Chapter 2088: Alone and helpless

If there are only these catapults and crossbows, it can't prove how strong their combat power is. At most, it can only prove their resources. Their iron ore is much more than other forces.

Because these catapults and crossbows, if you want them to fully play their role, you need a lot of people to operate them.

This is not an ordinary crossbow that can be operated by one person. For siege weapons of this scale, catapults and crossbows, each one requires 3 people to complete the operation.

So if all these hundreds of catapults and crossbows are to be used, the 3333 Empire needs to provide at least 300 people to operate them.

So if the 3333 Empire does not have so many people, then these catapults can only be used ten or a hundred times more.

At that time, the number that can really be counted and used can only be determined by their final number of people.

So when they thought of this, they still got a little comfort at the time, and felt that the distance between them and the 3333 Empire seemed to be shortened a little bit, and they were not completely unable to keep up with the pace of the 3333 Empire.

It was nothing more than that the other party's resources were extremely rich, but apart from the resources, the other party's combat effectiveness might not reach such a high level.

They even wondered if the other party was the so-called nouveau riche, the kind that only had money but no combat effectiveness.

Does that mean that after this viewing ceremony, they could find an opportunity to wipe out the 3333 Empire.

By then, they would have such powerful resources as the 3333 Empire, and their strength would definitely change dramatically, and they might be able to become a top force in one fell swoop, and become a presence on par with the World Alliance.

But when they walked a distance and found those fully armed and heavily guarded guards, the last thought in their hearts was completely dispelled.

Compared with the hundreds of crossbow carts and catapults, the number of guards they saw was definitely far more than 300.

And each guard's equipment was equipped to the teeth, which was definitely a world apart compared to their protective weapons.

Facing such guards, they could fully believe that one of them could easily kill ten of them.

It's not that these guards are so powerful, but their weapons may not be able to break the opponent's armor.

You said you can't even break the opponent's defense, what else can you use to fight the opponent?

And these guards are not the number of the entire 3333 Empire. In addition to these guards, there are many miscellaneous people and some invisible technical talents.

So if all these people are counted, the number of members of the 3333 Empire is at least 500, or even more.

And all the members of a general large force added together may not even be able to break a hundred.

As for those small and medium-sized forces, there are only dozens of them, and the few may only be in the single digit.

So just what they saw was enough to prove that the 3333 Empire was well-deserved to be one of the top three forces in the Sky Island World.

There was wealth, combatants, and siege weapons.

In fact, there are people who know this truth. Not to mention other external forces that came to watch the ceremony, even the ministers of the 3333 Empire know that such a building is a complete waste.

Unfortunately, even if they know, it is useless. The emperor of the 3333 Empire is not as easy to talk to as Jiang Tian, ​​and can listen to other people's persuasion.

In the 3333 Empire, the emperor's words are the same as his level. That is the imperial edict. Once the golden mouth opens, no one can persuade him.

Not only is it useless, but the person who persuades may lose his life because of his kindness.

Because such words are a provocation to the ears of the emperor of the 3333 Empire, an act of disrespecting him. Such words are absolutely harsh and will make him furious.

In his heart, his words must not only be as useful as the imperial edict, but also require his ministers to be absolutely loyal to him.

As long as it is what he says and what he wants to do, other people must obey unconditionally and agree with everything he does from the bottom of their hearts. There must not be any doubts, let alone opposition.

Because such things are disloyal to him and disobey him. In his eyes, such people are traitors. Such people can only be executed by family law.

And if someone dares to plead for him, this person will end up like him.

But even if the 3333 Empire is such a face-saving existence, the food of their people is absolutely delicacies from the mountains and seas in the eyes of other forces, which is enviable and jealous.

But when such food is compared with the food provided by the Merchant Alliance, it instantly changes from delicious food to pig food.

You read it right, it is indeed pig food. The previous situation was that they ate delicious food in the 3333 Empire, and the food of other small and medium-sized forces was as hard to swallow as pig food.

But when they saw the food eaten by the Merchant Alliance, they really understood what delicious food was. Their food was only relatively good. Once they encountered real delicacies from the mountains and seas, theirs was like chaff, and every bite was hard to swallow.

It’s not that the emperor of the 3333 Empire is reluctant to spend money, but there are some things that they may not be able to buy even if they spend money.

For example, the kitchen of the Chamber of Commerce is higher than the Michelin chefs in the previous world. This is the existence of the God of Cooking, ‘Pao Ding! ’

Ordinary people may rarely taste the food he made in their lifetime, not to mention Pao Ding, even Pao Ding’s disciples may not be able to taste it.

But such a big man has become the chef of the Chamber of Commerce.

Not only Jiang Tian, ​​the leader of the Chamber of Commerce, can enjoy such food, but all members of the Chamber of Commerce can enjoy it together.

So even if the level of the imperial chef of the 3333 Empire is high, when they meet this ancestor-like big man, their food will naturally become tasteless, just like pig food that is hard to swallow.

However, no matter how hard it is to swallow, the price they spend is still not cheap.

The environment of the Sky Island World is really too harsh, and many things need to be planted slowly, unlike the previous world, where many things are ready-made and can be bought with money.

In the Sky Island world, even if you are rich, some things are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Unless others are really short of money, they may not sell such things even if you offer them mountains of gold and silver.
