If only we could not pay for the dead.
Such an idea flashed through brin's mind.
Of course, just think about it. The contract has been set, and the other party is an ally in the oracle. However, the spirit obviously has not reached the limit. He does not dare to do such things as turning over his face
Of course, with the efforts of the elves, brin disdained to do so.
He's not a cunning human being!
The reason why blade city has become one of the famous underground world commercial centers is that the dark dwarfs and underground dwarfs here are more honest than other places.
Moreover, although the elves suffered heavy casualties, they also caused great damage to the undead army.
From above the walls, the number of the army of the dead has been reduced by almost half!
You know, this time the Dark Alliance has sent out nearly 100000 undead legions!
The army composed of fallen undead is different from the shadow monster. They are controllable. Before each war, the Dark Alliance will spend a lot of time and energy preparing the fallen undead as an important combat force of the army.
It is much more useful to destroy the undead directly than to exhaust the magic power of the enemy to control the existence of the army of the dead, because it means that once the war is over, the other side will not be able to use the army of the dead in a short time!
In addition, the purpose of the Dark Alliance's attack on the edge city is to occupy the city, not to destroy it, so It's unlikely to summon the shadow army, because no one knows if it will eventually summon something.
So Once the front battlefield is won, the army will be destroyed.
As long as high-end combat power wins another battle, the tone of the war will be almost settled.
Thinking of this, brin took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile and asked:
"Tucker, how much money is left in our finances?"
Tucker is not only in charge of counting the remuneration of the hired elves, he is also the treasurer of the edge city.
After listening to the chief's words, the old dwarf wiped his sweat again and replied:
"chief, if you have to say something, there are still 10 million left, but We will spend another five million at most, otherwise, it will affect the normal operation of our city and commerce. "
After listening to the treasurer, brin fell silent.
Five million
According to this momentum, we will be able to persist for only one day.
Although money can always be earned back, it can't be such a wave.
Now think about it, it's better to hire mercenaries to help defend in the underground world!
Employing a large and experienced group of mercenaries with average strength of black iron rank and more than 50000 people to participate in the war is only 50000 gold pounds a day at most.
Even if the mercenary regiment took part in the war, it was impossible to employ only one day. It was usually calculated by month, and it was only 1.5 million gold coins in January.
Of course, that is to think about it.
Not to mention that the Dark Alliance has cut off the source of mercenaries in the underground world of blade city. Even if they are hired, can they do better than the elves?
Even the most elite mercenaries, with more than 34% casualties, will collapse.
But these elves, whose death rate has already reached 80%, are still fierce
What's more, if they didn't fight for their lives, the undead would not have lost so much.
If ordinary mercenaries are allowed to replace them, it is estimated that there will be a protracted war. It may be possible to fight for several or even more than ten years.
The cost and the loss are also astronomical.
War It's a money burning thing.
In fact, at the beginning, brin was able to exchange equipment for the elves' support, considering that the long-standing war of the Dark Alliance is likely to become a protracted war.
And a set of equipment hired elves to fight for several years or even more than ten years, simply do not earn too much.
Ideal is very happy, reality is very skinny.
Who knows These elves died in such a large proportion!
Get a set of equipment and die in a flash.
Although they killed the enemy, they died too fast
Caught off guard.
Of course, it is not without benefits.
Judging from brin's experience, the army of the dead lost nearly half in a short period of time. It is estimated that if the siege continues for a few days, the other side will withdraw.
Although the dark alliance still has an army of dark dwarves and psychedelic monsters, there is the loss of undead in the front. Brin does not believe that the other side can't see the edge of the city has become a hard bone.
In this case, the other side is likely to choose to give up the siege of the edge of the city.
Taking a deep breath, brin had a plan in mind.
He turned around and looked at the foreign minister on the other side who was in charge of dealing with the elves"You go and inform the other cities of this war It's the war of our whole silent alliance! The elves' allies were invited together, and the oracle was issued to all the city states! "
"If they want to win, if they still have respect for the goddess, they have to bear the reward of the elf allies!"
"As a battlefield, the city of the edge has paid enough. Considering their own safety, they did not send a lot of support. We can understand that, but this is not just the war of the city of edge!"
Well
If the edge of the city can't bear it, we should take other city states to carry it together.
As long as the war can be ended as soon as possible, it is worth spending more money in the long run.
After commanding the chief diplomat, brin looked heavily at the still fighting wall.
Ah
Obviously, it has an advantage.
But my heart hurts
Maybe we should persuade these elves not to fight so aggressively?
At this time, brin suddenly saw the treasurer Tucker hesitated for a moment, and then stopped.
"Tucker, what do you want to say?" he asked
Tucker hesitated for a moment and said politely:
"chief officer, I don't know if it's my illusion. I have felt that the spirits who came to participate in the war have met somewhere, eh How to say, it's the elves who took part in the war later. I feel very familiar with some of their looks Some even feel that they have seen it several times. "
"I asked them specially. They said that the elves before were their relatives, not their brothers, their sisters, and some even said that they were twins..."
"It's just, just one or two, such a spirit It seems a little too much. "
Tucker finished with a wry smile.
This matter, he held in the heart for a long time, now finally can not bear, just put forward to the chief.
At his words, brin frowned slightly:
"you mean After the elves took part in the war, they came back and got paid again? "
Tucker hesitated and nodded.
Brin frowned deeper.
He took a look at the city wall and the teleportation array. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head slightly:
"it should not be possible."
"All the elves who come to join the battle come through the teleportation array. The place where the super long distance teleportation array is connected is the black rock city. After the elves fight on the wall, few people come down except those who died in battle..."
"If it's really what you said, can they still move to BlackRock city hundreds of kilometers away and then send them back?"
