Struggle in the Steam Age

Regarding the most important trophy, Pine Island’s interest division negotiations actually started when the exploration and various churches declared that the Viscount Pine Island was a human traitor. Of course, as a noble with sufficient inheritance, Lawrence's subordinates naturally have suitable retainers to deal with trivial matters related to negotiations, and he does not need to go to deal with these trivial matters in person.

According to Safir's statement on the way here, Owen's deputy butler has already rushed here from Sauer Island with a few people. In addition to them, the Embassy of the Holy Visby Empire in the White Eagle Federation also sent a counselor and several embassy staff to form another part of the negotiation team.

It is inseparable from Lawrence’s previous series of work to be able to call in the empire’s assistance at this time. Although he himself does not quite understand these matters, his loyal servants helped him to deal with these matters very well. Well, he only needs to control the general direction.

These work had actually started since Lawrence came to the island. For example, whether it was the production of new medicines or the first harvest of food, he would rent a convenient merchant ship to deliver these things to the imperial emperor. According to the steward, although the empire does not collect taxes from the island, there are things that the nobles of the emperor faction must do.

Of course, with these items sent to the Holy Visby Empire, there will naturally be a series of economic cooperation. For example, after the hedgehog bomb was shipped to Sauer Island and tested, Lawrence and the others granted the design drawings and manufacturing authorization for the hedgehog bomb to the Holy Visby Empire Royal Arsenal at a relatively low price.

In this kind of cooperation, Lawrence will naturally pay a lot of benefits. At least those new medicines and newly developed weapon authorizations have allowed the Holy Visby Empire to obtain a lot of benefits~www.ltnovel.com~Get cash 】Follow vx public.

But correspondingly, he also improved the relationship with the Holy Visby Empire and the empire in the process.

From a purely profit perspective, some businesses cannot be covered by an earl like Lawrence if they want to grow bigger. But after giving up part of the benefits to the Holy Visby Emperor, the empire will naturally provide him with refuge in these businesses, and this will also facilitate Lawrence to expand his business.

For example, the previous lighters and mortars, and the alcohol and its derivative iodine used for disinfection, and the previous researches found that they can treat diarrhea after detailed testing of various minerals, animals and plants in accordance with the requirements of Lawrence. The drug montmorillonite powder. These things were spread to the entire Old Continent through cooperation with the Royal Family of the Holy Visby Empire.

With the help of the royal family of the Holy Visby Empire, these businesses were spread smoothly in the Old World. Not to mention that with the help of the royal family, those lighters as luxury goods were immediately recognized by the old mainland aristocrats, the largest consumer market for luxury goods. The national procurement of weapons and medicines has made Lawrence a lot easier financially.

This is one of the important reasons why Lawrence was able to launch a new round of construction on Sauer Island in the recent period. You must know that he wants to establish settlements in the surrounding environment full of various dangerous creatures. And expanding to the surrounding area requires a lot of resources. If Lawrence hadn't gotten higher and higher income from these cooperations, it would really not be able to support it.

More importantly, when Lawrence fulfilled the duties of a vassal, the emperor naturally also needed to fulfill his duties of vassalization, such as sheltering his vassals. This is why the Holy Visby Empire will send its own diplomats to the Lawrence platform at this time.

So now Lawrence is not worried about the next negotiation. After all, he is not the kind of adventurer who runs solo, and can be dismissed with a little bit of advantage. With the support of having a powerful empire, Lawrence believes that he can obtain the gains corresponding to his previous contributions in subsequent negotiations.

Therefore, after simply asking a few sentences and figuring out the joints inside, Lawrence immediately turned his attention to the issue of the suppression of the Sahua murloc. For current humans, if this part of the Sahua murloc can be completely cleaned up by this opportunity, then the surrounding sea area can be peaceful for a long time.

In addition, this Sahua murloc country is also an ancient country with a history of hundreds of years. According to common sense, the power of the prince now accounts for 1/5 of the entire country. After the opponent is completely defeated and abandoned by the gods, the troops responsible for cleaning up should be able to easily defeat those who are left behind and obtain large sums of money. wealth.

"What about the cleaning up of the Sahua murlocs?" Lawrence asked Nora who was floating in front of a portable telegraph and contacting the navy ship that was going to hunt down the Sahua murlocs. "Also, is there anything dangerous for Fatina on the road now? If I remember correctly, there are many Sahua murlocs who have left the front on the main battlefield."

"Well-now the situation should be better than you think. The opponent lacks command and has little morale. The most important thing is that the elite troops are basically all ruined in the previous battle. Therefore, although the Shahua murlocs were launched along the way I have counterattacked many times but it is not enough to be afraid." Nora said to Lawrence after she translated the code in her hand.

"The most important thing is that after losing the blessings of the gods, all the priests in this group of sahua murlocs lost their power. In their society, the priests are the only spellcasters. So all the actions of the other party now are ours. Under surveillance, the battlefield is basically unilaterally transparent to our coalition forces."

"According to Fatina's statement, last night they focused their attack on the giant ocean monsters. It is basically certain that they have completely eliminated those war crabs and more than half of the ocean monsters. By the way, they planned to kill a lot of them. The Sahua murloc elite who attacked them dimly."

"In other words, the next step is a simple hunt and final cleanup." Lawrence looked at the little doll and said, as a person who participated in the entire battle, Lawrence naturally knew that the murlocs were in this war. It can be said that the whole army is dispatched regardless of age.

Under such circumstances, as long as they can kill as many as possible the Sahua murlocs during the hunt, they will be able to face the almost zero-defense Sahua murloc settlements in the following time.

"Yes, the next navy work should be much easier~www.ltnovel.com~ Little doll Nara nodded and said. "Because after the night attack last night, the group of sahua fishes has obviously already Having lost the last force, it was obvious during the day that they had completely lost all kinds of counterattacks. "

"But it's better to remind Fatina to pay attention to their safety, especially at night." Lawrence motioned to Nora to send a telegram to Enterprise. "Compared with the daytime, Sahua people have an advantage at night. Moreover, they have previously shown weakness and suddenly attacked at night, so it is necessary to be vigilant."

"Fatina and the captain have called back together. They said they will be vigilant in the next time." A few minutes later, as the telegraph machine ticked for a while, Lawrence and the others received a telegram from the fleet. "And through the interrogation of the captives, they confirmed that there is a lot of wealth in the Sahua Murloc's lair."

"In short, safety is the first priority. Wealth will not run away there." Lawrence thought for a while and said, because there will be no other intelligent creatures around the nests of the sahuatans. The only two other Sahua murlocs who can pose a threat to this lair are now with the humans on other islands, so there is no time to return to the army.

Therefore, for Fatina and the others, there is no need to be too in a hurry, after all, even if the action is slow, it will not hinder the next action plan.
