Volume 6 Chapter 89 - A company declaring war on a country? (1/2)
“Hong, hong, hong, hong, hong……”
Countless red lights fell from the sky, hitting the position of the Spirit Turtle Regiment, creating a series of loud explosions.
Regiment commander Thomas could only helplessly watch as the defensive position their regiment had held for half a month was blown up. His heart was filled with shock and even more of a chill.
His Spirit Turtle Regiment was the famous defensive regiment of the Sack Kingdom and they had gone all out in the past half a year to construct their fortifications, but now it collapsed at the first blow.
If these attacks weren’t just aimed at the fortifications, but rather aimed right at the Spirit Turtle Regiment hiding behind it, the losses of the Spirit Turtle Regiment would have been very heavy.
Seeing the flames in front of them, commander Thomas gave a long sigh before saying to his personal guard beside him, “Send down the order, full retreat.”
The personal guard was stunned, “Sir, this…..”
“Stop wasting words, quickly send down the order.” Commander Thomas waved his hand.
The personal guard had a doubtful and unwilling look, but he didn’t dare keep asking. After giving a bow, he went to send down the orders.
“Ai, Thomas, it seems like we aren’t qualified to face those Frestech Chamber of Commerce fellows at all right now.” The Spirit Turtle Regiment’s chief staff officer Derank came from the side and said this with a sigh.
Commander Thomas gave a bitter laugh, “Not to mention those freaks from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, I’m afraid we can’t even face the Lampuri Kingdom head on.”
After pausing, commander Thomas suddenly cursed in a low voice.
“Damn, it’s all that damn Frestech Chamber of Commerce. They made those damn military magic machines, they are simply the devil’s tools!”
Chief staff officer Derank shook his head and gave a sigh, “Alright, there’s no use talking about this. We should think about what to do. If we don’t have a way to solve this, our Sack Kingdom will be in danger in the future.”
Commander Thomsa cursed again before knitting his brows, “It really is strange speaking of this. We have deployed our troops here for so long and the Moon Shadow Tribe elves never made a move, so why did they suddenly make such a big move? What’s stranger is that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce is mixed in, they even sent out their guards?”
“You can go ask the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.” Chief staff officer Derank rolled his eyes, “The Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Xu is a maniac, who knows what he is thinking.”
“Damn, it’s all because of the appearance of that maniac that our Sack Kingdom can’t have any peace. Could it be that we really have no way of taking care of him?”
“Stop dreaming.” Chief staff officer Derank shook his head, “First not to mention that that maniac is a Great Magician who isn’t easy to deal with, even if there was a chance to deal with him, those important people in the kingdom wouldn’t agree.”
“I really don’t know what those people are thinking. Could it be that they really think we can get any benefits from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce?”
Looking at commander Thomas who hid nothing on his face, chief staff officer Derank gave a nod in his heart.
That’s right, it wasn’t just those people, even the entire Sack Kingdom had benefited from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
And this benefit wasn’t small.
Although the Sack Kingdom army hated the Frestech Chamber of Commerce because the appearance of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had made their advantage against the Lampuri Kingdom disappear, even making them be suppressed by the Lampuri Kingdom at will, the powers outside the Sack Kingdom army mostly approved of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
The reason was very simple, it was because the appearance of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had brought many good changes to the Sack Kingdom.
The most simple example was three years ago when the Sack Kingdom bought a large number of agricultural magic machines from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. Then after reforming the farmland and farming with the agricultural magic machines, the Sack Kingdom’s grain yield had set a new record every year.
Based on the data from the harvest this spring, the Sack Kingdom’s harvest had reached a shocking three million tons!
With the other grains, just the grain production of this spring was enough to match the past harvest of the entire year.
With the fall harvest that was coming, based on the reports that were coming in, there was only more and not less grain being harvested compared to spring.
As the matter stood, the Sack Kingdom’s grain harvest this year in terms of wheat would be over six million tons. It was enough to feed all the citizens and even store some for later.
For the dry and arid Sack Kingdom that always had an issue with grain production was simply a miracle.
The Sack Kingdom kept sending troops to the Lampuri Kingdom and the other countries to solve their domestic food crisis.
Otherwise, with the national strength of the Sack Kingdom that wasn’t that much higher than the surrounding countries, there was no reason to create wars all the time.
The Lampuri Kingdom’s strength had surged and the Sack Kingdom had been defeated, which created a panic in the Sack Kingdom. They were worried that the Sack Kingdom wouldn’t be able to pillage enough grains from other countries and there would be a famine.
