Volume 4 Chapter 64 - Bloody conflict (1/2)

Volume 4 This Magic Sedan looked very familiar. When it came closer, Cantona recognized it, it was Baron Rover’s car.

When he met Baron Rover last time, he even shown off this Magic Sedan to Cantona. He said that it wasn’t easy to transport this car over from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s Magic Sedan factory on the Black Rice Wasteland.

Because the Lampuri Kingdom’s business department was limiting the imports of magic machines, he had spent quite a bit of effort just to transport this Magic Sedan in.

This Magic Sedan quickly came to the field and the door opened, as Baron Rover walked out.

Cantona was about to go over when Baron Rover’s eyes fell onto him. He quickly came over and asked, “Hey, Cantona, didn’t we agree that you would come harvest the wheat in my territory today? Why are you still here?”

Cantona gave a bitter laugh and pointed at the field, “There were problems with the new machines we brought, so we were thinking about what to do.”

“New machines?” Baron Rover looked over and understood, “Is it the agricultural magic machines you bought from the Hayada Chamber of Commerce?”

“Un, we were testing it here and we were going to harvest other places if there were no problems, but you can see that most of these small Magic Harvesters have broken. We can’t do anything even if we wanted to harvest your fields.” Cantona said in a helpless voice.

Baron Rover curled his lips in disdain and said, “I already told you that this Hayada Chamber of Commerce was made by the Kodak Family. They don’t know anything about this, so how could their agricultural magic machines be good?”

“I also have no choice. The City Lord Manor has made a rule that only the Hayada Chamber of Commerce’s agricultural magic machines can be used. The business department and the agricultural department have also released their rules. Our company can’t do anything but follow them.” Cantona said with a sigh.

Baron Rover looked at him, “Then what will you do? Is your company not helping with the harvest this year? Who will harvest all the wheat in my field?”

Cantona spread his hand and shook his head with a bitter smile, “I want to help you, but the situation isn’t good. If you wait two more days and when the Hayada Chamber of Commerce sends people to fix these small Magic Harvesters, I’ll immediately send people to harvest your fields.”

“Bullshit! I can wait, but the wheat in my fields can’t. If we don’t harvest them, they’ll all go rotten in a few days!” Baron Rover angrily said.

“There’s no other way. Without the agricultural magic machines, there’s no use just sending people.”

“Who says you have no agricultural magic machines?” Baron Rover shook his head, “I don’t believe that you would throw away the Frestech Brand magic machines you bought before. Go and get them, then follow me. If we move fast enough, we might be able to finish harvesting the wheat today.”

“This might not work.” Cantona said in a surprised voice, “The City Lord Manor has made strict rules that no one is allowed to use any brand other than the Hayada Brand.”

“Who cares about those damn rules!” Baron Rover cursed, “Then again, it is my territory, it isn’t considered part of Banta City’s land. I can use whatever brand I want on my land, the City Lord Manor can’t care at all.”

“This……”

Seeing that Cantona was still hesitating, Baron Rover gave him a push, “Alright, stop wasting words and hurry up. Go and send people to bring the Frestech Brand agricultural magic machines. We’ll try to harvest all the wheat in my field today.”

“Right, chairman, the Lord Baron already said it, let’s just do this.”

“That’s right, the Lord Baron is right. That is his territory, the City Lord Manor can’t manage it.”

“Un, chairman, quickly make a decision. We need to move quickly, we shouldn’t delay things.”

……

The workers all agreed and with the urging from Baron Rover, Cantona thought for a bit before nodding.

“Alright, then we’ll do this! But Lord Baron, if the City Lord Manor comes causing trouble…..”

“I’ll take responsibility, it won’t fall onto you, so you can be assured.” Baron Rover cut him off, “Don’t think about it that just, just get ready and we’ll go together. The people on my territory are prepared, they are just waiting for you.”

Seeing that Baron Rover made this promise, Cantona was assured. He waved his hand at his staff, “Alright, brothers, let’s go prepare the stuff and get ready for work!”

The workers all cheered before scattering. They all headed to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce’s warehouse in Mexilan Village.

They took out the forbidden Frestech Brand agricultural magic machines and everyone felt much better.

They had used these magic machines for over two years and it was close to three years now, so they were very familiar with them.

Using it for such a long time, there were few problems that occurred with the Frestech Brand agricultural magic machines, so they were assured of using them. It wasn’t like the Hayada Brand where they were afraid that it would break at any moment.

With everyone prepared, Baron Rover got on his Magic Sedan and led the way. This group headed off on the road and set out towards Baron Rover’s territory.

It didn’t take them long to arrive at Baron Rover’s territory. They didn’t need any instructions as they started their agricultural magic machines, driving them into the wheat fields filled with yellow grains and began harvesting them.

They did this every year during the spring and autumn harvest, so whether it was Baron Rover, Cantona, or the workers, they were all familiar with this.

Because they were using the familiar and easy to use Frestech Brand agricultural magic machines, their efficiency went back to normal. It only took more than an hour to harvest most of Baron Rover’s less than ten hectares of farmland.

Seeing that they would be able to finish before the sun set, Baron Rover was in a good mood.

Although with the popularization of the agricultural magic machines and the use of fertilizers, the Lampuri Kingdom’s grain yield had increased, decreasing the pressure in growing grains, the most important task for them as nobles was to hand over the grains during the spring and fall harvest of each year.

Once they couldn’t finish this task, they would be warned by the Royal Parliament. A serious warning would mean losing their rank or losing part of their territory.

So even though Baron Rover had enough finances to buy grains to turn over, he still attached importance to his own farmland.

No matter what, it was more convenient to use his own farmland to solve this most important problem.
