Chapter 147 (1/2)
The dawn offensive and defensive war ended quietly in this way. The dawn city won the battle with undamaged and perfect results, and seized a large number of weapons and armor. Most importantly, it got 20000 crossbows. This thing is a treasure. It is very valuable. Even if it is the whole thief alliance, it is only these 20000 locusts.
The hand crossbow is very small. It is only the size of a plate. It has a comfortable handle. One crossbow can fill ten crossbows and arrows. Its range reaches 50 meters. It is as fast as lightning and has strong penetration. It is a combat weapon jointly developed by the elves and dwarves.
The price of a crossbow has reached an exaggerated price of one million, and the total value of 20000 crossbows has reached a terrible price of 20 billion. Most importantly, it is impossible to wholesale this thing. It is bought privately by thieves. Otherwise, even if it takes ten years, we can't afford so many crossbows!
Hand crossbows are special for thieves, and they can't be bought anywhere. Most of them are handed down from the family, or they can be bought in some remote shops. Now this handicraft has long been lost. It can be said that the locust army is the most powerful branch of the thief army, but all of them are damaged in front of dawn city because of the command of the commander.
With 20000 crossbows, Soga did not waste, and directly distributed them to 10000 sword shield soldiers and 10000 spearmen. In this way, while defending, they have the ability to suppress at a medium distance, and the improvement of their combat power is amazing.
After the battle, in order to avoid the plague, all the bodies outside the city were gathered together. After watering the tree oil, they all burned. The thick black smoke can be seen hundreds of miles away. After all... It was caused by the burning of 60000 bodies.
The smoke recorded by later generations as dawn cooking smoke has been rising all day and night, and then it gradually dissipates. The whole sky over the dawn is completely covered by black smoke. However, everyone knows that this is only the beginning. There must be a lot more to be faced by the dawn.
In the face of the coming storm, there is no fear from dawn city. The perfect victory makes everyone full of confidence. At the same time, Soga's prestige has been crazy raised to an exaggerated level. Every order of Soga will be fully implemented and no one will oppose it.
Some people may feel that this is exaggerated, but imagine that in the battle of 100000 people against 100000 people, dawn city did not lose a soldier. Isn't it a miracle? You know, miracles can only be started by people who have always been miracles. How can ordinary people create miracles?
The great victory of the dawn campaign made every slave soldier confident and worked hard and actively. Every day he spontaneously mined stones and transported them to the city wall to heighten and strengthen the city wall. The city wall of dawn is heightening and strengthening at a miraculous speed every day.
A few weeks later, on the day Suoga turned 13, the six winged Phoenix angels came back. In fact, they should have come back long before the war, but they delayed coming back until now. Suoga was very unhappy about this.
In the face of Soga's inquiry, domei explained in detail. After escorting Nefarian's family to the site, they immediately rushed to Odom's Alchemy laboratory and installed the remaining magic coupling, but... At this time, they learned a very bad news from the mercenary Union.
After leaving for too long, some thieves seem to have forgotten the horror of the blood angel. They robbed the caravan in the golden triangle for half a month, causing huge losses. In order to avoid losses, the six winged Phoenix angels had to rush over, uproot all the robbed thieves, kill chickens and dogs, and then rush back immediately, But it's already half a month late.
After hearing the explanation of Duomei, Soga not only did not criticize them, but greatly appreciated them. You know, half of Soga's current wealth is life medicine, and the other half is brought by the golden triangle. These two major sources of wealth are really too important for Soga. Otherwise, how can he spend so much money to build the dawn?
You know, the Empire doesn't care about the future expenses of 100000 slave soldiers. These slave soldiers are old men who can eat and drink. They can't eat for a day.
In addition to their weapons, armor and training costs, they ask for money everywhere. At the end of a day, everyone has to consume 10 gold coins, 100000 slave soldiers, but it's 1 million gold coins. It's just daily consumption, not counting others.
In terms of the most common ordnance equipment, a suit of armor, a long bow and a blade will cost 100000 yuan. It will cost 30 billion to arm these soldiers alone! Moreover, the service life of these weapons and armor is only a few months. Once they are damaged, they need to be replaced. If battles are frequent, one set should be replaced in basically two battles.
But will Soga order the most common junk? The order of Soga is all superior longbows, sharp blades and armor. The whole set will cost 3 million, not 300000. The total cost is 300 billion!
This is not the most terrible. In fact, the most expensive arrows in Soga were arrows. In the first battle of the dawn campaign, Soga's army shot more than 100000 arrows. The price of a wooden arrow was 10 gold. It consumed 1 million gold in a short time.
Now, Suoga sets the best refined steel arrows. The price of one is 100000 gold, which can be reused and will not be damaged. Suoga sets 10 million arrows. The 10 million sharp arrows alone cost a trillion. The money in Suoga's bag is basically empty.
Maybe some people don't understand why Soga spends so much money to purchase arms. In fact, it's not surprising. If the dawn city can't be arranged as solid as gold, no matter how well it is built, it will be destroyed in an instant. If you want to keep everything, you have to have a strong armed force. Otherwise, more money will only recruit thieves!
Under Soga's command, a batch of life potions were sent from the holy light city. Each slave soldier was allocated a belt with 30 life potions inserted on it. Once injured, he can treat himself. Basically, this is equivalent to carrying a water system treatment mage with him. The combat power of dawn city has been greatly improved.
Not only that, Soga also specially made a batch of spiritual potions, physical potions and magic potions, which were distributed to the slave soldiers, and explained that no one can transfer them without permission. Anyone who dares to outflow one will be executed in public!
In fact, needless to say, no one will sell it. One more bottle of this thing is equal to many lives. Only fools can sell it. In this way, each slave soldier has 30 tubes of life potions and two tubes of spiritual, physical and magic potions inserted in his waist. It can fully support large-scale and long-term battles. How much is it worth?
Fortunately, Soga can make it by itself and does not need to buy it. Otherwise, how much money is not enough to spend. The 3 million life potions alone are worth hundreds of billions! And how long will it take?
The current situation is that only high-level adventurers and warriors are qualified to use life potions. As far as soldiers are concerned, no country can afford them. It can be said that at present, only the dawn army is equipped with life potions, not to mention the four-color potions. The dawn army has them all over the world.
Considering that the thieves and allied forces will not be good, Soga urged the six winged Phoenix angel to purchase a large number of four series magic crystals and produce four-color potions day and night. The magic improved extremely rapidly. As mentioned earlier, when making potions, it is the time to cultivate magic and divine power. No matter what, if you use more, it will naturally improve. Even if you carry water every day, Your strength will improve, too.
Finally, while the thieves' coalition army was ready to move, 100000 sets of scheduled equipment arrived at dawn, and tens of millions of sharp arrows were also transported in place and distributed to the soldiers. 70000 professional and non professional archers spent all their energy on training in addition to their work every day.
Although the total price of these ten million refined steel arrows has reached one trillion yuan, they are not damaged, but they make everyone's training progress rapidly. You don't have to worry about the loss of arrows. You can shoot wildly indefinitely. One day's training is enough to compare with other archers for a week. Under high-intensity and high-density training, everyone has made rapid progress, waiting for the enemy to come to the door.
Finally, a message came from the front. The thieves alliance seemed to have colluded. Osdor gathered 300000 troops to encircle and suppress dawn city. After receiving the news, Soga was completely stunned. He didn't understand that dawn and osdor didn't seem to have any resentment? Why did they send troops to attack?
In doubt, Nefarian explained the cause and effect of the matter. In fact, Kaos, who had slapped Soga twice and was half beaten by Soga, was the young city Lord of osdu, and his father, the Marquis of karuta, was the city Lord of osdu!
