I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 224 Power Game

Meiyi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile of disappointment, and said softly: "Master Alpha, your caution will certainly make you live longer, but it will also make you miss a lot of fun."

Alpha was silent for a moment, looking through the window at the twinkling stars in the night sky. He knew that every choice he made not only affected himself, but also the future of everyone around him. He must not put himself in unnecessary risks.

"Meiyi, I have more important matters to deal with. Now, I want you to complete a task." Alpha's voice suddenly became serious.

Meiyi immediately dropped her smile, her expression focused, and responded professionally, "Please give your orders, sir."

"I need you to closely monitor Sakata Gintoki's every move and make sure that our plan is not ruined by him. At the same time, I will arrange for other people to contact the two women without problems to see if they can get more information about the Orff family from them." Alpha began to outline a new strategy in his mind.

"I understand. I'll make arrangements immediately." Meiyi nodded with a serious expression. She knew very well that this revenge game had entered a new stage.

As the night deepened, the night wind in Cross added a hint of coolness. Alpha stood by the window, staring at the lights in the distance, his thoughts as complicated as the stars in the night sky. He knew that every step he was about to take was closely linked to the future and the fate of the people he loved. In this game of revenge, every chess piece could become the key, and he had to be cautious.

At this crucial meeting, Xiuli announced in a resounding voice: "The core issue of this meeting is to rename the Mining Union as the Mining Association and formally incorporate it into Cross's Free Trade Alliance." This decision was made after a week of intense debate. Everyone ignored Alpha's opinion without hesitation and resolutely decided to put the Mining Association's resources under the jurisdiction of Cross's Free Alliance. At present, the plan is limited to the area around Cross, that is, the Bess Mountain Mine owned by Alpha.

The final profit distribution plan is as follows: 20% of the profits will belong to the Free Alliance, 60% of the profits will be shared by members, and the remaining 20% ​​will be used exclusively for mining development. These people are trying to reap the benefits without investing a penny. In order to smoothly carry out mineral development, the Free Alliance generously provided five years of free development time, during which time all the developed materials will be used for overall construction. This is undoubtedly a well-planned wishful thinking.

Alpha did not have much objection to this. Xiuli continued to send personnel, while Alpha was responsible for providing funds and manpower. It seemed that only the two companies were accumulating strength for future development.

After the meeting, Guston of the Thames family and Javier of the Montgomery family came together to discuss weapons and equipment. In terms of equipment, Javier had already purchased equipment from the mining city, but they were now eager to obtain more advanced and sophisticated weapons, as well as magical firearms.

"Alpha, we are well aware that you have the ability to produce magic firearms, and even improved versions. We are in urgent need of purchasing in large quantities." Guston made clear the purpose of their visit.

"As long as you have enough funds, we are willing to sell it." Alpha realized that he could no longer hide the matter, so he simply agreed to sell it. However, he was full of surprise that all his secrets were known to the outside world. It seemed that he had to rectify the situation urgently.

"We can use resources for exchange, such as your mines as compensation." The representatives of the two families said arrogantly.

"My two lords, you are going too far. You haven't even taken over, but you are ready to give up? Do you want me to directly hand over my equipment and weapons in exchange?" Alpha had a grim face. He was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the two families.

"We have already discussed it. The agreement will only take effect after you send troops to garrison. Once the contract takes effect, you will transport the resources over and we can make an exchange." Alpha understood the other party's intentions, but he would never accept such unfair conditions.

Alpha needs to rely on the other party's family background to support himself, otherwise he will not share resources at all. However, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to get something for nothing.

"If you two want us to produce and transport by ourselves, then all previous contracts will be cancelled. I will look for other partners. Liv, show them out." Alpha's attitude was firm. He chose these two families because of the previous cooperation, but this did not mean that he had no other options.

"Lord Alpha, you misunderstood. What we mean is that we will mine and transport, and then exchange the resources. It's not what you think." Javier immediately changed his attitude. He realized that Alpha would not compromise easily.

"Lord Guston, is this what you mean?" Alpha turned his gaze to Guston, who had been silent all the time. He wanted to confirm Guston's attitude.

"Yes, of course we will be stationed at the mine." Guston knew that it was impossible to continue to exploit Alpha, so he had to give up this plan.

The next step is the bargaining process. Alpha clearly marks the prices of supplies and weapons to avoid excessive price fluctuations.

In Alpha's mining city, Javier discovered an amazing giant machine. This behemoth, several hundred meters long, moved slowly on the rails like a giant dragon, accompanied by bursts of steam and clanging sounds. It could transport a large amount of materials at a time, and its powerful transportation capacity shocked Javier.

Javier was very interested in this magical invention. He immediately asked Alpha: "Alpha, what is this magical machine? It is so huge and can transport so many materials! Can you produce such a machine for us?"

Alpha smiled and replied, "You mean the steam locomotive? Of course, we can provide the relevant technology, and you can produce and plan the construction yourself." The technology he was referring to was the rails that supported the operation of the steam locomotive. As for the steam locomotive, Alpha was also willing to sell it as a whole.

Javier was very satisfied with Alpha's generosity. He continued to ask: "Then how should I discuss with the mining city?"

Alpha said without hesitation: "Don't worry about that, I will inform the mining city in advance. I will not keep the new technology too secret. Only by attracting more people to participate can this technology be better developed and promoted." Alpha knows that technological advancement requires cooperation and sharing. Only by cooperating with more people can this technology realize its maximum potential.

Javier admired Alpha's foresight and open attitude, and he knew that working with Alpha would bring them great opportunities. He couldn't wait to discuss the details of the cooperation with the mining city and start this promising project together.

In the days to come, Javier and the mining city will work closely together to produce and build steam trains. This new technology will change the way they transport materials and bring new impetus and opportunities for their development. And Alpha's generous sharing will also bring more progress and development to the entire society, promoting the continuous innovation and development of technology.

The night was shrouded in silence. Alpha stood in front of the office window like a sculpture, his eyes piercing through the endless darkness, staring at the vast starry sky. The scene of the meeting during the day was replayed in his mind like a movie. He knew that it was time to re-examine his security measures. He must protect his technology and resources and never let the outside world take advantage of him.

"Lord Alpha, we really need to strengthen intelligence gathering and security precautions." Meiyi's voice was like a thunder, breaking the silence of the night, and her figure gradually emerged from the darkness.

"That's right. We need to conduct a comprehensive internal investigation and never let go of anyone who may have leaked confidential information." Alpha's tone was firm. He knew he had to act decisively.

"I will make arrangements immediately and make sure every link is under our control." Meiyi responded respectfully, and then blended into the night like a ghost.

Alpha turned back to the table. Under the light, his figure looked particularly resolute. He immersed himself in making a new plan, and every word condensed his wisdom and determination. Alpha knew that this game of power had just begun, and he had to respond with a more wise and alert attitude to defend his own interests and protect everything he cherished.

In the days that followed, Alpha remained highly vigilant, keeping a close eye on every move of the Mining Association. He strengthened his ties with other families and formed a closer alliance to ensure that his position in the Free Trade Alliance was rock solid.

At the same time, Alpha ordered Meiyi and her team to conduct a detailed background check on every member of the Orff family, leaving no details unchecked. They used magic and advanced technology to monitor everyone in all directions, and never allowed any information to leak out.

At a crucial meeting, Alpha discussed the current tense security situation with his advisers with a serious expression. He stressed in a serious tone: "We must always remain highly vigilant and never allow the enemy to take advantage of us."

An advisor reported firmly, "Yes, Lord Alpha. We have greatly strengthened the security of the mine and installed the most advanced monitoring equipment in all key locations."

Alpha recognized this progress, but he knew it was far from enough. He gave a key instruction: "Very good, but we still need to work harder. I expect to establish a professional intelligence team that is responsible for analyzing the dynamics of hostile forces and accurately predicting the actions they may take."

Meiyi responded quickly: "Understood, I will immediately organize the relevant personnel to ensure that this group can operate efficiently."

With the gradual implementation of these effective measures, the safety of the Orff family has been significantly improved. Alpha feels a little relieved, but he also understands that this fierce struggle is far from over, and he must always be prepared to meet new challenges.

Behind this intricate power game, everyone is carefully planning and laying out for the future. Alpha knows that only by constantly strengthening his own strength can he win this cruel game. He looked out the window again, the starry sky was still bright, but his heart was full of perseverance and determination.

"Meiyi, are there any results on the investigation into those mutant legions?" Alpha's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, fixed on Meiyi.

There was a hint of urgency in Alpha's voice, because the appearance of these mutant legions had caused panic across the continent, and even the Holy See had been affected.

Alpha knew that if he didn't find out their origins as soon as possible, the whole continent might fall into chaos. However, he was not ready to deal with this crisis and had to prepare for it.

"So far, we still haven't found any trace of them. Since you arrived in Cross City, this new force seems to have disappeared." Meiyi's tone was a little helpless, and her eyes revealed deep worry. Alpha has stayed in Cross City for more than half a month, but there has been no progress in the investigation of the mutant army.

"I understand." Alpha nodded, and a sense of responsibility surged in his heart. He knew that he could no longer sit and wait for death. After careful consideration, he decided to return to Beth New City.

In the New City of Beth, Alpha can better deploy resources and send an additional rifle team to Cross to strengthen the monitoring of the mutant army. Alpha looked at Meiyi and said solemnly: "You must remain highly vigilant and closely observe the movements around you. If you encounter an enemy that you cannot resist, do not hesitate, evacuate immediately and ensure your own safety."
