"What law?" Asked Renault, glancing at the manager of the Royce chamber of Commerce.
The steward named "trafat" said humbly:
"Sir, it is said that the nobles in the south of the Kingdom have united to ask the Senate of the kingdom to issue a" land keeping law ". In the coming war, those nobles who voluntarily abandon their territory and flee will be permanently deprived of their titles."
"Unless the Lord tries his best to resist the black Orc army, he will not be deprived of his title by the Kingdom..."
Renault interrupted trafat with some curiosity:
"what is'' positive resistance ''? How does the Lord prove that he resisted positively? "
There was a trace of strangeness on traffat''s face, and he replied:
"I heard that the condition is that the Lord must hold on until the castle is broken by the black bastards and lose at least 50% of his armed forces before he is allowed to leave the territory..."
Renault couldn''t help but smack his mouth.
This is too cruel. NIMA is forcing the Lord of the northern border to die. At the moment when the castle is broken, can the Lord defending the castle run away?
It''s the devil to escape!
According to Renault''s understanding, the black bastards always kill the resolute human beings and eat them on the spot. They don''t even have the chance to "live as slaves for a period of time.".
Even if we can successfully escape, I am afraid it will be a near death. Few people can do this.
What kind of hatred and hatred do these nobles have? How can they put forward such a "vicious" law?
He sighed with a silent expression.
In the face of the enemy, the nobles didn''t think about how to resist the black orcs. Instead, they started fighting inside. This is really what the human nobles are good at. No wonder human beings were beaten to the ground by the black orcs.
At this time, Trafalgar said:
"later, considering the controversy of the law, a new clause was added, that is, the Lord himself is not allowed to leave the territory, but his family members can leave ahead of time..."
"If the Lord dies in battle, the title will be inherited by the heir, and there is no need to pay the Title Inheritance Tax to the king..."
Renault can''t help shaking his head. Fortunately, he didn''t kill all of them. It''s a way for people to survive. But what''s the meaning of such "behind the scenes"?
No matter whether the decree can be passed or not, the nobles of Qianhu Kingdom have actually split into two groups. It is difficult for both sides to work together against the black Orc army.
After thinking about it, Renault asked:
"why did those Southern nobles put forward the law of keeping the land?"
Trafalgar replied:
"it is said that the Duke of minddick in the South thought that when the black Orc army invaded fox Kingdom and Dushan Kingdom, there were too many nobles who gave up their territory and fled. The black Orc army easily occupied the two kingdoms without any organized resistance..."
"The Duke of minddick thought that if he didn''t issue the law of keeping the land, such a scene would be repeated again in the kingdom of thousand lakes..."
Renault nodded. When he fled, what he saw and heard all the way fully proved this. Almost all the nobles who passed by received the news ahead of time and ran away.
If the law of keeping the land can be passed, it will undoubtedly be a great deterrent to the escaping nobles, because once the title is deprived, the Lord will become a civilian, which is a great shame to the nobles who always pay attention to their status.
What''s worse, even if they were exiled to the southern Xinghai continent in the future, they could not enjoy the privileges of some aristocrats with the title of "exiled aristocracy".
The original intention of Prince minddick was good. Unfortunately, he was so ugly that he forced the frontier nobles to fight to death, but he enjoyed himself in the rear.
"Is there any more important information recently?" After clarifying the law, Renault turned to other aspects.
"Sir, there is another thing I think you may be more interested in. It is said that Duke Byron intends to expand the size of the Knights'' order led by the Duke by 50%, that is, from 2000 to 3000..." Answered Trafalgar.
Renault and Goodall look at each other.
They both see the same idea in each other''s eyes - business opportunities!
More than 1000 members of the knight order means that at least 1000 sets of armor and weapons are needed. These are all white skinners.
If Haichao chamber of commerce can win this order, it can earn at least 10000 jinnals.
Renault said without hesitation:
"Goodall, start to collect intelligence from competitors and buy their weapons and armor right away."
The subtext of this sentence is very obvious - just like what we did in starfish island at the beginning, we used the most ferocious way to blow out all the competitors'' faces and eat this cake alone!
In peacetime, the Haichao chamber of Commerce may not be able to get this order, but under the great threat of the black orcs, no one won the Haichao chamber of Commerce.Because in the absence of war, what is the relationship between the quality of weapons and armor? Anyway, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual use of meaning, there is enough!
But when the war is about to break out, poor equipment quality often means the difference between life and death. Who dares to mess with it?
Renault looked at Trafalgar again:
"Mr. Trafalgar, please help Goodall..."
Trafalgar immediately bent down and said respectfully:
"it''s my greatest honor to serve you, sir. Mr. Bentley has told me in his letter that your will is my will..."
The next morning, shortly after the morning light drove away the dark night, Copernicus came back to life, and the streets soon became lively.
Curling smoke rises from houses; shops along the street open their doors one after another and start business; the market is also boiling, with housewives bargaining around the vendors; a large number of civilians in shabby clothes rush to the wharf of the port, hoping to find a job as a porter and support their families.
This is the most common and lively daily life in a seaport city.
In an open space in the manor rented by Haichao chamber of Commerce, more than ten staff members of the chamber of commerce are busy unfolding a big ball made of yellow oilcloth. This oilcloth is actually linen, but it is coated with egg yolk oil of fried egg jellyfish.
After the tarpaulin was fully unfolded, it was spread directly on the ground into a big ball, covering an area of more than 100 square meters.
"Ready to inflate..."
"Eckert, pull the inflatable tube over quickly, enot, start the magic inflatable machine..."
In Goodall''s roar, an employee quickly dragged a NIMA hose to run over, and another employee began to operate a machine less than half a meter high, which is magic inflatable machine.
The inflator is not a new thing. It is actually an enlarged version of the magic air gun inflator. The principle and structure of the two are basically the same.
However, this machine also has a system - Thermal magic heating system, which is used to heat the air, so it also has a large oil tank filled with diesel oil.
After the rubber hose is inserted into the oil cloth inlet, the staff in charge of operating the machine immediately activates the rune square plate, and the air flow whistling sound of "whistling" is instantly sounded at the air inlet.
At the other end of the hose mouth, hot air jet out, oilcloth gradually bulging up.
Three minutes later, a huge hemisphere appeared in the open space. Although it has not been inflated yet, it can be seen roughly.
This is a hot air balloon!
