Magic Industry Empire

The cold wind screamed from the north wind and invaded the neck of Lieutenant Nokmo, so that he couldn’t help but take a nap and tightened his collar and shrunk his body.

Looking up, the dark clouds in the sky are thicker than they were when they left the camp. The gloomy as if they were covered with a layer of cotton that was not completely seeded.

“It looks like it’s going to snow again.” Lieutenant Nokmo gently exhales one breath saying, and formed a clear white mist in front of him.

It is already the weather in mid-November. For the small town of Greenwich, which is located in the middle of the original Farrac Kingdom and is also slightly north of the entire Sainz Continent, it is not surprising that it is snowing.

Lieutenant Nokmo was originally an aboriginal of a village near the town of Greenwich. He lived here for more than a decade and then left after joining the Farrac Kingdom army. Of course, he knows the weather very well.

“Hey, Captain, you said that this kind of ghost weather, do we still need to run out to patrol?” A Farrac Kingdom soldier with his neck narrowed behind Lieutenant Nokmo complained. “Even if the rabbits are too cold to go out, I don’t believe that the Lanpali people will attack in this weather.”

Lieutenant Nokmo looked back and gave him a look, coldly snorted: “Close your beak, Makan. This is the order explained above, do you have the courage to not perform?”

The soldier, known as Makan, took a sip and muttered: “It is not the order of our Frankish chief, why do you have to listen. Those Marlow empire guys will only direct us to help them do this dirty work, have the ability Come on.”

Lieutenant Knocker frowned, gazing at the other members of the patrol squad and found that their faces were not too different from Makan, and they all showed a sense of dissatisfaction, and they could not help sighed.

This is not surprising.

Don’t say that these soldiers are dissatisfied, even if he is also somewhat dissatisfied.

Although with the help of the Marlow Empire, their Farrac Kingdom exile government and their army finally had the hope of regaining their territory from Lanpali Kingdom and Drake Duchy, but because of the absolute superiority of the Marlow Imperial Army in the coalition, The soldiers of these Farrac Kingdoms were always sent out to do all kinds of dirty work. In the calculation of military work, but when they do not exist, it will naturally lead to the soldiers in the Farrac Kingdom are extremely dissatisfied.

However, as a military officer, Nokmo was more than what these ordinary soldiers knew, so he understood that there was no way to do this.

Without the help of the Marlow Empire. Farrac Kingdom has been extinct a few months ago, and there is no possibility of counterattack.

Even if it wasn’t for the Marlow Empire, despite the possibility of invading the taboos, several Magisters would be involved in the war. I am afraid that even the Marlow Empire would have no way to take Lanpali Kingdom and Drake Duchy. The Farrac Kingdom relied on its own strength to regain the country and there was no hope of success.

So in the end, Farrac Kingdom is completely relying on the Marlow Empire. What qualifications do you have to talk about your status?

Complain about the soldiers. Lieutenant Knockmo can understand, but relatively speaking, although he is also a little dissatisfied, but more is still grateful.

If it wasn’t for the help of the Marlow Empire, it would be difficult for him to return to this familiar land in this life.

A few months ago, the coalition of the Farrac Kingdom and the Marlow Empire retreated after the coalition attack of the Lanpali Kingdom and Drake Duchy, and after the Greenwich town was handed over, Lieutenant Knock and himself stayed in the vicinity of the village. The family has completely lost contact.

And half a month ago, after the Mafa coalition forces regained the small town of Greenwich from the hands of Lanpali Kingdom, Lieutenant Nokmo took the time to go back. Reconnected with my family.

Because of this, Lieutenant Norkmo certainly has a grateful gratitude to the Marlow Empire.

But when he thought about the situation when he met with his family again, Lieutenant Knockmo felt that his heart’s gratitude to the Marlow Empire was not so clear…

After seeing his family, unexpectedly, the family not only did not suffer the persecution of the Lanpali Kingdom army as he imagined, but instead they were all red light and full of spirit, except that they were worried because they lost contact with him. In addition, the days seem to have been better than before.

After mentioning the situation after the occupation of Lanpali Kingdom, the family did not complain about the Lanpali Kingdom. Even full of praise, after the Lanpali Kingdom occupied this place, they directly removed most of the heavy taxes that they ordinary farmers pay each year, and also sent a farmland Magic Power mechanical harvesting team to help them in the previous autumn harvest. Harvesting. This makes their autumn harvest this year very easy.

Because of this, the parents and the grown-up younger brother who stayed at home can save some time to go to the Lanpali Kingdom. Several Chamber of Commerce set up a small office in the small town of Greenwich. And earned a total of more than 30 gold coins.

This situation is greatly out of the expectation of Lieutenant Nokmo, but also gave him a bit of doubt in his heart.

The small town of Greenwich was originally a private territory belonging to the Farrac Kingdom Green Earl. When the land was under the control of Farrac Kingdom, the Farrac Kingdom people on the territory had to pay a large amount of tax to the lord Green Earl. Only part of the ration can be left to fill the stomach.

Although Green Earl is one of the rare consciences in the Farrac Kingdom who are willing to take care of the civilian life, the people of almost all the territories, including Lieutenant Knockmo, are still very nervous, and hungry is even more Always.

When the territory near the small town of Greenwich fell into the control of the Lanpali Kingdom, it directly relieved the tax that the civilians should have paid in the majority of the land, and instantly changed the lives of these civilians.

Do not say anything else, just the middle of the house of Nokmo, in this autumn harvest, harvested a full three thousand three pounds of wheat.

If you put it in the past, you should have eight hundred kilograms of this thousand and three hundred kilograms of wheat handed over to Green Earl, and then leave the part left to be seeded, and you will only have four hundred pounds left.

Lieutenant General Nokmo, apart from the Lieutenant Nokmo, who has already joined the army, and five people, must rely on the four hundred pounds of wheat to support the spring harvest next year. The hardships of the days can be imagined.

However, after being occupied by the Lanpali Kingdom, according to the new policy announced by the Lanpali Kingdom, the 3,000-pound wheat only needs to pay three hundred kilograms, and the rest is left to the house of Nockmoor.

One kilogram of wheat compared to the previous area of ​​four hundred kilograms of wheat. That’s more than twice as much, and naturally the life of Lieutenant Nokmo’s family is much better.

And after the Lanpali Kingdom occupied the small town of Greenwich, several Chamber of Commerce from Lanpali Kingdom, Rudson Kingdom, and Drake Duchy followed, and various preliminary developments were made in the small town of Greenwich. A large number of local recruits have enabled many people to find a job and receive several or even dozens of golden coins that the civilians could not even think of before.

With the help of the gold coin, Lieutenant Nokmo’s life at home was more comfortable.

Because of the lack of food and clothing, the winter of the past is the most difficult day for Lieutenant Nokmo’s family. However, after entering the winter this year, the remaining five people in the house of Nockmoor not only can fully eat, but also bought two new gold coins for their work with their parents and the younger brother who has grown up. A new cotton jacket from the Armani Chamber of Commerce in Lanpali Kingdom no longer has to be hungry as before.

I remembered the two new cotton jackets that the younger brother younger sister showed off before, and the nuns of Nokmo couldn’t help but look down at their own clothes.

As an officer, his clothes are of course stronger than ordinary soldiers, but it is just a thin cotton jacket that’s all under a rotten leather armor that is rough and hard to wear.

I don’t need to touch it by hand. It is because of the body that I can feel how light and thin this cotton jacket is, even allowing him to feel the cold wind directly infiltrated, showing the quality of the cotton jacket.

However, this is a bad cotton jacket. While being equipped with him, he was forcibly deducting three gold coins from his officer.

You must know that his year as a lieutenant officer is only fifteen gold coins.

Thinking of this, Nockmo’s mouth was once again raising a bitter smile.

In the past, his fifteen gold coins each year was a great supplement to the family, which made the life of the family slightly better than other families in the village. This also made him feel a lot special every time he returned home. Preferential treatment.

However, now, just the younger brother who went to Lanpali Kingdom’s office in the small town of Greenwich, played a few months of short-term work, has already earned more than ten gold coins.

Coupled with the income of his parents, his fifteen gold coins are less important.

Even the younger brother talked to him about this. Still sullenly letting him not be a soldier, it is better to go to the Chamber of Commerce in Lanpali Kingdom.

Because he heard that doing well in the Chamber of Commerce, even getting fifteen gold coins a month is not surprising.

Other than that. There is also a very obvious difference.

Younger brother younger sister The new cotton jacket worn on the body is warm and looks good. When you buy it from the Armani Chamber of Commerce, you only need one gold coin and zero 40 Silver Coin.

If you buy two pieces at a time, you can even get ten Silver Coins cheaper.

In comparison, the value of this thin cotton jacket on his body is too much to read.

But Lieutenant Norkmo is still hard to complain about. Because in the previous Farrac Kingdom or in the Marlow empire that he stayed in these months, the price of cotton quilts filled with precious cotton is high.

Just relying on this thin cotton jacket on his body, it is not a problem to take out two gold coins.

Heaven knows Why is this damn Armani Chamber of Commerce so cheap to sell them?

But after thinking about it, it would make sense for Farrac Kingdom to reject the Armani Chamber of Commerce into the Farrac Kingdom.

If the Armani Chamber of Commerce comes in, the merchants in Farrac Kingdom who rely on selling cotton quilts every winter will probably be squeezed out.

However… what does this have to do with ordinary civilians?

As a Silver Coin, you can’t wait to open the carefully spent civilians. Who wouldn’t want to buy a new cotton jacket that is cheap and especially warm, and even looks better?

“big brother, if it is always occupied by the Lanpali Kingdom, it will be fine.”

Thinking of the eleven-year-old younger sister of this year, with the innocent words spoken by the big eyes, the smile on the face of Lieutenant Nokmo is a bit deeper.

This sounds naive, but isn’t it the heart of the younger sister, or even the heart of the parents and the younger brother, or even the hearts of all the civilians near the small town of Greenwich? (To be continued.)
