After setting up the teleportation formation, Ouyang Shuo looked at the teleportation fees.
The teleportation fee for the battle map was one gold coin per person. The teleportation fee between territories was one gold coin per person during times of war and ten gold coins per person during times of war. The additional teleportation fee was twenty gold coins per person.
All of these fees were for one-way teleportation. In other words, if one wanted to visit an ally, the teleportation fee would be twenty gold coins per person.
All of these teleportation fees would be collected by the system, and the lord wouldn't get a single cent. Of course, there was nothing to complain about. After all, even the teleportation formation was built by the system for free.
"System prompt: Please select the method of payment for teleportation fees!"
As mentioned earlier, the teleportation formation charged both ways. It was just like express delivery in the real world. One could choose whether the sender or the receiver would pay for the delivery fee.
There was nothing much to say about the teleportation fees for the battle map. Ouyang Shuo chose to pay for the teleportation fees between territories during times of war and for the return trip during times of war. As for the additional teleportation fees, since it was a one-way teleportation, it would naturally be paid for by the town as well.
With the town's financial resources, Ouyang Shuo could choose to pay for all teleportation fees. However, as the leader of the Mountain and Sea Alliance, he couldn't do that. He had to consider the feelings of his other allies.
The setting of the teleportation fees would undoubtedly become a benchmark for the other allies.
If Ouyang Shuo relied on his financial resources to be a good person, then the other allies would definitely follow suit and pay for the teleportation fees for their allies. Otherwise, they would be looked down upon. These fees might not be much for the town, but they could become a financial burden for the other lords. This was something that he didn't want to see happen.
Therefore, as a lord, especially the leader of the alliance, he had to understand the meaning behind the saying, "Going too far is as bad as not going far enough". Otherwise, it was very likely that he would end up doing something bad out of good intentions.
After setting up the teleportation fees, Ouyang Shuo heard another system prompt.
"System prompt: Please select the troops to participate in the first battle. Description: The number of troops a lord can lead is directly related to his title. A third-rank viscount can lead up to 100 troops, a second-rank viscount can lead up to 200, and a first-rank viscount can lead up to 300. A third-rank earl can lead up to 500 troops, a second-rank earl can lead up to 1,000, and a first-rank earl can lead up to 3,000. A third-rank marquis can lead up to 10,000 troops, a second-rank marquis can lead up to 20,000, and a first-rank marquis can lead up to 50,000. The Duke does not have a limit on the number of soldiers he can bring. He can freely choose the number of soldiers he wants. "
Ouyang Shuo was now a second-rank Earl. In other words, he could bring a thousand soldiers into battle. Including the naval battalion that was about to expand, the regular army of Shanhai Town had already reached a scale of 4,000 people. He still had to discuss with Ge Hongliang which troops to bring to the battle.
After leaving the teleportation formation, Ouyang Shuo sent a messenger pigeon to the four allies of the Mountainsea Alliance, inviting them to gather in Mountainsea Town the next morning to discuss important matters.
To be honest, it was difficult for Ouyang Shuo to make such a decision. This way, it would be equivalent to completely exposing the Mountain Sea Town to their allies, completely unveiling the mysterious veil of the Mountain Sea Town.
However, as the leader of the alliance, Ouyang Shuo felt that he had to shoulder this responsibility. That was the only way to truly establish mutual trust between the allies and bring everyone together as one.
After returning to the Lord's Mansion, Ouyang Shuo summoned the four chiefs to prepare for the first meeting of the Tianshan Sea Alliance tomorrow. Since it was a gathering, there was naturally no lack of sightseeing.
Although they were allies, what could be seen, what couldn't be seen, and to what extent could be seen, these were all things that needed to be arranged in advance.
…
Consonance Town, conference hall.
"Alliance Master Wuyi has invited us to Shanhai Town tomorrow to discuss the war. Which one of you wants to go with me? Let me say this first, Qingyi must accompany me. "Bai Hua looked around and said.
Cyan Yi nodded and remained silent.
Violet chuckled and said, "I didn't expect him to allow us to visit Shanhai Town so generously. I don't want to miss such a lively event."
"What? What's there to see? Aren't territories all the same? I'm not going." Red Eagle said.
Bai Hua nodded and said, "Alright, we'll let Hong Ying guard the house. The three of us will go to Shanhai Town tomorrow."
…
Mulan Town. Mayor's office.
"Sister, come with me to Shanhai Town tomorrow," Mu Lanyue said with a smile.
Mu Guiying looked at Mu Lanyue dotingly and said, "What, you don't dare to go alone?"
Mulan Lanyue nodded and said innocently, "Yes, what if that Wei Yue Wuyi is a big bad guy? I'll only be at ease if Big Sister is with me."
"Alright, I'll go with you."
…
Similar conversations were happening in Dragon Seeking Town and Black Lion Town.
…
Shanhai Town, Council Chamber.
"Everyone, you already know about the teleportation array that appeared in the square, right?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"Yes. Does the Lord know what's going on? "Fan Zhongyan asked.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and explained about the teleportation array and the battle map. He then said, "This Zhuolu battle is of utmost importance to us. We cannot afford to lose. What does the military office think of the troops participating in the battle? "
Ge Hongliang pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, this is a land battle. The Navy Camp will definitely not be of use. In addition, the situation with the nomadic tribes has been unstable recently. The Cavalry Camp has great responsibility and should not be moved lightly. Therefore, I suggest that the troops participating in the battle should be mainly infantry, with cavalry as support. Among the infantry, the archers should be prioritized. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Sir is right. Thus, this is how the troops will be assembled. From the three City Defense Camps, two archer platoons and three crossbowman platoons will be deployed as the main offensive force. From the infantry camp, three infantry platoons will be deployed. One of the platoons will be equipped with infantry armor to act as the frontline defense force. Finally, two cavalry platoons will be deployed from the Cavalry Camp to provide support. In addition, a reconnaissance team will be deployed from the Military Intelligence Division to accompany the troops. The specific coordination of the troops will be handled by the military office and the various battalions. "
"Understood!" Ge Hongliang agreed and asked, "Sir, how should we arrange the generals for this battle?"
Which general to assign to the expedition was a sensitive issue. With Ge Hongliang's qualifications, he did not dare to make the decision on his own. Even the two intermediate generals, Lin Yi and Pei Donglai, were on par with Ge Hongliang in terms of qualifications and ability, not to mention a special-class general like Shi Wansui.
Ouyang Shuo pondered for a moment and said, "I will personally lead this battle. Commander Ge will be the strategist. As for the other generals, among the infantry, Shi Wansui will be the main general and Zhao Sihu will be his deputy. Among the cavalry, Lin Yi will be the main general and there will be no deputy. As for the Military Intelligence Division, Song San will personally take charge. " Because the battle was a situational mission, the flow of time was not the same as the main map, so Ouyang Shuo did not specifically arrange for the defense of the city.
Ge Hongliang nodded and did not comment.
"After the meeting, the Military Office will gather all the troops together as soon as possible and conduct joint training. Also, the Combat Division, Armor Division, and Crossbow Division will be responsible for the logistics, "Ouyang Shuo ordered.
"Understood," Ge Hongliang said.
After the discussion, Ouyang Shuo continued, "Tomorrow morning, there will be a group of guests visiting our Shanhai Town. These people are our allies. "
"How do you plan to receive them, Big Brother?" Ying You asked.
"Tomorrow's itinerary, I want to arrange it like this. First, there will be a simple welcoming ceremony at the portal. After that, there will be a formal alliance ceremony. After that, we will bring them to Shanhai Town for a tour. The tour will be limited to the headquarters. Finally, there will be a meeting in the conference hall to discuss the battle, "Ouyang Shuo said.
The four commanders' expressions changed. This itinerary was not simple at all.
"Time is tight, and the mission is heavy. Here, I do a simple division of labor. There is no need to prepare for the welcoming ceremony, just follow me to welcome them. Mr. Sheng Jiaoyang will be in charge of the alliance ceremony, and the Supplies Department will cooperate. The only requirement is that it must be grand and grand. As for the tour, except for the military zone, there will be no restricted areas. Everything will be open to our allies. The Military Office will be in charge of the preparation for the final meeting, "Ouyang Shuo said with a smile.
"Yes!" Those who were called responded one after another.
"Take this opportunity, the Military Office will arrange a simple military review. The target of the review will be the one thousand soldiers who will be going to war this time. Take this opportunity to show our allies our weapons and equipment. The Finance Department will need to be prepared, we might need to discuss the price of various equipment with them, "Ouyang Shuo suddenly thought, why not take this opportunity to start the military arms business in Shanhai Town?
Ge Hongliang immediately agreed, but Ying You was a little hesitant. Born in a merchant family, she was not sensitive to the price of various weapons and equipment, so she asked directly, "Big Brother, do you have a price in mind?"
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "In terms of armor, the Radiant Armor is not for sale, so let's not talk about it for now. The Infantry Armor set is 25 gold coins. In terms of weapons, a Tang Sword is 5 gold coins, a longbow or horn bow is 10 gold coins, and a Divine Armed Crossbow is 15 gold coins. " Ouyang Shuo's price was not considered from the perspective of cost, but based on the market's supply and demand.
With Ouyang Shuo's explanation, Ying You knew what to do, so she said with a smile, "Alright, Big Brother, don't worry and leave it to the Finance Department. I guarantee that the mission will be completed."
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "There is one more thing. The Finance Department will hand over the gold from the Moon Wolf Mountain Mine in advance to raise some funds. The funds in my hands have dried up. "
"Yes!" Ying You nodded and said.
