Douluo welcomes everyone here After temporarily suppressing the toxins in his body, Arthur came to his office and began to deal with the backlog of official duties in the past two days.
And on all the official documents, there is a line of bloody big words money, money, money, dear Royal Highness, please give us an appropriation, enough money Money, lack of money Grain and grass, lack of food Equipment, lack of ordnance and weapons At the end of the day, Arthur was short of money.
On the surface, he expanded the private army of ten legions, but in private, he made a decision that was enough to shock the entire Western Continent, ten people drew one soldier, even in the craziest stage of the Hundred Years of Land Island War, this kind of thing never happened.
But the direct consequence of the frenzied expansion of the army was that there was a lack of money, Arthur was very short of money, and he was so poor that he couldn't even pay the salaries of the soldiers under his command, let alone enough food for these soldiers to consume, let alone the amount of ordnance and armor that was so large that it was crumbling Ordinary war knives, long swords, and slightly better ones also require at least one gold coin; Ordinary leather armor, even if it is a bad leather armor, you can't take it without three gold coins; As for longbows and crossbows, they are even more expensive.
But you don't want all your soldiers to fight with the worst weapons and the worst armor At the very least, there are also a few high-grade steel knives and long swords, which cannot be taken without five or six gold coins; At the very least, it is necessary to have ordinary leather armor or ordinary iron armor of the fine level, which costs about ten gold coins; This is just the equipment of the most ordinary soldiers, those elite legions' heavy infantry, light cavalry, heavy cavalry and even Warcraft cavalry, plus those special magic crossbows, sniper crossbows, magic repeater crossbowmen.
As well as the equipment of the siege machinery corps, an ordinary trebuchet is worth thousands of gold coins, and a little magic rune can easily cost tens of thousands of gold coins, and an ordinary stone bullet thrown costs the price of several silver coins, and the magic bullet thrown is even more according to the size of the magic power, ranging from tens, hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of gold coins.
If it's a strategic-level magic bullet with a small forbidden spell-level magic attached, you can't take it down at all without millions of gold coins Arthur assembled an army of such a perverted scale.
The gold consumed is also of perverted scale.
As a rough estimate, without the investment of hundreds of millions of gold coins, Arthur simply could not afford the consumption of this army.
This is only the most basic consumption, taking into account the wear and tear of ordnance during the march and the cost of food and grass, this figure has to be multiplied several times All the official documents are crying and asking for money, and what Arthur lacks now is money "Lady Greenfen, my dear little beauty, I hope you will get enough money from that lovely earl as soon as possible" Arthur was annoyed with all the gold coins...
Oh.
No.
He threw all the official documents on the ground and walked out of the office with a gloomy face.
"How many gold coins do I have in my treasury?"
Arthur looked coldly at his attendant.
The attendant officer smiled bitterly: "Your Highness."
You still have 370,000 gold coins in your treasury.
It's your last money."
Arthur's body shook, and he almost didn't vomit blood.
He scraped land for several years in several northern provinces.
There were even a number of nobles in the eastern plains to collect money, and all the money they looted was spent in the past year What nightmare news Taking a deep breath, Arthur said in a deep voice: "Allocate this money to the Snow Birch Heavy Cavalry Regiment, they have been training hard these days, and the horseshoes are extremely worn, let them use this money to replace the horseshoes" The Snow Birch Heavy Cavalry Regiment was one of the most gold-swallowing legions of Arthur's openly expanded regular legions. 60,000 regular heavy cavalry.
Together with the 120,000 leather-clad cavalry, there were more than 300,000 mounts in total.
Half of these mounts are ordinary horses, and the horseshoe needs to be replaced from time to time, which is a lot of money.
After allocating the last 370,000 gold coins, Arthur was officially destitute, except for a few gold coins in his pocket, he no longer had a penny.
Fortunately, the huge palace he built outside the city of New Dunker was free of charge, and all the craftsmen and men brought their own rations.
Otherwise he would really be crying.
Dejected, he left the palace with a group of knights, and Arthur walked through the alleys of New Dunker in a daze.
He wants to use these remote alleys to sort out his thoughts on how to get more money All the means available to him now have been used, and it is impossible for Mrs.
Greenfen to come up with more cash for him, after all, Lady Greenfen is now under his control.
But there was a behemoth behind Lady Greenfen, the old immortal fellow.
It's something Arthur doesn't want to provoke easily.
On his own, Arthur didn't have any talent for management, and he really couldn't figure out where to get the money.
Wandering all the way, Arthur led the people to the port of New Dunker.
Lin Li and Yun Tianyi's undead ships were still unloading, and a large number of strange goods from the Undead Continent and the Eastern Continent were being sent into the port's warehouse by horse-drawn carriage.
Forget about the goods of the Eastern Continent, these things are still relatively common.
But those strange items produced on the Undead Continent are valuable treasures in the Western Continent.
For example, some special herbs that are contaminated with the breath of the undead are necessary ingredients for secret medicine masters to refine various secret medicines that prolong life and stay youthful.
Such a medicinal herb, those noble ladies and ladies will go crazy for them.
Arthur looked at the mountain of goods, his eyes flashing with a dazzling fierce light.
Perhaps, he found a new way to make money.
"Of course, my father, Lord Blackbeard, your old business, how did I forget this" Arthur laughed weirdly: "The cargo ships that have entered the port are of course not good targets for plunder, but the merchant ships that have not yet entered the port are not up to you." ” Arthur blinked desperately, and with great interest, he left the civilian port and strode towards the military dock across the mountain.
Climb up a hill to the east of the port of Neudenker and go down the avenue carved out in the mountain, and another huge bay below the hill is where the military port of Neudenker is located.
Today, the entire Gallic Empire's North Sea Garrison is stationed in this military port, and aside from the warships that are cruising and patrolling the North Sea, there are about 150 heavy warships docked here all year round.
When Arthur led the people into the military port, a high-pitched horn sounded, and two tattered troop transports were slowly landing on a pier with thick black smoke.
With the sound of neat slogans, both teams were covered in blood, but the high-spirited fighters walked down neatly from the troop carrier.

The two teams of warriors combined were only more than 300 people, but their morale was high, and there was a thick evil aura around them, and all the rune weapons they were holding were rune weapons, and there were neat rune shields made by dwarves hanging on their backs, and under the shields were all heavy repeaters.
And behind the few fighters who didn't have shields on their backs, what they were carrying was an ultra-long-range sniper crossbow from Qingyi'er.
And what we all know is that the reason why the ultra-long-range sniper crossbow has such a perverted range is because the magic array above it provides super power for the arrows.
In other words, every sniper crossbow is a serious magic crossbow.
And a qualified magic crossbow, no matter how cheap it is, its unit price will cost tens of thousands of gold coins.
The armor on these warriors is even more rune leather armor, these rune leather armor is light and dexterous, which does not hinder their mobility in the slightest, but the defensive power of these armors is comparable to that of alloy plate armor.
There is no doubt that this is an elite soldier, and there are very few such elite squads in Arthur's army.
Arthur looked at this brave army with satisfaction, and he happily asked, "This team is good, their boss is... ” Before the words fell, Arthur's face changed suddenly, and he stared at Enzo and the others who walked slowly out of the bow of the boat, and his face turned iron blue.
Enzo, Linzi's hardcore Enzo, was in Dunrk, when Arthur was an adopted child of Blackbeard, and when Linzi was the eldest young master of the Black Tiger family, Enzo had a conflict with Arthur in Dunerke.
At that time, Arthur was completely suppressed by Lin Qi in the Black Tiger family, and Enzo's collision with Arthur made Arthur unforgettable for a lifetime.
But when Arthur succeeded in sending Linzi to the Black Abyss Prison, and when Arthur rose in the Gallic Empire, Arthur had ignored Enzo, a small man.
He transferred Arthur to his command with just a letter of letters, and then he completely forgot about Enzo's existence.
But the generals, who were very good at slapping horses, arranged for Enzo to take his brothers on various mortal missions again and again.
Trap after trap, breakthrough after breakout, Enzo went from a dignified colonel to a captain, and his subordinates were only a few hundred people left.
Arthur thought that Enzo had died in the chaos a long time ago, but he never dreamed that the Enzo he saw today would actually control such a fierce and powerful elite army Like a sharp sword, Enzo walked down the gangway with a mighty stride, leading his warriors in a procession toward the Cedar Legion's garrison.
Arthur and the others stood in the distance, and there were warriors in armor everywhere, and Enzo did not notice Arthur.
Staring at the distant backs of Enzo and his party, Arthur took a deep breath.
"The current commander of the Cedar Legion is not doing well, and he will be tortured by the correctional center and punished for heresy."
"I've heard that there has been an unusual movement of those alien races in the Odin Ice Fields recently, which I am afraid will be detrimental to the Gallic Empire.
In order to detect the movements of the aliens, it is necessary to send an elite team to infiltrate the Odin Ice Field, go deep into the ice field, capture at least one wizard of the Odin Temple, and torture the alien race for the battle plan Remember, it must be the most elite and well-equipped team" Arthur glanced sideways at the attendant standing beside him, and said in a low voice, "Remember, it's the most well-equipped."
The attendant nodded knowingly, Enzo and the others who had just disembarked from the ship, their equipment was very good But what is surprising is where the equipment of this group of guys came from However, it doesn't matter, because they don't need any equipment anymore because they're very fast.
