Chapter 169: All the people are soldiers, and the storage grid has grown greatly [ask for subscription]

Money is such a thing, as long as you have enough to spend.

Chen Xuan really has no concept of these cash boxes.

After all, the White Rose Caravan relied on a hand of demon tears and sacks of money every day, which made him lose his expectations for these tempting dark gold currencies.

As usual, most of this harvest was confiscated, leaving a box for Baron Bezos to live on.

At present, Bezos is the highest-ranking slave under his command.

The future fate of Magdam is unknown.

If he can survive this catastrophe, Chen Xuan still needs Baron Bezos to come forward in the future.

If you can't get through it, it doesn't matter if you keep money or not.

In any case, tens of millions of kroner is a lot of money there.

Putting away these cash boxes, Chen Xuan focused his attention on those items that were suspected to be antiques.

Using [Insight] to screen, I really found a few good things with magical effects.

In addition, there is a void stone the size of a steamed bun!

This thing can immediately improve Chen Xuan's carry-on storage compartment.

At present, four squares are not enough.

If there were more storage compartments, he could even bring back a tank or armored car after splicing.

Therefore, the Void Stone was definitely of great significance to Chen Xuan.

As for the other items in the treasure house, most of them are artefacts from ancient times.

After repeatedly confirming that nothing was missing, Chen Xuan left the underground secret room with those few items.

The Baron's treasury collection was not as rich as he had imagined, and there were no magic weapons.

It can be seen that Magdam City is indeed a small and remote place.

Even Baron Bezos, who was the ruler of the state city, didn't get much good.

In addition to the treasure trove, Bezos cares most about the family heirloom dragon steel sword.

It was a large, crudely shaped, but razor-sharp sword.

However, Chen Xuan didn't have much interest in the Dragon Steel Sword, he still felt that the Demon Sword [Thunder Yong] was more comfortable.

In the world of swords and sorcery, sharpness alone doesn't mean much.

However, in the golden subtitle description of [Insight], Chen Xuan found a blind spot.

【Chebman Family Legend Dragon Steel Sword】

[A sword forged from dragon steel from the legendary metal dragon devouring the essence of black iron, with excellent self-sharpening and armor-piercing ability]

[Devouring 100 kilograms of black iron, it can only digest and quench the dragon steel that forges a sword]

[The Dragon Steel Sword can cause additional damage to the scale armor of dragons and dragonborn creatures, which can counteract the suppression of dragon power to a certain extent]

……

You must know that black iron can also be used to mint coins.

Although the denomination of a single black iron coin is not high, when the number is mentioned in the 100-kilogram range, the total value is very high!

In other words, this dragon steel sword belongs to the niche and rare type.

It also deals extra damage to dragons, as it is a special metal produced by real dragons.

Naroa has dragons, Chen Xuan has always known it.

In that Naroa Grand View there is a detailed description and record of the true dragon.

And there has always been a "Dragon Lance Epic" about dragons and heroes in the continent.

However, in the last few hundred years of Naroa, there have been few records and sightings of true dragons.

There are many species of true dragons, including metal dragons, anosaurs, and five-colored dragons, as well as a variety of drapods and dracosaurs.

It is said that the True Dragon is one of the few "high-rank" races in the Endless Continent, maverick and rarely gathers in groups.

The strength of the individual increases wildly with age.

In addition, the lifespan of true dragons is generally more than three hundred naroa years.

Those who exceed this limit are called extremely old dragons.

This age range is also the last reproductive age for female dragons.

And this is still not the limit of the lifespan of a true dragon, when the age of a true dragon reaches four hundred to five hundred naroa years, it can be called an ancient dragon.

Most of the ancient dragons possessed a great deal of knowledge.

Dragons are said to have a longer lifespan, but the books don't say anything about it.

Of course, not all true dragons can live so long.

Constraints such as strife and the shackles of individual lifespan make ancient dragons extremely rare.

True dragons also have an ancient name, and that is "Star Spirit".

It is said that the earliest ancestral true dragons came from the vast starry sky.

From the illustrations in the book, Chen Xuan found that the real dragon mentioned here was basically the same as the Western dragon in the legend of Blue Star, but the classification was more specific.

There is also a paradox in that most of the books selectively ignore the fact that the continent of Naloa is now closed, and instead talk about the evolution of the whole world.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but pout, and then withdrew his attention.

Before he knew it, his mind drifted away.

In short, whether it is the current Naroa continent or the ancient Naroa world, there are many secrets waiting for him to excavate.

And the most important thing in front of him is to get through the demon disaster first.

Although Long Gangjian was very curious, after all, this was the ancestral weapon of the Chebman family, and he was not embarrassed to take it for himself.

Where can I find the dragon now?

Shaking his head, Chen Xuan returned to the study with the "loot".

As for Baron Bezos, there is still a lot to do.

Heavy ordnance needs to be deployed and distributed, and personnel movements must also be kept an eye on at all times.

In addition, according to the possible scale of the demonic plague, he was able to launch a city-wide mobilization order as a baron.

In this world where almost everyone has practiced magic essence, supernatural power has long been integrated into the lives of ordinary people.

The most typical are the mulemen, porters and laborers in the coolie mule, who basically have the level of black iron and can easily lift heavy objects equivalent to more than 3 times their own weight.

This kind of power is placed on the blue star, and that is a strong man per capita.

In the eyes of the Naroa natives, these laborers are just "inferior occupations" that dare not go out to risk hunting monsters, and can only work hard.

This is the essential difference caused by the differences in the world.

The areas of influence are multifaceted.

Most of the Naroa natives can quickly transform into warriors when necessary.

But the enemy they have to face is not a weak chicken.

When the mad monsters have a numerical advantage, that's the real disaster.

In any case, the mobilization of the whole city is imperative, even if Chen Xuan does not ask for it, Baron Bezos will do so.

Secondly, there is also a bit of good news that the continent of Naroa is full of adventurers and mercenaries.

There is basically no shortage of all kinds of weapons and baggage.

Not to mention the stock of the trading house and the armory in the city, basically everyone will have one or two things on hand.

Even most of the low-level street slumpers and adventurers spend a lot of money on weapons.

The most typical example is the kitten lady Rebecca, who was almost too poor to open the pot at that time, and there were two relatives at home who were suffering from the plague.

But she still smashed more than 300 crowns and bought a rune dagger.

On the continent of Naroa, a good weapon is one of the few heavy assets that adventurers have.

Therefore, the mobilization here is actually very high in terms of the conversion rate of civil and war warfare.

Chen Xuan had known about this for a long time.

The Demon Essence Cultivation provides the foundation for all the people to become soldiers.

When Baron Bezos left, Chen Xuan asked Ophelia to send a magical letterhead.

Later, the baron would send someone to contact her and open a large-scale purchase order for the state city.

The funds used came from the treasury of the State City Council.

What Chen Xuan had just pulled was the Baron's own small treasury, and he didn't touch the various financial funds owned by Bang Cheng.

After all, his original intention was to control sustainably, not to eat and wipe out the looting.

At present, there is a balance of 30 million or 40 million crowns in the treasury of the state city.

The taxes in the city are not heavy, but the scale of trade is not small.

In short, Bangcheng is still very rich.

There are not many oligarchs with such incredible wealth as Ansetus and Baron Bezos in the state.

And Chen Xuan's plan was for Bezos to purchase the White Rose Caravan in large quantities as a baron and archon.

The price is slightly lower than the market price, but the total amount of purchases will be in the tens of millions of crowns.

These Tears will be immediately distributed to the garrisons on the front line.

The defense line of the outlying villages of the city, as well as the garrison on the outer walls and bastions located on the third ring layer.

The total cost of tens of millions of kroner is enough to play a big role in the actual defense, after all, for these garrisons, the magic tears are just an auxiliary, an additional supplement when fighting with real swords and guns.

The Naroa aborigines are not so arrogant as to be like Chen Xuan when he cleared the caves, and the Demon Tears didn't want money to smash them.

And this is only the first measure, Chen has another set of emergency armament plans.

That is, from the Severed Fingers Gang and the coolie mules, take out those black street rats who have already made a contract, and take them to Blue Star to receive urgent training from DKBA fungus instructors.

The requirements are not high, just be able to get a pistol in two or three days!

As for combat discipline, it can be guaranteed by contract.

And combat literacy and the like, let's not mention it for the time being!

One Naroya Day is worth two Blue Star Heavens, and the threat of the Demon Calamity is no matter how urgent it is.

I can still squeeze it out in a few days.

In this way, Chen Xuan was able to use the Blue Star Firearm to cultivate a strange soldier.

Take advantage of the characteristics of various types of firearms to achieve true fire suppression on the continent of Naroa.

Light and heavy machine guns and bazookas beckoned to the monsters, and anyone who came had to bump their heads and break the bloodstream.

In fact, Blue Star and Naroa do have their own advantages and characteristics.

Naroa has a magical cultivation transcendent system that can be used by all people, and Blue Star has powerful firearms that can be mass-produced and executed in front battles, and they are all universal in their respective worlds.

When combined, the two can produce a wonderful chemical reaction.

The current arrangement is very simple, eighty percent of the garrison will be the main force, stationed in the three major circles of the city wall.

The light cavalry battalion served as a support, roaming the defensive lines inside and outside the city.

The remaining two percent of the garrison will form a mixed formation with adventurers, mercenaries, some street rats, and civilians.

Garrisoned in various defensive lines and fortresses, including the most dangerous outlying village lines.

The villages, which were scattered in close proximity to the city, were all walled with wooden walls and erected ballistas.

It is said to be a line of defense, but in fact it is full of loopholes and is not connected.

But those villages were more than enough to use as temporary war forts.

As settlements and villages outside the city continued to flock to the city, more and more men and materials were available to the city of Magdam.

A large number of men and horses are urgently reinforcing various fortifications in the outlying villages.

This includes runic reinforcement of rudimentary wooden walls, small manic shield spawning devices, and preparation of fire oil, barricades, and traps.

The whole city is in a strange frenzy of busyness.

The most idle guy is Chen Xuan.

He was going to take stock of the rest of the harvest from the Baron's Treasury before returning to the Blue Star and moving all the standard fungi to the garden clearing of the Baron's Castle.

The large open space around the castle is suitable for storing mushroom fires.

At that time, the batch of American equipment in the small courtyard of the third circle of the West District will also be transferred here for unified storage.

The Baronial Castle is the heart of the city.

And the castle itself is a kind of building with fungal features!

This is destined to be the last line of defense in Magdam.

It's no problem to store the fungus fire here.

These trivial matters are all taken care of by Baron Bezos, and after a few hours at most, he will also assist Chen Xuan to "trick" those state city lords to carry out compulsory contracts!

Chen Xuan had to arrange these things into his schedule.

It's not easy to mobilize an entire city, and it involves all kinds of issues.

When the above arrangements are completed, he will go to the temple and have another divine contract.

Chen Xuan knew this in his heart, and he had already arranged it in an orderly manner.

The more urgent the moment, the more you should be calm and not panic.

The more panicked you are, the worse you will be able to do things!

Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Chen Xuan looked at the Void Stone placed on the table.

This thing is just as much a "savings" as the Dark Gold, Mithril, and Orichalcum coins.

Such a large piece of Void Stone in the outside world can also be sold for a lot of money.

Now it's all cheap, Chen Xuan.

I saw him gently touch the body of the Void Stone with his hand.

[When you come into contact with the Void Stone, you can fuse it]

[Can be increased after current fusion (Storage compartment*13)]

……

"Tsk..."

"The Void Stone the size of a fingernail is called the 'Void Particle', and the size of a steamed bun can finally be called the 'Void Stone'."

Chen Xuan was keenly aware of the change in the title in the prompt, and couldn't help but tease in his heart.

Such a Void Stone can actually allow him to add 13 storage compartments!

After these storage compartments are spliced, it is more than enough to fit the main battle tank!

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan didn't hesitate, and chose to fuse as soon as his mind moved!

I saw that the void stone on the table turned into a gray light, and it instantly submerged into his body.

【Successful Integration】

[Storage compartment number increased by 13]

[Current storage compartment: 17]

……

Seventeen storage compartments are like little squares in the mind,

Chen Xuan can combine and match it like a Rubik's Cube to get storage space of different sizes.

It can also be split separately for storage, which is very convenient to use!
