Chapter 362 War really burns money!
It would be great if the deceased could not be compensated.
Such a thought flashed through Brynn's mind.
Of course, just think about it. The contract has been decided, and the other party is an ally in the oracle, but the elves obviously have not reached the limit. He dared not do such a thing as a turnaround...
Of course, with the efforts of the elves, Bolling didn't bother to do this.
He is not those cunning humans!
The reason why Blade City has become one of the famous commercial centers of the underground world is because the dark dwarves and underground dwarves here are more honest than other places.
Moreover, although the elves suffered great casualties, they also caused great damage to the undead army.
Looking out from above the city wall, the number of the undead army has been reduced by almost half!
You know, this time the Dark Alliance dispatched nearly 100,000 undead legions!
The army composed of the fallen undead is different from the shadow monsters. They are controllable. The Dark Alliance will spend a lot of time and energy to prepare the fallen undead as an important combat force of the army before each war.
Destroying the undead is much more useful than using the other party's magic power to control the undead army, because it means that once the war is over, the other party will no longer be able to use the undead army in the short term!
In addition, the purpose of the Dark Alliance attacking the Blade City was to occupy this city, not to destroy this city, so... it is unlikely that the shadow army would be summoned, because no one knew whether the hell would be summoned in the end.
So... Once the undead army is eliminated, the frontal battlefield of this war will be half won.
As long as high-end combat power wins the previous battle, the tone of this war will be almost decided.
Thinking of this, Bolling took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile, and asked:
"Tuck, how much money is left in our finances?"
Tucker is not only responsible for counting the rewards for hiring the elves this time, but he is also the chief financial officer of the Blade City.
After hearing the chief's words, the old dwarf wiped his sweat again and replied:
"Sir, if you have to say something, there are still 10 million left, but... we will use up to five million at most, otherwise it will affect the normal operation of our city and business."
After hearing what the Chief Financial Officer said, Bolling fell into silence.
Five million...
Following this momentum, you can only last for a day.
Although money can always be made back, it cannot be so wasteful.
Think about it now, it’s better to hire mercenaries in the underground world to help defend!
Hire a large professional mercenary group with an average strength of more than 50,000 people and experienced people to participate in the war, and at most only 50,000 pounds a day.
Even if you hire a mercenary group to participate in a war, it is impossible to only hire one day. It is usually calculated by month, and it is only one million and a month of gold coins.
Of course, this is just thinking about it.
Not to mention that the Dark Alliance has cut off the source of mercenaries hiring in the Underworld of Blade City. Even if they are hired, can they do better than elves?
No matter how elite mercenaries are, if they suffer more than 30% or 40% of the casualties, they will collapse.
But these elves have already reached more than 80% of the death rate, but they are still fierce...
Moreover, if they hadn't fought desperately, the undead army would not have suffered so much.
If ordinary mercenaries were allowed to replace them, they would probably really have to fight a protracted war. Maybe it would be possible to fight for a few years or even more than ten years.
Such expenditures and losses are also astronomical.
War... is a money-burning thing.
In fact, at the beginning, Bolling was able to apply equipment to exchange for support from the elves because of the long-prepared war in the Dark Alliance, which is very likely to become a protracted war.
It is simply too profitable to hire elves to fight for a set of equipment for several years or even more than ten years.
Ideals are very fulfilling, reality is very skinny.
Who knows...the proportion of these elves killed so much!
I got a set of equipment and died in a blink of an eye.
Although I also killed the enemy, I died too quickly...
Caught off guard.
Of course, it is not without benefits.
Judging from Bolling's experience, the undead army lost nearly half of it in a short period of time. It is estimated that the opponent will retreat after this siege for a few more days.
Although the Dark Alliance also has an army composed of dark dwarves and spirit-sucking monsters, there is the loss of the undead, and Brin doesn't believe that the other party can't see that the Blade City has become a hard bone.
In this case, the opponent is likely to choose to give up besieging the Blade City.
Taking a deep breath, Bolin had already made plans in his mind.
He turned around and looked at the diplomatic chief who was standing on the other side responsible for negotiating with the elves, and said:
"You go and notify other city-states that this war... is the war of our entire Serenity Alliance! The elves were invited by everyone, and the oracle was also issued by all city-states!"
"If they want to win, if they still have respect for the goddess, they have to bear the rewards of their elf allies!"
"As a battlefield, the Blade City has paid enough. Considering their own safety, we can understand that we have not sent a lot of support, but this is no longer just a war in the Blade City!"
Um……
The City of Blade could not bear it, so I pulled up other city-states to carry it together.
As long as the war can be ended as soon as possible and spending more money will be worth it in the long run.
After ordering the diplomatic chief, Bryn looked at the city wall that was still fighting with a heavy expression.
Why……
Obviously at an advantage.
But my heart hurts so much...
Perhaps, we should advise these elves not to be so radical?
At this time, Bryn suddenly saw the chief financial officer Tucker hesitating for a moment, and wanted to speak but stopped.
He asked:
"Tuck, what do you want to say?"
Tucker hesitated for a moment and said tactfully:
"Master, I don't know if it's my illusion. I have felt that the elves who came to participate in the war seemed to have seen them somewhere. Well... how to say, some of the elves who participated in the war later made me feel very familiar with them... Some of them even felt that they had seen them several times."
"I asked them specifically, and they said that the elves before were their relatives, either their elder brothers or their elder sisters, and some even said they were twins..."
"It's just that one or two are fine, but there are a few elves like this...it seems to be a bit too many."
Tucker finished speaking and smiled bitterly.
He had been holding this matter in his heart for a long time, and now he finally couldn't bear it, so he brought it up to the chief.
After hearing his words, Bolling frowned slightly:
"What do you mean is... After some elves joined the war, they went back and received the reward again?"
Tucker hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Bolling's brow frowned even deeper.
He glanced at the city wall, looked at the teleportation array again, and after pondering for a moment, he shook his head gently:
"It shouldn't be possible."
"The elves who came to participate in the battle all came through the teleportation array. The ultra-long-distance teleportation array was connected to the Black Rock City. After the elves fought on the city wall, few people came down except those who died in battle..."
"If it's really what you said, can they still transfer out of thin air to Black Rock City hundreds of kilometers away and then teleport back?"
