It took three days in total for the Purple Fire Mercenary Group to take over all their territory and capture most of them.
These prisoners were easily assimilated; after being dispersed, they were integrated into the army without much resistance.
This is the norm for those living in the Chaotic Territory. Today they pledge allegiance to one power, but tomorrow that power may be destroyed, and then they will pledge allegiance to a new power.
As for choices, sorry, the weak have no choice, and the strong won't choose either, because they can have it all.
"Consolidate all the gains within two days, and mobilize all troops to be ready to attack the Green Alliance at any time."
The dilapidated manor was riddled with holes, and all the decorations on the walls had been looted.
In a somewhat empty and desolate hall, Su Qing pointed to the map on the wall and drew a line.
That's the boundary between them and the Green Alliance.
Su Qing pointed to the two cities closest to the border, one to the east and one to the west.
"Using the pretext of an exercise, deploy all troops to these two cities!"
There was a reason for choosing these two cities: if necessary, a single order could be given to launch a pincer attack on the entire Qing Alliance from the east and west.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Su Qing plans to carry out a decapitation operation.
Suppression... or rather, an invitation for all the high-ranking members of the Green Alliance to join the Dragon Alliance, to develop together, and to create a harmonious yet chaotic territory.
It also allows for better self-protection and development.
Su Qing thought those guys wouldn't be so ungrateful.
"You two mobilize the troops, get everything ready, and set off with me in three days."
Su Qing calmly issued the order: "In addition, your resources should all be ready, right? That batch of cannons will arrive tomorrow, with a quantity of about two thousand. I've negotiated a preferential price for you, so I hope you won't take it for granted."
The old fox's face twitched. His words before were quite normal, but this last sentence... If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat you, believe me, you would have been beaten to a pulp by now.
The magic cannons were indeed a good thing for them. Some of the batch they bought last time had already been damaged, so they should definitely buy some more. However, since it was a business transaction, they would have to negotiate the price.
"Why is the price higher than last time?"
This was indeed the old fox's question, because the price had tripled compared to last time.
"What do you know?"
Su Qing looked disdainful: "If it's the latest version of the Magic Cannon, version 16.5, its power is ten times that of the previous version."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's expression changed, and the old fox's eyes lit up: "Are you telling the truth?"
If the power is truly ten times greater than before, then a five-fold increase in price would be reasonable.
"Of course! Now do you think this price is reasonable?"
Su Qing gradually smiled, a sly glint in her narrowed eyes.
"Three times is our internal price; it would sell for at least six times the price outside. Plus, there are some other good things; you'll have to see them later."
The old fox remained silent, admitting he had shamefully been tempted. Just as he was about to speak, Ariel made her decision first: "We'll take both two thousand units!"
The old fox's expression changed, and his tone became somewhat unfriendly: "To take it all for yourself? Lord, you've gone a bit too far!"
Ariel glanced at him indifferently without answering, perhaps too lazy to argue with him.
The old fox hesitated for a long time, then said, "We should get at least eight hundred units!"
Ariel was unwilling to speak, so the old butler stepped forward to negotiate with the old fox. After some wrangling, the distribution plan was finally settled: Lily would receive 1,300 units, and the Stan family would receive 700 units.
As for the other things Su Qing mentioned, we'll have to see them in detail before we can allocate them.
Fortunately, two days later, just before Su Qing was about to set off, the goods delivered from the Hope City transit station finally arrived.
Of the two thousand magic cannons, Su Qing took one out and tested it.
Since it's not the highest version, but only the second tier that currently has mass production capabilities, I hadn't seen it before, so I gave it a try.
The cannon, with its dark, cylindrical barrel, is about two meters long and inscribed with runes. It features three rings of energy-gathering light, twelve magic crystal inlays, four modes of operation, and simple lock-on tracking capabilities.
This made the old fox feel that the price was completely worth it.
The previous magic cannon could only fire, and its power was not great. Now, it can not only fire but also perform all sorts of fancy tricks.
Besides these, there are two other things.
The Magic Power Vehicle has a teardrop-shaped body made of extremely hard cold iron metal. It is equipped with two small cannons at the front, twelve long spikes, and blades on the left and right. It has four special tires that can adapt to all terrains and can exceed 500 kilometers per hour at its fastest speed.
In short, if there were thousands of these magical vehicles, the results of a single charge would be unimaginable.
The last item is a glove made of some kind of soft metal wire, with an inlay slot inside where different magical crystals of different attributes can be inlaid for use.
Once activated, it can unleash the power of thunder, which can be used directly on the fist or applied to weapons. Its power is quite impressive, enough to temporarily elevate a high-ranking knight's combat strength to the Glory level.
One or two is one thing, but if they were deployed in large numbers, with 100,000 Glory-level soldiers attacking together, even the Glorious Peak would likely be overthrown in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of a clear market response, the latter two types of goods brought in this time were not numerous. However, Ariel and the old fox placed orders for some more, making it a very large transaction.
Seeing his wealth points skyrocket, Su Qing beamed with joy.
We must manage both war and commerce!
The thought flashed through Su Qing's eyes. The Dragon Alliance launched a war to collect resources and buy items from the Dragon Territory. The Dragon Territory then used these resources to continue developing and manufacturing better goods to sell back to the Dragon Alliance at higher prices.
A virtuous cycle was thus formed.
I'm such a genius!
Su Qing sighed to herself for a moment, then quickly came to her senses: "Ready to set off!"
The manpower was already prepared, a total of seven people, and apart from Chris, the remaining six were all at their peak.
The lineup is truly impressive.
However, Chris always seemed a bit out of place in the group.
Some people's eyes flashed with a strange light, clearly regarding Chris as a confidant of the Dragon Alliance leader.
Su Qing's gaze slowly fell on Chris. After considering for a while, she finally spoke up: "Do you want to meet your dwarf sister? After all, you had a deeply unforgettable love affair with her!"
Chris remained silent, his eyes lifeless as he looked up. He didn't speak, just stared at Su Qing silently, making Su Qing feel awkward.
"Fine, if you don't want to meet, then fine. But if that dwarf sister gets married, wouldn't you be considered cheated on?"
Taking a deep breath, Chris vowed that if he ever managed to defeat the dragon in front of him, he would beat it until it lost control of its bladder and bowels.
P.S.: Just realized, it's Christmas Day today!
Then I'd like to wish all my readers a Happy New Year in advance!
