Lignus Continental Biography

The new capital of Golden Crow has been named Hamileon.

The decision was inevitable because Altra was occupied by the heavenly bodies, but it was not a bad decision to establish itself as a capital because it was the territory that had always been called the second capital of the Golden Crow and spread widely around the grain panels.

However, many of the nobles of Golden Crow rebelled against such knight king's orders.

“You're giving up the capital?! ”

“Many of Altra's people ask for our help, my king! ”

“Near Hamileon is the Holy Land of Iris, a suitable country. To reassure the people, the capital should be a safe place! ”

The nobles who raised a vein around their necks and expressed their opposition were mostly high-ranking nobles with Altra's support base. Existing indigenous nobles were there, wrinkling Hamileon.

Moreover, Irene Artia was not able to run the government properly as she started installing even the subnobles who did their bidding. However, I couldn't kill all the nobles who opposed my will.

The Knights who pledged their allegiance to her lost most of their lives in the war against the Celestial People, and the Golden Knights also suffered near extinction. Even in the middle of the war, the forces of the nobles who brought in the soldiers with their hard-earned wealth surpassed the royal troops.

“You said the materials haven't arrived yet? ”

“The baron's merchant guild refused to transport the materials, despite the king's orders. You're out of your mind.”

“The Knight King won't stand by.... Isn't there another big fight going on? ”

In the strange atmosphere that began in the palace, there began to be anxiety on the faces of the colonists, and there was a sudden increase in fighting for a small reason. It was becoming less and less secure. But Hamileon didn't have the talent or the soldiers to make that right.

Economic situation was poor Because the infrastructure was destroyed by the heavenly bodies, Reese and the situation of food were pointing to the worst, and because of the nobles who opposed the order to move the capital, elongated castles were erupted in the conference room, but productive meetings were not proceeding.

“Impossible to carry out the restoration of Hamileon with royal funds alone, since taxes have not been paid properly. Even so, the nobles won't stand up for themselves...”

“You mean you have to ask someone else for help. ”

At Irene Arthia's words, Gnay Kaltzmann, who was sitting across from her, first told the story, slowly nodded his head. He sighed deeply as if Irene Arthia was frustrated to see such a figure of ash.

“But is there anyone who can help us? ”

“First, I'm going to ask the Seven Kingdoms for help. ”

“The Seven Kingdoms? ”

At that time, she tilted her head.

“Indeed……. But will they help us? The bond of the Seven Kingdoms lasts for a long time. Victor of Baratheon will enjoy what we've become, and he won't be able to afford Moed and Cece. I've heard that the Republic of Kirin is in a similar situation to ours. ”

If it were Yunho, he would have thought of asking other factions, such as Elves and Dwarves, for help, but the Knight King had no other kind of name in his head. And so was Kaltzmann.

Ard was also an option. Golden Crow, however, relied too much on Ald at the moment.

“There is a Commercial Kingdom of MiFitz. ”

“That's a terrible choice. That guy in MiFitz is unbelievable. ”

Irene Artia looks offended as she recalls Tung Pao ruling the commercial kingdom. The greedy creature changed its behavior and attitude like a bat for its own benefit. Moreover, in this war, Golden Crow even got beaten up by MiFitz in the back.

“That's why I'm going to ask for more help. in exchange for breaking the bonds of the Seven Kingdoms. ”

“That's the threat we can make when we have the strength. Tung Pao knows more about our situation than anyone else. ”

“I'm sure you will. MiFitz's money is everywhere on the continent. ”

Gnay Kaltzmann blinks a few times in his actions, agreeing to what he says. And after thinking about something for a while, she touches her emerald hair a few times and opens her mouth slowly.

“You'll be escorting me. Are you going to ask Ard for help? ”

“That's right.”

To overcome the current situation, I was going to have to reach out to the straws. In Golden Crow, however, King Ard and his army are stationed there. It was a powerful army that evaporated Lemos, one of the ten angels boasted by the heavenly host, and a million troops in a heartbeat.

Even though MiFitz's gold strength was strong, Ald's military strength was able to lightly crush MiFitz's gold. Almost as rich as MiFitz.

“But will Aldhelf's scrutiny move with our will?" ”

“I've already heard the answer. He said he would act lightly enough for the military. ”

“... better than those useless nobles. But we must not forget that we owe them so much. ”

Horses act lightly, but it is never easy to move hundreds of thousands of soldiers. She had spent half her life on the battlefield, making her reputation as a knight king, and even more so.

“It may not be possible right now, but we should invite him and his chieftains to hold a feast before returning to Hoga Alder." You can, right? Gnay Kaltzmann. ”

“I'll make it possible. ”

The financial situation in Golden Crow was so bad that they couldn't even hold a grand banquet for the people who helped them. However, Irene Artia looked satisfied with the positive answer from Kaltzmann's mouth.

“Then let's finish what we're doing and head to MiFitz. ”

“I hear MiFitz's movements have been unusual lately. I think we should take more guards with us. ”

“Very well. But what can I do for you?" And this slave labor force can swing to some degree black. Haha. ”

“I'm well aware of your swordsmanship... Isn't he brilliant enough to express himself? After all, Tung Pao is a cunning and untrustworthy man. Take care.”

The worrying young knight Kaltzmann nods. A few days later, an envoy of more than a hundred, including him, headed to MiFitz.

* * *

With the reputation of the Commercial Kingdom, MiFitz was making enormous fortune brokering against naval trade, merchants of Elves, Dwarves, Demibeasts, and Celestial Merchants using geographical advantages. In MiFitz, the largest market in Kerria had access to all the continental specialties, and in an auction house called PLACTI, they could buy anything with money.

The governor of such MiFitz is Tung Pao, the owner of the Fao Merchant Guild. His mansion was stacked with rare treasures of gold from the continent, and hundreds of merchant ships filled with various supplies and food.

Tung Pao has been lending large loans to human kingdoms and nobles who need money for various wars, increasing his influence gradually. It was already in the economic realm of MiFitz, the Kingdom of Moed, and Baratheon needed to see MiFitz in order to maintain his current military strength.

“That's enormous.”

“I heard it's the most spectacular city on the continent.... It's incomparable to Hamileon. ”

The Golden Crow envoy arriving in MiFitz had to be fascinated by the spectacular landscape of MiFitz for a moment. Only Gnay Kaltzmann, who had visited MiFitz several times, was calm.

‘The Seven Kingdoms' bonds have been completely broken, according to the king. Are you just going to watch the Golden Crow crisis while showing off like this? Tung Pao? "

The current situation in Irene Artia was the worst. The powerful army that maintained her authority was wiped out in the war against the heavenly host, and the royal treasury was empty because of the ongoing war. And the nobles who were well aware of that were engaged in a coup of their own, with the exception of a few loyal royals.

Thanks to this, the victims were only ordinary people who did nothing wrong. Even if Irene Artia's personal dance was on the move, there was no way to overcome the situation unless she had any money to spend.

“Gnay Kaltzmann? The old man's with you? ”

Tung Pao immediately agreed to meet with the mission when he reported that the Golden Crow mission had arrived. Although Golden Crow's beak and claw were both clipped, Toong Pao's name was clearly included in the mission.

“This is perfect. ”

Moreover, it was clear that Gnay Kalzmann, according to Humans, would be a good gift for a force that is rapidly approaching itself. That's how Tong Pao and Gnay Kaltzmann met.

“You need money? ”

The words of Tong Pao, who came out of a battle decorated with glittering gold and jewels, disfigured the Golden Crow. The mission of a country was too arrogant to speak in front of Kaltzmann, the Chancellor of Golden Crow.

But there was no change in Kaltzmann's expression at that age. I already know the truth about Tung Pao's arrogance. I was not old enough to be provoked by such provocation. For a long time, I've seen more than this when I was the Chancellor of Golden Crow.

“Yes. We need about 10 billion leases in funding to recover Hamileon and its surrounding lands, destroyed in the Celestial War. ”

“10 billion leases? That would be about 400 million interest a month if it were calculated to be 10 years overdue……. Will Golden Crow be able to pay back that much? ”

400 million?

Kaltzmann's expression hardened. It was because the number that came out of Tong Pao's mouth was unrealistic. But I couldn't back down like this.

“Even the Laholov Merchants Guild, called Death Merchants, doesn't charge that much interest. ”

“So the Laholov Merchant Guild is smaller than my Fao Guild? And 10 billion. It's money you can buy and operate a Class B horse heat machine. ”

“Are you telling me that our Golden Crow is less than a grade B horseradish? ”

“No? But I'm well aware that Golden Crow is in an awkward situation. ”

Tung Pao's words were close to intimidation. And Kaltzmann felt a kind of disgust for some reason due to his attitude. Is this what it looks like in front of the envoys of the hostiles? Even though Tung Pao was arrogant and arrogant, his appearance was clearly strange.

What are you thinking? Tung Pao. ’

At that moment, Kaltzmann silenced his mouth and found tension in his intestines. It was because the characters on both sides stared at each other and said nothing. After such a short silence, Kaltzmann slowly opened his mouth.

“You don't have to do anything stupid to put a collar around our necks. ”

It was an urgent situation. But if I borrowed money from MiFitz, I could almost see the country's economy collapse completely. I thought I'd try to intimidate him with Ard's movements, but somehow the air around him seems strange. I felt like I had to get out of here right now.

And Tong Pao rolls up his chunky mouth.

“It won't be worth it to come all this way. I'm sorry to hear that. ”

“Golden Crow will never forget this, Tung Pao. ”

“Well, suit yourself. ”

The face of Gnae Kaltzmann, who had been silent for so long, shrugged his shoulders. His fist is full of fury, but there's nothing he can do about it now. And it was at that age that Kaltzmann turned around.
