Chapter 718: Chester's Army Invades the Zaun Empire
It is said that in the early morning of that night, Chester's army attacked twelve Zaun outposts and launched a war. The troops were divided into three groups and advanced simultaneously, expanding the territory by a hundred miles overnight.
While the Zaun Empire was completely unaware of what was happening on the border, the country was still immersed in a joyous atmosphere of singing and dancing. However, just this morning, a silent war was quietly brewing.
About twenty small countries secretly sent their troops to participate in this battle in the name of the Kingdom of Chester. These troops were actually on their way to the battlefield, and their goal was to support the Kingdom of Chester.
All this was thanks to Viteta's diplomatic skills. According to Kabaeva's estimation, the 50,000 knights mobilized this time would become an important force in this war, and the huge cost would be borne entirely by Viteta.
For those small principalities, since there had been no wars for many years, their armaments had not been abandoned, but had been idle. Therefore, when they received the request from the Magic Island, they agreed without any hesitation.
After all, being able to earn a substantial commission by participating in the war while also training their own troops was a very good deal for them.
The reason why the royal families of these small principalities were willing to participate in the war was, on the one hand, that they hoped to temper their own armies through this war, and on the other hand, to earn a generous commission.
As for the outcome of the war, they didn't particularly care. As long as they could win the war and get a share of the Zaun Empire's land, all problems would be solved.
Moreover, once the commission is received, they can also train another group of knights as backup in case of emergency.
Two days later…
The activities of magicians are usually limited to indoors, and communication between them is mainly achieved through visits to each other.
However, some magicians would bring their wares here and do business on the spot to pass the time.
At this moment, Kabaeva walked in from outside. Her appearance attracted everyone's attention, because everyone knew that she had been busy outside and rarely had time to come back here.
Kabaeva's return meant that she had basically completed her plan. Her carefully planned plan was to let the secular army attack first, with only one purpose - to distract the enemy.
At the same time, the Zaun Empire was busy mobilizing troops and all its forces to rush to the border to quell the rebellion. They had no idea that all this was manipulated by the Magic Island, and only regarded it as an ordinary territorial dispute.
Kabaeva convened a meeting of representatives from all the magic associations, including Kashin and Zaire. Although Rosita had the fewest participants, she still sent representatives to the meeting.
Kashin asked Instructor Bayan to sit with him, wanting to hear how to fight, but he was still confused and didn't know how to start. There were only more than 30 people present from Magic Island, all representatives from various towers, and the others were representatives from various Magic Associations.
Not long after the three of them sat down, many people came to greet them. Because he had run a business and hunted down dark priests, he had become a celebrity.
So all these representatives came to chat, some wanted goods, some hoped to receive some armor orders, and some thanked Kashin for eliminating the shadow priest and saving their city-state...
Kashin talked to them very humbly and in a friendly manner. Speaking of alchemical armor, it is rare in the world to equip ordinary knights with anti-magic armor.
Moreover, the profit of this business is considerable, especially since Chester School of Magic has already taken over the order, and they attach great importance to this business. It happened that Kashen arrived at this time, and the school wanted to discuss related matters with him further after the meeting.
Kashin naturally understood their intentions. He smiled and said, "Okay, no need to say more. As long as I don't stop, you can just go ahead and make it! Of course, if the price is adjusted, I may need to consider it for a while."
Hearing Kashin's words, the other party was relieved and quickly responded: "That's great, Sir, you are financially strong. We will definitely try our best to increase the scale of production and guarantee your satisfaction! Moreover, we will also provide door-to-door delivery service~"
Kashin chuckled and continued, "However, my army is not yet fully staffed. Alas, since the Dark Priest spread the plague, the population has dropped sharply, which is really sad.
Moreover, the production cycle of armor is relatively long, so I would rather make it in advance as a backup than wait until it is needed to rush into production... Don't worry, just produce in large quantities, I will take as many as you can!"
In this way, the two sides basically reached a cooperation intention. Due to the scarcity of materials in the Pumasai region, the cost remained high, so the manufacturing of alchemical armor was subcontracted to magicians from several major countries.
Anyway, Sheld has always been on the elite route, and his requirement for equipment is to have all of it in place at once, and he doesn't care about spending a few extra gold coins.
Kashin had just sent a few magicians to sit down again, and Zaire said with a smile: "Brother Kashin, is it cheaper to place an order with them than on the Magic Island?"
"Of course it's much cheaper. You get what you pay for. The things on Magic Island are of higher quality. Their products are enough for ordinary knight equipment! What's more, they are standard equipment and mass-produced, so it doesn't matter!"
After a brief pause, Kashin continued, "At that time, I realized that our warriors would most likely be attacked by the Paladins, so we had to take some anti-magic protection measures! However, now it seems that the situation is more complicated than I thought. Maybe we will also face the threat from the magician!"
There was a hint of worry in his words, as if he was full of concern about the upcoming battle.
After hearing this, Mr. Zaire nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, things are unpredictable! It is definitely better to be fully prepared than to be unprepared! I am very optimistic about the plan of the Kashin brothers. You have really put in a lot of effort for your family!"
While the two were talking, a pair of eyes kept staring at Kashin, but did not come forward to say hello. The owner of these eyes was obviously here with some mission, and seemed to be waiting for the meeting to end before taking action.
At this time, Kabaeva's assistant came and said: "Dear colleagues, please be quiet for a moment. Master Kabaeva will be here soon to explain the battle situation. In short, thank you to all the major magic associations for cooperating with this operation!"
The meeting room gradually quieted down. Kashin took out his gold pen and diary, ready to record a log. After all, he would record the causes and consequences of every battle to facilitate the creation of novelists in the territory.
Sixty percent of the novels printed by the company are Kashin's adventure stories. They are very popular now. Novels are also one of the pillar industries of the territory and are very profitable. Of course, the material is very important...
So Kashin would write down the whole story of the war and then give it to the novelist. Now there are twelve novels on the market with him as the protagonist, and they seem to be becoming more and more popular. If conditions permit, they will be sold all over the world in time.
