Chapter 384: Future
Colin, did you ever feel like you were when you advanced to the legend?" Chu Cheng thought for a while and asked Colin.
"What does it feel?"
"I am the king myself. Everything in my body is dominated by myself. Although it is an illusion, it feels really good."
Colin understood that Chu Cheng was not satisfied with the identity of an earl.
He is the king, what's the use of asking for the title of Count? Although that's a description, the identity of a legend is far higher than that of a baron. After Chu Cheng achieved the legend, no one treated him as a baron.
The environment of the Thorn Territory is also different from other places. The nobles in other places have to form cliques with each other. The Thorn Territory is located in a remote place and plays with their own. Chu City does not socialize, and does not know the nobles in the Principal of Maggie. Everyone's impression of the Baron of Thorn Territory is still in a stupid impression.
How did the Baron of Thorn Corps come from? It was bought with Grand Duke Maggie.
In the eyes of others, the money spent by Chucheng cannot be made back in a hundred years. Where is the Thorn Corps? It is poor and bad for water. Although there is arable land in the west, it is just arable land. The land that is cooked every year is not very large, and even horses cannot be raised in this environment. Now Chucheng has money and soldiers, and it is a legend.
Colin knew that it would not impress Chu Cheng without bringing out something real.
However, in his mission, he just stabilized the Thorns and did not let him do anything else. He could not allow Chu Cheng to have too many things. Thinking of this, Colin said to Chu Cheng: "You want too much, neither do I, but we two can sign an agreement. If the Miya Empire attacks the Principality of Maggie, I hope you don't participate. Miya will not attack the territory you occupy, not limited to the Thorns and Swords."
This is what Chu Cheng wants. He is not short of money. Shenmuzhou is constantly making money, at least enough for him to get the thorns to consume.
"So, will the Miya Empire respect my gains?"
"That's right, even if you got it in cooperation with the Holy Empire."
Colin said this with great sincerity. After seeing the soldiers and ants, he realized that Chucheng's armed forces were much stronger than he thought. Such people were worthy of winning. What the Miya Empire wanted was a port, and it didn't matter who occupied other places in the Principality of Maggie.
He only asked Chu Cheng's army not to attack the port.
"Yes, as long as you can make the decision." Chu Cheng also agreed. What port he wants? There are only three main warships in total. There will not be too many secondary warships in the future. The most are transport ships. It's just his own needs, and the ports led by Thorns are enough to be used.
Of course Colin can make the decision, this is what he came to get to Thorns to get it.
The conditions that Chucheng wants are not the highest, but Chucheng has not been able to surrender to Miya, and both sides have some room.
Colin carried the documents and contracts of the Miya royal family with him, and the two parties signed a clause that would not attack each other on the spot. Of course, Chucheng also had an additional advantage, which was that he could buy supplies from the Miya Empire at a low price. The trade share of no more than one million gold coins per month.
This upper limit is very high. Usually a baron can give tens of thousands of gold coins, and it is still too late to use it.
The resource of cultivation is basically monopolized in the hands of the nobles, so if you buy it at a low price, Miya's royal family still makes money, and there is no problem of losing money. She gave Chucheng a share of one million gold coins, and Miya didn't lose much.
But Chucheng did not let go of death. He had six types of soldiers and ants, five thousand gold coins per.
Colin didn't buy this thing. Although he liked it, if it was small, it would be easy to be targeted. If it was large, it would be expensive. This thing lasted only five years at most. His calculations were very accurate and he did not need Chu Cheng's introduction.
If the five thousand gold coins are real second-level magic creatures and have wisdom, it is not too expensive. After all, this thing is extremely loyal and you won’t be afraid of it no matter how you use it. But the short lifespan is a flaw.
He didn't know that in the future, the lifespan of soldiers would almost never exceed five years.
Once you go to the battlefield, you are not far from death.
It is simple to survive, continue to grow, become an officer, or even a general. But in an army, officers are always a minority, and most people will die in the collision between two worlds, sometimes they die worthlessly and unknown.
He refused to buy it, and Chu Cheng was not in a hurry. Anyway, he only had 100,000 embryos in his hand.
Without Tiancao Cangyuan following, the embryo problem would not be solved. He might not have consumed these 100,000 soldier ants by himself. It depends on whether they will be targeted when attacking the Principality of Maggie.
Colin still lives in a small town. He and Chu Cheng were very clear. If someone attacked the Thorn Leader, he would help, but it was not free. Ask him for help, he would give the friendship price, which was calculated based on the ordinary sixth level. Colin was really not humble at all. He said that as long as it was the sixth level, he could basically deal with it alone. For legendary, dealing with ten at a time is not a problem.
Of course, Chu Cheng believed that he could deal with ten legends himself.
The benefits I got from the Dragon God last time were too many. The Ashes Knights are also super powerful among legendary creatures. The eighteen Ashes Knights are by their side, and Chu Cheng is very modest in fighting ten of them.
The Thorn Corps is very busy now, mainly for trade. After the three main warships returned, the armed merchant ships also returned to the dock to transform and carry out necessary upgrades. Although the armed merchant ships have combat effectiveness, they are mainly used to transport goods. The warehouse is large and they will definitely not carry so many weapons.
You said that there are more than a dozen legends arranged above? That can't withstand the bombardment of the enemy's main battleship, as long as the enemy has enough legends to confront you.
Chu Cheng planned to have three fleets, which were not many compared to the future national war. In the future, a big country would have hundreds of fleets. But he didn't want to compete for hegemony, as long as he could have a decisive role in a certain local battlefield.
The Scourge, the Crow, the Soul Reaper, and the three biological warships are the main force and flagships, which is different from the distribution method of the Galaxy Universe. In the world of science and technology, the strongest attack power is not the flagship. The biggest function of the flagship is command, just have speed and protection.
Each fleet has one biological flagship, two semi-biological magic attack ships, two magic frigates, two high-speed submarine ships, and five high-speed attack ships.
There are twelve warships in total, and they are small in size, and they win at a fast speed.
The semi-biological magic attack ship and high-speed submarine ship are manufactured in the Crown of Thorns, and the rest of the models are completed after having shells.
In addition, Chu City also needs more armed merchant ships and armed troop ships.
The biological submersible warship needs to be cultivated slowly. It was made of the genes of the giant tortoise. Tiancao Cangyuan said that it would take at least ten years to grow to three or four hundred meters in size. At present, there must be some armed troop ships with incubators.
After Chu Cheng sent Colin, he began to inspect the shipyard.
The Thorn Corsair Shipyard is very small in size and can only build two ships at a time. When not building a ship, the task is to repair the ships. Chu Cheng took Chu Xiang and his brother and sister to inspect them everywhere. Chu Cheng was quite satisfied. These warships were basically made of three materials. The keels were made of artificially cultivated biological materials, and the imitation was the dragon spine of the Dragon God Realm.
The watertight cabin is a material like a turtle shell. Most of the inner hull are like this, and there is also a small amount of magic metal.
The outer layer is high-end wood obtained from the Dragon God Realm, and Chu Cheng now doesn't look down on Phoenix Wood.
The magic frigate is the largest, more than 200 meters long, with guns on it, which can intercept attacks including magic or flying creatures. In the Daxia area, spell-like electromagnetic cannons are already very mature, but the energy is very large and inconvenient to carry. They can only be used as city defense weapons or ship-based weapons.
Even so, the cost is not cheap.
The specific form is like an eighteen-tube rapid-fire cannon, power-driven. This thing must be equipped with a bio-optical brain to lock the target. Even so, it depends on barrage to intercept. Even if the cost of shells is not high, and hundreds of rounds are shot out, the material of tens of thousands of gold coins will be consumed.
The shell's attributes are single, which means penetration and destruction. In addition, after causing damage, there is also the forbidden air attribute.
If the enemy's legend flies in attacking the warship, the multiple electromagnetic cannons on the magic frigate will pour out firepower. As long as the legend is hit, it will definitely be seriously injured and will not be able to fly.
This thing is very practical because it has a very high hit rate against non-legendary targets.
The reason why magic frigates are the biggest is that when they install this thing, they must first have a bio-optical brain for ballistic calculations, and then have a larger energy group to support it. This is already the best choice, and the overall cost is considered low.
The semi-biological magic attack ship has a large-caliber magic cannon, which strives for destruction as soon as it hits.
In addition to attacking the enemy's giant warships, they can also bombard the coastal cities. Without this thing, the landing ship would be killed. Chucheng did not build a landing ship, and he did not compete for the plane of hegemony.
Chu Cheng never thought about other things by helping friendly forces to escort and defending his own crown of thorns.
"Brother, we really want to help Little Nikola build Kuoye City?" Chu Xiang didn't want to get involved in these things. She felt that having a thorny tie was enough.
"We don't need Kuroye City, but Daxia needs it. In the future, wars really break out between mainlands. In the location of Kuroye City, you can send troops from behind to attack the entire Principality of Maggie. I will work harder now and cooperate with Jiang Yuan to counterattack in the future. Look at the magic attack ships, but how can they compare with shore defense cannons? If you really want to attack the port fortress, you will lose a lot of troops."
"You really want to help him?"
"Of course, at least I have this plan now. People always have to do something for a lifetime."
"It's not for me, right?" Chu Xiang said worriedly.
"Of course it's for you. I tell you that the Taoist sect must have transformed you into a human elixir. If they want me to help in the future, I can speak."
