It would be nice if the compensation for the deceased could not be paid.
Such a thought flashed through Brin's mind.
Of course, just thinking about it, the contract has been made, and the other party is the ally in the oracle, but the elf has obviously not reached the limit, and he does not dare to do such a thing as turning against him...
Of course, with the efforts of the elves, Brin would not bother to do this.
He is not one of those cunning humans!
The reason why the City of Blades has become one of the famous business centers in the underground world is because the dark dwarves and underground gnomes here are more honest than other places.
Moreover, although the elves suffered heavy casualties, the damage they caused to the undead army was equally great.
Looking out from the city wall, the number of the undead army has been reduced by almost half!
You know, this time the Dark Alliance dispatched nearly 300,000 undead legions, of which there were as many as 100,000 undead of Black Iron rank and above. This does not include the tens of thousands after the attack. Goblins who are destined to be transformed into undead!
The army composed of the fallen undead is different from the shadow monsters. They are controllable. The Dark Alliance spends a lot of time and energy preparing the fallen undead as an important combat force of the army before each war...
And directly destroying the undead is far more useful than exhausting the opponent's magic power to control the undead army, because this means that once the war is over, the opponent will no longer be able to use the undead army in the short term!
In addition, the purpose of the Dark Alliance's attack on the City of Blades is to capture the city, not to destroy it. Therefore... it is unlikely to summon the shadow army, because no one knows whether it will eventually be summoned. What the **** is coming out.
So... once the undead army is eliminated, the frontal battlefield of this war will be half won.
As long as the high-end combat power defeats the previous one, the tone of this war will almost be set.
Thinking of this, Brin took a deep breath, forced a smile, and asked:
"Tucker, how much money do we have left in our finances?"
Tucker is not only responsible for calculating the rewards for hiring elves this time, he is also the financial controller of Blade City.
After listening to the chief's words, the old dwarf wiped his sweat again and replied:
"Chief Sir, if I must say it, there are still 10 million left, but... we can only use another 5 million at most, otherwise, it will affect the normal operation of our city and business."
After hearing the words of the Financial Controller, Brin fell into silence.
Five million...
According to this momentum, we can only hold on for one day.
Although money can always be earned back, it cannot be wasted like this.

Now that I think about it, it’s better to hire mercenaries in the underground world to help defend!
Hiring a large-scale professional mercenary group with an average strength of Black Iron level, more than 50,000 people, and rich experience to participate in the war can only cost up to 50,000 gold pounds a day.
Even if a mercenary group is hired to participate in the war, it cannot be hired for only one day. It is usually calculated on a monthly basis, and one month is only 1.5 million pounds of gold coins.
Of course, this is just a matter of thought.
Not to mention that the Dark Alliance has cut off the source of mercenaries for the City of Blades in the underground world. Even if they are hired, can they do better than the elves?
No matter how elite the mercenaries are, they will collapse if their casualties exceed 30 to 40%.
But these elves, whose death ratio has already reached over 80%, are still fierce...
Moreover, if they had not fought desperately, the losses of the Undead Army would not have been so great.
If ordinary mercenaries were to replace them, it would probably be a protracted war. It might last for several years or even more than ten years.
That kind of expenditure and loss is also an astronomical figure.
War...is always a waste of money.
In fact, at the beginning, Brin was able to agree to exchange equipment for the support of the elves because he considered that this war that the Dark Alliance had been preparing for a long time was very likely to become a protracted war.
It is not very profitable to hire elves to use a set of equipment for several years or even more than ten years.
The ideal is very happy, but the reality is very skinny.
Who knew...the proportion of these elves killed in battle was so high!
Get a set of equipment and die in the blink of an eye.
Although the enemy was killed, he died too quickly...
Caught off guard.
Of course, it is not without its benefits.
Based on Brin's experience, nearly half of the undead army was lost in a short period of time. It is estimated that if the siege continues for a few more days, the opponent will retreat.
Although the Dark Alliance still has an army composed of dark dwarves and illithids, the losses of the undead are at the forefront. Brin does not believe that the other party cannot see that the City of Blades has become a hard nut.
In this case, the opponent will most likely choose to give up the siege of Blade City.
Taking a deep breath, Brin already had a plan in mind.
He turned around, looked at the diplomatic manager who was standing on the other side and was responsible for negotiating with the elves, and said:
"Go and inform other city-states that this war... is a war for our entire Silent Alliance! The elven allies were invited by everyone together, and the oracle was also issued to all city-states!"
"If they want to win, if they still have respect for the goddess, they must bear the reward of the elven allies!"
"The City of Blades has already paid enough as a battlefield. Considering their own safety, we can understand that they did not send a large amount of support, but this is no longer just a war in the City of Blades!"
Hmm...
The City of Blades couldn't bear it, so it pulled other city-states together to bear it.
As long as this war can be ended as soon as possible, spending more money will be worthwhile in the long run.
After giving instructions to the diplomatic chief, Brin looked at the city wall that was still at war with a heavy expression.
Hey...
Obviously at an advantage.
But my heart hurts so much...
Maybe we should advise these elves not to fight so aggressively?
At this time, Brin suddenly saw Tucker, the financial controller, hesitated and hesitated to speak.
He was moved in his heart and asked:
"Tucker, what do you want to say?"
Tucker hesitated for a moment and said tactfully:
"Chief Sir, I don't know if it's my misunderstanding. Many times, I felt that the elves who came to participate in the war seemed to have been seen somewhere. Well... how should I put it, it was the elves who participated in the war later. Some of them had different looks. They make me feel very familiar...some even feel like I have seen them several times."
"I asked them specifically, and they said that the previous elves were their relatives, either their brothers or their sisters, and some even said they were twins..."
"Just one or two, that's all. Such elves... seem to be a bit too many."
After Tucker finished speaking, he smiled slightly.
He had been holding this matter in his heart for a long time, and now he finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he brought it up to the chief.
After hearing his words, Brin frowned slightly:
"You mean... after some elves participated in the war, they came back and received their rewards again?"
Tucker hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Brin's frown deepened.
He glanced at the city wall and then at the teleportation circle. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head slightly:
"It shouldn't be possible."
"The elves who came to participate in the battle all came through the teleportation array. The ultra-long-distance teleportation array was connected to Black Rock City. After the elves fought on the city wall, except for those who died in the battle, there were very few Come down..."
"If it's really what you said, can they be transferred out of thin air to Black Rock City hundreds of kilometers away, and then teleported back?"
