Chapter 170 Takezawa Yuko
Zhang Wei did not respond, as he knew very well that the other legions of the empire just wanted to make fun of the Western Legion of the empire.
Everyone knows it, but no one will break the window paper.
So Zhang Wei said to Junpei Miyajima directly: "These rumors are absolutely ridiculous!"
If they really have the energy, why don't they build a fortress in the north of their own city of Newt to resist the attacks of the Southern Empire's Legion?
Instead, we have to go to great lengths to build a fortress for the Desert Scimitar.
Then, Zhang Wei analyzed: "Besides, the biggest advantage of the Desert Scimitars is that they can divide their troops into small units and skillfully use the desert and oasis to deal with the imperial army. So, what benefits can they gain by building a fortress on the border? Is it like Lionheart Fort, providing you with a fixed base?"
Zhang Wei's explanation was indeed quite convincing, and Junpei Miyajima nodded frequently in agreement.
In fact, Junpei Miyajima didn't care whether these rumors were true or not. The reason he paid attention to this matter was entirely because it involved his own interests.
Certain stakeholders used the business between him and Zhang Wei as a bargaining chip and forced him to convey this news to Zhang Wei.
Now that Zhang Wei has clearly denied it, Junpei Miyajima doesn't care what the truth is. It is enough for him to pass on his message to the person who threatens him.
When Zhang Wei and Xun Chen were heading towards Chunping Port, they were suddenly blocked by a group of imperial cavalry.
The cavalry captain reined in his horse and shouted, "Is that Mr. Zhang Wei in front?"
Faced with this sudden question, Zhang Wei did not panic, but responded calmly: "It is me, what can I do for you?"
The cavalry captain blocked the way with an expressionless face and continued, "Our corps commander invites you. Please move over to see him."
Hearing this, Zhang Wei pondered in his heart, but his face showed no fear. With his current strength, it would not be difficult to deal with the imperial cavalry in front of him. However, since the other party had invited him, it was likely that they had interests to discuss. So, he nodded and agreed readily: "Okay!"
Afterwards, Zhang Wei followed the group of cavalrymen to a gentle hillside outside the town of Tris.
On the hillside, Yuko Takezawa stood quietly, followed closely by dozens of well-equipped heavy cavalry.
And in the sky, there was a flying team consisting of twelve Pegasus knights hovering and patrolling.
Yuko Takezawa knew very well that these troops alone could not pose a substantial threat to Zhang Wei, but the purpose of her action was not to threaten Zhang Wei himself.
Today, the original combat power system has collapsed, and all kinds of people with high combat power have emerged like mushrooms after rain.
At the same time, because the goddesses opened up a new world level, when everyone has not yet reached the maximum level, the previously neglected human wave tactics have become crucial again.
Therefore, by demonstrating the empire's powerful military strength, Takezawa Yuko hopes to convey a message to Zhang Wei - although personal force may be crucial, any individual is insignificant in the face of the huge state machine.
She believed that doing so might make Zhang Wei more cautious in making certain decisions.
As expected, Zhang Wei's face was expressionless, but his heart was already turbulent.
When he walked to Takezawa Yuko and looked at the town of Tris in the distance, his mood became heavier.
He gazed at the densely packed semi-permanent military camps in the distance and watched the imperial soldiers conducting daily training therein, and couldn't help feeling worried.
Just as he had long worried, the Southern Legion of the Empire still retained extremely strong combat power and had not yet been put into battle.
At this moment, Zhang Wei and the Blood Moon Cult have actually almost exhausted all their resources.
"Mr. Commander, what do you want to discuss with me?" Zhang Wei asked Takezawa Yuko.
"I heard that Mr. Zhang Wei is quite interested in business. I would like to discuss business matters with you." Takezawa Yuko stated her intention directly.
In fact, Takezawa Yuko has a lot of grievances but cannot express them in words. Now she has to cooperate with Zhang Wei in business to earn money to maintain military expenses. The initiator of all this is the group of rulers of Whakatani City.
Originally, Catani City was supposed to be responsible for supplying military supplies to the Southern Legion, but they often found various excuses to delay delivery, and even completely cut off military supplies after Takezawa Yuko captured Lionheart Castle!
"What's in it for me?" Zhang Wei thought to himself.
When he heard Takezawa Yuko express her desire to do business with him, he instantly understood - this female general must be in financial trouble.
In this case, if Takezawa Yuko cannot offer chips that satisfy Zhang Wei, then why should he save the enemy's army?
After all, wouldn't it be more profitable for Zhang Wei to just sit back and watch it perish?
However, Takezawa Yuko was clearly well prepared. She quickly put forward three conditions:
First, Takezawa Yuko promised that her army would not actually attack Zhang Wei's army, and she would focus her main attack on the Blood Moon Cult.
She explained that she knew that the Blood Moon Cult had been trying to get on board with Zhang Wei, but had been firmly rejected. As for the source of this information, Takezawa Yuko told Zhang Wei not to ask.
Then, Takezawa Yuko suggested that she could ask the great emperor of the empire to grant Zhang Wei the title on her behalf.
Once the empire successfully annexed the kingdom's territory, the area occupied by Zhang Wei would be declared his personal territory.
Faced with this condition, Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel doubtful - this was simply an illusory pie in the sky, and it was really hard to be convincing.
Finally, regarding the issue of profit distribution, Takezawa Yuko suggested a 40%-60% split, with Zhang Wei taking 60% and she getting 40%.
In response, Zhang Wei said without hesitation that the ratio should be changed to 70:30, and he wanted to take 70% of the share.
But Takezawa Yuko disagreed. Her military finances were on the verge of collapse, and she urgently needed to obtain a large and stable income as soon as possible. The town of Tris she built did not have the dungeon bestowed by the goddess, but because of the sincere prayers of King Sacred Heart, the goddess cancelled the dungeon in Lionheart Castle.
This resulted in the two cities she actually controlled having no underground resources to supply the army. If it weren't for the traitors within the empire who betrayed the interests of the empire and restricted her army's march southward, she would not have wanted to do business with Zhang Wei, such a strong rival!
After Zhang Wei and Takezawa Yuko bargained for a while, Zhang Wei suddenly agreed because he had obtained the information he wanted, which was that Takezawa Yuko's finances were almost exhausted. Zhang Wei did not have the strength to kill this tiger with one blow, and naturally did not want to force this tiger, which was almost out of food, to eat him.
