Chapter 362: War Really Burns Money!

If only the payment of the deceased could not be compensated.

The thought crossed Brin's mind.

Of course, it's just a matter of thinking about it, the contract has been decided, and the other party is an ally in the oracle, but the elf has obviously not reached the limit, and he doesn't dare to do such a thing as turning his face......

Of course, with the elves' efforts, Brin didn't bother to do that.

He's not one of those cunning humans!

The reason why Blade City has become one of the famous commercial centers of the underground world is also because the dark dwarves and underground gnomes here are more honest than other places.

And, while the elves suffered heavy casualties, the damage they inflicted on the undead army was no less significant.

Looking out from the city walls, the army of the undead has been reduced by almost half!

You know, this time, the Dark Alliance has dispatched nearly 100,000 undead legions!

Unlike the Shadow Monsters, the army of the Fallen Undead is controllable, and the Dark Alliance spends a lot of time and effort preparing the Fallen Undead as an important combat force for the army before each war.

And directly destroying the undead is far more useful than exhausting the magic power of the opponent's existence to control the undead army, because it means that once this war is over, it is impossible for the other party to use the undead army in the short term!

In addition, the Dark Alliance's purpose in attacking Blade City was to capture the city, not to destroy it, so ...... It's unlikely that the Shadow Army will be summoned, as no one knows if it will eventually summon something.

So...... Once the undead army is eliminated, the frontal battlefield of this war will be half won.

As long as the high-end combat power wins the last one, the tone of this war will almost be set.

Thinking of this, Brin took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile, and asked:

"Tucker, how much money do we have left in our finances?"

Not only is Tucker responsible for calculating the rewards for this hire of elves, he is also the treasurer of Blade City.

And after listening to the chief's words, the old dwarf wiped his sweat again and replied:

"Chief Lord, if I have to say it, there are still 10 million left, but ...... We can use another five million at most, otherwise, it will affect the normal operation of our city and business. ”

Listening to the words of the treasurer, Brin fell silent.

Million......

According to this momentum, it will be able to hold on for a day.

Although money can always be earned, it can't be so wasteful.

Now that I think about it, I might as well hire mercenaries in the underworld to help defend it!

Hire a large professional mercenary group with an average strength of more than 50,000 and rich experience to participate in the war, and the maximum amount of gold pounds a day is only 50,000 gold pounds.

And even if a mercenary group participates in a war, it is impossible to hire only one day, it is usually calculated by months, and a month is only one and a half million pounds of gold.

Of course, that's what you think about.

Not to mention that the Dark Alliance has cut off the source of mercenaries hired by Blade City in the underworld, even if they are hired, can they do better than the elves?

No matter how elite the mercenaries are, with more than three or four percent casualties, they will collapse.

But these elves, the death ratio has already reached more than eighty percent, but they are still fierce......

Moreover, if it weren't for the desperate fighting they were, the losses of the undead legion would not have been so great.

If ordinary mercenaries are allowed to replace them, it is estimated that they will really have to fight a protracted war, and it may be possible to fight for a few years or even more than ten years.

The expenses and losses are also astronomical.

War...... It's meant to be a money-burning thing.

In fact, at the beginning, Brin was able to apply equipment in exchange for the support of the elves, considering that this war that the dark alliance had been preparing for a long time was very likely to become a protracted war.

And a set of equipment to hire elves for a few years or even more than ten years, it is simply not too profitable.

The ideal is very satisfying, and the reality is very skinny.

Who knows...... What a percentage of these elves are killed!

I got a set of equipment and died in the blink of an eye.

Although he killed the enemy, he died too quickly......

Caught with one's pants down.

Of course, it's not without its benefits.

Judging from Brin's experience, the undead army lost nearly half of it in a short period of time, and it is estimated that if this siege battle lasts for a few more days, the opponent will retreat.

Although the Dark Alliance still has an army of dark dwarves and soulsuckers, with the loss of the undead in front of them, Brin doesn't believe that the other party can't see that the city of blades has become a hard bone.

In this case, it is very likely that the opponent will choose to abandon the siege of Bladed City.

Taking a deep breath, Brin already had a plan in mind.

He turned to look at the diplomatic director who was standing on the other side and was in charge of negotiating with the elves, and said:

"You go and inform the other city-states about this war...... It's a war against our entire Silent Alliance! Elven allies are invited by everyone, and oracles are issued to all city-states! ”

"If they want to win, if they still have respect for the goddess, they have to bear the rewards of the elven allies!"

"The City of Blades has paid enough as a battlefield, and we can understand that they didn't send a lot of support out of consideration for their own safety, but this is not just a war in the City of Blades!"

Well......

The city of blades couldn't bear it, so it pulled up the other city-states to carry it together.

As long as you can end this war as soon as possible, it will be worth spending some extra money in the long run.

After giving instructions to the head of diplomacy, Brin looked at the walls that were still fighting, and his expression was heavy.

Ay......

Obviously at an advantage.

But my heart hurts......

Perhaps, these elves should be advised not to fight so aggressively?

At this time, Brin suddenly saw that Tucker, the treasurer, hesitated for a moment, and stopped talking.

His heart moved, and he asked:

"Tucker, what do you have to say?"

Tucker hesitated for a moment, then said euphemistically:

"Chief Lord, I don't know if it's my delusion, but many times, I feel that the elves who came to fight seem to have seen it somewhere, huh...... How to put it, it's the elves who later participated in the war, and some of their looks feel familiar to me...... Some even feel like they've seen it several times. ”

"I specifically asked them, and they said that the previous elves were their relatives, either their own brothers, or their own sisters, and some even said that they were twins......"

"It's just one or two, such elves...... It seems like a little too much. ”

After Tucker finished speaking, he smiled slightly wryly.

He had been holding this matter in his heart for a long time, and now he finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he mentioned it to the chief.

And listening to his words, Brin frowned slightly:

"You mean to say...... After an elf entered the war, he went around and came back and got paid again? ”

Tucker hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Brin's brow furrowed even deeper.

He glanced at the city wall, then at the teleportation circle, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head slightly:

"It shouldn't be possible."

"The elves who came to participate in the battle all came through the teleportation array, and the ultra-long-distance teleportation array was connected to Black Rock City, and after the elves fought on the city wall, few people came down except for those who died in battle......"

"If it's really what you said, can they still transfer to Black Rock City hundreds of kilometers away out of thin air, and then teleport back?"
