The arranged barbecue grill was not removed, but the octopus sea monster meat was replaced with dragon meat.

The workers on the fishing boat took chainsaws to start cutting the octopus monster's corpse. Magic crystals, octopus monster's ink sacs, and octopus monster's teeth are all good magic materials. The only pity is that the meat is not delicious, but Link felt that the magic power existed in the octopus monster's flesh, which should be some kind of magic material.

As for what it is, the magician needs to do the corresponding experiment. Maybe a new magic potion will be created because of the flesh and blood of the octopus monster.

Such a big octopus monster was pulled onto the boat, and the fishing boat returned with a full load this time. It was not that it had a load capacity of thousands of tons, and the largest wooden boat in the world could not accommodate such a large octopus monster.

However, when it was sold, I encountered another problem. This octopus monster was too big, with magic crystals, ink capsules, and teeth, but the octopus monster's meat could not be sold at a good price.

Except for some poisonous monster meat, this situation is rare for monsters. The meat of the octopus monster is not poisonous. If you want to chew it, you really need to have a good tooth and eloquence.

Link also tried it. The meat of the octopus monster needs to be cooked in a pot for more than seven or eight hours, so it will not be so difficult to chew.

However, Link didn't want to sell it at a low price. Link had tasted the meat of this octopus monster himself. In addition to the taste is not good, the nutritional value and energy contained are basically the same as the dragon meat of an adult dragon.

If you sell it at a low price, wouldn’t it be a loss? Of course, Link himself definitely doesn’t want to eat it, but how many people in this world can eat dragon meat?

Still want to bargain? There is no door.

If it weren't for the bad taste, Link wouldn't be ready to sell it.

Because the psychological price difference between Link is too much, Link does not even sell the magic crystals and ink capsules of the octopus monster. He only sells some of the octopus monster's teeth, and uses a 10% discount on the rewards. He sells a small amount of octopus monster's meat, and states that it takes ten hours to boil it in water to eat.

As Link, who can be eaten with dragon meat, these octopus monsters are all pity whether they have any meat. However, for many people, especially those who fight, the octopus monster's meat is probably the best monster meat they can buy.

The remaining octopus monster meat was sent by Link to the ice warehouse in the port to be frozen, and he was ready to sell it for a high price when someone could eat the octopus monster meat.

However, Link's beautiful wish was soon defeated by reality.

The reason is very simple, it's time to fight.

Not only the Principality of Zeland, but the entire continent is about to fight.

The reason why there has been no war on the mainland recently was that the new continent was developed, and many people went to the new continent to work hard to alleviate the war caused by population pressure, but the war caused by population pressure has played a positive role.

However, during the discovery of the New World, the seven countries on the western coast of the mainland, and other countries in the mainland occupied more or less colonies on the New World.

However, the largest and best colonies must have been occupied first by the nearby seven coastal countries in the western coastal countries. There are more than a dozen coastal countries left on the mainland, and they can only occupy some territories in the corners of the New World.

Moreover, there are more than a dozen inland countries, which have no colonies at all, so they have to export the cheapest human resources and drink some leftover soup in the development of the New World.

The mainland parliament has been shouting in recent years: open doors and jointly develop.

This principle is to let the seven western coastal countries share a piece of cake for everyone to eat. However, the seven western coastal countries are not stupid, so how could they play open doors and jointly develop their own colonies in the New World? There is no door.

Since ancient times, the ultimate truth of human society is: not to worry about lack of people but to worry about inequality.

The seven western coastal countries, which obtained the richest colonies of the New World, soon flourished rapidly because of the resources and wealth obtained by the colonies. The national strength was also booming.

In the past, those inland countries could also get a piece of cake from the wealth of the New World through national pirates. However, after the seven countries on the western coastal coastal teamed up to fight pirates, the pirate activities of the New World fell to the bottom.

National pirates are originally a little subsidy for their own finances by inland countries. After almost all the national pirates were destroyed, more than a dozen inland countries could no longer sit still and began to secretly connect. After a year and a few months, an agreement was finally reached - there are many contents of this agreement. The most important one is that the mainland countries must reach an open door policy for the New World, otherwise they will be enemies.

To the enemy, we naturally talk to him with a knife.

For the seven western coastal countries, this kind of thing is simply unreasonable.

As a result, the fourteen inland countries opened the door to officially declare war on the seven coastal countries.

The war came so quickly. Link had basically heard no news before, but this kind of thing was basically a decision between the top leaders of various countries.

Not to mention that Link felt that the war came suddenly, even the seven countries along the western coast felt that the war came too suddenly - life was good, although there were some conflicts in normal times, this was the first time to fight.

As the war comes, one thing is that the country has issued wartime laws, and no daily necessities on the market are allowed to be hoarded, and price increases are even more unavailable.

Another change for Link is that the State of Zeland also added a six percent war tax.

Although the Kingdom of Zeland is rich, how can I say that when the war starts, the gold coins spent are calculated in millions. The king's family has no surplus food. Although the treasury of the Kingdom of Zeland is still sufficient, it is temporary. After the Kingdom of Zeland enters a state of war, it first transfers the most elite front-line troops in the country to the border area.

Several second-tier corpses of the State of Zeland also began to train more rigorously, rather than farming and herding cattle every day as before.

For many people, a good day is over.

The State of Zeland is still replacing several reserves with only officers, and is preparing to fill up the troops, and has hired a large number of mercenaries and mages in China.

To put it in an old saying, the wheels of war begin to turn, and those who stand in front of it will be ruthlessly crushed.

Although the octopus monster meat here is not good, it is highly nutritious and energy-efficient. The remaining hundreds of tons of octopus monster meat were all purchased by the military at a discount of 100% off.

For the military, they don’t care whether the soldiers and officers eat meat with the same taste as rubber balls. They only care about the cheap price and sufficient nutrition and energy. The meat of the octopus monster has become the best choice.

At this time, if Link doesn't sell it, he will be named a traitor and then directly confiscated the property.

If Link takes action, the State of Zeland will probably collapse from within.

Fortunately, Link is also a person who respects public order and good customs very much.

Link also wanted to see what the future of the State of Zeland would be like in this war of the great era.

News in the newspapers is good news every day. I will annihilate 300 enemies today and defeat 200 enemies tomorrow.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that these are just tentative wars and their own losses are never reported. Otherwise, there will be no losses. In newspapers where the country and the great nobles control the right to speak, they will naturally choose to report good news rather than bad news at such moments.

While the war was still in the tentative stage, the business of the shipping company under Link was also getting better. In the past, the two paddle steamers under Link could only be said to be able to make some money - this is relative to the seafood company.

As the war began, the shipping companies under Link's name adjusted their shipping rates to the New World, just like other shipping companies - an increase of 50%. However, the occupancy rate of 60% to 70% of the time has become the current full. Even reservations are full.

Some nobles and merchants felt that it was difficult to say that the winner was a loss in war, not to mention that this was the Seven Kingdoms Alliance and the other side was the Fourteen Kingdoms Alliance. Even if the seven countries along the western coast were a little richer, one-on-two were still in a weak position.

The war is fierce and the business needs to be done, but there is no need for family members to stay in China at this time. The New World usually looks more dangerous, but now it seems that it is much safer than in China.

Originally, the development of the colony of the New World was to reserve a way out, but now it is finally time to use it.

Although many people in the State of Zeland feel that today's newspapers only report good news but not bad news, on the front line, it is indeed the troops of the State of Zeland that press the enemies of the Kingdom of Valen on the other side of the border to rub against the ground.

Although this war was made by the coalition of the 14-National Alliance against the seven western coastal countries, for the alliance of the seven western coastal countries, they all fought themselves. For the coalition of the 14-National Alliance, it was not simply two to fight one.

At the beginning of the negotiations, the fourteen landlocked countries decided to concentrate the troops of three to five countries and concentrate on attacking one or two western coastal countries. The remaining countries can be fought slowly.

The reason for this is that the seven western coastal countries are much richer than inland countries. Now, because of the years of immigration, population and national strength from various countries, they are far more than any inland country.

Even if it is two against one, the coalition forces formed by these inland countries dare not say that they are sure to win.

It is very simple to be sure to win, that is, concentrate your strength and fight one or two first. In this way, the remaining countries will definitely suffer some losses in the one-on-one environment in the early stage. However, as the defensive side, even if the troops are less and weaker, they will not be able to hold on.

Among the seven western coastal countries, the Shelley Kingdom was under key attack. Now the Shelley Kingdom is competing with the invading five-nation coalition forces. Among the seven western coastal countries, the Shelley Kingdom is relatively capable of fighting. However, it cannot withstand the joint invasion of the five national coalition forces.

In the newspapers of Shelley Country, there is no good news at all, only bad news is left. Either one loses a battle today or one city is captured every day.

There is a reason why the fourteen inland countries attacked Shelley first, that is, Shelley is the northernmost country of the seven western coastal countries. If the first focus on attacking Shelley, at most there is only one country that can support Shelley, that is, Shelley's neighbor Moor. Among the fourteen-nation coalition forces, the second focus on attacking Moor is the Moor.

The Moor State bordering the south of Shelley is now competing with the invading Three Kingdoms coalition forces. It cannot withdraw troops to support Shelley. Although the Moor State did not lose a city for a few days, it did not dare to send out a large army to fight the enemy in a decisive battle. The opponent's troops were more than twice that of the Moor State. The Moors were not brave enough to fight, and they were good at doing business. Although the Moors showed great courage in this war to defend their homes, the Moors' way was to defend to the death and then ask for help.

The State of Zeland, which borders the south of Moor, can send troops to Moor to help Moor resist the invasion at most. If Moor does not provide help, the State of Zeland's troops will not be able to enter the Shelley Kingdom, which needs reinforcements the most. Moreover, the State of Zeland can send only two legions now. Even if it enters Shelley, it will not have decisive significance to the war of Shelley.

Although the Moore Kingdom is more difficult now, it is the limit for one person to fight two and a half. If it is replaced by Shelley Kingdom, one person will fight four enemies. No one can see the chance of winning. Even the Shelley people themselves.

After the State of Zeland stabilized the border war and saw that the enemy Valen was preparing to exchange land for time, he took the initiative to send two second-tier legions into the territory of Moore to help his neighbors resist the invasion. At this time, the senior management of the State of Zeland knew very well that helping the neighbors was to help themselves.

Not only did the State of Zeland transfer two 50,000 troops into the State of Moor, but it also opened its borders to provide food and supplies, and sent the four legions of the four southern countries along the western coast to the territory of Moor.

For the senior executives of the four southern countries who sent reinforcements along the western coast, it is better to ruin other people's homes than to ruin their own homes.

In the third month of the war, most people in the country thought that the war was just like this. The worst news came from Shelley's country that the entire territory of Shelley had been captured by the coalition forces of the five countries.

The king of Shelley, with the 100,000 guards who had been reorganized three times, retreated into the territory of Moore, along with the Shelley royal family, some nobles and wartime cabinets.

The king of Shelley was also a ruthless man. Seeing that he had basically no chance to compete with the five-nation coalition forces, he voluntarily withdrew from Shelley City after the city was destroyed, and after confirming that he had left nothing useful to the enemy, he voluntarily withdrew from Shelley City.

Before the war began, the Shelley Guards Legion had only 50,000 people. After the war began, some reserves were recruited to join the Guards Legion, making the Guards Legion a population of 100,000. The four major legions of Shelley were all expanded in this way.
