...As long as the mercenaries abide by their contracts. www!QuanBen-XiaoShuo!COm Sir. If there are not enough troops. We are ashamed to hire a few medium-sized mercenary groups, or simply let the mercenary groups come to station. This is an emerging city. The mercenary groups will not even charge you. They only need you to provide a station and they will help the city. Assist in defense. "Zola explained to Salin.
Salin said to Zola: "This city is mine, and I will not leave security issues to anyone I can't trust. Contracts" are sometimes not binding. "
"However, even if we collect 60,000 people for a year, we can only raise half at most." Zola listened to Salin's analysis from the beginning and knew that it was almost impossible to recruit troops in a place like this. Almost all the indigenous people here were captured by the Holy See, and all Salin could rely on was money.
Moreover, the city will be expanded, and two huge fortresses will be built in the north of the city, forming a chair corner to stabilize the city defense. This is both a commercial city and an important military town, and eventually there will be more than 100,000 soldiers stationed there.
Salin sighed: "Don't mention the hiring of mercenaries. Let's do this first. Conan, you continue to recruit tribesmen. How many people are willing to settle in the city now?"
"Sir, during the time you left, there were already close to a thousand people," Conan answered seriously. The barbarians were almost slaughtered by the Holy See in the north. Among the remaining people, except for some stubborn elders, most of them They all ran to Saleen's city, not wanting to be completely destroyed.
"Aini, your five hundred swordsmen
"They are my private soldiers." Aini replied happily. He can bring so many people. In addition to family support, there are other factors. In fact, he bought these people with money from others. There are also some who are followers of my father in his early years. These five hundred swordsmen are all the strength around Aini.
"I want to form a mercenary group and register it in Kushui County. They can join the mercenary group so that they can control the external forces." Salin thought to himself. After all the forces from Sreig Island are moved here, I will Don't worry about this anymore. Hey, teacher, teacher, when can you bring people here
"No problem!" Aini gritted his teeth. He was betting that Salin would have a bright future. If Saleen and his city were destroyed, he would lose all his money. If Salin succeeds and withstands the Holy See's attack, then his. Cities will bring great wealth. Obviously, Salin wanted to have only one mercenary group in this city, and the backbone of this mercenary group was the five hundred private soldiers around Aini.
"Daniel, you can form the first battalion as soon as you take the lead. Now I can only give you two hundred men. The rest will be supplemented by the undead. Zola, you can form the second battalion. I can't give you any personnel. You can decide for yourself. The solution, when you are short of money, just ask me. Jupiter, you can form the third battalion. Next spring, after we can go to sea, I will continue to add strength to you. Passatero, Cornuco, you two. The mage battalion will be formed as the fourth battalion. I will figure out a way for the remaining two battalions myself."
"Sir," Passatero and Cornuco hesitated. After all, there were two fifth-level magicians from Srig Island in this room.
Saleen knew what the two people meant, and said to the two fifth-level magicians: "Kridian, Frans, you two, after Rex comes back, you have to return to the fleet with Basta.
"Yes, Fu Jiang." The two fifth-level magicians were extremely happy. Mastering the fleet was obviously more popular than on the mainland.
"Sir, what about me?" Conan the Barbarian asked uneasily.
"You wait until the Caucasians arrive to form the fifth battalion. Don't worry about this." Salin thought to himself that the fifth battalion should be controlled by Sika and could not be left to Conan to manage. But Sikka doesn’t look like he’s made to be a general. I also have to worry about finding a qualified commander. Both barbarians and Caucasians have strong fighting capabilities, but without a good leader, they are nothing more than a piece of loose sand.
Saleen clearly remembered the charge of the swordsman battalion under Rex. The same number of barbarians were definitely no match.
"Salin, we can recruit some soldiers in the Rhine Principality." Aini mentioned next to him. suggestion.
"How to say?"
"The Rhine people are brave and warlike. Most of them are not engaged in production. In fact, many of the mercenaries in the Scotia Empire are Rhine people. As long as you spend a small amount of money, someone will come to join you. Serve as a private soldier for the nobles, It’s better to go to Skochina as a mercenary.”
"What about the Grand Duke of the Rhine?" Salin was a little worried. The Archduke of the Rhine is not as weak as the Archduke of Phoenix, and this kind of thing can easily anger him.
"Don't you want me to form a mercenary group? I'll go to Perpus, set up a garrison there, then recruit people from the Principality of the Rhine, and bring them back here from Didipus. The Grand Duke of the Rhine will have nothing to worry about. At that time, those who are willing to be mercenaries will follow me, and those who are not willing to be mercenaries will follow me.
.
"The Ni Corps must be registered in Kushui County. This matter can only be done after Rex comes back." Salin agreed with Aini, but did not make preparations immediately. The registration place represents the ownership of a mercenary group. Wherever a mercenary group is registered, it actually has insurance
More than 80% of the mercenary groups on the mainland are registered in Skochina. Once a war breaks out, these mercenaries will become Skochina's strength. So Salin didn't trust the mercenary group. Because before this, there was no mercenary group registered in Kushui County. When the war broke out, there would be no mercenary group fighting for Kushui.
This is the reason for the current situation. The newly built city of Salin is too remote. Even if Kushui County wants to recruit soldiers, it doesn't take much effort. Just make a magic announcement. Within a few months, tens of thousands of swordsmen would join the army.
But if Salin built the city in the hinterland of Qin, not to mention that the council of Holy Rock City would not allow it, even the surrounding nobles would raise troops to conquer it. Although Qin Yin is vast, the good areas have long been divided up by the nobles, who want to get a foothold. This is simply not possible.
Everyone started to do things separately, and Salin started his training. Many things must wait for Rex to come back before we can continue, such as the officers, equipment, training, etc. needed to build the army. Fortunately, it is already the end of the year, Rex may return to the city base in April, and Salin does not have much time to wait.
Since the three kings had been taken care of, Salin sent two fifth-level magicians, Crepoian and Frans, to meet Rex's men at the border of Phoenix. Leave the rest to Nellis.
This time, Salin did not practice step by step as before, but specialized in water-flame alchemy and crystal fingers. Salin's life had been in danger in recent battles, and he had to increase his combat power as soon as possible. Fortunately, Water Flame Alchemy itself is a practical magic. Very useful for understanding elements. Crystal Finger is a close-range magic with powerful destructive power. Although Salin has many high-level warriors around him now, what he trusts most is his own magic.
Salin no longer has any worries about magicians of the same level. What he fears most is being approached by assassins or sword masters, so he wants to truly learn these two magics. Especially the crystal finger, within ten meters. Invincible.
According to the magic notes left by Rafael, Crystal Finger is an advanced magic with a basic level of six. Salin's special physique lowered the level of this magic by one level, and he could learn this magic at level five.
However, this mutation is not completely successful. If Salin learns Crystal Finger at level six, he can release this magic twenty-four times in a row, but now he releases Crystal Finger at level five. His magic string is only enough to be used twice.
Saleen can now cast level six magic. Two can also be released. It can be seen that the mutation of this crystal finger is not successful. Fortunately, Crystal Finger is an advanced magic. Salin can continue to increase the power of Crystal Finger after promotion. At that time, the number of times the fifth-level Crystal Finger can be released will increase, and Salin is not sure how many times it will be.
Before getting this magic, Salin didn't pay much attention to it. What he valued most was the magic of water cutting. Especially after refining the gourd, water cutting hardly consumes Salin's magic string, but only consumes his spirit. Power, and the life force in the water.
The vitality of the water flow can be replenished in the gourd, and Salin's spiritual power far exceeds his rank. So Saleen loved that magic. However, although the water cutting force is powerful, it cannot hurt the real strong person beyond the level.
At least Saleen knew that water cutting was ineffective against magicians unless he himself advanced to become a magician. Moreover, the water flow in the gourd is slightly slow when released, and it is definitely not instantaneous. The several times he was in danger were all related to these reasons. So Saleen paid more attention to the crystal finger. Although this magic consumes a lot of magic strings.
How strong are crystal fingers? Even a strong man like Rafael created this magic. He also had to rely on the power of magic equipment to bear the magic backlash.
Salin was in his room, with pieces of pure white stones piled in front of him. These stones were used to build drainage facilities, and holes were supposed to be drilled in the middle. Now Salin practices crystal fingers every day. It just so happens that I can do this job by the way.
On the index finger of Salin's left hand, there was Rafael's crystal ring. He didn't recite any incantations, nor did he need any magic gestures. The index finger of Salin's left hand suddenly turned transparent below the ring.
Salin knew that this was not true transparency. Instead, the water element forms countless facets on the index finger, transmitting the scenery behind the finger to the facet in front of the finger exactly. If it is really the finger itself that has become transparent, then at least the phalanges inside the finger should be visible.
Salin gently turned his wrist and held his index finger a little empty. Between his index finger and more than a hundred stones. There is a faint green light. This green light is not thick, just as thick as the index finger of Salin's left hand. But when the green light hits the stone, the center of the stone. A hole the size of a bowl appeared silently.
