Chapter 42 The Luxurious Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Guard

While the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce began to establish a production base in the Xinfei Farm of the Principality of Standing, it chose a place in the north of the farm, less than 20 kilometers away from the border between the Principality of Standing and the Black Rice Wasteland, and opened up a special site. As the station of the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The place where Xu Yi and Seweini talked was in this guard base.

The two walked out the door and saw that two groups of people had gathered neatly in 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 were the five hundred individuals brought by Seweney this time. guard.

From this point of view, the statement that "The Duchy of Standing cannot be regarded as a country at all" is very accurate, as Angkelu often sighed before, and Xu Yi also has a deep understanding.

Otherwise, in the capacity of Her Majesty King Servini Lampari, it would be impossible for her to bring her five hundred personal guards into another country with complete sovereignty.

And here, Xu Yi just {no} mistaken {small} said .s. to inform the local territory, Earl Weilun, and easily let Sevigny enter the Principality of Standing with his personal guard.

The two groups of people lined up in separate groups on the big playground, and the difference was obvious at a glance. The 500 personal guards of Seweni were uniformly dressed, and they also wore the royal emblem of King Lampari on their bodies. Most importantly, they were all human beings. When they stood side by side, they looked extremely neat. At a glance, they were a complete body. battle formation.

But the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce looked a little confused at first glance.

The most obvious is that the composition of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort team is extremely complex.

There are also five hundred people, but only one hundred of them are human guards. The other four hundred guards were among the guards. There are one hundred and fifty elf guards. There are 200 dwarf guards, and the remaining 50 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 elf warriors are used to wearing light and 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, I'm afraid they all want to wear only a piece of cloth to go into battle.

The hundred human warriors were wearing uniform standard armor. And they all have magic protection performance, but the choice of weapons is very 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 the combat effectiveness, but was told by Hart that there was no problem.

Those who need to dress uniformly on a large scale are generally necessary in the army with a large number of people, but it is not necessary for small-scale escorts.

If we really want to talk about the combat effectiveness, like the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which seems to be a mixed team, but because of the super combat effectiveness of the elves, dwarfs and orcs, the power far exceeds that of humans of the same size. warrior.

What's more, the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are all equipped with various specially developed individual military magic machines. The combat power of a human guard alone is far from being comparable to that of ordinary human soldiers.

Looking at the equipment on the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Even Seweney couldn't help feeling a little amazed in his heart.

"Xu Yi, when you said you wanted to replace my 5,000 private guards, did you intend to replace them all with equipment like theirs?"

"Well... At that time, it might not be able to reach this level, because several pieces of equipment have not been fully developed. For example, the miniature magic hand crossbow and the equipped miniature magic burst arrow were only developed not long ago." Xu Yi replied.

"Miniature magic hand crossbow and miniature magic burst arrow?" Seweini glanced at the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but did not find where these two pieces of equipment were.

"These two kinds of equipment are currently only equipped with human guards. They are all hidden on their bodies, and they will not take them out easily." Xu Yi smiled and explained. "Except for the human guards, the guards of other races think this thing is too small for their liking, so they don't have the equipment."

"That's right..." Sevini nodded, paused, and asked again: "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 machinery, the current total price is 300 gold coins. What? Your Highness, are you interested?"

"Three hundred gold coins?!" Sevini's big eyes widened. "It's so expensive! The total number of guards in your chamber of commerce seems to have exceeded 1,000 people, right? If every guard is equipped with a set of equipment, wouldn't it cost even more than 300,000 gold coins? This... this is about to catch up." The military expenditure of our Lampari Kingdom military department has been spent for the entire year!"

"If it is compared with the military expenditure actually spent on the Lampari Kingdom's army, it will undoubtedly far exceed it." Xu Yi replied with a smile.

Of course Sevini understood the meaning of Xu Yi's words. After a moment of silence, he sighed and shook his head slightly: "I wanted to equip each of my private guards with the same set, but I didn't expect that a set would cost three hundred gold coins. .5,000 sets, that would cost a full 1.5 million gold coins, and I don’t have that much money.”

Xu Yi shrugged: "Actually, I don't have that much money, so in fact, there are only a hundred human guards here who are actually equipped with a full set of individual military magic machinery. The other guards of other races are just Just let them pick their favorite gear."

"That's about the same." Sevini exhaled lightly, glanced at the two groups of guards on the playground, and continued: "Okay, since everything is ready, let's announce the start of the operation."

Xu Yi made an inviting gesture: "His Royal Highness is invited."

Sevini nodded, boarded a stage that had been prepared long ago, glanced at a kind of guard under the stage, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "All warriors, the reason why you are gathered here today is because of some The orcs have committed unforgivable crimes..."

...

After Sevini finished his short but passionate speech, a convoy 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 whole body is made of thick steel plates and is completely closed, only the front is inlaid with two thick pieces of glass.

The whole magic locomotive looks sharp, and even a bit hideous, making people feel full of a strong sense of danger at first glance.

Seeing these strange-looking magical locomotives rushing in, Sevini was stunned for a moment, and asked Xu Yi: "This is the magical armored transport vehicle you mentioned to me before?"

"Yes. Both the body and the tires of this magical armored transport vehicle are specially made. They can withstand a certain amount of attack 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 magical armored transport vehicles that were already on the playground, and was a little speechless.

This is called "can withstand a certain amount of attack"?

Just relying on this thick outer steel plate is enough to withstand any attack, right? many words'

Not to mention that the outer steel plate is still shining with magic light, and it is obviously engraved with a magic circle on it.

No need to guess, these magic circles must be some protective magic circles, which must greatly enhance the protection of these magical armored transport vehicles, and should even be able to resist some magical effects.

Riding on such a magical armored transport vehicle, you can completely rampage on the battlefield!

"It's not that exaggerated." Xu Yi smiled and shook his head. "Don't forget, even if you don't talk about those particularly powerful magicians, there are powerful weapons like magic trebuchets."

"How can a magician with that kind of strength shoot at will? It is a waste of magic power to attack these magic armored vehicles, okay?" Sevini glared at Xu Yi, then looked at those magic armored vehicles, and couldn't help it He shook his head and sighed, "If our Lampari Kingdom's army can all have such equipment like the guards of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then there is no need to worry about the threat of the Sark Kingdom."

"Well..." Xu Yi laughed dryly. "Obviously impossible. I spent more than 500,000 gold coins on the equipment of the chamber of commerce guards, not to mention the cost of other logistics, supplies and training facilities. On average, I The cost of each guard is at least more than 800 gold coins, is it possible that the Royal Army has so much money?".

Seweini sighed: "The military expenditure of the military department for a whole year is not half a million gold coins. How could it be possible to make the Kingdom's army as luxurious as your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce guards?"

"More importantly, those guys in the kingdom, even if they have money, they won't spend it on the army. They are too busy filling their pockets with enough money." Xu Yi sneered. "I heard that...in the name of encouraging and promoting the development of the magic industry, the Commerce Department intends to implement substantial tax reductions for the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration? Hey, these guys, when they are making money for themselves, I really don't even need any face."

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 to act."

Seeing Sevini's tired face, Xu Yi sighed softly in his heart, walked up to the stage, glanced at the two groups of guards who were ready, nodded, and said in a low voice, "I announce that the black rice wasteland cleanup operation ,Start now!"
