Chapter 1414 Wang Buzhi, Arrangements (2)
He was bandaged, and there was a fatigued look on his face.
In the last battle, in the last moment of crisis, the forgers of the Huaxia Pavilion had all gone into battle to kill enemies.
Shi Songtao had been at the front.
He had been very lucky and had only suffered some minor injuries.
Some unlucky forgers who encountered powerful enemies lost their lives on the battlefield.
But under the protection of the heavenly soldiers, the Huaxia Pavilion\'s forgers didn\'t suffer many casualties.
At least compared to the regular army, they were considered very good.
"Your Highness, the warehouse of the Huaxia Pavilion is empty," Shi Songtao whispered. "The final payment for the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom…"
Shi Songtao was the deputy pavilion master of the Huaxia Pavilion and Zhou Shu\'s deputy. He usually handled the chores of the Huaxia Pavilion.
Shi Songtao knew very well how much Zhou Shu had paid to hire an army of 10,000 soldiers from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.
The 10,000 connate divine weapons he had paid previously were only a down payment.
Now that the war was over, they still had to pay the remaining balance, which was equivalent to tens of thousands of connate divine weapons.
Even when the Huaxia Pavilion was at its richest, they couldn\'t produce tens of thousands of connate divine weapons.
Furthermore, in order to resist the invasion of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, the warehouse of the Huaxia Pavilion had already been exhausted.
After all, in a battle, there would be the loss of weapons. At the time, the Huaxia Pavilion had provided weapons to the army at all costs.
Shi Songtao looked around before lowering his voice. "Do you want me to discuss it with the emperors of the Ten Nations and get them to transfer some forging materials from the national treasuries?"
He didn\'t want Lin Kedi and his mercenaries to hear that the Huaxia Pavilion couldn\'t fork out the rest.
If they knew the truth, the human race wouldn\'t be able to withstand the 10,000 mercenaries causing a scene.
"There\'s no need." Zhou Shu shook his head. "The war has just ended, and the various nations suffered significant damage as well. They won\'t be able to produce anything."
In order to resist the invasion of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, the entire human race had done their best.
There were many casualties from all the nations.
Moreover, now that the war was over, the various nations were facing the problem of compensation. The pressure was enormous.
After all, countless humans had died in this war. They had to compensate the families of those heroes who had died in battle.
"Your Highness, what should we do?" Shi Songtao said worriedly. "Although Lin Kedi and his mercenaries look obedient now, if we break our promise, they might do something."
Shi Songtao had never trusted these mercenaries, although they had also been very brave in the previous battles.
"They won\'t." Zhou Shu smiled. "Lin Kedi isn\'t that kind of person."
"Your Highness, you can\'t judge a book by its cover. You\'re too kind-hearted!" Shi Songtao said anxiously. "As the saying goes, those who are not of our race will definitely have different thoughts. Lin Kedi and his mercenaries are from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. They came for benefits…"
"The demonic beasts are not of our race. Do we still have to guard against them now?" Zhou Shu asked with a smile.
"That\'s different. After all, this is also the demonic beasts\' home…" Shi Songtao said.
"Alright, don\'t worry." Zhou Shu shook his head. "I\'ve already prepared the final payment to the mercenaries of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom."
Zhou Shu waved his hand.
There was a flash of light, and grains of sand emitting starlight fell from the sky with a clatter.
The sand landed on the ground in front of the Eight Views Palace like rain. In a few breaths, it had already piled up into a small mountain.
"What is this?" Shi Songtao\'s pupils constricted. "Galaxy divine sand?"
His breathing became heavier.
Shi Songtao was an expert and knew very well how precious the galaxy divine sand was.
In the past, there was a saying that described the value of forging materials. It was called one liang[1] of forging materials and one tael of gold.
But galaxy divine sand had never been measured in liangs!
It was measured in grains!
One grain of galaxy divine sand was worth more than one tael of gold!
When forging a weapon, if one or two grains of galaxy divine sand were added, its value would directly double!
Shi Songtao had seen countless good things over the years, but he had never thought that he would be able to see so much galaxy divine sand one day!
How many grains of galaxy divine sand were there?
A hundred thousand?
A million?
There was no way to count it all.
The galaxy divine sand almost filled half of the Eight Views Palace before Zhou Shu retracted his hand.
"This galaxy divine sand should be enough to pay the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom\'s mercenaries," Zhou Shu said casually.
"Yes, it\'s enough!" Shi Songtao gulped.
"Your Highness, where did you find so much galaxy divine sand? Did you rob the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?" Shi Songtao asked.
"The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom is full of poor people. They don\'t have many good things." Zhou Shu curled his lips in disdain.
It wasn\'t that he hadn\'t been to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom before. He had even visited the warehouse of the number one refiner of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, Wu Suchen.
Speaking of which, the connate divine weapons that Zhou Shu had used to hire the 10,000-strong army of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom had been forged with forging materials stolen from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
He had used things from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom to deal with Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
It was unknown if the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was really too poor or if what Wu Suchen had was only a portion of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom\'s wealth.
