Monster Minotaur

How rich is Carthage? Perhaps even the current Princess Regent of Carthage cannot explain this question clearly. For Carthage, where almost half of the citizens are engaged in business, Carthage’s eight huge treasuries are piled full. The gold coins are just a drop in the bucket of Carthage's wealth.

In order to encourage business, Carthage's commercial taxes have always been low, which allowed a large amount of wealth to be hidden in the hands of large private businessmen. The wealth held by many large financial groups can even rival the national treasury. Carthage divided the kingdoms according to their wealth and granted these great merchants noble titles and privileges.

Carthage's maritime industry was extremely developed, and her merchant ships could be said to be spread across almost the entire continent. Wherever trade can be done, there will be Carthaginian merchant ships and figures. Carthage developed when manhunting ended and humans discovered navigable routes in the ocean.

Five hundred years have made her people very wealthy, but at the same time they are too weak to fight. Their ancestors were once able to defeat the Maro people with the help of wealth, but now they are losing ground in the war with the Maro people because of the corruption of these wealth. Over-reliance on mercenary fighting methods and the need to be wary of domestic slaves prevented the release of too many troops.

This caused the country to not only spit out all the land it had occupied five hundred years ago, but now also faced the possibility of being destroyed by Caesar of Maro. Carthage is facing an unprecedented crisis, which makes Artoria, the regent princess of Carthage, very anxious. She will not let go of any possibility that allows her to win, whether she claims to be sent by God to save Carthage. The messenger of Taiji is Thunder Bluff, which is already the most powerful force in Elan.

She needs any help she can get so she can win this war. So she sent one of her men to Thunder Bluff disguised as an opera troupe, hoping to sign a secret agreement with the tauren who controlled everything. She promised that as long as Thunder Bluff could send troops to attack the rear of Malo, she would provide Thunder Bluff with 30,000 olive branch gold coins.

And if Thunder Bluff performs well, she will pay more commissions and rewards. Money is not a problem for Carthage. For Carthage, whose god was replaced by the goddess of wealth five hundred years ago, these things are not a burden.

It's really a generous condition. Mo Yan looked at the letter that had been kept close to him for who knows how long and still had a certain fragrance in his hand. The one-time payment of 30,000 yuan contains 100% more gold than a Salt gold coin. Five olive branch gold coins. Every time a Maro army is defeated, there are five thousand gold coins, and for occupying an important city, there is a commission of ten thousand gold coins. Wow...I am almost tempted.

Do you still have any dissatisfaction? Pasha arranged his corset, looked at the Minotaur on the throne and said: You must know that this is the best offer offered by Carthage, even if it is Those barbarians who have been employed by Carthage for generations can only get ten thousand gold coins at most, and they are paid in installments.

Don't compare Thunder Bluff with those barbarians. The great man put away the letter in his hand and looked at the pasha and said: Maybe they seem powerful to you, but to me they are just a mess. They lack discipline. They have no clear fighting goals, but they run faster than anyone else when encountering difficulties. It’s not like I haven’t heard about what happened in Carthage recently.”

Really? Pasha had a smile on his face, but he said unceremoniously: But in my opinion, there is no difference between you. You must know that the people leading the army for you are Sartes. . In the understanding of us Central Plains people, they are just a group of barbarians who only know how to fight but not war. I think it is too much to offer such a high price.

Pasha's polite but contemptuous words made Refola and others in the hall, who had not left, look ugly on their faces. Although most of them knew what the Central Plains people thought of them, it was a different feeling to have it said out to their faces. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was just a woman, then a young and energetic man like Glock would have drawn out his weapons to justify his glory.

After hearing what Pasha said, Mo Yan did not feel angry because Pasha had belittled his people. This kind of subtle provocation would not have much effect on him. And with such a good opportunity to gain favor, he certainly couldn't let it go and said: They are all warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles. Whether they will fight or not is not up to you. I have never thought that Salt People are barbarians, and they have many things that the entire continent can be proud of.

Then prove it to us. Pasha said as she walked along the path she had envisioned: There is an old saying on the mainland that the only way to verify whether a sword is a good weapon is to use it to kill. Enemy. If the power of Thunder Bluff is worth what Carthage has paid, then I am willing to apologize to everyone.

In fact, Mo Yan was tempted by the conditions proposed by Carthage, even though Thunder Bluff now controls the entire Elam economy, with a large number of gold coins coming in every day. But with the employment fee of 30,000 olive branch gold coins and a lot of commissions on achievements, this is a temptation that no force can refuse.

But obviously the monster army cannot leave Elam. According to what Mo Yan heard from the goddess in the dream, it can be inferred that many gods' chosen warriors are now outside Elam. Even if they are blocked by the goddess's maze and unable to move forward, they may still be lingering and stationed outside Elam.

If the monster army is sent out of Elam at this time, it is simply an act of giving away people's heads. There is no difference. Those warriors of God don't care whether these are kind monsters. In their eyes, dead monsters are good monsters. If Thunder Bluff wants to make this kind of money, it can only use pure Salt people, or mix in some legions of gray dwarves who are not very popular with the people on the ground, but are barely acceptable.

We can accept your employment. After thinking about it for a while, Mo Yan finally made a decision and said: But please don't be happy too early. Although I agree to your request, this does not mean that we will accept your employment immediately. I will participate in the war, and I need to submit a bill to the Congress of the New Elamite Federation, which is not a small matter.

Now Thunder Bluff and the surrounding small cities have formed what Mo Yan calls the New Elamite Federation, and a rough structure has been set up under Mo Yan's three months of busy work. In Thunder Bluff, the construction of the parliament hall to gather the parliament has begun, and the federal legislators elected from various cities have also come to Thunder Bluff.

Some of these people spend most of their time traveling around the cities of the new federation to promote their ideas, hoping to have a chance to become president in the general election five months later. Although their wishes will definitely fail, it at least gives these people an idea to prevent them from being bored.

And now this barely used parliament has become Mo Yan's excuse to delay. He could not tell the Pasha that his monster army could not leave Elam now, and the army composed of the Sartes had not yet been trained. So he brought the matter to the Federal Parliament, and he had the final say as to how long it would take.

In three months, those council members who could be said to have come from the countryside have been almost corroded by the prosperity of Thunder Bluff. Although Mo Yan can't do whatever he wants now, he can still do it by delaying the resolution, and after the training of the Salt troops of the federal army is completed, the parliament is almost completely under his control.

How long will it take? Pasha didn't know Mo Yan's question. She also had a rough understanding of the so-called democratic system of the Elamite barbarians. Such a troublesome and weird thing is not as good as the monarchy of the Central Plains countries. At least such an important decision will not be delayed.

We need about three months. Mo Yan gave an approximate time and said: Although I also want to sign a secret contract with you as soon as possible, but obviously I don't have the final say on these things. I just think He is just the interim president of the Lanxin Federation.

In the end, the Pasha had no choice but to go back and find a way to deliver the news back to Carthage. Although it is a little late after three months, it is not too late. Now the girl from the countryside is leading her slave army behind the Maro front, which makes Maro's current offensive weaker. Carthage can still support it for three months.

After handling this incident, Mo Yan asked everyone to retreat. And he also got up and returned to the office. In the past two days, because of pretending to be stupid, he had accumulated some documents that he needed to deal with. Two succubi were already staying there in the office, and it was impossible for them to escape from Thunder Bluff.

Outside Thunder Bluff is Salt's territory. Even if they escape from Thunder Bluff, they can only live in caves in the wild like wild people at the beginning, and they will also have to face the pursuit of Thunder Bluff. . Rather than that, it is better to receive the punishment directly. After all, whipping does not necessarily kill them.

As expected of the demons of hell. Mo Yan sat on his chair, looked at the two succubi who had processed a large pile of documents while he was talking to the pasha, and said with a smile: I'm still thinking. If you choose to escape, I have already designed in my mind the way I will execute you, including the triangular wooden horse with serrations that I may use.

Everyone, please hand over your recommendation votes. There will be another chapter tonight~
