Chapter 686 Declaration of War
ps: ps: On the first day of rest, the computer broke down the second day, I didn’t fix it on the third day, and I spent 40 yuan to find someone to fix it on the fourth day... This is updated today
The first year of the Magic Continental Festival.
Keral led 200,000 warriors from the Knights Continent to the Kingdom of Fiore.
Keral, this mysterious man, seemed to be born with a halo of charm and charm.
He made countless queens of the Knights and the Magic Continent fascinated him, including four queens, White Jasmine Artoria Pandragon, Red Rose Nero Claudius, Violet Anlietta, and Blue Lily Collotia. The first two came from the Knights and the last two came from the Magic Continent.
Although he was only loyal to White Jasmine Artoria, the endless ambiguity and scandals between the five of them made countless minstrels write poems and songs for him.
But no matter how charming and talented he is, he still cannot cover up his implementation as a pioneer of invasion - even if the book Magic Continental Calendar was compiled by him!
That's right, starting this year, the first year of the new history of the Magic Continent.
Keral not only compiled the book "The Magic Continental Calendar".
What he also did was: to form an army of 1,000 to 2,000 knights in 1:1:1:1, and then arrange all these troops in full according to the level of the town.
The population of the entire Fiore Kingdom is only about 3 million. Excluding many people living in tribes and forests, almost 200,000 have included the cities and towns of the entire Fiore Kingdom. Kelar was not satisfied with this, because the troops sent out were only 100,000, and he still had 100,000 people stationed near the Magic Review Council.
Although these 100,000 people were completely ineffective for the Fiore Kingdom, which had magical productivity, Keral did not want these 100,000 people to simply stay in the Magic Review Council. Instead, he tried his best to exert his abilities, so with a big stroke, Keral began to build fortresses on various major traffic routes.
For a moment, the entire Fiore Kingdom began to storm.
In fact, in the Fiore Kingdom without statistics, there is no specific feeling about Keral's "expanding army".
I just felt that Keral had a lot of more troops all at once, but the announcement to Keral: There was no theoretical conflict between 8,000 troops, because most people in a certain area could only see an army of no more than 3,000 people.
In theory, it is not too surprising that they can see 3,000 people in other areas, because many people will never be able to get out of three areas in their lifetime.
Many businessmen keenly smell the scent of anxiety.
Is the war about to begin?
Many merchants smelled uneasy through the market's grain flow and iron prices.
In this era, merchants are the most sensitive to intelligence. They observe what happened through the price increase of various things. Since many factors only have one reason to raise prices, there is nothing to doubt at all!
If the price increase in grain is caused by famine in a certain area, then the iron price increase will have to make merchants frightened.
Although iron is a necessary strategic material for the country, the price of iron in the market is extremely stable. It is certain how much iron a country needs. There may be many demands, but it will never cause a huge increase in the market. However, the price of iron under Keral's rule is now 0.5 times that of the past.
In other words, Keral has swallowed half of the iron that is more than in the past.
What are these Iron Kelars intended to use for?
The most demanding thing in war is weapons.
And iron, cast weapons.
In addition to Kelar's expansion some time ago and the large number of soldiers who appeared during this period.
Many merchants have begun to leave the Kingdom of Fiore, but more are merchants who take risks for the sake of iron.
A large number of merchants were doing everything they could to see Kelar, but they found that the city was decorated with beautiful girls carrying big swords in the Magical Council et town.
But it is obvious that these cruel and ruthless girls are very selfless about anything. Someone once wanted to force his way into the et al., but the girls were cut off their heads.
On the gate with a head mounted on the et, the merchants suddenly became much more honest.
Then a great sword brought out.
"From today on, I will charge as much as the steel is available. I will charge according to the market price. What did Keral say?" Denisa, who came to the merchants with Keral's message, ignited all the merchants with this sentence.
If there is 200% profit, merchants will risk being hanged.
Now it is 50% of the profit. You should know that this kind of profit is definitely very high in this era. Industry with profits that can exceed 20% to 30% are already very high, and profits of more than 50% are enough to make all merchants crazy. And everyone knows that as they transport the railway madly, the price of iron will rise accordingly. Trade between countries is different. Merchants can be despicable, but countries must maintain credibility.
Otherwise, if a country has no credibility, no people will be willing to believe it, and the country's credit bankruptcy means the collapse of the regime.
Therefore, doing business with the government is actually the most profitable.
The incident of Keral's large-scale acquisition of iron quickly attracted the attention of Richard and others. Faced with the obvious signs of war such as Keral, many countries became inexplicably nervous.
But Kailar is even more dormant than they thought.
For a whole year, everyone was nervous because of Keral's nerves. Then a year later, everyone was asking, what about the promised declaration of war?
In fact, Keral had already developed a magic speedboat the next day after Artoria and the others arrived.
If the power required to fly in the sky is terrible, then the power required to a propeller-style speedboat is not that terrible.
The load capacity and survivability of speedboats are by no means comparable to that of current airships.
So if you just have a magic speedboat, you can quickly reach the Knights Continent with sailors, captains, observers and personnel.
The crystallization of this magic speedboat and sailboat is bonded with Keral's wisdom and the guidance technology of the Kingdom of Fiore. It is expected to reach the Knights' continent within three months to half a year and the third and fourth army are struggling to gather - the second army led by the Silver King Isli must be on the way now, right?
But there was a small episode in this year that Kailar did not expect.
Hannibal ran away.
The King of Silver's fleet, the second expedition fleet, came 200,000 people from Sirius Island to the Kingdom of Fiore again.
War is imminent. (To be continued...)
