This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 177 The Kingdom of Rage is preparing for war

The royal palace of the Raging Tide Kingdom is a huge palace built on the mountain. Although it is huge and majestic, the details are very rough.

People who believe in the Storm Lord prefer this rough style of painting. After all, the Berserker does not match the delicate and exquisite style of painting.

 Therefore, there are no extra decorations inside the palace. Even the statue of Thanos, the Lord of Storms, is only huge and cannot be said to be very detailed.

The current King of Fury is sitting in front of the statue of the Storm Lord, and Monger Gray River, whose flagship was repaired by Umber, is kneeling in front of the king.

 Twelve medium-sized battleships were lost, as well as one Stormrage, which was also a great loss to the kingdom.

Even though Meng Huihe was a famous general in the kingdom, such a loss still angered the king.

The king suppressed his anger and said to Meng Huihe: "Is this the so-called intelligence you brought back? There is a legendary mage in the group of undead, and that's it?"

“Your Majesty, the real point is not this legendary mage, but why the group of undead pirates sent a ship to pick up this legendary mage.”

Monge Gray River's words made the king frown and asked, "What do you mean, what are their plans next?"

With the Storm Lord's blessing, their spells can be stored in a special way. When needed, you can activate it directly, saving time on casting spells.

There are three legendary mages, and the gold coins spent on these three every year are almost one-tenth of the tax revenue.

 But the problem is that this kind of advance preparation can only last for about a month, and then the entire army will need to rest for more than half a year. Moreover, they need a very huge space when they form a group to cast spells. No ship can allow the Raging Tide Legion to cast spells on it.

"Your Majesty, I have sent people to investigate. Hai Feng told us that this legendary mage should be on a ship on the west coast of Emerald Dream Forest. The Silent Night Pirates have always been elusive, and they suddenly invited such a strong reinforcement. There are big plans coming down, maybe they will take the initiative to attack our city. Your Majesty, we need to prepare as soon as possible."

There are only two legends that truly belong to the Kingdom of Rage. One is the current king, and the other is the next heir. But it was a kingdom after all, so they spent money to raise several court mages.

Amberxiu had also considered applying for jobs in other kingdoms before. One of his goals was the Kingdom of Rage, but he gave up because it was too far away.

The king then ordered: "Notify the court mages. After raising them for so many years, it's time to put them to use."

The king asked nervously: "Which city are they going to attack?"

"But these are just speculations. You don't have any evidence." The king is not a real fool. If Meng Gray River's judgment is wrong, the Raging Tide Legion's efforts will be in vain.

The power of the Silent Night Pirates has been spread since the founding of the Kingdom of Rage. No one dares to underestimate this group of undead.

"I don't know, but the sea breeze will tell us. As long as they take action, we will definitely be able to discover it in advance, but the important thing now is to integrate our forces. Your Majesty, this pirate group has many legendary strong men, we must let us The Raging Tide Legion is ready to fight."

 Compared with other kingdoms, the Rage Kingdom is the one with the shortest time and the weakest strength.

 In addition, the kingdom was also prepared to fight.

Monge Gray River's last words finally moved the king, and he was ready to order the Raging Tide Legion to prepare.

Meng Gray River said: "Within a month, they will definitely launch an attack, so let the Raging Tide Legion prepare now, and they will definitely be able to give them a fatal blow at the critical moment. This is the important information I need to report, Your Majesty , prepare in advance, maybe you can completely eliminate this group of undead."

If manpower can be integrated together, the kingdom's power will definitely be stronger than a pirate group. For a kingdom like Lane, which can transform the faith of all people into holy light, ordinary gods would not dare to provoke it.

 This legion named after the country has a small number of people, only about a thousand people in total, and there are no legendary strong men, but what they are best at is combination of spells. Give them enough time to prepare, and they can summon strong winds and thunderstorms that are enough to kill a strong man of legendary rank.

If Mengg Gray River's intelligence is true, then they can indeed rely on the teleportation arrays in each city to maneuver, allowing the Raging Tide Legion to reach the battlefield as soon as possible. Each city has enough space for the Raging Tide Legion to cast spells and carry out magical strikes against these undead.

 In the past, the Kingdom of Rage had been suffering from the Silent Night Pirates, entirely because they were unpredictable and would never attack cities, but would only choose to intercept merchant ships on the sea.

Each kingdom has its own special legion. Lane is the paladin, Alchemy City is the golem, the elves are the Twilight Guards, and the dwarves are their iron guards... and the Raging Tide Kingdom is the Raging Tide Legion composed of a large number of Storm Priests.

"But we have no losses. Anyway, the Raging Tide Legion cannot exert their power on the sea. Even if the inference is wrong, it will only let them rest for more than half a year. But if my guess is correct, then we may be able to completely solve this hidden danger. "

 Now, when the kingdom is at its most critical moment, it is time for these masters to contribute.

 The king's order was sent to the three court mages. They all expressed that they would do their best to be worthy of the salaries they had received over the years.

 The king is very satisfied. Together with himself, the five legends, and the power of the Raging Tide Legion should be enough to deal with this group of undead pirates. The Kingdom of Wrath began to prepare for war with all its strength, hoping to complete the battle in one battle and completely resolve the shadow that has shrouded the kingdom since its founding.

However, not even a day later, an uninvited guest broke into the palace and said angrily to the king: "How could you issue such a military order?"

The King of Raging Tide looked lovingly at the angry-faced woman in front of him. This was his daughter and the next successor to the Kingdom of Raging Tide.

“Ariel, don’t be so excited. What’s wrong with this order? Shouldn’t we be prepared for war?”

 The king's tone was very gentle, as if he was reluctant to speak loudly to his daughter.

Princess Ariel, who had red hair, did not give her father any face, and said loudly: "You think that war will definitely come because of what Meng Gray River said? Father, our kingdom is not originally No matter how wealthy we are, once many ports are closed due to war, it will cause huge losses. We cannot afford to lose this money."

The Kingdom of Rage is not rich and can be called the poorest of the nine kingdoms.

After all, it was a lost dog that was expelled after the defeat. In addition, the overseas islands lacked supplies, so it was the weakest among the nine kingdoms in terms of population and economy. It only relied on the sea to maintain its independence.

 Other kingdoms can mobilize for war at any time, but if the Kingdom of Rage remains idle for even half a day, many people will starve to death.

The king said excitedly: "The Silent Night Pirates are our biggest hidden danger. As long as we can deal with them, everything will be worth it. If we kill these **** undead, we will be the real overlords of the sea. Only here can the kingdom develop." Get up. Ariel, you should understand this very well.

"You are a child born on the sea. When you were born, the sky was filled with thunder to celebrate you. You are the darling of the gods. You are my best heir. I hope that you inherit a perfect kingdom, not a perfect kingdom." A ruined country that is suppressed by the undead and can only survive. "

Thunder was brewing in his brows, and the King of Angry Tide had had enough of this humiliation.

Most people who believe in the Lord of Storms don't like to use their brains, so the King of Rage now just wants to have a good fight with those undead. As for the consequences of national mobilization, he didn't want to think about it at all now.

Ariel also understands that these undead are the inner demons of the entire Kingdom of Rage. Kings of all generations have wanted to eradicate this hidden danger, but no one has been able to do it. Two kings have even died at the hands of these undead, but Ariel Thought the problem could be solved in another way.

Although the Silent Night Pirates have been causing losses to the kingdom, if you really want to calculate it carefully, it is not as big as imagined.

The undead sleep for years, even decades. The same is true for the Silent Night Pirates. The frequency of their plunders is actually very low. Even if they cause losses every time, if you calculate the average, they are not as large as the losses caused by natural disasters such as tsunamis and storms.

On the contrary, after so many years since the establishment of the kingdom, more and more funds have been spent on dealing with the Silent Night Pirates, making the kingdom overwhelmed.

It would be okay if we could win, but if we keep losing, there would be no effective results at all.

Even the commander Meng Huihe, who occasionally took advantage of the situation, became a "famous general". This shows how poor their tactical effects are, and these military expenditures can be said to be wasted.

According to Ariel's idea, the kingdom should negotiate with the Silent Night Pirates, pay them regular tribute, and agree not to invade each other. This is the most economical way.

As long as the kingdom can develop stably, there will be more and more money and population, and with more of these two things, the national power will become stronger and stronger. There will be more legendary powerhouses in the country, and they will also have money to recruit more court mages.

 When enough strength is accumulated, it will not be too late to deal with this group of undead.

Every war now is tightening the throat of the kingdom. If this continues, the kingdom will collapse. And this time it is even more outrageous. It feels like gathering all the strength to bet on the fate of the country. What if the bet loses?

Ariel did not think that the Raging Tide Legion could pose a threat to the undead, and those palace mages who were paid to do things would not risk their lives. Once the situation was unfavorable, they would probably run faster than anyone else.

Calculating it this way, the only ones who can really be relied upon by then are the King of Fury and Ariel herself.

Can just two legends deal with this group of powerful undead?

 But Ariel’s father didn’t think so. He couldn’t accept the humiliation, and the national economy and people’s livelihood were not as important as his anger.

The father and daughter talked for a long time. Although the king was reluctant to scold his daughter, he still firmly believed that his order was correct and would not change it.

Ariel was helpless. After all, her father was the king. As a princess, she only had the authority to make suggestions and could not disobey the king's orders.

Now, the only option is to go to Meng Huihe. Only by making this man admit that he is falsely reporting military information can it be possible for his father to withdraw this order.
