the belongings.
After some inventory, it was already late at night, and Wang Ruiyang knew what was going on. He was confident that he could sell these items for 300 million high-grade spiritual stones. This was enough to make him an inner disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect!
