Chapter 206 The Battle of Apushi (1)
"You are the nemesis?"
At the forefront of the army in Luoyue Town, Earl Philip restrained the horse under his crotch and looked up at Su Yu at the head of the city.
At the same time, he waved his hand to the rear, signaling the army to stop temporarily.
received the instructions of the supreme commander, the army behind him stopped advancing, and adjusted the formation under the command of non-commissioned officers at all levels, ready to attack the city.
Su Yu jumped off the 8-meter-high city wall, used the [Blink] technique to land, and walked slowly towards Earl Philip: "Yes, I am the nemesis. I don't know what the conditions of Lord Earl are?"
"Bane, let me ask you." Earl Philip raised his whip and pointed at Su Yu proudly: "I heard that you are going to develop a deep-water port on the seaside in the northeast corner of Apsi Territory, is that true?"
"There is such a thing, and the deep water port is already under development, is there any problem?"
A coastal city must have a high-quality deep-water port in order to carry out maritime trade.
And in the next expansion, Oran City and the Demacia State of the Wind Chime Empire will open up a "Golden Route", which is a perfect investment outlet. So Su Yu has already started planning the layout in advance.
"Since you admit it, then my conditions are here." Count Philip stared at him with a smile:
"My condition is: your territory will stop developing deep-water ports. At the same time, you must sign a magic contract with me, and your territory will never be involved in maritime trade. As long as you sign a contract, I will retire immediately!"
"Humph, why?" Su Yu laughed angrily.
The reason why he chose the seaside is to make more money by taking advantage of the sea trade. Now actually want him to never set foot in the sea trade? Isn't this a dream?
"With the strong army behind me and the livelihood of the 8,000 dock workers in Luoyue Town!" Count Philip said righteously:
"More than 90% of the maritime trade in Oran City passes through our Luoyue Town, which is also the food and clothing of the tens of thousands of residents in our Luoyue Town.
Now if you develop a new port by the sea, it will surely grab our share of sea trade. By then, how many dock workers will lose their jobs? How many residents will go hungry, live on the streets, and lose their homes? Have you thought about this question? "
Listening to Earl Philip's righteous words, the soldiers behind him immediately looked at him with admiration.
In the past, the soldiers had a bad impression of the Earl, and everyone was oppressed by the Earl.
But now, the earl is actually thinking about the livelihood of thousands of dockworkers, which makes the soldiers feel warm in their hearts.
The soldiers discussed in a low voice with the soldiers who were familiar with them:
"The Earl is right. My third uncle is a dock worker. There are three children in the family. If he loses his job, what will the family do?"
"Our Luoyue Town became rich only because of its reliance on shipping, how can we let others get a share of the pie?"
"Yes! For the sake of Luoyue Town, we must not allow other ports to grow and develop!"
"For Falling Moon Town!"
The soldiers shouted slogans, and the morale of the army rose steadily.
…
And Count Philip's performance didn't end. He looked at Tina who was suspended in midair and said coldly:
"Tina Garcia, your unicorn knights have no right to participate in the battle between the lords! I advise you to leave now, or I will sue you to the Supreme Court of Oran for what you have done!"
"Are you teaching me to do things?" Tina drew her sword in anger.
She learned this sentence from the nemesis, and it feels very appropriate to use it now.
But at this time, a faint voice suddenly came from the city wall of Apushi City: "I am Francis, the commander. Lord Tina, we are indeed not qualified to participate in the battle between the lords.
Sorry, Your Excellency, the nemesis, I and the more than 300 guards behind me will not be involved in this battle. "
Francis waved his hand after finishing speaking, and more than 300 elite soldiers jumped down from the inner wall of the city wall, and a large blank appeared on the city wall of Apsi City.
Seeing this scene, the morale of the Luoyue Town army outside the city soared! Many soldiers were eager to move, eager to rush directly to occupy the city.
The aggressiveness of Earl Philip, the mighty soldiers of the Falling Moon Town army, the valiant heroism of Tina in mid-air, and the revolt of Captain Francis.
The pictures of this scene are transmitted to the major offline live broadcast platforms through the cameras of the anchors on the city wall.
Currently, the most popular live broadcast rooms on major offline platforms are all about the live broadcast of this defense battle.
And this is the last and most difficult wave of defending the city, and the popularity is particularly high.
The barrages in the major live broadcast rooms are densely packed, and everyone expresses their opinions on the barrage:
"No wonder the lords of Luoyue Town came to attack. It turned out that Mr. Ke moved their cake."
"Don't say it, this Earl of Razor is quite good at inspiring people, and now his troops are very morale."
"Commander Francis suddenly turned against the water, and Mr. Ke is in danger!"
"Come on, Mr. Ke! Don't fall short."
"Come on, Mr. Gram!"
Su Yu of course knows that the entire network is now paying attention to this city defense battle.
Su Yu was not surprised by Captain Francis' sudden reversal.
After all, Francis was the guard of the city lord's mansion, and Su Yu had offended the city lord Claude severely. If you don't jump out and do something at this critical moment, it will be hell!
But out of courtesy, Su Yu still shouted in the direction of Francis: "Your Excellency Francis, I don't mind if you don't participate in this battle. Thank you for helping me defend against the previous attacks by bandits."
Then Su Yu turned to look at Earl Philip: "As for this Lord Earl. As far as I know, the dockers in Luoyue Town are living in very hardships. Not only do they need to work long hours, but their pay is also very meager.
You usually squeezed them to make a lot of money, why are you thinking of speaking for them now?
If you really care about the unemployment of these dockers, so be it! You let these dockers come to my territory, and each family gives 50,000 psionics to settle in. At the same time, I also promise to provide them with jobs, and each of them will get at least 1.5 times the salary of Luoyue Town! Are you always satisfied with this? "
As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, there were bursts of exclamations from the army in Luoyue Town.
The morale that the soldiers had just built up immediately dissipated a lot, and they hurriedly discussed with the acquaintances around them.
"50,000 psionic coins? I'm not mistaken, right?"
"Dock workers earn almost 400-600 psionic coins a month, and 50,000 psionic coins top their income for seven or eight years!"
"It's too much to settle in! I suddenly regret not being a dock worker."
"Could this nemesis Lord just say something to fool us?"
Su Yu heard these soldiers' doubts, and immediately said loudly: "I can use my status as the 'Queen's Special Envoy' to guarantee that the promise I made is not false!"
After saying that, he took out the golden token that the princess gave him and held it up high, showing it to all the soldiers of Luoyue Town.
