The first thing Li Mochen began to study were the sacred weapons he had seized in this battle.
Excluding the ones Robert had snatched from the Vine Saint, there were a total of 27 of them. Among them, there were two level 3 Sacred-tier sniper rifles and one level 2 Sacred-tier sniper rifles. Next were two level 2 Sacred-tier semi-automatic rifles and two level 2 Sacred-tier pistols. All of them were extremely powerful firearms.
Although magic professionals in this world were increasingly fond of using firearms, be it close combat or ranged combat, Sacred weapons were still very rare. However, Sacred-level guns were still very rare. Firstly, it was much more difficult to make them than other weapons. Secondly, there was not much accumulation of them. Firearms had not been popular for more than a thousand years. They had even experienced the era of gunpowder guns and flintlock guns. Therefore, the number of Sacred-level weapons that had been passed down was relatively small.
Therefore, the total value of these seven guns exceeded the total value of the other Sacred weapons.
There were also various weapons, such as shields, armor, and so on, between Level 2 and Level 3. None of the Legendary experts who participated in the Tomahawk Pirates' operation were poor, but they were not very rich either.
Li Mochen estimated that the total value of these things should be around 8 billion gold duns, but he would not sell them.
Equipment at the Sacred level was already hard to come by, and it was very difficult to see it on the market. Rather than fighting to buy it in the future, it was better to keep it for the future.
If these things were used to equip his subordinates, it would be enough to increase the combat power of his subordinates by several times, and he would have several Quasi-Legends.
However, there was no reward for no service. None of the few armed forces under his command had done anything worthy of a Sacred weapon.
Li Mochen could also copy Lee Tae-lai's example and let his subordinates borrow money from him. The problem was that people like Michael Wood, Howard Eisenhower, and the others had only recently been bestowed the Tear of Amphitrite and similar miraculous medicines.
Li Mochen could not let these people think that they did not need to do anything to get benefits from their boss. He was not a fool.
Therefore, Li Mochen was prepared to firmly carry on the war between him and the Dragon Witch Cult. He looked forward to his subordinates being tempered and making new achievements. At the same time, he was also inspecting and training new subordinates.
It must be mentioned that after Li Mochen destroyed the Tomahawk Pirates and defeated the Vine Saint Roland Benedict, the security departments of his companies received many job applications.
The ironic thing was that Li Mochen had waved the check and wanted to ask a high-level Extra-legal One to join him, but he failed. But now that so many powerhouses who were on par with Howard Eisenhower wanted to join him, Li Mochen did not dare to easily agree.
The intelligence department of the Xuri Company was already in full operation. In addition, Li Mochen also used allies such as the Wildenstein Group, Michelle Group, and even the Light and Magic Industries, to carefully select candidates from those job applicants.
But even so, the security forces under his command had still expanded more than three times in a short period of time.
This was no longer for the war with the Dragon Witch Cult. In fact, just a few days after Roland's fiasco, the industries and criminal groups of the Dragon Witch Cult in Georgia and Florence had been in a mess under the attack of Major General Michael Wood.
But Li Mochen continued to recruit manpower. He deeply agreed with Anthony's proposal and was ready to enter the World of Darkness after the ship group and the Anatolian route had stabilized. And before that, he was going to build a heavy armored brigade.
But after doing some research, he decisively gave up. This was because a heavy armored brigade would require five thousand magic-adepts of Level Seven and above, two thousand support personnel, and corresponding equipment. In addition, they would also need to be equipped with sixty main battle tanks, sixty armored combat vehicles, fifty self-propelled cannons, and various other heavy equipment. The total expenses in all aspects added up to more than ten billion gold duns, and the annual maintenance cost reached more than two billion.
It was true that Li Mochen was a millionaire with a net worth of forty to fifty billion, but that was only assets. The income they brought him every year was only a little more than two billion, or maybe even less.
So in the end, Li Mochen shrank his army plan to a regiment and first set up a regiment of regular armored troops in the World of Darkness.
And now, he had only recruited half of the people.
"Ammo, it's time for you to recruit a decent intelligence director. I admit that Jamili may have some ability, but he can't meet your needs. "
In the laboratory of the Magic Tower of the Home of Death, Anthony casually handed a large stack of documents to Li Mochen, whose consciousness was attached to another clone, who was studying a rune array.
"You can't always rely on us, can you?"
"I'm looking, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the one I want. Ms. Drew is very suitable, but unfortunately, her ambition is not here. Or, Anthony, can you introduce me to someone? "
When Li Mochen raised his head, he saw that the richest man on the opposite side had already obediently shut his mouth. He shook his head slightly and used a teleportation spell to send the information to Lind Ames, who was ten thousand kilometers away.
The Sea of Calamity could block all forms of communication in the form of radio waves, but it could not cut off the magical connection between him and Lind Ames. For experts like them, the Sea of Calamity was no obstacle.
Li Mochen had now delegated the recruitment of magic professionals below level-twelve to Lind Ames. The latter was temporarily appointed as the personnel director of the security department, in charge of the recruitment of magic professionals.
As a retainer who shared honor and disgrace with him, Lind's reliability was beyond doubt. Although the Legendary Lich's ability to recognize people was not up to standard, his calmness and rationality allowed him to maintain above-standard judgment in the recruitment work — for Li Mochen, that was enough.
"On the other hand, there's some progress on the level-five Legendary Warrior I needed before. I might be able to sign him in a few days."
When Li Mochen said this, Anthony could not help but look curious. However, the former then changed the topic. "I'm almost done here, Anthony, what about your part?"
What Li Mochen was referring to was the unique artifact that he had proposed for a certain lady.
Two days ago, Anthony had preliminarily completed the assembly of the Light Demon No. 8. Now it was left outside the Magic Tower for all kinds of rigorous tests.
Taking advantage of this rare free time, the two decided to implement the capture plan that Li Mochen had designed and fiddled with that artifact.
"It's long been done."
Anthony waved his hand and sent a few blueprints to Li Mochen. "Next is the overall calculation and finding bugs. Now, show me the one you're in charge of."
He still did not trust Li Mochen's standard in the layout of magic runes, but to his surprise, when Li Mochen's part of the blueprints was sent to him, Anthony could not find any obvious mistakes at first glance.
Anthony could not help but look at him in surprise, thinking that this guy's learning ability was so strong that it was already close to the level of a Guru.
