Magic Guilds.

In the study, Oberian's somber eyes swept over the high-definition magical image in front of him, which was a large newly built harbor, with hundreds of ocean-going ships moored, and occasionally a new magical giant ship could be seen sailing into the harbor.

Those fleets were all flying the flags of different chambers of commerce, a few were from the Xingmeng Continent, and more were from distant other continents. They brought a huge amount of food, weapons and armor, war horses, slaves and other resources, and injected fresh blood into this newly born kingdom.

As an old super powerhouse, who has lived for more than two hundred years, the well-informed O'Belian naturally understands what this means, the country established by Qin Feng has grown far faster than he expected.

Beside him, Antonio, who had just returned from the Yunsen Kingdom, was also solemn and speechless.

A middle-aged mage is reporting: "...... At present, it has been preliminarily ascertained that the number of regular troops in the Xingshan Kingdom has reached 250,000, and the equipment level can be compared to the elite legions of the Grossas Dragon Empire, in addition to 100,000 young adults who are undergoing rigorous training, and it is expected that they will be officially incorporated into the army in three months. ”

"In terms of internal affairs, the kingdom has straightened out its internal administrative system, and with a large number of professional officials stationed in the newly acquired cities, the local order has stabilized. In addition, some geographically important cities are being expanded and fortified. According to the covert observations of our informants, the new city management system is simple and efficient, and in no way inferior to the powerful and prosperous empires. ”

"Since the founding of the country, Qin Feng has been constantly buying a large number of young and middle-aged slaves to increase the population base in the country, according to incomplete statistics, the number of ordinary slaves he purchased before and after has exceeded 400,000, of which more than one-third have been incorporated into the army."

"Today, the newly born kingdom has more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land, a population of more than 7 million, and has obtained complete access to the sea, which means that their foreign commerce and trade will be more prosperous in the future, and they will have a faster and more convenient transportation of goods."

“…… As long as they build up a large fleet, it is possible to expand south along the coastline and sweep away all the principalities and kingdoms along the coast. ”

Finally, the mage said.

Antonio couldn't help but say: "The navy has always been a costly service, how can it be so easy to build a fleet that can deter the coastal countries of the mainland?" Even if he had a sufficient number of magic crystals, he would not have more than ten years to train a working fleet. ”

This is well-known common sense, and the cost of building a navy is staggering, and even those powerful empires that want to build a huge fleet from scratch will have to go through many years of continuous investment of massive resources before they can get what they want.

Obelian frowned and said, "But according to the information we have had, Qin Feng has plenty of resources at hand, and he is not short of magic crystals, otherwise he would not turn a blind eye to our troubles and suppression." So he wants to have a sizable fleet, and the difficulty is not as great as we think. ”

Qin Feng has frequent contacts with those big chambers of commerce, it can be said that he likes to buy something, and there are quite a few of them, all of them are cash on delivery, which is an open secret.

Antonio pondered: "He can't have so much money himself, is there other big force behind him behind the scenes?" Sengel of the Royal Academy of Magic? Or the bastards from the Arcane Guild? ”

Obelian's face sank, this kind of speculation is extremely likely, if Qin Feng does find other backers, then his plan will undoubtedly fail, and it will be extremely unfavorable to Antonio's future rise plan.

He raised his hand to adjust the magic image, and began to examine the territory of the Star Cedar Kingdom again, as well as the entire northeastern region of the continent.

Among the 29 continents in this world, the Xingmeng Continent is undoubtedly the most extensive in area, with more than 10 large countries with a territory of more than 10 million square kilometers, and hundreds or even thousands of second-rate, third-rate, and even non-streamed countries and forces.

The northeast of the continent has a cold climate, poor living conditions, a vast and sparsely populated area, and inconvenient transportation, so it has been a state of scattered sand for thousands of years, and no decent large country has ever been born. At best, there are small principalities, city-states, and occasionally a few small kingdoms in between.

To the north of this newly-born Star Cedar Kingdom, beyond the Black Frost Rock Mountains, is an endless ice field, where all kinds of ferocious demonic beasts and frost giants are rampant, which is basically unsuitable for human survival and reproduction.

In the west and south of the kingdom's borders, the neighbors are basically small and medium-sized countries, and only by continuing to travel 2,000 kilometers south will more powerful countries begin to appear.

"It seems...... If my expectations are correct, this Qin Feng is planning to pocket the entire Northeast Territory and establish a real empire. ”

Obelian observed for a long time, and then slowly spoke.

Antonio was taken aback, came over and looked at it seriously, and said, "But in such a bitter cold land, even if the empire is really established, how much strength can it have?" It can't be compared to those empires in the middle of the continent, right? ”

Obelian sneered: "Then there is the bitter cold land, this tens of millions of square kilometers of land, the total population size is also tens of millions, if you can preach here and gather the power of faith for him to ignite the divine fire, you can at least be a medium god in the future, right?" ”

"How can this be?"

Antonio's face suddenly became extremely ugly: "He dares to disobey the orders of the Magic Guild and set up a state-owned enterprise without authorization to become a god?" It's just disregarding the overall situation and going crazy! ”

This guy is not stupid, he immediately saw that with Qin Feng's progress, there is a great possibility that he will walk ahead of him and ignite the divine fire first. And because of the advantages of territory and population, it will be easy for him to reach the level of medium divine power after becoming a god in the future, which is difficult for him to compete with.

Obviously, he is the most outstanding genius in the magic guild, the real chosen son, how can he be compared to this wild boy who came out of nowhere?

"Teacher, what should I do now?"

Antonio asked gloomily. Standing in his position, Qin Feng must no longer be allowed to continue to develop like this, otherwise how can he still have his own position in the future?

Obelian frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "It's still unclear who the forces behind Qin Feng are, so it's inconvenient for me to take action in person, so it's better for you to test him." Don't kill him, it's better to win the battle and subdue, so that his inheritance will be used by you. ”

"Okay."

Antonio agreed.

……

Star Fir Kingdom.

In the palace, Qin Feng received a guest from the Diya Blue Continent, the dragon-blooded dwarf merchant Witzler.

“…… The world believes that when it comes to the construction technology of magic warships, the Elven Empire should be second to none, followed by the ship-building level of the Human Empire, otherwise the level of those sea clans is still passable. ”

"But let me say that only the great and noble Dragon-Blood Dwarf clan can build an invincible magic warship, whether it is endurance, speed, or attack ability, it is the top level!"

"Your Majesty intends to order warships from us, this is definitely your wisest choice, we have the largest number of warships with the most types and specifications for you to choose freely, even if you just want a complete navy, we can do it for you!"

With a confident smile on his face and an infectious aria, Witzler would have been on the level of a salesman if placed in the Overworld.

And this big businessman is not boasting indiscriminately, in the magic images he brought, there are hundreds of types of ships to choose from, ranging from small boats about ten meters long to magical energy giant ships hundreds of meters long; Transports, cruise ships, warships, troop carriers, whaling ships that hunt whales and large sea beasts, and so on.

Qin Feng naturally fell in love with the largest and most advanced warships, they were built of steel mixed with magic metal, with a large number of magic arrays with different functions, powered by large magic furnaces, as long as the supplies were sufficient, they could safely sail in the depths of the ocean with extremely harsh climates and environments.

This giant ship is 500 meters long, larger than the aircraft carrier of the main world, with three magic towers dedicated to combat on it, and is also equipped with hundreds of large magic ballistas, capable of carrying thousands of elite warriors, like a moving sea city, completely the existence of the king of the ocean.

"I need this,"

Qin Feng pointed to this kind of giant ship and said: "And all the facilities on it must be top-level configuration, in addition, there must be enough redundant space to meet the needs of modification, as for the quantity...... Let's start with a dozen! ”

"A dozen? Twelve? ”

The diminutive Witzler's eyes widened, and he once suspected that something was wrong with his ears, the cost of this top-of-the-line magic ship was astronomical, and even the kings of those big empires would be quite cautious about it, and it would usually be good to place an order for one or two ships.

Can this Xingshan Kingdom, which has only appeared for a short time, get such a huge amount of money?

"Questions?"

Qin Feng asked lightly.

"Uh...... Of course no problem,"

Witzler licked his lips, and his voice was a little dry: "Even if you are given the best price, the price of a magic giant ship will not be less than 20,000 magic crystals, Your Majesty...... Ready to spend the money? ”

Qin Feng's expression was as usual: "It's a fair price, then it's decided!" After signing the agreement, I will pay the deposit and security deposit in full. In addition, I will order some auxiliary warships, as well as ocean-going vessels to form the Chamber of Commerce's trade fleet. ”

In the end, he ordered 12 giant ships in one go, as well as 24 second-class warships, 50 auxiliary ships of all levels, 30 military high-speed transport ships, and 100 giant ocean-going ships, which is basically equivalent to the main naval force of a large empire.

It wasn't until the two sides signed the text of the agreement and received twenty tons of Mithril as a security deposit that Witzler believed he wasn't dreaming, that he had just secured the largest single trade contract for the Dragonblood Gnomes in thousands of years.
