Chapter 393 Soros Locust Civilization
"How much can you lend me?" Morea asked.
"Well, while maintaining the normal operation of my forces, I can probably borrow about 30 million from you!"
"Elemental crystal?" Morea was a little stunned.
"Otherwise?" Gladys looked at Morea strangely.
"I thought it was a gold coin." Morea smacked his mouth, what else could he say, he was just so ignorant. When he was most prosperous, the elemental crystals in his hand did not exceed one million. Now Gladys said that he could lend him 30 million square meters, which really surprised him.
"How is it possible, the ten major empires have long ceased to circulate the metal currencies of little value, such as gold and silver, but use elemental crystal coins whose actual application value has been changed."
Gladys explained very patiently that she, who has seen Morea's fighting power, will not despise or ridicule it because of it. Her ancestors all took action because of Morea. This kind of attention, Gladys was very happy. So far, among all the heirs to the throne, she is still the only one who knows about the existence of Morea.
"Thirty million," Moria calmed down, and then thought of the real purpose of his borrowing the money, "I want to ask, can this money buy enough Void battleships to form a fleet?"
Moreya only knows one thing, just to build a floating city, if a million element crystals are dropped, not a single splash can be lifted, and because of the different specifications and functions, the cost of the void battleship should not be as high as that of the floating city, probably, Morea did not understand this aspect.
"With careful planning, it is possible to form an ultra-small void fleet with no more than twenty ships." Gladys said with some uncertainty, "A void fleet should at least be equipped with reconnaissance ships, destroyers, and light cruisers. There are also heavy cruisers, at least a light battleship void ship as the flagship of the command, um, there are also single-function transport ships, healing ships, and supply ships, if you count it…”
"The money you gave me isn't enough at all." Morea came to the conclusion that to build a fully functional fleet, 30 million smashed it down, and it could barely make a splash. This is something that only an empire can build. The Principality can only dream, the Kingdom can look up, work hard for the rest of the world, tighten the belt, and should be able to buy a Void Fleet with castrated functions from the Empire.
"You still need to borrow money, Your Highness Moria."
"Who else can I borrow?" Morea asked helplessly. Thirty million is not enough. "Also, how much do you need?"
"You need to ask a professional for this. If you borrow money, you can ask the Deep Blue Chamber of Commerce. Andrew can give you a big surprise." Gladys made another very good suggestion.
"It's estimated that it will cost hundreds of millions to borrow!" Morea rubbed his eyebrows, "What will I get in exchange for it?"
"His Royal Highness Moria, if you can win this duel, you will gain the dominion of a world, not only do you not need to worry about these debts, you can also make a fortune, waiting for the merchants of the empire to come to you Send money."
"I understand, help me contact Andrew." Morea took a long breath, and then pointed to the Lord of Insects who rolled at his feet, turned into a mass of coke, but still had the breath of life spread, "By the way, look for Someone look after it, and I'm looking forward to what it will look like after it survives this transformation."
...
"His Royal Highness Morea, I understand the situation. You are fighting the royal duel with the princess of the Orlando Empire, but you lack a Void fleet to transport your legion to the target world, right?" The fat businessman Sitting opposite Morea in human form, Gladys sat next to Morea.
"Yes, you can help me estimate. Normally, what kind of fleet do I need to bring all my legions, and how much do I need to pay for this?" Morea's face was a little solemn.
"Your legion, do you mean those giants, and dragons?" Andrew asked aloud. He didn't know much about Xenapus' intelligence, because he was very smart and didn't deliberately probe Xenapus's information. Intelligence, he just saw everything that Morea wanted him to see.
"There are about 100,000 giants, and there are at least five times as many alienated ferocious animals. If there are giant dragons, the number will not exceed 100." Morea made a rough estimate. The humans on Xenapus were ignored by him. He didn't think these humans could help him. He could just help him handle the logistics. For the battlefield, let the giants and dragons come.
"In this case, your fleet needs to be specially customized. After all, although our empire is a mixed country, the types of various ships are built according to the standard of human form, although there is room for various large-scale beast activities. , but it still needs to be remodeled.”
"How much does it cost?" Morea always focused on the key points.
"One hundred and twenty-nine million square element crystals, this is my preliminary estimate, Your Highness Moreya." Andrew handed a spar plate to Moreya, which listed various types of void ships in detail, the required quantity and price.
"Banshee-class reconnaissance ships, fifty ships, with a total price of 15 million, photon elf healing ships, five ships, with a total price of two million, Tiger Shark-class light cruisers, ten ships, with a total price of 2,800 10,000...Hydra-class battleships, one unit, priced at 36 million." Morea looked at the price, frowning deeper and deeper, "Are there too many functional ships?"
"These are all standard ships necessary for a fleet to sail in the void."
"Isn't there a war fortress that integrates all these functional ships?" Morea asked, "These are too troublesome. If there is, just buy one."
"His Royal Highness Moreya, you are talking about the floating city! This price is more expensive, and it cannot be built in a short time."
"Isn't there any ready-made?"
"Once the Empire's Floating City is built, it will be put into use, and it is impossible to put it in the warehouse to rust." Andrew shook his head, cutting off Morea's idea of borrowing money to buy a floating city.
"The various types of ships of the Void Fleet are, to put it bluntly, separated from the various functions of the floating city, and in terms of attack, the Void Fleet has more advantages."
"Indeed, the original Void Fleet was born out of the floating city, but it has developed into a completely different system, and both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages."
"If I say, I only need transport ships and supply ships..."
"This is too risky, Your Highness, the void is not dead silent, and there are all kinds of monsters rampant. You want to rely on your own strength to protect the fleet from traveling, which is unrealistic. All kinds of attack ships must be purchased."
"Okay, Andrew, how much can you lend me?" Morea asked very bluntly. He doesn't need to be fickle, there is an absolute gap in the status of the two sides.
"I can borrow as much as you need!" Andrew replied arrogantly. His caravan followed closely behind the imperial colonial fleet. He was the money bag of the royal family. The wealth he accumulated was unimaginable by Morea. .
...
"Muria, this is the target civilization of our duel, the Soros locust civilization, whoever gets the scepter of glory and the crown inlaid with three star cores first will be the winner of the duel. "
The blue-haired and blue-eyed princess, the graceful figure full of youthful breath, looked relaxed in front of Morea, and introduced the goal of this duel with a hint of pride.
"This is an aggressive bug-human civilization, they developed from a medium-sized world, and then possessed the power to spy on the void, they were lucky to find seven small worlds around their mother world, and then opened the space door through the strong, Lead an army in a colonial invasion."
"Wait a minute," the seventh princess Gladys beside Morea questioned, stopping the projection of the Dragon Princess and looking at her with a playful smile, "Is there any problem? Her Royal Highness Gladys ."
"You are going too far. You actually choose a civilization with the ability to colonize the void as the target of the duel. Their mother world is the medium-sized material world."
"It's just a lucky bug-human civilization. There are seven small worlds next to their world. They are occupying those seven worlds with the help of the strong. Void technology is just a primitive civilization with a decent individual strength."
The Dragon Princess's tone was extremely disdainful. Similar civilizations, her father and brother had already destroyed an unknown amount.
"But there is no royal duel that chooses a civilization that can colonize another world as the goal. You are simply bullying others." Gladys fought for Morea. The normal royal duel is to choose a small material world. The medium-sized material world is considered a historical rarity.
"Am I bullying others?" The Dragon Princess Felicia looked at Gladys strangely, then burst out laughing, and then looked at Morea, "She actually said that I was bullying, that I could bully a Titan? "
"Morea doesn't have a force like you now. He has never entered the Empire's War College to learn any knowledge of the Void Battle."
"Really?" The Dragon Princess Felicia turned around gracefully, "But what does this have to do with me? Morea has already agreed to a duel. According to the regulations, I will provide the target of the duel, and Morea decides to fight. time to start."
"Or," Felicia smiled and looked at Morea, "you, the arrogant dragon of the titan, are planning to use this princess' mouth to concede defeat to me? That's not bad."
"When did you hear that I was going to admit defeat?" Morea put her hand on Gladys's shoulder and forced her to sit down. "Continue to introduce me to the information about the insect civilization."
