160: Summoning new products

Out of the three draws, besides the first one which only yielded ordinary sea fish, the subsequent high-grade energy core and Advanced Navy General were excellent goods.

Arthur was quite satisfied with the results of this random draw.

Time slowly flowed by, and soon it was late at night. Arthur saw that it was time to summon the warships.

He rode the Two-Headed Wyvern Andel, accompanied by Victor, and headed toward the sea area outside the dock.

They went directly to a location ten miles away from the dock. At such a distance and at night, it was impossible for people on land to discover anything.

Arthur, standing high above the sea, opened the Portable Shop and first clicked nine times on the image of the sea calming.

After spending 315 million Gold Coins, nine warships identical to the sea calming appeared out of thin air in the sea beneath Arthur.

The massive 300-meter-long hulls stirred up waves as they dropped into the sea.

The sound seemed quite abrupt in the quiet night, but fortunately, the location was far from the shore and did not attract attention.

All nine vessels were identical to the sea calming, a fact Arthur had considered.

Although he could slightly alter the appearance of these vessels so that others might not recognize them as warships similar to the sea calming.

Arthur thought it over and decided it was better to keep the nine warships in their original form.

Because even if he could hide it temporarily, once these nine warships were truly put to use.

If others, even people from other nations, discovered that these nine warships were no inferior to the Empire's Main Battleships.

That would certainly attract a lot of attention.

Because this would imply that Arthur's Lionheart Kingdom possessed the technology to manufacture such warships, which would be a huge deal, and Arthur would constantly face trouble.

However, if Arthur kept the nine warships identical in shape to the sea calming, others would only be amazed that Arthur had so much wealth to purchase the Empire's Main Battleships.

Even if the Empire realized something was wrong and the number of ships sold didn't match, they would only suspect internal issues—that someone was privately selling warships.

Although Arthur would still have trouble then, it would be much less.

Considering everything, the warships Arthur ultimately summoned were exactly the same as the sea calming.

After summoning the warships, Arthur searched through the Portable Shop, navigated to the recently drawn Navy General item, set the appearance to random, and clicked ten times.

Considering that the summoned Navy Generals only possessed the strength of an Earth Knight and could not fly, Arthur moved onto one of the warships before summoning them.

As Arthur clicked, the next moment, ten Earth Knight Experts with rich naval combat experience appeared before Arthur.

"Greetings, King Arthur!"

These individuals had been instilled with the basic information of the current world and understood Arthur's present status.

Therefore, when they appeared and knelt on one knee, their shouted greeting was different.

It changed from "Greetings, Lord Arthur" to "Greetings, King Arthur."

Arthur paid no mind to this and didn't even tell them to rise immediately, as he was planning to summon another batch of people.

Arthur thought that since he would need to summon more experts later to control the navy, he might as well summon them all now.

Arthur heard that the Empire's Main Battleships, similar to the sea calming, were equipped with five thousand accompanying Soldiers in addition to one thousand crew members.

Since he had a template, Arthur would no longer operate haphazardly; he planned to use this template to establish the Lionheart Kingdom's own navy.

Since he already had Navy Generals representing Earth Knight Experts, Arthur then followed the military configuration of one Gold Knight per thousand men and one Silver Knight per hundred men.

He purchased sixty Gold Knights and six hundred Silver Knights from the Portable Shop.

Of course, Arthur also purchased one Sky Knight in the end.

Because he felt that since the navy was a type of military branch, it would be quite inappropriate if it didn't even have a Sky Knight overseeing it.

However, since this summoned Sky Knight did not understand naval warfare.

In Arthur's arrangement, this Sky Knight generally would not participate in naval command, serving more of a symbolic purpose.

After all, experts at the Sky Knight level and below could be defeated simply by relying on the fleet's own strength.

As for Legendary Experts above the Sky Knight level, this Sky Knight combined with the fleet would still be unable to resist them.

Therefore, it was mostly symbolic.

After Arthur purchased these hundreds of people, they, like the previously purchased Navy Generals, all knelt on one knee to show obedience.

Arthur looked at the vast crowd of people kneeling on the ship's deck.

It should have been exciting, but when Arthur saw that every single person was wearing coarse cloth clothing worth next to nothing.

Although he had seen it many times, Arthur couldn't help but secretly complain that the System was truly stingy.

If all these people wore coarse linen clothes, it would be difficult to take them to the dock later.

Fortunately, Arthur already had experience; his space ring was already filled with tens of thousands of sets of normal clothing.

"Everyone, rise!"

Then, with a wave of Arthur's hand, hundreds of sets of various clothes appeared on the deck.

"Each of you take a set of these clothes and go change. I will make arrangements for you afterward!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

They naturally obeyed Arthur's command, and in less than two minutes, these hundreds of people had changed their clothes on the deck.

Thankfully, the System equipped the summoned people with underwear; otherwise, Arthur dared not imagine how shocking that scene would have been!

After everyone had changed their clothes and stood neatly before Arthur, Arthur turned his gaze to the first Navy General he had summoned.

Since the abilities of these individuals were similar, Arthur decided to randomly appoint one person as the Commander-in-Chief of the navy.

The first Navy General summoned became his target. Arthur looked at him and smiled:

"What is your name?"

"Endri Karina, Your Majesty!"

Being personally asked his name by Arthur seemed to be Endri's honor; he answered Arthur's question with surging Aura.

"Very good, Endri!"

"Yes!"

"I command that you be the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Lionheart Kingdom Navy that I am about to establish. The current naval configuration is ten giant vessels, with one thousand crew members and five thousand Soldiers per vessel!

The Sky Knight next to you will be your Deputy. I will fully assist in the formation of the navy going forward.

I want a navy that is initially combat-ready within one month. Can you do it?"

"Thank you for Your Majesty's trust. I will not shrink from death!"

Although Endri was summoned by Arthur and was fiercely loyal to him, he was otherwise no different from anyone else, except that his strength could not advance further.

Therefore, Arthur's sudden bestowal of such a heavy responsibility felt like a heaven-sent joy, and his mood became excited.

At the same time, he understood the gravity of the matter, and facing Arthur's final question, he immediately gave a firm reply.
