This lich needs more money

Chapter 99 War and Storm

Viscount Letterman had to seriously consider Amberxiu's suggestion.

By paying a little gold and minerals, can the dwarf king send troops to assist him? If the price is right, it's not impossible.

The Alchemy City is now in chaos, with the small lords annexing each other in various ways. The big lords are worried that they will fall into the trap of others if they make the first move, so they stand still. On the surface it doesn't look too chaotic, but in reality a storm is brewing.

When the big lord comes down and starts fighting, this land will be completely plunged into melee.

Once Silvermoon Highgarden invades, the situation will become more complicated.

Silver Moon Highgarden is a behemoth, and the fighting power of the elves cannot be resisted by any lord. Although Viscount Lightman believes in Thanos, the Lord of Storms, Crazy Pi is not an idiot, and he can still see this difference clearly.

Therefore, the assistance of the dwarf king is necessary, and you can also use the power of the dwarf king in the early stage to expand your territory as soon as possible and accumulate stronger power to deal with the invasion of the elves.

Alas, it's just that those elves were too arrogant. They didn't accept any conditions other than the transfer of the territory, and they must drive everyone away.

With this premise, cooperation becomes much simpler.

Viscount Letterman stated that he was willing to accept this kind of employment cooperation.

Amber Xiu was very happy. With the intention to cooperate, the next step was simply bargaining.

The dwarf king paid gold to buy land to settle immigrants from the golden country, at the price of one million gold coins per hundred square kilometers.

It seems a bit cheap, but the Golden Country is not picky. As long as the area is enough, no matter whether it is a mountain, canyon or lake, we will give you a unified price. Many wastelands that are unsuitable for human survival are not wanted in the first place. As long as someone is sent to draw a circle and handed over when the Kingdom of Gold arrives, it will be considered that he has completed the contract.

Then, Viscount Lightman paid for gold and minerals and hired troops from the Kingdom of Gold to fight for him. Amberxiu was responsible for coordination as a middleman. The specific price depended on how many troops Viscount Lightman needed and what type of troops he needed. This arrangement Bai Xiu needs to make a new list to calculate how much money he makes.

The point is, the City of Gold spent money, and Viscount Letterman spent money, but neither of them knew the other spent money.

To put it simply, the transaction of materials and arms belongs to them. Amberxiu, the middleman, only wants gold and minerals. He is really very conscientious.

This discussion lasted for most of the day before the method and amount of assistance were roughly finalized.

Although both Kingdom of Gold and Viscount Letterman felt that they had not made much money, Amber Hew felt that it was very good and this would be a very successful cooperation.

In the magnificent palace of Salokma, the Kingdom of Gold, the Dwarf King had rested early.

Over the years, the Lion Empire has been pressing harder and harder, but the dwarf king's spirit and body have become worse day by day. In recent years, major domestic affairs have been handed over to the Hand of the King, Hoffman Iron Fist.

True to his name, Hoffman Iron Fist's right hand was severed at the wrist and replaced with a fist made of steel. This was chopped off by the Holy Slash during the battle with the Lion Empire, but Hoffman also killed three paladins in the subsequent battle.

His bravery was recognized by the Dwarf King and he was able to enter the royal family's sight.

Later, Hoffman served as an administrative official for a period of time. The dwarf king found that he was better at handling government affairs, so he slowly promoted him to his confidant.

Until the dwarf king's health failed, and now the kingdom is managed by Hoffman Ironfist alone.

At this moment, Huggie Stone was sitting opposite Hoffman Iron Fist, communicating with Amberxiu through the Undead Code, and then telling Amberxiu's opinion to the Hand of the King.

Hoffman Iron Fist said to Huggie Stone: This friend of yours is a master of business negotiation. Every condition is just right, so I can't refuse at all.

Huggie Stone smiled and said: Yeah, it's really accurate.

There is also the second half of the sentence that Huggie Stone did not say, that is, Amberxiu did not give him even the slightest opportunity for the middleman to make a profit difference.

In the previous discussion, the conditions proposed by Amber Xiu were all things that the dwarf kingdom could pay. It seemed that the price could be negotiated, but while chatting, Amber Xiu directly offered several prepared prices. When Huggie Stone saw it, his fangs were almost broken. This gave him almost no room for the middleman to make a difference.

It's not completely unprofitable, but it's far from what Huggie Stone thought.

Hoffman Iron Fist just pretended not to know this, and just said to Huggie Stone: I have known you for many years. Don't worry, I understand what we should do as friends. It's just that your friend is over there in the Alchemy City. How many connections are there? If it’s just Viscount Letterman, it doesn’t mean much to our entire plan.”

But Huggie Stone said: You don't have to worry about this. No matter how many friends he originally had, they will quickly increase in number now. The lords of the Alchemy City have only two choices, either Silver Moon Highgarden or the Golden Kingdom. According to Due to the arrogant habits of the elves, we can win over most of the lords in advance. The only thing we need to worry about is whether we have enough power to protect these lords.

Silvermoon Highgarden seems to have sent out all the Twilight Guards.

Hoffman Iron Fist nodded and said: I understand what you mean. Viscount Lightman is a role model. We need to ensure his safety and let others see it, so that they will have the confidence to cooperate with us. I will send a team of A hundred Dwarven Iron Guards went to protect our allies.

Huggie Stone blinked his eyes and said in surprise: That's a lot of money.

The Dwarf Iron Guard can be regarded as a special guard for the royal family. They are best at protecting the leader's safety and are extremely proficient in counter-assassination. Hoffman Iron Fist was able to send a hundred dwarf iron guards to Viscount Lightman, because he was determined to plant a solid nail in the Alchemy City.

Old friends, are you really ready to give up on the desert? Huggie Stone asked, Is the war situation so difficult?

Hoffman Iron Fist smiled bitterly and said helplessly: We are indeed no match for the Lion Empire. Even according to the most optimistic estimates, more than half of Salokma's land will fall. They have been training for the desert environment over the years. The young paladins on the battlefield have completely adapted to the desert environment. Only by retreating beyond the death line of the desert and relying on the endless sandstorm can we stop Ryan's invasion.

The entirety of Salokma is located in the desert, with various city-states built around hundreds of oases, large and small.

The so-called death line is a thin line in the middle of the Salokma land. There are never-ending sandstorms in this location. If a set of newly forged plate armor is put in, it will be worn away by the sand and there will be holes everywhere in less than two days. .

Such an environment is so harsh that almost no living things can survive here.

Salokma can cross this line of death through the underground passages left by ancient civilizations and achieve communication between the two sides.

According to what Hoffman Iron Fist meant, the dwarves in the Kingdom of Gold probably want to give up the territory north of the death line, then block the underground passages, and use this endless sandstorm to resist Ryan's attack. This means that they have to give up even the dwarf palace in front of them.

The battle situation has turned out to be so difficult, and Huggie Stone couldn't help but show a worried expression.

The Lane Empire is the natural enemy of all dark creatures. As Lane becomes stronger and stronger, the living space for Huggie Stone becomes smaller and smaller. Once the Kingdom of Gold, Salokma, completely falls, vampires like him will have no choice but to flee. Heki Stone thought that helping the Kingdom of Gold now was to help himself, so he decided to put it away and earn the difference, first to help the Dwarf Kingdom through this difficulty.

Hoffman Iron Fist said to Huggie Stone: It will take time to assemble the dwarf iron guards and deploy the continental teleportation array. During this time, the elves will not do nothing. Remind your friends that in our iron Before Wei arrives, we must protect Viscount Letterman.

Huggie Stone nodded and decided to send those gargoyles to Amber Xiu today. Viscount Lightman was the key and he must not be allowed to be assassinated by the elves.

However, Huggie Stone's awakening was still a little slow.

Just when Amberxiu and Viscount Lightman had been discussing for a whole day and were about to reach an agreement, the elves had already lost their patience.

A man who claimed to be the envoy of the Dwarf Kingdom chatted with Viscount Lightman behind closed doors for a whole day. I'm afraid I can imagine the outcome with my fingers.

Therefore, the Twilight Guards did not wait foolishly, but forcefully stated that they wanted to meet Viscount Lightman.

The Lord, who was calculating how much he had lost, naturally did not want to pay attention to these arrogant elves. After expressing that they were not free now, these elves chose the most direct method.

The tower where Ambersho and Viscount Letterman were located was attacked by elves.

At first, it was just dozens of crossbow arrows shot from the night sky.

Amberxiu summoned his golden throne without hesitation, and then turned the back of his chair.

The arrows clinked onto the back of the chair and all bounced away.

When not using power, this is a chair made of pure gold. The back of the chair is almost half a meter thick, and even magic cannons cannot penetrate it.

But Viscount Letterman was not so lucky. Although he deployed his magic shield in time, he was still grazed by several arrows, causing large sparks on his chainmail. One of the arrows still It stabbed into his shoulder, and I don't know if there was any blood.

The elves' offensive didn't stop there. Several strong figures appeared. The elves used the wandering step to teleport to the tower. They waved their swords and rushed towards Viscount Lightman.

Damn the elves! I want you to see the angry thunder!

Viscount Lightman roared, and countless electric lights surged out of his body. His roaring voice was like substance, trying to knock these elves away.

Three elves flew backwards, but two elves were unaffected by the powerful sound. The scimitar in their hands was already about to strike Viscount Lightman.

In the flash of lightning, Amber prepared to rescue, but Viscount Letterman was stronger than he imagined.

Viscount Lightman was seen raising the hammer at his waist, and blazing white lightning shot out from his hammer, jumping repeatedly on the two elves.

The Storm Priest's signature skill, chain lightning, took full damage from these two unlucky elves, and they probably wouldn't survive.

Amber Xiu's guess was completely accurate. When the lightning dissipated, the two elves at the front turned into two balls of coke.

Viscount Lightman crushed the head of one of the charred corpses with his foot, no longer having to suppress his anger.

Pass my order, kill all the elves!

My fault, I was so sick that I was dizzy. I didn’t pay attention when I typed it. It was one million for one hundred square kilometers. My mistake. It has been corrected. Thank you everyone for pointing it out.
