Chapter 40: Train Yourself
What everyone doesn't understand is that Cage started a new round of abuse on himself, practicing guns and swordsmanship in the martial arts field every day. As the saying goes: "One year of boxing, one month of sticks, and long-term gun training", it not only shows that gun skills are the most difficult to practice among all the weapons used, but also shows that gun skills must be practiced unremittingly every day. As a martial arts enthusiast, Cage has great respect for swordsmanship and gun skills. There are many ways to practice gun skills. It is to practice basic movements and make them smooth and natural. Only then can it be barely considered to be up to standard. Sword skills are more about having a sword in your heart without a sword in your hand. Because he particularly likes these two weapons, Cage even studied Tai Chi sword and Yang family spear seriously in his previous life, and was familiar with the moves in them. However, there is definitely a difference in actual martial arts fighting. Only when the foundation is more solid, the level of skills will be higher.
Practicing with the tip of the gun to pick up a huge iron ball is the most basic. Basic movements such as gun flowers and stabbing are necessary. Cage practices one magic hour of basic gun training every day, plus half a magic hour of swordsmanship practice. Cage's practice also surprised House, Saul, and Bill. Two completely different types of kung fu were displayed on Cage. Tai Chi sword emphasizes the use of static to control dynamic, and one strike will kill, but the moves must be round and continuous. Yang family spear emphasizes the technique, and fast, accurate and ruthless are the most basic characteristics. During the whole practice process, the spear danced a layer of golden light on Cage's body, and it looked like he was in a big ball of light. Cage even bought a super good magic horse to practice horse spear skills. After all, horse fighting is the key. Ordinary magic horses cannot carry Cage and the gun. It must be a very excellent magic horse breed, so Cage spent a lot of money to buy a good horse.
The three people were eye-opening and practiced with Cage every day. The two brothers Saul used the Dragon Shouwu Golden Spear as a tool to practice strength. They can dance the Dragon Shouwu Golden Spear without using fighting spirit, and also practice the skills they learned from Cage.
In the blink of an eye, Cage is fifteen years old and almost an adult. Through unremitting exercise, Cage's height is almost close to 1.9 meters, taller than his brothers, which makes Cage very proud. In his previous life, he was bullied because of his short stature. Now, haha, it is still quite enjoyable.
Cage is very busy every day. In the morning, he has to practice gunmanship and swordsmanship, in the evening, he has to practice yoga and his own exercises. In the afternoon, he is either at the racecourse or in the casino to supervise the recent situation. Various businesses have been regularized, allowing Cage's gold coins to accumulate continuously. Just as Windsor thought, Cage did not expect that he was already a billionaire.
"Your Highness, have you come out with any good works recently?" Vidi has been circling around Cage. Cage is his God of Wealth!
"I am not in the mood for the time being. I don't want to create new things." Cage said with a smile.
Vidi is the exclusive agent of Cage's weapons. Every time Cage makes a weapon, he will give it to Vidi for sale. Cage only tells him the cost and how much to sell it for. He decides by himself. The profit earned can be divided into 70% and 30% by the two. Cage can get 70% of the profit. However, it seems that the auction price of weapons made by Cage is very high. 100,000 gold coins are the cheapest. Although only five weapons have been released during this period, they have earned millions of gold coins. Cage's weapons conquer buyers with quality and appearance. Not only are they of high quality, but they also have exquisite appearance and very expensive materials. What makes Vidi very strange is that the more expensive they are, the more people buy them. Vidi has also gained a lot of money from them, and his wallet is much fatter than before.
"Your Highness, the east has been unstable recently. The Baiting Empire has been stationing troops on the border. I guess they want to fight." Vidi said worriedly.
Cage also knew about this. The Baiting Empire was also a medium-sized country, and it had always been at odds with the Reis Empire. Their country had a genius military strategist, the only princess of their country, Reina. Cage had learned about the recent movements of the Baiting Empire and had attacked three similar countries nearby. Not only did he win a great victory, but he also suffered little loss and gained a large area of land. Because all these battles were fought by the princess, Reina became one of the twenty most famous generals on the continent. Reina herself was also a level seven warrior, and what was even more rare was that she was only sixteen years old, very young.
Cage smiled and said, "It's useless for us to worry, we don't have any fighting power!" Cage was a man without any force, so of course he couldn't go to the battlefield. As the head of the family's business, Vidi certainly wouldn't have any chance to go to the battlefield. Even if he was given the opportunity, I believe the Prime Minister would push this matter out. The military has been very nervous during this period, fearing attacks, and constantly setting up garrisons along the way.
"I'm worried that our business in the east will be affected." Vidi would not worry about the war. If the sky falls, there will be tall people to support it. He doesn't need to worry.
"I think the impact will not be big. If there is a war, order them to close their business urgently. Even if they are occupied by other countries, they can still do business. It's nothing more than paying more money." Cage smiled slightly. Anyway, he didn't care about these businesses. They were all meaningless businesses, especially casinos. Sooner or later, people in this world would find out about the problems. Banning is an inevitable result.
The casino business has been expanding over the years and has extended to most of the continent. Many senior officials from various countries have joined this profitable industry. Although their profits abroad are a little less, they still have them. Even if a city has a monthly income of 10,000 gold coins, a country has an income of hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and tens of millions of gold coins a year. There are ten countries whose annual income has exceeded 100 million. Clubs are of course a very good business. Because they cannot be imitated, the profits are very high. This also results in a very good relationship between the top nobles of various countries. Nothing can happen, and it will definitely not affect the business.
At this time, the one who was more annoyed was Reis XII. He had been attending court these days to discuss the problem. Reina was very strong. No top-ranked general in the Reis Empire could resist Reina. You should know that the general of one of the countries defeated by Reina was one of the top 20 on the continent. That war was also the one in which Reina suffered the most losses, but she still won in the end.
While these people were having a headache, Cage was still living his life leisurely. Anyway, he didn't need to worry. Recently, he was still thinking about new ways to play.
While the ministers were still considering whether there would be any problems, three cities were taken from the eastern border in succession, and Reis had already been beaten into the country. The court was shocked. This time, the Byting Empire dispatched 100,000 troops, and the troops were pointed directly at the imperial capital. People in the court and the people were panicked.
Reis XII wisely sent Ryan, the strongest general in the court, to lead 100,000 troops, while Duke Cato, who had the highest prestige in the military circles of the court, stayed in the imperial capital. The sixth prince and the eldest prince also went with the army. Cage knew that this might be the end. Although the two major forces would boost morale on the surface, they actually hindered the general's performance. In the ever-changing battlefield, more troubles were caused by asking for instructions and delays.
The relationship between the Baiting Empire and the Reis Empire has always been very bad, and the border issue in the east has not been resolved. The most important reason is that there is an open-air iron mine in this place, which is a strategic resource, and fighting is inevitable.
Keith did not attend the court meeting this time because he was not qualified. Cage analyzed the characteristics of Rena's use of troops. She was a bit like Hitler, who loved to use blitzkrieg. The battles in the other four countries were basically lightning attacks, mostly cavalry. Cavalry was mainly used to hedge the opponent's troops on the plains, and infantry was used to attack the city. From the perspective of her strength, there are a large number of magicians in her troops, and high-level warriors should account for a considerable proportion. The attack was planned by her for a long time. It seems that this reinforcement is in danger.
As expected by Cage, Ryan and his troops were ambushed outside the city of Ruhr, and the whole army was defeated. Ryan fought desperately and retreated back to the imperial capital with tens of thousands of soldiers with the eldest prince and the sixth prince. Reis XII was so angry that his scalp almost exploded, and half of his hair turned white overnight.
"What do you think we should do?" Reis XII roared loudly in the palace, and his anger grew even stronger when he saw the people below were as quiet as cicadas.
This time Cage was asked to participate. After all, he was the prince of the empire, and he must contribute to the country at this critical moment.
"Your Highness, this time I beg you to lead 150,000 elite soldiers to intercept." Cato, who was almost 80 years old, still had tiger eyes and full of momentum.
Of course, Reis wanted to send Cato. There was no general in the country who could compete with Reina. If Cato went, it was almost a must-win. If he lost, it would mean that no one in the Reis Empire could compete with them, and the Reis Empire would be in danger.
"Father, I also agree that Duke Cato should go. There is no general in the country who can compete with Reina. We can only fight to the death this time." The fourth prince said loudly.
"Your Majesty, I think we should defend the city now and send a negotiation team to negotiate. It is most important to be able to gain stability in the empire with smaller benefits. If we fail to win this battle, there will be a danger of the country's destruction." Windsor shouted.
