Lords go left, Emperors go right
Page 29
Of course, Chris and the others will be assigned to guide the work, to ensure that there are no spies among them. After these beautiful girls arrive, Chris and the other three can advance and be promoted to head maids. Osta got it for free. These maids are professional maids trained by the royal family of the Cronesian Empire, specially arranged for Prince Joseph, and are much more professional than randomly hired maids. Osta also wants to thank Joseph for accidentally saving him a lot of money on hiring maids.
The Imperial Princess Chronicles had no objection to this. The elder sister did not express any opposition. Although she knew that it would harm her younger brother, Prince Joseph, Chronicles' mentality had some subtle changes, so she did not mind this indirect behavior of harming her younger brother.
In the next few days, before the Obelisk Empire coalition army returned, Osta General used the sea route and, with the help of the ships provided by the pirate queen Belus and Lianna, successfully transferred all the noble families and wealthy families in the Middleton area to his own territory, the Bloomfield area. Those noble daughters felt that they had been almost completely seen by a certain gentleman prince, and this time they moved to the other party's territory, subconsciously intending to give themselves and all their property as dowry to the imperial prince who saved their lives and pledged their lives to him.
Baron Joseph, the lord, was totally unaware of this and thought that they were killed or kidnapped by pirates. Anyway, when his men arrived, the homes of these noble families and wealthy merchants had already been emptied. Osta blamed the pirates, bandits and robbers. The only one who knew about this, Princess Chronicles, helped Osta keep it a secret and did not tell her brother, Prince Joseph, the truth.
On the morning of the third day, the Obelix Empire coalition forces finally managed to repel the attack of the Malryn Tribe, one of the primitive tribes of the Drax people, and successfully rushed back to Mist City for support. The bandits and robbers who did not have time to escape were attacked from both sides by the two imperial armies and were soon completely defeated. The turmoil in Mist City was finally quickly quelled.
According to rough statistics after the war, the several days of fighting in the port city of Mist resulted in varying casualties among all the warring forces. The biggest losers on the surface were the bandits and robber groups. The more than 100,000 attacking bandits and robbers were jointly attacked by the defenders and the combined forces of the Obelisk Empire. More than 60,000 of them were killed, and the remaining 40,000 defeated bandits and robbers were dispersed.
Bandits and robber groups could not establish a strong presence in the Middleton area for a period of time. The Great Prince of the Empire, Osed, indirectly completed the task of suppressing the bandit group entrenched in the Maryswell Plains, at least saving some face, and the image of the Obelisk Empire was not damaged.
The attacking pirate group also suffered heavy casualties. The pirate king "Sea Dragon" Modrel lost more than 100 warships, and one-third of the more than 30,000 people he brought with him, more than 10,000 people, were buried in the sea when the warship sank. The pirate leader "Black Shark" Belit led more than 20,000 pirates to land, and lost more than 8,000 people, most of whom died at the hands of the 3,000 female warriors under Osta. The remaining more than 10,000 pirates only took away a small amount of looted treasures and fled in a panic on board the ship. It can be said that the loss outweighed the gain.
The pirate queens Belus and Lianna did not suffer too many casualties, with more than a thousand casualties. None of their warships were sunk, but only damaged. They could still be used after repair. They were the biggest winners in this melee, and they successfully weakened their competitors at a very small cost. After this battle, the power comparison between the ten pirate kings began to change. If it weren't for Osta's suggestion, the two pirate queens wanted to expand the scale of the battlefield and further attack Modrel.
The real biggest loser in the melee in Mist City was Lord Baron Joseph. The territory of this imperial prince was finally recovered, and it could almost be said that it was "back to the period before liberation overnight." The city, which originally had a population of more than 200,000, only had about 80,000 people left after the war.
More than 20,000 residents were killed, tragically killed by pirates, bandits and robbers. The merchants who originally came to do business, more than 100,000 floating population, felt that the safety of Mister City could not be guaranteed because of this incident, and they all withdrew from the Middleton area and went to find new safe territories.
This was almost a fatal blow to Lord Joseph. With such a small population, it would take a long time to restore the former glory of Mist City. He had been closed to visitors for a while, and seemed to be autistic. Of course, as the crown prince and future heir to the throne of the Cronesian Empire, Joseph's political future in the empire was not greatly affected.
The real winner of this melee was naturally Osta, as he was the one who transferred the population and wealth, and the pirates and others were the ones to take the blame. Osta almost laughed out loud, but fortunately he managed to maintain his normal state in time and did not reveal any flaws in front of the other princes of the Obelisk Empire.
Britney, the imperial female envoy, has already been dealt with. She said she would keep Osta secret. She was involved in the immigration matter. As an accomplice, she was unlikely to betray him, so Osta was more relieved. After this companionship, Britney's attitude towards Osta also changed. As an imperial faction, her position was not firm and she seemed to have new ideas.
"Brother, don't blame yourself too much. At least we managed to keep Princess Kronisil and Prince Joseph safe this time. Father won't blame us too much if he finds out."
"Third brother, you have worked hard this time. You have led more than 3,000 hunters to persevere until now. If it weren't for the internal strife of the pirate group, the consequences would be disastrous. I will prepare a detailed report for father after returning. You don't have to worry. No matter how big the responsibility is, as your elder brother, I will shoulder it all."
Aosta looked at the eldest prince Osed and felt a little embarrassed. This elder brother didn't know that Aosta was in the same group with the pirate queen Belus and Lianna, and thought that the previous naval battle was an internal conflict among the pirate group, which gave Aosta the opportunity to hold on until now.
The expedition of the Obelix Empire coalition army has come to an end, and Osta has led the team back to his own territory, the Bloomfield area. Because the joint operation did not last long, the intrigues and conflicts between the princes of the empire have not yet appeared publicly.
The military operation was not very successful, and for a while, the eldest prince Osed would not easily take the lead in organizing such thankless joint military operations. Osta had a stable period of development, and he was still willing to participate in such operations again, perhaps he could get some new benefits.
Chapter 76: Moving into the New Luxurious Lord's Mansion
The economic and political center of the Middleton region, the port city of Mister, declined rapidly after the pirate attack, and it was impossible to restore its former prosperity in a short time. The loss of the lord, Prince Joseph, was great. However, in order to maintain the dignity of the empire, the Kronesia Empire and the Obelisk Empire reached a tacit consensus and unanimously announced to the outside world that they had won the battle to defend Mister City.
According to the unified statement of the two empires, all the pirates and bandits who attacked were killed by the brave and fearless soldiers of the imperial army. At least on the surface, the people of the two countries could not know that their imperial army was defeated and almost succeeded in being stolen by pirates. If so, the image of the imperial army as invincible would be completely ruined.
Emperor Augustus VIII did not blame the Obelisk Empire's coalition forces for their strategic mistakes. This was mainly because the commander of the coalition forces was the eldest prince Osed, and as the heir to the throne, Augustus VIII favored him, so he did not hold Osed responsible and let him off the hook.
The other princes were not held accountable either, as they all acted with Osed, and the emperor could not show such obvious favoritism towards the eldest prince. If another prince had been the commander-in-chief, the outcome would be hard to predict, and it might be a different story. Of course, if it had been Osed, he would probably have been fined, at most, a few criticisms and a small monthly allowance for the prince's personal expenses.
Osta's behavior of taking advantage of the chaos in the battle was naturally not discovered. The eldest prince Osed believed it to be true. The fourth prince Osk and the fifth prince Osla, who were present at the time, did not see Osta's army fighting with their own eyes. The two sides fought in separate areas.
This led to the princes of the Obelix Empire's royal family to believe that the more than 3,000 Valkyrie-level elite female warriors brought by Osta were just more than 3,000 hunters. In the memorial reported to the Emperor Augustus VIII after the war, it was also recorded that the army brought by Osta was just hunters and had little combat power.
The victory in the defense of Mist City was attributed to the internal strife of the pirate group, which saved Osta from a lot of trouble. He can continue to develop his own territory, Bloomfield, with peace of mind. There are still many things in the territory that need to be handled by the new lord himself.
After experiencing the pirates' plunder, the noble families and wealthy merchants in Mist City dared not stay in Mist City. With the help of Osta, these people immigrated to Bloomfield Territory to settle down. Although Osta said that he did not need any thank-you gifts, the daughters and wives of the noble families and wealthy merchants, these ladies and noblewomen, out of their professional habits as businessmen, did not believe in free kindness. Under their insistence, Osta still accepted the thank-you gifts and also made these new territory residents feel at ease.
With the huge donations and sponsorship from these famous families and wealthy businessmen, Osta built a luxurious mansion. More than a month after he took office as the new lord of Bloomfield Territory, Osta finally had a mansion that was more in line with his status. The previous temporary mansion was at best a simple cabin, which was incomparable to the current luxurious mansion.
The new lord's residence in Aosta is built in the Marianas Beach area. It looks like a luxurious seaside villa with a large area. Facing the sea, you can see the beautiful scenery of the sea from the balcony of the villa. It is equipped with a private beach and an artificial bathing beach, so beach parties can be held at any time.
There is no need to worry about the safety of the lord's mansion. The sea area and the islands in the nearby area are under the jurisdiction of the Holy Ruins Elf Tribe, and the surrounding areas are all our own people. If it weren't for the flag of the Obelisk Empire and the symbol of the imperial family, it would be difficult for outsiders to guess that this luxurious seaside villa would actually be a lord's mansion. Most people would think it was a private mansion built by a wealthy man.
"Your Highness Austa, Britney didn't tell you anything, did she? I don't think she will give up so easily. She might come here to cause trouble again next time."
"Meilan, you don't have to worry about this. Britney is going back to the empire to report on this visit. If you are worried, you can go back with the warship to supervise Britney."
"Your Highness Osta, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously. Unless you don't need my service anymore, I will stay by your side forever."
"Meilan, you'd better be prepared. I don't intend to let you go."
"Your Highness Aosta, please don't say such things that could easily be misunderstood. Even when joking, you should..."
"Meilan, I don't joke with ladies casually. This time I'm serious."
On the large viewing balcony of the luxurious villa in the new lord's mansion, Miss Meilan, the military advisor of the Bloomfield Territory and the female brigadier general of the Obelisk Empire, was talking with the lord, Prince Aosta, about the imperial envoy.
After Osta returned to the territory, Britney, the imperial female envoy, also boarded the warship back to the empire to report the situation to the imperial emperor Augustus VIII. Osta had agreed with Britney to keep it secret, so she probably wouldn't say anything.
The only surprise was that when Britney left, she had a look of reluctance in her eyes. She seemed to want to stay in Bloomfield Territory for a while longer to see the new changes and developments in the territory. However, she had to give up temporarily because of time constraints.
After being in contact with Prince Aosta for a while, Britney knew that it was dangerous to stay with this gentleman prince. If she was not careful, she would become his prey and collection. However, she inexplicably wanted to see what changes this new territory would have in the future, and she was caught in a contradictory choice.
Meilan was wearing a female general uniform of the Obelisk Empire. The uniform was mainly black, with black high leather boots and black silk stockings, which made Meilan look like a queen. However, her face was slightly red and she looked shy. She couldn't keep her normal state in front of a gentleman prince and couldn't maintain her usual performance.
Osta had seen Meilan in a swimsuit before, and now whenever he saw Meilan, Osta would imagine the beauty of her wearing a special shell bikini swimsuit in his mind. Osta never concealed his gentlemanly eyes, so that Meilan felt that the gentleman prince's eyes looking at her were as if he had a built-in perspective function, and could see through her secrets through her clothes, which made Meilan feel inexplicably shy in her subconscious.
Compared to Meilan's shyness, another female warrior present was much calmer. The matriarch of the Valkyrie tribe, the "True Valkyrie" Savannah, stood on the other side, wearing the Valkyrie's exclusive equipment and armor. A gentle smile appeared on her pretty face, and she seemed to have ignored Osta's gentlemanly look.
In the battle of Mist City, although Osta did not show much military talent, his act of rescuing hostages was still worthy of recognition. Savanna decided to accept the olive branch that Osta had thrown to her before, and led the Valkyrie tribe to join the rule of the new lord Osta.
The Valkyrie tribe also recognized Osta as the lord of the Blomfield region, becoming the second original tribe of the Lonosbel people to join. Osta has taken another important step towards completely unifying the Blomfield region. Of course, with the joining of the Valkyrie tribe, the contradiction between him and the Sarahanim tribe is gradually intensifying, and the trend of conflict is obvious. The "Snake Witch" Samadiya will not sit idly by and watch the new lord Osta's strength grow further, and will definitely use some means to weaken and destroy it.
"My Lord, it's no problem for you to recruit our Valkyrie tribe. However, you have to defeat Samadiya and bring peace to Blomfield. This is my only requirement for joining. If the conditions are not met in the future, I might resign and leave with all the clan members of the tribe!"
"Savannah, I agree to this condition. No problem. You are free to come and go. I can guarantee that."
Osta smiled attentively and agreed to Savannah's request on the surface. In fact, with his gentlemanly behavior, no one had ever successfully jumped off the pirate ship in front of Ostah. As long as Savannah joined, it would not be so easy to leave. The current priority was to find ways to concentrate all the combat power that could be used and always be on guard against the offensive of the Sarahanim.
"Your Excellency, we have an appointment then! I will go back and arrange for the transfer of the tribe members, and I will report the details to you later."
"Well, Savannah, go get busy!"
Savannah turned and left, going back to the territory to command the Valkyrie tribe members to carry out strategic transfer according to the arrangements of the lord, Prince Aosta. As Savannah left, Meilan's face became even redder. Now she was left alone with the gentleman, Prince Aosta. Chris and the other exclusive follower combat maids were training new maids on the lower floor and were not in the balcony area.
If a certain gentleman prince wanted to do something strange and evil, Meilan would have no way to resist. I don't know why, although Prince Osta didn't seem to be planning to do anything, Meilan, as a female brigadier general of the Obelisk Empire, had a high personal combat capability. She didn't have the slightest intention of resisting Osta. Maybe this was the unique aura of the royal family!
"Meilan, you look so red. Is it too hot? How about going to the private beach?"
"Your Highness Osta, you...you misunderstood. I...I'm not hot yet. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
Meilan seemed to be running away, quickly fleeing from the luxurious open-air balcony on the second floor of the villa. Aosta did not stop her, laughing in his heart. This young lady probably forgot that her temporary room was also in the luxurious villa of the lord's mansion. If Aosta wanted, he could find Meilan at any time. She had no way to escape the clutches and control of a certain gentleman. From the moment she moved into the villa area, her future was doomed.
"This girl, I need to find time to check if she needs a new swimsuit. Chris, you're here, is the training over?"
"Lord Osta, I've asked Yulia and Sophia to help train those girls. It won't be a big problem."
"Okay, Chris, come with me for a walk down the street."
One of Osta's exclusive accompanying combat maids, the beautiful girl with silver hair and silver eyes, Chris, reported in wearing a snow-white Gothic maid outfit. After seeing Chris, Osta promptly retracted his previous gentlemanly remarks, and the evil plan against Meilan could not be known to the maids around him for the time being.
Near the lord's mansion of Osta, there is a brand new town. It is a gathering place for the former noble families and wealthy businessmen of Mist City who immigrated to the Bloomfield territory. Due to language communication problems, Osta temporarily did not allow the immigrants to live together with the residents of the local primitive tribes, but managed them separately and independently.
These immigrants brought new vitality to the territory. If Osta had nothing to do, he would go for a stroll on the streets, looking as if he was inspecting the people's sentiments. This was part of the lord's daily activities, and Osta just thought of it as accompanying a beautiful girl on a stroll.
The streets of the town were bustling. This newly-born town, which had not yet been named, was considered the safest area because of its geographical advantage close to the lord's mansion. Many wealthy merchants immigrated here. Because of the relationship with the wealthy merchants, Aosta urgently built a new dock near the port of Santa Maria, named the St. Louis dock, and began to receive merchant ships and cargo ships doing legitimate business. In addition to pirates and dark merchants, the port of Aosta gradually had regular merchants doing business.
"Chris, are there any new rumors recently?"
"Nothing about you, Lord Osta, but there are rumors about your brother. The lords of the neighboring territories, Prince Osla and Prince Osdu, have been making moves recently. They are urgently recruiting soldiers and hiring a large number of war mercenaries from overseas."
"Old Five and Old Six, what are those two stinky... two royal brothers doing now? Do they want to start a new war right after the joint operation ended? Chris, remember to help me keep an eye on the latest developments next door."
"Lord Osta, I understand."
Chapter 77: Sales Problems on the Eve of the Great Harvest
Soon after the military operation of the Obelix Empire coalition ended, Osta began to work on the unification of its own territory. Taking advantage of the rare period of peace, unifying the Blomfield region as soon as possible is the primary issue that Osta needs to deal with at the moment.
The war between Osta and the primitive tribe of the Sarahanim was inevitable. Their leader, the "Snake Witch" Samadiya, was an ambitious woman who would not easily give up her dominance over the Bloomfield area. The conflict was inevitable and there was only one way to go.
The primitive tribes of the Nolantians and the Lonosbiers were relatively easy to subjugate. Their nominal supreme leaders, the "White Witch" Gonias and the "Black Witch" Loritana, were both working for Aosta, and the two sides had good communication channels and intermediaries.
Except for the Sword of Guardian tribe of the Valkyrie tribe, which had already surrendered, the other primitive tribes under Osta were not good at fighting. If he wanted to compete with the primitive tribes of the Sarahanim, he had to recruit stronger primitive tribes to join and become his allies.
The Styx Extraditers and Witches of Mystery in the Lonosbel people, the Sky Messenger, Dark Elf and Succubus tribes in the Nolanthias people. The combat power of these five primitive tribes even exceeds the two primitive tribes of the Sarahanim people, and can compete with the Dragon Tribe.
The next step for Osta was to find ways to attract the five primitive tribes to join his own ruling area. The fighting power of those female leaders even surpassed the female leader of the Valkyrie Tribe, "True Valkyrie" Savanna, and the female leader of the Guardian Sword Tribe, "Sword Soul" Tiffany. If he didn't recruit them, it would be no good for Osta if they suddenly jumped to the opposite side one day.
"Sir, please forgive me for being rude, but the female leaders of the tribes you mentioned are all very difficult to convince, even more troublesome than Savannah. Even if you show enough goodwill, they may not appreciate it."
"Tifana, don't worry about this issue. I will find a suitable way to make them agree."
Seeing Osta's firm attitude, the former matriarch of the Holy Ruins Elf Tribe, the Holy Elf Tifana, stopped trying to dissuade him and told him everything she knew. This beautiful girl with blue hair and red eyes has pointed ears unique to the elves and butterfly-shaped wings unique to the fairies. With the advantage of easy mobility, Tifana used to move around the Bloomfield area quite frequently.
Except for the matriarch of the primitive tribe of the Sarahanim, Tifana was relatively familiar with the matriarchs of the other primitive tribes. From her, Osta could easily obtain the general intelligence information about the matriarch he wanted to know.
After finishing her report, Tifana left quickly and did not stay in the Lord's Mansion of Osta for too long. Although there was a magic crystal for communication, when Osta discussed important matters with his city lords and the female matriarchs of the primitive tribes, they generally did not use the magic crystal to communicate. They all talked face to face or sent letters by carrier pigeons. The language and text used by both sides in communication were all Chinese.
Osta was very cautious. The magic contact crystal was very convenient, almost like a video call on Earth, but the security was not guaranteed. With a little manipulation, outsiders could spy on the specific content of the call. Osta didn't want to be secretly monitored by others one day, so he used the current primitive communication method.
In the elegantly decorated office study in the lord's mansion, in addition to Lord Aosta, there were also Chris, Yulia and Sophia, the exclusive accompanying combat maids accompanying the lord, and their positions were now upgraded to head maids.
Aosta had just "kidnapped" a group of ready-made professional maids from Prince Joseph's mansion not long ago, greatly expanding his mansion. In the study, these maids were all wearing full sets of Gothic maid outfits, and it was impossible to tell that they would be the strongest fighting force around Aosta. After the newly joined maids moved into the mansion, they took over most of the chores in this luxurious villa area, and Chris and the others could focus on providing special assistance to Aosta.
Osta looked at the documents on the luxurious desk in front of him. There was still an important matter to deal with, which was the issue of product sales. The potato planting plan promoted in the underground tribe clans had been a great success. In a month, the crops grew well. At the current growth rate, a good harvest would be ready in more than a month.
The land of the Central Continent, especially the Bloomfield Territory, has become extremely fertile due to the influence of the cheats of the farming traversers in the prehistoric civilization period. The crops planted here, as long as the planting method is correct, will grow much faster than on Earth, and are more efficient than using chemical fertilizers on Earth. It should be considered as adding super fertilizers.
The former female leader of the underground tribe, "Rat Lady" Luo Xi, was very happy about this and quickly accepted Osta's second step plan to promote corn crops. As the harvest was approaching, Osta encountered a lot of trouble. The yield per mu exceeded the specification by too much. According to a rough estimate, the crops harvested this time far exceeded the original forecast. Osta did not have a larger warehouse to store the extra crops for the time being, so he could only sell them to others.
Who to sell to is a thorny issue. To avoid suspicion, Aosta will not sell back to the Western Continent where his homeland is located, fearing that it will attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. Among the four continents of the human race, the Western Continent cannot be sold, and the Eastern Continent is also difficult to sell crops to that closed continent due to the control of the church. The church almost monopolizes all trade in the Eastern Continent.
There was no need to consider the Southern Continent, which was still in the slave era. Even if there was a real shortage of food, they would not buy it from abroad. Reducing the rations of slaves would solve the problem. Moreover, the Western Continent and the Southern Continent had serious differences in social and political systems, and they had been fighting each other for a long time, making it very difficult to do business.
Osta's only option was the human countries in the northern continent. The countries on that continent were most directly or indirectly affected by the time travelers from the prehistoric civilization period. They had a highly developed commodity economy and were showing a trend of transitioning to a capitalist society.
Selling to the countries in the northern continent is the best choice. They are all qualified merchants, and they only care about whether there are goods and the origin of the goods. As for whether the goods are contraband, it is not the concern of the merchants. Merchants always put profit first and have a flexible bottom line in terms of morality.
Osta didn't know the royal nobles of the countries in the northern continent, so it was a bit troublesome to make this deal. Knowing someone and not knowing someone were completely different treatments. If you knew someone, you could buy in large quantities at a preferential purchase price. If you didn't know them, it would be a pitfall. Not only would you be limited in sales, but you would also have to accept a very low purchase price, which was obviously a huge loss.
This is one of the habits of the new nobles of the merchant class in the northern continent. A stranger must be cheated several times before he can be considered an acquaintance. Aosta does not want to suffer too much loss in the grain purchase price, so now he can only think of ways to build relationships first.
"Lord Osta, the young ladies have arrived. Why don't you go ask them? Those girls should know something about the northern continent."
"Chris, thank you for reminding me. I almost forgot about this. Let's go ask them."
Osta couldn't think of a suitable solution, so he could only seek help. The new immigrants to Bloomfield were all local nobles and wealthy businessmen in the port city of Mister, the capital of Middleton. Because of the pirate attack, they were hit hard and chose to immigrate to Osta's territory. They didn't want to stay in Middleton, a sad place, for fear of bringing back the unbearable memories of that shameful past.
In order to appease the uneasy emotions of the new residents, Aosta specially held a party in his lord's mansion, and the event location was the private swimming pool area of the villa area. The daughters of these famous families and wealthy merchants all accepted the invitation and came here to attend the private party held by Aosta. Their wives did not come to attend. After losing their partners, the ladies had to deal with many aftermath matters, so they let their daughters attend on their behalf.
Osta came to the private swimming pool and asked the daughters of the rich families about the situation. Many of them came from wealthy families. When they followed their elders to learn business, they had more or less dealt with the merchants of the Northern Continent and should know a lot about the situation. After being reminded by Chris, the exclusive battle maid who accompanied him, Osta remembered the private party he had organized.
"Your Highness Aosta, what's troubling you? You don't look very well. We might be able to help you. Is the donation not enough? Problems that can be solved with money are not a big deal. We can donate more."
"No, there is still a lot of money left from the donations from the young ladies and your mothers, enough to do a lot of things. By the way, have any of you ever done business with merchants from the northern continent? I would like to know."
"To be honest, we don't like the merchants from the northern continent. They are all too shrewd and can't make any profit. If you want to do business with them, you have to be careful. If you are not careful, you will suffer losses."
After arriving at the private swimming pool, Osta felt much more relaxed. For a gentleman, this beautiful scenery is the best way to eliminate worries. The beautiful ladies who came to the private party blushed and looked a little shy. However, they finally chose to accept the party arrangement and put on the bikini swimsuits specially provided by Osta. These special swimsuits are full of benefits and cater to the gentleman's taste. They are so thin that they can hardly cover too many secrets.
The ladies were previously held hostage by pirates in the Lord's Mansion in Mist City, and were stripped down to thin underwear. Osta had seen their seductive postures in erotic, sexy and open-style underwear. Therefore, they did not feel too uncomfortable this time, and quickly changed into special sexy bikini swimsuits of the same style as the underwear they wore at that time.
The barbecue grill prepared by the poolside was filled with delicious seafood. The aroma of the food quickly made the young ladies attending the party forget their shyness and indulge in the delicious seafood feast.
Anyway, Aosta was undoubtedly the one who made the most money. He came to the swimming pool and looked around. There was a beautiful scene of surging waves everywhere, and graceful white phantoms were displayed in front of him without reservation. This is a private swimming pool. The owner can enjoy this beautiful scene alone and contract everything without worrying about being peeped by outsiders.
These young ladies had almost no suspicion of Aosta, and allowed Aosta to admire them at will. In the past, they would not have dared to imagine such a bold and open thing, but since they encountered the pirates, their mentality had changed subtly, and they began to care less about some things.
The young ladies saw that Osta looked unhappy and was probably in a bad mood, so they all came over to comfort him in a soft voice. He was their lord and the prince of the empire. If Osta gave a little hint with his eyes, most of the young ladies would take the initiative to throw themselves into his arms and come over to do something unspeakable at night.
Winning over members of the imperial family is also an important way to change one's fate. After Aosta rescued them, these young ladies had already taken sides and were all on Aosta's side.
As a gentleman, Osta could of course read the passion hidden deep in the eyes of those young ladies. He was a little moved, but he didn't show it. Although these young ladies were beautiful, they were obviously different from Chris and the others. In terms of figure, they were also inferior to the plump figure of the imperial female brigadier general Miss Meilan.
Osta's immunity is relatively high, so he won't break the rules immediately. If it was his brother, the seventh prince Osser, a lecherous gentleman, none of the young ladies present would be spared tonight.
While enjoying the beautiful scenery, Osta also obtained important information from the young ladies' oral accounts. Merchants in the northern continent countries, the new nobles of the wealthy class, would regularly hold special gatherings, that is, commodity fairs.
The location of this year's special gathering has been confirmed to be on a luxury cruise ship at sea, and Aosta can bring people on board to discuss business. Identity disguise is not a big problem. There are so many young ladies present, and they are willing to let the prince pretend to be a distant relative of their family and board the ship with a fake identity.
Aosta immediately decided to attend the business banquet in disguise, to negotiate business with the merchants from the northern continent, and to sell the surplus grain from his territory when the harvest is coming soon. There will be many royal nobles from the northern continent at the banquet, and with so many merchants, there will always be one or two who can be negotiated, so there will be no worries about sales.
Chapter 78: Business Alliance Gathering on the Super Airship
Among all the continents of the human race, the richest one is the Northern Continent. The countries of the Northern Continent have been greatly influenced by the time travelers and saviors of the prehistoric civilization period. Compared with other human continents, they have entered a highly developed commodity economy society.
However, the Northern Continent is far from a true capitalist society, and there is no way to transform between the two. This is mainly because the traversers did not keep up with the times and did not leave behind the key books on capitalism, which indirectly led to the abnormal development of the Northern Continent.
The countries in the northern continent have always been in fierce internal struggles. The ruling class of the country is divided into conservative old aristocrats and radical new aristocrats, fighting for wealth and power. The old aristocrats are the original members of the royal family, and the new aristocrats are the wealthy businessmen and rich people who have emerged with the development of the commodity economy.
The countries of the Northern Continent, which have been in internal struggle for many years, lag behind other human continents in foreign affairs such as the development of the Central Continent. Among the empires that currently occupy colonies in the Central Continent and divide them into their own national territories, there is no empire from the Northern Continent. The merchant ships and cargo ships of the Northern Continent countries are active on the main routes in various seas.
The Central Continent is currently in a delicate state of being divided into five equal parts. The western region is mainly controlled by countries from the Western Continent, and the southern and eastern regions are similarly controlled by countries from the Southern and Eastern Continents. The northern region is still under the jurisdiction of the local primitive tribes. Because the Northern Continent has not directly sent people to land and intervene, this area is temporarily unowned.
