Overgeared

“How much? What is the repair cost? How much is it?”

“It is 23.88 million gold. I ordered it from a domestic supplier and contracted it cheaper than the market price. It is possible because the workers cleared the schedule.”

Grid had been in a very good mood. He killed the followers, including the Triad, Haegak, and got a large amount of secret techniques. Zibal and Zikfrector also became allies so it felt like he had obtained the whole world. This was why he held a party.

Grid was happy and became interested in a system he had ignored so far. It was the king’s banquet. This was an event that invited up to 300 officials to serve alcohol and food to. He could improve the loyalty of the invited officials and dig into their personal histories. However, it needed a lot of money. It was a completely useless system from Grid’s position who had already captured people’s hearts. He didn’t need to hold such events. He was just in the mood for it today.

He decisively gave orders to prepare for a party. As a result, Administrator Rabbit came to him and said something ridiculous.

“23.88 million gold...”

This was the cost for the repair of Bairan Castle which collapsed yesterday. It was more than three times the amount he spent making the Magic Power Ejection Machine.

“An additional 24 commercial buildings were damaged. According to the testimony of the residents, the buildings were suddenly cut by something.”

“......”

Grid was reminded of the time when he used Barbatos’ Vision to cut down the followers in the city. Certainly... several buildings were damaged due to the flying sword energies. There were buildings where the corners were cut off and those where the ceiling was torn off. There were also buildings where the windows were broken. It seemed there was also a building split in half. The Undefeated King’s Swordsmanship might have skills that only hit ‘enemies,’ but not all of them were like this. Additionally, it was impossible to be responsible for the aftermath of attacking the enemy.

Rabbit told him, “The good thing is that there were no casualties.”

Grid already knew this. Only the followers entered the area where people were evacuated. “Um... The followers are really strong. It is enough to cut down buildings with sword energy. It is great.”

“I agree. I even mistook it for Your Majesty when I first heard the testimonies.”

“I’m not a bad king who destroys the homes of other people.

“Don’t you smash it often?”

“...In any case, we need to help the merchants with the repair costs. Take care of it so they don’t feel sorry.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Additionally, you need to pay 850,000 gold to Reidan’s alchemy facility.”

“Why again? Have they already spent their budget?”

“No. Your messengers and knights asked them for new consumables. I think they’ve exhausted it all in this battle. Additionally, the same items need to be given to Lord Zikfrector and Sir Zibal...”

“......”

Raids could make money. This was why the Overgeared managed raids throughout the kingdom by making separate raid teams. Still, raids also depended on the raids. If the target level was very high, then there might be a situation where there was a deficit.

Take Haegak for example. Haegak was strong. In order to raid him without much damage, it was necessary to maintain the best state and continuously consume the highest great buff medicines and recovery medicines produced by Reidan’s alchemy facility. In other words, Braham, Piaro, Mercedes, Sariel, Faker, Kasim, and Grid had consumed items worth hundreds of millions of won in this raid. It was cheap considering that the empire had suffered losses worth hundreds of millions of ‘gold’ during the Drasion raid.

‘I’m speechless thinking about it.’

A normal kingdom was different from the Overgeared Kingdom. Even the Saharan Empire had to deploy and lose a large number of troops to stop the great demons. This was where astronomical financial losses occurred. The damage was much greater than the benefits of raiding. It was extremely serious.
