Lignus Continental Biography

“It's an outrageous act that provokes us on purpose! As you all know, how vast is the realm of Ard? But, Erebh, is that training in Chirint, a territory adjacent to our borders?! ”

“Soldiers say the piles of dirt from the explosion crossed the border! How close are you to using a weapon?! ”

“So what do you want to do? Do we have to go to war with Alvard? ”

“Ugh…. Suddenly, why would Ald... ”

“Ha.”

In the words of the nobles flowing simultaneously from place to place, Serra Clifford, Queen of the Blue Scale, narrows her eyes.

She is in trouble with the sudden taunt of Aldhelf. However, there were factors that were uncertain as to why Aldrid was acting this way.

“This must be some kind of intentional behavior. We should send an envoy to find out what Yunho, Lord of the Alds, is willing to do. ”

“It wouldn't be a problem if King Irene Arthia had accepted the offer he had made when he visited the heroes of Ard before!" Why did you refuse to do that... Eww! ”

The nobles who were frightened by Ard's military actions continued to raise their voices, leaving no solution. It was like frightened chicks were moaning. Of course, no action was taken until the end of the meeting.

As the nobles retreated, Squid, the Duke of the Blue Scale, approached Seira and opened his mouth cautiously.

“It seems Yunho has been distracted by the broken technology agreement before and the construction of defensive facilities on the border of Ard this time. ”

“Phew. The defensive facility, however, was not our intention on the technical agreement. ”

“That doesn't tell us anything, does it? Most nobles don't even know about this. ”

According to Squid Suuda, Cedar Clifford gives no answer. The instability of the surrounding situation presses firmly against her head with a heavy crown.

Her delightful eyes were telling me how hard she was struggling.

“At that time, I had to refuse the offer of the angels. ”

“…… I had no choice. Thresh's offer was fascinating enough to captivate the nobles. ”

“And it's clutching our ankles. ”

Cera Clifford raises her jaw. It was a self-absorbed smile.

The Blue Scale, which was in peril in the war against Baratheon, was able to survive with the help of an arc. Rather, after the war, we were able to acquire four resource-rich territories of Baratheon, all of which were once occupied by the lake.

And a secret deal with the heavenly host was the process by which the Blue Scale, who did not build up much in the war, was able to hold these lands in their arms.

I want to move forward with each other, forgetting the past. We're here to help.

Heavy Thresh came to Swan's palace and said, And the nobles who fell on his tongue became captivated by the idea that they could possess the territory of Baratheon and agreed to lend the heavenly people an enormous amount of money.

And the weight of that money was now pressing down on the blue scale's shoulders.

“How much did it cost you to break the technology agreement? ”

“Five billion leases. ”

“Not that much of a mess when you think about our relationship with Ard. I thought we were cutting at least 10 billion leases. ”

“It's also discounted, including interest, so if you take the principal, it's only a small deduction. ”

“Ha. That's why I told you to borrow money... ”

Cera Clifford sighs. Thanks to this, the Blue Scale's financials were a complete mess. It was because less than half of the tax that was being paid was being passed on to the heavenly bodies. If it wasn't for the resource-rich territory of Baratheon and the developed territory of Duke Squid Suuda, the situation would have already been bankrupt.

“Another mistake made by the Diarin Merchant Guild. Maybe if there was a dumbest king in the world, it would be me. ”

“Your Majesty is no fool. The nobles of this country are fools. Including me, of course. ”

Squid picks up and smiles. Anyway, this is as far as I go. What matters now is how to get rid of the relationship with Aldhelm.

“I wish I could clarify my relationship with the heavenly host and gain their understanding. ”

“You know this is impossible, don't you? ”

The blowing blow hit Serra, and she tasted it. Like the duc said, there was a face of the country.

Moreover, when the heavenly bodies found out about it and asked about it as a problem, there was nothing more difficult than that. Eventually, two male and female bears slammed their heads, but they didn't have a sharp number like the noisy nobles.

“What?! Say it again!"

Tung Pao's whistle echoes in a splendid battle. Then a merchant leans over his waist and says,

“Thirty merchants have informed me that they will withdraw from Kerria Market and the Auction House. He said he would no longer do business with us. ”

“What, what! What the hell happened?! What do you mean the Merchants Guild has withdrawn? Why?! ”

“That……. I'm not sure what the details are. ”

“Yikes! Why are you staring at that?! You should have stopped him, no matter what kind of threat he made to his crotch! You worthless bastard!!! ”

Thung Pao's jaw flutters like a toad. Her whole body vomits with rage.

“I'm sorry. By the way, I heard a strange story from a member of the staff at the withdrawal agency. ”

“Weird story? What is that?! ”

Tung Pao, who was yelling at the whale, asked as if he was screaming with an unfinished face.

“He was a terminator who worked for Toran's Medium-sized Merchant Guild, and he said their merchant guild was going to Aldrid. And recently, there was a commercial district in the Limd Mountains region of Ald that resembled our Kerria market……. ”

“What?! Oh my!”

Thung Pao jumps to his feet. No, I tried to get up, but I had to sit down again with a nod due to my weight.

After all, the fact that the Thirty Merchant Guild had withdrawn was not a matter to be taken lightly. Moreover, the Laholov Merchant Guild, one of the top mercenaries of the Demibeast Kingdom, was also interposed.

Such a withdrawal from the Laholov Merchant Guild must have some effect on the merchants of other Demibeast Kingdoms.

‘I was told that the Knight King was exiled to Aldro.... ’

It was Thung Pao who was watching her company because of Kaltzmann's work. However, I haven't been paying much attention lately because I've only been quiet, even though time has passed. It seems that the Aldrites who are allied with the knight king are clearly pointing their swords at him.

“Damn……. We can't just stay here! ”

As I spit out my swear words, Thung Pao sharpened his teeth. He was greedy, and he hated it more than anything else.

“Tell all the merchants who have visited Mipitz that they will be temporarily withholding taxes. And tell those Demibeasts back there that I'll cut them some more taxes. Oh, even the heavenly host. ”

The same thing didn't happen until we completely eliminated the element from the source. So the first thing we had to do was prevent the hearts of the other merchants from opening up. I was in trouble when I heard someone talk about going to Aldro for no reason.

Then there was the punishment for the man who caused the trouble. The problem was that it was nearly impossible for Mipitz to raise an army to attack Alrd. Not only was the sea power incomplete, but the land power was no better than Ald's. The power of Ard's horseman squadron, who oversaw the Lyon Lane, was already rumored to have spread across the continent and even joined the Knight King.

“Mmmm... ”

Thung Pao glances slightly to the right of his seat. The white-winged hero gives a subtle look. A heavenly hero who came to trade with himself.

But I couldn't ask for the heavenly host's help in attacking Alrd. One of the things Tung Pao learned when he started trading with the heavenly bodies was that they were as greedy as he was. Having the help of the heavenly host is like having a rope around your neck.

It was a problem even if I could get help. Misfits could have been branded a traitor and assaulted by other kingdoms, including Ald.

‘Ah! There's a way. ’

As I was rolling my head, I suddenly remembered an idea, and the color on Tung Pao's face began to spin. Then he said as if he was screaming at the merchant who was still leaning down.

“Run now and fetch me the Rubik's Bird of Moed! ”

I started smiling at Tong Pao's mouth as I saw the merchant's back running from his command.

If MiFitz can't attack Ald himself, he can use someone else. And Moed borrowed a substantial amount of money from MiFitz to recover from the ongoing war.

‘It's a shame to get rid of the light for free.... ’

Considering the money you lent Moed, my face is distorted. But I had no choice. Then the heavenly hero, who had been sitting silently, smiled and opened his mouth.

“Something terrible has happened. You think we can help? ”

In the words of the heavenly hero, Tong Pao's eyebrows flinch once. Then a harsh voice flows from his mouth.

“We'll take care of it. I can make Alden's baby grow on his own without having to step up. ”

“You're talking about taking control of MiFitz. But Ard's philosophy is not an easy thing to think about. Don't forget that Lemos was defeated in the war against Golden Crow. ”

Tong Pao's voice flashes from the mouth of the heavenly hero for a moment. The accident of Lemos, which destroyed Serapim in the war against Golden Crow, has still remained a great shock to the heavenly host.

Howbeit the heavenly bodies were like enemies who could not live under the same heaven until they lost three of the ten angels by the hand of John.

“Mmmm... Well, I'm sure Ald's military strength is quite impressive. That's why I intend to use the kingdom of Moed to wage war against Ald. I have some money I lent to Moed. ”

“Oh? That's a good idea.... We may be able to help if we do this right. ”

“Can I help you? ”

When Tong Pao asked again, the heavenly hero made a circle with his finger instead of the answer. It was a gesture of money.

“I have a debt built on the Blue Scale. At least to the extent that they can start a war against Aldhelm. ”

“So after we unite Moed and the Blue Scale, let's attack Alder?" ”

“Yes. Of course, we will speak to the Blue Scale only if there is some profit to us." At least the higher angels will be able to convince us. Given the wealth of the Commercial Kingdom, it won't be too crowded. ”

“Tsk!”

Finally, Pao turned his head to the heavenly hero who asked for money with an impression. However, the proposal from the heavenly host was very attractive. It's so sweet you have to swallow it even though you know it's poison.

A few days later, one of the ten archangels departed from the heavenly capital Preteven to visit the Blue Scale.
