In midsummer of September, the Demacia Evil Alliance, composed of orcs and ogres, was finally officially established in the remote Ice and Fire Islands. Although at the beginning of its establishment, this evil alliance, which was later called the "Sea Nightmare", had only more than one hundred members, more than a dozen desolate and barren coral islands, and even the first meeting was held in a straw shed.

What’s amazing is that after a friendly fight between the orcs and ogres, Lin Taiping, who was originally just drinking tea and watching the fun, was actually elected as the first league speaker. Angelina and the orcs had no objection to this, and the ogres also agreed. In the words of giant teeth, it was - "Lin, I believe you more than those bastards...what, you said you are not a dark creature, it doesn’t matter, are you not the son-in-law of the Taurus tribe?"

Your uncle! Which bastard likes to spread gossip so much?

Lin Taiping was so moved that he burst into tears. He could only solemnly extend his hand, take the Alliance seal temporarily carved with radishes from Angelina, and dipped some fresh beast blood into the soup pot with giant teeth as ink paste. He found a few pieces of white paper and stamped it continuously, and officially issued a series of resolutions of the Demacia League.

The first thing to do in these resolutions is naturally to gather people to explore the Ice and Fire Islands. In the next whole month, he took orcs and ogres on a boat and ran through dozens of coral islands within the Ice and Fire Islands, investigated the geographical environment and resource status of each island, and formulated a rough and simple map.

Because I really don't want to name it, dozens of coral islands are directly written with numbers. For example, the frozen island where the Deep Ice Cave is located is irresponsibly named Islands One, the nearby volcanic island is named Islands Two, and the rocky island that is clicked over is named Islands Three. And so on, it continues to be written until the archipelago 36 is declared complete.

As expected, these thirty-six coral islands are all desolate islands with poor resources, but if they all have no gains, it may not be possible-

For example, relying entirely on the "free demolition" of the Blood Whale, Archipelago One has now become flat and naturally becomes the future main island of the Demacia Alliance, with the deep ice cave hidden underground as the meeting hall. Lin Taiping directed the dark creatures to work day and night, started construction on the island, and initially built temporary hamlets, blacksmith shops, material warehouses and tribal camps, which can accommodate nearly a thousand people.

In fact, according to Lin Taiping's plan, the construction of the island surface is only a temporary transition. When the conditions are ripe, he will try to dig out the ice-covered fortress hidden underground. It is conceivable that this ice-covered fortress, which once belonged to the dark dynasty, will become the real base camp of the Demacia Alliance. Even if the Duke of Bloodsay leads the armed fleet to launch a large-scale attack, it may not be easily broken.

In addition, the remaining thirty-five coral islands also brought more or less surprises. For example, the southeast of the archipelago, which is covered by volcanic clouds all year round, is actually a valley with warm seasons hidden. The volcanic ash accumulated in the valley for hundreds of years is obviously the best fertilizer. Angelina and the orcs are busy all day long. They transplant and cultivate a large number of plants in the valley, which makes them no longer need to worry about the source of medicinal materials when developing the pharmaceutical industry in the future.

In addition, on Islands 6, there is a huge fire-type magic rabbit. In the waters near Islands 12, there are quite a lot of fish resources, which provides the dark creatures with enough food sources, especially Giant Teeth. Since learning cooking with Lin Taiping, this guy has begun to practice with these monsters and fish. Although he complains every time, when will the Blood Whale be repaired, he goes out to rob and catches a few humans back to make pie...

Speaking of the Blood Whale, this terrifying warship that once belonged to the Duke of Bloods, has now been renamed "The Blood Queen" and is anchored near the sea to wait for repair. You must know that during that night's sneak attack, most of the deck of the Blood Queen was completely destroyed, and the towers and cabins were seriously damaged. According to Angelina's estimate, even with complete materials, it would take at least several months to make the terrifying warship reappear.

Because of this, in order to take the Blood Queen to go out to sea to sunbathe as soon as possible, Lin Taiping immediately sent a magical message and commissioned Mr. Crent and the black merchants to purchase a large amount of materials... Of course, in order to keep the secret of the Ice and Fire Islands, he wisely agreed with the black merchants that all future transactions will be carried out on Blue Shan Island, and he also spent a lot of money to rent several merchant ships as temporary means of transportation.

By the way, in addition to the repair materials for the Blood Queen, Lin Taiping also ordered a large number of cultivation resources from the black merchants, because the dark creatures have been on the verge of promotion and breakthrough through this period of combat training. To be optimistic, with sufficient resources, Angelina can be promoted to the middle-level black iron mage at any time, and ordinary orcs and ogres only need to work hard for two or three months to break through the bronze peak and reach the early level of black iron.

All in all, everything is beautiful, everything is moving towards a bright future, except-

"Bankruptcy?" Two months later, Lin Taiping, who was sitting in the deep ice cave, was suddenly filled with surprise, "Puff, what does bankruptcy mean? If I remember correctly, our pharmaceutical business has been booming recently, and the sales of comics are getting higher and higher. Miranda can draw ninety comics a day now..."

"What do you think?" Angelina held a lot of books and looked at him with a resentful look on her face. "Kobayashi, we make a lot of money, but we spend money faster, just throwing gold coins into the sea. Do you know how much money it costs us just to repair the Blood Queen?"

Well, that's the truth. Just look at the bloody expenditure figures on the account book, Angelina has the urge to hit and die on the ice wall. It costs money to build a temporary base, it costs money to feed orcs and ogres, it costs money to buy supplies and rent merchant ships, it costs money to repair the Blood Queen, it costs money to just that damn magic sail mast... it costs... it costs...

Well, I know how much it costs. Anyway, in short, the financial situation of the Demacia Evil Alliance has reached the verge of collapse. Although the pharmaceutical business is getting more and more prosperous, and the sales of comics and peripheral products are also increasing, none of this is useful. In the face of the increasing expenses, it is all clouds!

In order to balance income and expenditure and to squeeze out some funds to meet expenses, Angelina, as the alliance's finance officer, has racked her brains and worked hard for a while, with only one purpose, that is, how can she be thrifty and hard-working to support her family to meet the financial gap like a greedy beast.

Let me put it this way, in order to save a few gold coins, when she is maintaining her fish tail, she has replaced the expensive olive oil with the cheapest vegetable oil, so that after half a month, the originally slender and smooth fish tail has become dull and rough, and it also emits a strong and strange smell, which has caused a large group of flies to buzz around her every day...

"Okay, it's really pitiful." Lin Taiping felt pity for hearing this, especially when he saw the dim scales on Angelina's tail, he couldn't help but feel sympathy. "In other words, if we don't think of some solutions, we will be collected by a large group of creditors?"

"It's not just about it, but it's already!" Angelina hugged the fishtail in tears, "Woooooooo, Xiao Linzi, we must be thrifty. I have thought about it seriously. In the future, you should just drink boiled water instead. Because tea costs money, Centipedes and Giant Teeth are not allowed to eat meat. For two meals a day, I, as a financial officer, of course, have to set an example. I decided to change the vegetable oil to sea mud... Hey, hey, I haven't finished talking yet, where are you going?"

Is this a question? Of course I’m going to make money to support my family!

Lin Taiping had already walked to the door of the room, thought about it, then turned his head with a smile, and hooked his finger at Angelina, who was still talking, saying, "Sister, are you going to come together? Let's go and see Giant Teeth, maybe the new money-making plan will fall on it."

Money-making plan? New money-making plan?

Angelina opened her eyes wide openly. Before she could think clearly, her tail was driven by the word "making money". She jumped over involuntarily. She rowed a boat and left Archipelago One. After ten minutes of the journey, she soon saw the Blood Queen anchored near the sea.

At this moment, a large group of ogres were working hard to repair the deck in the scorching sun. Lin Taiping climbed onto the boat along the gangway, grabbed an ogre who was carrying wood, and asked with a smile: "Where are your patriarchs? Are you still staying in the kitchen?"

This question is simply redundant. The ogre pointed directly at the warship kitchen not far behind him, and said with a strange look: "Sir, our patriarch has been studying cooking skills in the kitchen for three days and three nights... Well, it said that the kitchen is its private territory. If anyone dares to break in without permission, it will provoke a war against the ogre clan!"

Very very powerful. Lin Taiping patted his forehead speechlessly, showing such an expression. Angelina next to him didn't care about so much, and jumped over with murderous intent, slapped open the kitchen with her tail, knocking the door to pieces-

"I've shot it ten thousand times! Damn giant teeth, I'm so poor that I'm going to save my bath water. You dare to waste expensive ingredients. Do you know how much a carrot costs...uh?"
