Lord of War

"You're crazy!" Neil roared loudly, "The current situation in the territory requires the construction of military factories? Do you think there is too much money?"

"We can consider using war to support war. レm♠思♥路♣客レ" Sean thought for a while, and felt that he was not crazy, "As long as the military factory is established, we can raise the armament of the entire territory by at least one level , This is extremely beneficial to our current territorial situation. And you see, we now have hundreds of dwarves and goblins. If these resources are not used, it will be a waste. Can you still expect the goblins to go to the battlefield? ?"

Neil frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, obviously disapproving of Sean's approach: "Two questions."

"what is the problem."

"First, the initial investment in our territory needs about 1.7 million yuan, but we still have about 2.5 million yuan left." Neil opened an account book, which listed all kinds of funds in detail. The various financial revenue and expenditure data can be said to be clear at a glance, "According to your calculations, the establishment of a military factory needs at least more than one million funds. This is related to the scale. It is fine if it is smaller, but at the very least It also needs about one million, and it is impossible for the territory not to leave reserve funds, so seriously, at least three million is needed, how are you going to make up for the 500,000 vacancy?"

Sean's brows were tightly frowned. The vacancy of half a million gold coins is indeed not a small amount.

According to Neil's plan, after the establishment of the trade line in Hongye Town, the annual profit can reach 200,000 yuan. En's pocket. So if this money is used to fill the 500,000 vacancy, it will take at least five years.

five years.

Who knows what it will be like five years from now?

Neil waited for quite a while but did not see Sean's answer, so he continued: "Second question, the cost of building a military factory is not terrible. But have you ever thought about it, where are you going to get the raw materials for the military factory? If you want to form an assembly line operation, you need at least tons of ore. And according to the quality of the production equipment, the number of ore can never be single. This money is the real big money. Don’t forget our territory But no mines."

Strictly speaking, it's not that there is no mine in Sean's territory, but that the mine does not belong to Sean. Asuna dared to launch a national war for this mine back then. Although Sean said that the relationship with Asuna is currently in the honeymoon period, it is impossible for Asuna to share some of this mine with Sean, let alone It is also impossible for Sean to create high-quality standard weapons based on this vein, let alone magical equipment.

"Is there no other way?" Sean was still unwilling to give up.

"It's not that there is no way, but our territory does not have mine veins, so it would be a waste to build a military factory." Neil shook his head, "Anyway, considering the current situation in our territory, building a military factory is a bit unrealistic. ... And regarding the military aspect I’m actually not particularly good at the problem, but I’ve read these two production drawings, and it’s a bit unrealistic for the impact shield to be scaled up, mainly because the cost is too high.”

"Is there a way to get a hundred noodles first?" Xiao En reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​building a military factory, "I need it urgently."

"It's hard to scale a hundred sides, didn't you say that?"

"It is indeed difficult to form a scale in war, but it will be different if it is used in other aspects."

"What do you want?" Neil was a little puzzled.

"Wild land." Sean said.

"I forgot this." Neil slapped his forehead suddenly, and said with some annoyance, "I actually forgot another big advantage of our territory. If we can capture a large number of slaves and sell them back, it will be a fortune." It’s a lot of income. And those slave catchers can really make good use of it, otherwise it would be too much waste.”

Speaking of this, Neil suddenly smiled: "By the way, when it comes to these slave catchers, you'd better go and see them."

"What's wrong?"

"You'll know when you see it." Neil smiled mysteriously.

With a hint of doubt and curiosity, Sean turned and left the main tent of the barracks, and walked towards the other corner of the camp.

Because he wanted to take over the army left by Vivienne, William asked Reina to lead the army to expand the barracks, but this was only a temporary solution, not a permanent solution. After all, this army is too mixed, and they use all kinds of weapons. Generally, this kind of situation is basically not of much value except as cannon fodder to die, but this army has a particularly high gold content.

Not to mention the relatively rare races such as dwarves and goblins who are good at forging and scientific research, even races that are good at fighting such as bears, bulls, and wolves are not common. You must know that bears and bulls This kind of animal slaves are high-priced goods in the slave market. They are never sold in packages or in groups, but in units of one.

In the capital of trade, the price of an adult bullhead is usually hundreds of gold coins, and the price of a bear is even higher than that of a bullhead.

In the army that Vivienne left for Xiao En, the bull-headed men and the bear men accounted for the majority, with nearly 300 soldiers. If converted into gold coins, it would cost at least nearly 100,000 gold coins. Moreover, the selling prices of wolf, dwarf, and half-beast items have never been low, not to mention that there are creatures like gray elves in this army. Although the gray elves are not as handsome as the elves of his other races, from a human standpoint, both men and women of the gray elves are not bad in appearance, and their fighting strength is not weak, so they are very popular in the slave market. The price on the Internet has always been high, even higher than that of beast slaves such as bears.

If all the army that Vivienne gave to Xiao En was sold, at least hundreds of thousands of dollars could be exchanged for it. This is definitely a big deal.

The barracks are divided into several areas according to the habits of different ethnic groups. Now the militia in Baige Town can only occupy a small corner, and they can't move freely like before. And perhaps because of the inferior nature born in human beings, the militia in Baige Town looked down on the army that Vivian gave to Xiao En very much, even though the militia was only a second-level army, but this miscellaneous army was Tier 3 army.

Therefore, in order to avoid some unnecessary accidents, Reina divided all the people into areas and restricted the scope of free activities. Any violation of the people will be dealt with by military regulations. Under Reina's coercion, the militia group who had suffered enough naturally did not dare to make trouble, and all of them obediently chose to obey, and the miscellaneous soldiers who had a little temper before were finally not able to do anything after being punished by Reina. Second-rate.

Sean walked along the way, seeing completely different reactions from the eyes of this motley army.

Those who are more simple and honest like Niu Tau and Xiong have mostly kind eyes, apparently accepting their fate, and have no intention of rebelling; while the gray elves have an indifferent face, which fits their image very well Gentle personality; but the real headaches are the savages, these are some unruly guys, and their eyes are full of provocation when they look at Sean.

Barbaric, always only obey the strong.

But Sean is not in the mood to trouble these savages right now, and there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with them in the future.

In a corner of the barracks, he finally found the members of the slave hunting team that Neil had mentioned.

These people are not just pure humans, there are also savages, gray elves, and wolves among them, but the strange thing is that these people seem to be rejected by their own ethnic groups, so the members of these slave hunting teams can only live together. The number of entries is not many, only about twenty, but each entry has at least the strength of the upper Bronze Peak, and the strongest ones are even the lower Silver Peak, and the occupations are also varied, so the weapons are naturally impossible to be unified. .

But what Xiao En saw at this moment was that these twenty or so slave catchers were lining up in two rows and practicing their standing posture.

Rena is in charge of supervision.

Rui Na has half a foot in the high-ranking silver now. Although she is not a real high-ranking silver master, her strength is still much stronger than these slave catchers. Judging by the bruises on the faces of the slavers, it was obvious that Rena had suffered.

"You can't even stand well, are you guys still men?" Ruina snorted coldly, "What did I tell you before? When you enter the barracks, you are in the army, and there must be military regulations when you enter the army. Let me tell you What are the military rules?"

"Don't leave the planning area without authorization, and don't make trouble for other people."

The voice was neat and loud, but the intonation was a little strange. For the gray elves and wolves, the common language of the mainland seemed a bit difficult to learn.

"Very well, since you all know it, why bother?"

"They were the first to cause trouble, we just fought back." A middle-aged humanoid man who looked about forty replied in a deep voice, "This is all my fault, if you want to punish, please punish me alone. , big entry."

"You are very courageous." Reina sneered, "I said before, I don't care what conflicts you have with other people, whoever leaves his own area first to find trouble for other people in the area, then whoever will be the first Mistakes were made. . . . You are at odds with each other, and I welcome competition, but if you seek to cause trouble, then you will be punished."

"Daru, it's not fair, why are they looking for trouble first and they won't be punished!"

"Because they have more brains than you." Rena mocked, "I made the rules, they know how to use the rules, and you break the rules, so this is your problem. If you feel unconvinced, let them break it next time Rules, I will naturally punish them."

Seeing this, Sean basically understood what was going on, so he stepped forward: "Who did they fight with?"

"Big Sean." Seeing Sean approaching, Rina immediately stepped aside to show her respect for Sean, "They fought with the Wolf, it seems that because the wolf tribe would become The captives were the way to lead a wolf here, but later this slave hunting team was annihilated by Vivienne, so these wolves became Vivian's spoils of war.... These people will be rejected by their respective tribes, It’s all because they became slave hunters and took the slave hunters to find trouble for their own tribe.”

Lead the way?

Sean likes o Ah!

"What's the result?" Sean asked again, very gossip.

"Those wolves are basically trash, and the fifty or so can't beat the twenty or so." Reina looked disdainful.

The slave catchers seemed to be very proud of this victory. When they heard Reina mocking the wolves, all the slave catchers showed a look of arrogance, as if they felt that Reina's words were praising them.

"Yo, you guys are quite proud. The 20-odd men beat the 50-odd men, and the average record is 2 men." Ruina glanced at the slave hunters coldly, with a mocking voice It's thicker, "But you are even more useless than those wolves, you can't even beat me alone. Are you really men? Don't use your realm as an excuse, those wolves don't even have silver, you here But there are four lower-ranking silvers...all of them lie down and do 300 push-ups."

Rui Na's last sentence was completely yelled out. These slave catchers seemed to be really scared of being beaten. When they heard this, they immediately fell to the ground and began to do push-ups. No one dared to be lazy or play tricks. Seeing this scene, Sean finally understood the meaning of Neil's mysterious smile. It seems that during the time when he was not in the barracks, Rena organized the army very well.

However, none of the more than twenty slave catchers could beat Reina alone, which made Xiao En have to re-examine Reina's strength.
