Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 55 Chapter 55
"How dare he! How dare he touch my things!" A beautiful glass was thrown to the ground without warning, and the dark red wine inside splashed onto the wall like human blood.

Keith stared at the messenger with a gloomy face, and shouted loudly: "Does he think that I can't do anything about him without evidence? Does he think that he can do whatever he wants if he is going to die?"

The messenger had to lower his head even lower, because the news he sent was really not good news.

The convoy of the Cyric Consortium departing from the Northridge Iron Mine was robbed on a road where there were almost no bandits, and not even a single one came back alive.

It is not known who made the move, but those valuable goods, those steels that were extremely expensive during the war, just disappeared like this.

The entire convoy disappeared without a trace. The Earl of Northridge, Fischero, personally led troops to search and put martial law in a large area nearby, which made it impossible for Cyric's own investigators to enter.

Everything is logical, and everything is so bizarre. In short, within a short period of time, Cyric may not be able to figure out where the soldiers escorting the goods and those expensive iron ingots have gone.

Of course they didn't know that the iron ore had been mixed into the team going to Bunas, followed by more than 2000 immigrants, and left North Ridge without anyone noticing, arriving at a small town on the coast.

"My lord..." Seeing the furious Gies, he grabbed a new cup and was about to drop it, the messenger asked cautiously, "Do you want to, our side..."

Gith's face was gloomy, and in the end he didn't immediately drop the glass in his hand to the ground, but murmured sullenly: "Fischero! I will definitely let you know what will happen if you offend the Cyric Consortium. fate!"

"Tell the envoy of the Kingdom of Susas for me! Tell him, I want Rhonin Alice! I want her alive! Let them send someone to me after they capture Wolf City! I want to train her myself ! Then sell her to a brothel! Bastard!" He looked at his confidant next to him and ordered.

Everyone knows that Lord Earl of North Ridge has a beloved daughter who is unparalleled in beauty and wisdom, and holds many properties under the name of Lord Earl.

Many nobles covet Alice's beauty, but no one has ever proposed marriage to the Earl of Northridge.This is a strange thing in the Wright Kingdom, and there are actually quite a few twists and turns in it.

Because the Earl of North Ridge stood on the side of the peasants and was unwilling to join forces with the nobles, none of the veteran nobles wanted to have anything to do with Fishereau.

Although their children coveted the beauty of the earl's daughter and coveted Beiling's property, everyone knew that they should not have anything to do with Beiling at this time.

Becoming in-laws with Beiling, who is destined to become the target of public criticism, will obviously implicate himself, and this is definitely a thing that is not worth the candle - lust is one thing, boldness is another.

These aristocratic youths are not stupid, although they are shameless and lustful, they are extremely intelligent and clear in some aspects... Even if they themselves are not clear, their elders will let them bully male bullies within a reasonable range Women, not sperms, go to their heads to make unnecessary troubles for the family.

In fact, these aristocratic youths are not without thoughts. The things they are proud of are really worthless in front of Ronin Alice.

Their so-called handsomeness, in front of Alice's famous beauty, is like a firefly competing with a bright moon, and they are not at the same level at all.

And their high net worth, and their habit of spending money like water to attract women obviously couldn't impress Alice. After all, Alice, the only daughter of the Earl of Northridge and in charge of the family business, was much richer than them.

As for bullying others by taking advantage of their power and using force by means of robbery, these noble youths dare not even think about it.The Northridge Legion has a reputation for being elite and brave, and they are strong against Alice on the Northridge chassis. If they have this ability and courage, their parents may wake up laughing from their dreams.

Therefore, everyone is waiting, waiting for the death of the Earl of North Ridge, and then openly comfort the Earl's daughter, and take advantage of the girl's fragility and helplessness to find a way to coax Rhonin Alice into bed and inherit the legacy of North Ridge. Everything, becoming the new Earl is a serious matter.

Thinking of the portrait of Alice's side face, Guice showed a lewd expression on his face: "I want all the men in this world to taste the taste of his daughter! I want all the men in this world to taste the taste of his daughter! When people mention the Luo Ning family, they can only think of a prostitute!"

The confidant lowered his head slightly, as if agreeing to something that could be done easily: "Yes!"

In his opinion, the person who was targeted by the poisonous snake Geese could almost be declared dead.There is no nobleman that the Cyric Consortium can't bring down, and there is no one that the Cyric Consortium can't kill.

Gith, who had recovered his composure, was silent with a gloomy face, thinking about what this incident meant.

Fischero has always been law-abiding, which is also the main reason why the earl can be counted against - a gentleman can be deceived.

As a result, such an Earl, who looked like a gentleman in every way, has now started to use extraordinary methods.It can be seen that rabbits can bite people when they are in a hurry, and it is true that dogs can jump over walls when they are in a hurry.

The confidant stood aside and said, "He actually robbed so much iron ore we mined... It seems that he also knows that if he doesn't do something, it will be too late."

The war is imminent, and the clouds are thick. Earl Fischero, who is very sensitive to war, can definitely foresee the coming crisis.

In this case, it seems reasonable to do something to save yourself.However, in this case, what's the use of looting some steel and copper ingots?
Although Beiling has a small workshop for repairing muskets, it does not have the ability to mass-produce muskets.With so much metal, it doesn't seem to be of much use except for arming some peasants with some useless swords.

However, from another point of view, it is indeed possible to use these metals to make some shells and bullets.Perhaps, Fischero looted these materials in order to store more ammunition.

But even if there is ammunition, what is the use?Once Suzas's army arrived, how much trouble could he, a Fischero who had lost the kingdom's backing, turn up?
Even if Fishero used his troops like a god, the war would enter a stalemate in the end.At that time, Northridge Agriculture has been delayed and completely collapsed, and the ammunition reserves have been exhausted. What can a team of only 1500 people do?

After thinking about it, Gies felt that Fishero was just dying now, and there was no hope of a comeback at all.

But he didn't know what was going on, he just felt a little uneasy, and always felt that there must be something wrong behind Fishero's uncharacteristic behavior.

Just as he was thinking about it and trying to piece together all the details, a subordinate came in, bowed slightly and reported: "My lord, the news just came from the Minister of Taxation, Fishero... Did not pay the taxes that should be sent to the royal capital on time!"

"Taxes? He owed taxes? This is not normal..." Keith rubbed his chin, squinted his eyes and muttered again.

Fischero doesn't often default on the kingdom's taxes. In fact, only during the autumn harvest will he stand up for the farmers and temporarily default on part of the kingdom's taxes.Even so, Fischero has always paid the kingdom's taxes in full, so his reputation has always been good.

But now, at this special time, Gies still smells something unusual from this default.

"He is preparing for war... and he is preparing for war more urgently than before!" Gith said to himself: "He has a lot of money in his hand now, and he has a lot of strategic materials... iron ingots, copper ingots, There are also bristles, leather, and grain from North Ridge... there are actually quite a lot."

"If he really revived him, wouldn't we have to plan again for a long time? No way! How can you not die..." Geese paced around the room.

"You! Go to the workshop and let them tamper with a batch of muskets! Make sure this batch of muskets are all waste products!" Soon, he stopped, looked at the subordinate who came in to report, and said He ordered: "Then go out and make sure that this batch of goods will be sent to Beiling!"

"Aren't you preparing for war? Then I will give you a batch of unusable muskets! Hey hey hey... I want to see, what do you use to fight against the army of the Kingdom of Susas!" Gith proudly held the one in his hand. The spare wine glass was put back on the table, already with a conceited smile on his face.

He knew that Fischero had been applying for new muskets and various supplies earlier, so he wrote to His Majesty the King, claiming that the situation on the border was tense and Northridge was actively preparing for war.

The kingdom has never agreed to Fishero's request before, so it has never allocated new weapons to him.

Now, Gies plans to give Fishero a surprise: he plans to give Fishero a batch of scrapped weapons, and let him have a good experience of what it means to "add insult to injury".

And at the same time, one of Guise's confidantes jumped out of the carriage in front of Baron Stella's mansion not far from Bunas, arranged his clothes, and asked his followers to hand over his name card.

The concierge of Baron Stella glanced down at the sign of Cyric on the name card, did not dare to show his face, and immediately trotted to find Baron Stella who was still asleep: "My lord! My lord! Ciri The Ke consortium is here! It's just outside the door! He wants to see you!"
