Chapter 461 The fall
of "Benedict Automobile" The surge in its price was something that almost all businessmen expected.
so……
Although I was amazed at the towering trading volume, it was just amazement.
For Eric Barrios, the stock price of Eric's Clothing is enough to make him feel satisfied.
With this money,
He suddenly felt that he had great potential in the future and that his future was bright.
Eric Barrios was very sure that one day, the clothes produced by his workshop... oh no, his own clothing company, would be able to enter the counters of Idar Department Store, and even countless directly-operated stores would be established throughout the Principality of Idar!
Not only him, the surge in the stock market was seen by almost everyone, and those businessmen who were previously struggling were even more furious.
For the first time, they realized that business... could actually be operated this way!
Perhaps it was at this moment that the name of Idar Royal Exchange had quietly left a deep imprint in the hearts of Idar merchants.
The word "going public" has become the dream of countless Idar businessmen!
…
only……
This carnival and feast in the business field belongs only to the merchants of the Principality of Idar; the long-lost prosperity and peace also belong only to the people living on this land.
Because on the other side of the Almis Mountains, in that vast land, brutal war was ravaging and destroying the unarmed civilians all the time.
Neither the Principality of Idar in the east nor the Kingdom of Cecil in the west, the two most important variables, had any intention of intervening in the inland war.
after all……
The Principality of Idar had just conquered the Kingdom of Basel and was now struggling.
As for the Kingdom of Cecil... well, ever since seeing the magical weapons from the Principality of Idar, even though it didn't say it, the Kingdom of Cecil has been secretly keeping an eye on the movements of the Principality of Idar.
Since even the young duke who dominated the east had no intention of intervening, King Cecil Mankun Blood would not even think of intervening in the war.
then……
Since the war began, the Crusaders' offensive has been unstoppable!
Even though Second Prince Reiz controlled a vast tract of land, his army had been fighting continuously for a long time, and the soldiers had lost their will to fight and were exhausted.
In addition, the slogans raised by the Crusaders were quite tempting, and even the civilians gradually became tired of Rez's rule.
Although this will not directly affect the war on the front line, as the war continues, it has become increasingly difficult for Rez to replenish troops and collect food and fodder...
…
Rez and his troops officially withdrew from the city of St. Lawrence at the end of September in the new calendar year 539.
As a direct descendant of the Alexander family of the Norman royal family and the emperor of the Third Norman Empire, for Rez, the fall of St. Lawrence was definitely an extremely heavy blow.
Because... this city has a very special status and significance!
Not only is it a transportation hub located in the center of the continent, but it has also been the capital of the Norman Empire for thousands of years! Whoever owns Saint Lawrence owns the legitimacy of the Norman Empire! A year ago, Rez drove his brother, the eldest prince Pizman, out of the city, and now... in less than a year, the Crusaders of the Church of Light have become the new masters of this city!
As the sun sets, its afterglow is spreading across the land.
Standing on the towering city wall of St. Lawrence, the commander of the Crusaders, Caravelle Windle, was calmly looking at the ruins inside the city wall.
This giant city that has stood on the continent for a hundred years has become a devastated city under the ravages of war.
Collapsed houses, ashes left behind, and victims begging for food on the side of the street...
If someone were walking on the streets of St. Lawrence at this moment, no one would have thought that this was once an extremely prosperous city.
"Commander, everything is ready!"
While he was thinking, a bishop wearing a pure gold cross walked up to Carraway Wendel.
Hearing this, the Crusader Legion Commander, who looked exceptionally heroic, could not help but close his eyes.
A moment later...
When Callaway Wendel spoke again, his voice had become extremely firm and cold:
"Then let's get started!"
"yes!"
After he finished speaking, the bishop nodded solemnly.
then……
Accompanied by a series of shrill trumpet sounds, thick smoke began to rise gradually in the direction of the Norman Palace.
At this moment, the magnificent Norman Palace was finally set on fire by the Crusaders.
Fire, a blazing fire rising into the sky!
Accompanied by gusts of evening breeze, the red flames were spreading rapidly in the palace, devouring everything around it wantonly.
The thick smoke that gradually rose up covered most of the sky of St. Lawrence in a very short time.
Although they were separated by dozens of streets, Carraway Wendel, standing on the top of the city, seemed to still be able to feel the astonishing temperature contained in the flames and the pungent smell in the thick smoke.
It was a smell of dead wood, velvet, and corpses mixed together, burning violently...
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"The royal family is corrupt, and the Church of Light is the only savior of this land!"
After that, he turned around and looked at the adjutant beside him: "Any news about Rez?"
"Rez's army has crossed the Albon River and is retreating towards the Sogn Plain. As you instructed, a legion of crusaders is chasing them!" the adjutant answered truthfully.
"Kill them all! We want to restore order on this continent, and they... all deserve to die!"
As he was saying,
As if accidentally,
There was only a faint golden light flickering between Carraway Wendel's brows.
And there seemed to be a flash of bloodthirsty light in his eyes.
That……
It is the mark left after receiving the blessing from God. It is also the emblem of piety and glory possessed by every Crusader soldier who walks out of the Augre Desert.
"yes!"
Hearing the words of the legion commander, the adjutant beside him nodded expressionlessly.
Not far away, the flames had already engulfed the Norman Palace and the Noble Parliament, and were gradually turning the nobles' residences into ruins...
【Today's joke】
One day, Bai Suzhen farted, and Xu Xian suddenly realized, "Madam, are you a rattlesnake?"
