The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 310's

The largest magicite mine in the history of the Yulan continent was actually discovered by the newly established Kingdom of Baruch for twelve years.

“The Anarchist League has been a region of constant warfare and fighting. In thousands of years, not a single power has had a chance to carry out excavations and mining. I did not expect that in this area that I put together, we would soon find a mine of that size. "Linley could not help but sigh in amazement.

But at the same time, Linley felt somewhat curious.

Magicite deposits are formed from a large amount of elemental essence that is slowly compressed until it takes the form of a solid gemstone. To create such a huge magicite mine would require a huge amount of natural elemental essence. Why are there so many natural elemental essences here?

But when Linley had scanned the area with his spiritual energy, he had yet to discover anything unique about the land below.

"Not good . "Wharton's face changed.

"What's that?" Linley looked at Wharton in surprise, and Bebe did the same as well. “Wharton is small, we just found a big magic mine. Why do you say, 'not good'? "

Wharton shook his head. In a serious voice, he said, "Brother, you said this magic mine is worth hundreds of billions of gold coins. Aside from the financial aspect, the most important aspect of magicite mines is .. They can be used in warfare. You should know this, right? "

Linley nodded.

"You're talking about magicite cannons?" Ask Linley.

Magicite cannons were created from a kind of alchemy and metalworking. They allowed the use of magic on a wide scale without the need for a top-tier Arch Magi. In the past, the Holy Capital of Fenlai City had magicite cannons, but unfortunately, on Doomsday, even Saint-level ferocious beasts had descended, as well as a large number of flying beasts … this made it so that there was no time for the magicite cannons to start firing.

In fact, magicite cannons were a very effective type of attack in warfare.

For example, some high-quality magicite cannons can consume a large number of magicite gems and, with each explosion, release power equivalent to spells of the seventh or eighth rank, easily killing hundreds of people. On the battlefield, if one could use ten large magicite cannons and unleash several explosions …

The enemy army could be instantly reduced by ten thousand soldiers. This will have a huge impact on the outcome of the battle.

But magicite cannons are bottomless holes, money suckers. The amount of magicite gems they consumed was truly terrifying. In the past, when the Kingdom of Baruch unified this area, the enemy did not use magicite cannons, because such a poor area was incapable of using them.

With each blast from the magicite cannon, the magicite gems would be consumed. And these things are worth more than gold!

“A small number of magicite gems can be purchased with gold. "Wharton's face is serious. "But a large number will be limited and overseen by the Kingdom. They would not allow outsiders to buy them. Even though some people were involved in smuggling, how big was the number? ”

Linley nodded. How could a country allow an enemy country to buy military equipment from them on a large scale?

Wharton said seriously, “It's easy to buy magicite cannons, and our truth, given the power of our kingdom, if we spend some money, we can make our own. With magicite mines combined with magicite cannons ..our military power will become truly amazing. ”

After all, there are still a few magi. The testing procedures Linley had passed in the past were proof for that.

After becoming a magus, to reach the seventh rank or even higher? That's even less likely. On the continent, only the great Empire, the Holy Union, and the Dark Alliance were capable of forming an entire army of magi.

Baruch Linley Kingdom did not have the ability to organize this kind of corps either.

But magicite cannons ... the ten great magicite cannons, if one had enough magicite gems, would not be inferior to the magi corps.

"Boy brother . "Wharton looked at Linley. “You should know that in that continent, the four Empires and other empires, in their struggle, will not use Saints unless it becomes a life or death war. If Saints were not involved .. then magicite cannons would have the ability to change the direction of battle. If the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows discover that we now have the largest magicite quarry in the entire Yulan continent, then … "

Linley's expression turned grim as well.

His long spent training had caused him to forget about worldly battles.

"You are right . Once the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows know, they might even join forces to attack our Kingdom. "Linley felt the threat as well now. In the past, they had agreed that in a normal battle, Saints were not allowed to engage.

Later then…

How could the Kingdom of Baruch, with a population of only a hundred million, possibly defeat the combined forces of the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows, who controlled a much larger population?

Both sides dominated the greater territory of Linley as well, and they were richer regions with higher populations. The total population controlled by the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows was clearly in the range of four to five hundred million.

"Sister, what should we do?" Wharton looked at Linley.

Linley's eyes shone with a cold light. "No need to rethink. Right now, we need to find a way to purchase magicite cannons. I'll ask the Dawson Conglomerate for help! And then, we need, with full confidence, to start mining. If the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows really come, then we will rely on magicite cannons to support our smaller army. ”

“Alright, sister. "Wharton's eyes also lit up.

Linley had already made the decision that no matter what, they could not hide or tremble in fear.

Soon, a large number of people were sent to this area to start mining magicite. At the same time, a large number of soldiers remained on guard here. When mining, miners are not allowed to engage in outside activities. Of course, their salaries were also very high.

For outsiders, all they announce is finding a fairly valuable mineral deposit.

The Baruch Kingdom code of silence is quite effective. A whole month passed without this information leaking. However, the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows had several spies planted in Baruch Kingdom. Sometimes, some news will be leaked. In the end, the Radiant Church discovered the truth of the news from the family members of the miners.

Inside the graceful noble house.

“The largest magicite mine in the Yulan continent? At least ten kilometers? ”A silver-haired young man was reading a letter in his hand. His expression immediately changed, and the more he read, the more serious his face became.

This silver-haired youth seemed to be quite young, but in reality, even Heidens and Osenno were not even older than him.

This was because ..he was a Saint-level Angel of the Radiant Church. Three thousand years ago, he descended to the Yulan continent. Although his strength as an Angel did not increase, and his potential could not be compared to that of a human, the long time he spent here resulted in his intelligence and wisdom being as high as that of a human.

Arfan [A'fang], the Four-winged Angel, the current leader of the Radiant Church forces in the Anarchist Land.

"Good news . "Arfan's face showed a slight smile, then he immediately instructed the person who had delivered the message," Immediately left and leaked this news to the Cult of Shadows. See what their response is. ”

"Yes, sir. "The middle-aged man said respectfully.

Arfan nodded a little.

“Send this news to the Holy Island immediately. Let the Holy Island give us orders on what we should do next! ”Arfan ordered. He knew ... the decision on an important issue in the Anarchist Land must come from the Holy Island.

Immediately…

The orders from the Holy Island arrived.

Arfan read the letter. Exactly as he predicted.

"Join the Cult of Shadows and attack the Kingdom of Baruch. We should get at least a third of the magicite's proceeds. That's our point. “The rule is very simple. After all, many things do not have to be said openly. As a manager for this area, Arfan is certainly not stupid. For example, he would do his best to let the Cult of Shadows expend more energy and strength.

Arfan smiles. He thought to himself, “It seems that it is time to avenge the Cult of Shadows. ”

Just a moment ago, when he sent someone to leak this news to the Cult of Shadows, the Cult of Shadows had responded very quickly … they immediately invited Arfan to go and discuss the matter. Arfan did not answer them immediately, instead asking them to wait. And now, he had orders from the Holy Island.

Everything can start now.

A small, ordinary town. The ordinary small page. Saint-level Winged Angel, Arfan, and the Senior Judge of the Cult of Shadows, O'Casey. They sat down, drinking wine.

"Not bad . The taste and texture are so beautiful. It should be from the Blueflow Winery Yulan Empire, right? ”O'Casey laughing.

"Mr . O'Casey really knows the wine. “Arfan laughed calmly. “Don't beat around. Today, you have invited me here, Mr. O'Casey, to discuss the matter of the Baruch Kingdom magic mine. What do you want to say, Mr. O'Casey? "

O'Casey winked at Arfan, then sipped the wine in satisfaction. "Mr . Arfan, do you mind if I bring some of this wine with me when I go? I think I .. have fallen for it. ”

Arfan frowned. He felt a little frustrated.

But since this was a negotiation, he had to endure it.

"Mr . O'Casey, could it be that you want to discuss wine with me till night? ”So seriously Arfan.

O'Casey looked at Arfan and started laughing out loud. "Mr . Arfan, I was just kidding with you. True The Cult of Shadows did have some thoughts about the magic mine of Baruch Kingdom. However ... we do not wish to engage in a war against the Kingdom of Baruch. ”

"You didn't?" Arfan looked at O'Casey carefully.

What's O'Casey planning? He didn't want to engage in a battle with Baruch Kingdom? What is the point of this meeting?

"Mr . O'Casey, what do you mean? ”Arfan's face sinks.

O'Casey smiled. "Actually, Arfan, you have to understand. All we have to do is send some people to Baruch Kingdom and say .. 'The Radiant Church is preparing to invade Baruch Kingdom, and has invited the Cults of Shadows to come with them. As long as Baruch Kingdom is willing to hand over some gems, then the Cult of Shadows is ready to stay out of the game and help both sides. If you are willing to give up a little more, we can even help you deal with the Radiant Church. '”

O'Casey looked at Arfan, who now had an ugly expression on his face. "Arfan, tell me. What would Linley and Wharton choose? "

Arfan speechless.

"The riot Linley had with the Radiant Church was not a small one. "Say O'Casey freely.

Indeed . O'Casey's words are correct. Linley's side might actually be willing to give some magicite gems to the Cult of Shadows, or perhaps even a large number to have the Cult of Shadows help them deal with the Radiant Church together.

After all, the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows were at odds with each other.

Arfan knew that right now, the situation was extremely unfavorable for them.

"Mr . O'Casey's chat. “Arfan looked at O'Casey seriously. "Do you know how much my magicite has?"

“I don't know, but it should be several times bigger than the former magicite top mine. "Say O'Casey. Very few people knew the exact size of the mine. After all, it had not been fully excavated. Only someone like Linley who could scan the area with his spiritual energy could clearly understand its size.

But how could the Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows dare to send a Saint-level expert and risk irritating Linley?

Maybe Linley will kill the Saint immediately.

After all, in their previous agreement, they had only said that Saints could not participate in the battle. But Linley was still allowed to kill other Saints.

Arfan nodded. "Since you don't know the size of the magicite mine, then even if Linley were to give your Cult of Shadows a large number of magicite gems, you wouldn't really know what percentage of the total mine was. ”

"really. "O'Casey admitted.

Linley might have simply stated the size of the mine as a shard and was worth only a few hundred billion gold coins, with the actual mine being ten times larger. After all, no one knew exactly how big it was .. It would be easy for Linley to lie to them.

"As long as we join forces against Baruch Kingdom, later, we will split the fifty-fifty magicite mine, no matter how big it is. "Arfan's Word.

"Half?" O'Casey shook his head. "Seventy thirty. We are seventy, you are thirty. ”

Arfan said coldly, “O'Casey, don't go too far. If we split it in half, we will be able to work and coordinate better in the future. "O'Casey winked at him, then laughed," Since that was the case. We don't need to risk anything, and we'll get a large number of magicite gems. ”

Arfan frowned.

"Sixty for you. Forty for us. One word: Yes, or no? ”Arfan's face is very bleak.

O'Casey looked at Arfan, then raised his wine glass. Smiling, he said, “Master. Arfan, come. Let's toast to join in! ”

Arfan's face showed a smile.

“Ceria. "He raised his wine glass as well.

The Radiant Church and the Cult of Shadows, for the sake of the great wealth in that magicite mine, had joined forces. This is proof that there is no such thing as 'eternal ally' or 'eternal enemy'; only eternal and eternal interest. And these interests can sometimes be money, sometimes power, and sometimes affection.
