Chapter 18 Transactions

"A very simple logic, the nobles of Sylvania were worried about the security of the northern territory, so they refused to declare war on the dwarf kingdom and refused to alliance with your country. Therefore, they should strengthen the defense of the northern territory. But by ourselves alone, they do not have enough strength to carry out too much engineering in the mountainous areas. So,

So we expect our quasi-alliance, the great empire of Chaos Dwarves, to reach out to us. We hope to obtain the technology, machinery, and engineers who design strong fortresses. We need these things to consolidate our defenses. When we confirm that the entire northern territory is held by strong fortresses and the enriched army of the undead, we can declare war on the dwarves without hesitation."

After hearing what Valed said, the other party thought that it seemed that this was the case.

"If this help can work for our alliance... I think His Majesty the Emperor will generously agree to your request." The Chaos Dwarf replied.

"Of course, this is obvious." The smile on the corner of Valed's mouth increased a little: "Besides, having a complete mountain defense system will also be very helpful for the war between us and the dwarves. We can use defensive counterattacks to consume the opponent's troops, physical strength and morale first, and then launch an attack on the enemy in one fell swoop. Thus, we will win."

"What you said makes sense. I will pass on your request to the emperor's writing." The black fire warlock replied.

"Of course, this is also for the common interests of both of us." Vared nodded. Then he made other requests to the person, that is, to support the establishment of an engineering academy, teach technology and transfer machinery, and to send vampire cadets to study these in the Chaos Dwarf Empire.

After this, Vared temporarily thought of another request, which was to apply to the Chaos Dwarfs for a group of officers familiar with mountain combat to help Silvania enhance its ability to fight in the mountains. [*you]

What Vared expected was that his requests were all small things in the other party's mouth. It sounded easy to solve. Vared felt that the other party might have misunderstood. He thought that he had built a defense system, taught mechanical engineering and other knowledge, and trained vampire officers to fight in the mountains. These were all preparations for the war in the Dwarf Kingdom. The other party said so. He really wanted to form an alliance with them, and he really wanted to start a war against the Dwarf Kingdom.

"So, do you really want to do this?"

More than ten days later, Vared turned to the Nirakochi family territory. In Templehoff, this castle that looked a little desolate, had a sloppy decoration and always felt that it was not clean, I met the Earl of Nirakochi Codmus. This guy wearing glasses, a white coat for research and was scattered in hair.

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Valed's presumptuous visit, he interrupted his experiment. However, after Valed apologized, he soon forgives him. In this way, it seems that this guy from Valed's brother-in-law is actually a good person.

No, it should be said that Codomes von Nirakochi is a good person. Like ordinary Sylvanian vampires, he is a guy with a very good personality. If you insist on saying that there are any shortcomings, it is because he is a bit sloppy because he is addicted to magic research and is also not good at socializing. However, this seems to be a common problem for all members of the Nirakochi family.

After that, Vared talked to him about his experiences these days, the appearance of the Chaos Dwarfs, and focused on their armored trains.

"Hey? There is something like that in this world?! Using the energy provided by the power machinery, wrapped in iron armor, and running fast... I have never heard of it before..."

As Vared imagined, Kodemus quickly became interested and begged Vared to say everything he saw. So Vared soon found pencils and paper, and drew a sketch of the armored train he had seen before. He explained it to Kodemus according to the sketch, which greatly satisfied the curiosity of the Count Nirakochi.

"But, although you have already said it well. But in the end, I still want to see it with my own eyes...the kind of train that is like a huge snake, wrapped in iron armor and carrying countless deadly weapons... You said, how could those Chaos Dwarves create such a thing?"

Although Coudems just asked casually, Valed still answered his question:

"I think that, in general, the dwarves' technical capabilities are the best in the world. The steam-powered machinery we stole before and now is the best proof.

And when these best engineers, they abandon all the ethics and human constraints in the world, become extremely crazy, and through servitude of other races, they have gained more labor, and even gained knowledge and help from demons... what they can create will definitely be the terrifying creation that the world unexpectedly expects."

After hearing Vared's words, Coudems slapped his thigh happily and said:

"Yes! That's the reason!

Magicians, engineers or scholars in ordinary life should be different from those in experiments. The constraints that are usually maintained must be liberated during experiments. With pure academic and pure knowledge understanding, these magic, mechanical or biological exploration and innovation are completed.

The so-called progress is sublimated by such madness and abandoning everything. We can live our life like this. We sit on the sofa, drink black tea or coffee. We use ceramic utensils to cool down when the weather is hot, and we can keep warm when the weather is cold. All of these are because of this "crazy".

Perhaps what scholars invented was a crazy and unreasonable thing hundreds of years ago. But now, it may be an indispensable part of our daily life!”

Although it seems to be very powerful, over the past few hundred years, your Nirakochi family has only produced some solar flashlights, shoes-like hair dryers, or something like killing you 3,000, or something that is useless or even more incorrect.

Vared secretly in his heart. However, on the surface, he still looked very considerate. After all, if you want to do something, you can't avoid the name of Sylvania. If you want to use Sylvania as a whole, you must obtain the support of the other three counts... Just like before, Vared once said half tentatively when communicating with the messenger of the Chaos Dwarf:

The Castein family, nearly a thousand vampire officers, and an army of 300,000 undead... But the other party seemed to have not heard it. It was when Vared said the second sentence and tried to convince other families that he seemed happy.

In other words... Castein alone cannot be compared with other powerful countries in the old world... Indeed, Lamiya, who is political and scheming, Nirakochi, who is skilled and magic, Abe Hracin, who is martial and military, and Castein who ruled these three. Only when the entire Silvania and the entire vampire world are integrated into one whole can it be compared with other powerful countries in the old world.

"In other words... Duke of Sylvania..." Vared quickly grasped the key points of this matter. If he, who is excellent as a person like himself, becomes the Duke of Sylvania, then it should be a good thing for this country and all vampires? In the future, when he is carrying out these things that are beneficial to Sylvania, he does not need to go around to discuss with the other three earls. Instead, he can decide for himself. This will also improve efficiency a lot.

Speaking of this issue of efficiency... The previous reform of the Earl Castein, more than a month has passed, and administrative efficiency has indeed improved a lot - of course, here specifically refers to two newly formed counties of the Prince of the Border and reorganized the government system. The old county of Castein Dekenhof still maintained the old administrative system.

However, since this system has been proven to be effective, it can be implemented in Dekenhof County next.

However, there is still a problem here. That is, the number of vampire officials needed in the two southern counties and ten towns was enough. However, the deputy, staff and civil servants of those officials were not enough. Vared once calculated that if the administrative system was to be maintained normally, the government staff would be needed to be 2,000 to 3,000. This is even more than the total number of vampire nobles in Kastein. It is simply impossible to do.

"Forget it, let's not mention this point for now." In a moment of thought, Valed, who had been drifting to somewhere, was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and started a conversation with his veritable brother-in-law Coudomes again.

"Although the Chaos Dwarf should be stronger in terms of technological strength. But for us now, whether it is a dwarf or a Chaos Dwarf, its industrial strength is beyond our reach."

"This may be correct. After all, our research work in Sylvania is still inclined toward magic. It's just that for magic, the world has been developed and perfected for so many years since the birth of civilization. So..." Speaking of this, Kodemus smiled slightly bitterly: "So we have not achieved any decent results over the years... Also, did you mention the dwarf again?"

"Yes, dwarf... Although we cannot obtain the industrial power of Chaos Dwarf for the time being. However, this time I also brought a dwarf's latest power machine. Do you want to take a look?" (Welcome to your support, which is my greatest motivation.) rv
