When Li Yinguang came back from the Lord's Mansion, Captain Saipan came to find him. He wanted to add more combatants. After all, his men, including the disabled, would only be number 20 if they were full.
If we encounter any accidents or conflicts in the wilderness, this number of people will definitely not be enough!
"We are about to enter winter. Those who are a little aggressive have already gone to track down the looters in the Zhenbei Iron Mine two days ago. It will be a little difficult to recruit the remaining people!" Li Yinguang said after thinking.
"Buy slaves!"
Saipan gave what he thought was the most suitable plan at hand.
Slaves are very cheap, and there are bunkers in the armored city. Even if they can't become the main force in the battle, they can still be used as a starting point, at least there will be someone to use them.
Li Yinguang thought for a while, nodded and said, "You will be responsible for recruiting thirty slaves. Yinniu will be paid by the steward Geda."
"yes!"
Saipan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left.
"Are you going to leave with us, or stay in the town of Manbach? If you want to stay, you can be responsible for the management of the 'Castle Shop'. The safety in the town, with Andife's face, shouldn't be a problem
What danger is there?"
Li Yinguang found Alma and said.
Alma is pregnant, and she was injured again today, so staying in Manbach Town is actually a better choice.
The departure is only temporary. The weapon systems ordered by the Iron Armored Castle from the Goblin Factory Store have not yet arrived, and they will definitely come back.
Alma shook her head: "I don't feel safe without you in Manbach Town."
She was telling the truth, especially after experiencing what happened these past few days with everyone, she felt this even more profoundly. She was already used to life in the "Iron Armored City", but she would not be too used to it in the safe zone.
"There is no safe place in this world, and the town of Manbach is not safe either." Alma took the initiative to laugh.
Li Yinguang looked at her, shrugged helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Then let's go together!"
He turned around and walked outside. Before the sun went down, he had to go to the 'Factory Store Directly Affiliated to the Goblin Empire' to meet the pretty little girl.
"Kayali, I'm leaving Manbach Town for a few days."
Kayali blinked and asked softly: "Are you going to the Zhenbei Iron Mine or somewhere else?" She had already received the news beforehand.
But she was still a little happy that Li Yinguang came to say goodbye to her.
Li Yinguang shook his head: "We haven't decided yet. After we leave Manbach Town, we will discuss it with the people in Iron Armor City before making a decision!"
"All right!"
Kayali didn't ask anything, she just nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I believe good luck will always be with you!"
"Thanks!"
Li Yinguang's gentlemanly bow.
"When I come back, I will ask you to have dinner again."
“Looking forward to it very much!”
Li Yinguang left the ‘Goblin Factory Store’ in a happy manner.
After he left, Old Bol walked out of the store and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, why don't you help him?"
"Giggle, is it necessary? If he really wants to be my man, he must learn to grow up. Although I like him a little, I don't want him to become a puppet that depends on me. Without going through the hardships of wind, rain and fire, he
, will never become a real man!"
Kayali's eyes twinkled, and her giggle was clear and sweet.
After returning to the Iron Armored City, Li Yinguang entered the main control room of the Castle.
There are seven z3 type smelting furnaces, six of which are brand new and one is about to be scrapped and is in a state of repair.
The 'steel deck' was extensively damaged. Although it appeared to have been repaired on the outside, its overall strength was only 3% of what it was after repair, making it vulnerable.
Li Yinguang hasn't earned enough money to buy steel materials, so the armor of the "Castle" is just like paper and useless, let alone the weapon system of the Iron Armor City, even the larger mechanical armor vehicle-mounted weapons.
It may be punctured.
In terms of weapon systems, there are only two ‘Eagle Mao Arrow’ aircraft, with an effective range of three kilometers and a peak lethality radius of 1.5 kilometers!
The other weapons are all low-end weapons and will basically not cause any effective damage to the armored city.
In addition to these, physical reserves, daily rations for 100 people for three months, drinking water, and purchased fuel can support the "Castle" to travel approximately 1,200 kilometers.
It is not very sufficient, but there is no way. Most of it has been spent on installing the 'z3 type' smelting furnace and ordering weapon systems. The silver bull coins on hand are only about 6,000 when fully loaded.
One-third was used to buy food, drinking water and other daily necessities.
Saipan purchased thirty slaves and used another third.
The remaining one-third was all purchased with fuel.
The kinetic energy generated by the six 'z3 type' smelting furnaces at full power can increase the speed of the 'Castle' to fifty kilometers per hour. This speed should rank among the top 100 in all the armored cities in Manbach Town.
The fighting group managed by Saipan has a total number of forty-nine people, including thirty newly purchased slaves.
The maintenance team managed by Bucher, with a total of six people, is responsible for the daily maintenance of the armored city while driving in the wilderness, which is barely enough.
The housekeeper Goda manages the logistics staff, maids, cooks, cleaners, etc., totaling eleven people.
In addition to Alma, Sophia, Xiaoman, Heizi, etc., the total number of members is 71 people of various types.
The door of the control room of the "Castle" was gently pushed open by the butler Goda, who walked in and said respectfully: "Master, the preparations are basically complete."
Li Yinguang nodded: "Is everything settled at the tabloid in Manbach Town?"
Butler Goda said: "According to your instructions, I have specifically talked to Zhibaige, and he has promised to do his best to run the tabloid without interrupting daily operations!"
While he was talking, someone knocked on the door again outside the control room.
"come in!"
Scarface, Xiaoman and Sophia opened the door and walked in.
"You came just in time. This guy Zhi Baige is a bit slippery and thoughtful, but you can't trust him completely. So except for the newspaper layout work, printing, distribution, business income and expenses don't need to be interfered by Zhi Baige. They are all under your control.
!" Li Yinguang explained to Scarface.
Scarface will stay in Manbach Town and be responsible for managing part of the business of the 'Manbach Town Tabloid' and the 'Castle Shop'.
Scarface had a stern look on his face and nodded: "Don't worry, boss, I won't disappoint you!"
Li Yinguang smiled, stood up, walked to him, and helped him straighten his collar: "Money is an external possession, and the most important thing is to protect yourself. If the Manbach Town tabloid is gone, we can continue to do it, but don't pay for it."
What an accident."
She patted him twice on the shoulder and said, "I have some friendships with the people at Lord's Mansion Andifei and the Goblin Craftsman Shop. When I encounter a crisis, I go there to ask for help."
"clear!"
Scarface nodded vigorously. Li Yinguang was very good at winning people's hearts. At least Scarface was very moved.
A scholar will die for his confidant! This chapter has been completed!
