When the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce began to create a production base at the Xinfei Farm in the Principality of Standing, it selected a place to the north of the farm, less than 20 kilometers away from the border between the Principality of Standing and the Black Rice Wasteland, and specially opened up a site. It serves as the base for the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
The place where Xu Yi and Sevini talked was in this guard base.
When the two walked out of the door, they saw that two groups of people had gathered neatly on the large playground in the middle of the guard base. On the left was the guard team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and on the right was the 500 private individuals brought by Sevini this time. Guard.
From this point of view, Angkru often lamented before, and Xu Yi also understood it deeply, "The Principality of Standing cannot be regarded as a country at all" is very accurate.
Otherwise, it is simply impossible for Her Royal Highness, King Sevini Lampali, to be able to casually bring her five hundred personal guards into another country with complete sovereignty.
And here, Xu Yi just informed the local Earl of Willon, and easily let Sevini enter the Principality of Standing with his personal guard.
The two groups of people lined up in separate piles on the playground, and you can see the obvious difference at a glance. Sevini's five hundred personal guards are uniformly dressed and wear the same style of royal emblem of the Kingdom of Lampali. The most important thing is that they are all human beings. When they stand side by side, they look extremely neat. At a glance, they look like a complete body. battle formation.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team looked a little confused at first glance.
The most obvious thing is that the components of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team are extremely complex.
There are also five hundred people, but only a hundred of them are human guards. Among the other four hundred guards. There are one hundred and fifty elven guards. There are two hundred dwarf guards, and the remaining fifty are orc guards recruited not long ago.
And because the habits of each race are different, the weapons and armor equipped on these guards are not very uniform.
Among them, the elven warriors are accustomed to wearing light soft armor, the dwarf warriors like the heavier, the better heavy armor, and the orc warriors don't even like to wear armor. If Xu Yi didn't force them to wear special armor, Magic protective armor, they all want to go into battle wearing only a piece of cloth.
The one hundred human warriors were wearing uniform armor. And they all have magic protection properties, but the weapon selection is all kinds of strange, and there are all kinds of styles. Xu Yi once asked Hart, the human captain of the escort team, whether such a messy selection of weapons and equipment would affect combat effectiveness, but Hart told him that it was no problem.
The need for large-scale unified uniforms is generally only necessary for larger armies, but this is not necessary for small-scale escorts.
If we really talk about combat effectiveness, a team like the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards, which looks like a mixed bag, has a power far beyond that of humans of the same size due to the superior combat effectiveness of the elven warriors, dwarf warriors and orc warriors among them. warrior.
What's more, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escorts are all equipped with various specially developed individual military magic machines. The combat effectiveness of a human guard alone is far beyond what ordinary human soldiers can compare to.
Looking at the equipment on the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team. Even Sevigny couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder in his heart.
"Xu Yi, when you said you wanted to change the equipment of my five thousand private guards, did you plan to change them all into equipment like theirs?"
"Hmm... I guess it wasn't able to reach this level at that time, because there were several pieces of equipment that had not yet been fully developed. For example, the miniature magic hand crossbow and the equipped miniature magic burst arrow were developed not long ago." Xu Yida road.
"Micro magic hand crossbow and micro magic explosion arrow?" Sevini's eyes swept over the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escorts, but he did not find where these two pieces of equipment were.
"These two pieces of equipment are currently only human guard equipment. They are hidden on their bodies and will not be taken out easily." Xu Yi smiled and explained. "Except for the human guards, the guards of other races thought this thing was too small and not to their liking, so they didn't have any equipment."
"That's right..." Sevini nodded, paused, and then asked: "If I equip my guards with the same set of equipment, how many gold coins will it cost?"
Xu Yi glanced at her and smiled: "Well... if it is a complete set of individual military magic machines, the current total price is three hundred gold coins. What? Your Highness, are you interested?"
"Three hundred gold coins?!" Sevini's big eyes widened. "So expensive! The total number of guards in your chamber of commerce seems to have exceeded a thousand, right? If every guard is equipped with a set, wouldn't it cost even more than 300,000 gold coins? This... This is almost catching up with us. The Lampali Kingdom’s military expenditure for the whole year has been reduced!”
"If compared with the military expenditure actually spent on the Lampali Kingdom's army, there is no doubt that it far exceeds it." Xu Yi responded with a smile.
Of course Sevini understood the meaning of Xu Yi's words. He was silent for a moment, sighed, and shook his head gently: "I also wanted to equip each of my personal guards with the same set of equipment, but I didn't expect that one set would cost three hundred gold coins. . If it’s five thousand sets, it would be a full 1.5 million gold coins. I don’t have that much money.”
Xu Yi shrugged: "Actually, I don't have that much money, so in fact, the only guards currently equipped with a full set of individual military magic machines are the one hundred human guards here. The other guards of other races are just Just let them pick out their favorite equipment.”
"That's pretty much it." Sevini let out a breath, glanced at the two groups of guards on the playground, and continued: "Okay, now that everything is ready, let's announce the start of the operation."
Xu Yi made an invitation gesture: "Your Highness, please."
Sevini nodded, climbed onto a stage that had been prepared long ago, glanced at a kind of guard in the audience, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Fellow warriors, you are gathered here today because of some The orcs have committed an unforgivable crime..."
…
After Sevigny finished his short and passionate speech, a fleet of magic motorcycles poured in from outside the playground.
These magic locomotives are different from the various freight or passenger magic locomotives previously announced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The entire body is composed of thick steel plates and is completely enclosed, with only two thick pieces of glass in the front.
The entire magic motorcycle looks sharp and even a bit ferocious, making people feel full of danger at first glance.
Seeing these strange-looking magic motorcycles rushing in, Sevini was stunned for a moment and asked Xu Yi: "Is this the magic armored transport vehicle you mentioned to me before?"
"Yes. Both the body and tires of this magic armored transport vehicle are specially made. It can withstand a certain amount of attacks without affecting the personnel carried in the vehicle. It is very suitable for transporting soldiers heading to the battlefield." Xu Yi replied road.
Sevini glanced at the rows of fifty magic armored transport vehicles already on the playground and was speechless.
Is this called "can withstand a certain amount of attacks"
Just relying on this thick outer steel plate is enough to withstand any attack, right? Quite a few words'
Not to mention that the outer steel plate is not flashing with magical light, and it is obvious that a magic circle is inlaid on it.
No need to guess, these magic arrays must be some protective arrays, which will definitely greatly enhance the protective power of these magic armored transport vehicles, and should even be able to withstand some magic effects.
Riding on such a magical armored transport vehicle, you can run rampant on the battlefield!
"It's not that exaggerated." Xu Yi smiled and shook his head. "Don't forget, even leaving aside those particularly powerful magicians, there are also powerful weapons like magic trebuchets."
"How can a magician with that kind of strength attack at will? Attacking these magic armored transport vehicles is a complete waste of magic power, okay?" Sevini glared at Xu Yi, then looked at the magic armored transport vehicles, and couldn't help but Shaking his head, he sighed: "If our armies from the Lampali Kingdom could all have such equipment like the escorts of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce, then we wouldn't have to worry about the threat from the Sark Kingdom at all."
"Well..." Xu Yi laughed dryly. "Obviously it's impossible. I spent more than half a million gold coins on the equipment of the Chamber of Commerce Guards alone, not to mention the cost of other logistics, supplies and training facilities. On average, I The cost of each guard exceeds at least 800 gold coins. Is it possible for the Kingdom’s military to have that much money?”
Sevini sighed: "The military expenditure for the whole year is only half a million gold coins. How can it be possible for the Kingdom's army to be as luxurious as your New Flying Chamber of Commerce escorts?"
"More importantly, those guys in the kingdom will not invest in the army even if they have money. They are too busy putting it in their own pockets." Xu Yi sneered. "I heard... In the name of encouraging and promoting the development of the magic industry, the Commerce Department plans to implement substantial tax reductions and exemptions for the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration? Hey, these guys, when they are making money for themselves, they are really I don’t even have any face left.”
Sevini frowned, remained silent for a moment, and shook his head slightly: "I don't want to talk about these things anymore. Xu Yi, let them start taking action."
Seeing Sevini's tired look, Xu Yi sighed in his heart, walked up to the stage, glanced at the two groups of guards who were ready under the stage, nodded, and shouted: "I announce the clean-up operation of the Black Rice Wasteland. ,Start now!"
