One million troops! Thirty Star Destroyers!

The Holy Soul Wizard and the Imperial Parliamentarians looked at each other, both frightened by the emperor's plan to expand the army, and some even felt that it was too crazy.

Even more than a thousand years ago, during the reign of the emperor, the empire's army had only a little over 300,000. The 350,000 people after the merger of the seven armies and the Duke Guard had broken the historical record of the empire and reached its peak.

However, the emperor actually expanded three times!

A real army of millions!

This is not an ordinary soldier, everyone is an extraordinary person. The extraordinary person has a status that is far greater than that of ordinary people. It takes a lot of money to get them into the army to obey orders. Their salary alone is a huge number.

In addition, various treatments are required, magic potions, facilities for assisting cultivation, magic souls, training, weapons and equipment, magic items, etc., and each one is not cheap.

A standing army composed of millions of extraordinary people, the annual military expenditure is terrifyingly high.

There is no need for such a large army to rule the empire!

What does the emperor want to do?

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, but no one spoke for a while.

Ancivodaus was about to speak, but Euroin was snatched in front of him. The founder of the combat wizard had always been blunt and asked directly: "Ren, I want to know what your purpose is to build this million army? You don't need so many people at all, and no one can shake your position in the empire."

"Master, the sword edge of the Imperial Defense Army points outside the Empire, not within the Empire." Renn explained: "That's why it is called the Imperial Defense Army."

His voice rose a little and he said loudly:

"The responsibility of this army is to protect the lives and property of the people of the empire and protect the invasion of the empire by foreign enemies."

Ouer was a little puzzled: "Enemy from abroad?"

"Evil god, abyss, demons."

Renn replied in a deep voice: "Allen's civilization has always been threatened by the abyss. The Demon Legion has destroyed this world three times. The brilliant achievements are destroyed. We cannot follow in the footsteps and must be prepared!"

There was an uproar below.

Many people have changed their faces. The invasion of the abyss is like a sharp sword hanging on the head of a civilized race. When they think about it, they will have nightmares, but they also feel very far away.

The fourth abyss invasion is inevitable.

However, according to historical laws, the next large-scale invasion of the Abyss demon is still far away, and it will be at least two thousand years before the development of civilization reaches a new peak, and the evil gods of the Abyss will come to harvest again.

Ouroin was also very serious, "Your Majesty, have you foreseeed something?"

"Not." Ren replied.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Ren said again: "Maybe the invasion of the abyss is still far away, but who can guarantee that it will not be advanced? Everything must be prepared, so that we will not be in a hurry when the disaster really comes. Besides..." He paused, "Why must we wait until the abyss invasion, instead of taking the initiative to attack and counterattack into the abyss?"

hiss……

Many Imperial congressmen gasped and were stunned.

Counterattack on the abyss?

Even in the most ridiculous dream, they didn't expect this. It was a bottomless abyss, with countless demons, the terrifying abyss lords and evil gods, and the most terrifying four gods of the abyss!

Even if the gods of heaven unite together, they only barely resist the abyss.

How dare a mortal empire think about counterattacking the abyss?

This is ridiculous!

The Holy Soul Wizards were also frightened by Renne's bold idea. They looked at the emperor one by one, and their expressions were like ghosts on their faces, and they couldn't say a word for a long time.

Ancivodaus stood up and persuaded seriously: "Ren, it is too dangerous for the mortal army to attack the abyss. You cannot take the empire on this road of no return and ruin the lives of billions of empire people. Even the entire main material world may be implicated and trigger the invasion of the abyss in advance."

"I understand, teacher." Ren nodded slightly.

His eyes swept across the scared people, "This is just one of my ideas, not really going to be implemented, but it does not hinder the military expansion plan."

"The Imperial Guard is a defensive army, not an offensive."

"I dare not hope to attack the abyss with mortal troops and let my people die in vain. Please rest assured."

Ancivodaus's face calmed down, "That's good."

The hearts of the others fell to the ground.

If Rennes really thinks this and does this, then he will be more crazy than all the emperors in history, including the emperors of every human kingdom, the elves, dwarves, and giant rulers of the previous era, and he is determined to lead the Orionthus Empire and all mankind to the end of self-destruction.

This is even more terrifying than the damage done by a hundred tyrants!

Although they were in awe of Rennes' strength and legion and were granted the crowned emperor by Rennes, the emperor made such crazy moves as soon as he came to power.

Then, they will do their best to stop the emperor and pull Rennes off the horse.

As long as the emperor does not act randomly.

Thinking of this, the plan to expand the army of one million people seems to be less exaggerated. The empire's population exceeds one billion and is growing rapidly every year. Because of the large-scale sale of Black Soul Potions, the number and strength of extraordinary people are increasing year by year.

It seems that a million troops can accept it.

You should know that every abyss demon is equivalent to an extraordinary person. At any larger abyss level, there are tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

Just one million people...

The Holy Soul Wizard and the Imperial Councilors were thinking, and everyone's mind changes were revealed in the eyes of the soul.

Renne smiled secretly.

Sure enough, people in any world like to compromise. If they only want to expand the army by one million, everyone will think it is too much and try their best to stop it. If they reveal a little bit of the words they want to counterattack the abyss, they are willing to accept the expansion of the army.

Of course he would not let the Imperial Defense Army attack the abyss, which was prepared for the mortal enemy outside the empire.

Counterattack on the abyss is not all a cover. If you have the chance in the future, you will give it a try!

But it should be a plan many years later.

Seeing that everyone was almost thinking, Ren continued: "Star Destroyer is the most important combat platform of the Imperial Defense Force, responsible for military training, transportation and delivery, ensuring safety and mobility, and is a strong backing on the battlefield."

"A Imperial-class star destroyer always has one division, that is, one for more than 10,000 people, and the full load can reach about two divisions."

"The Victory-class Star Destroyer can carry an entire army, about 100,000 people."

"So, thirty Imperial-class star destroyers are a relatively suitable number." Renn looked at everyone and said slowly: "I also plan to build another five Victory class, one Victory class and five Imperial class to form six Star Destroyer fleets."

A needle can be heard in the palace.

Everyone was shocked by the emperor's plan. If it could be realized, then the empire would have thirty-six Star Destroyers!

The power of the empire will reach an unprecedented terrible height!

Even in the heyday of the third era of the most glorious third era of intelligent civilization, the elves, dwarves and orcs, they were far inferior to the empire. This army could easily sweep across the main material world, the three major human empires, the Oroan, the New World, and the Dark World, all of which would be conquered by the empire.

Suddenly, everyone guessed the emperor's ambition.

Although it is not very certain, it is 70% or 80% sure.

The emperor wants to lead the empire to conquer the main material world, which is beneficial to everyone present and every empire’s people!

The Great Sage of Congerard asked thoughtfully, "Your Majesty, I wonder how much is an Imperial-class star destroyer? What about the Victory Class?"

This is the most critical issue.

Only Renn himself knew the construction method and cost of the Star Destroyer. Everyone was curious. He did not hide it and replied calmly: "The Empire level is 170 million gold shields, while the victory level is 500 million gold shields."

Everyone's eyes were straight.

As you can see from the appearance of the Star Destroyer, the cost is definitely not cheap, but I didn’t expect that an imperial-level ship would cost 170 million gold shields.

Duke of Silver Star is as stupid as a wooden chicken. Because her Alaszhuo Floating City is small, the cost is the lowest, and it only takes 80 million gold shields.

A star destroyer can match two of its own floating cities!

Rennes has eight Empire class and one Victory class. The cost of these star destroyers is close to 2 billion gold shields!

Everyone knows that the emperor is very rich, but they don’t know that he is so rich…

The Great Sage of Congerard took a deep breath and said, "According to His Majesty's plan, to build twenty-two Empire and five Victory Classes, a total of 6.2 billion gold shields will be invested. With such a high budget, can the imperial finances support it?"

"So I'll spend the next twenty years," Renn replied: "Batch construction, unified procurement of materials, and optimized processes, these methods can reduce the cost by about 20% and only require 5 billion gold shields. I personally spend another 100 million gold shields every year. In this way, the Ministry of Finance only allocates 150 million gold shields every year, which is relatively easy."

He said it very easily, but everyone's scalp was numb and their minds were blank.

100 million yuan is spent every year, and 20 years are only 2 billion gold shields. The emperor took them out casually, as if he had just taken out twenty copper lilies from his pocket!

But then I thought about it and the entire empire belonged to the emperor.

Money is just a number to him.

It is definitely a good deal to build six Star Destroyers with 5 billion gold shields. This huge investment will earn ten or a hundred times the profit for the empire!

All the millions of troops have agreed, and it is not a big deal to build a few more fleets.

In fact, no one can stop the emperor.

Even if the imperial finances do not support it, the emperor can still pay for a larger fleet out of his own pocket, but the speed is slower and the cost is higher.

The same is true for a million-dollar expansion.

The emperor held great power and could decide to implement it without anyone's consent. He was willing to solicit opinions here, and he had expressed his respect for everyone, and he was also telling everyone that he was not the kind of ruler who was determined to act and was completely dictatorial.
