688: Chapter 417 – Fighting and Snatching_1 688: Chapter 417 – Fighting and Snatching_1 “Sir…” Everyone was anxious, chasing after him in hopes of getting a clear answer.
But where could they even see a trace of the Sixth Great Realm?
Everyone returned and saw Donald Lee standing in the hall, confidently smiling with his fists together: “Everyone, go check the accounts first.
If there is anything you would like to discuss, you can always co to find .”
Thinking about it, what was there to discuss with this big-head soldier?
It was better to go back and understand the situation before speaking, so everyone took their leave.
Owen Bertram ca out and instructed soone to call Leroy Baker over.
He secretly reminded him: “There will definitely be people who will ask you about the harvest of the first battle.
Rember, you must tell them that there weren’t high returns and the account book is fake.”
“For the Topeka Hall side, you’ll be the one to negotiate with them and to ensure a consistent narrative.
Can it be done?”
Leroy Baker was initially stunned, but imdiately gave Owen Bertram a thumbs up with a mischievous smile: “Sir, you’re brilliant!”
…
That night, soone went to find Leroy Baker and Topeka Hall.
However, both sides complained: “The earnings weren’t as high as reported.
We did make a profit, but it was only about 20%.”
“Account books?
You guys actually believe that?
We’re all doing business here.
Who doesn’t make their account books look nice and tidy?”
“The Nanni Nation is no pushover either.
The Flying Bear Army suffered heavy losses.
The profits from each business deal first went to the compensation for the fallen soldiers of the Flying Bear Army, and another portion was allocated for the resettlent of the disabled.
The expenses in that area were extrely high.”
“Moreover, as the war deepens, the Nanni Nation will be better prepared and their resistance will beco even more tenacious.”
“Once they are fighting within the borders of the Nanni Nation, their determination to protect their hos and country will beco even more intense, and the losses will further increase.”
“In short, this isn’t a good business.”
After hearing the news, everyone who left Leroy Baker and Topeka Hall spat towards the gate as they left, faces full of distaste: “These greedy rchants are showing their true colors!
They purposely describe it so miserably so that we don’t try to compete with them for this business.
They want to monopolize it.
“Do they think I’m stupid?
They want to deceive so easily?
In your dreams!
Hmph!”
The next day, everyone was looking for Owen Bertram, but no one knew where he was.
Owen Bertram and all the artificers had hidden themselves in an outpost outside Copper Gorge to refine the Celestial Warship.
Owen Bertram’s journey to the southern border had brought him great harvests, but the losses were also substantial: the Beans Soldiers were almost all injured!
These Tier-5 Organ Soldiers needed vast amounts of precious materials for their repairs.
Owen Bertram hadn’t expected that the ancient deity would use long-distance teleportation to channel its power and eventually resort to a self-detonation when it couldn’t win anymore!
Originally, he thought his domain could suppress the enemy, and Leroy Baker and the three others could easily plow through with the Beans Soldiers.
But instead, they suffered heavy losses.
He focused on repairing his own Beans Soldiers, while Otis King and the others were tasked with refining the Celestial Warship.
Owen Bertram only participated if they encountered any difficulties.
The exciting news was that the first Celestial Warship was almost completed.
Owen Bertram spoke to Otis King again: “Have senior artisans temporarily set aside so people to refine a batch of Triple Heaven large-scale magical instrunts.”
Triple Heaven Rune Array Cannon.
Triple Heaven Heavy Crossbow.
Triple Heaven Long-arm Rune Launcher.
Once these items were delivered to the southern border, the small cities of Nanni Nation would be easily conquered, as long as they bombarded them ruthlessly, regardless of any runic arrays or determination they had.
How does the old saying go?
Achieve victory through fire-power coverage.
Now that the Flying Bear Army has money, they can sell these Triple Heaven large-scale magical instrunts to them at an increased price, taking a cut and making up for Owen Bertram’s Celestial Warship’s cost.
Unexpectedly, Otis King rebuked him: “Sir, aren’t you making it difficult for ?
Everyone is busy refining the Celestial Warship hectically.
Who should I assign this task to?
Whoever I choose will refuse, thinking that I’m deliberately making things difficult for them and setting them up!”
“Well…” Owen Bertram was left speechless.
But how could Owen Bertram personally refine these Triple Heaven large-scale magical instrunts?
Fortunately, a group of artificers from the Military Equipnt Departnt would soon arrive.
Otis King and the others decided without hesitation to throw this task to the new arrivals!
It was called “practicing.”
Although they were all forr colleagues, their current skills were a bit lacking.
They could start learning from the simpler Triple Heaven series, and once they caught up, they could work together to refine the second Celestial Warship.
As you can see, senior Otis King’s arrangent is very reasonable.
Everything was progressing smoothly and orderly, which made Owen Bertram feel fulfilled!
After five whole days, Donald Lee ca to find Owen Bertram.
Holding an account book in his hand, his face filled with excitent, he told Owen Bertram: “Everything has been negotiated, and the terms are very favorable to us…
”
The account book recorded everything.
According to Owen Bertram’s instructions, every rchant and bank that ca were given a share, the only difference being the amount.
Donald Lee understood Owen Bertram’s intentions.
Behind these large rchants and banks, there is a powerful background.
By bringing them all together, the benefits were obvious.
Donald Lee marveled at how Owen Bertram ca up with such an idea!
The war in the southern border was originally a problem, but now, thanks to Owen Bertram, it had beco a lucrative opportunity that everyone wanted a piece of!
Owen Bertram examined the accounts and picked out two: “You go speak with the Lannister Sect and Prince Anker.
I need them to provide so convenience within the jurisdiction of the East Prison Town Comfort Office.
In exchange, I can take so of the share from my portion and give it to them.”
