Please Sink In Happiness

"I am the devout messenger of Baron Cain, and wherever I go is love and peace."

said the pompous businessman.

"Are you really a rifled gun?"

The businessman handed the gun to Prince Sinan.

There is no doubt that it is indeed a rifled gun. The barrel is densely covered with spiral rifling. Once the bullet is fired, its accuracy, power and range have been greatly improved.

"How many rifled guns do you have?"

The businessman smiled faintly:

"Anyway, it's enough to equip half of your army, and you can completely win this war, and it's not even a matter of capturing Grucci."

"You know we're going to launch an operation against Grouchy?"

"Baron Cain is God! Everything you do is performed under the watchful eye of God."

"How much do you want?"

The businessman gently gestured a number. Although it was a very fair price compared to the Dongzhou Empire, which had astronomical figures in the past, the price still made Prince Sinan take a deep breath.

Just imagine, if you want to squander more than half of the national treasury at once, even if you win this war, it will definitely hurt your bones.

"I can't get the money."

"It doesn't matter, we are a well-trained chamber of commerce, whether your national debt or the trade route with the East obtained after the victory can be exchanged for money? Maybe today you are poor, but in the future you will definitely I have a lot of money. However, if you want to obtain future wealth, you cannot do without high-quality weapons. Your Royal Highness Prince Sinan. To tell you the truth, our great Baron Cain really hopes that this war will be your Fars Federation. When the country wins, he is extremely disgusted by the aggression of the Shengluer Kingdom, these shameless dogs, they even slaughter the unarmed people of your country, after hearing this, Baron Cain was furious, so he planned to sell it for a friend price." A fox-like cunning flickered in the warm smile.

However, Prince Sinan knew that Baron Cain would never be able to sympathize with a country. The most mysterious businessman on the Western Continent Road was always trying to make money. He could even bring down a small country in an instant by manipulating the exchange rate. A war is nothing but an opportunity to make money.

"To make a deal with Baron Cain is almost to make a deal with the devil. Once I nod in agreement, it means that I have sold the future of my country."

"But you have to know that if you don't buy our rifled guns now, your country will have no future. To be honest, Grouchy's main army is not something you can compete with. Grouchy is known as a conservative general, and he is on the battlefield. The ability to adapt to the situation on the spot is weaker than that of De Gaulle, but if you want to fight steadily and steadily, Grushi is the top general in the entire Western Continent, and the magicians and knights under his command are also battle-hardened. Why? Like? Are you really going to let the sinner go? Let him continue to ravage your land?"

"Isn't Baron Cain afraid that we will default on our debts? For example, if we can't win this war, we have no money to pay, and now, we have no money at all..."

"No money at all? Don't say that, Prince Sinan. Not long ago, in order to support your Great Patriotic War and also to curb the rise of the Shengluer Kingdom, both the Beihai Parliamentary State and the Azure Empire lent you a large sum of money. , can you say that you have no money at all? Well, the money that the country supports for you is the first amount of the rifled gun, and the remaining money can be installed in installments, and the interest will also be given to you as a friend. Baron Cain was born the most favorite. Made friends."

"Wait a second, I can't handle such an important matter alone."

Afterwards, Prince Sinan immediately held an emergency meeting. Under the coordination of the marshal, the generals, and representatives of the Magician Guild, he finally passed the proposal to Cain with 583 votes in favor and 120 votes against. The Baron's motion to buy a rifled gun.

…

…

On the Eastern Front, when the army of Grouchy was defeated by the enemy, Prince Louis of Fenglu, the capital of the capital, had his legs crossed and nibbled melon seeds.

"Although the old thing Grushi died, it is very likely to break the ecological balance of the current political situation in Shengluer Kingdom, but money is really fragrant. Should you consider making money for the arms business in the future?"

- You really can betray the country for money.

If Marshal Lian Qing was there, he would probably say so.

But unfortunately, he had already left Fenglu, the capital, and was on his way to the Eastern Front battlefield.

"Lord Cain, in this way, the Fars Federal Congress will not become our confidant?"

An important subordinate who returned from the North Sea Council, the girl named Shady asked softly.

Not long ago, she informed Prince Louis' staunch ally that Childe, a banker from the North Sea Parliamentary State, used a series of means to sell the national debt at a high price when the Shengluer Kingdom gained an advantage, and then bought it into the Fars Federation at a very low price. country's national debt.

Thinking that he will receive an astronomical income soon, Prince Louis stroked Shady's hair gently:

"My dear Shady, the Fars Federation can't be our confidant. As long as our technology level is always higher than the enemy, the enemy has nothing to fear. Moreover, after this war is over, the Fars Federation may be We will be asked to transfer our influence in trade with the East, and I have vaguely seen the tragic end of the Fars Federation."

"Why did they have a tragic ending when they won?" The girl named Shady looked puzzled.

Prince Louis took out a tulip from his cuff as if by magic:

"is it beautiful?"

Shady nodded, in front of her beloved, she was as obedient as a docile puppy.

"This is a flower from the East. This kind of flower has no practical value. Just because the nobles like it, the price will go up. Everyone is buying tulip seeds. Tulips seem to bring a lot of wealth to our country, but always One day, when the tulip reaches a certain price, no one will buy it anymore. Now everyone is just more stupid than anyone else, because the tulip is really just a useless flower, and the price will continue to rise. By then the economy will explode like a bubble, so I will use this war to pass the hot potato to the Fars Federal State market before then. Rest assured, we lost the war, but we won everything.”

Chapter 204 Going out again

On the Eastern Front battlefield, the fact that the Grouchy army was attacked by the Fars Federal State army immediately spread throughout the entire battlefield, and even Leclerc, who was replenishing rations in Liege at the moment, naturally heard the news.

According to the current information, Grouchy's headquarters army has been completely swept away by the enemy army, and the battlefield has turned into hell. , some soldiers have only pink bones left, and some soldiers have no body left, and the minced meat and bones are chaotically mixed into an indescribable paste, exuding an extreme stench, cold weapons and heat. Weapons were left on the battlefield, and almost no one cared about the battlefield. Only occasionally the crows would run over and fly away with a few pieces of meat.

In the real battlefield, dying with dignity is an extremely luxurious thing. It is said that when a knife is used to chop a person, as long as the blade is sharp enough, the human body is no different from soft dough.

Major General Leclerc clutched the latest information from the front line. The paper was a little distorted in his hands. He sighed in surprise:

"Many of those lads never even kissed a woman in their entire lives. They were killed like this, and many of their bodies were incomplete..."

It can be seen from the existing information that this time, the army of the Fars Federation State is not only equipped with advanced weapons far surpassing those of the countries in the Western Continent at the same time, but behind them, I heard that there are also soldiers from the North Sea Parliamentary State and the Azure Empire Volunteer Army. Shadow, it's just that those volunteers are very cunning. They wear the clothes of ordinary soldiers of the Fars Federation. They suddenly launched an amazing magic on the battlefield that can change the situation of the battle. .

"Why did Grouchy lose so badly? Isn't he known as a conservative general? And there are trenches dug already in his base camp..." Ivy couldn't believe the information.

"Ivy, in the face of absolute power, trenches, magic, the charge of knights, and high morale are useless. Instead of increasing resistance, it is better to retreat early is the truth. The enemy is really cunning. The strength of Lu Xi's headquarters, but they show their enemy's weakness, let Gro Xi's army attack first, and then suddenly show their minions, such an enemy is simply terrifying and terrifying."

Taking a deep breath, Major General Leclerc said quietly:

"I should have expected such an ending, Grouchy...Why didn't you follow my advice and leave the battlefield? Is it so important to be a marshal? You can give up your life for your ambition, but the boys who follow you are not It's innocent..."

The eyes of the young man in the tuxedo standing beside Ivy suddenly flickered, as if sneering at the term "innocent".

Sensing the youth's expression, Leclerc couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Yes, those soldiers didn't seem to resist too much when they executed Grouchy's "Fortified Walls and Clear Fields".

At first, because of their conscience, they resisted a little, but gradually, the unfortunate screams made the soldiers more and more excited. The enemy's territory is a dream kingdom without laws.

They looted the wealth of the commoners, possessed beautiful women, and destroyed everything they could not take away.

Suddenly, Leclerc remembered something Grouchy said.

"Civilians are kind because they don't have enough power to be brutal."

Looking at the soldier who delivered the information on the front line, Major General Leclerc asked again:

"What about Grouchy himself? Is there any news about him?"

"Report to Major General Leclerc, there is no news from Grouchy, the large force has been completely dispersed by the enemy, many troops have lost contact, and several troops were beaten in this battle, and only the number is left. Now, they didn't retreat until the end, and under the death order of Grouchy, they could only continue to advance against the enemy's bullets..."

The soldiers were a little choked up, and then the soldiers reported the numbers of the missing troops to Major General Leclerc one by one. After hearing the names of those numbers, Major General Leclerc's expression was very pale. When he heard the names of some officers who died, Ivy also tightened his grip. Clenched hands.

Li Ergou, who was standing aside, remembered that many of those names had said goodbye to Miss Ivy before leaving.

But now, they remain on the battlefield forever, never to return.

After all, this is reality, not a wonderful fairy tale. It is normal for someone you know on the battlefield to die.

"Ivy, we must go out of the city as soon as possible to cover our army's withdrawal from the battlefield. Our commander-in-chief is silent now, and we must shoulder this responsibility at this time."

Ivy nodded, and then immediately ordered Li Ergou and the coachman Luen to return to the officers' quarters, and quickly packed up and prepared to set foot on the battlefield again.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and Leclerc ordered that the garrison of Liege must gather at the gate of the city before six o'clock.

Back in the officers' dormitory, Xia Lena was swinging her sword, she had fully recovered, and Demi was lying on the bench lazily as usual.

"Where's Aishwana?"

"I'm here, Ergou!"

Aishwana suddenly approached Li Ergou quietly from behind, and hugged Li Ergou's waist from behind. The girl's deep and beautiful facial features showed a temperament between coquettish and cute, and the cat's ears stared blankly. The ground swayed, as if hoping that Li Ergou would spoil her well.

Now this child has not picked up the dagger for a long time. This makes Li Ergou feel relieved, but he is also a little surprised by Aishwana's state of mind. I don't know what she has gone through to become like this. Cheerful, this cheerfulness has even reached the point of unrestrainedness.

"Aishwana, we're going to set foot on the battlefield again, I know it might be scary, but there's nothing we can do about it."

Hearing that she was going to set foot on the battlefield again, Aishwana not only did not show a panicked expression, but narrowed her long and narrow eyes slightly, and her butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered, as if she was smiling.

Li Ergou could see that Aishwana was not afraid of the battlefield, let alone blood.

However, she kept rubbing against her body like a kitten:

"The battlefield is terrible, Ergou..."

Although he knew that she was acting, Li Ergou patted her brown hair very cooperatively:

"Don't worry, you are my girl, it is impossible for me to hurt you in the slightest."

Li Ergou looked at Xia Leina and Demi again, Demi jumped off the bench and ran to Li Ergou's side, looking very excited.

She should have nothing to worry about.

And then there's Charlene.

"Charena, your injury doesn't matter, right? I think it's better not to be too reluctant, or you should stay in Liege."

"Hey, stop talking, are you looking down on me?"

Although the injury has not yet fully recovered, Shalena can now fight normally.

Recalling that sitting in the carriage and looking at Miss Ivy and Ergou during this period of time, she felt extremely depressed, and she was extremely eager to stand with them and serve them devoutly as a maid.

Only this happiness, she does not want to be taken away by anyone.

Chapter 205 Conditions for the trial of Grushi

"Grushi, look, time has finally proved you wrong..."

Standing on the city wall, Major General Leclerc muttered to himself, looking at the desolate forest and hills in the north of the city. Every hour where he could not see, compatriots would die tragically on the battlefield. Will.

Today, most of the troops of Admiral Grouchy have been scattered by the enemy forces of the Fars Federation, and there is no rule to follow. Even Grouchy himself has lost contact. Dying without dignity, the Fars Federation has shown terrible minions with the support of other countries, a local hegemony is quietly rising, and the great King Louis XIII of the Shenglu Kingdom has just died, and the successor crown prince is The **** Prince Louis, I am afraid that the kingdom has reached the most critical moment.

However, compared to those complicated matters, Major General Leclerc has only one most simple idea, which is to save the soldiers who are trapped in the quagmire of war. Behind those soldiers are countless broken families. The so-called country is not precisely because of Made up of countless families?

Clenching his fists, his nails sank into the flesh, and the night wind blowing on the city wall was mixed with the smell of blood.

"Report to Major General Leclerc, the 2nd Cuirassier Division has assembled, please instruct!"

At six o'clock in the evening, the garrisoned troops in Liege finally came to the city gate one after another, looking down at the army. The officers and soldiers of the Kingdom of Shengluer stood upright, and the iris flag fluttered in the wind.

Not long ago, due to lack of rations, this unit was almost in a dilemma, either starved to death or killed by the enemy. It was Leclerc who saved their lives, not only fighting for the country, but also for repayment.

"Everyone, the war is tight right now, and I won't say too much nonsense." The major general cleared his throat, "Our friendly troops were defeated by the enemy not long ago. Lu Dajun lost their unified command system and fell into complete chaos. Our army is being counterattacked by the enemy at the moment. They are gradually eroding the living strength of our army and taking the positions occupied by our army. Now I have only one instruction. It is to rendezvous with friendly troops as much as possible to ensure that our compatriots come back alive, that's all. Okay, I have finished speaking, what objections can you raise?"

"No!"

The officers and soldiers answered together.

Even though it may be a hellish battlefield ahead, they are not afraid.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's go to the expedition!"

One second early departure can save one more soldier's life.

With this thought in mind, the army began to march in the most chaotic direction of the war.

On the march, the messenger brought good news.

"Major General Leclerc, Marshal Lian Qing is rushing to the east."

Hearing that the long-lost Marshal was rushing to the Eastern Front, Leclerc's somewhat repressed heart suddenly eased a lot.

"Ivy, as long as your father comes to the east, everything will be fine. Before that, we have to fulfill the responsibility of being a member of the Shengluer Kingdom,"

Ivy nodded lightly, staring silently all the way in front of her. She was not happy because her father was about to arrive on the Eastern Front, because even if her father came, those who died would not come back.

The girl who was addicted to power felt a little sad for some reason.

To gain power one day, you must prevent wars as much as possible.

Unless the situation has reached the point where a war is necessary.

…

…

The battle that attacked the headquarters of Grouchy ended with the complete victory of the Fars Federation. Looking at the corpses on the ground, Prince Sinan wanted to raise his fists to celebrate loudly, but he found that he was really unhappy.

Although it was a great victory, there were sacrifices in the end.

There are also those enemies, and there are many young people who seem to be just ignorant. Many of them should be under the age of 20, but they just died.

He feels that he is not the kindness of women, and he will not be merciful to the enemy, but the enemy is also a human being, and the tragic death of human beings cannot make people of normal mind feel happy.

"All of this is the fault of the authorities of the Kingdom of Shengluer, and the devil named Grushi is also to blame. They murdered this group of innocent people. One day, I will judge their sins."
