Chapter 14 Buy with the left hand and sell with the right hand

Erlang Shen stretched out five fingers very slowly.

"Five hundred crystal coins? Fortunately, I can barely accept it."

Erlang Shen shook his head: "Add another zero to the back."

"Five...5,000 Crystal Coins? Boss, I bought a soldier, not a magic cannon. Did you get the price wrong? The God-power angel in the Temple of Light has only 1,000 Crystal Coins! Isn't this too exaggerated?"

Erlang Shen shook his head: "The soldiers in the Heavenly Court never supplied the consumption of the mortal world before, and you should also know our rules. This time, the Jade Emperor specially approved you for permission, which is already a blessing from the law. I also know that this price is not cheap, but the price is stipulated by the Heavenly Court and cannot be changed. Otherwise, how about you consider changing other troops?"

After hearing Erlang Shen's words, I thought about it in my mind. A super army of five thousand crystal coins, even if it is used as the vanguard leader, it will have to be worth at least a thousand people. A thousand soldiers will cost five million crystal coins, and this price is really unacceptable.

"God. I actually like this army very much. Can't I give me a cheaper price?"

Erlang Shen shook his head: "The laws and regulations of heaven have never been discussed."

I suddenly thought about it. "Erlang Zhenjun, please recommend other troops to me. The price will be left first. I'm just looking at the situation today. I'll have to wait two days for the specific purchase."

"That's fine." Erlang Shen immediately recruited a team of troops next to him. "This is the second type of troops I recommend to you."

The second armour is basically the same as the first armour recommended by Erlang Shen. The teams in the Heavenly Court are all regular soldiers. Although the armor has been slightly modified according to each armour, the appearance is not much different. Otherwise, the mixed formation will look very messy when attacking. The biggest difference between the second armour and the first armour is weapons. These soldiers are holding four or five meters long hook sickle guns, and the golden gun is covered with a relief of a dragon, which looks quite heavy. However, looking at the bodies of these guys, you will know that if they wave these things, they will not be slower than the saber hands just now.

"What kind of army is this?"

Erlang Shen immediately introduced: "Most of the troops in the Heavenly Court are actually named according to their purpose. This type of troops is generally called the Breaking Formation Team. It is specially used to disperse the enemy's ground formations. Although they have a long weapon, they are actually a real single-on-one type, but they fight faster. If you have the opportunity to use this type of troops in the future, you will naturally know."

"That means they are specifically used to attack enemy formations and mess up formations, right?"

"It's basically used in team battles. However, it's not good to be a vanguard in urban warfare to enter the city for key assaults. This type of army fights one-on-one and group fights are very powerful, and it's a special raid-style land unit."

"You mean this is a raiding force?"

"Yes. It's the attacking force, and it also has the characteristics of a sniper team."

"But their weapons are so long, what if they encounter woods or street fighting in cities when fighting?"

Erlang Shen nodded to the team over there, but he didn't see what the soldiers did. However, the weapons in their hands suddenly began to shorten, and finally turned into a long-handled sickle with only one meter long left. The soldiers played a set of fighting moves neatly with their sickle, and then the hilt of the sickle began to stretch. The soldiers held a foot below the sickle with their right hand, and shook their ends with their left hand. The lever in the middle of the sickle suddenly collapsed and hung on the ground. After a closer look, they turned into a

The chains of chains. The hook and sickle gun turned into a sickle-shaped chain knife, and it was retractable. Under Erlang Shen's eyes, these soldiers immediately played a few beautiful knife throwing skills, and then narrowed the chain of the hook and flying knife and pulled both sides hard. The chains in the middle were quickly straightened. They took advantage of the moment when the chains were straightened and pressed the hands into the middle. The chains were quickly pushed together and merged into the gun bar. Then the weapons in their hands once again became a super long hook and sickle gun four or five meters high.

Jiro Shinto said: "How is it? Not to mention street fighting, it's okay to fight in the room."

"The heavenly soldiers are indeed strong."

"That's natural." Erlang Shen smiled proudly.

"How much does this cost?"

"This one is cheaper than the one just now." I was just happy when I heard Erlang Shen say it was cheaper. He then said, "Each four thousand crystal coins."

"This is also called cheap? Do you know what cheap troops are among other forces?" Erlang Shen shook his head, and I continued: "In other religious forces, those with a price of no more than one hundred crystal coins are called cheap troops. Higher troops are generally between six hundred crystal coins and one thousand two, so you can get here. One is 4,000 and one is five thousand, and one is enough to buy a bunch of them."

Erlang Shen said a little dissatisfied: "It was you who said you wanted the best place, so I would like to recommend the higher-level troops for you. Besides, your land is an air cavalry, not an ordinary garbage soldier. If you want it, we also have one. The fourth-level hand-to-hand combat heavenly soldiers over there, each with 500 crystal coins. Isn't it cheap enough?"

"Is that the cheapest soldier?"

Erlang Shen shook his head: "That is the cheapest of the troops that can ride horses. Didn't the Marine Force just be removed? There is also a simple rune soldier among those Marine Force, which is the lowest-level and cheapest troops in the Heavenly Court, each with 300 crystal coins."

"Damn. Do you know how much the cheapest soldier in other places costs?"

"How many?"

"Each sinner warrior in the Temple of Light only sells 15 crystal coins, each of the corpse soldiers in the Temple of Darkness 10 crystal coins, and the miscellaneous soldiers recruited from the city are usually only 8 crystal coins per person. You can get the best, the cheapest one is the price of the intermediate troops, and the regular troops are the same as the elite troops, so let alone the advanced troops. Come catch up with the magic cannon!"

Erlang Shen immediately defended: "You have to consider the cost-effectiveness! You spend 4,000 crystal coins to buy 400 corpse soldiers. I can use a guillotine gunman to knock them down in five minutes."

"By the way, have you ever fought with the Temple of Light before? I remember that at the beginning of the year, a group of Light was killed by you. Is this a matter?"

"Yes, what are you asking about this?"

"I want to know how effective your soldiers are in combat against angels? How effective is the angel fighter? "

Erlang Shen thought for a while and said, "The hook and sickle spearmen did not participate in that battle. After all, it was a raiding force, and we dared not equip a lot of equipment. However, the Long Knife Hands over there. At that time, a Long Knife Hand captain cut down more than 30 Divine Angels and hundreds of White Angels by himself, but he was only slightly injured. Of course, this was the Long Knife Hand captain, and his strength was quite exaggerated, but it should be no problem for ordinary Long Knife Hands to cut down more than a dozen Divine Angels."

If Erlang Shen is not exaggerating, according to the combat power he mentioned, these advanced troops in the heavenly court definitely surpass other sects in terms of combat power, and the cost-effectiveness is indeed very good. Although a long sword hand is equivalent to the price of four divine angels, a long sword hand can match the combat power of at least ten divine angels. This is not expensive, but cheap. But after all, I don’t have enough money, even if I know it’s cheap, I don’t have the money to buy it!

"Justice Erlang should recommend the next military service for me!" I plan to record all the needs first, calculate the price and go back to raise funds. If it really doesn't work, I will borrow some from the Northern Alliance and other friendly guilds. It's really painful, such a big guild has reached this point!

Erlang Shen recruited another team of soldiers and introduced them. "This is the army you need most."

I just took a look and nodded: "Arrow soldiers are indeed the best military in air combat."

The armor of these soldiers is lighter than the first two types of soldiers, and each of them has a golden bow and a archer behind them. Unlike the quiver of European archers, the archer of these soldiers is a rectangular container with a volume of at least ten times that of the quiver. There are also a row of small boxes hanging around the waists of these soldiers. It looks strange. The small boxes are about the same size as the pencil case, but slightly thicker.

Erlang Shen walked to a soldier and said, "This is a spirit archer, which is a certain difference from ordinary archers. Pay attention to the boxes on their waists. These are dimensional storage boxes, and they are filled with well-written talismans."

"What are you doing when you install a talisman?"

Erlang Shen patted the soldier on the shoulder: "Show him."

The soldier immediately untied the golden bow and drew a feather arrow from behind. But he did not shoot immediately, but looked at me and asked, "What kind of talisman do you want to see first?"

Erlang Shen interrupted, "He hasn't seen it before, you can try it one by one."

"Yes." The archer immediately pasted the box on the leftmost box with the arrow shaft. A golden light flashed from the front of the box and it ended. However, there was an additional piece of yellow talisman paper wrapped around the arrow shaft. It turned out that the function of these boxes was to paste the talisman paper stored in it directly on the arrow shaft. The archer put the arrow on and nodded to the side. A soldier took a stone and threw it at it?

His hand immediately raised the arrow, but the direction he aimed was much different from the stone. He saw his hand loosening and the arrow flew out immediately. Strangely, the arrow turned around in the air and flew towards the stone. With a click, the stone was penetrated by the heart, the arrow and the stone landed together, and the stone was worn on the shaft.

The archer immediately spoke, "What I just showed was the tracking talisman. Before launch, the archer's eyes locked the target, and then thought that the target would shoot an arrow. When the arrow flew out, it would fly continuously for a incense stick to track the target. Unless the target can continuously dodge during this period, the arrow will lose its power after the timeout. Otherwise, the arrow will keep chasing the target."

Tracking guide arrows, and they are the kind that you don't need to worry about after launch.

After the archer said that, I couldn't express my opinion, so he showed the remaining few talismans one after another. Each time he shot, he would explain the purpose.

The second talisman is the explosion talisman. The arrow after it is fired is like a shell. It explodes immediately when it hits the target, and it is quite powerful.

The third one is the fire talisman. It will not explode until it is fried, but it will stick to the target that is shot and burn for ten minutes. When I was demonstrating it to me, the fire talisman made a shield red, and the shield surface is soft like noodles. It should melt after it burns.

The fourth talisman is a power enhancement talisman. In order to demonstrate what power enhancement is, they specially made a stone as big as a house this time. The arrow flew out 200 meters and shot through the seven-meter-thick stone. Then they penetrated out from behind the stone and then penetrated five layers of shields to get stuck in the sixth shield. This arrow could shoot people through the city wall.

The fifth talisman is more common, but its power is very terrifying. This is a five-thunder talisman. I have used the Tianlei Talisman in the past. Wherever the Tianlei Talisman is pasted, a Tianlei will descend from the sky to attack this position. This time, the Five-thunder talisman was shot with the arrow, and the big stone was hit. However, the penetration force of the arrow was very average, and it was only about three inches of inserted. However, as soon as the arrow hit the stone, a lightning flashed down without warning, and the stone was cracked on the spot. I was even more surprised that this Five-thunder talisman is different from the Tianlei Talisman of the gold coins. After the lightning fell, it bloomed immediately, and electric arcs flashed from all directions.

The sixth talisman was demonstrated without any effect, but it is said that this is a magic destroyer. If you bring this talisman, you will become a magic destroyer. Any magic, Taoist art, magic, and spiritual power. Anyway, as long as it is not a physical force, the protection formed by the protection of physical power will be super broken. No matter what kind of magic shield you protect, you will become a piece of broken paper when you encounter this arrow. This thing is simply a nemesis of the mage.

After all the six talismans were demonstrated, I decided to buy this army no matter how expensive it is. Is it simply a super army?

Erlang Shen heard me ask about the price and immediately smiled and said, "This army is also very expensive, each of which is 5,000 crystal coins."

I couldn't help but gasp. It was indeed a very thirsty price! "Why is it so expensive?"

Erlang Shinto said: "These soldiers themselves are just archers. Apart from the fact that they shoot very accurately, they are not special, but the bow on them is a very precious thing. The cost of that bow is only 1,000 crystal coins, so the troops are relatively expensive. Moreover, these archers also work as part-time Taoist priests, and their talismans are all made by themselves. However, they can only make these six kinds of talismans, and they can't even use other Taoist techniques."

"Runish archer. You can also make talismans by yourself. No wonder it is so expensive. By the way, what's the special thing about the bow that costs 1,000 crystal coins?"

Erlang Shen said exaggeratedly: "That's a golden bow, with its own ballistic stability and firepower extended range. Just now, in order to let you see clearly, they were all performing at close range. In fact, the range of these archers is farther than that of all mages and siege weapons, and their power is not something you can imagine!"

"So strong?"

"It's not a problem with the archer, it's all because of this bow. Giving them an ordinary bow will be a few dozen meters away from the ordinary archers. However, the golden bow can make any archer reach its original range of ten times, so this bow is so expensive. By the way, the arrows of these archers are actually not ordinary arrows. Their arrows are engraved with storms, and even in strong winds, they will not deviate from the flight route due to airflow."

"It turns out you get what you pay for."

"Of course."

I looked at other troops: "Is there anything worth recommending?"

Jiro Shinto said: "Out of my friend's position, I suggest you use these three types of troops to cooperate with one army. It is useless to equip other troops. Air cavalry is different from the troops on the ground. Heavy troops such as shields are not suitable for air combat. As long as these three types of troops with strong assault power are enough."

"Then do you have any troops suitable for defending the city? You don't have to be able to ride horses and participate in city defense."

Erlang Shen thought for a while and said, "The Heavenly Court really rarely fights defensive wars. We have always attacked others. The Heavenly Court's defense is attack. Besides, the Heavenly Court has nothing to defend."

"That's it." I nodded: "Can you take me to see the Jade Emperor? I want to tell him something."

"Of course. But these soldiers..."

"I have no money now. I will come to you when I go back and raise funds."

"That's fine."

Erlang Shen quickly took me to the Heavenly Court, and the Jade Emperor is very polite to me now. I heard that my request for a meeting will be immediately approved. It is not so convenient for ordinary people to seek a meeting with the Jade Emperor.

After seeing the Jade Emperor in the Imperial Garden, I immediately ran over. The Jade Emperor asked me to sit down and asked Erlang Shen to go outside and wait.

"What's wrong with this time?" asked the Jade Emperor.

"Actually, I want to discuss some small deals with you."

"Oh? Talk to me about the deal? Let's hear it." The Jade Emperor was obviously very interested in this.

"Don't you hope to rescue Sun Wukong and Zizhu Fairy from the Buddha Sect?"

"Of course."

"Last time you said that if I could save them, you could give me a reward, right?"

"Yes. As long as you can save them, I will naturally reward you."

I nodded: "This time I just want to ask if I can assign the prize myself?"

"What do you want?" The Jade Emperor looked at me and said, "Some things in the Heavenly Court cannot be sent out, and I can't give you whatever you want."

"Of course. What I want is actually soldiers. Just now, Erlang Zhenjun took me to see the barracks of the Heavenly Court. I like those soldiers very much, but it's the price..."
