Lord of Flames - Chapter 368
Chapter 368: A co-optation! A special race!
“Shit, you want to attack us with such a small number of people? I’m afraid you don’t know how strong our air force is.” Another person said.
“Are these people crazy? They’re flying so recklessly, and nothing is chasing them?” One man said in disbelief.
“I don’t know. I think they must have gone crazy.”
In the sky, the flying ships and magical beasts that were thought to be brain-infused were still frantically rushing towards the borders of the Flame Empire.
In a moment, a person would take the lead but immediately, another person caught up and because a flying ship flew too fast for a long time, the magic patterns on the sails were too heavy, and it caught fire.
“Hahahaha, I’ll let you go all out. Now that it’s done, even the flying ship is half-crippled. This is great!”
Those who did not win laughed.
On the flying ship, that noble descendant was furious!
However, no matter how angry he was, it was useless. He had to extinguish the fire quickly.
As long as a small portion of the sails could be saved, they could still fly back slowly. If they were completely destroyed, they could only find someone else to pull them.
Fortunately, the ship was fine.
A flying ship, the magic patterns on its hull allowed it to float in the air, but the speed of this flying ship depended on the sails.
This flight competition lasted for more than an hour.
Finally, a flying ship left the other flying ships and flying beasts far behind.
In the middle of his vision, a city appeared.
That city was a city built by the Flame Empire at the border, specifically for trading!
“Hahaha, I won, I won, this time I will make a big profit!”
The descendant of the noble laughed but before he could finish laughing, he saw a large number of flying ships suddenly appear in the sky from the white clouds.
There were quite a number of these flying ships. There were more than a dozen of them, each carrying a large number of crossbows!
Apart from that, there were also a large number of winged warriors who descended from the sky with sharp arrows in their hands.
“Stop, this is the air force of the Flame Empire!”
A winged warrior said.
The noble’s descendant was so scared that he quickly slowed down and stopped.
“Brother, I’m Duke Walker’s second son. I’m here to buy silk and porcelain. This is allowed by your Queen!” The noble descendant hurriedly said.
It wasn’t easy for him to get first place, so he didn’t want to be destroyed because of some misunderstanding.
“Go in, your range of activity cannot exceed that city.” The winged man said.
“Okay!”
The descendants of the nobles landed on the flying ship.
That city hadn’t been completed. It only had one wall built. This wall was on the side of the Eternal Night Empire.
However, there were already a large number of buildings and stalls in the city.
In this city, the official supply was from the Flame Empire.
Then, they all used magic carts to transport them here.
As for the nobles of the Flame Empire, in addition to the production of their territory, they would also spend money to buy large amounts of goods from the people.
Right now, the goods were in high demand, and the supply was short, so the purchase price was not low.
This would improve the economy of the commoners of the Flame Empire.
Meanwhile, the Flame Empire directly supplied the official goods produced by Yan Province to the nobles of the Eternal Night Empire. They could prevent these goods from appearing in the market of the Flame Empire, thus affecting the prices of goods supplied by the public.
Meng Ying considered everything
Hiding wealth from the people was the key to the prosperity of a kingdom!
As for many things, they were cleverly controlled by economic means, and the results would be quite good, allowing the Flame Empire to prosper even more.
There were many empty spaces in the city. After the noble descended, he immediately sent people to start purchasing.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry, grab all the goods.”
The noble’s descendant was holding a large magic bag. It was filled with gold coins!
Immediately, the second airship landed. The nobles on top also rushed down.
They quickly realized that a single person couldn’t eat these goods.
Because this city was too large, it would not be able to escape in a short period. Moreover, the supply from the Flame Empire was not small.
“Take the silk first.”
Even more, flying ships descended.
A hundred thousand gold coins worth of silk had attracted the attention of the nobles.
“Hahahaha, I got a hundred feet of silk, the harvest is too great.”
“I got it too. Quick, let’s grab something else.”
The silk was the first to be robbed.
Following that was porcelain, it was quickly taken away.
Then, it was wine.
“Give me a thousand barrels. I need a hundred coolies. Who will do it?”
A noble descendant shouted.
Yes, the Flame Empire had prepared many coolies here.
These coolies were all recruited by the people.
How much could they earn? The Flame Empire would not collect taxes from them.
In order to snatch more goods, the descendants of the nobles all offered high prices, making these coolies earn a lot of money.
Therefore, along with the booming trade in this city, it even supported tens of thousands of coolies!
Although these coolies earned a lot of gold coins!
In less than an hour, all the wine was snatched away.
One must know that the Flame Empire had prepared over a hundred thousand barrels of wine this time.
Some of the noble descendants who were filled with flying ships and magic bags began to return.
However, the descendants of other nobles were worried.
“I didn’t get the silk, I didn’t get the porcelain, and I only got a few dozen barrels of wine. How am I supposed to go back and pay it off? It doesn’t matter; there are still so many good things in the Flame Empire. Just fill up the flying ship.”
A noble’s descendant snatched sorghum wine, tea, fruit wine, sugar, and so on.
Soon, the descendants of the nobles realized that these things were of good quality!
The descendants of the nobles who hadn’t been able to reap the rewards immediately snatched all these things!
Only three hours had passed and the large number of goods prepared by the Flame Empire was all snatched away.
A large number of coolies smiled and counted the gains today.
Meanwhile, the nobles who were rushing over were worried.
“Wait; let’s see how long it will take for the Flame Empire to replenish its supplies.” Some noble descendants thought.
