Chapter 47: Play Big
Although Shangjiang City has a very large economic and military strength, its territory is too small. The explosive development of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce easily reached a bottleneck, surrounded by barriers between city-states, and business activities had to be restricted by various taxes and checkpoints.
If it is a normal business development, although there are many restrictions from the outside world, the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce can be profitable and slowly expand as well as normal trade.
However, Da Liang was not satisfied with the speed at which the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce was restricted.
The plane war has begun to brew, and the early battle between the major forces is about to detonate a major war in the realm of death.
Both the City of Sighs and the Infernal Forge City are accumulating funds and strength for future wars.
Da Liang is also thinking about how Duoduo's reserves should deal with the big chaos in the future.
As Da Liang's loyal ally and economic pillar, Marquis Stanley and his Shuntong Chamber of Commerce are naturally as powerful as possible.
Now, if you can convince the Sorrowful Monarch to provide mercenaries for the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce can carry out a violent economic invasion.
When the army of the undead opens the way, the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce can loot at a low price to its heart's content, and then dump it everywhere, destroying the economic order of other cities and amassing its own wealth.
This cooperation is a win-win situation for both the Sorrowful Monarch and the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, the Sorrowful Monarch didn't think about the size of the first mercenary army mentioned by Da Liang, and said happily: "This kind of army can be called in place soon, 100 bone dragons, not one will be less, plus a number of ghost dragons."
In addition, I will have the Church of the Unsullied recruit Clergy and Church Knights into the mercenary army, and with the blessing of death, you will find that the army of the undead I have given you has extraordinary attack power. ”
The Sorrowful Monarch worked hard to sell his army, and as the Pope, Da Liang also knew that the Clergy and the Church Knight did have the attribute of giving additional bonuses to the combat power of the undead.
Anyway, the scale of the mercenaries in the future is far more than that, and Da Liang readily agreed to hire the Sorrowful Monarch to add this army.
So the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, which originally had a very good reputation, went from this moment to a notorious road, and went further and further.
The mercenary of the first army is considered to be negotiated, and the size and type of the mercenary army in the future need to be calculated by the people of Shangjiang City who set up a special department.
In addition, for the command of this mercenary army, Da Liang also intends to delegate it to the War Department in Shangjiang City.
Although Shangjiang City is now at a low point due to power disputes, the old team that made a name for itself with the old East Sea King was built here. Now the interior of Shangjiang City has stabilized under the rotation of Daliang, and all departments are operating normally.
One of the people who runs the army is Archangel Bartlet.
As Howard's right-hand man, Archangel Bartlett is an excellent commander with a very strong character, and it is far more reassuring to have him in command of this undead mercenary army than Marquis Stanley.
If Marquis Stanley was to be in command of an army, his first consideration was how much it would cost to kill a skeleton soldier......
In short, the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce has 10% of the shares of the Pudong Fleet, the Shangjiang royal family has 10% of the shares, and the Shangjiang Finance has 10% of the shares.
With so much money, Shangjiang City will definitely vigorously support the comprehensive expansion of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce.
A pleasant business negotiation ended in a happy atmosphere.
After the ceremony of the church in the Misty Zone, Marquis Stanley returned to Shangjiang with the cooperation agreement between the City of Sighs and the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce to send mercenaries, preparing for the arrival of the undead mercenaries and formulating a business expansion plan.
Marquis Stanley leaves.
All that was left in the room was the Sorrowful Monarch and the Great Bright.
Seeing the Sorrowful Monarch sitting there with a steady appearance, Da Liang knew that he was going to have a showdown with himself.
"Boneless Pope, I can see that Marquis Stanley trusts you, and I'm glad I have someone as talented as you. You've changed not only the Mist, but also the City of Sighs, and I'm sure you have the potential to change the entire realm of death in the future. ”
Da Liang said humbly: "Sovereign, I just do what the Pope of the Misty Region should do, it is my obligation to make the Misty Region prosperous, and it is my duty to share the worries of the monarch." To say that I can change the entire kingdom of the dead is a fallacy. ”
The Sorrowful Monarch laughed and said, "No, it seems to me that you do have the power to change the realm of the dead.
The ultimate faith you hold on to will bring about earth-shaking change in the realm of the dead. ”
Ultimate Faith!
Da Liang immediately pretended to be surprised: "You! You...... How will you know the ultimate faith! I've never said that to anyone else...... No, I said that to that powerful skeleton mage the other day. Could it be that the skeleton mage is a subordinate of the Sovereign?
I beg the monarch to forgive me for my mistakes, I have just begun to study the doctrine of the Immaculate, and it is inevitable that some other ideas will arise.
But I didn't have any desire to blaspheme the Grim Reaper, I just had a strong desire to see it with my own eyes......
If there are thoughts in it that go against the doctrine of the Immaculate, please don't blame the monarch, and I will definitely remove those dangerous mental obstacles in my heart.
Be a devout believer in death. ”
The Sorrowful Monarch was very satisfied with Da Liang's performance, and he nodded and said, "Who is that skeleton mage?" You'll definitely know later.
But I'm very interested in what you're talking about the ultimate faith.
The undead are too fond of conformism, and the doctrine of the Unsullied has been around since the undead appeared on this plane. However, in these countless years, groups of undead have considered themselves the most devout believers in the Grim Reaper, but their faith has remained on the most superficial surface.
There is not a single undead spirit who wants to truly stand by the side of the god of death to serve him and believe in him. The most ridiculous thing is that it is not a human race who has studied the doctrine of the Unsullied for countless years, and who has only lived for a few decades, who has elevated this belief to a whole new level.
When I heard about the Ultimate Faith, I felt that I had been a false believer in the Grim Reaper, and I was glad that I was the first undead to accept the Ultimate Faith. That mood is more joyful than earning tens of millions of gold coins a week. ”
Da Liang said excitedly at this moment: "When I came up with this idea, I thought that I had become a Vault Dweller abandoned by the Grim Reaper, and I never dared to say it to anyone. If he hadn't thought he was going to die, he wouldn't have said this to the skeleton mage.
I didn't expect the monarch to approve of my ultimate faith! It was simply the most exciting moment of my life.
It's just that the ultimate faith that I have born is still very weak, but I believe that it will surely flourish in the hands of the monarch. ”
The Sorrowful Monarch stood up, and then walked in front of Da Liang, the condensed soul fire in his eyes actually trembled: "Yes, the ultimate faith is the true belief in death. As a monarch of the Unsullied Holy See, I have an obligation to spread this faith throughout the Realm of the Dead.
However, the ultimate faith will inevitably be rejected by the old-fashioned spirits, and its propagation will inevitably attract all kinds of slander and attacks.
But my heart does not change......
You...... Would you like to help me?
Rewrite the doctrine of immaculate and establish the Holy See for the ultimate faith. ”
Damn...... It's really big this time!
