What is even more shocking is not these, but in the same year that the Red Alliance Empire was defeated in the Pacific Ocean, his neighbor Cottmes did not choose to take advantage of the situation and take the opportunity to seize the territory of the Red Alliance Empire, but worked hard to cultivate the extremely high gold vein, and accepted political talents from all walks of life, so that the national strength was steadily increased step by step. There is no shortage of generals in Cottmes, because Rothschild is the No. 1 bloody family in Middle-earth, and generations of Kot kings are world-renowned war maniacs, and that is the barbarian among the barbarians, and this is only the maternal emperor who entrenched in the ice city of Casablanca. And it is precisely because of this bloodshed and brutality that Countermis has been recognized as the largest "slave exporter" since the founding of the country, and more than half of the hot young girls in the Middle-earth slave market are Cottemes orphans, as well as girls who were forced by slave owners to sign deeds of sale. It was not until the advent of Constantine, the fifth head of the Rothschild family, that this national sin that had lasted for hundreds of years was gradually washed away. He reinstated the war-burned land, uprooted the families that had become rich from the slave trade, and expelled all the traders who dared to enter the borders of the Cotemès to buy poppies. Creation of a new system of power, a legal system, a system of aristocracy. After trying to bring in missionaries from the Holy Roman Empire to no avail, he built a central cathedral on his own, popularized Christianity and democracy, and when he insisted until he was fifty years old, the "Holy See for World Order" recognized the existence of the Diocese of Kortemes, and Korsomes also became a semi-feudal and semi-democratic free kingdom because of the elimination of the slave trade and drug trade, and the cessation of military aggression for twenty years, etc., and became a trading city second only to the seaport because of the existence of the Mogura Mountains.

What Constantine didn't expect was that the beautiful situation that he had exhausted his life's energy to turn around was reduced to an outright dark colony because of the implementation of the Roman Empire's "Third Recovery Plan". Therefore, from the moment she was born, Princess Emir lived in the happiest and most stable era in the history of the country of Kotemes, without the roar of golden iron horses and trumpets, without wolf smoke and miserable deaths, but only the selfless love of a father for his daughter, and the short, clean sky that he held up for her with his shoulders. She hadn't even witnessed the small friction with the Savage Big 6 outside the border.

"Would you like something to drink, lovely lady?" Li Hao appeared behind the little princess, holding a cup of coffee and a cup of green tea, placing them on the table in front of the emir's eyes, taking out a chair and sitting down generously, admiring the appearance of this elegant nobleman up close.

Emir blinked, reacted from his contemplation, took a sip of his coffee, and said softly: "Those old nobles have already made a mess, don't you want to explain something?" ”

Li Hao, who casually took out a book from the bookcase, said indifferently: "Dealing with flies is not my forte, does that kind of thing need to be explained, I'm not a knight, so there's no need to follow any bullshit rules." ”

Emir didn't raise his head, continued to taste his coffee, and said bitterly: "You do this to everyone? ”

Li Hao sighed, put the precious saber on the table, and said, "I just don't think it's worth it, I'm not a great thought fighter, and I don't want to be the protagonist of a hero's epitaph." ”

Emir stared at the sword, it was a birthday gift from her father when she was 17 years old, she cherished it, never used it, treasured it like an important ornament, until it was held in Li Hao's hand, it was stained with hot or dirty blood, she picked up the sword, looked at the exquisite scabbard, and asked, "Don't want it?" ”…

Li Hao scratched his head and sighed: "It's just borrowing, in the eyes of our mercenaries, no weapon is the strongest, just like in the eyes of your nobles, nothing is the most luxurious." ”

The emir pursed his lips, drank the coffee from his cup, and muttered, "And then? ”

Li Hao stood up, habitually looked out the window, and said quietly: "Then? No, I think my brother and I have done enough, and to be honest, I don't like the country, and I don't worry about its fate, and in a kind of businessman's rule, there's nothing I want. ”

Hearing Li Hao say this, a sense of crisis instantly rose in Emir's heart, she suddenly stood up, walked to the opposite side of Li Hao, looked at the young face that seemed to be smiling, and said: "Then what do you want, I can help you, Sister Simier can also help you, if you leave, what should we do, in the words of your mercenaries, aren't we partners?" Isn't it supposed to be together all the time? ”

In the face of the emir's sudden simplicity, Li Hao was a little crying and laughing, he had not been in contact with such a simple aristocrat for a long time, and he was also a princess with low emotional intelligence, he didn't want to use the rules of a mercenary to continue this conversation, so he had to tell the truth: "Lovely lady, I didn't seem to say that I was leaving, right?" ”

Emir's eyes were stunned, realizing the abruptness of his words, and his cheeks had some unnatural expressions, like a child who was ignorant of the world.

Li Hao boldly pinched her beautiful cheeks and said with a smile: "Before I get the love of your sister Simier, I will still be the very persistent Young Master Li Hao." ”

Emir smiled sweetly, she was used to Li Hao's jokes, the stories she had born in these years were more exciting than her entire girlhood, because a child living in a shell and a child wandering in the wind and rain were both darlings of the goddess of fate. She will grow up, he will grow up, chasing dreams or waiting for happiness, there is the same process of waiting.

Although Slow is a weakened country, the city wall defense system is quite in place, except for the necessary 3,000 archer platforms, movable towers to hold bed crossbows and stone throwers, three-dimensional ladder-shaped buildings with new concepts, and even two magic defense towers imported at sky-high prices, standing on both wings of the main city wall. It is said that after opening, it is equivalent to the lethality of ten great magisters, and the range is extremely wide, the biggest disadvantage is that there are too many dead ends, lack of endurance, and it is easy to break down during operation, but even so, there will still be many tyrant city-states chasing the trend every year, go to the countries with leading Western science and technology to buy them, and then put them on the city wall, and they may not be able to open it once in decades. A city-state with real capital will never make a fuss about superficial work, such as the black blood that has produced two top mercenary groups.

Li Hao stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, the windmill hills were already full of conspicuous white tents, this newly arrived expeditionary force was obviously much calmer than the Black Cross, and was not in a hurry to attack the city, and their siege machinery was not completely in place. The law enforcement knight Kukas was dressed in a sassy knight's uniform, stepping on brand new Slow military boots, and followed the butt of the regiment leader with great vigour, eager to tell everyone that he had not only killed a certain imperial relative, but had not been punished in any way, which was obviously an objective embodiment of capital.
