"The specific situation of Silent City ......" Al muttered for a while, and then slowly spoke: "First of all, in terms of logistics, with the export of dark grass and other special agricultural products such as dark grass, the economy of Silent City has barely reached the level of balance between supply and demand, and the cultivation team of the research institute also has several hybrid projects in progress, once a suitable, reliable, non-toxic, and stable new creature is cultivated, it can be enriched to provide a part of the rations to supply the army." ”

"In addition, the group of people in the military ration group has also developed two kinds of portable military rations, compared with ordinary military rations, under the same volume, it can make soldiers last half and twice as long as they want, in other words, the rations that can only last two days can only be used for two days, and if they are replaced with this portable military rations, they can make soldiers last for three and four days, as for the disadvantages, ......"

Al's expression suddenly became tangled, and he paused for a few seconds before he spoke, "Just three words: it's too bad!" ”

Everyone chuckled, but Hunter nodded: "It's not a problem to be unpalatable, replace all the emergency rations of the Demon Army with the one with the highest nutritional supply." ”

"Oh no!"

Dave wailed, but was slapped on the back of the head by Feige: "Don't be weird, this is something that can save lives at a critical time!" ”

Dave pouted unconvinced: "I don't believe that those guys can force our demon army to that point!" ”

"What if the other party's legendary powerhouse makes a move?"

Feige glared at Dave and choked Dave speechless.

Seeing that everyone stopped discussing, Al continued: "As for the economy, a large part of the economy of Silent City currently relies on Uncle Devon's Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce, if the Demon Army and the Silver Flame Wargroup need to change their equipment, then you need to talk to Uncle Devon yourself." ”

"That's fine."

Divo nodded in response, and although Fei Qi and the other seven commanders did not say anything, they also nodded in understanding.

At present, although Silent City has a lot of special products for export, most of these specialties are used in exchange for food to improve the diet of the residents of Silent City, otherwise, if the night grass is used as rations, maybe the residents of Silent City will become a new race in the future-the Fluorescent People.

Therefore, although the Silent City has set up research institutes, foundries and other institutions, whether it is various research materials, or metals and ores used for casting, they are all collected and purchased by the Arrow Chamber of Commerce from all over the world, and then transferred to the Silent City.

So no matter from which point of view, Silent City is very poor, because everything it does depends on the capital injection of the Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce to operate normally, and the Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce is also very poor, although the average daily net income of the Chamber of Commerce is thousands of gold coins, and the net profit per month is close to 300,000 gold coins, but in order to support the expansion and operation of Silent City, the Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce has to send various materials worth more than 200,000 gold coins to Silent City every month, and there are only 70,000 or 80,000 gold coins left.

And among these gold coins, more than 50,000 gold coins have to be used to dot up and down in different cities and establish good relations with various local forces, which can be regarded as a disguised protection fee, and this expenditure will become more and more with the expansion of the Chamber of Commerce.

In the end, the remaining 20,000 or 30,000 gold coins, some of which will be used to build new caravans and expand trade routes, can flow into Lao Daiwen's hands every month, and it is only tens of thousands of gold coins, and the enchantment materials provided to Lina this month were all bought by Lao Daiwen out of his own pocket, as for the capital chain of the Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce, it really can't stand the toss.

After giving a general introduction to the economic situation of Silent City, and by the way, after telling Old Devin about his complaints, Al continued to talk about the issues that everyone was most concerned about: "The army, the current Silent City is very strong in terms of the army, due to the large amount of materials supplied by the Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce, this whole year, the foundry has been running at full capacity, creating a large amount of equipment, not only completing the installation of the Silent Blade, but also additionally stockpiling more than 1,200 sets of Silent Blade soldier equipment, 300 sets of junior officer equipment, and twelve sets of Commander Equipment. ”

"In addition to equipment, in terms of military expansion, Silent City has never stopped, and the specific situation ......"

Al gestured to the Shadow Blade standing behind him, and the Shadow Blade hurriedly stepped forward and saluted everyone before he spoke: "Now the Silent Blade has expanded to the size of eight thousand three hundred and twenty-seven people, divided into eight regular combat regiments and one elite regiment, of which eight regular combat regiments are full formations, a total of seven thousand two hundred and eight people, among which ordinary soldiers are elite soldiers who have awakened their "qi", and officers above the squadron leader are all specialized in awakening, and have generally completed the second awakening, All eight Archons have completed their third awakening. ”

"The elite regiment is ...... Strengthen the regiment," the shadow blade paused, and then said the word "strengthen the regiment" with some twisting words, "The elite regiment has a total of one thousand one hundred and nineteen people, and all the soldiers' awakening types are specialized awakenings, of which nine hundred and forty-three soldiers are in the middle and late stages of the first awakening, one hundred and seventy-two soldiers and officers have completed the second awakening, and the commander and four captains have completed the three awakenings. ”

"So many ......"

Listening to the report of the Shadow Blade, everyone, including Al, couldn't help but gasp, the strength of the Silent Blade was really beyond their expectations, the elite regiment among them was a few points stronger than the White Horse Army during the civil war, and the eight ordinary combat regiments were already perverted enough, although the strength of a single combat regiment was still far behind the elite armies of other territories, but if the two combat regiments were combined, they would definitely be able to crush more than ninety percent of the elite troops in the territory!

In other words, in terms of elite troops, Silent City has already topped five territories that focus on the development of military power!

If this power is taken out, even the current demon army will retreat!

As the head of the demon army, Fei Qi knew in his heart that although the current demon army had expanded to more than three hundred, and he had completely abused the Silent Blade in terms of individual strength, if he faced the entire Silent Blade in the plains and was besieged by the other party, their demon army would at most fight one or two combat groups, and they would be completely wiped out under the attack of the Silent Blade.

However, Al has been in charge of Silent City for so long, and he quickly calmed down: "You get what you pay for, on the Silent Blade, we spent at least two million gold coins, if we are not strong, then we can't say anything." ”

When the others heard this, they also laughed, especially the seven commanders led by Fei Qi, and they also saw a lot in their hearts, although the current strength of the Silent Blade is strong, but no matter how you say it, it is also the power of the Silent City, not to mention, the Silent Blade is still the reserve army of their demon army, the stronger the Silent Blade, the faster their demon army will develop!

Everyone asked about the Nine Commanders of the Silent Blade again, but El only said one sentence: "For the Nine Commanders, everyone can rest assured." ”

If their loyalty is not high enough, how can they become commanders?

Al added with a smile in his heart, and then continued to talk about the situation in Silent City: "Don't just stare at the Silent Blade, in addition to the Silent Blade, the strength of the city guards in Silent City is also good. ”

"City Guard ......"

This time, everyone was silent, in everyone's impression, the city guards were just a group of militia to maintain order, no matter how strong they were, how strong could they be?

Seeing everyone's expressions, Al laughed, as if he had seen through everyone's thoughts, and said jokingly: "You guys, you guys, aren't you confusing the city guards of our Silent City with the city guards of other territories, right?" ”

Everyone was still silent, acquiescing to Al's question, and Al was not annoyed, and said to the shadow blade beside him: "Let's talk about it, let this group of 'dirt buns' reacquaint themselves with our city guards!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen," Shadow Blade saluted the crowd again, he didn't have the courage to call them "dirt buns" like Al El, "Our city guards in Silent City now have more than 1,500 ordinary soldiers, and all members have the strength of active veterans. ”

It was just a sentence, but it was like a thunderbolt that crossed everyone's ears: "Veteran? Fifteen hundred veterans?! ”

"Yes," the Shadow Blade nodded, not explaining, but continued, "In addition, there are more than two hundred officers of all ranks, all of whom have the strength of elite soldiers. ”

"This ......"

Dave opened his mouth, just about to say something, but heard the shadow blade speak: "In addition, Silent City also implements a military service system, all young and middle-aged residents have to spare three days a month for military training, if they refuse to participate in training, they need to pay additional military service tax, as of the 15th of this month, in the event of a full-scale war, Silent City can draw a regular army of 5,700 people in one day, and if the war situation deteriorates, it can also draw more than 10,000 reserve troops." ”

"Five thousand seven...... 10,000 ......"

Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Elton smiled even more happily: "You group of hands-shaking shopkeepers, this is scared, don't forget, where is our Silent City established, Black Fall!" Although there is no threat from bandit groups in the Black Drop, they will have to face the attack of snow elves and underground creatures at any time, which is much more difficult to deal with than those roving bandit groups! ”

"So our Silent City is one level less than other territories in terms of the setting of the army class, that is, there is no regular army, and the regular army is directly organized into a city guard army, which is used to resist various threats from the black landing, which is why the city guards of our Silent City at least have the strength of veterans, fighting against underground creatures every day, and those with poor strength have died long ago!"

"And among the residents of our Silent City, a large part of them were bandits and bandits with less evil deeds before joining Silent City, or during the civil war, the retired soldiers of the reserve in other territories have a certain combat effectiveness, and it is based on this special situation that I will implement the policy of compulsory military service, each person will take three days a month to fully maintain their combat effectiveness, once a war breaks out, our Silent City can also come out with all the soldiers!"

"The equipment is ......"

Listening to Ferina's question, Al replied without hesitation: "There are eight thousand sets of regular army equipment in the warehouse, and two thousand sets of light equipment used by the reserves, even if it is really necessary to put the reserves on the battlefield, it is enough, after all, ......"

The remaining half of the sentence Al didn't finish, but everyone understood the cruelty and tragedy contained in it, if it really came to the time when the reserves had to be sent into battle, it meant that the Demon Army, the Silent Blade and the City Guards had all been destroyed, and the temporarily assembled regular army had sacrificed at least a third, and even if only half of the equipment of the tens of thousands of people was recovered, it was enough for the rest of the reserves.

"Hey, don't be so heavy all of a sudden," Al suddenly laughed as he looked at everyone's expressions, "Do you think we could really get beaten to that point?" Even if our Silent City is facing the whole province, we can still make a five-five fight, not to mention that we still have so many backers. ”

Hearing this, everyone's expressions also became relaxed, and they all remembered the two mythical powerhouses who still lived next door, as well as the many legendary powerhouses who came to help, if under such conditions, the Silent City was still beaten to the point where all the people had to be soldiers, then there was only one situation left - the gods and demons battlefield had completely fallen, and the demon army tore through the Holy Spirit barrier and attacked the world of Nain!

But if you think about it on your toes, you know that it is absolutely impossible, at least in their lifetime, and everyone is sure of this.

Everyone laughed for a while, and seeing that Al didn't mean to continue the introduction, Filina suddenly asked, "Al, you can't forget an army, right?" ”

"Forgot an army?" Al was slightly stunned, then looked at Filina and smiled bitterly: "Big sister, you can't be the idea of fighting the Shadow Blade, right?" ”

"Why not?" Firina asked rhetorically, joking with El, "You're not going to think of Shadowblade as your own personal army, are you?" ”

Elton called out: "How is this possible, eldest sister, my loyalty can be seen in heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon can be revealed......"

"Stop! Get down to business! ”

"Okay, then I'll be blunt, in my opinion, the current Shadow Blade does not have the conditions to go to the battlefield."

Saying that, Al also sighed and explained: "Although the average strength of the Shadow Blades is very strong, and the lowest strength realm has also completed the second awakening, in order to ensure the loyalty of the Shadow Blade to the Silent City, as well as the training of various skills such as stealth and infiltration, until now, the total number of Shadow Blades is only just over a hundred, and the frontal combat ability is not strong. ”

"Therefore, at present, the Shadow Blade can only be used as an intelligence system for Silent City, and even if it does, it can only cover the nine territories of Skyrim Province and establish a relatively complete intelligence network, and it is unable to expand externally."

As he spoke, Al sighed again, in his opinion, intelligence is one of the key factors that determine the outcome of a war, and now Shadow Blade can only barely be responsible for intelligence collection in Skyrim Province, in this case, how could he send Shadow Blade to the battlefield?

However, Al's sigh only got the white eyes of Felina and the others, you call it complaining? You're just showing off, okay!

Through the condemnation of Al, everyone buried their surprise deep in their eyes, but a voice kept echoing in their hearts: how long has it been, and this dwarven city in the Realm of No Light has swelled to this point!
