Tang En's words stunned Testero. How did this guy's role change again?
He was just a mercenary leader, and in the blink of an eye, he became a salesman in civil engineering?
But what he said …
Testero couldn't help but ask, "How long will it take to rebuild the capital nearby?"
Tang En raised a finger.
Ravitz said disdainfully, "Ten years? That's too long! Our people only need half the time. Your Majesty Testero, if you want, you can choose the partner recommended by our Star Diamond Bank! "
Tang En shook his head.
Testero was shocked, "One year!? So fast!? "
To be able to build a city of that scale in a year, this speed was simply godly! Looking at the large cities in Prandal, which one of them didn't take decades or centuries to build — except for the cities with Mages.
Tang En smiled and said, "You're still too conservative."
"Could it be … one month!? How is that possible!? "
Testero looked at Tang En in disbelief, "Unless a large number of Mages join, but the Mages now —"
Although he was a Mage, he couldn't do such a thing with his status. A King, and a Mage at that, building a house, wouldn't it be shameful if word got out?
At least, Testero knew that he wouldn't do such a thing.
Angus, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Lord Tang En has incorporated a lot of wild Mages, and the Mages of the City of Silver can be used at any time."
"Really!?"
Angus' words immediately made Testero's heart burn. If that was the case, then he could cooperate with Tang En!
Rebuilding the Royal City in a short month could save the citizens of Bul-Kathos from being homeless in the shortest time possible. At the same time, he could also save his support and reputation that was on the verge of collapse.
"You're still too young and don't have any ideas. If it really took that long, how could I talk to you about cooperation? My people don't have that much time to waste here, and I don't need the City of Silver's foreign aid."
Twain shook his head and said, "One week, at most one week's time, and I can give you a brand-new Royal City. Not only can it accommodate a million people, but the planning is also reasonable, and the design concept is definitely ahead of Plandal."
"One week!?"
Both Testero and Ravitz cried out in alarm.
One week to build a capital that could accommodate a million people and expand in the future!?
How was that possible!
Even with Mages joining the construction, it was absolutely impossible to complete such a huge project of a week!
He was definitely boasting!
This was something that was absolutely impossible to achieve!
Not only the two of them, but even Angus and Clotho were a little surprised, because what Tang En said was really amazing.
It was true that the construction efficiency of the dwarven construction team was very high, and with the help of the wild Mages, the construction efficiency could be further improved. But after all, the amount of work was still there. It was impossible to build a city that could accommodate a million people in a week!
"You're lying!"
Ravitz screamed, "This is simply impossible! Do you think you're a god!? "
For the atheist goblin to use a god as an analogy, it could be seen how much of an impact Tang En's words had on him.
"Whether I'm lying or not, you'll know once you see the facts."
Tang En looked indifferent, "I'm just talking about cooperation with His Majesty Testero. If he doesn't want to cooperate, I won't force him —"
Before Tang En could finish speaking, Testero decisively said, "I agree!"
"Oh?"
Tang En smiled, "You agreed without hearing the specific conditions, and you don't regret it?"
"Now, the food for a million people is giving me a headache. If you can solve the problem that I can't solve, then I'll continue to talk to you about the next construction assistance project."
Testero's IQ came online at this moment. He did not immediately agree to Tang En's request. Instead, he threw him a rather realistic question. Not only could he see part of his strength, but he could also give himself some time to think about Tang En's deeper intentions.
Tang En nodded and said, "In that case, no more nonsense. I'll be right back … Clotho, Angus, I'll leave this place to you for the time being. Monitor from the sky and assist the Red Lotus Knights and the guards of Bul-Kathos to maintain order. Don't let the refugees become restless."
"Understood."
Tang En instantly tore through space and disappeared.
"Your Majesty, do you believe he can do it?"
Ravitz questioned Testero's decision to his face, "There's no need to doubt, he must be bragging. No one in this world can do that kind of thing except gods."
Sharp Tooth said faintly, "If it's really a god, it won't take a week."
Ravitz was anxious, "Master Sharp Tooth, you don't think he can really do it, do you?"
"Anyway, it's not like it costs money to try."
Sharp Tooth shrugged, "Didn't he say he could buy it on credit?"
Ravitz was even more anxious.
Why was he so anxious?
Wasn't it obvious? If they could get Tang En's confidence out of these people, they would be able to estimate the possibility of the project's success. At the same time, they would be able to calculate the profits involved. If they could really do it, it would mean that the Star Diamond Bank would be able to easily lend Testero a loan. After Testero repaid Tang En's transaction fee, he would be able to slowly work for the Star Diamond Bank to earn back the interest.
Was there a more stable way to earn money than lending to the king of a country? As long as the country didn't collapse, there was no need to worry about losing money.
But the most important thing now was that these people didn't say the key information. No one knew why Tang En was so confident.
Well, the support of Jean and the City of Silver might be one of the trump cards, but he just said that he didn't need the help of the City of Silver!
This made it impossible for Ravitz to evaluate Tang En's strength. The risk of uncertainty was too great. How could he dare to invest?
Just a short while later, Tang En appeared again, but this time, he brought a group of people with him. The people in cloaks all seemed to be mages.
These mages were all flying in the sky.
Testero opened his mouth wide and looked absent-minded, "More than fifty gold rank or even gold rank mages!?"
Flight was a level 4 spell. Wouldn't those who mastered level 4 spells be gold rank mages?
"No, some of them are silver rank mages."
Angus shook his head and said, "It's just that they are wearing cloaks with permanent Flight."
"Heng, Heng Heng's flying cloak!? And so many of them!? "
This time, even Ravitz was envious. Magic equipment with permanent Flight was very popular, and it could often be auctioned for a delightful price in the auction house. On one hand, it was because everyone had the desire to fly freely, and on the other hand, it was because of the huge role of flying in adventures and battles.
More importantly, magic cloaks with permanent Flight could even be used by goblins.
How could Ravitz not be envious of so many magic cloaks with permanent Flight appearing all of a sudden?
Even if he usually had the opportunity to take the special delivery service of the Dragons Observer, flying freely was flying freely!
Under Ravitz's envious gaze, the cloaked rogue mages quickly dispersed and found the patrol leaders of each area. After whispering a few words, a small mountain of canned food appeared in the open space next to them!
The canned food had been brought here by the merchants a long time ago. Although it was rare, it was not particularly rare, but such a large number of canned food was rare.
What was even more shocking was …
Testero and Ravitz cried out in surprise, "Spatial equipment?!"
Even Sharp Tooth exclaimed, "And everyone has one!?"
Klotto curled his lips in disdain and said, "You're making a fuss over nothing."
Space equipment was indeed not rare in Ellington now. Tang En used the astral crystals on hand to make a lot of space equipment in his spare time, such as rings, bracers, pockets, necklaces, and so on.
Anyone who performed well and became a member of the management could get a space equipment. Although some people got a smaller space inside the space equipment, as long as they continued to make contributions, they could get a space equipment with a larger capacity.
The ten people with the best performance each year could get a space ring personally made and enchanted by Tang En, which could almost be a symbol of status. This had become one of the important reasons for the people in Ellington to strive for a better position.
After the appearance of the small mountain of canned food, piles of oak barrels appeared immediately after, filled with delicious ale and a lot of smoked meat.
This food was enough for these refugees to get through the most difficult first day. Tomorrow, more food would be delivered one after another.
For Tang En's plan to take over Bul-Kathos, Fiona mobilized the power of the Datang Chamber of Commerce in the entire Irus Empire. Without affecting the price of food, they mobilized all the redundant food stocks from all over the country.
After the food was delivered, the patrols and knights immediately got busy. A large amount of food, drinking water, and beer were moved out. After the unconscious Orcs woke up one after another, they began to ration food according to wartime regulations.
At this time, Tang En came in front of Testero with a faint smile and said meaningfully, "The food for the first day has been arranged, so can we start discussing the construction?"
"Of course!"
Testero did not hesitate to agree to Tang En's request.
Now, whoever could help him in this emergency would be the boss. As for the sinister intentions behind this … who cares!
As the saying goes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who wear shoes. In any case, the Ryan Empire was poor, so there was no need to be afraid of Testero's schemes.
