Chapter 430 Divine Soldiers Descend from the Sky!

How should I put it…

Putting aside the patterns on the banknotes and the impact that issuing banknotes can have, the material of the banknotes of the Principality of Idar is quite similar to the style of Canadian banknotes in the previous life.

As Bruno mentioned earlier, the paper money of the Principality of Idar is not entirely made of cotton pulp, hemp pulp and other raw materials, but a small amount of special metals are mixed into the papermaking raw materials according to a certain ratio.

For example...

Special mithril materials, fragments of magic crystals...

The addition of these special materials greatly increased the difficulty of counterfeiting Idar banknotes! If this is a real banknote, then when it is exposed to strong light, it will show a light blue glimmer unique to the magic crystal material! It is enough to be regarded as a milestone in currency anti-counterfeiting work! In addition, the new version of Idar Principality's banknotes has many unexpected surprises.

For example,

The banknotes of the Principality of Idar can be washed!

Since Idar banknotes are made of special materials, as long as you don't add bleach or something like that to the water (which isn't happening now), if you use ordinary soapy water to launder money, the banknotes will not suffer any damage and can even serve as a disinfectant!

What’s even more exaggerated is…if you stack a few brand new hundred-dollar bills together, you can even cut a cucumber!

And this...

It's quite amazing! Although the cost of paper money has increased a little bit after adding a small amount of metal, the public's recognition and acceptance of paper money has skyrocketed.

You know, papermaking technology is a unique industry of the Principality of Idar, and now... paper money is so awesome that it naturally surprises many people.

So...

The focus of Idar residents on banknotes has gradually shifted from whether banknotes can maintain their value to what other highlights this special banknote has that others have not discovered.

The Idar Daily also added fuel to the fire in its newspaper that day, focusing on the unique patterns on banknotes of different denominations and the profound meaning behind each pattern.

The small-denomination banknotes all feature the wonders that stand across the Principality of Idar, while the large-denomination banknotes of fifty and one hundred yuan feature Bruno's portrait.

only……

Bruno's portrait on the banknotes is different.

On the fifty-dollar bill, Bruno is shown wearing armor, riding a horse, his eyes staring forward, with a saber tightly grasped in his hand, like a heroic general who has experienced many battles and dares to be the first.

Even though it's on paper, it still gives people a different kind of shock.

On the 100-dollar bill, Bruno is smiling and wearing a gorgeous aristocratic dress, holding an exquisite aristocratic scepter in his right hand.

His left arm was slightly propped up, and a young griffin flapped the light golden wings on its back, as if it was looking down at the people standing in front of Bruno with a disdainful gaze.

Handsome! Really handsome! Even though he is a man, Justin Lucio was shocked by the portrait of Bruno printed on the banknote! And...

After the initial shock, when he arranged the latest edition banknotes of various denominations together... for some reason, a strange feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.

As a successful businessman, Justin Lucio is far smarter than most people of this era.

so……

He soon realized something.

indeed,

The banknotes of the Principality of Idar are exquisite in style and texture, and the pattern of Bruno drawn on them is lifelike, but this is not the most important thing! Whether it is civilians or dignitaries, currency is the most frequently used transaction tool in people's daily lives.

The new Idar currency will circulate in the Lost Land and will even gradually flow into any country on this continent. This has become a consensus among all Idar merchants.

after all……

When the superiority of paper money gradually becomes apparent, no one will be able to refuse the paper money of the Principality of Idar! By then...

Whether you are a citizen of the Principality of Idar or not, everyone will see the portrait of Bruno printed on the banknotes and the wonders of the Principality of Idar presented on the banknotes!

This also means that even though they may not have been to the Principality of Idar, the name of the Principality of Idar will be imprinted in everyone's heart! In Justin Lucio's opinion, this is the most terrifying thing about the new currency of the Principality of Idar! With the circulation of paper money, the influence of the Principality of Idar will continue to spread, and the name of the Stuart family will spread throughout the continent.

The natives of the Lost Land will also have great interest in the Principality of Idar, which is far away on the other side of the ocean.

Even though Bruno was cautious and did not directly print the laws and policies of the Principality of Idar on the first edition of banknotes.

But as Idar banknotes become more and more popular...

When Idar banknotes began to circulate in the hands of all Basel citizens and Odin citizens...

If Bruno suddenly decided to issue a second edition of banknotes and printed words like "Serfs can obtain civilian status with work points" on the paper...

Then the countries on the continent will face an unsolvable situation! I thought the Duke was just issuing currency to promote the prosperity and development of business, but I didn't expect... the Duke actually thought so far ahead! Justin Lucio knew in his heart that since he could think of this, the Duke must have thought of these things a long time ago, and it might even be longer than what he thought! Indeed,

Countries on the continent can also follow suit and issue their own banknotes, but... Justin Lucio doesn't think that his lord Duke, the young but far-sighted Duke of Idar, has left him no backup plan!

Looking at the Idar people on the street holding banknotes and looking left and right with a look of curiosity, Justin Lucio suddenly felt a strong sense of pride as an Idar merchant.

High! Really high!

The Duke is worthy of being the founder of economics. He has figured out both economic issues and monetary systems!

…

The lost land.

For the people living in the city-state of Padilha, the arrival of the Idar people was like a warm breeze before the coming of winter.

Suddenly broke into their lives, and then left quietly without them noticing.

Apart from the presence of a dozen Idar soldiers in the Idar Embassy in the city-state of Padilla, this land has not changed much.

Time flies, the days and months pass by like a shuttle.

If we count from the time when Grand Elder Sherman Goodberg led the delegation to the Principality of Idar, more than two months have passed.

As February approached, the atmosphere in the city-state of Padilla became tense.

because……

Spring is coming.

This should have been a season of vitality and revival, and the fields near the city-state could finally be cultivated again.

But... almost all the city-state residents had a look of solemnity and worry on their faces that was visible to the naked eye.

Yes,

The arrival of spring means the revival of all things, but it also means the arrival of a tide of beasts.

When the severe cold that is enough to drive the mutants back gradually dissipates, the mutants that emerge from their nests will burst out with unprecedented hunting instincts, and bring a threat to the survival of the human city-states built on this land! Everybody is a soldier!

There is no distinction between civilians and soldiers in the city-state of Padilha. Whenever a beast tide is approaching, all the civilians will go to the city walls and jointly guard the land where they have lived for generations.

Because once the protection of the city walls is gone, the residents of the city-state will lose the only barrier they can rely on, and can only rely on bare hands and inferior weapons to fight those bloodthirsty mutants in close combat.

February 13, 539 of the new calendar, sunny.

Nick Allison stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the dense forest in the distance with a frown on his face.

There, waves of suppressed roars continued to be heard, and the brutal and ugly figures of the mutants seemed to be right in front of them.

Nick Allison is the most powerful warrior in the city-state of Padilha. His full name is "Soul of Padilha, Natural Enemy of Mutants, Unyielding Defender, War Commander, Nick Allison of the Thunder of Heaven."

As his title suggests, Nick Allison has a history of killing mutants several times.

Although he was only in his early twenties and didn't look very strong, he was actually as strong as an ox and had quick reactions. More than thirty mutants had died tragically under his sword! Whenever faced with a beast tide, he would often stand at the forefront and fight a desperate battle with the mutants.

But this time...

Just from the roars of the mutants, he could tell from his past experience that... this upcoming beast tide would be more terrifying than the previous ones! Finally...

In the next moment, the mutants seemed to have received some kind of signal. With a dull roar, countless mutants leaped out of the dense forest and poured towards the Padiliya city-state.

Green face, fangs, wolf tail, black claws, blood-red eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty and ferocious light.

Even though the residents of the city-state of Padilha had fought countless life-and-death battles with these one-eyed monsters since birth, they still broke out in cold sweats when they saw such a large number of mutants.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

There are simply too many of them! There are almost twice as many mutants as the last beast tide! "Catapults! Fire!"

indeed,

The city-state of Padilla also has long-range weapons such as catapults, but... the damage that stones can cause to mutants can generally be completely ignored.

As for the bow and arrow...

Compared with the "army" of mutants heading straight for the city, even if the arrows were shot at high speed and hit the target every time, it was difficult to stop them from approaching the city.

As the mutants in the front began to climb the city walls, a feeling of despair began to spread among the hearts of the city-state's residents.

They did go to the top of the city wall with the mentality of being ready to die, but the large number of mutants made them feel confused and powerless.

Nick Allison raised the saber in his hand and roared loudly:

"For the survival of the city-state of Padilla, and for our families and friends left behind! Kill!"

…

On the coast.

After experiencing storms for several days, the ocean-going fleet of the Principality of Idar finally arrived at the southwest coast of the Lost Land.

However……

The constant shouting and screaming of grief coming from afar made the great elder Sherman Goodberg look worried.

Beast tide!

It must be a beast tide!

Spring in the Lost Land comes earlier than in the Principality of Idar, but... they finally caught up!

"Brigadier General Howson..."

The Great Elder looked at Captain Hausen beside him, his eyes filled with extremely strong pleading and expectation.

"Air Force Scouts! Take off the hot air balloon immediately and observe the enemy situation!"

Captain Howson said calmly.

He was of course aware that the city-state of Padilla was in imminent danger, but... he would never risk the lives of the Idar soldiers in his hands! So,

As the Great Elder looked on in shock, a gigantic balloon rose into the sky and flew slowly towards the nearby city-state of Padililla.

"This is……"

All right,

Things like hot air balloons have completely exceeded the limits of what Great Elder Sherman Goodberg could imagine.

War... can actually extend to the sky? !

"They are Idar Air Force scouts." Captain Hausen explained to the Great Elder.

"This is too... incredible..."

…

On a hot air balloon.

The Idar Air Force scout was observing the fierce battle taking place on the top of Padilha City with a telescope in his hand.

Without exception, all the men living in the city-state of Padiliya went up to the city walls and fought bloody battles with countless mutants.

Almost every minute, dozens of people would fall down on the city wall, unable to stand up again.

As news came from the hot air balloons that took off into the sky, the scale of the beast tide and the number of mutants were constantly sorted out and summarized in Captain Hausen's ears.

He remained calm and controlled throughout.

but……

When he heard that dozens of Idar soldiers who stayed behind in the city-state of Padilla had already climbed up the city wall fully armed and were about to engage in close combat with the mutants...

Captain Hausen finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Yes,

Although it sounds cruel, the fact is that the reason why Captain Hausen has not launched an attack on the mutants is... actually because he is waiting for a time that he thinks is right.

Scouting the enemy is just an excuse!

In his opinion,

Only by making the local people feel truly confused and powerless, the Idar people, who are like divine soldiers sent from heaven, can win more people's hearts.

But……

As an Idar soldier, Captain Hausen would never watch the Idar soldiers and residents of the city-state fighting alone! So...

The magic cannons began to adjust their muzzles, and the Idar Army landed on the coast.

Following Captain Hausen's order, the magic cannon that had been silent for a long time once again made a sound like thunder.

At this moment, the Principality of Idar, thousands of miles away, finally and officially intervened in this war across the ocean!

[Regarding the standard system and its related issues, we have already introduced them in the previous chapters, so I will not explain them in detail.]
