"How much can you lend me?" asked Muria.

"Well, under the condition of maintaining the normal operation of the forces under my command, I can probably lend you about 30 million!"

"Elemental crystals?" Muria was a little stunned.

"Or else?" Gladys looked at Muria with some strange surprise.

"I thought it was gold coins. "Muria smash it, smash it, what else can he say, he is so ignorant. When he was at his richest, none of the elemental crystals in his hands exceeded one million, and now Gladys said that she could lend him 30 million square meters, which really shocked him.

"How is it possible, the Ten Great Empires have long ceased to circulate metal currencies of little value, such as gold and silver, and instead use elemental crystal coins that have changed in value. ”

Gladys explained very patiently that she had already seen Muria's combat power, but she would not look down on or ridicule her because of this, her ancestors had all taken action because of Muria, and this kind of attention made Gladyse particularly happy, so far, among all the heirs to the throne, she is still the only one who knows about Muria's existence.

"Thirty million," Muria calmed down, then thought of the real purpose of his borrowing money, "I want to ask, can this money buy enough Void Ships to form a fleet?"

Muria only knows one thing, just to build a floating city, millions of elemental crystals smashed down, not a single splash of water, and the void battleship because of the different specifications and functions, the cost should not be as high as the floating city, probably, Muria does not understand this aspect.

"With careful calculations, we can probably assemble an ultra-small void fleet with no more than twenty ships. Gladys said with some uncertainty, "A Void fleet, at least a reconnaissance ship, destroyer, light cruiser and heavy cruiser, at least a light battle Void ship as the flagship of the command, well, there are also single-function transport ships, healing ships, supply ships, so if you count it, ......"

"The money you took me wasn't enough. "Muria came to the conclusion that forming a fully functional fleet, 30 million smashed down, can barely make a little splash, this is something that only an empire can build, the duchy can only dream, the kingdom can look up, fight for a hundred years, tighten the belt, it should be possible to buy a functional emasculated void fleet from the hands of the empire.

"You still need to borrow money, Your Highness Muria. ”

"Who else can I borrow?" asked Muria, a little helplessly, thirty million was not enough, "and, how much more?"

"You need to ask a professional about this. If you want to borrow money, you can find the Deep Blue Chamber of Commerce. Andrew can give you a big surprise. Gladyse has another very good suggestion.

"It's estimated that I will borrow hundreds of millions!" Muria rubbed his eyebrows, "What will I get in exchange for then?"

"Your Highness Muria, if you can win this duel, you will gain the dominion of a world, and not only will you not have to worry about these debts, but you will also be able to make a fortune and wait for the merchants of the empire to come and send you money. ”

"I see, help me contact Andrew. Muria let out a long breath, then pointed to the Lord of the Worms who was rolling at his feet, had turned into a mass of charcoal, but still had the breath of life spreading, "By the way, find someone to take care of it, I'm looking forward to what it will become after it survives this metamorphosis." ”

......

"Your Highness Muria, I understand the situation, that is, you are engaged in a royal duel with the princess of the Orlando Empire, but you are now lacking a Void fleet to transport your legions to the target world, right?" The fat merchant sat opposite Muria in human form, and Gladys sat next to Muria.

"Yes, you can help me estimate, under normal circumstances, what kind of fleet do I need to bring all of my legions, and how much money do I need to pay for this?"

"Your legion, do you mean the giants, and the dragons?" Andrew asked aloud, he didn't know much about Sinapus's intelligence, because he was very clever and didn't deliberately probe Sinapus's intelligence, he just saw everything Muria wanted him to see.

"There are about 100,000 giants, and at least five times as many alienated and ferocious animals, and in the case of dragons, there will not be more than a hundred. Muria roughly estimated. The humans on Sinapus were ignored by him, he didn't think that these humans could help him, just help him deal with the logistics, and let the giants and dragons come to the battlefield.

"In this case, your fleet needs to be specially customized, after all, although our empire is a mixed country, all types of ships are built according to the standard of human form, although there is room for various large beasts to move, but it still needs to be transformed. ”

"How much does it cost?" Muria always kept his eyes on the point.

"One hundred and twenty-nine million cubic elemental crystals, this is my preliminary estimate, Your Highness Muria. Andrew handed Muria a slab detailing the various types of Void ships, the number required, and the price.

"Banshee-class reconnaissance ships, fifty ships, with a total price of fifteen million, Photon Elf healing ships, five, with a total price of two million, Tiger Shark-class light cruisers, ten, with a total price of twenty-eight million...... Hydra-class battleships, one, with a unit price of 36 million. Muria looked at the price, and her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, "Aren't there too many of these functional ships?" ”

"These are all standard ships that a fleet must sail through the void. ”

"Isn't there a war fortress that combines all these functional ships into one?" asked Muria, "these are too troublesome, and if there is, you can only buy one." ”

"Your Highness Muria, you're talking about a floating city! this one is even more expensive, and it can't be built in a short period of time. ”

"Aren't there any ready-made?"

"Once the Empire's floating city is built, it will be put into use, and it is impossible to rust in a warehouse. Andrew shook his head, cutting off Muria's idea of borrowing money to buy a floating city.

"The various types of ships of the Void Fleet, to put it bluntly, are split from the various functions of the Floating City, and in terms of offense, the Void Fleet has more advantages. ”

"It's true, the original Void Fleet was born out of the Floating City, but now it has developed into a completely different system, with its own advantages and disadvantages. ”

"If I say, I only need a transport ship and a supply ship......

"This is too risky, Your Highness, there is not a dead silence in the void, there are all kinds of monsters rampant, you want to protect the fleet with your own strength, this is not realistic. All attack ships of all kinds are mandatory to buy. ”

"Okay, Andrew, how much can you lend me?" asked Muria very bluntly. He doesn't need to twist and pinch, there is an absolute gap between the identities and status of the two sides.

"I can borrow as much as you need!" Andrew replied very proudly, his caravan followed closely behind the Imperial colonial fleet, he was the purse bag of the royal family, and he had accumulated a wealth beyond Muria's imagination.

......

"Muria, this is the civilization we are targeting in this duel, the Soros Locust civilization, whoever gets the glory scepter and the crown inlaid with three star cores of the ruler of this civilization first will be the winner of the duel. ”

The blue-haired and blue-eyed princess, with her youthful graceful figure, looked relaxed in front of Muria, and introduced the goal of this duel with a hint of pride.

"This is an aggressive Zerg civilization that grew from a medium-sized world and then possessed the power to spy into the Void, they were lucky enough to find seven small worlds around their home world, and then opened the spatial gates through the strong and led the army in a colonial invasion. ”

"Wait a minute," Gladys, the seventh princess beside Muria, questioned as the dragon princess's projection stopped introducing and looked at her with a playful smile, "Is there a problem? ”

"You're going too far, you've chosen a civilization with the ability to colonize the Void as the target of a duel, and their home world is a medium-sized material realm. ”

"It's just a lucky Zerg civilization, there happen to be seven small worlds next to their world, and it is through the help of the strong to occupy those seven worlds, what kind of void colonization, they have not developed the technology that can allow ordinary races to enter the void at all, just a primitive civilization with good individual strength. ”

The tone of the dragon princess was unusually disdainful, similar civilizations, her father and brother had already destroyed an unknown number.

"But how can there be a royal duel that chooses a civilization that can be colonized by another world as the goal, you are simply bullying others. "Gladys is upset with Muria, normal royal duels are just to choose a small material world, and the choice of a medium-sized material world is considered a historical rarity.

"Am I a bully?" the dragon princess Felicia looked at Gladys with a strange look, then laughed out loud, and then looked at Muria, "She actually said that I was a bully, I can bully a Titan?"

"Muria doesn't have a force like you now, and he hasn't entered the Empire's War College to learn a single piece of Void Warfare. ”

"Really?" said Felicia, the princess of the dragon, gracefully turning, "but what does this have to do with me? Muria has already agreed to the duel, and according to the rules, I will provide the target of the duel, and Muria decides when to start. ”

"Or," Felicia smiled, looking at Muria, "that you, the proud Titan Dragon, are going to use the mouth of this princess to admit defeat to me?" ”

"When did you hear I was going to throw in the towel?" Muria reached out and pressed Gladys's shoulder, forcing her to sit down, "Continue to tell me about the Zerg civilization. ”
