"For the same model of magic crystal column used in magic wand, others sell it for 4.5 gold coins, but you sell it for 5 gold coins. Also, for the magic ring, your price is 40 gold coins, while others sell it for 36 gold coins. What do you think?" After hearing what I said, the minister in charge of equipment procurement immediately quoted his price with great complacency. But I knew that his heart was bleeding.

"Very good! That's great! Now I can speed up the production of magic shells... Sir, from tomorrow on, please take care of the troops purchasing these two types of equipment. I can change all my workshops to produce magic shells..." Hearing these words, I was so excited! Each magic crystal column loses 2 gold coins, and each magic ring loses 25 gold coins. I hope he and his cronies can hold on for a while longer, Amen!

"Wait a minute... According to the current battlefield consumption and the speed of the newly formed magician army, our army needs 100,000 magic crystal pillars and more than 2,000 magic rings every month. Can you guarantee it? In addition, if the war continues to expand, how much possibility of increasing production will your procurement channels have?" Frowning, the Minister of Military Affairs interrupted our intrigue and directly led the topic to the supply volume that he valued most. After all, with such a large consumption now, the Minister of Military Affairs dare not be careless. If there is a slight mistake, he, the military boss, will be the first to suffer.

"This..." Immediately, 100,000 magic crystal pillars and 2,000 magic rings frightened him. With this amount, he had no way to supply them, and even if he had the goods, he couldn't afford them! One month's supply would probably bankrupt several of his magic equipment suppliers. Even if he was not allowed to supply the full amount, he would definitely not be able to withstand a long period of loss without profit. For a moment, after hearing the words of the Minister of Military Affairs, the minister in charge of military procurement was speechless.

"Hmph! Are you not having fun? You have no supply capacity, so what are you talking about? Are you trying to lower the price? And then let my Kingdom of Yann's armament supply fall into a desperate situation? I didn't expect that there would be someone like you in my Kingdom of Yann..." Seeing this scene, all the ministers and generals were fully aware of the incident and looked at him with contempt. The Minister of State Affairs, who had always been at odds with the Minister of Military Affairs, also unexpectedly stood up and stepped hard on him.

"Remove him from his post, drag him out and throw him into jail, and interrogate him strictly... See if he has collaborated with the enemy or committed other crimes..." With Queen Yaen's words, the little farce came to an end. "Now, let's continue to discuss how to resist the invasion of the orcs! Although we have temporarily stopped the invasion of our country by the orcs, as the war in the Mokast Empire becomes more and more critical, the recovery of our occupied territories must also be put on the agenda. Everyone, tell me, what should we do?"

“Your Majesty, after destroying all the magic crystal cannons and setting up a magic dynamic cannon defense circle, the beastmen are no longer a big problem.

What we must do now are: first, relying on the existing defense circle, we hold the existing territory, and then send the Dragon Legion and other troops to rely on these two defense circles to prevent the orcs from continuing to enter the depth of our country.

Second, we must arm the Mocaster Empire as quickly as possible and let them fight the orcs to the death.

Third, order the troops in the western continent to defend Andrel City, not to pass through the Andrel area, and try to prevent the orcs from getting any food from them. . . Of course, I have already made all the arrangements on our side, relocating all the residents, taking away all the food, and even killing all the wild animals. I have done everything I should do. I hope that the more than one million troops deployed there by the orcs will not starve to death. . . . . .

And finally! Fourthly, I will lead the God's Legion to carry out a mission that is not very fun, but since there are too many variables in this mission, I cannot explain it in detail, so just think of it as me going to spy on the military. But I think after this plan is implemented, the orcs will be in dire straits... "

"I think your majesty and the other gentlemen will have no objection to what Mr. Shen said. Although the last point is a little hard to understand, I don't think it's a big deal in order to defeat the beastmen... After all, everyone should trust Mr. Shen for everything he has done in the past..."

Although the last point I raised was indeed a bit excessive, as my military achievements increased, my prestige among the high-level officials of the entire Kingdom of Yan also increased. In terms of military affairs, no one would have any objections to my suggestions and decisions. After solving a series of problems, I did not care to continue to participate in the court meeting, and I apologized to Queen Yan and left the hall. At the assembly ground of my troops, my troops were waiting for me to launch another round of offensive against the beastmen.

*************************************************** *****************************

Through the teleportation array, I joined my troops in the shortest possible time. This battle actually didn't have many special features. All I had to do was to learn from the orcs and kill desperately, killing all the orc civilians who invaded the human territory.

"Sir, all the equipment is ready. The army's 20,000 cavalry, 17,000 chariots and 30,000 soldiers are ready and can set off at any time!" Seeing me driving my horse to the front of the army, the deputy army commander Matthew immediately came to greet me. Matthew, an officer born in the orthodox Kastark Empire Military Academy, is very good at daily training and pre-war preparations.

"Very good, everyone is here today! Before we set off, I have something to tell you... We have only one goal for this operation, and that is to cause as much damage to the orcs as possible, whether it is burning their supplies or killing their people, as long as we cause them damage, it is a good thing. As long as we can make them powerless to continue this war, then we win! If you want to save your homes and your loved ones, remember three words - burn, kill, and rob..." (To be continued)
