CHAPTER 500: 229TH CHAPTER KISLEV SNOW LEOPARD_2

This troop, although lacking the stealth trait of the black panther, possesses other terrain adaptation, rapid mobility, and increased damage. Most importantly, their Ice Maiden’s Kiss trait can greatly protect the archer. As the cold breath emitted by the snow leopard condenses the ground, the proportion of damage it can endure on behalf of its master becomes higher.

This is undoubtedly very suitable for the heavy armored archers in the territory to fight positional warfare. Standing still to output, not only will the attack speed become faster, but even the damage reduction effect will become stronger.

Lin Rui couldn’t help but look a bit odd, glancing at Su Xi, who also pursed her lips.

Why does this war beast only protect females?

Lin Rui swore, this really has nothing to do with him. You say those Sun Flame Knights and the lustful griffins in the territory are one thing.

This snow leopard has absolutely never had the slightest contact with the territory.

Its background is set like this, and it is a well-known real background that large long-tooth snow leopards, once trained, are used to protect the women in the Ice and Snow Royal Court. They are deeply loved by Kislev ice-snow maidens.

Of course... they also love those passionate and uninhibited ice-snow maidens in the Kislev Ice and Snow Realm.

Snow leopards and war bears are the two most famous beasts of Kislev, generally men knight war bears, women... sheltered beneath snow leopards.

These snow leopards are impossible to ride; their unbridled wildness makes it possible only to ride humans. They stay by the side of Ice and Snow Royal Court women, protecting them.

And by chance, all the territory’s archers are female, and the priests too...

This is just too coincidental, simply a match made in heaven!

To say not to buy these white big cats, Lin Rui himself feels a bit inappropriate.

They carry the XT-15 high-speed vibranium launcher standing next to the Holy Hall Maid Guard, they not only provide accompanying firepower support for the archers but also provide comprehensive defense damage reduction.

Given their lustful appearance, Lin Rui feels that if there were an attack, they would not only bear 50% of the damage, but absolutely run upfront to the mistress to use their bodies to block bullets.

The only thing Lin Rui is not quite satisfied with is, although the big cats are Tier Three giant beast units, the attribute panel is simply an eyesore.

Theoretically, giant beast units like Giant Dragons, Lion Scorpions, Fear Beasts could directly charge a heavy infantry phalanx.

But this type of snow leopard, truly charge a phalanx, instantly becomes completely ineffective. Simply a disgrace among big cats. I’m afraid a single heavily armored Terror Warrior can lift it like lifting a cub, and beat it up. If one wasn’t enough, two would definitely beat it up blindfolded.

Lin Rui even doubts whether it could defeat a giant eagle landed from the Elf Race.

To say compared to the heavy mounted Dragon Cavalry riding Giant Dragons, this giant beast unit is simply pocket-sized, maybe their use is just suitable for follows at the feet of maidens, providing accompanying firepower support.

But as a giant beast unit, their price is really not cheap!

Three thousand spirit crystal coins per piece, three times across planes trade.

To equip every archer and even priest in the territory with one such white big cat, at least six to seven million spirit crystal coins are needed!

Lin Rui furrowed his brow and asked Master Jialan: "If I purchase a large quantity, could you lower the price of these snow leopards?"

Master Jialan bluntly refused, saying: "These are the children of our motherland, we can’t sell them cheaply, it’s a desecration of their glory and dignity."

So assertive? Lin Rui was surprised, regrettably said: "Alright then, six to seven million spirit crystal coins I truly cannot afford, I’ll see if others have alternative options."

The next moment, Master Jialan fell off the Divine Throne, after a strong divine light sway, Master Jialan’s excited voice echoed: "How... how many?!"

Clearly, Lin Rui’s idea of quantity was entirely different from Master Jialan’s!

This was a giant beast! A giant beast!

It thought any territory buying dozens to equip the army for auxiliary combat was already impressive.

Turns out this guy wanted to buy two whole battalions!

Are you assembling a beast tide?

Thousands of snow leopards to tear monsters like packs of hyenas?

Indeed, the number mentioned by the wealthy is vastly different from the struggling souls on barren lands.

No wonder he disregarded the welfare issued by the Jialan Council.

It’s infuriating, while one was striving to leverage the Jialan Council’s welfare to subsidize one’s forces, this guy had already ignored the Council’s wealth!

But the hardship of the poor made Master Jialan lose his assertiveness, immediately said: "Sagittarius, if you plan to buy thousands, the price isn’t impossible to negotiate."

"But didn’t you say it was absolutely impossible to desecrate their glory and dignity?"

"True, I believe one should uphold principles, can’t just abandon dignity for money."

"Haha! Haha! That’s so funny!" Tyrannosaurus laughed heartily: "You northerners are just pitifully poor. Even bears have more dignity, at least bears don’t wag their tails begging, they can’t wag them."

"Nonsense! You who hug wood daily, poor to the point of having no pants, needing to borrow from the whole tribe just to scrape a set of outfits, where do you get the face to mock me? Go stroke your wood, fool!"

"Beep! Beep beep beep!"

"Beep beep, beep beep beep..."

Alright, this Master Jialan is indeed a sharp-tongued temperamental old guy. This temperamental old guy straightforwardly berated Tyrannosaurus unable to retort.

Screen full of censoring, Tyrannosaurus angrily went offline, temporarily avoiding the confrontation, waiting for a minute to calm down before coming back online.

And the living Master Jialan who berated Tyrannosaurus offline turned to Lin Rui, immediately changed his attitude, almost amiable: "Sagittarius, let’s talk about the specifics of this transaction. How many do you plan to buy?"

Seeing his terrifying combat prowess, Lin Rui couldn’t help but shiver.

He had no way to log offline leaving the Divine Throne Banquet today, offending him, allowing him full screen censoring, would leave nothing else he could accomplish.

Thus, Lin Rui immediately concealed information of having only three hundred thousand spirit crystal coins, said unblinkingly: "The precise number needs detailed counting, but conservative estimate not less than two thousand."

"Two thousand?!" Master Jialan’s vague divine statue eyes flashed: "Rest assured! If we reach an agreement, I’ll coordinate with the surrounding Lords, absolutely gather this number for you! As long as I provide sufficient spirit crystal coins, our Kislev Lords will hold my shoulder, actively racing to send snow leopards over."

After all, such snow leopards wander the snowy plains everywhere. As long as willing to invest effort, can provide adequate food, can continuously capture them.

But this pile of spirit crystal coins, is not something readily available!

In the wealthy Dragonbone Plain, famed for wealth, the Templar Order had its treasury cleared, with only four hundred fifty thousand spirit crystal coins.

The wealth on Dragonbone Plain is far beyond Kislev’s grasp!

Impoverished Kislev territories don’t lack heroic warriors and robust people, just lack wealth. Given abundant wealth, can quickly raise a massive army.

Master Jialan himself has gathered many recruitment quotas, just without sufficient funds, could not recruit.

His territory is just awaiting this substantial spirit crystal coins deposit. He immediately asked: "Sagittarius, what price do you plan to purchase at?"

Can’t deny his way of speaking fits the blunt nature of northerners.

Lin Rui didn’t hide anything, said: "I participated in plane transactions, a griffin, also Tier Three, priced only at 1000 spirit crystal coins, your three thousand is really too high."

Master Jialan immediately shook his head: "That’s different, some planes just abound with beasts. Snow leopards, while our Kislev specialty, aren’t as plentiful as you think. If you want to buy, minimum price two thousand spirit crystal coins. How do you intend to pay?"
