Chapter 1793: The Lord of Ashenreach
For a newly established knightly order to attract lower-ranking knights, it first had to offer benefits appealing enough to draw them in.Anyone who joined the Order of the Flame Demon would receive a set of magitech armor worth nearly one thousand magicoins. While that kind of benefit might not mean much to a Rank Three Sky Knight, it was highly attractive to Rank One and Rank Two knights.
This was especially true for ordinary knights who had only recently advanced to Rank One. In the midst of the Clash of Civilizations, their lives were constantly at risk, and receiving magitech armor this early could greatly improve their chances of survival.
It was Sein who had originally suggested using this kind of armor as a recruitment incentive.
Only someone as wealthy as he could support something like this.
Most newly advanced Rank Four knights were already struggling to cover the cost of their own training, along with the loans used to establish their knightly orders. Very few could afford to spend millions of magicoins on benefits like these.
In the end, with the substantial discount Babbage secured for them, Sein’s group spent a total of ninety-six million magicoins in Steel City. At full price, it would probably have cost around one hundred twenty million.
The space fortresses and prism forts accounted for the largest expenses, while even the war airships cost more than they had when Sein purchased them in the past.
Reina’s space fortress alone cost Sein thirty-two million magicoins.
Sia’s was slightly cheaper, but even after the discount, it still came to nearly twenty-seven million magicoins.
That kind of burden was far beyond what most newly advanced Rank Four powerhouses could afford.
No wonder the Magus Civilization offered so many financing options: basic loans for divine towers, low-interest loans for divine tower development and construction, and even special loans for ordering space fortresses...
