Salin gave Ge Yi the task of organizing and training mercenaries. wWw.QUAbEn-XIAoShUo.CoM The ship of pirates he conquered is now the only one who can make a difference, and Salin can't help but sigh in his heart. I was too naive at the time to think that after training, those pirates would become a powerful army.
Saleen didn't have to worry about the training. In addition to Ge Yi, Daniel's subordinates were in charge of the management, while Eleanor only prepared and wrote the training plan.
What Salin wants to do is to prepare to build a city at the junction of the four countries. This city is the site of the Fourth War and must be built into a complex fortress. Shao Salin does not expect to attack, but only uses this place as a nail to prevent Rex and his army from losing too much. It is impossible for Saleen to copy Metatrin City, and the consumption of materials alone is not enough.
The construction of Metatrin City not only consumed white stones, but also a huge number of magic cores. Without the previous accumulation and the support of Jinrig Island, Salin would not have been able to build the Dante sequence at the head of the city.
Two great magicians from Sreig Island have been sent to inspect the geology and choose a location for building the city. Saleen is now mining white stone everywhere, and also ordered the alchemy factory to speed up the production of alchemical arrowheads.
The Metatrin mercenary group has no magicians. If they want to defend the city, in addition to the six-story magic tower, they must have a large number of alchemy crossbows and magic stone cannons. Otherwise, the enemy's strong men would fly over the city and kill them back and forth in the city, and there would be no point in guarding the main road.
Fortunately, the red krill brought back by Winged Skeleton was enough to cope with the situation. The production of armor is much slower. This is why Salin said he would not send troops until the end of the year. If the Principality of the Rhine launches its attack in advance, he will have no choice but to let the main army attack them head-on.
The mercenaries lacked armor, but His Majesty the Emperor secretly had five thousand armors brought over. This was definitely a big deal, but it was still not enough for Salin to equip the army. He was starting from scratch and had little savings, but he couldn't let the mercenaries wear the clothes they brought. Let's go to the battlefield with the armors that came. Not only are those armors of poor quality, but their appearance is also a mess.
In the end, Saleen couldn't wait any longer. He would send a large number of magicians to build the city without having to consider civilian issues like Metatlin. The city would be completely militarized, and it would be almost four months. In other words, in addition to the main force of the mercenaries, he has to train the remaining 40,000 soldiers within four months. Equipment must be in place as soon as possible.
So Salin moved all the equipment from his ten main regiments and distributed them to the mercenaries. The officers of the main regiment were unwilling and came to Salin one after another. Salin simply called all the officers at the first level of the flag regiment to the palace and explained the plan to everyone.
Seeing the magic model that Salin brought out, the officers went away happily, but Salin asked the magician to redesign the equipment of the ten main legions. Of course, these equipment were better than what they handed over, but they caused more trouble.
What is happier than the main army is the Metatrin mercenary group, especially the newly recruited mercenaries, who have never worn such good armor. Salin tried to increase the strength and reduce the weight of the equipment for his main army. After getting it from Qin Yin Fengguo, it can be regarded as the standard equipment for the main army. The quality of any part is comparable.
Each person has seven weapons and a complete set of marching equipment. One hundred people have a cart and a magic apprentice. This kind of person has no hope of becoming a magician as an apprentice, so he joins the army. Magic apprentices do not have magic strings, but can instead practice sword energy. They have more knowledge of magic potions and serve as doctors in the military.
In war, the wounded lose the most, and wound infection is the biggest killer of military attrition. With a magic apprentice carrying a large amount of potions, this loss will be minimized. This kind of thing even happened - some soldiers' hands and feet were cut off. After the battle, the magician used magic to reattach the soldiers' limbs, and after they were sent home, they were not disabled. Although I can no longer serve as a soldier, it does not affect my life.
Saleen has grasped the psychology of the soldiers. Even if one demon and apprentice is assigned among a hundred people, the morale of the soldiers has been greatly improved. In fact, low-level apprentices can only release super magic, and their combat effectiveness should not be overestimated.
The only thing missing was the war horses. Saleen couldn't buy many war horses at the moment, and Daniel couldn't leave. The number of skeleton war horses was limited, and he could only allocate a few to the officers. Salin wanted Aini to handle this matter, but Aini himself was preparing to become a magician, so it was impossible for him to go to war.
Fortunately, Salin's plan was not to capture the Rhine Principality immediately. If he wanted to capture the Rhine, not to mention 50,000 soldiers, even 500,000 might not be enough. Because behind Rhine is the powerful Scotia, it will be in vain if you can't hold it down. Salin wanted to build a big city that would scare everyone who passed by. Infantry is more useful than cavalry in defending a city.
The mercenaries were taken to North Town for training to defend the city. In Metatrin City, all the factories were working at full speed. They had to take care of the new city's defense equipment first, and then re-equip Salin's ten main legions with weapons.
Pasatro and Cornuco quickly returned to Metatlin City. The two of them had advanced to the sixth level of magicians. They relied on flying skills to get back and forth. If they walked, they would go from Metatlin to the Rhine border. It’s almost seven or eight thousand miles, and the only way to save by finding a small road is about a thousand miles. If you fly in a straight line, it will only be about five thousand miles. The round trip of two sixth-level magicians plus the exploration of the terrain would take half a month.
There are a total of six magic images brought back, three of which are planned for the future. Only three places at the border of Shen Kingdom are suitable for building a city.
The first one is located next to a plain, with mountains behind it. The second place is a depression at the bottom of a huge mountain. This depression is less than ten miles away, so the city cannot be built completely inside it. It is not big enough. The third place is a lake with a huge island in the center.
These magical images are all annotated. The two mage teams on Srig Island are obviously very proficient in building cities. They have even explored the underground water system. There is no possibility of earthquakes in these three places. It can be built as a city and has good geology. There will be no magical physics problems when building any building.
After thinking carefully, Salin chose the second place. Neither the first nor the third site met the strategic requirements of Salimbo. With mountains at its back, it's fine as a commercial city. The big island in the lake is best defended. Both of these are not deterrents. But building a city with a solitary peak at your back allows you to attack in all directions.
Now that the location has been selected and all the data has been listed, Salin recruited Eleanor to study the city's design plan. This solitary peak is extremely tall and stands out among the mixed hills and plains. The concave side of the mountain peak is entirely covered with red stones. From the sample analysis, it was not formed by volcanoes.
This red stone$! It is obviously not as good as the white stone of Metatrin City, but it is similar to granite and meets the standards for building a city. The most important thing about this isolated militarized city is the warehouse. Be sure to reserve enough food and water. Dozens of mages gathered together and began to design drawings, while Saleen analyzed the map.
One hundred and twenty miles to the northwest of this location is the Principality of the Rhine, and one hundred miles to the southwest is Garulan. Around the lonely peak behind, one hundred and eighty miles away, is Phoenix. Going straight south for more than two hundred miles is Chunyin.
Although it is adjacent to Shikoku, the terrain here is relatively flat, the surrounding mountainous terrain, and the roads in and out are limited. Because there are better roads whether heading north or east, the land here is not suitable for farming, but is instead barren. It is said that this place was a huge battlefield where black magicians caused rebellion, and hundreds of thousands of people died here. This is why no one wants to stay here.
Salin thought it was good, because the road to the northwest was not too bumpy. By mobilizing soldiers to build the road, a strategic passage to the Rhine could be opened. Towards the south, the road is narrow, to the southwest, the road is wide. It is difficult for Qin to attack directly here. He has to take a detour into Jialulan and go back, but it is easy to enter Phoenix.
The magicians studied for three days and designed a weird-looking city based on the topography of the lonely peak. Salin was attracted by this design at first sight. This design was exactly what he wanted.
To the west of the 1,000-meter peak, the recessed part of the mountain serves as a warehouse for the city. Build a huge castle two miles west of the mountain, and then build a similar-sized castle on both sides of the mountain. The three castles are connected by wide walls.
The castle on the front can accommodate 20,000 people, and the two sides can also accommodate 100,000 people. With the space surrounded by the city wall, the city can station 100,000 regular troops. Auxiliary troops can also be stationed numbering hundreds of thousands.
The area where Rex's army moves is further to the southwest, and is actually within the territory of Garulan. The location of Salin's fortification is only two hundred miles away, and reinforcements can be rushed in one day.
After making up his mind, Salin began to prepare materials on a large scale. This time, Nailisi had to go in person. Building a city would be very slow without the help of the undead and relying solely on humans. Unless all the work is done by magicians, cutting the mountain and digging out materials. Even then, thousands of puppets would have to be used, and Salin didn't have that many on hand.
While Salin was busy, the envoy regiment escorted by the Sixth Battalion encountered trouble.
Nobles of the Principality of Phoenix, rebellion
The cause of the incident is said to be because Rex occupied Mars City and Side Star City. In fact, the root cause lies with the envoys of Holy Rock City. The envoys from Holy Rock City passed through Phoenix with high profile, and Guderian City also sent a powerful army to escort them. There are rumors in Sun City.
Holy Rock City recognized the Metatrin Kingdom in the north in order to attack from both sides and completely annex Phoenix. So under the call of Sun City, the Phoenix people organized an army of 50,000 people, surrounded Mars City, and then used an army of 20,000 people to attack Side Star City.
The envoy group happened to be passing through Mars City, where Rex's five thousand troops were stationed. The battle inevitably broke out, and the 20,000 troops from Side Star City attacked the envoy group's army on the flank. . . mF! ~!
