Jeremy, the warehouse manager of the Yugoslav capital guard brigade, was sweating profusely, and two warehouses were running around.
Ten wagons unloaded two warehouses full of materials, which finally made the materials warehouse of the Yugoslav capital guard brigade look better. Captain Hans didn’t show up from last night to noon today, which made Jeremy feel a little uneasy.
Mayor Marco and captain Hans have gradually moved the warehouse of the Yugoslav capital guard brigade in recent years. Jeremy didn’t think anything would go wrong when they were there. The whole town of Duodan is not in charge of Mayor Marco. These materials are also purchased by the town.
It doesn’t matter whether these materials are in the warehouse or not if there is no doubt about Captain Hans’ side.
The commander of Langdon cavalry battalion never asked about the Yugoslav capital guard brigade.
He doesn’t think it’s so serious. At most, it’s what’s wrong with getting those armaments back in town!
Yesterday, the armed forces of the trading firm actually stopped the carriage full of armaments, and Mayor Marco actually tried to drink off those mercenaries. Captain Hans finally left the Yugoslav capital guard brigade awkwardly, which made Jeremy, the warehouse manager, feel a little nervous.
He was holding a parchment book and carefully recording the materials in the warehouse when he saw the town clerk panting and running in from the outside. He and the clerk happened to be neighbors. They usually drink together, but he rarely came to the Yugoslav capital guard brigade.
The clerk saw Jeremy, the warehouse keeper, running to him with his hands around his waist and panting, and asked him, "Is Jeremy’s eldest brother Commander Surdak here?"
Jeremy pointed to the north wall and said to the recorder, "Upp, what do you want with the commander?"
The clerk wiped his face and sweat and said to Jeremy, "I have an emergency to report to the commander. Mayor Marco secretly left Dodan town with his family last night!"
Jeremy, the warehouse keeper, shook his hand slightly, and the sheepskin account book slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
Chapter 713 Bad Finance
The North City Wall is made up of a large amount of shale containing iron ore. At the beginning, this 12-story-high wall was built. It is said that Duke Newman invited three great magicians from Bena Magic Union to detonate two towering stone thorns buried in the middle of the mountain on both sides with their’ explosive inflammation’.
It was these two hundred-meter-long feldspar thorns that collapsed to block the Duodan Canyon. The craftsmen of Bena City built this nearly 400-meter-wide wall with a large number of iron-bearing shale stones, which reached the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon and merged with the mountain.
The rough surface of shale has now been made into a wall by masons, and the city wall is also very wide. Even if there are many bed crossbows, there are still many materials behind it.
Surdak and quartermaster Gandel inspected the defensive facilities of the city wall. Happily, the ordnance of this city wall was well preserved.
It is estimated that Mayor Marco has no excuse to move the wall to keep these ordnance.
"I will truthfully reflect the situation here to the military, and the military and Wilkes House of Representatives will make the final decision. Mayor Marco is, after all, an aristocratic baron protected by the aristocratic regulations of the Green Empire. Even if he goes too far, we will intervene." Quartermaster Gandel touched the cold rocks on the battlements and looked at the lush forests at the foot of the canyon on both sides.
He turned to look at Surdak and said with a smile, "I am willing to run to a noble town in a remote border town. No matter how he is now, when he was young, he was willing to dedicate his youth to the empire. Even if the military is tough, it is estimated that the House of Representatives will come forward to protect them."
Surdak also knows that the aristocratic body of the Green Empire is a class body, and even the sweat pores are not protected by the imperial code. If it were not for the heinous crimes of treason, murder (aristocratic) and heresy, there would be few death sentences in the imperial code.
It never occurred to Surdak that Mayor Marco would be guillotined by the military, which means paying a fine at most and then sending him to a more barren and remote place, such as Gudao prison, to be a warden.
Gandel added, "They probably figured out that the logistics and military supplies supply team is about to arrive in Duodan Town these days and want to make a fortune. It is probably because they have offended others too hard that they will become like this."
Surdak told quartermaster Gandel that Mayor Marco secretly controlled the slave trade group and was looted by an adventure group composed of exiled criminals who were also in the forest outside the town.
Gandel suddenly realized that he was patting his thigh and said, "I told you something must have gone wrong. It turned out to be because of this matter. Generally speaking, the local business group did not dare to offend the local governor too much, but I also heard about the boss behind the trading firm here. He can be so bold. It seems that the contradiction between the two is not accumulated in a day or two."
Surdak passed an alloy bow from the side of the guard soldier. He wrapped a circle of linen thread around the handle of this alloy bow, and the back of the bow was polished because of frequent wiping.
Surdak used to be a shield warrior, and later he learned to ride and became a knight with a powerful aura. His bow is really not very good.
However, he picked up the alloy bow not to show off archery, but to pull the alloy bow full and throw it high.
Because it is a 40-meter-high wall, fine steel’s arrow flies to the highest point and falls parabolically, falling 200 meters away from the wall. The grass is still full of vigor.
About two thirds of the whole arrow was inserted into the soil.
Quartermaster Gandel knew that Surdak had something to say, so he took back his eyes and stared at him.
"Even if the alloy bow is ejected, it can only shoot 200 meters. Can the Wilkes City Military Department support several catapults?" Surdak asked quartermaster Gandel.
Gandel felt that his feet were weak and his face was broken. He said to Surdak, "Commander Surdak’s adult, you really dare to think! You probably don’t know that Benacheng ordnance workshop produces less than 100 catapults per month, not only because the main poles of catapults need adult iron wood, but also because each catapult is inlaid with magical rune board roots. It is said that the union of inscriptions division has suspended the order for magical rune boards of his catapults to ensure the construction period of magic patterns. "
Surdak once took part in the Battle of Moyunling, when the 57th Heavenly Armored Infantry Regiment attacked the Evil Ghost Legion of Moyunling, and two catapult regiments were transferred to the war. He never thought that the catapult Bena province was so popular.
Gandel saw Surdak’s meditation and then went on to say, "Are these dozens of catapults or Duke Newman’s personal approval for the ordnance workshop? According to the requirements of Charles the Great, 40% of the monthly production of catapults in various provinces should be handed over to support the plane war in other provinces of the empire."
At present, the lords of Bena province have not been attacked by the dark legion, so the situation is relatively good among many provinces in the empire
However, even if it was not directly impacted by the dark legion, the main legion of Bena Province is now trapped in Handanar County in Warsaw.
Moreover, all kinds of strategic materials in Bena province should be divided into certain quotas to support other provinces of the empire
Gandel complained to Surdak, "I have to support Bena Corps in Warsaw, and the strategic ordnance of allocating catapults on demand in the whole province is not in Berlin!"
Gandel, a quartermaster in his twenties, knows these things very well.
Finally, he took Surdak’s hand and earnestly said to him
"This time, those fire scale bombs were also accumulated for a long time. When the beast tide besieged the city, it should be saved. Besides, the value of the beast killed by fire scale bombs is far less than that of the bow and arrow. Even if the fur has a hole, it can be sold."
"Now that you mention it, I think of one thing. Please bring more salt." Surdak patted his forehead and said.
"salt?" Gandel is somewhat incomprehensible.
Surdak’ Hehe’ smiled and said, "When the beast tide comes, there are so many carcasses that I can’t eat them all. I’m going to pickle them all and make bacon. I can put them in the Tibetan room for years without being bad!"
Gandel looked blank, but there was no shortage of salt in Wilkes. "Bacon? I’ll send you a load of salt several times … "
Then I thought of something and woke up to Surdak. "Commander Surdak, what you have to do now is that I make a list as far as possible according to the real needs here before I leave. The materials sent each time may not be as homogeneous as this time, but they will definitely be supplemented in a targeted manner."
When Surdak saw that the Wilkes City Military Department still attached great importance to the beast tide, he felt a little relaxed and said, "The good list will be handed over to you early."
When they walked along the rough stone steps to the wall, they saw a town hall clerk running from the surface.
Perhaps it is because he usually neglects exercise, just climbs more than 100 stone steps and sticks his tongue out of his mouth like a dead dog with a flustered face.
See Surdak, the official, sitting on the steps and panting for a long time, and then he said, "Come on."
"Commander Surdak’s adult Mayor Marco took away the property in the treasury of the town hall last night and secretly left Duodan town with his family!"
Surdak sent Samira to watch Marco last night, and he had a hunch that he might get away with the money.
Now I’m not surprised to hear that Mayor Marco really ran away.
But in front of everyone, he had to pretend to frown and ask, "How can I report it now?"
