Chapter 774 Reorganizing the Army
Adding 100,000 troops will require a huge fortune to equip them all.
Although everyone has their own magic weapon equipment, in order to coordinate in battle and give soldiers a sense of belonging, everyone must be equipped with unified equipment.
First of all, each person needs a set of armor, and the total needs to be 100,000 sets.
Based on the current market price of Fengwu Continent, the second-tier armor with the lowest quality also needs 10,000 to 20,000 low-grade spirit stones.
A second-tier armor at this price can only be regarded as an entry-level armor, and only some relatively poor casual practitioners will use it.
Wang Hong naturally would not let his army use this kind of goods.
10,000 to 20,000 low-grade spirit stones are only the lower limit of the price, but if you want to make this kind of thing well, there is no upper limit.
Make a set of Tier 2 armor with all your strength, use all kinds of good things in it, no matter how high the cost is, it is possible, but the cost performance is different.
According to the equipment standard of the existing army, each set of Tier 2 armor needs to cost 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.
One hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, worth ten middle-grade spirit stones, which is almost equivalent to a grain of foundation establishment pill.
Among the newly recruited 100,000 troops, at least 80% are foundation-building monks and second-tier warriors.
This requires at least 80,000 sets of Tier 2 armor, which requires 800,000 middle-grade spirit stones.
Give these more than 80,000 people, each equipped with at least one weapon. Depending on the nature of the arms, they can be equipped with flying swords, long spears, flying spears, bows and arrows, shields, etc.
In this way, 80,000 people will need about 800,000 middle-grade spirit stones, plus the cost of armor, a total of more than one million middle-grade spirit stones will be needed.
In the entire army, these are only a small part, and the real big ones are the high-ranking monks who only fight 20% of the total.
At the golden core stage, any ordinary magic weapon needs more than one hundred middle-grade spirit stones, and the price of magic weapon-level armor is even more expensive.
The army of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom equips Jindan monks and Tier 3 warriors with magic weapons and armor as standard. A complete set will cost 800 middle-grade spirit stones.
The higher Nascent Soul level, the cost is even higher.
So this time, in order to add 100,000 troops, only the weapons and armor equipped will cost 25 million middle-grade spirit stones.
It would be unimaginable to spend such a large sum of money at once. Last time, Wang Hong had to sell his treasures for several million middle-grade spirit stones.
With the proceeds from the sale of the giant crossbow in the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom for more than ten years, it was barely able to support the expenditure.
After everyone is equipped, the daily consumption will also be a huge expense.
This is the limit amount that Wang Hong can support after discussing with the ministers and repeatedly calculating.
In the previous 100,000 troops of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom, they had a higher proportion of high-level monks and spent more, but these 100,000 people were slowly accumulated in the previous hundreds of years.
In the earliest days, all the people of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom were soldiers, but that was when there was no other way, and they could go to the battlefield with just an inferior weapon.
Moreover, in the past, there were still low-level monks in the army, and there were very few high-level monks, so the cost was not too great.
After these recruits come back, they still need to practice for a long time, and these generals will be busy.
Moreover, the Ministry of Industry has fully activated at this time to refine equipment for these 100,000 people.
Such a large amount is not an easy task.
At the same time, in order to take care of the several forces following the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom, I specially took out a part of it and entrusted it to the various forces for refining, so that they can also get some oil and water from it.
While the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom has developed rapidly in recent years, it has not forgotten to cultivate affiliated forces.
Sects such as Qingxuzong and Taihaozong have produced many Nascent Soul monks in recent years.
Wang Hong's younger brother, Wang Yi, has been in seclusion since he got the small piece of fairy fruit that Wang Hong gave him, and he has a great hope of breaking through to becoming a god.
After dealing with the military affairs, Wang Hong and the sloppy old man went to the Mysterious Realm of Myriad Puppets together.
The woman in red is always by his side, and now he has accepted his fate in his heart for the woman in red who can't get rid of him no matter what.
However, this brought great inconvenience to his life.
Because of a beautiful woman, she was always by her side, never leaving her, making many things inconvenient for him.
For example, he has to change clothes occasionally. No matter how powerful a cultivator is, he can't really wear a piece of clothing for tens or hundreds of years.
People are standing by him a distance of one or two feet, and then he undresses alone, which is always unacceptable.
The most important thing is that he has to be careful not to touch the other party, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.
Wang Hong has always remembered what happened to those who had touched the woman in red.
Wang Hong deliberately ordered people to close all the formations guarding the Mysterious Realm of Myriad Puppets, and then walked in with the woman in red.
If the formations are not closed, he is afraid that the woman in red will destroy all the formations.
Myriad Puppet Secret Realm will be the future cash cow of Great Chu Immortal Kingdom, and Wang Hong naturally attaches great importance to the future development foundation.
Wang Hong used this time to cultivate a large number of high-level spiritual plant seedlings in the space.
The ones that Zhang Chunfeng and the others have planted before are mostly low-to-medium-level spirits, with a short maturity period and not very high value.
Myriad puppet secret realm is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a relatively hidden and independent secret realm, suitable for long-term development. He now plans to cultivate high-level spiritual creatures here.
So, he even plans to plant the high-level spiritual plants he got this time.
He has cultivated these seedlings in space for more than a hundred years this time, which can also save a lot of planting time.
Entering the Mysterious Realm of Myriad Puppets again, his brows frowned slightly. Although it is considered a treasure land, in terms of the concentration of spiritual energy, it is still a little bit worse than Qizhou Island, and compared to the fragments of the fairy world, it is even worse. .
After all, Qizhou Island concentrated most of the spiritual veins of the Hezhou mainland on that small island.
With this concentration of aura, he didn't know whether the high-level elixir obtained from the fragments of the fairy world could survive in it.
To be honest, things like spiritual veins are really not easy to buy unless you take them by force.
No one would be so prodigal and sell their own spiritual veins.
I can only try to grow some first, and then slowly find a solution later.
Wang Hong handed over all the seedlings he cultivated to Zhang Chunfeng and Sloppy Old Daoist, and asked them to arrange the planting.
As for the varieties obtained from the fragments of the fairy world, he plans to plant them himself.
It's not that he doesn't trust Zhang Chunfeng's ability to handle affairs, but mainly because planting elixir is one of his few hobbies.
Who doesn’t have any hobbies, even if he is now a high-level cultivator of the gods, he still likes to grow some spiritual plants and food.
Immortal cultivators who can truly cut off their emotions and desires are only a very small number. After all, after all desires disappear, they can only be regarded as living for the sake of living.
