From the battles at Chaos Stone Island to Zhi Wei's battleground at the Fenglei Fort Defense Line, the casualties caused by thunderous explosions were merely one fifth to one tenth of those caused by explosive oil.
Therefore, regarding Suo Lun's thunderous explosions, one must cast aside the fear in one's heart and boldly charge through.
For this war, Zhi Li had poured in everything!
Signed by the cabinet, funded by the national treasury, the royal bank advanced nearly nine hundred thousand Gold Coins for military expenses, and the Hidden Yuan Association loaned three hundred and fifty thousand Gold Coins.
Moreover, the Turing Clan, nineteen dukes, and many other nobles each contributed money.
The Tuli Family from Luan Yang City exhausted their resources, pouring out over a hundred thousand Gold Coins.
The previous King, who had expanded the kingdom's territory by thousands of miles, only spent a bit more than a million Gold Coins on military expenses each year.
