Red Dragon Emperor

Three days after the end of the empire ceremony.

Oka City, Red Fort, Throne Hall.

Jose sat on the throne, with a piece of white paper full of handwriting suspended in front of him. His face was serious, and it was obvious that there was not much good news recorded on the paper.

With a thought, the suspended paper burned spontaneously without fire, turning into ashes and dissipating in the air.

"Well, you a trading city! The negotiation failed, but I was behind you!"

Things have to start from the day of the Empire Ceremony. On the day of the Empire Ceremony, the Fuse Empire demonstrated the empire's ability to produce potions on a large scale. There is no doubt that this has epoch-making significance in the history of potions.

Anyone with a little bit of knowledge can understand that the progress of civilization will bring massive economic benefits.

After the military parade at the Imperial Grand Ceremony, the representatives of the trade city-states came to the door immediately and put forward their willingness to cooperate. The Fusei Empire supplies and the trade city-state distributes, and the income is divided into half.

If it was in the past, when the country was poor and weak, Jose might have agreed.

But now the Fosse Empire is not what it used to be, and it has already been able to transport goods to all parts of the mainland by itself, without having to look at anyone's face.

Moreover, mass production of potions is the exclusive secret of the Fuse Empire. The Empire has absolute dominance in this matter. It is a bit taken for granted that the trading city-state wants to take 50% of the profits through distribution.

Unsurprisingly, the two powers fell apart.

Jose did not take this matter to heart, because cheap potions were not worried about selling, but he did not expect the trading city-states to use state-level forces to lobby and persuade many southern countries to ban the purchase of Fusai Empire potions.

You must know that the South is the richest area in Tedanor, and it is also the main force of pharmaceutical consumption. The annual consumption of pharmaceuticals in southern countries accounts for 70% of the total pharmaceutical consumption of the continent.

The market suddenly shrank by 70%, and even the Fusai Empire felt a headache.

Below, Ying Gou's face is also a bit ugly: "Your Majesty, the trading city is too much this time. We must teach them an unforgettable lesson for life!"

"Okay, what are you going to do?" Jose leaned back and changed to a more comfortable position.

Ergou said without hesitation: "We will retaliate and reduce the quantity of horses, food, magic items and other commodities given to the trading city-states, leaving them out of stock."

Jose thought for a while, shook his head, and rejected Er Gou's proposal: "This is just killing a thousand enemies and hurting yourself by 800."

"Furthermore, the southern region is rich and well-developed. Food, weapons, and horses are not in urgent need. Trade city-states can also find alternatives, but the alternatives are more expensive. If you put it together, you may still lose one thousand yourself and kill 800 enemies. , We have to deal with it rationally and pay attention to strategy."

With that said, Jose used magical power to project a map of Tedanor in the air. The map is divided into two parts, red and blue. Red represents the Fuse Empire, blue represents the southern region, and the boundary between red and blue lies in the middle of the continent.

The red dragon glanced at the countries close to the Fuse Empire. The land of these human countries is red on the map. This is because the kings of the countries were forced by the powerful power of the Fuse Empire, and thus declined the trade city-state envoys.

The gap between these countries and the Fuchs Empire is too great. Even if no force is used, just launching a food embargo in a year of famine or funding enemy countries can bring disasters to all countries.

This is the sphere of influence radiation brought about by strength!

"Since the kingdom official doesn't allow it to be sold, then we will sell it secretly."

On the throne, Jose slowly uttered two words: "Smuggling...smuggling."

Mei Gou suddenly said: "Your Majesty is wise! Cheap potions are such a great opportunity to make money. Those greedy black market merchants would rather take the risk of decapitation and do it, so that the means of trading city-states will be self-defeating."

"Yes, but it's not just black market merchants, those greedy nobles, corrupt border guards, we can fight for it."

"The king's ban?"

Jose's mouth curled up with a touch of disdain: "In the face of the tide of the times, even the king's ban is not just a man's arm."

"Understood, I'll go down and make arrangements," Er Gou retreated.

The red dragon stayed alone in the throne hall, sitting on the throne, pondering, thinking about how to deal with the trading city-states.

The king’s ban is not what he is most worried about. As mentioned earlier, in the face of the tide of civilization and progress, even the king is not a mantis blocking the carriage.

What he really worries about is that the trading city-states have also developed methods for mass production of medicines during these periods of confrontation.

After thinking about it, he felt unlikely.

As the most basic idea of ​​assembly line operation in the factory, Jose ordered the prohibition of dissemination, not to mention the more advanced magical instruments.

The only thing to guard against is that the trading city-state sends out spies to spy on the Faith Empire Pharmacy Factory for stealing teachers and learning skills.

However, as early as when planning the pharmaceutical factory, Jose put the safety of the factory first, and the security facilities are absolutely top-notch on the mainland.

"I hope the trading city-states don't use their brains, otherwise..."

Jose thought for a while, and found that he had quite a lot of cards against the trading city-states.

Among the large quantities of commodities exported by the Fuse Empire, a considerable part of them are special products of the Empire, and some have obvious price advantages. These products can all be used as a means to fight back against the trading city-states.

In addition, at the military level, shipping is the main means in the North-South trade situation.

The Fusai Empire has murlocs and water dragons.

If the trading city really annoyed Jose, then the murlocs under Cassie would never mind being a guest pirate and smashing the trading city's maritime merchant ships.

With the blessing of intelligence from the Fosse Empire, murlocs and other aquatic species are much more ferocious than pirates.

…………

In the middle of the mainland, the border of the Kingdom of Gebus.

In the dark night, a caravan of ten carriages lit torches and marched in the darkness.

In the silent night, walking in the wilderness, this is naturally not a normal caravan.

They are smugglers.

"Be careful! The car is full of treasures, it broke me to kill you!" The leader of the caravan-One-eyed Jack roared viciously.

While scolding his subordinates, Jack carefully scanned the surrounding wilderness, a faint gleam in his one eye.

The night is when the wild animals are active, and it is not even a bit more dangerous than during the day. The wild natives such as the jackals, and the extraordinary beasts represented by the prairie wolf will come out to hunt at night.

Dare to cross the wilderness at night, one-eyed Jack is naturally not a simple character.

He was originally an army officer, but unfortunately he was captured on the battlefield and became a slave to the enemy country. Later, he was bought by an evil magician.

In the laboratory of the evil mage, he was tortured and went through a series of brutal and inhumane magic experiments. He also lost one eye. However, because of a blessing in disguise, he obtained the magical resistance that ordinary humans cannot possess strong magic resistance. And dark vision.

Later, taking advantage of the magician's going out, Jack escaped and joined a band of robbers. With the powerful strength of high-ranking fighters and the military talents brought by his military career, he became the leader of the band and led the band to grow and develop.

Officials and bandits have been a family since ancient times.

Jack also climbed into the relationship between the fallen aristocracy, and often helped the aristocracy deal with some shameful activities, and with the support of the aristocracy, he started a lucrative smuggling business.

Because of dark vision, he engaged in late-night smuggling that ordinary smugglers would not dare to do.

This time, Jack’s nobleman didn’t know where to get a batch of potions produced by the Fusei Empire and shipped them to the Kingdom of Gubus, where the sale of Fusei's potions was prohibited.

Ooo~!

There was a long howl of wolves in the lonely wilderness, and the bandits of the part-time caravan couldn't help but increase their vigilance. They scanned the surroundings for fear that an extraordinary beast would suddenly pop out.

Fighting with extraordinary beasts in the wilderness at night is terrible.

"Boss! These prairie green wolves..."

"What are you afraid of! Counsel!"

Jack directly interrupted his men: "The howling of the wolf is far away. Moreover, it is not the winter of food shortage. The prairie wolf will not attack the tricky prey. So many of us, what are we afraid of?!"

Having said that, Jack looked around vigilantly.

Since being ambushed and captured, he has deeply understood a truth-carefully sailing the ship for thousands of years.

Ooo~!

This unique wolf howl is not the wolf howl of the prairie green wolf, but the wolf howl of the jackal wolf.

Everyone's faces changed, and the howling of the wolf was very close, which meant that there was a wild robber—the jackal man nearby.

Sure enough, a group of wolves rushed out of the darkness, let out a ferocious low growl, and surrounded the smuggling caravan, surrounded by green eyes that made the scalp numb.

The robbers held a weapon in one hand, and stretched one hand behind them, holding a cold potion. This was a night vision potion that Jack One-eyed bought at a high price to prevent accidents.

In the face of the jackals, the reason why the robbers did not directly pour the potion was because the two sides knew each other.

Both are robbers, mix in the same area, and the two can't kill each other, then they can only make peace, reach an agreement, and make a fortune together.

One-eyed Jack jumped from the roof of the car without any muddle. He walked towards the Jackal team without fear and shouted, "Tony! Come out!"

In the darkness, an exceptionally strong jackal came out riding a wolf, a threatening low growl from the wolf's mouth, greedily staring at the human in front of him, and the saliva flowed out from the interlaced canine teeth.

One-eyed Jack ignored the wolves and loudly questioned the Jackal leader behind the wolves: "Why stop my convoy! Isn't the money for this month given to you! Don't you want to eat black?!"

On the back of the sagittarius, the strong jackal glanced at the human in front of him, and then looked at the motorcade behind the human. The carriage was covered with black cloth and could not see what was on the car.

The jackal's voice is hoarse and unique: "Your car is filled with potions from the Fusei Empire."

One-eyed Jack's face changed. He didn't understand where the Jackal got the information. He bit his neck and said: "What's hitting the car is your shit! Let your people get out of the way! After a full meal and a full meal, you still Can you tell the difference, eh?!"

The jackal leader ignored the threat from the old man, stretched out a hand, and opened his five fingers: "One news, fifty gold coins."

A suspicion flashed in the eyes of Jack One-eyed. He didn't feel the murderous aura in the jackal, and seeing the posture of the jackal did not seem to be causing trouble.

"What news! Worth fifty gold coins?!"

"Your goods, your life," the Jackal was still cold.

Fifty gold coins are quite a lot, enough to sell a house in the surrounding small towns, but compared to the tens of thousands worth of goods on the car, fifty gold coins are not worth mentioning.

Jack's tone became softer: "You tell the news first. I judge whether it is worth fifty gold coins or not according to the content of the message. At this time, you are still afraid that I will not be able to make a fool of myself!"

In the dark night, it is in its own territory again, the jackal is not afraid that humans will be able to roll up the wind and waves, and said: "At the mountain pass on the edge of the wilderness, your opponent from the mountain family is blocking you."

Jack's face changed: "What you said is true?!"

"You are questioning the smell of the Jackal!"

The Jackal leader-Tony said coolly: "The smell of the Woodson family, I can smell it ten miles away!"

"How could they know that we are shipping today?!" One-eyed Jack's eyes were dizzy.

"Traitors, you missed your feet, the news leaked, or something, but it's none of my business."

The jackal stretched out a hand and made a request: "Give it money!"

I have to admit that this news is indeed worth fifty gold coins. Jack returned and took out the money bag from the car, counted fifty gold coins, and threw the bag to the Jackal.

Catching the flying money bag, the Jackal leader weighed it and accepted it with satisfaction.

While Jack One-eyed was struggling with what to do next, the Jackal said again: "Make another deal, I can take you to avoid the enemy, it's still fifty gold coins."

Jack thought for a while and decided to trust the Jackal once.

After the previous cooperation, coupled with the current whistleblowing, the two sides have common interests and a basis for mutual trust.

While counting the gold coins, one-eyed Jack cursed: "You won! You greedy villain!"

The jackal sneered and said, "This is the first time I was called a villain by a robber."

…

Under the leadership of the Jackal, Jack One-eyed and his entourage bypassed the ambush of the Woodson family and crossed the border of the Kingdom of Gables through a secret road.

In the wilderness, UU reading www. uukanshu.com The Jackal and his party watched as the caravan's back disappeared into the vast mountains, and the wind blew the mane behind them.

The one-eyed Jack and his party were completely gone. Tony, the leader of the jackal, turned to the side, faced a seemingly ordinary jackal behind him, and said respectfully: "My Envoy, the mission is complete."

"You did very well."

The boss disguised as an ordinary jackal nodded proudly: "The empire will remember your dedication, and as long as you have the opportunity in the future, you will get what you want."

The smile on the face of the gnoll leader increased.

Joining the Fosse Empire is the dream of most monster races across the continent, and Tony is no exception.

He wanted to lead the tribe to venture beyond several kingdoms to the land of dreams in the north, but an empire envoy came to his door...

"Go! Children! Teach the Woodson family! Let them taste the power of the jackals!" The jackal leader wielded his whip and led the tribe to gallop in the dark.
