Chapter 431: The Dowry
With the time of the golden autumn October, the people of the Great Empire ushered in the harvest month of the 6th year of the new calendar, with the help of a good irrigation system, the autumn grain production of the Great Empire this year has fully reached the bottom line of the food demand for all aspects of the Great Empire in the next 1 year, including sales, relief, support and other projects, and after the most difficult time, it has also exceeded the bottom line of nearly 1 billion tons of grain, and this result is also standard, as long as the sun does not set on the Western Continental Army to support all the legions are simply fully restored, then the original continental coastline occupation area of the Western Continent and the subsequent absorption of the occupation will truly complete the merger with the imperial territory and become a permanent and inseparable part of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets.
Maybe it's because the golden autumn of October is the lucky year of the Great Empire, so the good things for the Great Empire that never sets in this month can be said to be continuous, after the great harvest ushered in by the Great Empire, there are also two good news coming from the New Delhi Peninsula where the Great Empire London City is located, one of which is that all the people of the Empire can know the way, that is, as the cradle of the professional soldiers of the Great Empire, Notting Khan, who is the cradle of the professional soldiers of the Great Empire, will complete the transition from a fortress-level castle to a fortress-level castle in May next year, and at that time, The Sunset Empire will recruit the Late Medieval Troops that belong to the Sunset Empire, and the Sunset Empire will also have 2 fortress-level castles.
As for the second piece of news, it was sent to Sun Lin separately by the Quartermaster Department, which was about the black powder that was jointly researched by several Sunset and Mo Forging craftsmen a few months ago, according to the master craftsmen of the Quartermaster Department, at present, the Quartermaster Department has completed the process of making all craftsmen familiar with and understand this deadly new weapon, and with the completion of the next few black powder production workshops, the Sunset Quartermaster Department will definitely have the ability to mass-produce black powder, although it is not yet possible to put this deadly new weapon on the battlefield, Because the gunpowder produced by the great empire is not very stable, it has a high explosion hazard, but there will be no problem in investing in the mining and construction industry, and the craftsmen are also like Sun Lin to guarantee that they will make the mining industry of the empire of the sun never set in the next 1 year, will begin to popularize the use of black powder, and at the same time, the earliest gunpowder weapon siege cannon about black powder, they are also confident that in the next 2 years at most, they will complete the preliminary development and production of experimental products.
While reaping these two pieces of good news from the New Delhi Peninsula, Sun Lin, who had finally had a week or two to relax and accompany his fiancée Yue'er to visit Atlantis City, and now Sun Lin, who was dealing with daily government affairs in the Atlanta Palace, was swept through his brain by an even more powerful news: "What? A huge vein of tin ore was found in a canyon 30 miles outside the Red Fortress, and this tin vein contained a huge amount of rough diamonds? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, while delivering this news here, the War Eagle brought a rough diamond in addition to the news about this matter, and asked your Majesty to take a look." The herald who came to herald the sun did not set after glancing at the princess Yue'er who was stopped by Sun Lin and originally wanted to leave on her own, but finally left Princess Yue'er, and asked a member of the royal knight guard next to him to hand Sun Lin a small animal skin bag containing rough diamonds in his hand, and then, Sun Lin saw with his own eyes the pigeon-egg-sized rough diamond that the old man who found this giant tin vein dug up during the survey, and of course some tin ore fragments.
"Your Majesty, according to the battle report transmitted by the war eagle, the diamond in front of you is not the largest diamond that has been excavated, but the first one to be discovered, and it is said that the largest diamond is twice the size of this one! Moreover, our mining experts in the second survey claimed that if this tin vein could be larger than expected, perhaps miners mining this vein in the future could find larger diamonds......... Oh yes, Your Majesty! This information on the area around the Red Fortress also contains a cursory mention that based on the terrain around the Red Fortress and the presence of this huge tin vein, there may be more veins of rare ore in the area around the Red Fortress. ”
“………… I see, in this piece of information from the Red Fortress, does it mention anything about the power around the Red Fortress? Sun Lin pondered for a while, then looked at the face of his fiancée beside him, and asked the official beside him with a somewhat gloomy face under his puzzled gaze.
"Some of them, just 2 weeks ago, 70,000 of our Imperial soldiers fought an extremely fierce offensive and defensive battle with the attacking orc forces in front of the Red Fortress, and the strength of these troops under their control can even be compared with the first-line troops of the Orc Great Empire The primitive orc tribe has dispatched more than 60,000 strong orc warriors and more than 10,000 harpy warriors, and at the same time, it has also dispatched white-headed two-legged wyvern knights and 20 mammoth beasts, and even a thousand minotaur shamans?"
"What? Minotaur shaman? Those primitive orcs actually even lined up this kind of member of the orc tribe with a very high status to go to the battlefield? So what is the end result? Hearing that the orcs dispatched a thousand minotaur shamans, Sun Lin's eyelids couldn't help but jump a few times, obviously Sun Lin was also shocked by the courage of so many elite troops to be dispatched with the other party, but he also felt a little uneasy, so Sun Lin asked immediately after interrupting the official words.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, these formidable enemies finally lost all the corpses of mammoth beasts and more than 30,000 corpses under the loss of 10,000 Imperial soldiers on our side, and nearly 10,000 strong orc prisoners of war were driven back to the depths of the Ancient Continent by us."
“……… I see, I guess Leo passed this news back with the previous news of the rough diamond, and he came to ask me for soldiers, right? You have sent me my command to mobilize the 20th Heavy Infantry Regiment of Sunset, which is currently stationed in Notting Khan, and I think that the 10,000 Swiss Guards should be able to meet his current needs, as for the rest of the reinforcements............ Tell him that I'll give him an army of mysteries. ”
"Yes! After seeing the official leave, Sun Lin once again focused his gaze on his fiancée, until Yue'er's face turned red and she was about to be seen by Sun Lin's hair, the somewhat introverted Princess of Xiqin finally couldn't help but ask Sun Lin: "Why, why do you look at me like this?" ”
"Yue'er......... I'm wondering if it's time for me to pay a formal dowry to your father, my father-in-law, after I've abducted you for so long? ”
