Volume 6 Chapter 125 - Declaring War (1/2)
When a piece of news came the next day, the confused Nielson and Mendiata finally realized where this favourable turn came from.
The news summarized was actually quite simple.
The Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom had declared war on Kaki Duchy to the north and in just three days, they destroyed most of the Kaki Duchy’s army and directly captured Duke Kaki and his family.
The Kaki Duchy announced their country was destroyed.
This news shook all the people in the countries of the southeast corner.
Although the Kaki Duchy was in name a duchy, the amount of power that they had wasn’t worse than a normal kingdom.
Moreover, Duke Kaki had always spent money on building his army, so the Kaki Duchy was famous among the southeast countries for having the greatest battle strength, which the other countries didn’t dare provoke.
However, the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom had declared war on the Kaki Duchy and had used only three days to destroy them, which was something that no one had expected.
It had to be known, it had only been less than three years since the appearance of the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom.
Although the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom with their thirteen companies had very strong economic power, making the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom look very rich.
Everyone thought that having money and being powerful were two different things.
Even if the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom had money, as well as the guards of the thirteen companies from before, it was still far from being able to compare to a kingdom’s army.
But this time the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom only sent five thousand people from the guards of five companies to easily defeat the Kaki Duchy, even directly taking care of the Kaki Duchy.
This kind of result shocked everyone in the southeast countries.
The ones that were most shocked and terrified by this were naturally the neighbouring countries of the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom.
The Aodor Duchy was one of those countries.
“Duke Aodor also wants to buy military magic machines from our company?” Nielsen leaned back in the chair and looked at Viscount Wilbur in front of him with a bit of teasing to the smile on his face.
This fellow was that arrogant in front of him two days ago, but now he was acting this submissive, even pasting his face on the table. It really made one emotional looking at him.
“Right, right, right, the duke heard that your company made military magic machines and cares about them very much. The duke feels that these military magic machines are very important to our Aodor Duchy, so he hoped to buy some from your noble company. Manager Nielson, please contact your company’s headquarters immediately. It would be best if they could bring the military magic machines we need on the next shipment.”
Seeing that Nielson was hesitating, Viscount Wilbur gritted his teeth, but he still continued with a smile, “Of course, the duke has said that as long as your company is willing to provide the military magic machines, we can discuss the price…..”
Nielson looked at Viscount Wilbur’s submissive appearance and he couldn’t help wanting to tease him. He revealed an awkward look and said with knitted brows, “But…..Lord Viscount, you should also know that even if our company’s transport fleet comes, it has to first anchor in the southern harbour of the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom. We won’t be able to hide this cargo from the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom side.”
Viscount Wilbur’s expression changed and after thinking about it, he came a bit closer to Nielson and said in a low voice, “Manager Nielson, I am clear that your company is cooperating with the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom. As long as your company is willing, it won’t be found by the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom, don’t you think?”
Nielson gave a laugh, “Lord Viscount, it isn’t impossible to do this, but the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom is one of our company’s most important partners. What reason do we have to hide this matter from an important business partner?”
Viscount Wilbur immediately fell silent.
He knew that even if the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom didn’t destroy the Kaki Duchy and increase their fame in the surrounding countries, even if this was before, their Aodor Duchy couldn’t compare to the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom.
If they had to make a choice, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would choose the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom over their Aodor Duchy.
“Of course……” Nielson spoke again and drew out his words, “If the duke can show enough sincerity, we can still consider it……”
Viscount Wilbur’s eyes lit up. After thinking about it, he said with a strong nod, “Alright! Manager Nielson, I think that the duke will definitely want to personally discuss this with you. I wonder if you have time right now?”
“Of course, how could I not?” Nielson said with a smile, “If the duke calls me, I would have time no matter when it was.”
Viscount Wilbur was filled with joy.
“Great! Manager Nielson, please come with me right now to see the duke. When the duke learns that you are visiting him, he will definitely be happy!”
Nielson laughed in his heart.
Since he arrived in the Aodor Duchy, he had asked to see Duke Aodor many times, but he was always rejected. He kept sending Viscount Wilbur, who wasn’t considered that important in the Aodor Duchy to meet with him.
Now that the Aodor Duchy felt this danger, Duke Aodor lowered his status and came to request a meeting with him.
