The imperial envoys will not leave immediately. Salin also needs to choose the envoys carefully and communicate with Archmage Tiffany. His Majesty the Emperor definitely wants to sign more than just a secret agreement. In addition to asking Salin to send troops There are many small things that need to be discussed privately by both parties. Www!QUanbEn-xIAoShUo!comIn addition, Salin will also send an envoy who will be stationed in Holy Rock City. This person is not easy to choose.
The pirates who have followed Saleen the longest are loyal enough, but unfortunately these people have little talent. Not even the nobles who came to join him. Salin had rewarded all the reliable nobles, and his whole family was in Metatrin City. Salin did not fully understand the rest of the nobles.
In the end, Salin decided not to rush, and he planned to let Baron Piak do this. Baron Piak's deep forest land had long been taken over by Salin. The reward given to Baron Piak has also been implemented. Although this baron is a little less capable, he doesn't know Salin's secret, so even if he is bribed, nothing will happen.
Wait for Salin to arrange a few cronies around Baron Piyak, and then let Baron Piyak take up his post. Pi Shik's child has been trained as a magic apprentice by Salin, so the baron will naturally have some scruples.
When the matter was discussed with Piyak, there was nothing he could refuse. Salin directly promoted him to the second-class viscount. When he leaves office and returns from Holy Rock City, he will be the first-class viscount. If his son could become an official magician and gain Salin's trust, Salin wouldn't mind making him a hereditary earl.
Tiffany and Steve " "Yah'! . ',. He was an eighth-level mage. During this period, he secretly traded a lot of things with Saleen. Di,...':. ↑. " She is very old. On the surface, she is only in her thirties, but in fact she is over a hundred years old. " ' 'Ten Shang', Ni is really only in her twenties. She usually pretends to be a white-robed mage. She is The emperor's personal preferences were not directed at Duke Balder.
Tiffany was relatively restrained because she was a royal mage, while Stephanie was completely the emperor's personal mage and had no scruples at all. Salin got a lot of information about Holy Rock City from her. Stephanie expressed her affection for Salin and said that after returning, she and the emperor would find a way to get what Salin wanted.
What does Salin want? What he was thinking about was the warehouse in the palace. Saleen knew that the royal palace in Holy Rock City was not the headquarters of the Glucos family, but the collection inside was extremely rich. What Salin wants are copies of all the drawings inside.
The Glucos royal family has a large number of magic equipment blueprints, most of which are thrown in the corner, waiting to gather dust.
For this reason, Salin privately promised Stephanie to increase the magic core deal with Ojarvis to 200,000 magic cores, and he would provide another 100,000 level 4 magic cores in exchange for food.
Saleen needs a lot of food, because Elinor provided him with an elf formula that "can make food into an elf pill. If you take one, you will not be hungry for three days. To make this elf pill, the cost is , but it can supply the soldiers for five days. It is a disadvantage, but the soldiers carrying this pill can reduce the logistical burden.
This kind of pill is also available in the Mels continent. It is very expensive and the military will not promote it at all. One pill like this can cost a soldier almost three months of consumption. This kind of pill is used by ladies in Qin Yin to lose weight.
The most important thing is that if food is stored in a magic warehouse, it will also consume magic cores. The nutrition will gradually deteriorate, and when it is made into magic pills, the consumption will approach zero infinitely. In the elven plane, elves only eat a small amount of fruits and vegetables every day, and they rely entirely on this pill to maintain their physical strength. Only low-level elves can eat three meals a day like humans.
Back then, humans were so powerful that they basically didn't consider logistical issues during plane battles. A powerful human could create a space that could be torn apart by hand at any time to take out the materials inside. Therefore, the pills of the elves were meaningless to the humans back then.
By the time humans need this pill, the connection between the planes has been lost. Later magicians based on their memories, the pills they imitated were of extremely poor quality, which are now the so-called weight loss pills and are not used by any military.
The soldiers of the Royal Swordsman Battalion will carry a bag with them, which means they are prepared. It is better to use this as military ration than to waste it.
However, less than double the consumption, considering the logistics and transportation issues, it is equivalent to saving a lot.
Of course, Salin also had something to bribe the two magicians, namely the magic wand materials he got from Joey - the divine mulberry and the ghost oak. It would take not hundreds of years, but thousands of years, to grow these two plants to the point where they could be used to make magic wands. Both of them knew that Joey was there, but they could only drool and Joey would not pay attention to them.
Salin wanted various alchemy blueprints in the palace of Holy Rock City, so of course he had to give them something in exchange. What Salin promised was five million alchemical arrowheads. Moreover, Saleen gave a sample. The core of these five million alchemical arrowheads is slightly soft bronze, and the outside is made of alchemy and added with World of Warcraft shell material. One such arrowhead can probably be used dozens of times. The effect of destroying demons is average, but it is still very effective against the heavy armor of warriors.
Salin originally planned to equip his army with this kind of weapon. He had already produced more than four million arrowheads. Now he was pressed for time and could finish them before Tiffany left.
What Salin lacked most was the hard shell of the monster. The red krill he caught had a body shell as hard as metal except for the spear spines. It is difficult to refine the spear spine of red krill, but it can be attached to metal after the shell is melted.
If this kind of arrow is enchanted by a magician, it becomes a one-time consumable, but it also has the effect of breaking magic. If it is not enchanted by a magician, it is just sharper than a steel arrow and can break through ordinary heavy armor.
After the test, Stephanie was very satisfied with this equipment. Of course, Holy Rock City can produce such arrows, and Alchemy City also sells them. Unfortunately, the cost is too high and it is impossible to sell them for millions. Salin took out five million pieces at a time, which was of great significance to the war in Garulan. Even Prince Sephiroth could not refuse.
Saleen was also proud of himself. Creatures like red krill were so cute. They had magic cores and spear thorns. Their shells could also be used to make equipment, and their meat could be fed to the Brontosaurus.
No wonder Alchemy City dominates one side. Even Holy Rock City doesn’t want to offend. The resources in the sea are too abundant. Whoever controls the oceans controls the entire continent.
Holy Rock City is also well aware of Metatrin City's hunting on the sea. However, it is impossible for Holy Rock City to come and destroy it, otherwise you will have to buy high-priced items in Alchemy City. The transaction between Metatrin City and the Emperor allowed His Majesty the Emperor to save more than half of the money.
In mid-July, the envoys returned, and Salin arranged a grand farewell ceremony. This time, he sent a battalion of troops to escort the envoys back. This battalion of troops could legitimately pass through Phoenix. The magicians in the army had to record magical images and draw maps along the way.
Saleen also had a deal with Prince Sephiroth, so he dared to do this. Prince Sephiroth acknowledged his existence and wanted Saleen to completely block Alchemy City's sea route to the north. "From now on, all supplies in the north will be taken over by Holy Rock City. As for Alchemy City, they cannot be bought or sold by force." Prince Feros invested a lot of money in the name of the empire. Although he did not purchase the magic core, magic equipment materials, ores, wood, magic potions, etc. can be purchased at low prices from Metatrin City.
Prince Sephiroth also wants to build a navy in Lianyun City to secretly check and balance Alchemy City to avoid destroying his business. The prince's business was conducted in the name of the empire and was mainly used to cultivate his own power. The northern nobles mostly focused on the emperor, and the prince did not want to fight for them. However, the southern nobles did not even listen to the emperor's words. Prince Sephiroth had to win over some of them and attack others.
Saleen was happy to be able to temporarily reconcile with the prince. If the confrontation continued, he did not want to be sniped by the Golden Sword Master at any time. Unless he never leaves Metatrin City, Xing Ze has such an enemy, which is more terrifying than fighting against a ninth-level magician.
The nobles of Metatrin City were somewhat at a disadvantage, but fortunately, Saleen allowed them to lend a hand in the middle, which also saved them from occupying working capital. These nobles could also use the money for other businesses. Salin himself was busy preparing to build a mercenary group.
In Elinor's plan, Salin also wanted to form a mercenary group. The existence of this mercenary group was to avoid some troubles. For example, if you enter Phoenix or Garulan, if you are Salin's regular army, you will have to face some questions. The mercenary group is different. As long as there is a hiring party, they can go anywhere.
The name of the mercenary group is very simple, it is called Metatrin Mercenary Group, and it is registered here in Salin. The size of the mercenary group is 20,000 people. Outside of 20,000 people, they are not considered regular mercenaries, they are just auxiliary soldiers. Salin agreed to send 50,000 troops and would continue to recruit more troops.
His regular army was extremely strict in recruiting soldiers. Salin still relaxed some requirements for mercenaries. The elites of a battalion are recruited directly from the regular army, and their secret treatment is no different from before. This is selling sheep over dogs. The remaining auxiliary soldiers were recruited again. Even so, Saleen's auxiliary soldiers and equipment will not be inferior to any noble's private soldiers.
Salin quickly recruited 30,000 people, and there was still a shortfall of 20,000 people, which could definitely be made up within a few months. Garulan is in a state of chaos. The original population of tens of millions has dropped sharply to a few million, and they have all gone to Qin Yin and Phoenix. The young and strong among these people can be drafted into the army.
Salin's idea was to have his ten battalions take turns training in the mercenary group, so that his army could grow stronger in the flames of war. Soldiers who do not experience war will never become a strong army. . . mF! ~!
