After listening to Old Bill's words, Ryan couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect that he just said a few words casually, which caused such a big reaction among the people below. However, Ryan did not object to cultivating new magicians. Yes, after all, the number of magicians on the mainland is still relatively small. It would be a wonderful thing if Iron Fist Castle could have some magicians, even the lowest ones.
Of course, Ryan is also very aware of the difficulty of training magicians. If he can train a few thousand at a time like ordinary warriors, I am afraid that the battle of Thunder God Fortress and the defense of the Imperial Capital will not have to be so hard. With the financial resources of the empire, With manpower, you can easily create tens of thousands of magic legions. A fireball cast by each person is enough to kill several times the number of enemies in an instant. Is there any need to use a large number of warriors to consume the combat power of the orcs
Old Bill looked at Ryan's face nervously. He knew that if he had said what he just said in front of the former lord Paul or Toby, he would have received an extremely severe punishment. However, Old Bill still had some understanding of Ryan. Yes, he knew that Ryan was a good person and would not use harsh criminal laws to deal with subordinates just to maintain the prestige of the so-called superior.
Not only Old Bill, but everyone in the Iron Fist Castle also knows that although Ryan is quite scary when he gets angry, in most cases Ryan's attitude towards his servants is very kind, even if a servant dares to say something. Ryan just laughed it off and never got angry because of this.
So when these servants heard that Ryan agreed to teach Barbara magic, they were all envious. On this continent, magicians are powerful and mysterious beings. For those who work hard for food and clothing, , becoming a warrior allows you to work as a mercenary and have the ability to support your family, but becoming a magician allows you to immediately jump to the aristocracy. Those are two completely different paths.
Ryan just made a little calculation in his mind and made up his mind to teach magic knowledge as soon as possible. His plan was not just to train some magicians, but more importantly, to give those people some hope and let them He is more supportive of his and Vivian's plan. If he really finds someone suitable for learning magic, Ryan will not hide his secrets and will definitely teach him everything he has.
"Okay, since you want to learn magic, I'll find a time in a few days." Ryan nodded and said, "But I want to make it clear beforehand that learning magic and becoming a magician are two different concepts. Anyone can learn magic, but whether you can realize the power of magic depends on your talent and hard work. The number of magicians has always been very rare, which also shows how difficult this path you long for is. "
When Old Bill saw that Ryan had agreed, he was immediately overjoyed. In addition to Barbara, he also had a grandson. However, while secretly happy, Old Bill also shouted loudly to the overjoyed servants: "Everyone, Please be quiet. The master has been very kind to us and promised to teach us magic. This is the greatest grace our Emilio family has received in the past 200 years. I want to say a few more words here. While you are happy, please give us your thoughts. I focus on the affairs I am responsible for and must not delay the master's great steps to revive our Emilio family."
Ryan did not stay to listen to Old Bill's instructions to the servants. He turned around and walked to the recruit training ground not far away. In the past month, Moses and his 6 companions began to train Vivian's new recruits. 1,000 young people were trained. Since Moses and the others were not from the real army, they were only training those warriors in martial arts.
Vivian spends most of her time training soldiers. After all, this is the foundation of her future. As a mercenary, Vivian knows nothing about soldier training, but fortunately she has With the existence of Ryan, although Ryan is not a soldier, he has been exposed to military camps in the Thunder God Fortress and the Imperial Capital, and he can barely be regarded as having a little knowledge.
Under Ryan's planning, Vivian focused on training these recruits to obey the leader and their own discipline. Through constant repetition every day, Vivian slowly left a mark in the minds of these recruits. They are The warriors of the Emilio family fight to protect their families. Vivian is their lord, and they must obey Vivian's orders unconditionally.
Of course, Moses understood the meaning of Vivian's actions. He carefully restrained his subordinates behind his back and tried not to interact with the recruits after training them, so as to prevent Vivian and Ryan from misunderstanding that he wanted to seize military power. This is not how noble Moses' character is. , but he knew that even if he really fully mastered these 1,000 warriors, it would be meaningless. With Ryan's power, he could destroy them with just a move of his fingers, and these warriors are all people of the Emilio family. How could they give up their lords and choose a few mercenaries from other places as their loyal subjects
When Ryan walked into the recruit training ground, the recruits were divided into several groups to receive training from Moses and several of his men. Nancy led two companions to train a group of warriors to use long swords and daggers; Nigel led The other two warriors taught another group of warriors how to use spears and cooperate in combat; while the group in charge of Moses sat neatly in several rows and watched Moses personally teach them the fighting skills.
Seeing Ryan slowly walking over, Vivian, who was standing on the sidelines for inspection, immediately went up to meet him. In a few words, he briefly reported the current situation of the recruit training to Ryan, and Ryan also reported that he had just been in the blacksmith shop. I told Vivian what happened there.
When Vivian learned that Ryan planned to teach magic on a large scale, she was stunned at first, and then immediately became ecstatic. She did not expect that Ryan's move would immediately turn the Iron Fist Castle into a place like the Imperial Capital Magic Academy, where a large number of magicians could continue to emerge. Magicians come out, but after all, the entire Emilio family has tens of thousands of people. Even if they choose just one out of ten thousand, they can train a few magicians. This will only benefit Vivian and the Emilio family. Otherwise, Not to mention, the loyalty of these magicians alone is worthy of trust.
Ryan didn't know what Vivian was thinking about now. He was thinking about Vivian's words in his head, and at the same time whispered: "A team of 50 people, 1,000 people is 20 teams, well, each team has one captain and one deputy captain." There are 500 people in a squadron, and there must be someone who serves as the squadron leader and deputy squadron leader. You also need to have a small team as personal guards. It takes almost a month of training. Have you selected these personnel?"
Vivian suppressed her joy and answered Ryan's words: "It's almost the same. The first one is absolute loyalty. If your family doesn't live in Iron Fist Castle, you won't be selected. Old Bill will help me check it. It should be No problem. In addition, their martial arts, temperament, etc. have been taken into consideration. However, these recruits are obviously a little pessimistic in mood now. After all, there are only 1,000 of us here and they have only undergone one or two months of training. But it turns out that Those 3,000 family warriors are elites who have been trained for many years, and even those elites were wiped out, so these new recruits naturally have little confidence."
