Chapter 1059 589: Twilight City Upgrades, War Begins [2/2]
"A total of two million alchemist"s bombs and ten thousand modified cannons."
Richard shook his head.
"Not enough, far from enough. We couldn"t know how far this war will go. These strategic reserves can only support a few battles.
"In this case, we can only transfer the workers who produce Elven Music Boxes to produce alchemist bombs."
Butler Karu looked helpless.
They had prepared for this war for months. They still hadn"t enough time.
It was arduous to produce enough materials. The lack of labor alone was enough to slow down the entire production efficiency.
Alchemy weapons were not something that ordinary people could produce.
"Tell Vale to buy a batch of gray-colored dwarves from the Solan Chamber of Commerce.
"We must increase our strategic reserves at all costs.
"This war might be even crueler than we imagined."
Karu agreed, and Richard continued.
"We can"t stop building the archer towers.
"I need to see a trample every 20 meters.
"There aren"t enough archers. I"ll recruit them from the lair.
"We also need to increase the production of top-grade heavy crossbows like the Dragon-hunting Crossbow."
Richard paused for a moment to give Karu some time to digest the information before he continued.
"We need to speed up the construction of Eternal City.
"This place will be our last retreat."
"Go to Bloodhoof City if you lack laborers. Look for Tundel. I need to see the completed Eternal City framework in a month. I want to use it for war!"
Karu sighed.
"My Lord, we will need excessive resources."
It would be a bottomless pit for the production of weapons or the construction of cities. The resources wouldn"t be enough, no matter how many there were.
"We can split the profits of Mountain Range City."
"We could consume enough for a short period with this wave of resources."
Mountain Range was now a well-deserved trading center for players and even the world"s transit center.
Richard"s replicated his method, although he opened 20 or 30 new planes recently.
However, the main characters who opened these planes had no appeal, and the most crucial thing was the two-way teleportation gates spread all over the Mortal Plane.
Therefore, they had only attracted a few players.
Ell was still the first choice for all players.
The ma.s.sive flow of people brought unprecedented income.
The lease of goods, various taxes, and commissions from commodity trading centers were his money-making activities. The Mountain Ridge City was a well-deserved money-making machine.
He had spent 70% of his profits to bind more than 3,000 player guilds for a bigger plan. But even so, he could still monopolize 30%.
Karu knew this was a generous fortune as the manager of the Ell Players a.s.sociation.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart.
"Lord, according to the settlement from the day before yesterday, including the rental income, Mountain Ridge City has earned 2 billion units of rare resources.
"We can get more than 600 million units!"
That was 600 million units!
Master Karu trembled when he said that.
That wouldn"t be much in the future, although more than half of this was due to the income from renting goods from outsiders.
However, this income alone was enough to drive him crazy.
He would never have thought that he could use such a method to earn such crazy wealth in such a short time.
"What a pity. If this 2 billion was ours…"
Master Karu heaved a long sigh. He felt regretful.
Richard smiled.
"It might not be 2 billion if we take all of it. It could not even be one-tenth."
How could he get them to partic.i.p.ate if he didn"t bind the player guilds with benefits?
He couldn"t bring everyone to Ell Plane without the two-way portal that connected all the places in the Mortal Plane, no matter how capable he was.
It seemed like he had paid a vast price. But this 30% of the profits far exceeded the undivided 100%!
Soon, Karu sent Richard"s order to divide the loot to the Ell Players a.s.sociation.
Everyone divided the ridiculous profit.
They distributed the 1.4 billion resources to over 3,000 guilds. Each guild would only get a few million units.
However, this was already a considerable amount of income for most guilds.
Moreover, it was unnecessary to pay a high price for this kind of income. More importantly, they could get this kind of income every month as long as the Ell Plane was still there and they were still members of the Ell Player a.s.sociation.
Richard retrieved a ridiculous amount of resources from the Ell Players "a.s.sociation. He did not hesitate to exchange them for various supplies.
Military supplies like alchemy bombs, siege crossbows, and arrow towers increased like a tidal wave.
The strategic reserves of Twilight City quickly increased.
The G.o.ds sent troops that launched an attack on the Crimson Moon under such an environment.
An unprecedented epic battle erupted.
The entire world watched.
