At the same time that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce began to establish a production base in the Xinfei Farm of the Duchy of Stantin, a place to the north of the farm, less than twenty kilometers away from the border between the Duchy of Stanting and the Black Rice Wasteland, was specially opened up as the garrison of the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The place where Xu Yi and Severny talked was in this guard base.

The two of them walked out of the door and saw that two groups of people had been neatly gathered on the large playground in the middle of the guard base, on the left hand was the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and on the right hand was the five hundred personal guards brought by Severny this time.

From this point of view, Ankru often sighed before, and Xu Yi also deeply realized that the statement "the Duchy of Stantin cannot be regarded as a country at all" is very accurate.

Otherwise, as Her Royal Highness the Lady of the Sevini Lampari Kingdom, it would be impossible for her to casually bring her five hundred personal escorts into another sovereign and complete country.

And here, Xu Yi just informed the local territory, the Earl of Weilun, and lightly let Sevini enter the Duchy of Stanting with a personal escort.

On the large playground, two groups of people lined up in two separate piles, and the difference was obvious at a glance.

Sevigny's five hundred personal guards were uniformly dressed, wearing the same style of royal insignia of the Lampari Kingdom, and most importantly, they were all human, and when they stood side by side, they looked extremely neat, and at a glance, they were a complete battle phalanx.

And the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce looked a little confused at a glance.

The most obvious is that the composition of the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is extremely complex.

There were 500 of them, but only a hundred of them were human guards. Another four hundred guards. There are one hundred and fifty elven guards. There are two hundred dwarven guards, and the remaining fifty are orc guards recruited not long ago.

And because of the different habits of each race, the weapons and armor on the bodies of these guards are not very uniform.

Among them, the elven warriors are accustomed to wearing light soft armor, the dwarven warriors like the heavier the heavier the heavier the heavier the better the heavy armor, and the orc warriors don't even like to wear armor.

The 100 human warriors wore uniform armor. And all of them have magical protection, but the weapon selection is strange, and there are all kinds of styles.

Xu Yi once questioned Hart, the human captain of the escort team, about whether such a messy choice of weapons and equipment would affect his combat effectiveness, but Hart told him that it was no problem.

If you need to dress uniformly on a large scale, it is generally necessary in the army with a large number of people, and there is no need for a small escort team.

If you really want to talk about combat effectiveness, a team like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Escort Team seems to be mixed, but because of the super combat power of the elf warriors, dwarf warriors and orc warriors, the power exerted far exceeds that of human warriors of the same scale.

What's more, the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is all equipped with specially developed various individual military magic machines. The combat power of a human escort alone is far from being comparable to that of an ordinary human soldier.

Looking at the equipment on the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Even Sevigny couldn't help but feel a little amazed in his heart.

"Xu Yi, when you said that you wanted to change the clothes of my five thousand personal guards, did you plan to change them all into equipment like theirs?"

"Hmm...... At that time, it was estimated that this kind of process would not be reached, because several pieces of equipment had not yet been fully developed. For example, the miniature magic hand crossbow and the miniature magic burst arrow equipped with it were only recently developed. Xu Yi replied.

"Miniature Magic Hand Crossbows and Miniature Magic Burst Arrows?" Sevigny's gaze swept over the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort, but he didn't find where the two pieces of equipment were.

"These two pieces of equipment are currently only human guard equipment, and they are all hidden on their bodies, and they will not be taken out. Xu Yi smiled and explained. "With the exception of the human guards, the guards of the other races disliked that this thing was too small to suit their appetite, so they didn't have any equipment. ”

"That's so......" Severny nodded, paused, and asked, "How much gold would it cost to equip my guards with the same set of equipment?"

Xu Yi glanced at her and smiled: "What's this...... If it is a complete set of individual military magic machines, the current total price is three hundred gold coins. What's the matter, Your Highness the Princess, are you interested?"

"Three hundred gold coins?!" Severny's eyes widened. "It's so expensive! The total number of guards in your Chamber of Commerce seems to be more than a thousand, right? If each guard is equipped with a set, wouldn't it cost even more than 300,000 gold coin......s? This is almost enough to catch up with the military expenses of our Lampari Kingdom Military Department for the whole year!"

"If it is compared to the actual military expenditure on the army of the Lampari Kingdom, it is undoubtedly far exceeded. Xu Yi replied with a smile.

Of course, Sevini understood the meaning of Xu Yi's words, was silent for a moment, sighed, and shook his head slightly: "I also wanted to equip each of my personal guards with the same set, but I didn't expect that one set would cost three hundred gold coins." If there are 5,000 sets, that's a full 1.5 million gold coins, and I don't have that much money. ”

Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders: "Actually, I don't have that much money, so in fact, the guards who are really equipped with a full set of individual military magic machines are only a hundred human guards here now." The other Guardians of the other races just let them pick their favorite equipment. ”

"That's pretty much it. Severny let out a light breath, glanced at the two groups of guards on the playground, and continued, "Well, since everything is ready, let's announce the start of the operation." ”

Xu Yi made an inviting gesture: "Your Royal Highness, please princess." ”

Severny nodded, climbed onto a platform that had been prepared a long time ago, his eyes swept over one of the guards under the stage, cleared his throat, and said aloud: "Warriors, you are gathered here today because some orcs have committed unforgivable crimes......

......

After Severny's short but passionate speech, a motorcade of magical locomotives poured in from outside the playground.

These magic locomotives are different from the various freight or passenger magic locomotives previously announced by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and the whole body is composed of thick steel plates, and it is completely enclosed, only the front is inlaid with two thick pieces of glass.

The whole magic locomotive looks angular and even a little hideous, which makes people feel full of a strong dangerous atmosphere at first glance.

Seeing these strange-looking magic locomotives rushing in, Sevigny was stunned for a moment and asked Xu Yi, "This is the magic armored transporter you mentioned to me before?"

"Yes. This Magic Armoured Transporter is specially designed to withstand a certain amount of attacks without affecting the personnel carried in the vehicle, making it ideal for transporting soldiers to battle. Xu Yi replied.

Severny glanced at the rows of fifty magical armored transporters that were already in the playground, and was a little speechless.

Is this called "can withstand a certain amount of attack"?

With this thick outer layer of steel alone, it's enough to withstand any attack, right?'

Not to mention that the outer steel plate was not yet shining with magical light, and it was obvious that there was also a magic circle engraved on it.

There is no need to guess, these magic arrays must be some protective magic arrays, which must be able to greatly enhance the protection of these magic armored transport vehicles, and should even be able to resist some magic effects.

Riding in such a magical armored transporter, you can completely rampage on the battlefield!

"It's not that exaggerated. Xu Yi smiled and shook his head. "Don't forget, even the most powerful mages aside, there are powerful weapons like the Magic Trebuchet. ”

"How could a magician with that kind of strength make a move at will, attacking these mana transport armored vehicles would be a complete waste of mana, okay? Sevini glared at Xu Yi, then looked at the magic armored transporters, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "If all of our troops in the Lampari Kingdom can have such equipment like the escort team of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then there is no need to worry about the threat of the Sark Kingdom at all." ”

"Well...... this," Xu Yi laughed dryly. "Obviously impossible. I've spent more than half a million gold coins on the equipment of the Chamber of Commerce Escort alone, not to mention the cost of other logistics, supplies, and training facilities. On average, I spent at least eight hundred gold on each of the guards, could the Kingdom Military Department have that much money?"

Sevini sighed: "The military department doesn't have a hundred million gold coins for a whole year's military expenditure, how can it be possible to make the kingdom army as luxurious as your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort." ”

"What's more, those guys in the kingdom, even if they have money, won't invest in the army, and they're too busy putting it in their pockets. Xu Yi sneered. "I heard...... In the name of encouraging and promoting the development of the magic industry, the Department of Commerce intends to implement a large tax reduction for the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Department of Magic Industry. ”

Sevigny frowned, was silent for a moment, and shook his head slightly: "I don't want to talk about these things anymore. Xu Yi, let them get started. ”

Seeing Sevigny's tired face, Xu Yi sighed lightly in his heart, walked up to the stage, swept his eyes over the two groups of guards who had been prepared under the stage, nodded, and said in a low voice: "I announce, the clean-up operation of the Black Rice Wasteland will start now!"
