Chapter 248: lost heavily

Rehn took the report, and it seemed that the contents above shocked him.
The first is the casualties of wizards.
Before that, there were more than 500 wizards in Wezeland Floating City, of which 107 died directly and 15 were seriously injured. Even if the 15 wizards who were severely wounded were recovered, it would be difficult for them to regain their past strength.
In addition to the 76 wizards sacrificed in the New World, the number of wizards lost by Wezeland this time is close to two hundred!
Moreover, there are only eleven of the original eighteen legendary wizards.
It also includes three legendary high-level wizards.
After this battle, the strength of Wezelan Floating City was almost cut in half. If the Holy Soul Wizard himself was injured, the remaining strength might not even reach half.
Residents in the floating city suffered even more casualties.
The number of civilians killed that day exceeded 10,000, and more than 300 people were missing. There were countless minor injuries, but not many serious injuries, only a few dozen.
Ordinary people encounter an army of undead, death knights, or liches, and they die when they touch them, and they rarely have the chance to survive if they are injured. The dozens of seriously injured civilians were all overwhelmed by the collapsed building. After being rescued, they were quickly cured.
Even so, the civilian casualties were too tragic.
The resident population of the entire floating city is about 100,000. On average, one in ten people die, and some of them are transformed into undead, and finally purified by arcane fire, even the corpse is not found.
The report also counts the economic losses of the floating city.
The cost of repairing various buildings, streets, and public facilities, the consumption of alchemical materials, plus the pensions for wizards and civilians, and compensation for hundreds of shops and industries will cost a total of 8.5 million gold shields!
This is an astronomical amount of money.
You know, the annual income of Wezeland Floating City adds up to almost five million gold shields.
This money provided the wizards with welfare resources for the daily maintenance of the floating city. The floating city was unable to make ends meet. The debt of the floating city was rising every year, and it was in a state of deficit every year, and it was impossible to spend so much money.
Rehn put down the report and found that several speakers were frowning.
"Let's discuss what to do."
Anci Verdaus had read this report a long time ago, and had been considering the issue of raising money for the past two days. The 8.5 million gold shield made the holy soul wizard out of breath and had not rested for several days.
"This money is too much, I am afraid it will be difficult to collect." Kaidejia frowned and said: "Can you cut a part?"
"No, it must be paid in full." Anse Verdaus' attitude was very firm.
Renn nodded in agreement.
In any case, the money must be paid out.
No matter how great the reputation of Wezeland Floating City, no matter how high its status in people's minds, but without compensation or money, both civilians and wizards will be dissatisfied, leading to dissatisfaction.
If the hearts of the people are scattered, the team will be difficult to lead.
Floating City has just been hit hard, it is the time to regain self-confidence and give hope. If people's economic interests are touched at this time, it will undoubtedly lay the blame for the future.
Even cuts will not work.
For the future of Floating City, these 8.5 million pieces of gold cannot be missed.
Kaidejia originally wanted to say, since it can't be reduced, can he consider deferring payment, but seeing that several speakers disagree, he gave up.
Cleos, who looks like a high elf, said: "In the past, the floating city was in debt every year. Now that so many wizards have been lost, the corresponding expenditure has been drastically reduced, and the financial pressure is relieved. Next year, there will be a lot of savings."
"If you can borrow 8.5 million gold shields to survive the crisis, and then repay it in five years, it should be fine."
Cleos said, touching his smooth chin.
Ren seemed to see the light of Golden Shield in his eyes.
He quickly calculated.
The number of wizards has dropped by 40%, so the welfare resources for them can be saved, about 1.8 million gold shields per year, and it is indeed just right to divide it into five years.
He couldn't help but glanced at Cleos. He was worthy of being a giant dragon, so sensitive in wealth, he suddenly thought of a solution.
"Teacher, speakers."
Renn spoke out and attracted everyone to watch, "Akaland, the vice chairman of the Mechanics Union, asked me to tell the chairman a few days ago that the Mechanics Union is willing to provide an interest-free loan of 3 million gold shields. Ten years later, Pay off."
He wanted to say it to the teacher in private, but now the time is right, it doesn't hurt to say it in Parliament.
"Three million golden shields..."
Anse Verdaus' snow-white beard moved, with a look of surprise: "Omnisia, this stingy fellow, when did he become so generous?"
He looked at Rennes, "Are you sure it's an interest-free loan?"
"Yes, teacher."
Renn replied very positively. He thought to himself that the original chairman of the Mechanic Guild was called Omnisia, which didn't sound like a human name.
Ansivdaus thought for a while and made a decision: "No matter what the Mechanic Guild wants, I will accept this favor. Rennes, you tell Akkaland, let him send the money to the floating city as soon as possible."
"I'll notify him after the meeting." Renn immediately responded.
Anse Waldos nodded and continued: "There is still five and a half million gold shields short."
Ronnie, who had been silent for a long time, asked, "The Speaker, what is the conclusion of the Supreme Council on this incident? Does the Empire have allocated funds?"
"The resolution of the Supreme Council is not to take action for the time being. The Naxxra floating city is missing. Wait until there is a suitable opportunity to retaliate. As for the funding, I proposed a motion, but it failed." Anse Wadaus' eyes flashed. haze.
"Why don't you give money?" Ronnie asked.
"Ogulevy's original words were that the Wiseland Floating City did not pay taxes to the empire. It has always been financially independent, and the empire has no reason to allocate funds." Anse Waldos said lightly: "Tim Kenan stood by him this time. So the proposal was rejected."
Several speakers were speechless.
Ren also sighed secretly, the reason was unassailable.
Ogulevi, Tim Kenan, and the teacher are among the three giants of the empire. They each lead three different spellcasting concepts. They also form their own factions on the Supreme Council, supported by several holy spirit wizards.
If two giants oppose this issue, it will not be passed.
Kaidejia frowned, "This disaster has nothing to do with the Mordu nobles, and they should also take part of the responsibility, at least to pay."
"The Mordu nobles may not even be able to take out one hundred thousand golden shields now." Ren shook his head.
Cleos said: "No, I can only borrow money from the Empire Bank."
"This is the last resort." Anse Waldos sighed. "Wezeland has already owed a huge debt with the Empire Bank. If you borrow money again, the interest rate will be too high." He hesitated, and finally tentatively said: " Why don’t I sell the Holy Rod of Akath."
The value of a legendary staff is almost five million gold shields, enough to fill the hole this time.
Several speakers were shocked.
Kaidejia immediately stopped: "The Speaker, absolutely can't sell the Akath Scepter."
Ronnie also expressed his opposition, "Selling Legendary Staff, such a sensational thing is definitely not hidden, and it will attract the enemy's prying eyes. If it is discovered that the speaker is seriously injured and his strength is reduced, the result may be worse than not being able to pay. ."
"Ronnie is right, you must not sell staff." Cleos said solemnly.
Ren also shook his head again and again. Any legendary weapon is unique and cannot be bought with money. The teacher’s Achills Scepter was obtained through hard work in the past, and it fits the teacher’s spellcasting method very well. The strength is greatly improved.
If you sell it, you may never get a suitable staff again.
The strength of the holy soul wizard is the support and confidence of the floating city, and the loss of the scepter of Akath will hit the floating city too much.
"Well, then we won't sell the staff." Seeing that the speakers were strongly opposed to it, Anci Verdaus could only dispel this idea.
Renn sighed secretly.
It's a penny to stump the heroes, the dignified holy soul wizards, they are forced to sell the legendary staff that they have carried for many years...
"Teacher, I personally donate one hundred thousand gold shields to Floating City for free."
Rehn estimated the cash in hand and the money that might be raised, and said: "Give me half a month, I should be able to find a way to collect 500,000 gold dongs or even more. Of course, the 500,000 gold dongs are No interest will be charged for those lent to Wezeland and will be repaid in the future."
Anse Waldos nodded in relief, "Okay, I accept it."
"Aristocratic lord is rich." Kaidejia said with a smile, showing a bit of envy, "I am not as rich as Rennes, so I can only take out fifty thousand gold shields. This is all my wealth."
"I can almost get fifty thousand gold shields." Ronnie said reluctantly.
"I can give out three hundred thousand gold shields." It was Dahrendon who was speaking. This was the first time he had spoken in the council, and everyone was admired.
Anse Waldos said, "Darlandon, you don't have to force it."
"President, I am a master alchemist. I have made a lot of money over the years and I can still get 300,000 gold shields." Darlandon smiled lightly, looking very relaxed.
"That's good." Anse Waldos did not speak any more.
When Rennes and his team were vying for money, Cleos' expression changed slightly, as if he was considering a difficult decision. When everyone looked at him, he finally said in a deep voice: "I will not help any money, but You can lend Floating City two million gold shields, and you must pay me the lowest interest every year."
Ronnie was taken aback, "Teacher, you actually have two million gold shields!"
Kaidejia and Daranda were also very surprised.
Can’t tell, Speaker Cleos is the richest person.
Ren knew the details of Cleos, he was not a human at all, but a red dragon.
It is said that every dragon has the habit of collecting treasures and possesses treasures that countless people covet. It now appears that the rumors are still very reliable. Cleos is willing to lend two million gold shields. Although interest is charged, it is actually very rare.
It is impossible for a dragon to donate money for free!
Anse Vados obviously knew the identity of Cleos, so he was not surprised, and soon signed an agreement with the Red Dragon, borrowing two million gold shields at very low interest.
He accepted the contract and his expression was much lighter.
"Personally, I also took out half a million gold shields, plus the raising of the speakers, that would be only two million gold shields ~EbookFREE.me~ Anse Waldos shook his head and sighed:" I was willing to go to the Queen of Storm to borrow it face-to-face, and hope she won't charge too much interest. "
The Storm Queen is one of the twelve holy soul wizards of the Supreme Council.
At the same time, she is also the ruler of the Principality of Hohavan. She has huge wealth. It is said that her net worth can be ranked among the top ten richest people in the world.
The Queen of the Storm often supports Anse Verdaus in the High Council, which is regarded as an ally.
The economic difficulties were temporarily resolved.
The Wezeland Council discussed several issues concerning the governance of the floating city, and the meeting ended after more than an hour.
Several speakers left one after another.
Ren teleported into the teacher's study, and saw that the teacher was not sitting behind the desk as usual, but standing in front of the window, looking worriedly at the northern sky.
