C26 When the Sickle of the Imperialist Touches the Chives

Sorofia. This was a family name that almost everyone in the Sya knew.

In this world where information was not developed, it was very normal for people born in the Austin Empire to not know about the Hizkrit family of the Cult Country. It was understandable for those who were born in the Divine Country to not have heard of the imperial family of the empire, the Archiman family, but only the family name of the Sorofia. Almost everyone in the region knew about it.

The reason was naturally the Sorofia Allied Trade Association.

The Sorofia Joint Chamber of Commerce was born in Rossai Commercial Union and was located in the center of many human countries. It was named after the Rossai River in the north of the south. The convenient transportation and geographical location made this place a trading center since the Third Era. Unfortunately, the people living there did not live well.

An important commercial hub was basically equivalent to an important military hub. Therefore, this place was a place where militarists fought for it. Since ancient times, there had been a few changes of ownership, but the people in Rossai were still very rich. This resulted in a ridiculous scene of robbery.

It was time for the old chives to grow.

This situation continued until more than 200 years ago, during the period when the Austin Empire Tyrant, Calvin II, ruled. The local merchants of Rossai could no longer endure the harsh tyranny, so they started a rebellion. They established Rossai Commercial Union.

Of course, the process of establishing the country did not go smoothly. After the initial uprising, the few major trading companies started to oppress the armies of Austin Empire. The surrender of the surrendered fully displayed the ugly face of capitalism. However, one of the chambers of commerce, or rather, a family, persisted. That was the Sorofia.

The Sorofia family was a rare family with a backbone among the profit-seeking merchants. And because of their backbone, the history of the Sorofia family could be said to be very miserable.

That's right, it was the one who was stabbed in the back. At that time, the Sorofia family was sold clean by the traitor. Only one youngest son escaped from the family. At that time, Austin Empire attacked the city. He pulled the entire Sorofia to the front of the formation and asked the youngest son to open the city and surrender, but he didn't expect the old patriarch to be so tough. He killed himself with a knife on the spot. He would rather die than be a hostage.

With the death of the patriarch, forcing the hostage to surrender was basically considered a failure. The Austin Empire was furious. They had killed all the Sorofia family in front of the formation as a warning to others. The only survivor in the city, Grimm, the Sorofia was in extreme grief. He swore to heaven that he would be irreconcilable with the Austin Empire.

Later on, the facts proved that the Austin Empire had made a bad move. They had also underestimated the determination of the people of the Rossai to resist them. This war had been fought for more than ten years, and the Austin Empire had used all their tricks. The Rossai City had changed hands a few times, and had even been slaughtered before. However, the resistance army was fighting more and more.

The most tragic battle was when the Rossai City had been besieged for seven months, and the grain in the city had been used up. The people in the city could only rely on the little fish and shrimp in the river to live. The two sides of the busiest Auselia Avenue were full of dead people. The general of Austin Empire held up the freshly baked bread and came forward to persuade them to surrender. For a moment, the morale of the soldiers on the city wall was shaken.

At the crucial moment, Grimm Sorofia raised his knife and went up to the city wall. He chopped off half of his arm on the spot, picked up the bloody meat and informed the entire army. If they were hungry, they would come and eat him, but the city could not be opened!

When the soldiers of the city saw this scene, they broke into tears and swore an oath. Ning Be the ghosts of Rossai and not the people of the empire. All of them swore to never surrender. It was said that the general of Austin, who had persuaded him to surrender, had a pale face. Not long after, he wrote a letter claiming that he was ill and wanted to change the general.

Sorofia family's reputation was greatly boosted after the siege, but even so, the Rossai was still unable to compete with the Austin in terms of quantity, but as the saying goes, those who commit crimes will die. At the most difficult moment of this war, the Cult Kingdom had come to an end.

In order to take down Rossai, Austin Empire had used all kinds of inhumane strategies. Among them, the massacre of cities was a serious violation of Original Goddess's teachings. They had done too many immoral things, and no one could bear to watch any longer. What's more, the religion that had been rubbing its fists all this time?

In a game between large countries, one needed to be steady, accurate, and ruthless.

The country of religion that found the entry point would go to Austin Empire and give them a beating. They would be charged with over ten crimes such as anti-human crimes. They would also declare the independence of Rossai and give them a large amount of support.

Since then, the internal rebellion in Austin Empire had turned into a confrontation between the empire and the countries of religion. Sorofia family, who received support, led Rossai and Austin to fight to the death for generations. Finally, a hundred years ago, Austin Empire gave up on this piece of land. After signing a ceasefire agreement with Sorofia family, the hundred-year war finally came to an end.

The Sorofia family had sacrificed a lot during the establishment of the Rossai Commercial Union. Several generations of patriarchs had died in battle. As a result, they had obtained great rewards after the war. The originally complicated Rossai had basically become their territory. The Sorofia Allied Trade Association had also officially stepped onto the stage of history.

Now, a hundred years had passed, and the Sorofia Chamber of Commerce had spread across all the countries. Their family had also become the richest family in the world. They were publicly known as the crownless king, and they had a huge influence on any country.

As one of the five noble families in the cult nation, the Alucard family ran the Alucard City, which was also one of the top cities in the St. Maestre. As the previous family heads were all Magi, they had never really operated their territories. Therefore, the Alucard City was ranked last among the five noble families. However, in terms of security, this place was the best.

No one was so blind as to cause trouble in the territory of a big shot in the military. Therefore, Alucard City could be said to be a place for the people to live and work happily. Such a stable environment was naturally loved by the merchants. Sorofia Chamber of Commerce would never miss this place.

"Young master, this is the new winter collection of the Sorofia Chamber of Commerce."

"En, very good."

In the resting room, Anna handed a large but not heavy book to the young man who had just finished practicing his sword. Roya took it and started to read it.

This thing that was similar to the menu of Roya's restaurant in his previous life was famous in the Sorofia Chamber of Commerce. It had an innovative design of every season's new collection. Simply put, it was a list of new products with drawings and explanations. It could be considered one of the few advertising applications in this world.

As a businessman, Sorofia Chamber of Commerce fully grasped the characteristics of nobles who liked to compete and gain face. Rich aristocrats often bought the whole book in order to show their status. Although Roya's family was not poor, however, because they did not have a mistress, they did not need much in this aspect.

But even so, seeing that Noel's gown was customized by the Sorofia, it could be seen that this chamber of commerce was pervasive.

Roya sighed as he touched the new collection. Even Roya felt that it was a waste to look at the leather cover.

This small book should be close to one gold coin, right? This level of pretentiousness, no wonder he could make a lot of money.

The young man was amazed by the Sorofia's huge financial resources as he slowly opened the new book.

The thing he was looking for was right here.
