Chapter 129 Rich is willful
Although Admiral Dai Lin's lavish spending is similar to Zhang Weidao's purchase of the goblin harvester, it is fundamentally different. Zhang Weidao used the goblin harvester to harvest crops, and after harvesting the grain, he could sell it.
It’s a long-term business where money begets money.
Admiral Dailin's business is different. He bought rockets to bomb the orcs. This is completely wasted, or he is using money to buy other people's lives!
Sure enough, the money that Zhang Weidao got by cutting off the orcs was like a nouveau riche at best. The Kingdom of Stormwind had transferred its assets long before the city was broken, and the remaining assets worth tens or millions of dollars were not taken away. For a wealthy man,
For the Kingdom, it is just drizzle.
Zhang Weidao always thought that he was already a very rich man since he robbed the orc defenders and obtained a large amount of property. He also had a large granary that continuously generated money.
This time, Admiral Dai Lin didn't blink an eyelid and just spent nearly 100,000 gold coins. You can imagine how rich they are.
No! We have to sell something good! Zhang Weidao looked at General Dai Lin who looked like he was not short of money, and immediately decided to try harder. "Admiral, look at the killing machine above your head!"
Zhang Weidao asked General Dai Lin to look at the close-range anti-cannon overhead, and at the same time called the engineer to control the 1130 close-in anti-cannon to straf the woods.
The buzzing sound produced by the motor when the close-in defense gun was started made Admiral Dailin keenly feel that something was wrong, and he quickly left from under the gun barrel. As soon as his front feet left the place, a waterfall of bullet casings was scattered on the ground.
Looking at the barrel of the gun whirring with orange-red flames, Admiral Dai Lin was frightened. He was almost drowned by a pile of bullet casings!
Before he could settle the score with Zhang Weidao, he saw Zhang Weidao pointing to the island in front of him.
I saw the lush woods on the island in the distance, and at this time, as the fire line moved, pieces began to collapse.
This astonishing scene instantly attracted Admiral Dai Lin's attention, and he had no intention of pursuing the matter that was almost tricked by Zhang Weidao.
Judging from the surface power, this kind of blow is no stronger than a spell. But for a fleet that drifts on the sea all year round, this kind of power is very important.
Very few spellcasters are willing to serve on the ship. Even among the sea priests who have a deep relationship with the Admiralty, only a small number of them are willing to go out to sea with the ship. Even the sea priests who believe in the sea are just pampered priests after all.
Faith cannot allow them to endure the pain of wandering.
At first, Zhang Weidao always thought that the Haixian priests were water shamans, thinking that they would be very hardworking, and wanted to see if he could ask them to teach water spells. However, after communicating with Admiral Dai Lin, he discovered that he was
A group of priests who believe in the sea, but they don't believe in the spirit of the water element at all.
The fleet lacks the help and protection of spellcasters, so the demand for engineering weapons is naturally greater. Admiral Dai Lin naturally attaches great importance to this kind of weapon that can be used for both air defense and sea defense. Although he has not encountered many aerial weapons for the time being,
Attack, but with this rotating barrel gun, those bulky giant crossbows can be perfectly removed.
Admiral Dai Lin immediately agreed, "This rotating cannon will definitely be useful against those flying monsters!"
"I'll go back and do some statistics to see how many warships are suitable for modification. Each suitable warship must have at least one."
Sure enough, rich people are willful, and they need to relax the pace of procurement! This close-in defense gun is exaggerated. Once it is fired, the ammunition will be like running water, and it will shoot out silver coins one after another!
Thinking that he would provide Admiral Dai Lin with a lot of ammunition in the future, Zhang Weidao came up with the idea of building a base here, otherwise it would be too troublesome to transport it from the Western Wilderness.
"Admiral, if we occupy a small area here and use it exclusively to replenish ammunition consumption, will there be any trouble?"
Zhang Weidao couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he directly asked Admiral Dai Lin, an old man.
Admiral Dai Lin, who is well-informed, is naturally very clear about the situation in the surrounding areas. Unlike Zhang Weidao, who is a dabbler, he only knows some general historical events.
"As for the nearby areas, the Hillsbrad Hills area where Nanhai Town is located is definitely out of reach."
"How about you go to the Kingdom of Alterac? The cold mountains are rich in minerals, which is very suitable for you to open a base there."
"The most important thing is that the Kingdom of Alterac is very weak and does not have much control over the surrounding areas."
After listening to Admiral Dai Lin's advice, Zhang Weidao still sympathized with the Kingdom of Alterac. Although he knew that the Kingdom of Alterac would eventually betray the Alliance because he knew the direction of the timeline. But nothing has happened yet. As a result,
The surrounding friendly countries actually came up with such a bad idea. They were inciting Zhang Weidao to poach Alterac!
"Isn't this too much? This is stealing the resources of the Kingdom of Alterac!"
Zhang Weidao is a little worried. After all, the Kingdom of Alterac has not betrayed yet. What if there is a dispute?
At this time, Sir Lothar, who had been waiting for a long time next to him, also came in and said, "It's okay! The king of Alterac is very ignorant, and he didn't send many troops to join the coalition this time."
"Yeah, let's go ahead and do it! Digging into their resources can be regarded as a contribution to the coalition."
The two bosses agreed to establish the Kingdom of Alterac, so Zhang Weidao naturally would not refuse. Besides, he had such intention in the first place, so why did the Kingdom of Alterac become a soft persimmon?
After returning home, we need to plan carefully and quickly implement the sub-base, so that it can be put into production before the orcs cross the sea.
Taking one last look at the devastated beach, Zhang Weidao ordered the Tianshu to return to Nanhai Town.
The giant ship slowly turned its bow and began to speed up in the direction of Nanhai Town. Nothing happened on the way back. The three unscrupulous people, old, middle and young, began to study the map and plan where to start in the Alterac Mountains.
If King Perenolde of Alterac knew that the topographic map he handed over to Sir Lothar was being studied by three unscrupulous guys about where to start to better mine his family's minerals, he would probably
He was so angry that he died on the spot.
But this cannot be blamed on others. This King Reynold is indeed too stingy. Even Sir Lothar, an old hero, has become popular. This is a typical example of the right person getting more help and the wrong person getting less help.
Soon the battleship Tianshu returned to the port. After re-berthing, everyone got off the battleship and walked towards Nanhai Town, where the carnival was still going on.
Zhang Weidao did not expect that what he originally just took out the orc ears to show off his achievements would turn into a celebratory dance. However, the elimination of so many orcs really stimulated everyone's hearts.
Orcs are not weeds in the ground that can be pulled out in large numbers at will. In the minds of the people of Stormwind Kingdom, these guys are green death frenzy, leaving no grass behind in their path!
Even Sir Lothar, a battle-hardened veteran, was shocked when he saw Zhang Weidao casually pulling the orcs' ears. When did orcs become able to be harvested casually? And they were still so casually using sacks.
To hold these evidences of glory!
This was undoubtedly a big blow to the Stormwind Kingdom troops who had fought hard against the orcs! They fought tooth and nail against the orcs, but in the end they didn't kill as many as the irregular legions. This was really shocking.
