Fen Xiong carried his huge body and came to Salin's side. wWW,QUanbEn-xIAoShUo,comHe didn't have any affection for the mage, so he sat down directly next to Salin.
"I know you." Bao Xiong smiled.
"I know you too." Salin also smiled, and there was a sense of closeness in the violent bear's eyes. This big guy, apart from being a bit intimidating because of his muscular body, is actually easy to get along with. As long as you don't compete with him.
"That female bodyguard of yours, I want to compete with her again." Bao Xiong said seriously.
"Oh? No need. You have made great progress, but you are not her opponent yet." Salin did not beat around the bush. Sikka gained some abilities of a combat priest. It may not be powerful for a magician, but the spirit In terms of attack, he is no worse than a magician. Even in terms of pure strength, Sika can still suppress the violent bear.
When two people compete in martial arts, even without weapons, Sikka can easily knock down this strong man, the violent bear, after a mental shock.
"Ah?" Bao Xiong was a little disappointed. He didn't realize that Salin was lying to him. The princess said that Master Salin is a person who can be trusted.
"Don't compare yourself among yourself. There will be an attack tonight, so you must compare. Let's see who can kill more people."
"You think so too? I just feel uneasy and feel that there will be danger." Bao Xiong's words made Salin stunned. This person, who had only practiced sword energy for a few years, actually developed telepathy that only a sword master could have.
That's an unusually keen sense of danger. Bao Xiong doesn't know how to analyze and judge, but he can know in advance that something will happen tonight.
For people with this ability, judgment will be wrong, but intuition will not be wrong. It is said that he has reached the level of Golden Sword Master, even in battle. You can also avoid fatal danger at any time.
This is equivalent to the ability of a magician to use Figaro's formula to calculate thousands of times faster at any time. It is something that even magicians would envy.
After Salin absorbed the ability in the goddess's necklace, he could also calculate many dangers, but it was definitely much slower than his intuition. Used in combat. Can only be used for calculation objects.
Moreover, this kind of calculation consumes a lot of mental energy. An ordinary great magician would have to meditate for a while to recover.
The mental power of the violent bear must be very special, if he does not learn swordsmanship, but practices magic. There will definitely be some success. Destiny is a very strange thing. A person's talent is good. If you don't have the opportunity, you will live a busy life. Nothing is done. If he hadn't met Rex and his party, Bao Xiong would still be a rankless cook in the Holy Rock City Army.
Although he is still a cook now, his status is different. Rex is protecting him and he has hired a teacher to teach him swordsmanship.
"Mr. Salin, wait a minute." The violent bear suddenly stood up again, turned back to the carriage and retrieved his other weapon, placed it on the ground, and then sat next to Salin again.
"This is a long sword." It is very long, and the blade is about three meters long. Even if a person as tall as Bao Xiong, who is more than two meters tall, holds it in his hand, it looks very awkward.
"Single-edged horse sword!" Salin saw the black sword and recognized the murderous weapon.
The Fourth Dynasty once had an army of one hundred men, all armed with single-edged horse-cutting swords. This army of one hundred men was designed to break through the charge of cavalry, no matter how powerful the cavalry was. A hundred huge warriors standing there holding single-edged horse-cutting swords could easily block and crush the cavalry charge.
Salin was surprised to find that the single-edged horse-killing sword was an antique. It is definitely something left over from the Fourth Dynasty.
This kind of weapon weighs about 500 kilograms, and it is impossible for ordinary people to pick it up, let alone wield it to kill the enemy. This is a weapon made by Shen Xingtie. Some mithril was added to reduce weight.
The violent bear placed this weapon beside him, and even Salin felt much more at ease. No matter what kind of metal shield or magic shield the enemy has, they are all a joke in front of the single-edged horse-killing sword. The single-edged sword has only one natural attribute: tear. Although the violent bear is not a sword master yet, he is born with divine power and has such a powerful weapon. Saleen estimates that he can cut through the magic shield under the magician with one sword.
Rex is still luxurious enough. If Saleen gets this weapon, he will definitely smelt the material. Recraft other weapons. As long as Chenxing iron is smelted together with any kind of meteorite, it can become a weapon with the same effect.
She just doesn't know how many weapons like Rex there are. If she had a hundred of them, it would be a good way to deal with the cavalry.
Qin Yin now also has long-poled heavy knives and heavy infantry weapons for attacking cavalry. But this heavy sword is just made of fine steel and has no magical effect. The value is much worse than the single-edged horse-killing sword.
"Mr. Salin, can you give me one of your bone horses?" The violent bear chuckled. Somewhat embarrassed. Asking for something is quite embarrassing for him.
"You mean the skeleton war horse? That thing is undead. You are not a necromancer or a magician. Even if I give it to you, the skeleton war horse will soon run out of life."
The violent bear sighed sadly and said: "You don't know, this sword is heavier than my heavy hammer. If I hold it, I can only walk. The war horse will be crushed."
Among this group of people, only the violent bear was riding a monster. His war hammer also weighs more than 100 kilograms, which puts a greater burden on the war horse. An ordinary war horse can carry more than 400 kilograms of weight. In fact, it can be regarded as a kind of magical beast, with strange power hidden in its blood. If it is a galloping horse, it will never be able to withstand the power of heavy cavalry.
However, Bao Xiong's single-edged horse-cutting sword weighs more than 500 kilograms, and he himself weighs almost 300 kilograms, and this is without armor. If the violent bear were fully armed, it would probably weigh a thousand kilograms. Even if it were a skeleton war horse, it would probably be a bit difficult to carry him.
"Bear Bear, I will help you find a solution when you return to Metatlin City. There is no Necromancer around now."
The violent bear could only sigh. He had not been to Metatrin City for a long time, but he knew Daniel well. Seeing Danzoer riding an eighth-level undead like Picius, he immediately became envious.
Little did he know that the eighth-level Lu Ling would never let him ride. If he dared to touch Pixiu, Pixiu would burn his soul clean.
Not everyone can sign a contract with the undead. Although the mental power of the violent bear is powerful, it has no skills in using it and is not an opponent of the advanced undead at all.
Salin was not tired and sat at the entrance of the camp, chatting with the violent bear. Rex did not arrange a sentry, and the wilderness was silent except for the two of them. The starlight pressed down, making the earth look a little pale.
Saleen finally understood what Rex had been doing after so long, and she mobilized all her resources. Purchased a large amount of food and expanded the army. Kushui County incorporated twelve surrounding cities. The territory has been expanded dozens of times. Relying on her 20,000 swordsmen, Rex quickly defeated the surrounding nobles and gathered their soldiers.
Now the number of swordsman battalions under the control of Kushui County has expanded to six. The swordsman battalion Rex brought out this time is her old foundation, and they are all swordsmen who have followed her for many years.
Emperor Chanak had already determined the size of Bushui County before his death. Although Rex used force, it was allowed by law. What annoyed Sephiroth the most was that Emperor Chanak allowed Rex to expand his army to ten battalions of swordsmen and participate in the battle of the Garuda.
There is also a secret road from Kushui County to Jialulan. They are all mountain roads. This small road cannot be passed by the army, but Rex can send a team of two hundred people to infiltrate. Repeated training.
After gathering the nearby nobles, the number of common people under Rex's rule has exceeded one million, and the size of the county has taken shape. The territories of the nobles defeated by her were taken back and redistributed. And given the title again. These titles are rewards from the county king and have nothing to do with Holy Rock City.
But a population of one million can never support an army of 100,000 people. In that case, the country will collapse. Fortunately, the four newly established swordsman battalions are not elite, and their expenses are much less. Rex puts one. The elite swordsman battalion was transferred to Metatrin City. It is also to share the consumption.
Salin will also have to pay to support this swordsman camp in the future.
"So, Rex is out of money?"
"It's not a lack of money. I heard it's called capital turnover failure? Anyway, the princess can still sell some things now."
This is so! Saleen finally understood Rex's dilemma. The army is expanding so rapidly, no matter how small the investment is, it is still very stressful. A soldier's monthly salary is at least one gold coin. Not counting the investment in equipment, Rex now has six swordsman battalions, and the monthly military salary will exceed 100,000 gold coins. After all, officers' military salaries are higher.
Rex plundered a batch of weapons and armor in Wolf Fang Town, which could supplement the shortage of equipment. But soldiers need to eat, and this military pay and daily food consumption cannot be replaced by anything else.
No wonder Rex wants to buy wine. No matter what kind of wine, as long as he buys or sells it, he has to pay a high tax.
"Coming!" The violent bear pointed to the end of the horizon. Even if he didn't say anything, Salin still heard the undisguised sound of horse hooves.
It's actually a heavy cavalry? This thief is indeed in cahoots with the nobles.
humble!
Salin snorted heavily and looked up at the sky. There was a small black spot floating in the sky. It was a flying puppet. He never noticed it because it was flying too high. That height is already the limit of the flying puppet. If the weather is slightly bad, the flying puppet will be destroyed.
It's a pity that there is no alchemical crossbow at hand. At a height of one thousand meters, Saleen's magic cannot attack.
Originally, Salin thought that someone would make a sneak attack at night, but he didn't expect that the other party would confront him head-on. It seems that the thieves are very confident in their own strength!
As expected, they were a bunch of idiots, facing eight great magicians. He even mobilized heavy cavalry to attack. What is the difference between this and seeking death? Even if these heavy cavalry are built with huge sums of money and are equipped with magic armor, they cannot be the opponent of the great magician unless their numbers are accumulated to a certain level.
But heavy cavalry is a costly profession. Rex only had in his hands the heavy cavalry of two flag regiments.
The violent bear stood up, turned around and shouted: "Everyone is getting up to fight! Those bastards are here."
