Lord of War

   "You are crazy!" Neil roared loudly, "Now that the situation in the territory is about to build an army factory? Do you think it's too much money?"

"We can consider using war to support war." 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. Words are extremely beneficial. And you see, we now have hundreds of dwarves and goblins. If these resources are not used, it would be a waste. Can you still count on goblins on the battlefield?"

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

"what is the problem."

"First, the initial investment of our territory requires 1.7 million yuan, but we currently have about 2.5 million yuan left." Neal opened an account book and listed various items in detail. Various financial revenue and expenditure data can be described as clear enough to be clear at a glance, "According to your calculation, the establishment of a military factory requires at least more than one million funds. This is related to the scale. A smaller one is fine, but at least It also needs about one million yuan, and it is impossible for the territory to leave reserve funds, so if you count it seriously, at least three million yuan is needed. How are you going to fill the vacancy of half a million?"

   Sean's brows are frowning, the vacancy of half a million gold coins is indeed not a small amount.

According to Neal’s plan, after the establishment of the trade line in Hongye Town, the annual profit can reach 200,000, but after deducting other expenses, only about 100,000 gold coins actually fall into Xiao En's pocket. Therefore, it would take at least five years to fill the vacancy of 500,000 with this sum of money.

  Five years.

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

Neil waited for a while without seeing Sean answer, so he continued: "The second question, the cost of building the military factory is not terrible. But have you 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 head, don’t forget our territory But there is no mine."

  Strictly speaking, it is not that Sean’s territory does not have a mine, but that this mine does not belong to Sean. Asuna dared to initiate a nationwide war for this mineral vein. Although Sean’s relationship with Asuna is currently in the honeymoon period, it is impossible for Asuna to distribute this mineral vein to Sean, not to mention. It is impossible for Sean to create high-quality standard weapons based on this vein alone, let alone demonized equipment.

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

"There is no way, but our territory does not have mineral veins. Even if we build a military factory, it would be a waste." Neil shook his head. "Anyway, for the current situation in our territory, building a military factory is a bit unrealistic. ... And regarding the military. I’m not really good at the problem, but I’ve read these two production drawings. If the impact shield wants to form a scale, it’s a bit unrealistic. The main reason is that the cost is too high."

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

   "It is difficult to scale with one hundred noodles. Didn't you say that?"

   "It is really difficult to scale up in war, but it will be different if it is used in other areas."

   "What do you want to do?" Neil was puzzled.

   "The Wild Land." Sean said.

"I forgot about this." Neil slapped his forehead suddenly, and said with some annoyance, "I actually forgot another big advantage of our territory. If a large number of slaves can be captured and sold back, it would be a fortune. A lot of income. And those slave hunters can really make good use of it, otherwise it would be too wasteful."

  Speaking of this, Neil suddenly smiled: "By the way, speaking of these slave hunters, you'd better go and see them."

"what happened?"

   "You will know when you go to see it." Neal smiled mysteriously.

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

  Because of receiving Vivian to leave the army, William asked Rena to take someone to expand the barracks, but this is only a temporary solution instead of a permanent cure. After all, this army is too mixed, and the weapons they use are all kinds of weapons. Generally, in this situation, apart from being used as cannon fodder to die, there is basically no much value, but the gold content of this army is particularly high.

Not to mention the relatively rare races that are good at forging and scientific research, such as dwarves and goblins. Even the races that are good at fighting such as bears, taurens, and werewolves are by no means common. You must know that orcs such as bears and taurens. Slaves are high-priced goods in the slave market, and their sales have never been packaged or sold in groups, but on a unit basis.

  In the trading capital, an adult tauren is often the price of hundreds of gold coins, and the price of a bear is higher than that of a tauren.

  In the army that Vivian left to Sean, the tauren and the bear accounted for the majority. There were nearly three hundred people. If converted into gold coins, it would be at least nearly 100,000 gold coins. And the prices of werewolves, dwarves, and half-orcs 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, according to human standards, the men and women of the gray elves are pretty good regardless of their appearance, and the fighting strength is not weak, so the price in the slave market has always been Remaining high, even higher than orc slaves such as bear people.

  The army that Vivian gave to Sean, if they were all sold, they could at least exchange hundreds of thousands of dollars in income, which 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, unlike before, which can move at will. And perhaps it is the inherent inferiority of human beings. The militia regiment of Baige Town despises the army that Vivian gave to Sean very much, even if the militia regiment is only a second-tier army, and this miscellaneous army is a third-tier army.

  So in order to avoid some unnecessary accidents, Rena divides everyone into areas and restricts the scope of free activities. Anyone who violates it will be subject to military regulations. Under the coercion of Rena, the militia that had suffered enough did not dare to make trouble. All of them obediently chose to obey. However, the miscellaneous army who had been somewhat tempered before was also cleaned up by Rena, and finally did not dare to do it. Second-rate.

  Sean walked along the way, and all he saw in the eyes of this miscellaneous army were totally different reactions.

People like tauren and bear are more honest, their eyes are mostly kind, obviously accepting their own destiny, and have no intention of resisting; while the gray elves are indifferent, which fits their image and character very well. ; But it is the barbarians who really have some headaches, these are some unruly guys, their eyes are full of provocation when they see Sean.

  Barbarians, always only serve the strong.

  But Sean is not in the mood to trouble these savages now, and there will be opportunities to clean them up in the future.

  In a corner of the barracks, he finally found the members of the slave trap that Neil said.

  These people are not just pure humans. There are also barbarians, gray elves, and werewolves, but it is amazing that these people seem to be repelled by their own race, so the members of the slave hunting team can only live together. The number is small, only twenty or so, but everyone has at least the strength of the upper bronze pinnacle, and the strongest ones are even the lower silver pinnacles, and the professions are also diverse, so naturally the weapons cannot be unified.

  But what Xiao En saw at this moment was that these twenty-something slave arresters were standing in two rows.

  Rena is responsible for supervising.

  Rina has now half-footed into the upper silver. Although she is not a real upper silver master, she is still much stronger than these slave hunters. Looking at the bruises on the faces of these slave hunters, it is obvious that they have all suffered from Rena.

"You can't even stand well, are you still men?" Rina snorted coldly. "What did I tell you before? You are a soldier when you enter the barracks. Soldiers must have military regulations. I will tell you about the military regulations. What is it?"

  "You are not allowed to leave the planned area without authorization, and you are not allowed to trouble other people."

  The voice is neat and loud, but the tone is a bit strange. For the gray elves and werewolves, the mainland lingua franca seems a bit difficult to learn.

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

"They came to make trouble first. We are just fighting back." A middle-aged human man who looked about forty replied in a deep voice, "This is all my fault. If you want to punish me, please punish me alone, sir. ."

"You are very courageous." Rina sneered. "I said before. I don't care what conflicts you have with other people. Whoever leaves your own area to find trouble with people in other areas, then whoever comes first You have made a mistake.... You are at odds with each other. I welcome competition, but if you want to make trouble, then you have to accept punishment."

  "My lord, this is not fair. Why are they not punished because of the trouble they found first!"

"Because they have more brains than you." Rina 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 the rules next time. , I will naturally punish them."

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

"Master Shaun." Seeing Shaun coming over, Rina immediately stepped aside to show her respect for Shaun. A werewolf inside led the way, but later this slave hunting team was annihilated by Master Vivienne, so these werewolves became Master Vivienne’s spoils.... These people would be rejected by their respective tribes because they became trappers. The slaves brought the slave hunting team to trouble with their tribe."

  Lead the way party?

  Sean likes it!

   "What's the result?" Xiao En asked again, quite gossip.

   "Those werewolves are basically rubbish, more than fifty people can't beat these twenty people." Rina looked disdainful.

  The slave hunters seemed to be very proud of the result of the battle. When Rena ridiculed the werewolves, all the slave hunters showed a proud face, seeming to think that Rena was praising them.

"Yeah, you are quite proud. More than 20 people have won more than 50 people. The average record of each person is two people." Rina glanced at these slave trappers coldly, and her mocking voice was even greater. It’s thicker, "But you’re even more useless than those werewolves, even I can’t beat me alone. Are you really men? Don’t use the realm as an excuse, those werewolves don’t even have silver, but you have four here. What about the silver in the lower position....All of them are on the ground and do three hundred push-ups."

  Rina's last sentence was completely roared. These slave trappers seemed to be really afraid of being beaten. Hearing this, they immediately fell to the ground and started doing push-ups. No one dared to be lazy or tricky. Seeing this scene, Sean finally knew the meaning of Neil's mysterious smile. It seemed that during this period of time when he was not in the barracks, Rena had done a good job of reorganizing the army.

  However, none of the more than twenty slave arresters could beat Rina alone. This made Sean have to re-examine Rina's strength.
