Chapter 47
Although Shangjiang City has great economic strength and military strength, its territory is really too small. The explosive development of Shuntong Chamber of Commerce easily reached a bottleneck, surrounded by barriers between city-states, and business behavior has to be restricted by various taxes and checkpoints.
If it is a normal business development, although there are many restrictions on the outside world, Shuntong Chamber of Commerce can still slowly expand profits when operating and trade normally.
However, Daliang is not satisfied with the speed at which Shuntong Trading will be limited.
Plane wars have begun to be brewing, and the early competition between major forces is about to detonate a war in the Dead Kingdom.
City of Sighs and City of Purgatory Furnace are all accumulating funds and strength for future wars.
Daliang is also considering that he will reserve his family’s assets to deal with the future chaos.
As Daliang's loyal ally and economic pillar, Marquis Stanley and his Shuntong Chamber of Commerce are naturally stronger, the better.
Now, the sorrowful monarch can be persuaded to provide mercenaries to the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, which can carry out violent economic invasions.
The army of undead pioneered the way, and Shuntong Chamber of Commerce can plunder at low prices and then dump it everywhere, destroying the economic order of other cities and accumulating its own wealth.
This cooperation is a win-win situation for the sad monarch and Shuntong Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, the sad monarch had no thoughts about the scale of the first mercenary mentioned by Daliang, and said cheerfully: "This kind of army can be summoned soon, with 100 bone dragons, not a single one, and a 10% number of ghost dragons are added.
In addition, I will let the Church of the Uncle to draw priests and church knights into mercenaries. Under the blessing of the God of Death, you will find that the army of undead I have given you extraordinary attack power."
The sad monarch worked hard to promote his army, and Daliang, as a pope, also knew that the priests and the church knights did have the attributes of giving additional bonuses to the combat power of the undead.
Anyway, the scale of mercenaries in the future was far more than these, so Daliang readily agreed to hire the additional army of the sad monarch.
So the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, which was originally a very good reputation, walked from this moment on a notorious road and went further and further.
The employment of the first army was negotiated. In the future, the scale and type of mercenary troops would need to be set up specifically for the people from Shangjiangcheng to calculate.
In addition, for the command of this mercenary, Daliang also planned to delegate it to the Army Department in Shangjiang City.
Although Shangjiang City is at a low point due to power disputes, the old team that made a name for the old Donghaiwang was built. Now the interior of Shangjiang City has become stable under the control of Daliang, and all departments are operating normally.
Among them, the one who manages the army is Archangel Barthreit.
As Howard's right-hand man, Archangel Bartlett is an outstanding commander with a very upright character. Having him to command this undead mercenary is far more reassuring than Marquis Stanley.
If Marquis Stanley is asked to command the army, he usually first considers how much it will cost to die a skeleton soldier...
In short, Shuntong Chamber of Commerce has 10% of the shares of the Pudong Fleet, the Shangjiang Royal Family has 10% of the shares, and the Shangjiang Finance Finance has 10% of the shares.
With so much money, Shangjiangcheng will definitely strongly support the comprehensive expansion of Shuntong Chamber of Commerce.
A happy business negotiation ended in a happy atmosphere.
The Dead did not hold a celebration banquet. After the church ceremony in the Mist District, Marquis Stanley returned to Shangjiang with a cooperation agreement sent by the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce to send mercenaries to the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, preparing to welcome the arrival of the Dead Mercenaries and formulate a commercial expansion plan.
Marquis Stanley leaves.
The sad monarch and Daliang were left in the room.
Seeing the sad monarch sitting there looking as stable as Mount Tai, Daliang knew that he was going to show off with him.
"Pope, I can see the trust of Marquis Stanley in you, and I am glad that I have obtained a talented person like you. You have not only changed the fog area, but also changed the City of Sighs. I believe that you may also change the entire Kingdom of Death in the future."
Daliang said modestly: "Monarch, I am just doing what a Pope in the Mist District should do. It is my duty to make the Mist District prosperous, and it is my duty to share the worries of the monarch. It is too ridiculous to say that I can change the entire Kingdom of Death."
The sad monarch laughed and said, "No, in my opinion, you do have the ability to change the Kingdom of Death.
The ultimate faith you insist on will bring about earth-shaking changes in the Kingdom of Death.”
Ultimate faith!
Daliang immediately pretended to be shocked: "You! How could you... know the ultimate faith! I have never told anyone else... No, I told the powerful skeleton mage a few days ago. Could that skeleton mage be the subordinate of the monarch?
Please forgive my fault. I have just started to learn the teachings of the impure, and I will inevitably have some other thoughts.
But I don’t have any idea of blaspheming the God of Death, I have always had a strong desire to see the God of Death with my own eyes...
If there are thoughts that violate the doctrine of the pure, please do not blame the monarch. I will definitely eliminate the dangerous heart disorders in my heart.
Be a devout believer.”
The sad monarch was very satisfied with Daliang's performance. He nodded and said, "Who is that skeleton mage? You will definitely know in the future.
But I am very interested in what you are talking about the ultimate belief.
The undead really likes to stick to the rules. The doctrine of the Undead has existed since the undead appeared in this plane. However, over the years, a group of undead have considered themselves the most devout believers of the God of Death, but their faith remains on the most superficial surface.
There is no undead who wants to truly stand by the God of Death to serve him and believe in him. The ridiculous thing is that the one who sublimates this belief to a whole new level is not a undead who has studied the doctrine of impure for countless years, and a human race that has a lifespan of only a few decades.
When I heard of the ultimate faith, I felt that I was a completely false believer of the god of death before, and at the same time, I was also glad that I was the first undead to accept the ultimate faith. That feeling was more joyful than earning tens of millions of gold coins a week."
Daliang said excitedly at this moment: "When I came up with this idea, I thought I had become an exiled person abandoned by the God of Death, and I never dared to tell anyone. If I hadn't thought I was going to die at that time, I wouldn't have said this to the skeleton mage.
I didn’t expect that the monarch would recognize my ultimate belief! This was the most exciting moment in my life.
But the ultimate belief that I have developed is still very thin, but I believe it will be carried forward in the hands of the monarch.”
The sad monarch stood up and walked to Daliang. The solid soul fire in his eyes actually trembled: "Yes, the ultimate faith is the true faith in the god of death. As a monarch of the Immortal Church, I have the obligation to let this faith spread throughout the Kingdom of Death.
However, the ultimate faith will definitely be rejected by the conservative undead, and its spread will inevitably attract various slander and attacks.
But my heart remains unchanged...
Are you... willing to help me?
Recompile the doctrine of the purest faith and establish the Holy See of the Church.”
