"Well, as long as I maintain the normal operation of my forces, I can probably lend you about 30 million!"
"Elemental crystal?" Muria was in a daze.
"Otherwise?" Gladys looked at Muria strangely.
"I thought they were gold coins." Muria said, "What else can I say? He is so ignorant. When he was the richest, the elemental crystals in his hands did not exceed one million. Now Gladys opened her mouth.
He was told that he could be loaned 30 million yuan, which really shocked him.
"How is it possible? The ten major empires have long stopped circulating gold and silver, metal currencies with little value. Instead, they use elemental crystal coins that change in value due to actual use."
Gladys explained very patiently that she had already seen Muria's combat power, so she would not look down upon or ridicule her because of this. Her ancestors had all taken action because of Muria. This kind of attention,
Gladys is particularly happy. So far, among all the successors to the throne, she is still the only one who knows about the existence of Muria.
"Thirty million," Muria calmed down and then thought about the real purpose of borrowing the money. "I want to ask, can this money buy enough void battleships to form a fleet?"
Muria only knows one thing, just to build a floating city, if millions of elemental crystals are smashed down, not even a splash will be raised. Because of the different specifications and functions of the void battleship, the cost should not be as high as that of the floating city, probably.
Muria doesn't understand this aspect.
"With careful calculation, we can probably form a very small void fleet with no more than twenty ships." Gladys said with some uncertainty, "A void fleet must at least be equipped with reconnaissance ships, destroyers, and light cruisers.
There are also heavy cruisers, and at least one light battleship void ship is needed as the command flagship. Well, there are also transport ships, treatment ships, and supply ships with single functions. If you calculate it like this..."
"The money you gave me is simply not enough." Muria concluded that to build a fully functional fleet, if you spend 30 million on it, you can barely make a splash. This is something that only the empire can build.
The principality can only dream, but the kingdom can look up to it. After fighting for a hundred generations and tightening its belt, it should be possible to buy a void fleet with castrated functions from the empire.
"You still need to borrow money, Your Highness Muria."
"Who else can I borrow from?" Muria asked helplessly. Thirty million is not enough. "And how much more is needed?"
"You need to ask professionals about this. If you want to borrow money, you can go to the Deep Blue Chamber of Commerce. Andrew can give you a big surprise." Gladys made another very good suggestion.
"This will probably cost several hundred million!" Muria rubbed his brows, "What will I give in exchange for it?"
"Your Highness Muria, if you can win this duel, you will gain the right to rule a world. Not only will you not have to worry about these debts, you will also be able to make a fortune and wait for the merchants of the empire to give it to you.
Send money."
"I understand, please contact Andrew for me." Muria took a long breath, and then pointed at the Lord of Insects who was rolling beside his feet and had turned into a ball of charcoal, but still had the breath of life spreading, "Look for me by the way.
Someone should take care of it, I'm looking forward to what it will look like after it survives this transformation."
…
"Your Highness Muria, I understand the situation. You are having a royal duel with the princess of the Orlando Empire, but you currently lack a void fleet to transport your legion to the target world, right?" The fat businessman
Sitting opposite Muria in human form, Gladys sat next to Muria.
"Yes, please help me estimate. Normally, what kind of fleet would I need to bring all my legions, and how much money would I need to pay for this?" Muria's face was a little solemn.
"Your legion, do you mean those giants and dragons?" Andrew asked aloud. He didn't know much about Sinapus' information because he was very smart and did not deliberately explore Sinapus's information.
Intelligence, he just saw everything Muria wanted him to see.
"There are about 100,000 giants, and at least five times as many ferocious alienated animals. As for giant dragons, the number will not exceed a hundred." Muria made a rough estimate. The humans on Sinapus were
He ignored it. He didn't think these humans could be of any help to him. They could just help him with the logistics. Let the giants and dragons handle the matter of going to the battlefield.
"In this case, your fleet needs to be specially customized. After all, although our empire is a mixed country, all types of ships are built according to the human form, although there is room for all kinds of large ferocious beasts to move around.
, but it still needs to be transformed.”
"How much does it cost?" Muria always focused on the key points.
"One hundred and twenty-nine million cubic meters of elemental crystals. This is my preliminary estimate, Your Highness Muria." Andrew handed a crystal slab to Muria, which listed in detail the various types of void ships and the required
Quantity and price.
"Fifty Banshee-class reconnaissance ships, with a total price of 15 million, Five Photon Elf healing ships, with a total price of 2 million, Ten Tiger Shark-class light cruisers, with a total price of 2,800
Ten thousand... One Hydera-class battleship costs thirty-six million per unit." Muria looked at the price and frowned more and more, "Aren't there too many ships with these functions?"
"These are the standard ships that a fleet must have to sail in the void."
"Isn't there a war fortress that combines all these functional ships into one?" Muria asked, "These are too troublesome. If there is one, just buy one."
"Your Highness Muria, this is the floating city you are talking about! This is more expensive and cannot be built in a short time."
"Isn't there any ready-made one?"
"Once the empire's floating city is completed, it will be put into use. It cannot be left to rust in a warehouse." Andrew shook his head and rejected Muria's idea of borrowing money to buy a floating city.
"The various types of ships in the Void Fleet are, to put it bluntly, separated from the various functions of the Floating City. Moreover, in terms of offense, the Void Fleet has more advantages."
"Indeed, the original void fleet was born out of the floating city, but now it has developed into a completely different system. Both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages."
"If you say, I only want transport ships and supply ships..."
"This is too risky, Your Highness. The void is not completely silent. There are also various monsters running rampant. It is unrealistic for you to rely on your own efforts to protect the fleet from traveling far away. All kinds of attack warships must be purchased."
"Okay, Andrew, how much can you lend me?" Muria asked very straightforwardly. He didn't need to be coy, there was an absolute gap in status between the two parties.
"I can borrow as much as you need!" Andrew replied very proudly. His caravan followed closely behind the imperial colonial fleet. He is the money bag of the royal family, and the wealth he has accumulated is beyond the imagination of Muria.
.
…
"Muria, this is the target civilization of our duel, the Soros Locust Civilization. Whoever gets the glorious scepter of the ruler of this civilization and the crown with three star cores first will be the winner of the duel.
"
The princess with blue hair and blue eyes, her youthful and graceful figure looked relaxed in front of Muria, and introduced the goal of this duel with a hint of pride.
"This is an aggressive insect civilization. They developed from a medium-sized world, and then had the power to peer into the void. They were lucky enough to find seven small worlds around their home world, and then opened the space gate through strong men.
Lead an army in a colonial invasion."
"Wait a minute," the seventh princess Gladys next to Muria questioned, causing the dragon princess's projection to stop the introduction and look at her with a playful smile, "Is there any problem? Your Highness Gladys
."
"You are going too far. You actually chose a civilization with the ability to colonize the void as the target of the duel. Their home world is a medium-sized material world."
"It's just a lucky insect civilization. There happen to be seven small worlds next to their world. They occupied those seven worlds with the help of strong people. What kind of void colonization is that? They have not developed any means for ordinary ethnic groups to enter.
The technology of the void is just a primitive civilization with relatively good individual strength."
The tone of the Dragon Princess was extremely disdainful. Her father and brother had destroyed countless similar civilizations.
"But there is no royal duel that chooses a civilization that can colonize other worlds as the target. You are simply bullying others." Gladys defended Muria. Normal royal duels only choose a small material world. Choose
Those in the medium-sized material world are considered rare in history.
"I use my power to bully others?" Dragon Princess Felicia looked at Gladys with a strange look, then burst into laughter, and then looked at Muria, "She actually said that I use my power to bully others, can I bully a Titan?
"
"Muria doesn't have a force like you right now. He has not even entered the empire's war academy to learn any knowledge about void warfare."
"Really?" Dragon Princess Felicia turned around gracefully, "But what does this have to do with me? Muria has agreed to the duel. According to the regulations, I will provide the target of the duel, and Muria decides
Start time."
"Or," Felicia looked at Muria with a smile, "you, the arrogant Titan Dragon, plan to use the words of this princess to admit defeat to me? That's not bad."
"When did you hear that I was about to give up?" Muria put her hand on Gladys's shoulder and forced her to sit down. "Continue to introduce me to the relevant information about the insect civilization."
