The demon-hunting spider's abdomen is now inlaid with a mixed-color crystal, which is only a temporary replacement. WWw.QUanbEn-xIAoShUo.CoMSalin added a spiritual brand and immediately had a spiritual connection with the puppet.
A magic circle appeared in Salin's mind. This magic circle had simple lines, and Salin even quickly deduced the magic principle using Figaro's formula. It's just that underneath this magic array, there is an extremely complex composite magic array superimposed. This magic array is used to inspire illusions.
Using the power of the magic core, after activating a simple magic circle, the actions of the demon-hunting spider can be controlled, and the compound magic circle is opened at the same time, releasing the illusion.
Compared with the fact that the Ferletts designed it this way because their levels were too low, it was quite difficult to manufacture.
After controlling the demon-hunting spider and making a few moves, Saleen put the spider into the demon ring. It turns out that activating an illusion requires mental energy. When the mental energy is insufficient, the illusion cannot be activated.
"It's really good." Salin was convinced. This puppet is easy to operate and can maximize the demon-destroying effect of the demon-hunting spider. Moreover, all the magic circles are refined inside, and the materials are not damaged. If you don't like it in the future, you can re-refine it.
"Salin, I heard that you want to do business with the Clyde family and represent the Bitter Water County?" Aini's mother had a gentle voice and looked at Salin as if she were her own child.
"My name is Lanny, you can call me Auntie Lan."
"Yes, the princess founded the country and wanted to expand trade."
"Salin, after Ani becomes a magician again, he will not deal with the family business..."
"Aunt Lanny, I was forced to do this. I have no choice but to owe you a favor."
"That's good. Masters shouldn't care about these mundane things. Concentrating on cultivation is the right path."
"Yes." Salin felt warm in his heart after being taught a few words.
"Salin, this is for you." Ferret took out a book and gave it to Salin, saying: "These are some business notes. You can use memory magic to write them down. Business matters are less troublesome than magic and waste less time. On top of this.”
Lanny patted Salin on the shoulder: "Go and see the count. You can come to us when you come to the imperial capital in the future. At that time..."
Then you might be free, Saleen thought. Fortunately, they didn't fall out with Aini. Both of them are strong men. There are probably many such people in the Clyde family. A single thought of kindness allowed me to gain such two backers.
The Ferletts were a little apologetic. The two of them had caused huge losses to the family, and their personal property had been compensated. Now they had nothing to give to Salin. They can trust anyone who can let Aini deliver the badge. This badge has Aini's spiritual imprint on it, and it was definitely not stolen by Salin.
Salin was a guest at the Earl's Mansion. In the palace, Emperor Qin Yin was convening a meeting with his ministers.
"After the expedition, the crown prince is responsible for the internal affairs of the imperial capital, and the prince is assisting him. The war on the front line is urgent, and I can't wait any longer. Twenty thousand troops have been invested in the border military towns to eliminate the black magicians. In the middle of July, it is the day of God's descent. The Tanggulas Empire We must send troops at that time to conquer. Things are different from what we thought. Qin Yin must control the war within the Galulan Principality."
"Your Majesty, what are Yunliu Empire's plans?"
The emperor took a look and saw that the person speaking was the Imperial Finance Minister. "Trade is business as usual and iron prices will not increase."
The Minister of Military Affairs said helplessly: "What about jointly sending troops?"
There is high-quality iron ore in Yunliu, and the Qin Yin Empire has been purchasing large quantities of it. This does not mean that the Qin Yin Empire does not have iron mines, but Qin Yin attaches great importance to agriculture, and the mines have always been in the hands of the royal family and are not heavily exploited. It was impossible for Yunliu to take advantage of the war to make a fortune. At most, the emperor would open the mines and the price of iron would be stabilized. The Minister of Finance asked about the joint dispatch of troops. The Emperor answered lightly, and the Minister of Military Affairs had no choice but to speak bluntly.
"If Yunliu doesn't send troops, won't we, Qin Yin, stop fighting?" the emperor scolded.
Seeing that all the ministers were speechless, the emperor had no choice but to say: "Qin has more than a thousand hereditary nobles and hundreds of millions of people. When the country was founded, the land was only a thousand miles away and the population was only one million. What's wrong with you now? You are afraid of the cavalry of the Tanggulas Empire. Or do you want to believe in the Lord of Glory?”
The ministers were even more speechless. The Tanggulas Empire had fierce cavalry, but Qin Yin had more magicians. As for fear, no one in the hall was afraid. Believe in the Lord of Light? In areas controlled by the Holy See, the power of the nobility was extremely weakened. In the Tangula Empire, even the coronation of the emperor required the approval of the Pope.
What fun does such a nobleman have
The Holy See has a huge industry, and its annual tax revenue is comparable to that of the Tangulas Empire. If the Holy See comes to attack, even if they surrender, everyone's property will be reduced by half immediately. Not to mention the many powers the Holy See has can drive people crazy.
"Your Majesty, even if Yunliu doesn't help us, he won't help the Holy See. The one we need to be wary of is Skochenya. I heard that the Holy See already has a foundation in the north of Skochenya and is instigating a war with us." Sephiroth The prince said worriedly.
"Skochenya..." The emperor did not continue, thinking of Salin's words. The large mercenary groups are all in Scotia, which is a force that is not inferior to the elite of the empire. These mercenaries work for money and are far from loyal. If they are bribed by the Holy See, they will indeed be a big trouble.
"Is there any news in the Principality of Rhine?"
"No, there are still heavy troops stationed at the border to guard against the infiltration of black magicians."
"Heavy troops?"
"The Grand Duke of the Rhine has two swordsman battalions and about 50,000 mercenaries." Sephiroth was in charge of external military affairs and had already figured out the military situation near the Principality of Garulan.
"Seventy thousand people, including auxiliaries, will exceed 100,000. Rex, can you deal with these people?"
The twelve Dukes all looked at Rex, and Rex said calmly: "I don't have enough troops for a head-on confrontation. But it's not difficult to defeat them."
Rex did not brag. Her swordsman camp was already full of strong men. There might not be a few swordsmen, but there were more swordsmen than swordsmen. These ten thousand men were worth the twenty thousand swordsmen of the Grand Duke of the Rhine. What's more, the emperor rewarded her with countless weapons and armor, and with her own accumulation over the years, it was possible to expand the army to 30,000 as long as there were people.
Kushui County also has an advantage, it has strong cohesion, and this cohesion only refers to magicians. In the past ten years, Kushui County has trained dozens of great magicians. Although these great magicians are not in Kushui County, they will come back when Rex calls them. Coupled with hundreds of low-level mages and thousands of apprentices, Kushui County already had the capital to establish a country.
"Okay, I promise you to have ten battalions. The soldiers will be recruited by themselves. If they lack weapons and armor, they can be allocated from the imperial treasury. When I go to the west, I will always have unrest with these 100,000 Rhine Principality troops behind me. You can send two A battalion is stationed in Garulan to guard the Rhine for me."
The ministers all changed their expressions. Ten battalions were composed of 100,000 people. Even the prince only has 10,000 soldiers available in normal times. This power is too great, but no one refutes it. It is always inappropriate for the emperor to go on an expedition with hidden dangers behind him. The Dukes here are only qualified to command ten thousand soldiers. Why send private soldiers to help? This is too distressing. After all, the conflict with the Holy See is still far away. If the Holy See comes knocking, everyone will not mind fighting to the death.
No one thought that the emperor's expedition would fail, and Qin Yin's confidence was reflected at this moment. During this expedition, nearly three thousand low-level mages arrived in the imperial capital. For these poor mages, it was a god-given opportunity to kill the holy men of the Holy See and make a fortune.
Low-level mages are not very capable of fighting alone. A dozen swordsmen can kill a first-level mage. If there are enough swordsmen, a third-level mage is nothing. But thousands of low-level mages gathered together can provide support for more than two swordsman battalions.
This is Qin Yin’s unique feature—the mage camp. With ten swordsmen for each low-level mage, that is quite a terrifying combat capability. Moreover, Qin Yin not only had many mages, but the folk customs were also very tough. Among the auxiliary soldiers were not only farmers, but also many shabby swordsmen, and even one or two swordsmen occasionally.
According to Salin, these auxiliary soldiers are as strong as small mercenary groups.
Seeing that the ministers no longer objected, the emperor was relieved. Rex founded the country, and if he had 100,000 soldiers, he could annex Garulan. Several principalities controlled by Qin Yin are now politically corrupt. Without the support of the Qin Yin Empire, they would have collapsed long ago. Rather than letting it collapse, it would be better to take back the royal family of Glycos.
Sephiroth sighed secretly. After the war subsided, Rex's county might cause internal conflicts within Qin Yin again. But now that things have come to this, I can only guard the imperial capital well and don't let outsiders take advantage of me.
What he wants to protect is the glory of the Glycos royal family.
It's a pity that his two sons are not living up to expectations, and neither one is a magician. Otherwise, why would the emperor only favor Rex
"In this case, in three days, I will personally conquer Garulan. Sephiroth..."
"exist."
"I'll leave it to you to take care of the imperial capital." Emperor Qin Yin said a little seriously. The crown prince had just recovered from a serious illness, and his knowledge and strength were not enough to control the House of Lords. It would be great if Rex could be made crown prince. Now I can only count on this younger brother.
"Your Majesty, for the glory of the empire." Sephiroth stood up, put his hand on his chest, and saluted respectfully.
In the main hall, twelve dukes and more than thirty marquises all stood up and faced Emperor Qin Yin and said: "For the glory of the empire."
Emperor Qin Yin looked at the ministers in front of him and thought, do you really remember the glory of the empire? The dream of the Glycos family is to unify the continent of Mels and become the fifth dynasty. If you still remember this dream and the glory of the past, how could you let the continent be divided for thousands of years
No matter what the astrologer said, this time, I was going to act on my own will!
