Volume 4 Chapter 42 - Luxurious Frestech Chamber of Commerce guards (2/2)

“If we were to compare expenditure with the royal army, we would without a doubt surpass them.” Xu Yi replied with a faint smile.

Seveni naturally understood the meaning in Xu Yi’s words and after a moment of silence, she sighed and shook her head, “I also want to equip my guards with this set, but I never thought each one would cost three hundred gold coins. For five thousand sets, that is a full one and half million gold coins, I don’t have that much money.”

Xu Yi gave a shrug, “Actually I don’t have that much money either, so the only ones who are equipped fully with military magic machines are the hundred human guards. As for the guards of the other races, they just picked the equipment they liked the best.”

“That is more like it.” Seveni gave a sigh. She looked over the two rows of guards before continuing, “Alright, since you are all prepared, then let’s begin this operation.”

Xu Yi gave an inviting gesture, “Please, your highness.”

Seveni nodded and went onto the prepared stage. She looked over the guards and cleared her throat before saying in a clear voice, “Warriors, you are gathered here today because some beastmen have committed a crime that can’t be forgiven.”

……

When Seveni ended her brief and empowering speech, the Magic Cars entered the drilling grounds.

These Magic Cars were different from the Magic Cars from before. Their body was covered in thick steel plates and were completely sealed, with two pieces of thick glass right in front.

These Magic Cars looked fierce no matter what angle one looked at it from, people felt that it was releasing a dangerous aura.

Seeing these strange Magic Cars come in, Seveni was surprised before asking Xu Yi, “This is the Magic Armoured Vehicles you mentioned before?”

“Right, the cars are custom made whether it is the body or the tires, they can take a certain amount of damage without affecting the people inside, so it is very suitable for carrying soldiers to the battlefield.” Xu Yi replied.

Seveni looked at the fifty Magic Armoured Vehicles that came forward and was a bit speechless.

This was called ‘able to take a certain amount of damage’?

Just with the thick steel plates, it was enough to stop any kind of attack, alright?

Not to mention that there was the glow of magic on these steel plates, there were clearly Magic Arrays engraved on them.

There was no need to guess, these were definitely barrier arrays. They could greatly increase the defense of the Magic Armour Vehicles, even being able to resist the effects of magic spells to a certain degree.

Sitting in this Magic Armour Vehicle meant one could charge right onto the battlefield!

“It’s not that exaggerated.” Xu Yi shook his head with a smile, “Don’t forget, even ignoring the powerful magicians, there are also the powerful Magic Trebuchets.”

“How could magicians of this strength act freely? Attacking these Magic Armoured Vehicles is a waste of one’s magic.” Seveni glared at Xu Yi before turning back to these Magic Armoured Vehicles, then she couldn’t help shaking her head with a sigh, “If the Lampuri Kingdom had the same equipment as your Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards, there’s no need to worry about the Sack Kingdom at all.”

“This…..” Xu Yi gave a dry laugh, “That is clearly impossible. I’ve spent over five hundred thousand gold coins just on the equipment of my guards, not to mention the other expenses, as well as the supplies and training equipment. One average, each guard costs over eight hundred gold coins, can the royal army really spend that much?”

Seveni gave a sigh, “The army headquarters doesn’t even have five hundred thousand gold coins a year, how could they be as luxurious as your Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards.”

“The most important thing is that those fellows in the kingdom, they wouldn’t spend their money on the army, rather they would prefer stuffing it in their own pockets.” Xu Yi revealed a cold smile, “I’ve heard…..the management bureau in the name of promoting the magic machine industry is planning on decreasing the tax rates on those ten companies? Hei, this fellows, when making money for themselves, they don’t want any face.”

Seveni knit her brows and shook her head after a bit of silence, “I don’t want to discuss this. Xu Yi, have them begin.”

Seeing Seveni’s tired appearance, Xu Yi gave a sigh on the inside. He stood on the stage and looked over the prepared guards. After giving a nod, he shouted, “I now announce the purge of the Black Rice Wasteland will begin!”
