“Huh~”

Jasmine bandaged the wound on her body casually and breathed a sigh of relief.

The Hobro army was victorious.

Ever since she saw that the one hundred "magic soldiers" were the mecha warriors around Shu Daqiang, she knew that this time she had it figured out.

As expected, in this kind of street fighting, the mecha warriors with invincible defense have no chance of matching their opponents, unless they are surrounded by a large number of enemy soldiers, which would trap the mecha warriors to death, but the terrain here does not allow that.

If it is just a small-scale battle, it is normal for one mecha warrior to fight against dozens of orc soldiers.

Victory is already certain, it's just a matter of time.

It took a total of two hours from the time Jasmine purchased the "divine weapons from heaven". According to the price, she needed to pay 200,000 gold coins. Judging from the results, this was a very cost-effective deal.

Including the previous "air support", this time they only bought things worth 700,000 gold coins from the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, but these 700,000 gold coins cost the life of the Kingdom of Babus!

I have to say, even Jasmine is still a little bit unbelievable now.

"Captain Jasmine, now that the matter has been resolved, we will leave first."

Niu Dali, wearing a mecha, walked over and spoke to Jasmine.

"Thank you very much! But how are you leaving?"

Before Jasmine could finish her words, she saw that mysterious and huge thing appear in the sky again! Soon, a huge airship landed on the square outside the palace. Fortunately, the square was big enough to serve as a landing place.

Jasmine and the others didn't even bother to count the spoils, and they all subconsciously ran over to watch.

The captives of Babus looked at the airship with the red leaf logo with complicated eyes. If their guess was correct, this was definitely not something that the Kingdom of Hobro could own.

Rather than saying that they lost to the Kingdom of Hobro, it would be better to say that they lost to this mysterious force! Swish~ The airship landed, the hatch opened, Niu Dali nodded to Jasmine, and then led the other mecha warriors onto the airship.

After everyone got on, the airship took off again without any delay and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Oh my god, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce actually has such a magical weapon!"

It was not until Niu Dali and the others left that Jasmine's older brother Nick spoke out in envy.

I don’t know if they were shocked by the mecha soldiers, or the airship, or both. Anyway, the people at the scene didn’t dare to breathe. Only after they left did they dare to speak, “It would be great if we had something like this. I don’t know what it’s called, but it’s much better than a steam car!”

The second oldest brother, Harold, had a look of envy on his face.

He originally thought that buying so many steam cars was already very impressive, and he even had an inexplicable sense of superiority, but he didn't expect that the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce would not run on the ground, but directly fly into the sky! If they can have such a thing, what kind of wall can stop it? The reason why the Heavenly Wolf Empire is so powerful is that their flying wolf cavalry is one of the important factors. It can be said that the sky of the Orc Continent is ruled by the flying wolf cavalry!

If only they could join in the fun...

I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it! Harold quickly threw away these unrealistic thoughts. It was obvious that the flying thing of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce was definitely on the same level as the Flying Wolf Cavalry of the Heavenly Wolf Empire. They, a small Kingdom of Hobro, were not qualified to covet it. He still had this self-knowledge.

Jasmine also calmed down. The Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce had completed its mission, but the Hobro Kingdom had not.

Although occupying the Babus Royal City was the most important link, there were still many challenges waiting for them. After all, the territory of the Babus Kingdom was much larger than that of the Hobro Kingdom. It was not realistic to transfer people from the Hobro Kingdom to manage it. They must definitely select and promote people from the Babus Kingdom.

Selecting people is a huge science, and it’s enough to give Jasmine a headache.

But no matter how you look at it, overall, this time, their Kingdom of Hobro made a fortune!

Not only did they defeat the Babus Kingdom, they also occupied the Babus capital! The captives said that the king of Babus died in the "air support" of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, which means that the entire Babus Kingdom will fall into the hands of the Hobro Kingdom, it is only a matter of time.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the ranking of the Kingdom of Hobro will be improved. They will enter the top ten! After entering the top ten and obtaining the resources allocated by the Sirius Empire, their Kingdom of Hobro will develop rapidly in the next ten years. From then on, their Kingdom of Hobro will also become an existence that many people look up to! Jasmine did not dare to delay. She first asked someone to pass the news of the victory over the Kingdom of Babus to her father, and then set about dealing with the remaining problems of the Kingdom of Babus.

Although many soldiers of the Babus Kingdom surrendered, there were still some stubborn elements. They could only use coercion and inducement to deal with these people. This was a big project and it kept them busy.

…

The battle of Hobro's attack on Babs had slowly spread across the Orc continent since several days ago. After all, the eleventh-ranked country attacking the tenth-ranked country was something that had not been seen in many years.

Everyone knows clearly that although it seems that there is only one difference between the two, in fact, the gap is like a chasm!

In fact, the Kingdom of Hobro is not the first to challenge a higher ranking with a lower ranking.

A few decades ago, the eleventh place was not the Kingdom of Hobro, and the tenth place was not the Kingdom of Babus.

At that time, the eleventh place was an extremely powerful country, the most powerful country in the past hundred years except for the top ten! Many people said that this country definitely had the strength to be in the top ten, but it was just unlucky and did not make it.

As more and more people said this, the king of this country even believed it. He felt that they were qualified to challenge for the top ten position.

So he personally led the army and challenged the tenth place openly.

It has to be said that the eleventh one was indeed powerful, and he was able to fight back and forth with the tenth one, but that was all. After three days and three nights of fighting, the battle ended with the king committing suicide.

This was the first time in so many years that everyone had seen the combat power of the top ten countries. It was terrifying! It made all the orcs even more awed by them.

But it must be said that although the eleventh country failed, they still caused great losses to the tenth. In a premeditated plan, the tenth country, which had not yet recovered, was besieged by a three-nation alliance! In the end, the tenth country was defeated by the three-nation alliance with great difficulty. Among the three countries, two of them were Babus and Hobro.

In the end, no one knows what happened, but another of the three kingdoms that were dividing the spoils was destroyed by a mysterious force, the Kingdom of Hobro was also severely damaged, and the tenth place was taken by the Kingdom of Babus.

From then on, the Babus Kingdom, which became the tenth place, rose, and the Hobro Kingdom did not fall into decline, but followed closely and became the new eleventh place.

Obviously, something unknown happened here, which may be related to the Kingdom of Babus.

Now that the Kingdom of Hobro has chosen to challenge the Kingdom of Babus, everyone can understand that, but they are not optimistic about the Kingdom of Hobro.

Because after so many years of development, the Babus Kingdom has definitely reached the strength of the previous tenth place, but the Hobro Kingdom does not have the strength of the eleventh place back then!

So in their view, the Kingdom of Hobro was doomed to fail.

It all depends on how long it takes the Babus Kingdom to resolve the battle.

The leaders of these countries are all looking forward to it.

The reason why they are so concerned about the Kingdom of Hobro is certainly not because they are concerned, but because they want to wait until the war is over to see if there is any opportunity to take advantage.

Is it even possible to replicate something that took decades to accomplish?

Of course, they were just thinking about this kind of thing, after all, Hobro was no longer the eleventh one back then.

就在这种所有人关注的情况下，三天之后，一个让人始料未及的消息从巴布斯王国慢慢地传了出来。

“巴布斯王国败了？”

“巴布斯的国王都战死了？”

“霍布罗王国取代巴布斯王国，成为第十名？”

“这怎么可能！”

听到这些消息，众兽人的第一反应就是不相信。

毕竟，这可是排名前十的巴布斯王国啊，和霍布罗王国相比，完全不是一个级别的。

这么强大的国家竟然败给了霍布罗王国？ 霍布罗王国真的这么强？

众人越想越觉得不对，因为霍布罗的实力，他们很多人知道，虽然他的确是除了前十名外最强的国家，但霍布罗与巴布斯的差距还是很大的，这中间可不仅仅是一名的距离，而是十几名甚至二十名的距离！ 在战争打响之前，他们都模拟了无数遍，但结果告诉他们，霍布罗王国赢的胜率，无限接近与零。

至于还有那么一点点的可能，那就是巴布斯正好在被其他国家，甚至在被前十的国家攻击，然后霍布罗去捡了个便宜。

只有这样，霍布罗王国才能艰难的获得胜利。

但很明显，这是不可能的。

虽然现在整片大陆都处于战乱之中，但是前十名却稳得一批，他们不会主动找事，也不会互相战斗，能保持这个名次，他们就是赚的，没必要惹事生非，战乱的国家基本上都是排名十一往后的，排名越低，战争就越激烈，毕竟他们稍有不慎就有淘汰的风险，不拼命不行。

所以，他们觉得霍布罗必败！ 霍布罗败了之后，他们就可以去捡便宜了。

就算抱着这个想法的国家很多，但霍布罗这么大的国家，能随便分一点东西也是好的。

甚至还有的人在想，要是霍布罗能在灭国之前，重创巴布斯王国的话，那他们是不是有机会捡巴布斯王国的便宜？ 当然，这也只是想想而已，因为他们知道这是不可能的。

然而，当霍布罗真的战败巴布斯的消息传来后，众人都有些懵了。

不过这消息是他们的斥候传来的，准确性肯定没问题。

而且就算一个人的消息错了，但不可能所有人的消息都是错误的吧！ 难道是巴布斯王国弄出来的障眼法？他们就是想看还有谁要打他的注意，然后好一网打尽？ 这个理由虽然也很扯，但是比霍布罗战胜巴布斯要可靠多了。

于是，这些谨慎的兽人们并没有什么太大动作，还是和往常一样，继续打探着巴布斯与霍布罗的消息。

又过了一天。

关于霍布罗与巴布斯的消息愈发多了起来。

“霍布罗军队之所以能够打赢巴布斯王国，是因为擅长进攻的巴布斯第二军团被全歼了！”

“霍布罗国王已经派出不少官员前往巴布斯王国了，看样子像是接手巴布斯的一部分事物！”

“霍布罗的兽人是坐着红叶商会的蒸汽汽车离开的，他们貌似和红叶商会合作了！”

“霍布罗国内开始大规模招人了！”

“……”

一条条消息，炸的众人头昏眼花！ 霍布罗王国，真的……赢了？ 这下子，兽人大陆的众多国家再也坐不住了！ 无数的探子从国内出发，飞速前往巴布斯王国查看情况，甚至有的国家还动用了潜藏了无数年的间谍，只为知道，巴布斯王国到底还在不在。

很快，三天过去了。

看到调查结果后，这些国家沉默了。

霍布罗，真的赢了！

而且是以大胜之势战胜了巴布斯王国！

现在巴布斯王国内，除了部分抵抗顽强的地区外，其他城市都宣布愿意接受霍布罗国王的领导，从此以后，巴布斯一词，成为了历史！ 众人难以置信，但不管他们信不信，这就是事实！ 从此以后，一颗冉冉新星将在兽人大陆崛起！ 是霍布罗太强？还是巴布斯太弱？

怀着复杂的心情，众人开始往更深处挖掘，他们想要知道，霍布罗到底是如何战胜强大的巴布斯的。

而这一挖不要紧，很多出人意料却又在情理之中的东西，慢慢的浮出水面——霍布罗能战胜巴布斯的原因，是因为他们和红叶商会达成深度合作！

合作大家都知道，很多国家都和红叶商会合作过，但深度合作是什么意思？ 原来，深度合作就是说，他们霍布罗王国能从红叶商会那里买到一般人买不到的东西！

有人爆料，这一次霍布罗能赢的原因有三个。

其一，是因为霍布罗有蒸汽汽车提供机动性，打了巴布斯一个措手不及。

很显然，蒸汽汽车是红叶商会出售的，这东西现在已经不是什么秘密了，很多国家都买了，只不过没人像霍布罗一下子买这么多而已。

其二，是因为巴布斯在外执行任务的第二军团，根本没能回来！ 而据知情人士透露，他们没能回来的原因，是因为他们被红叶商会给歼灭了！ 至于如何歼灭的，大部分人都不清楚，甚至连当时去打扫战场的那些他国兽人们都不知道，他们只知道在无数声惊天爆炸声中，第二军团就没了。

不过也有零星的消息传出，这好像跟什么“空中支援”有关，至于空中支援是什么，现在可能除了霍布罗的高层外，没有人知道。

再说其三，那就是霍布罗军队顺利的攻破巴布斯王城，并且以摧枯拉朽之势战胜了巴布斯剩余残兵，最终奠定了胜势。

而这同样与红叶商会有关，因为巴布斯王城的城墙是出了名的坚固，结果被红叶商会瞬间给破开了，到现在大家还不知道具体是怎么破开的，只是能看到在原本的城墙位置，有一个巨大的豁口。

至于在城内巷战的经过，看到的人不多，以为大部分都死了。他们只知道这也有红叶商会参与了，但具体是怎么参与的，没人知道。

不过关于飞艇的事情，当时有很多人看到了，他们虽然不知道这是什么东西，但能飞在天上的东西，肯定很厉害，巷战胜利肯定和天上飞的那东西有关！

当然，除了这些外，还有一些其他原因，比如红叶商会提供的粮食，红叶商户提供的兵器等等。

相对于这最重要的三点，其他的显得没那么重要了。

当事情越来越清晰，霍布罗王国和红叶商会合作的细节慢慢的揭露出来时。

红叶商会在兽人大陆彻底出名了！

以前，大家觉得，和红叶商会合作是能获得好处，但付出的金钱也不少，好处有限。

但现在看来，人家能帮助霍布罗取得第十名的成就了，这叫好处有限？

这是天大的好处吧！

如果他们能像霍布罗一样，取得前十的排名……这起码安稳个几十甚至百年是一点问题都没有啊！ 前十名啊，这和后面九十名是一个天上一个地下！ 很多国家都不淡定了，尤其是那些排名靠前的，十几名左右的。

如果不出意外，他们祖祖辈辈都是这样了，不可能在提升排名，甚至还有可能降低，但如果有了红叶商会的帮助，他们是不是也和霍布罗王国一样，也有崛起的机会？ 有点野心的国家，现在就派人出发，去丹加城接触红叶商会了。

而那些没有太大野心的国家，同样也匆匆派人去找红叶商会了。

这是很简单的道理，如果大家都不强，那就可以相安无事，但别人变强了，而你还在原地踏步，那你就面临被淘汰的危险！

而这其中，就有前十名中剩下的九个国家。

When they heard about Hobro's attack on Babs, they all looked on indifferent, but now they smelled an extremely dangerous atmosphere! They felt a deadly threat! Who exactly is this Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce?
