Brenda has recently placed a batch of orders for 500 sets of armor from several chambers of commerce, and the total may cost more than 100 million silver foxes.
George really didn't know where he was going to get the extra money.But he never let himself worry about filling this gap.
"My lord." Brenda said to George while walking, "My lord, we collected 19 golden lions, which is 570 million silver foxes in the early stage - most of which came from the funds obtained by Mr. Roosegaard and the auction house." , add up to 9 golden lions, Lord Wolf contributed 1 golden lions, and the other eight resting birds contributed about 2 golden lions. Adding in the investment of the nobles, it is exactly 19 golden lions."
"The money has been spent so far and there is a gap of less than 200 million." Brenda stroked her mustache and said, "In addition to the production of potions and the [-] sets of armor for Volp, our expenditure is still There are all these but in the end it didn’t cost any money.”
"One is the formation of the team, research consumption, labor costs, and the transformation of the magic furnace. We spent 60 silver foxes in total. In addition, the rent of the laboratory, the wear and tear of the equipment, and the subsequent loss of gemstones and mithril will cost 90 silver. Fox——This is the number I arranged for someone to report to the Duke. It is obviously overestimated, but this ratio is still appropriated. You mentioned before that you want to share part of the research results. All the money was lost in vain. So I used this part of the information given to Clear Water City in the plan to take out the money in the vault, just to fill the vacancy in the laboratory."
George nodded. This operation is by no means as simple as Brenda said.To put it bluntly, it was a perfect sale.
"The second expenditure is the thing you asked me to do - the core components of the alchemy furnace." Brenda continued: "Although I chatted with Miss Daphne and those Landry's boatmen and scholars Good'. But after the whip is pulled down, we still have to give some sweets. We actually spent 20 yuan to get eight sets of core components of alchemy furnaces and some precious accessories. By the way, I also "lease" 120 thousand ships. Feed big ships for 'Project Ark'”
George nodded, he knew the money.He had arranged for Brenda to do it.And this guy not only managed this matter well, but also exceeded his initial estimate.
From Brenda's words, George learned that of the 20 silver foxes, some of them were paid by Brenda to the Brotherhood of Night Dire - now many of the crew members have become the earl's subordinates.
all fucking pirates
In addition, some members of the Dire Brotherhood also intend to join the earl's team during this exchange.
George and Brenda turned a corner in the corridor and stepped into the castle. Brenda lowered her voice when she said this.
"The third payment is 30 yuan, which was given to Ms. Tanya. In order to meet the military expenses of the new army, she is a little short of funds. But I brought all the remaining Hongzhuang spoils in her hands."
George's heart twitched. The remaining items in the Red Village actually add up to 10,000 silver foxes. If you look for them in the auction house, you can sell them for [-]+ at most.However, the money came out from the left hand and went in from the right hand, so it was not considered a loss.
Brenda said: "I gave all these treasures to the nobles (George's eyes went dark), in addition to them, I also sent a batch of products to the duke and the nobles, and promised Your Majesty, to serve the frontline Make every effort to produce a batch of medicine - our price is 200 million"
Brenda touched her mustache and said: "So the 200 million funds allocated by the palace will come in a few days. When the money is paid to the chamber of commerce, five hundred sets of 'Hellwalkers' will arrive. "
Obviously, Brenda did not plan to deliver the 200 million order. Judging from the time, the delivery will be in winter, when the blood moon has come, and their scam group has already run away.
Hearing this, George already understood what his team had done with the cooperation of Brenda—the money came and went, but in the end it all fell into the pocket of this big liar and was added to the laboratory .
And also done a good job in the alchemy furnace and the purchase of armor.
This made the logistics of his templar army finally a perfect complement.
Having said that, the two of them had already entered the meeting hall, and amidst the noise in the hall, stood on the edge of the crowd—this was the old position of the two of them.
The King's Hand is sitting on the throne, discussing with the nobles and ministers about the supply of the front line.
"Oh~ my lord, the 50 golden lions loaned to Rodunk by the 'Mithril Treasury' has arrived, and the 200 million silver foxes allocated to us by His Majesty must have also come from here." Brenda touched herself mustache, whispered to the boss.
For so many years, Clearwater City, as a trade center, has accumulated countless wealth.But disasters continued year after year, plus this war.The treasury of Clearwater City was almost emptied.
Now the Kingdom of Rodenk has already owed debts to many large chambers of commerce. Presumably, the money can only be paid off slowly after recovering the lost land and the capital in the east.
"50 golden lions" George's mouth twitched. He knew that war was a huge gold-swallowing beast, but the figures were still frightening. Agreement?"
"My lord, many expenses do not need to cost us money. But the remaining expenses are still very huge"
Brenda rubbed her mustache and said, "My lord, in this battle, the Rodenk Kingdom mainly supported the Iron Wall Knights, the Red Dragon Knights, the Red Dragon Guards, and the Griffin The Knights and the Thorn Bird Troop also received a portion of the potion from the palace. Together, these main forces are about 3.” He continued: “Fortunately, the 2000 main force is not like your elite troop. Top-level equipment for battle. However, so far, the Kingdom has already spent around [-] million on potions alone."
"In addition, there are 30 members of the noble alliance. Although the noble alliance did not collect commission from Rodunke because of the agreement, the food and grass for these 30 people requires Rodunke to pay for it."
"In addition to the herbs for the residents, the church's medical expenses, the consumption of Rodunk's own army's battle damage, salaries, rewards, fortified cities, and ships, for these money, Fernando's money fan can be regarded as broken."
George pursed his lips, and suddenly realized what this war was really about, and why the upper aristocratic elite in Rodenk were so greedy for money and the political gains this time—they had to get their money back!The kingdom also needs to pay back!
This battle can be fought only if there are blood transfusions from many southern countries and the Holy See.The second is the several large chambers of commerce behind the Kingdom of Rodenk, and the nobles flocking to Clear Water City to contribute various expenses.
As for the various cash cows in this war, such as auction houses that charge commissions, taxes, land rent, and alchemy workshops, if Clearwater City does not have it, I am afraid it will not be able to support it at all.
Perhaps the future shelters should also have more economic buildings like auction houses.
More channels and material sources should also be needed.
The prelude to the coming of the Kuroshio has just begun. In this epic battle against the doomsday, it may take many, many years.The resources in the valley alone cannot support it at all.
The nobles in the conference hall stood around, obeying the Duke's instructions, and took a step forward one by one to speak.The crowd was slightly noisy, and there were whispered voices everywhere.
Talking at the top, the bottom is also talking, and the Duke needs to roar from time to time to be quiet for a while.
When George, who was chatting enthusiastically with Brenda, saw the Duke's staring eyes, he couldn't help shaking his calf under the old man's dissatisfied gaze, and closed his mouth.
Adeline has always hoped that her son-in-law can take part in political affairs by her side during this period of time, but this guy is not interested in such things, and can always find a reason to slip away from her side
After pretending to listen for a while, George became distracted again.After making a face at Sophia who secretly looked over from time to time.While she was stunned, her eyes habitually searched the crowd.
But after a while, he remembered that Tanya and the others had already led the new army away.
In this clear water city, everyone uses all resources to complete the equipment of this new army as much as possible. After all, they will follow the ark to escape back to the shelter and become the army of the 'Lord of Dawn'
During these days, George was very busy with the Ark project.During this period, he went to the northern mountains again to arrange the spiders and bring back the materials.
So for the new army, George didn't know the details, but Brenda knew it very well.
"My lord, the Knights of the Black Lake left [-] members in Fallen Leaf City and [-] members in Clear Water City. The remaining [-] members are the main force of the new army."
George nodded his head. There are indeed five hundred Black Lake soldiers in Fallen Leaf City. These guys have completely mingled with the local vultures and rotten skins.When the Ark project starts, the robbery will start
The same is true of Clear Water City.
Brenda continued: "Among the remaining 3 new troops, some of them are noble private troops. Most of them are led by the lords of Rodunk, and the total number is more than [-]. These guys who join in the fun are completely cannon fodder. But Fortunately, they all spent their own money, otherwise our fundraising would not be enough.”
Judging from the armed equipment of a powerful baron, even if it is to arm 10,000 militiamen led by [-] knights, [-]+ silver foxes are enough.
According to the figures recorded by the court, the cost of arming is about 20 to 30 gold lions:
Iron mask helmet 3 gold lions, armor 6 gold lions, leggings 6 gold lions, iron boots 4 gold lions, exquisite long sword 3 gold lions, spear and shield 2 gold lions, war horse 12 gold lions.
100 people are more than 3000 gold lions—although most of the equipment of the knights is their own, but at the time of canonization, whether it is the fief or equipment, they are all taken from the lord's pocket.
As for the militia, they are generally equipped with cheap weapons such as cloth armor, leather armor and spears.Added together, the price ranges from a dozen to dozens of silver foxes.
Regardless of the fact that more than 90.00% of the people in this army are cannon fodder, the formation of such an army is equivalent to building a small castle with walls.
And in addition to the money, people eat horse chews, and there are also a lot of war damage, repairs, and maintenance.These 3 people added together, to participate in this war, the expenditure of tens of thousands of Silver Fox is sure.
Brenda said: "Among the 3 troops, there are more than a dozen lords, large and small. Some of them have experienced the Kuroshio, and some of them have fled from the east. Their soldiers still have some courage. It’s just that the equipment is not as good as Udran’s. There are also some soldiers who are called temporarily. You said that the valley is short of people, so the number of refugees at the ‘flea nest’ has recently decreased by 1.”
George knew the quality of these refugees.But in order to have a stutter, these people can still take up arms.
"Brenda, although these 1 people are no match for real soldiers, most of the refugees we selected are skilled."
Brenda nodded, understanding what the boss meant—it was all for His Majesty to see anyway.It was not intended that this force actually fight.
