A negotiation unknown to outsiders put an end to the turmoil in the city of Abadan for several days.
Some timid nobles ran back to their own territories and hid as early as the day after the incident in the military camp. But most of the nobles were still hiding in their mansions, feeling uneasy. Even being in a military camp is not immune, and no one really knows where it will be safe.
Everyone couldn't sleep well, even couldn't sleep or dared to sleep. He ordered his trusted guards to form a circle around him, as if this could stop the elusive magician. Then nothing happened all night.
Some people thought that this stupid method worked; some others were stupid and impulsive, thinking that the power of the empire had finally scared away the rats hiding in the dark. But the tragic situation of the 10th Brigade of the 10th Legion the previous day finally reached the aristocratic circles from the whispers of civilians, and spread explosively.
More nobles fled back to their own territories, and those who remained in the city all hugged each other for warmth. The peaceful fourth night was like the calm before the storm to the nobles. People with high positions are more precious about their lives than barefoot civilians. No one wants to waste his life before enjoying life.
In contrast, the soldiers of the Tenth Legion were very angry and kept calling for battle. As long as he is a normal bloody man, no one can endure the slaughter of his comrades. We still don’t know who the opponent is, so we can’t start a fight; if we knew, the entire army would have already been dispatched to encircle and suppress this unknown enemy.
Javed Poole's solution is also simple, direct suppression. If you are dealing with civilians, you have to worry about whether your attitude will be too tough, and big trouble will occur; if you are dealing with the army, if you don't suppress this sign, big trouble will happen!
And the reasons are there. The captain of the 10th Battalion, Baili Niya, sent out troops without orders, resulting in the massacre of the 10th Battalion. The Tenth Legion is now in a period of self-restraint, and everyone must act with caution and wait for investigation. Leaving the barracks without orders is considered rebellion. If you kill them on the spot, you will be deprived of your reputation and the treatment that your family enjoys as military dependents.
It can be said that except for breaking legs or killing people, all the cruel tricks that can be used within the system are used. It is necessary to calm down the army in the shortest possible time.
The reason why Javid Poole put so much effort into it was of course because he had negotiated everything with the magician. Although the most ideal result was not obtained, that is, in turn absorbing the other party, making it a part of the empire, and letting the other party contribute to the empire; but in terms of the result, it is not the worst situation.
Guybrash Tripwood's condition was simply that the city of Abadan would provide him with the materials he needed and assign a cooperating workshop to produce and modify the parts of the airship Sid he needed. After providing the required supplies in the meantime, they will leave.
As the city lord who also manages the affairs of a city, Javed Poole is not someone who doesn't understand the market. The value of the magic materials and supplies someone requested was only a drop in the bucket compared to the value of the equipment of half of the 10th Brigade that he had destroyed.
For such a small amount of money, he destroyed half of the brigade, and his heart was bleeding. Not to mention that those who died were well-trained soldiers who had seen blood. Anyone who has ever led a soldier knows that veterans are priceless.
So now Javed Poole has only one idea, to send these plague gods away as soon as possible. As soon as he entered the hotel, he felt a familiar pressure of life and death. Under the introduction of the long sword, he learned that among this group of people, there was also a humanized black dragon...
Are you kidding me? Even the old black dragon is still a serious dragon clan. After a few mouthfuls of Dragon Breath, he didn't know how many more brigades he would destroy.
This is not to say that as a regular army of the Gwana Empire, they cannot deal with a mere black dragon. But when there is a black dragon, a resurrected demon king, and a magician who looks very weak, but can actually destroy half the army in an instant, it is no longer possible for a mere tenth legion to attack.
If you want to challenge them, you need to have stronger power. In the empire, only those at the top have greater power. A legion commander cannot and should not touch those. So although he was full of sorrow in his heart, he secretly happily threw this trouble to Shangfeng, because it was obviously not something he could handle.
For Lin, his vision was not high enough. He was used to being a petty person, so he thought that the request he made was already a big ask of a lion. Therefore, it was quite surprising that the actual person in charge of Abadan City, General Javid Poole, came here in person and readily agreed to his conditions.
But this once again proves that in Lost Land, instead of working hard to make money and then buy what you want, it is faster to flex your muscles and flex your fingers.
In fact, on earth, no matter whether advanced or backward countries, they all have the same appearance. It's just that before the time travel, my level was too low and I couldn't come into contact with that level of world. And after traveling to the Lost Land, these years passed in a daze. Somehow, I am qualified to see this world where money is just numbers.
No matter how strong his arms and wrists are, or how much oil and water he can squeeze out of others, someone is still used to taking only what he needs. But now, all he needs is the materials to repair the Sid.
But for how much money two gearboxes cost, the more valuable thing is the design and ideas. So someone added other things they thought of, as well as the materials originally promised to the Silver Beard Dwarves to transform the energy center of the Peace Arms, and added them to the list.
These materials are not very precious items, but it is not that easy to find them all when you are out of town and without the help of familiar people.
At this time, the lord of Abadan City jumped out to take advantage of him. How could someone not rip off someone by the way? The original plan to take a step back was to help provide some money and let the other party help find these things. But General Javed Poole patted his chest and provided all the materials. Of course, someone reluctantly accepted it.
In my initial thought, it would be fine as long as the other party no longer stops the workshop owners in the city from manufacturing and modifying some parts of the Sid for them. You can compare prices yourself, find a workshop owner whose skills you trust, and entrust him with the work.
But then I thought about it and realized that my idea didn't seem to work.
If you think about it from the perspective of those building owners, first of all, someone is the target person who has been warned not to help. Suddenly the people at the top said that the ban was lifted. Who among the people at the bottom really jumped at the money and helped the other party with things? Anyone who would do this is either stupid or short-sighted. Who knows whether those big guys will regret it later and put small shoes on those who help the target.
Rather than doing this, it would be better to directly ask General Javid Poole to assign a cooperating workshop. In this way, those cooperating workshop owners don’t have to worry about being shod with shoes afterward, because it’s all orders from above. In this way, you can reduce the trouble caused to others. Confucius once said: Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you. Why bother to embarrass the craftsmen who earn their hard-earned money.
Secondly, if the other party wants to do something, the target will be relatively obvious. Because the cooperation partner is single, as long as you spend some time keeping an eye on it, or do it yourself, someone is confident that you can avoid most of the problems.
This is better than following the original plan, subcontracting different components to different workshops, and finally integrating them yourself. If you do that, there will be too many places to monitor and they will be scattered. On the contrary, there will be more loopholes that can be exploited.
In short, both sides got what they wanted, and things were settled quickly. Moreover, both parties tacitly ignored the wiped out Viscount Nia family and the soldiers of the 10th Brigade.
General Javed Poole didn't want to pick up that scar. After revealing it, I don't have the ability to hold the other party accountable. It just adds trouble to myself, so why bother.
Lin didn't want to mention those things too much. It wasn't because he felt guilty about killing someone, but what happened after he mentioned it? Apologize? Blame? Playing on a topic? Since I can't do anything, it's not a topic suitable for casual conversation, so it's better not to talk about it.
That night, except for those who were not qualified to know what was going on here and whose status was neither high nor low, everyone had a rare and sound sleep. Although he stopped going out for the night, Lin still maintained surveillance with his arcane eyes and set some warning conditions before falling asleep peacefully.
As the saying goes, one should not be wary of others. Lin was not so naive as to unconditionally trust the words of these big shots. Doing one thing in front of others and then selling it later can be said to be the basic quality of these people.
I believe that the big shots must have nailed it one by one. They are definitely idiots. Because those who witness such people's betrayal of trust with their own eyes are either so miserable that they cannot stand up and no one believes them, or they are the kind who talk nonsense without their lives. Solving problems means the same thing to these big shots as solving the people who caused them. You have to guard against it, you have to guard against it.
It was in such a strange atmosphere that Lin and his group were safely going back and forth between the hotel and the workshop, working on the renovation of the Sid.
The nobles in Abadan City were clamoring, but everyone seemed to have forgotten to find the real murderer, even if that person was right under their noses. He didn't ask or look for it, he just cursed the 'unknown' enemy all day long. It's as if you can kill your enemy to death just by scolding him.
The soldiers of the Tenth Legion, after the first moment of indignation. After reviewing the known war cases with a calmer gaze, I discovered something. It seemed like he really couldn't win.
I don’t know where the limit of that magic is, I don’t know how wide the range is, I don’t know how many times the magician can use it, and I don’t know how long it takes to recite the spell. Under a bunch of unknown circumstances, rashly challenging the goal again will not change the outcome.
They volunteered to become members of the Tenth Legion in order to defend the empire and punish all enemies who came against it. They did not come to die in vain. It is not uncommon on the battlefield to launch a challenge when there are many enemies and the situation is unknown. But once they encounter it, if they want to win, they can only pile up human lives and bones.
At this time, we have to ask: Is it worth it?
If there is no way to retreat, not to mention the loss of lives, even if the hands and feet are broken and the person is disabled, you have to find a way to bite off a piece of the enemy's flesh with your teeth before you can be willing to die. But if it's not that dangerous situation, just for the sake of face, just to avenge your colleagues, what's the reason for wasting your life in vain?
Everyone calmed down.
