Start with an Archangel

Wanting to start a national war is not something that can be done in a day or two. Anyway, the gold merchants who are determined to bring the entire East Asian continent on a chariot have put all their abilities into it.

If successful, the lords' arrogance will be dispelled and they will not dare to launch a gold coin war at will. The gold merchants will once again fully control the gold price and control the circulation of gold coins. Their position in the game will be unshakable.

If they fail, the industry in the game will be destroyed, and the gold merchants who are also struggling outside the game are likely to be kicked out of the game. Then the lords and large guilds headed by Shi Fei will begin to dominate the Chinese market in the game.

The five major gold merchants relied on the mansion at No. 312 Angel Avenue to begin the implementation of their plans. Daliang, who had money in his hands, also began to build up his territory and expand his army.

As the artillery and ship peripherals were gradually delivered to Boss Jin's Jiuding Merchant Alliance, Daliang's account suddenly increased by more than two million gold coins, and the squandering began.

First, give half a million gold coins to Sidney for daily maintenance and training of the Black Fire Fleet.

Then all buildings in the second-level territory began construction.

From Chongming Island, Astro used spiritualism to bring nearly 3,000 skeleton soldiers to Da Liang. There was enough labor, and all the buildings in the Black Fire Territory and Feichen Island were under construction at that time.

After this round of construction, Daliang’s territory can be upgraded to a third-level territory with the accumulation of 500,000 funds. Marquis Stanley promised that Daliang could provide all the basic building drawings for the Level 5 territory. The remaining funds in Daliang's hands could also support the construction of some buildings in the Level 3 territory.

And buy the walking dead.

Although Plague Creepers cost a lot of money, they can be used at critical times to achieve miraculous effects, so it is still necessary to have a regular army of Plague Creepers.

Daliang planned to keep the reserve scale of plague crawlers at 300. Including those placed on the battleship, the total number should be 400. He would need to purchase 2,000 walking zombies and 64,000 gold coins.

According to Marquis Stanley's calculation ability, it is 65,000 gold. Forget it, bear with me. Not only is it slow to get it from ordinary players, but it may not be available at this price.

Next came shipbuilding.

Now Daliang has one drawing of a three-masted battleship, two drawings of a two-masted battleship, and four drawings of a single-masted battleship.

Pudong fleet internal price

Single-masted battleship: 1,000 gold for the bare ship; 10 cannons, each worth 200 gold, a total of 2,000 gold; peripherals worth 1,000 gold.

One single-masted battleship costs 4,000 gold, and four ships cost 16,000 gold.

Brigantine battleship: bare ship 5000 gold; 20 cannons, 200 gold each, a total of 4000 gold; peripherals 3000 gold,

One brigantine battleship costs 12,000 gold, and two ships cost 24,000 gold.

Three-masted warship: bare ship costs 25,000 gold; 44 cannons, each costing 200 gold, totaling 8,800 gold; peripherals cost 15,000 gold.

A three-masted battleship costs 48,800 gold.

The total cost of building a new ship is 88,800 gold, which is an auspicious number.

A few days ago, Daliang would never have built these ships. But now, if there is no shortage of money, we can build them all.

All seven warships were commissioned to be built by the Pudong Fleet Shipyard. The great ambitions are still unfinished. Why can’t the money in the wallet seem to be spent?

So Da Liang returned to No. 312 Angel Avenue to find Boss Jin.

In just one day, a large number of players settled in the mansion rented by the gold merchants.

Each room has been labeled and has its own function. A sand table is being arranged in the center of the hall, and the outline of the China area has been revealed.

The soldiers mobilized by the Black Fire Lord have begun patrolling the entire mansion. Any outsiders who are not authorized to enter will be attacked by them.

Sigh... In my imagination, my mansion should be filled with beauties of all races. Every time I open a door, there will be surprises waiting for me.

But for now... I can only endure it for now. After all, it is only 100,000 gold coins, and it is only rented to them for a month. After one month, this place will be my brother's happy nest.

"Brother Jin, do you have any shipbuilding blueprints for a two-masted battleship or above?"

Entering the room named Study, Daliang saw Boss Jin drinking tea from a teacup and asked directly.

"Now all player groups are working hard to build maritime power. Shipbuilding blueprints are the most in-demand commodity now. If you want single-masted battleship blueprints, brother, I will search the bottom of the box and try my best to get you two. Two-masted battleship blueprints, they are really It’s so scarce that it’s impossible to circulate on the market.”

The other four gold merchants also said that the blueprints were for direct shipbuilding, with no intention of selling them out. In the early stage of seizing maritime resources, of course, priority was given to developing one's own fleet.

Look at the shipyards in the coastal cities now. They are all spitting out ships like dumplings. However, there are no shipbuilding drawings on the regular market. The occasional one-masted battleship drawings are sold instantly for less than 5,000 gold unless the price is outrageous. Buy it, and then throw it into some shipyard.

It's just that most of the current battleships are single-masted battleships, and a small number of two-masted battleships are preciously used as flagships. Merchant ships are better, there are more drawings of two-masted merchant ships, and it is not uncommon for players with good luck to build a three-masted merchant ship.

In short, the era of great navigation for players has arrived, and the sea will no longer be calm.

In their spare time, the five big gold merchants began to discuss how the maritime business would be carried out in the future, but Daliang, who knew nothing about business, could not understand a word.

Since he couldn't buy the ship map here, Daliang was ready to leave.

At this time, a big boss said in surprise: "Shi Fei reacted so quickly! They are no longer pressing the gold price, and are just like us trying to buy gold coins. It seems that he has guessed our preparations to launch a national war."

Boss Jin said: "Feishanzushi is a very shrewd person, and it is not unusual for him to guess. They must be trying every means to find out our plans, and the confidentiality work must be strengthened again."

"Don't worry, I'll put a legion rally flag here, and you won't have to go through the door to get in or out. No one except my close friends knows I'm here."

"I hope that the real plan, especially the starting point of the national war, is only known to the six of us. By raising the price of gold, we are actually making enemies of players in the entire Chinese region. We are at a strategic disadvantage in the face of flying sand and stones. Once caught, If you hold on to the handle, the flying sand and flying stones will stick to it, and you will probably fall short of the success."

Others nodded in agreement. Ordinary players must hope that the price of gold will plummet.

Daliang said: "I promise not to tell you about the plan. My Silver Pegasus troops have already flown to the starting point of the national war. You will provide supplies along the way. Everyone, bosses, go ahead and I will take my leave."

Just when Daliang placed a legion gathering flag in the study, Xu Man said to Daliang on the legion channel: "Order the ruling legion to assemble. We are besieged by a large number of players."

Daliang immediately used the Return to the City to teleport out, and then rode the Silver Pegasus to the Judgment Station. At the same time, he asked Xu Man: "What happened?"

"I don't know yet, but it seems to be a collective action by the major guilds in Shangjiang. Now our legion station and Yunxiao Territory have been collectively attacked by these guilds. You come back quickly to command the battle at the Judgment Legion station and I will go to Yunxiao Territory to organize the defense. "
