Chapter 623 Support From the Wealthy King

Although Tang En didn't want to play "ship girl" in Purandal, he finally agreed to support Naga.

In any case, his main mission in this world is to confront Chaos. If he gets the news that the Gate of Chaos is opening and just sits idly by, the gods will probably not be able to bear it.

Besides, after all, Purandar is so big. If the final battlefield takes place inside the planet's atmosphere, there will definitely be a large number of Chaos armies appearing on the sea. The naval technology tree will have to be climbed sooner or later, but now it is just a little ahead of schedule.

With Purandal's current navigation technology, as long as Tang En makes some magical changes to the power and weapon systems and promotes them according to the impression in his mind, the naval strength of the Illrus Empire will instantly surpass all countries and become a well-deserved First place.

but……

Tang En knocked on the table and pondered for a moment, then said: "I can support you, but as the king, I cannot send troops for no reason."

Celisi was overjoyed when she heard that Tang En was willing to support them. She didn't care about anything else and hurriedly said: "What do you want? As long as we can do it, we will not refuse, even if you want me... "

"Stop it! I don't have that idea!"

Tang En broke out in a cold sweat. Although Naga is a humanoid creature and very beautiful, to be honest, he is not a curiosity hunter and his taste is very ordinary. He is sincerely interested in this kind of race with scales all over the body and a tail. No interest.

"I mean, since Oscar is unwilling to support you, can you terminate the trade with Ronitant and then sign a trade contract with Illrus?"

Tang En was planning to poach his brother-in-law, but Olina happened to come over at this time, looking at Tang En with a very strange look.

"Of course! I can make the decision on this matter, and I believe my mother will not refuse."

Celis agreed to Tang En's request without hesitation. It didn't matter who Naga traded with, as long as she could get food and equipment.

Oscar's rejection happened to chill Celis's heart, and Tang En, who reached out to help in time, became Celis's best trading partner.

Not to mention that Tang En and Egwen were still good friends. Even if Pertis knew about her decision, she would never say anything.

"Very good. I think Fira, the city of hundreds of tribes in our Illus Empire, is very suitable to become a comprehensive trade port. If transactions with Nagas can be carried out stably there, it will definitely become more prosperous."

Tang En is very aware of the importance of economics and trade. Just relying on his Datang Chamber of Commerce for guidance is not very effective. Only by involving the merchants of the entire Purandal can a sufficiently active economy be brought about.

Enough active economic activities can bring strong stimulation to society. Only when there is demand and profits can be made can all industries develop rapidly.

"But there is one thing I must make clear to you in advance. Although I have agreed to send troops, our Illus Empire cannot support you immediately because our warships and weapons need to be modified. I can assure you that, In a month at most, they can leave for the battlefield.”

"A month? If we had enough food, we could still survive, but now..."

Celisi's face darkened. Due to the pollution of Chaos, a large number of sea fish have stayed away from Vashj'ir. Now Naga has no food reserves. The remaining food is only enough to last for ten days, so now they are in an emergency. A food rationing system was implemented.

"How much food do you need?"

"To carry it for a month, at least half a million tons are needed, two-thirds of which must be meat. Our Naga warriors are powerful, but they also eat a lot."

Five hundred thousand tons, including three hundred thousand tons of various meats. This is not a small amount. When the dwarves of the Red Grotto spent the winter, the food gap was only 70,000 tons. Now, half a million tons is only enough for a Naga. It's a month, which shows how terrifying Naga's appetite is.

Tang En waved his hand and said very generously: "No problem, I can support you with a batch of food in advance. The corresponding payment can be deducted from our future transactions, and you can take away the food later."

With the joining of Otinia, Grandia and her team up, the quality of grain seeds has been improved again. The output of new hybrid wheat and rice has increased by a full 50% compared with the beginning. This year will definitely It will be an unprecedented harvest year.

As for meat, the most indispensable thing in Purandal is probably all kinds of meat. The fertility of the monsters here is very strong, and the babies are underground one after another. Every year, there will be an outbreak of beast tides. Adventurers, mercenaries and even hunters You can bring back a large amount of edible meat when you go out for a walk. Some of this meat is sold to taverns and residents and eaten fresh. The other part is processed into dried meat or bacon and sold to people who need to travel far away. Make dry food.

Now, due to the birth of canning technology, these meats have a new use, that is, after being steamed and cooked, they can be made into canned meat for easy preservation.

The canned meat recently launched by the Datang Chamber of Commerce is very popular among adventurers. Although the taste of the steamed canned meat is not as good as the hot fresh meat steak served in the tavern, in the wild, just light a fire and heat the canned meat. You can now eat very delicious and juicy food, which is much better than the rough barbecue before.

So now the cannery purchases a large amount of meat every day and processes it into canned meat. Due to the intensive hunting, the number of monsters around Ellington has recently decreased a lot, which can be regarded as an unexpected benefit.

High-yield seeds, coupled with a huge amount of canned meat, and half a million tons of food, although it is not a small amount, Tang En can still afford it now.

"Very good!"

Receiving unexpected help from Tang En was already a surprise, but she didn't expect that even the food problem could be solved. This made Celisis couldn't help but have some expectations: "Your Majesty Tang En, I don't know if you still have it." Can you provide us with some weapons and equipment? Although this request is a bit rude, what is embarrassing is that the weapons used by our soldiers are no longer attractive, and they are in urgent need of new weapons to replace them."

arms……

Tang En pondered for a moment. To be honest, the current production capacity of steel mills and alloy factories is limited, and Tang En does not want to sell the equipment he builds.

But Naga is now helping to fight Chaos...

"I understand, let's do this. I can provide you with a thousand sets of Ellington standard equipment, including armor, shields and weapons."

"A thousand sets is too few..."

"Don't worry, just listen to me first."

Tang En waved his hand and interrupted Celis: "These thousand sets of equipment are powerful equipment exclusively developed by Ellington. They have strong resistance to attacks by chaotic creatures and are much more powerful than ordinary armor weapons. However, We have not done corrosion resistance testing, so we don’t know how effective they are under the sea. These one thousand sets of equipment are for you to test in use.”

"Once the test passes, it proves that our weapons can maintain certain performance under the sea, and we can continue to provide you with a large number of weapons and equipment in the future."

Tang En snapped his fingers and said calmly: "Of course, our Ellington special weapons and equipment are not cheap. Fiona will communicate the price with you later. For Egwin's sake, Fiona Na, give them a friendly price."

Fiona smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take care of it."

It would not make Naga feel too expensive, but it would not make Ellington unprofitable. This required very difficult calculations to arrive at the result, but Fiona's business talent allowed her to omit this step. Her intuition could tell her A suitably accurate number.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty Tang En. From now on, you will be the eternal friend of the Naga clan. We can guarantee that the merchant ships of the Ilrus Empire under your rule will never be attacked by sea beasts at sea, and we will never have to worry about the threat of wind and waves. "

Celis and the guards beside her bowed their waists deeply, opened their arms, and made a posture of giving everything. At this moment, Tang En was equivalent to the savior of the Naga clan, and he deserved to be so. Big gift.

Tang En did not expect that helping Naga would have such benefits, but when he thought about it carefully, Naga was a people created by Anita Lyle, the goddess of water. They were born with the power to control water flow and protect ships from harm. It's also normal for storms to hit.

More importantly, after repelling the threat of Chaos, Naga will become a fixed trade partner of the Illrus Empire. Trade between the two parties can promote the development of the country and deepen exchanges with each other. Lay a good foundation for future joint operations.

As for the weapons provided to Naga, Tang En considered universal alloy armor, shields, and iron swords.

Of course, the Zantetsu Sword is a mass-produced model, not one he built manually. Although there is a gap in performance, for others, the mass-produced Zantetsu Sword is already very powerful. I didn’t look at the Black Pearl Auction House. Have you all given a rating for the legendary magic sword?

Leaving Celis and Fiona to discuss the details of the contract, Tang En returned to Ellington. It was still afternoon in Ellington and it was not yet dark.

He found Edgar, and now Edgar has essentially become the inventory supervisor.

After asking some questions, Tang En was relieved. Since the production of chain swords had only started recently, a large number of previously produced Zantetsu swords were still being thrown into the warehouse to collect dust. There was also sufficient stock of armor and shields.

Although the Nagas living underwater are more accustomed to using weapons such as tridents or harpoons, there is no time to tailor weapons for them now, so they can only get used to fighting with Zantetsu swords.

After the cooperation between the two parties deepens in the future, new weapons can be developed specifically for them.
