Chapter nine hundred and sixty-two vicious arrangements
After temporarily suppressing the toxins in his body, Arthur came to his office and began to deal with the backlog of official business in the past two days. And all the official documents had a line of bloody characters - money, money, money, dear prince.
Your Highness, please grant us enough money!
Money, lack of money!
Food, lack of food!
Equipment, lack of ordnance weapons!
After all, Arthur was short of money. On the surface, he expanded his private army by ten legions, but privately, he made a decision that shocked the entire Western Continent.
During the craziest stage of the mainland-island war, this kind of thing never happened.
But the direct consequence of the crazy expansion of the army is the lack of money. Arthur is very short of money. He is so poor that he can't even pay the soldiers under his command! Not to mention the food that is enough for these soldiers to consume! Not to mention the huge amount.
The ordnance armor that makes people collapse!
Ordinary war knives and long swords, the slightly better ones, cost at least one gold coin per handle; ordinary leather armor, no matter how bad the leather armor is, you can't get it without three gold coins; as for longbows and crossbows,
This is even more expensive stuff.
But you don’t want all the soldiers to fight with the worst weapons and wearing the worst armor!
At the very least, you must have some high-grade steel knives and long swords, which cannot be obtained without five or six gold coins; at least you must have high-quality ordinary leather armor or ordinary iron armor, which will cost about ten gold coins; this is only the minimum requirement.
Ordinary soldiers' equipment, the elite legion's heavy infantry, light cavalry, heavy cavalry and even Warcraft cavalry, plus those special magic crossbows, sniper crossbows, and magic repeating crossbows.
As well as the equipment of the siege machinery army, an ordinary trebuchet is worth thousands of gold coins, and one with a little magic runes can easily cost tens of thousands of gold coins. And an ordinary stone bullet thrown is worth several silver coins, and the magic thrown is
Well, it depends on the size of the magic power, ranging from tens, hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of gold coins.
If it were a strategic-level magic bullet with a small forbidden spell level attached to it, it would be impossible to get it without millions of gold coins!
Arthur has formed such an abnormally large army. The amount of gold coins consumed is also abnormally large. A rough estimate shows that without the investment of hundreds of millions of gold coins, Arthur simply cannot afford the consumption of this army. This is only the most basic
Consumption, taking into account the loss of ordnance and the consumption of food, grass and baggage during marching operations, this number will have to be increased several times!
All the official documents are crying for money, and what Arthur needs now is money!
"Mrs. Greenfin, my dear little beauty, I hope you can get enough money from that lovely earl as soon as possible!" Arthur worriedly took all the gold coins...oh no. He took all the gold coins.
He threw all the official documents on the ground and walked out of the office with a gloomy face.
"How many gold coins are there in my warehouse?" Arthur looked at his attendant coldly.
The attendant smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, you still have 370,000 gold coins in your warehouse. This is your last money!"
Arthur's body swayed and he almost vomited blood. He had scraped land in several northern provinces for several years. He even supported many nobles in the eastern plains to make money. The money he collected has been used in the past year.
Was it all spent within a year?
What a nightmare news!
Taking a deep breath, Arthur said in a deep voice: "Appropriate this money to the Snow Birch Heavy Cavalry Regiment. They have been training very hard these days and the horseshoes are extremely worn. Let them use this money to replace the horseshoes!
"
The Snow Birch Heavy Cavalry Regiment is the most gold-hungry legion among Arthur's publicly expanded regular legions. It has 60,000 regular heavy armored cavalry. Plus 120,000 retinue cavalry wearing leather armor, it has a total of more than 300,000 mounts.
.Half of these mounts are ordinary horses and need to be replaced with horseshoes from time to time, which is a huge expense.
After allocating the last 370,000 gold coins, Arthur was officially impoverished. Except for a few gold coins in his pocket, he no longer had a penny. Fortunately, he built the huge palace outside New Dunark.
It costs nothing - all craftsmen and civilians bring their own rations. Otherwise he would really cry.
Dejected, he left the palace with a group of retinues of knights. Arthur walked through the alleys of New Dunker at a loss. He wanted to use these remote alleys to sort out his ideas. How could he get more money?
He has used all the means at his disposal now, and it is impossible for Mrs. Lufen to give him more cash. After all, although Mrs. Lufen is now under his control, there is still a huge figure behind Mrs. Lufen, that
The old immortal guy is something Arthur is not willing to mess with easily.
Relying on his own, Arthur has no business talent, and he really can't figure out where to make money.
After wandering around freely, Arthur led people to the port of New Dunerque. Lin Li and Yun Tianyi's undead ship was still unloading, and a large number of strange goods from the Undead Continent and the Eastern Continent were being delivered to the port's warehouse by carriage.
inside.
Forget about the goods from the Eastern Continent, these things are relatively common. But those strange items produced in the Undead Continent are valuable treasures in the Western Continent. For example, some special herbs that are contaminated with the breath of the undead are secret.
Pharmacists refine the necessary ingredients for various secret medicines that prolong life and maintain youth.
For such a herb, those aristocratic ladies and ladies would go crazy for them.
Arthur looked at the mountains of goods, his eyes flashing with dazzling ferocity. Perhaps, he had found a new way to make money.
"Of course, my father Blackbeard, your old profession, how could I forget this?" Arthur laughed strangely: "Of course the cargo ships that have entered the port are not good targets for robbery, but those
What about the merchant ships that haven’t entered the port yet? That’s not up to you.”
Arthur blinked his eyes desperately, left the civilian port with great interest, and strode towards the military dock across the mountain.
Climb up a hill to the east of New Dunker's civilian port and follow the road dug on the mountain all the way down. There is another huge bay under the mountain, which is where the military port of New Dunker is. Now the entire Gaul is stationed in this military port.
The Imperial North Sea Garrison Fleet, excluding the warships cruising and patrolling the North Sea, has about 150 heavy warships docked here all year round.
When Arthur led people into the military port, a high-pitched horn sounded, and two shabby troop carriers, dragging thick black smoke, slowly docked at a pier. Accompanied by neat slogans
There was a sound, and both teams were covered in blood, but the soldiers with high morale walked off the troop ship neatly.
The two teams of warriors totaled only more than 300 people, but their morale was high, and there was a strong evil aura around them. Moreover, they were all holding rune weapons, and behind them hung neat rune shields made by dwarves. Under the shields
What was exposed were all heavy repeating crossbows.
Behind the few warriors who were not carrying shields, they were carrying Qing Yishui'er's ultra-long-range sniper crossbow.
As we all know, the reason why ultra-long-range sniper crossbows have such abnormal ranges is because the magic array on them provides super strength for the arrows. In other words, every sniper crossbow is full of serious magic.
Crossbow. And a qualified magic crossbow, no matter how cheap it is, costs tens of thousands of gold coins.
The armor on these warriors is made of rune leather armor. These rune leather armors are light and dexterous, and do not hinder their mobility at all. However, the defensive power of these armors is comparable to that of alloy plate armor.
.
There is no doubt that this is an elite force. Among the legions under Arthur's command, there is rarely such an elite team.
Arthur looked at this brave army with satisfaction, and he happily asked: "This team is good, their boss is..."
Before he finished speaking, Arthur's face suddenly changed. He stared at Enzo and the others who were slowly walking out of the bow, and his face turned livid.
Enzo, Lin Qi's die-hard Enzo, had an affair with Arthur at Dun' Erq when Arthur was still the adopted child of Blackbeard, and when Lin Qi was still the eldest son of the Black Tiger family.
Conflict. At that time, Arthur was completely suppressed by Lin Qi in the Black Tiger family. Enzo's collision with Arthur was something that Arthur would never forget.
But when Arthur successfully sent Lin Qi to the Black Abyss Prison, and when Arthur's status in the Gallic Empire gradually rose, Arthur had ignored Enzo, an insignificant 'little man'. He just sent an official document,
He transferred Arthur to his command, and then he completely forgot about Enzo's existence.
But those generals who were very good at flattering others arranged for Enzo to take his brothers on various fatal missions again and again.
Traps after traps, breakouts after sieges, Enzo fell from a dignified colonel to a captain, and only a few hundred of his subordinates were left.
Arthur thought that Enzo had died in the rebellion a long time ago, but he never dreamed that the Enzo he saw today actually controlled such a capable and powerful army!
Enzo was like a sharp sword. Shen Yi walked down the gangway slowly and mightily, leading his soldiers to line up towards the Cedar Legion's station. Arthur and others stood in the distance, and there were soldiers wearing armor everywhere.
Zoe didn't find Arthur.
Staring at the retreating figures of Enzo and his group, Arthur took a deep breath.
"The current commander of the Cedar Legion has failed in his performance and was handed over to the Correctional Institution to be severely tortured and charged with heresy."
"I heard that the aliens in the Odin Icefield have made unusual movements recently, which may be detrimental to the Gallic Empire. In order to detect the movements of the aliens, an elite team must be sent to sneak into the Odin Icefield, go deep into the icefield, and capture at least one person.
A wizard from Odin's Temple, interrogating aliens' battle plans! Remember, it must be the most elite and best-equipped team!"
Arthur glanced at the attendant standing beside him and said in a low voice: "Remember, he is the one with the best equipment!"
The attendant nodded knowingly. Enzo and the others who had just disembarked from the ship were well equipped!
But what’s surprising is where did these guys get their equipment?
However, this is not important, because they will soon no longer need any equipment. {Piaotian Literature www.ptwxz.com thanks all book friends for your support, your support is our greatest motivation}
