Chapter 591: 589: Sharing the Feast (Subscribe)

When Loy stepped out of the portal, old Hoover was already waiting there quietly.

Without any nonsense, Roy directly gave an order to summon all officials and nobles in Brussels to a meeting in the conference room.

The walkie-talkie rang repeatedly, and the voices became louder and louder.

Even though it was late at night and most people were asleep, everyone who was qualified was called up.

In the city of Brussels, on the deserted streets, one magic car after another started moving, carrying officials who were still in a daze, rushing to the Lion Manor.

The large conference room of the Lion Manor was gradually filled with people. They were whispering to each other and trying to find out information, making the noise even louder.

Today's Flower Territory is no longer the makeshift team it used to be. Although it does not have as many officials as the empire, its governing system is still relatively complete.

Each has its own responsibilities, and their powers overlap, as well as their relative supervisory responsibilities.

In fact, Loy offered them very high salaries and benefits, and even gave them equity incentives and dividends.

In the years of rapid development of Xianhualing, their income has definitely been rising steadily.

But in addition to this, Loyi also severely punished behaviors such as abusing power for personal gain and being lazy and negligent in government affairs.

Even if one has made outstanding contributions, as long as he breaks a taboo, he will be fined and his property and dividends will be confiscated at the very least, and dismissed from his position and imprisoned at the worst.

This 'high salary to maintain integrity' policy is to let everyone know that they can take what they should take, but they should not take what they should not take.

Otherwise, no matter whether it is the internal regulatory system or the semi-public black swordsman, they are not vegetarians.

An hour later, Luo Yi stepped into the conference room, which was already full of people.

At a glance, there are familiar faces such as Maruna, Mila Greenman, Lord Sike Cruz, Julius Martin, Sike Francis, Hector Hunter...

There are also representatives from the military, such as Grand Knight Alfonso Zek, the female Tyrannosaurus Tanya Anderson, Cody Isaac, and Jarl Turner...

There are also powerful fourth-level natural disasters, such as Iron Knight Phil, Flame Sword Saint Otto, Ms. Palacios, Half-Giant Bane, Faceless Killer Ulysses, and Great Alchemist Benito Floyd...

As for Oliveira, whom Roy trusts the most, he has become the guardian of his son Klein and is always by Klein's side.

There are fifth-level legends sitting on the side, such as the King of Fury Silas, the legendary wizard Venus Carter, and the Underworld Sword Saint Albus Rivers.

They were all seriously injured in the Abyss War. While Flowers were taking care of the wounded, they were also guarding Luoyi's rear.

There were also a group of later comers, such as Marius Gray, Kenan Albert, Dame Bridget Lehmann, and Orpheum Benitez.

In addition, there are many magic mirrors standing on all four sides of the conference hall. When they light up, the figures of many legends appear.

For example, the legendary lich His Majesty Cicero Griffith, the Ghost Rider His Majesty Jonathan Blaze, and the legendary wizard Venus Carter, etc.

They were either stationed in the Abyss Fortress or held important positions and could not come, so they could only attend the meeting in the form of an 'online' meeting.

It can be said that, unknowingly, Flower Territory has grown to an unimaginable size, and all kinds of talents and strong people have found their place here.

Of course, there were many faces whose names even Luo Yi couldn't remember, and Shenlan had to cooperate to retrieve the information and confirm their identities.

Walking to the front of the conference room, Lilia was already holding Klein's hand, waiting for him.

Luo Yi led the two of them to the throne. He picked up the little guy and pressed Lilia to the seat next to him before he climbed onto his throne.

Looking around, the conference room was completely silent. Luo Yi waved his hand and said, "Ange, tell everyone about the current situation of the empire."

Ange took a step forward and appeared under the light of the magic crystal lamp. He spoke loudly: "Everyone should know that the Empire has fully accepted the armistice agreement of the coalition forces. The specific content is as many as 35 points, covering all aspects.

Most importantly, the imperial army was to withdraw from all occupied territories within 15 days, including the southwestern part of the Bonaparte Empire and the entire Carolingian Kingdom, surrender heavy weapons, and disarm.

The Kiel River was open to the outside world, allowing ships from all countries to enter and exit, which was equivalent to opening the door to the empire."

"In short, the Empire has essentially acknowledged its defeat in this war and is paying war reparations."

"The exact figure has not yet been determined, but according to the information we received from the coalition, they believe that 1.3 billion gold tyres would be a reasonable number."

As soon as these words were spoken, even though Luo Yi was there, the whole place was in an uproar and there was a lot of noise.

There's no way, this number is really too exaggerated!

Even for Flower Collar, whose earnings hit a new high last year, it was only over 80 million gold Tiles.

In horizontal comparison, this income is no worse than that of the Kingdom of Sardinia. It is definitely considerable. Otherwise, he could not afford to support so many troops and strong men, let alone dare to go to war with the abyss.

But even so, it would take a full fifteen years to pay the compensation.

To be honest, when Luo Yi first heard this number, he also felt that the coalition's actions were too outrageous.

This is not about wanting to negotiate, but about completely draining the Habsburg Empire!

But on second thought, he understood that the coalition forces were prepared to squeeze the empire dry and had no intention of giving them a chance to turn things around.

When the noise died down a bit, Ange continued, "Of course, the Empire definitely doesn't have that many Jintir.

Therefore, the coalition forces don't mind them paying with resources, minerals, and magical technology."

"Inside the empire, uprisings broke out everywhere, with wave after wave of resistance demanding the removal of the Hohenzollern family from the throne and the formation of a new regime.

The prestige of the empire has fallen to its lowest point.

Furthermore, the Sardinian navy has not yet unsealed its ports, making the transportation of supplies difficult. Prices within the empire have skyrocketed, and the currency has depreciated severely."

"Therefore, we have reason to believe that the empire will face an unprecedented crisis."

Having said this, Ange closed the documents in his hand, took another step back, and disappeared into the shadows of the conference room.

In any case, his upbringing and the intelligence agencies he managed have made him dislike appearing in the public eye too often.

Even in this huge conference room, he is used to hiding in the shadows.

Luo Yi did not rush to speak, but let everyone think for a moment, and then pointed at the armrest with his hand.

Amidst the beeping sounds, ripples of air seemed to spread outward.

After everyone's gaze converged, he finally spoke: "You may still be wondering why I'm holding this meeting with such fanfare?"

"There's a saying among the sea people: When a whale dies, all things come to life!"

"The behemoth Empire is about to fall. For us, this is the best opportunity to grow stronger."

"Today, here, I announce that the focus of our work for a period of time will shift from internal to external, from the Flower Territory to the Habsburg Empire."

"For a long time, the empire will inevitably fall into chaos, with social unrest, material shortages, panic among the people, and a sharp drop in income.

What we need to do is to seize the opportunity to maximize our benefits.”

"I don't care about Jinteel, and the Raymond family is not short of money, but I want all the talents, magic technology, and various rare resources of the empire."

"From the empire's most advanced scientific research projects, to various manufacturing industries, to the most skilled workers in the factories, we welcome everyone who comes."

“Before, Flower Territory invited many people from the Empire. Some came, while some were unwilling, but the channel is still there.

This time, continue to contact them, and the scope can be expanded, expanded, and expanded again.

You can tell them clearly that Xianhualing not only has sufficient financial resources and projects, but more importantly, it is safe!

No matter who they are, no matter what they have done, as long as they are useful to the Flower Nation, I will protect their safety and ignore anyone who comes."

“Furthermore, there are many trade agreements between the Empire and us, and they probably still owe me a lot of gold.

The debts that should be collected should be collected, and the debts that should be collected should be collected, but this is not the purpose. The empire is definitely out of money now, so it is better to use materials to offset the debts.

Mage towers, magic pools, precious books, secret materials, magical knowledge, cultivation methods, and flowers are all wanted."

"By the way, have the Lion Fleet ready to go to the Empire to pick up people and supplies at any time. They can also bring some food with them, half selling and half giving it away, to establish a good image for the Flower Territory."

"What? What if someone tries to stop us?"

"Where are the ironclad ships and magical warships of the Flower Territory? And where are the third-generation fighters and powerful natural disasters?

Arrange escort directly!

If there are really people who are blind, just send a signal and let the legend take action!

If the legend can't solve it, then tell me, the Abyss battlefield is very tricky, but I can still spare the time to solve some minor troubles.

At worst, I can just talk to the emperors of the three empires and see who dares to say no to me in person!"

"Remember, when you are out there, you are not representing yourselves, but the Flower Collar, the Raymond Family, and me, the Holy Dragon Knight, Saint Loy Raymond."

"So, if anyone is blind, just slap him!"

"And you guys, since you're in this position now, you must have a lot of connections, so mobilize them all.

As long as you can recruit truly talented people for Flower Territory, you will naturally be rewarded.

Of course, cooperation is allowed, but vicious competition is absolutely not allowed."

"Here are the requirements, everyone, let's get moving!"

"When the empire collapses, it's time for me to enjoy the flowers and eat my fill."

Although it was still night, when Luo Yi's order was issued, everyone present was inexplicably excited.

They acted quickly, each using their own channels to contact the empire and strive for various talents and resources.

Good news came back on the third day.

Hill Douglas, through his teacher, determined that there was a half-finished ironclad ship that could be operated to offset part of the debt.

Of course, as a price, the mechanical mages of their line hope to have a place in the Flower Territory and obtain Loy's protection.

What else is there to say?

Of course I agreed.

There were some minor incidents during the process. The navy of the Kingdom of Sardinia intercepted the Lion merchant ship, and a standoff broke out between the two sides.

But Loy called Queen Victoria directly through formal channels, and the Sardinian Navy chose to retreat.

With this precedent, the situation has been getting better and better.

As I said, the empire is in turmoil and the people are living in poverty. Even legendary strongmen have to seek a way out.

They themselves may be fearless and can just leave without any hesitation, but those who can grow into legends must have a large number of people following them.

Be it disciples, family, or relatives, these are all bonds.

What's more, if they want to go further, they must have a platform that can support their research and growth.

Although the three giants of the coalition also extended an olive branch, it was difficult for them to accept it emotionally.

As for other countries, few dare to jump in front of the three giants of the coalition.

The result is that in terms of strength, reputation, platform, and treatment, there is nothing better than receiving flowers.

As a result, Flower Territory can be said to have dug out the most walls in the empire.

Various personnel, technical data, magic projects, and rare materials were transported to Xianhualing in boatloads.

Siren Port has ushered in a new round of population migration, which has even reached a point beyond the port's capacity.

As a last resort, Luo Yi had to temporarily open the Lion City further north.

This city, which was built entirely according to modern standards and even added countless magical black technologies, appeared in the public eye for the first time since its construction.

Even though the guests here were all highly educated people and mechanical mages, they were still shocked by this city.

The arrival of these mature mechanics, technicians and skilled workers brought about an abundance of manpower and an explosion of technology.

They were filled by Luo Yi into various projects, which greatly accelerated the progress of the projects.

Even for the less popular missile project, Marius Gray found several like-minded mechanical wizards and happily updated the technology.

The various topics brought by these people opened Luo Yi's eyes.

It should be said that what the Flower Leader can think of, the Empire also has talented people who can think of, and even the project establishment and research will take even longer.

For example, Loy was foresighted and developed tanks, while the Empire put a lot of effort into "large-scale magic-powered humanoid mechanical armor."

To put it bluntly, they just want to skip the primary mechanical armor stage and go directly to research mechas.

Although there was no decisive breakthrough until the collapse of the empire, a lot of information, materials and technologies were accumulated.

The enrichment and inspiration of these technologies forced the Holy Dragon War Mecha project to be suspended.

Because the researchers are concentrated on learning these technologies, and only after they have been thoroughly digested can they be incorporated into the Holy Dragon War Mech.

Some technologies can be used, and some, although not, can provide materials and information for subsequent improvements and iterations.

The result was that the design drawings of the second-generation aircraft began to appear before the first-generation aircraft was finalized.

To be honest, although it costs a lot, the rewards are really great.

It can even be said that Flower Territory inherited most of the empire's magical technology and is considered the most orthodox successor.

This naturally caused dissatisfaction among some people.

Among the three giants of the coalition, the Bonaparte Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia did not dare to provoke Loy.

However, there is also a glorious empire coming from afar.

After the plot, they intercepted several merchant ships belonging to the Flower Territory on the pretext of illegal navigation.

And the lesson that Luo Yi taught them was very straightforward. He directly sent out third-generation fighter jets to sink four warships of the Glorious Empire at sea.

Of course, since they dared to cause trouble, they were naturally prepared.

The four legendary strongmen who were escorting them were all powerful aliens. Obviously, they were very dissatisfied that there was an earldom that was more powerful than the empire.

Unfortunately, there were as many as six legendary warriors that Loy dispatched, led by the ancient red dragon Virgil, as well as Ghost Rider Jonathan Blaze, legendary wizard Venus Carter, Hades Sword Saint Albus Rivers, King of Fury Silas and legendary warrior Nidhogg Hayes.

Moreover, before this, Luo Yi had specifically instructed that if the other party dared to attack, he would be beaten to death.

As a result, the four legends were chased to the point where they had no way out, and a tragedy almost occurred.

In the end, it was Saint John who came over and mediated the matter, which finally made Loy give in.

Even so, Luo Yi hijacked nine transport ships of the Glorious Empire as their compensation.

From then on, no one dared to provoke the Lion Fleet.

Of course, are you saying that the three giants of the coalition didn’t gain much?

That’s not really the case!

Although their reaction was slightly slower than that of the flower leader, they were really ruthless.

For example, the Kingdom of Sardinia was most interested in ironclad ships and magic submarines, so several large shipyards in the empire were occupied by them.

Designers and shipbuilders were directly detained and all the information was dug out and shipped to the Kingdom of Sardinia in shiploads.

For example, the Glorious Empire is most interested in aircraft and magic tanks.

Therefore, several large research institutes in the empire were directly occupied.

The Bonaparte Empire attached the most importance to its industrial base, so it occupied the empire's best Ruhr industrial area.

This is just the general direction.

In all other aspects, they were even more ruthless than Luo Yi. Their principle was to grab everything! Grab everything! Grab everything again!

The action initiated by these four families and joined by various major countries was called "shameful robbery" by scholars of the empire in later generations!

Of course, scholars from other countries say that this is a feast of division of magical technology.

It was also from then on that magical technology truly spread throughout the Helka world, presenting a flourishing posture.
