224: Agni
Despite the small episode of people donating money, the auction was still very successful.
Or because they were impressed by Aslan's personality, many merchants auctioned off the City Lord's Mansion and auctioned things at any cost.
Twenty weapons and armor forged by the dwarven masters, plus a dozen bottles of perfume and more than two dozen bottles of alchemy, sold for 400,000 gold coins.
This price, even Thiago couldn't help but be shocked when he counted the gold coins.
You must know that the cost of these things together is only tens of thousands of gold coins, and when they are sold outside, they are worth at most fifty or sixty thousand, but now they have multiplied several times.
Thiago even joked with Aslan about the number of auctions like this, and there was no need for Skyfield's own chamber of commerce to exist.
Aslan naturally wouldn't agree.
This is the same as the charity auction in the previous life, in the name of occupying the righteousness, auctioning things to get money, and then using this money to help others, which will naturally resonate with many people, this is also a kind of charity, if it is a simple auction, it is not worth the money at all, and no one is so stupid to buy it.
It was all based on Aslan's readiness to send troops against the orcs.
After all, most of the itinerant merchants in the Flying City are from Andra State, and now Andra State is being ravaged by the orc army, this may be the only thing they can do, and in the past, he wanted to do such a thing, but he didn't dare to do it, lest he be targeted by those nobles or officials, and his property would be snatched by tricks.
It is true that there are no businessmen and no traitors, but it does not mean that all businessmen have lost even the most basic conscience.
The next day's war bond issuance went very well.
Originally, it was only a reservation for 300,000 gold coins of war bonds, but it was sold out in one morning, and the people from the other two cities and one port who came to buy war bonds did not have to buy them, and there was a sudden commotion.
In the end, it was only after the temporary printing of 200,000 war bonds that the anger of the people of Feitian City was appeased.
Gus looked at the nearly one million gold coins counted in front of him, and the financial problem was solved.
An auction and war bonds were simply settled.
"That's where credibility comes in. Aslan said a new term to the crowd in the conference hall.
"Credibility refers to the trust of public power in fairness, justice, efficiency, humanity, democracy and responsibility in the face of time differences, public interactions and exchange of interests in the public life of the territory. Credibility is both a kind of trust of the people of the territory in the liege, and it is also a true expression of public authority. Aslan's words are very serious, except for a few people who can understand the generals, most people are confused.
Wenchen's side reacted profoundly, many people fell into deep thought, and they learned a lesson from Aslan, even Valondo was no exception to this subject, he looked at Aslan very unexpectedly, and really couldn't understand why Aslan, a young man who was less than eighteen years old, had such a high level of consciousness.
Duties of a military man.
Duties of the lord of the castle.
Territorial credibility.
Wow, people who don't know, still think Aslan is a great university scholar.
The funds were in place, and the general mobilization in the following three days, the first division of the Flying Army, two light infantry battalions, a modern infantry company, a cavalry company, a heavy infantry battalion, plus a chariot company and an engineer battalion, a total of 4,000 troops, although the strength is not much, but it is the elite of the entire Flying City.
This time to crusade against the orcs, the elves took the initiative to send a group of twenty mages, plus a hundred elven warriors, needless to say, every elven warrior has mastered the fighting spirit, but all of them are archers.
The army marched out, with the cavalry company leading the way, followed by two light infantry battalions, followed by a chariot company full of modern infantry companies.
There were no surprises or surprises in the other units, the most surprising was the tank company.
It was a convoy of twenty eight-wheeled heavy trucks plus four tanks.
That's right, it's a tank, but it's very different from the tank in Aslan's previous life.
This tank was named the Agni main battle tank by Aslan.
The tank is 4.5 meters wide, 8.3 meters long, 2.37 meters high, but the weight is only about 25-32 tons, the main attack faced by the tank is magic attack, as for melee weapons, Aslan has already tested, with Dominic's strength, the most to promote the fighting spirit is only to cut a knife mark on the upper armor, and there is no way to penetrate the armor of the tank without the strength of the great swordsman.
Its armor is made of high-strength alloy steel forged by the dwarven master, plus defensive runes and magic patterns attached to it, although the thickness is only fifty millimeters thick, the defensive power is not worse than the armor of hundreds of millimeters thick in the previous life, and more importantly, it can resist magical attacks.
The engine is a mid-level mana source engine refined by elves, and there are two, one is a tank action engine, and the other is a fire magic cannon on the turret that can be used.
The working principle of the magic source engine is to absorb the free magic elements between heaven and earth to urge, unless there is no trace of magic elements in the entire space, the theory is that this magic source engine is like a perpetual motion machine after starting, and it can continue to work continuously.
Of course, this is only a theory, after all, after the mana source engine is started, the wear and tear of the magic on the mana source engine must also be considered.
The mana source engine is divided into four levels, junior high school, plus an ultimate, of course, there is a legend that there is an existence beyond the ultimate, but that is no longer something that this continent can create.
It's just that after Aslan mastered this magic source engine, there was an additional level, that is, the entry-level below the elementary level, that is, the magic source engine of the Aslan sightseeing car, this kind of engine can be made without an elf mage.
Now the forklifts and bulldozers used daily in Flying City are all powered by primary mana source engines, while the Agni main battle tank uses two intermediate mana source engines, and it is said that Amenon is also equipped with two high-level mana element engines, and the ultimate mana source engine, An Ning said has not appeared for hundreds of years.
The main gun of the Flame Main Battle Tank is a large staff with a diameter of more than 120mm, and a huge fire-based magic crystal is embedded at the top of the muzzle, which is sealed with fire-based magic and a primary-level magic flame ball.
Although it is only a primary magic, the flame ball shot from the Flame Main Battle Tank is more than forty centimeters in size, and the power is ten times that of the flame ball cast by a human magician, just like the fireball technique shot by Amenon's staff, although it is only the most basic fireball technique, but the fireball technique of such a huge volume is more powerful than the intermediate magic flame blast bomb.
These four behemoths drove on the road of the Great Flying City, and the onlookers even clearly felt the earth trembling, and Valondo, who was standing on the magic tower of the City Lord's Mansion, looked at the four moving 'tanks' below, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
When Aslan built the truck, he was just surprised, but not too shocked, just amazed by Aslan's whimsy, but when he came to ask how to fuse such a large wand with a mana source engine, the first thing Valendo had was that he was going crazy.
But when the Flame main battle tank appeared, he immediately knew that the world was about to change, and a new magic golem that could threaten the war golem was born.
