Lecia's caravan stayed in Eft City for three days. They first used a lottery to advertise, and then used consolation prizes to promote their candies.
There is no need to create demand. The residents of Baimu County have rarely tasted such mellow and sweet candies. Now that they tried it for the first time, they naturally left a deep impression.
For many organisms, sugar can make the nerves produce a feeling of happiness and pleasure, which is a product of the biological evolution process. Even in the modern society in Lorraine Hill's memory, this is still the case, in various entertainment activities, food
Amid competition, sugar-sweetened milk tea, cola, scented tea and other beverages still have strong appeal.
In today's world where entertainment and life are scarce, the happiness brought by sugar is rare. Of course, the price is not cheap. The raw materials and processes for making sugar have always been expensive.
There are not many sources of natural sweetness. Before the varieties were improved, many fruits were not sweet, and it was not easy to extract sugar. The most common sweetness is honey, but the yield of growing things is also very low.
In the distant past, the discovery of the New World was largely for the sugarcane industry, which produced white gold and sugar.
It’s hard to imagine a time when a person couldn’t eat sweet things once a year. With such expectations, candy and fairy tales were often associated in the past (such as Halloween)
Therefore, in this era, sugar is still a delicacy that only a small number of people can enjoy.
----------
After the event, many residents in the city knew about the Lagdis Chamber of Commerce and bought some candies during the special offer. Although it was not much, it was a rare gift to put at home and give to the children to try.
"If you want to buy in the future, you can go to Kut Jewelry Store in the city, where we have all kinds of candies for sale on consignment."
“Finally, everyone is welcome to participate in this event!”
As the words fell, a slight burst of fireworks started, ribbons, paper flowers, and some free candies fell from the air, and then bursts of cheers came from the venue.
"marvelous!"
"It's so delicious, I still want it," one child said with the candy in his mouth.
Lecia looked at the scene in front of her with a faint smile on her face, then got on the carriage nearby, and then drove out of the city gate with the team.
This event was quite famous. On the last day, the city's commerce and trade bureau sent several people over to inspect it, for fear that they would make some deceptive operation. Fortunately, everything went normally in the end, so there was no obstruction or interception.
Then continue to the next stop.
The refurbished convoy unloaded a batch of candies and placed them in a jewelry store for consignment. Then they purchased a batch of fine birch wood and set off for the northern provinces.
The rolling plains have undulating hills, and narrow paths extend into the distance. In the endless open fields, a convoy moves forward slowly under the morning light.
----------
Black Rock Principality.
Three airships came from one side of the sky, and they slowly landed outside a city in the mountains. Then as the stairs fell, the soldiers unloaded boxes of heavy wooden boxes from the airships.
The long-awaited support from the ‘Halber Sect’ has finally arrived.
According to the treaty signed by Frost Rose and them, they will provide the Halberd Faction with the latest and most sophisticated weapons.
A spear was inserted into the gap of the wooden box, and then pressed hard, with a crash, sawdust flew up, and then the wooden board was pried open, revealing the weapons wrapped in oil paper and straw inside.
The special black matte weapon has a slender appearance and is extremely heavy, but its surface is very smooth and feels like a carefully crafted work of art.
This is the result of Frost Rose, the magic crystal gun.
In a meeting hall in the city.
Several mages shrouded in robes were interacting with these mercenary leaders.
"A total of 800 magic crystal guns, 2,000 muskets, 100,000 rounds of magic crystal ammunition, and 500,000 rounds of musket ammunition were shipped here."
"This is the first aid promised. If you can unite the whole territory, the second aid will arrive soon."
"You don't even have artillery? What's the use of these? They were shot into hedgehogs by those bows and arrows before they even got close." A mercenary captain complained nonchalantly.
These mages raised their eyes and looked at the big man who spoke unpleasantly, and then they called a soldier who followed the airship.
"You show this group of people the power of the magic crystal gun."
"Yes, sir!" the soldier in black uniform replied loudly.
Then he picked up a magic crystal gun, skillfully pulled the bolt, then loaded it, and a conical ammunition with engraved patterns was pressed into it.
A group of people came outside and watched the soldier aim at an uninhabited boulder in the distance, about 300 meters apart, with an × drawn on it.
As the soldier pulled the trigger, a gunshot sounded, and the hard boulder in the distance exploded into pieces.
The surprised mercenary captains came to the stone and rummaged around for a while, only to find the broken stone where the X had been painted. There was a sunken and cracked bullet mark, and some white powder remained in it.
"This is the power of the magic crystal gun." The mage on the side said.
"In order to deal with the many extraordinary beings in the Green Empire, we developed this weapon that ordinary people can use."
"A Sequence 6 transcendent may be difficult to shoot, but for Sequence 4 and below, a single salvo will cause serious injuries and loss of combat ability. Even Sequence 5 would not dare to be easily exposed to the concentrated fire of the magic crystal gun.
, once he cannot escape, death is the inevitable outcome."
"Perhaps you are still hesitant to this day, but our Frost Rose Alliance will also tell the world that new power will surely revolutionize the world, and the seven Snow Flower Kingdoms will inevitably come under the same banner. It is our destiny to defeat the Green Empire
and the inevitability of the future.”
"Yes, this is exactly the reason why we chose to unite."
After the inspection, these mercenary leaders also became serious. They have been traveling all year round, so they naturally understand the confidence of the Frost Rose Alliance. With excellent technology and channels to obtain resources, the rise of this alliance has become foreseeable.
fact.
The battle in the mountains started again, but this time it was completely different from before.
Under the cover of a few scattered golems, the army of the Halberd Sect quickly approached the city gate. With the sound of gunfire, the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the battlefield, and then a big hole was opened under the ancient and solid fortress.
Groups of armored soldiers wielding halberds filed in. These heavily armed soldiers were like sharks entering the school of fish with nowhere to escape, and wantonly surrounded and killed the vulnerable enemies in the city.
The defenders, who lacked armor and lacked training in melee combat, could only disintegrate all the way, and even took the initiative to open the gate on the west side and escape towards the grassland.
But soon, the enemies from the rear continued to attack. These light cavalrymen holding halberds chased the fleeing enemies, cutting them down one by one, and constantly cleaning up and surrounding the former defenders.
Since the Mercury Dynasty, Fengyan City, which had been guarding the north for thousands of years, was finally defeated by its own compatriots.
