Chapter 439
At this moment, Moore suddenly had an illusion that as long as he was willing to spend money, he could buy victory against the black elves.
And he knew that this was not an illusion, it was the fact.
As a commander-in-chief hero, Moore clearly knows how good or bad the equipment has to do with the victory or defeat of the war. Even the 16th-level hero may be forced away by a group of armed 15th-level heroes.
The army, blessed with various beneficial states, was moving forward while releasing magic in the sky. The sound of cannons was endless, and the stones were like rain. On the road of travel, gullies filled up, the city walls collapsed, and even the mountains split a road...
However, Moore also knew clearly how much it would cost to arm his army into what he imagined.
There will be a long war to fight in the future, and the funds that Moore can use can only be used to arm the Taurens in his army.
Moore shook his head and threw out the delusion in his mind.
"I'm so sorry, Lord Duke... I also want to expand the scale of the King's Army's war equipment troops, but war equipment is too expensive and is very fragile. Therefore..."
Daliang raised his hand to stop Moore's refusal, and said, "I understand the difficulties of the Iron Hoof Kingdom... but please think about it carefully. Is the life of a soldier important? Or is the money spent on buying war equipment important?
If money is gone, you can earn it again, but if an elite soldier dies, it takes time to recruit new soldiers and also costs money to arm. Especially for the 9th-level army of Taurus, their training cycle and cost are longer and more. In the battle against the black elves, the death of the Taurus is also the highest.
I think Lord Moore does not have much confidence in defeating the Black Elf, and even if he wins, he will suffer heavy losses. At that time... after leaving enough troops on the border to resist the black Elf's reinvasion, Lord Moore probably would not have much military strength to support the battle against the world factory.
Purchasing war equipment and other war supplies was just a brief and severe pain for the strength of the Iron Hoof Kingdom.
But it can prevent you from suffering from insufficient troops for a long time in the future.
I think now... you should have a very clear choice."
Daliang's guess of the future battle situation was actually that Moore had already foresaw, but this time he could see more clearly what difficulties the Iron Hoof Kingdom faced in the future.
Faced with the attack from the world factory, the Endless Maze is already on the defensive. After solving the Black Elf, such a disadvantage will last for a very long time, and may even give the Black Elf a chance to invade again.
Therefore, for the war between the black elves, it is best to fight quickly, win the greatest victory with the smallest loss, and then return to the battlefield of plane war with abundant military strength.
"Duke, you are very correct." Moore already has the idea of "recharge", but how much "recharge" costs made Moore hesitate. After all, you can't empty the treasury. "But the Iron Hoof Kingdom is indeed very difficult now. Will the Duke accept ore as payment for the goods?"
Daliang shook his head and said, "We help you purchase supplies, and they pay them to the other party with real gold coins. The bulk ore payment makes it difficult for us to deal with these stones. After all, after we cooperated with Obsidian City, we have not lacked ore resources.
Of course, rare resources and alchemy resources are within the scope of payment.
If the Iron Hoof Kingdom could use what we need as a payment item? We would be more than happy to accept it.”
The Endless Maze has a rich mineral resources, and underground races are also very good at finding minerals, mining and refining minerals. But besides rare resources and alchemy resources, there is nothing that can be done with the dungeons.
However, rare resources and alchemy resources are strategic materials. The Iron Hoof Kingdom's procurement of war materials is not a small amount, and it is impossible to use too much strategic materials to pay.
Moore knew that Shangjiang City had made business in full plane, and what could interest them in the Endless Maze?
This gave Moore, who was in urgent need of war supplies to arm the army, a headache.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Daliang said, "I have been in Obsidian City for so long and found that the Endless Maze is also doing a very good job in the slave business in addition to mineral resources."
"Slave?" Moore didn't expect that Daliang was interested in the slave business in the dungeon. If Shangjiang City was willing to let the Iron Hoof Kingdom use slaves to pay for the purchase of war materials, it would really solve the problem of the tight military expenditure of the Iron Hoof Kingdom. He said: "Yes, yes... the most infinity of the Endless Maze is slaves. What kind of slaves the Duke wants, we can send someone to capture..."
Daliang waved his hand and said, "We are not interested in the dungeon natives who cannot adapt to surface life. Lord Moore, you know that our Five Color Flag Alliance is starting a war with the Dreamland.
This war consumes a lot of money on the basic army, and Shangjiang is located in a small area that we do not have much of the basic army, so we want to expand the army by purchasing soldiers. But the world is fighting, and there is no extra army for sale.
If the Iron Hoof Kingdom can provide us with slaves who can fight on the surface, then we are willing to exchange war materials."
Moore is already very clear about what slave Daliang wants.
There are three main sources of slaves in dungeons: one is a race with too weak individual strength, such as cavemen; the second is a race with too few individual numbers; and the third is a race with too low individual intelligence.
Daliang wanted to buy slaves to form an army to fight in the dreamland. Even if the surface environment factors were not taken into account, the morale of this kind of slave was very low and there was not much combat effectiveness on the battlefield. If the slaves could fight, the dungeon king army would use it themselves.
However, there is another special slave that meets Daliang's requirements.
The black elves are the sub-branches of the surface elves. Surface combat will not have much impact on the black elves. The number of black elves is very large, and if there are few, it will not threaten the kings of the dungeon. The individual black elves are very strong and have their own military system; there is no problem with racial intelligence.
When Moore starts fighting against the black elves, there will definitely be a large number of black elves captives. To deal with these black elves warriors who cannot be incorporated, it is a hidden danger to keep them. Of course, the best way is to kill them all.
It would be different if these black elf warriors could be sold to Shangjiang City as slaves.
The black elves have a natural hatred towards the elves. Even if they become slaves, the black elves don’t have to worry about morale when attacking the elves. The Five-Color Flag Alliance Army does not need to worry, the black elves will turn against each other and make trouble for themselves.
If the black elf slaves exchange for war materials transactions can be reached.
