The largest trade and cooperation agreement in the history of the mainland between the Blackstone Ring merchants and the Kalsemmen Empire was secretly signed. However, for the sake of confidentiality, what was disclosed to the outside world was just a very ordinary reciprocal trade agreement. After the agreement was signed, the Kalsemmen The empire also conducted a strict political review of all negotiators, and the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce Closide did not take it lightly but used its own unique means to conduct a review of all participants to ensure that this trade No third party will know the truth before it is completed.
On the way back, the staff of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce did not have to use the teleportation circle in a hurry as mentioned above. Instead, they boarded a chartered luxury airship and returned to the Free City leisurely. During the four-day journey, everyone also held a small celebration banquet on the airship. An agreement worth 70 billion lien has been successfully signed. Although it cannot be announced to the public now for the sake of confidentiality, in any case, he has become a person worthy of making history. Named person.
Everyone had a great time, but for fear of telling the truth after drinking, everyone tried their best to restrain themselves in the Kalsemmen Empire. However, in a private room not far from the celebration venue, the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, Closed But like an alien who is incompatible with the lively atmosphere, he watched the message Aisha left for her sister alone.
After listening to the more than ten minutes of video recording, Closide turned off the magic device. It only recorded some girls' longing for their elder sisters, without any valuable information.
I hope that this little thing can allow His Majesty the White Dragon King to give himself some time for the time being, or provide some evidence that Elsa is willing to leave with her, such as her My sister who has been hidden, if there is a handwritten letter from her this time, maybe I won¡¯t be the loser in the gambling game.
"Well, it seems like a visitor is coming."
Suddenly, Closide was keenly aware of something. There seemed to be some unfamiliar aura in the distance in the sky, hiding his own detour and quickly approaching the airship. There were probably hundreds of them, and there were probably two pairs of them. Wyverns, griffins, hunting eagles, humans, drow and a small number of orcs!
Attack?
Closide stood up with a little more energy. After projecting his mental power, he could accurately distinguish the number and approximate professional composition of the attackers. There were five mages. Although their magic level was not very high, several of them The aura of the drow assassins showed that they were obviously very skilled, but they were caught because they were unable to hide their aura because they were riding on flying monsters.
I have to say that this is really a waste of money!
Crossed narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly analyzed. It was most likely that the other two of the three giants in the free city arranged this attack. In the free city, it was not convenient for them to attack him so blatantly, and If you are outside, there are no restrictions. But this time Lawrence and Philibos really spent a lot of money. You must know that airships are one of the most important means of transportation on the mainland and their safety is obvious to all. Usually, those bandits and gangsters who spread in remote mountains and remote areas are very safe. No matter how ferocious the robbers are, they can't fly into the air to rob the airship. If they take off in flying monsters, and the number is too small, they will probably fail to rob them, and they will be killed by the guards stationed on the airship.
As for the air pirate groups that also drive airships described in some popular stories on the mainland, it is even more nonsense. Airships, such sophisticated large magic machines, are not only used by small countries, let alone bandit groups. If it doesn't change, just the financial cost of daily maintenance and the large number of professional ground crews required can make any bandit group dazzle, and once the ground crews have the skills to repair airships, they can go to the airship station in any country on the mainland. You can find a good job with a good salary. Who would go hang out with a group of bandits when they are full and have nothing to do?
Even if the maintenance problem can be solved, the reason why the bandit group can run amok is to use concealment and rapid action to evacuate immediately after the robbery is successful. However, the airship obviously cannot do this, let alone if a bandit group actually appears. In the event of robbery using an airship, the countries in the relevant region will probably arrest all these bold bandits and hang them on the gallows at the cost of turning over the mountains in the area where the incident occurred.
After all, a threatened airship route is equivalent to cutting off a golden trade route. No matter it is a country or the merchants walking on this trade route, they will not let this happen. Cutting off people and making money is like killing their parents. The words are not just for fun! At least until now, the airships in the east and west of the mainland have never been robbed except for crashes and forced landings due to technical failures, control errors, weather and other reasons. Even some bandits have sneaked in in advance through internal and external cooperation. flyCaused inside the boat.
And this time, so many people gathered at once, and so many flying monsters were collected to attack them at almost any cost. It seems that Lawrence and Felibos have indeed spent a lot of money.
Closide closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then stood up and walked out of the room to avoid the people around him and came to the airship deck.
This airship is a small airship, mainly rented out for travel services. It is luxuriously decorated and fast, but also because of its size, including the necessary crew and attendants, there are not many external guards. Against an attacking team of nearly a hundred people and various flying monsters riding on them, they probably wouldn't be able to resist for even ten minutes.
????????????????? There should be spies stationed by Lawrence and others standing on the airship of the Kalsemmen Empire, who fully explained the time and route of their group¡¯s departure. If you choose to attack yourself at this time, you can also destroy the airship and make it look like an accident causing the airship to crash to cover it up. Even if a thoughtful person notices something unusual, but by the time the vice president of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce After turning into a corpse, I believe no one would offend the Big Three for a dead corpse.
Of course, doing so is not without cost. The Free City's status as a commercial hub in the eastern part of the mainland will be seriously shaken, and the prestige of the three giants will be greatly weakened. After all, the current situation will no matter how you cover up your own death. People will be suspicious of the Big Three, and the election of the Chamber of Commerce Chairman will completely turn into a formalistic face-saving project. Everyone will know that the Big Three in the free city will not hesitate to murder those who threaten themselves in order to maintain their power. businessmen, then next time when they become stronger, will it be their turn to point the knife at them?
It is inevitable that the extraordinary business status of the Free City will be affected. Even the election of the Chamber of Commerce Chairman and upper-level meetings will be completely reduced to an empty shell. No one will obey an organization that is ready to remove any dissidents who threaten them at any time, but even if Even so, Felibos and Lawrence still did it. Obviously, they had indeed posed a serious threat to them.
Closide chuckled. Regardless of whether this attack was planned by Lawrence or Philibes, although the time and location were chosen correctly, the only aspect of the attack was not chosen well.
For ordinary people, this attack is already fatal and inevitable, but for me as the 'Black Dragon Prince', no extraordinary person in the attack team can crush me with my fingers. Dead ants are really not much different.
When there was no one around, Closide jumped over the guardrail on the deck and fell into the dark sky below. Under the cover of darkness, the crew on the airship used searchlights to inspect the surrounding flying environment and found nothing unusual at all. .
The airship was the only source of light immediately, and the surrounding area was as if it had fallen into an abyss of darkness. However, it had no impact at all on Croside, even without the dragon's extremely strong night vision ability and its height. Mental perception is more efficient in detecting changes in the surroundings than visual observation alone.
The momentum in the Free City has been accumulated enough, and there is no need to weaken the reputation of Lawrence and Philibes, let alone the fact that what happened tonight will cause a blow to the entire Free City.
So just deal with it secretly!
Closide sneered and quickly flew high into the sky to approach the attacker who was riding a Warcraft approaching the airship. The team of hundreds of people was not a small number plus the Warcraft under his crotch. Looking at it, it looked like a group of Like greedy vultures, secular kingdoms also quickly realized the importance of air power after the birth of airships. Occupying the enemy's sky is equivalent to holding the initiative in their own hands. Whether it is intelligence detection or raids, they can benefit their own side. Bringing a decisive advantage, even at the beginning some people shouted that the era of ground troops was coming to an end, and those who dominate the sky in the future will dominate the world!
Because of this reason, powerful countries on the mainland are building their own air forces one after another, and various flying monsters on the mainland that can carry people have suddenly become hot commodities. In fact, even if these attackers are placed at Kalsemmen The empire can be established as a small air force squadron. The elites of the air force are definitely better treated than they are as mercenaries. Since they still dare to come, it only means that they were either trained by Lawrence and Philibos themselves. The dead man, or the two of them, paid an astronomical sum of money.
But it doesn¡¯t matter, everyone here will be dead soon.
The position of the airship can still be tracked in a dark environment. It is obvious that each of the attackers has been blessed with night vision.
Seeing this, Closide made a slight circle and flew directly above them. Although he was blessed with night vision, the attacker probablyHe would not have expected that there would be an enemy right above him at this time. Not one of the nearly 100 people even raised his head to pay attention to the top of his head.
Closide stared coldly at these poor people who were in danger. Five light spots that were even darker than the night condensed on his fingertips. In an instant, five black streams of light shot straight down, each one aimed at one of the attackers. mage.
