Another advantage of having them join is that they understand the needs of the mercenary fleet better than the staff of the Eternal Night Lord, and the policies they develop are more acceptable to them when their conditions are combined.

Sure enough.

This mercenary program, which has the right to plunder freely, is very popular among the detachments of the East China Sea Fleet.

Seventy percent of them chose to accept this mercenary status and continue to stay in the fleet to fight.

There are also thirty percent, as Captain Shia Moore said, full of yearning for a relatively stable life on land, these people are mainly old, weak, sick and disabled, and some are dragged down by families.

If it weren't for the fact that they had just surrendered, they didn't know enough about the Eternal Night Commander, they were worried, and they didn't know what kind of life would be waiting for them if they accepted the full resettlement of the Eternal Night Commander, and the proportion of such people would only increase by one to two percent.

After three months of discussion, the Maritime Mercenary Act was finally finalized and approved, and it entered trial operation.

With this bill, the rest is much simpler.

According to the Act, the cuts of the cuts, the rewards of the rewards, the placements of the placements.

This law was not limited to the detachment led by Siamor and applied equally to the 17,000 landing force forced by the Eternal Night Army on the Danube.

Captain Shia Moore has priority to recruit them.

Anyway, Shiamor is led by a group of mercenaries, and for a short time, the Eternal Night Warlords don't need their loyalty, as long as they bring benefits.

Of the more than 17,000 prisoners, more than eighty percent chose to join Sia Moor.

They were more familiar with Siamore than the strange Eternal Night Lord, and it was more secure to follow him, and it was better to be a mercenary than a betrayal.

As for whether Shiamor has the ability to surrender them after arriving at the mercenary fleet.

No one on the side of the Eternal Night Warlords was worried.

In the past few months of resettlement work, Shia Moore has fully demonstrated his skills, this person is definitely a hero, can bend and stretch, the ability to adapt is one to one, and has a good personality.

Especially in a fleet that is adrift on the sea, it belongs to a closed circle, and even if the people above are half-hearted, there is nowhere to escape.

Soon, based on the East China Sea National Fleet, the adapted Night Army Leader Mercenary Fleet was freshly baked.

It consisted of one dreadnought-class schooner, two dreadnought-class schooners, eighteen Hurricane-class battleships, twenty-five wavebreaker-class battleships, and one hundred small dhows, with a total crew of more than 52,000 sailors.

Compared with the beginning of the surrender, the number of warships of various grades has increased slightly, which is the harvest of the captain of the Shia Moore fleet when he led the fleet to raid the ports of the East China Sea Kingdom, and the relatively complete ones were all adapted into the mercenary fleet.

However, in terms of small warships, a large number of them were streamlined, leaving less than 10%.

At the beginning, the East China Sea Kingdom was a mighty conquest of the Eternal Night Army, claiming to have 3,000 warships.

Purely to scare people.

Not to mention a Third Fleet, even if all the warships in the three seas of the entire Ashane Continent are included, there will be no 3,000 large warships of the upper grade.

The number of large warships in the East China Sea is no more than 200 at full capacity, and the rest are all indiscriminate dhows, most of which are warships and fishing boats of the islanders of the Great Bay Islands.

At the beginning, it was mainly for the purpose of going deep into the internal combat of the Danube Plain that they were collected and set out together.

In large-scale naval battles, they are of little use, and they are not even qualified as cannon fodder.

Not to mention the dreadnought-class behemoths, even in front of the Breaking Wave Level, they can only look up, and they will be smashed and crushed into the water in the blink of an eye.

Coupled with the new naval materials exchanged from the Eternal Night Commandery, the mercenary fleet's combat effectiveness skyrocketed.

In total, the mercenary fleet exchanged more than 230 artillery pieces from the Eternal Night Army.

These guns can be described as varied.

There were both regular shipborne guns, infantry guns, and even mortars with a dozen.

The origin of these cannons also varies.

There are not only test models, but also repairs, as well as defective products with problems at the factory, or eliminated products after process adjustment.

All in all, there are not a few good things that are serious.

This is something that both sides know very well.

The Eternal Night Warlord can't give the mercenary fleet too much, too good things as soon as he gets his hands on it.

At least they will ensure their own fleet of explorers, keeping the mercenary fleet under bay on all fronts.

Then there's the issue of price.

A brand new shipborne gun costs three times as much as this defective product.

The mercenary fleet is now mainly filled with quantity, and it is not too late to improve the quality when the quantity is popularized.

Even so, the mercenary fleet is still a treasure, and it is cherished from top to bottom, and it is eager to wipe it eight times a day.

There were more than 12,000 black powder shells and more than 5,000 black powder mines.

There are 35,000 people with basic knowledge and combat skills, of which the main ones are to operate artillery.

As for the special shells, Captain Shiamor was very greedy, but they were not on the exchange list, and no matter how much he tried to fight for them, the Eternal Night Commander refused on the grounds of insufficient contribution.

In the assessment of the Eternal Night Commander, the mercenary fleet used black powder shells against the fleet of the East China Sea Country, which was more than enough.

There is no need to risk the leakage of black technology in special shells and hand them over to the mercenary fleet.

As soon as the mercenary fleet was reorganized, it couldn't wait to take the initiative, and the target was naturally the East China Sea State.

In their eyes, the East China Sea Country is no longer their country, but a prey.

Only by tearing enough flesh and blood from their bodies can they grow stronger.

Less than half a year later, the flames of war were ignited again in the East China Sea.

This is destined to be a long war of attrition.

The reorganized mercenary fleet has certain advantages over the East China Sea Fleet, but it is not as obvious as the Explorer fleet.

Shia Moore also played relatively conservatively, using basically wolf pack tactics.

Spotting the weak point of the East China Sea Country, he rushed up to take a bite, never staying in the same place for more than half a week, accurately stucking the reaction time of the East China Sea Country fleet, and screaming at Stubin angrily, but there was nothing to be done.

Compared to the Eternal Night Commander, Captain Xiamoore knows the situation of the East China Sea Kingdom too well, not only knows their abilities in all aspects, but also knows where to fight, which will make them hurt and gain more.

The mercenary fleet turned into a super-large leech, firmly attached to the East China Sea Kingdom.

The more nutrients they absorb from the East China Sea Country, the more good things they can exchange for from the Eternal Night Leader.

On the contrary, the blood-sucking kingdom of the East China Sea is weaker.

Stubin tried to send people deep into the mercenary fleet to rebel against those who were still loyal to the East China Sea State, but as soon as he appeared, he was reported and hung on a mast to dry.

On the contrary, it was the captain of the Shia Moor, although he did not try to do so, but as the mercenary policy of the Eternal Night Commander spread, a steady stream of captains with warships and sailors escaped from the East China Sea and defected to the captain of the Shia Moore team.

To some extent, the mercenary policy of the Eternal Night Army Leader is broader and more tempting than that of the East Sea State.

In the process of their plundering, the East China Sea Kingdom has a very high commission, even if it brings its own warship and crew, it has to pay 30%.

On the mercenary side of the Eternal Night Army, the harvest belongs to the individual, but if you want the goods or services in the hands of the Eternal Night Army, you have to spend money to buy them.

The pricing on the side of the Eternal Night Commander is full of human nature, and the price of daily necessities such as life is not very high.

What was really expensive were those tools of war, especially shipborne artillery and black powder shells.

But there is a reason why they are expensive, they are not only unique, but also powerful enough.

The two are not at the same level at all.

On the one hand, it is thriving, and dominating the entire East China Sea can be basically expected.

On the one hand, the sun is setting, and I don't know where my future path is.

It is normal for people who are in it to choose the former for the sake of their own future.

This situation directly shook the foundation of the East China Sea State, and forced Stubin to adopt a high-pressure and terrorist policy to suppress defectors.

But this will cure the symptoms rather than the root cause, and if they don't reverse the situation as soon as possible, it will be a matter of time before the mercenary fleet led by Shia Moore is torn apart.

This situation was basically predicted when the Eternal Night Army leader adopted the mercenary strategy, and this was still a policy pressure, but it was not too much of a surprise.

With the mercenary fleet to contain the East China Sea Kingdom on the sea, the Eternal Night Commander can carry out larger-scale development on the Danube Plain and frantically cultivate internal strength.

Only if the skill is strong enough, an external move like the mercenary fleet can show the maximum power.

Thanks to the Eternal Night's propaganda with the East China Sea Nation, it became clear to all the lords that they had eliminated the biggest threat to the Danube Plain, and that it had become a fertile land full of wealth.

In addition, in the follow-up propaganda, the Eternal Night Army Leader not only praised and publicized the soldiers who fought bloodily on the front line, but also set up the heroes of the hero village and the people, and gave them enough meritorious service and commendation, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the people and took the initiative to join the development of the Danube Plain.

On the Danube Plain, a new round of enthusiasm for building houses and villages, reclaiming barren land and building a port city has been set off.

It is believed that it will not be long before the eyes of these lords will no longer be limited to the Danube Plain, but will look at the vast East China Sea.

There is an abundance of seafood here, which will greatly complement the recipes of the Eternal Night Lords.

The more complete the recipe, the more food channels there are, and the less likely it is to be affected by unilateral influences.

The people live on food.

Except for the corpses led by Naren Toya, there is no need to think about food.

No force can do without food, and the more chaotic the era, the more so.

Having enough food means mastering one of the keys to final victory.

The Eternal Night Commander is very aware of this from top to bottom, so the more chaotic the situation outside, the more they attach importance to the development of the Danube Plain, the greater the intensity of investment, and the faster the development speed.

The biggest difficulty in the development of the Danube Plain is the contamination of the magical energy left by the God of Death in the territory of the Crane tribe.

Although it is ignored, nature will heal this land, even if the concentration of magic in the entire environment is increasing, but the healing speed is very slow, at least compared to the lifespan of humans.

The Eternal Night Leader couldn't ignore such a large area of his core hinterland.

Fortunately, they are not what they used to be, and the extremely tricky events at the beginning now have a more mature plan.

The Emblem is an excellent way to deal with this negative magical energy.

Of course, the Eternal Night Warlords would not do such an inefficient thing, and they had another option - the Energy Reactor.

The operating principle of the energy reactor is to absorb the energy of the spell and transform it into energy that can be controlled by humans.

All spell energy is within the range it can draw, including death spell energy.

No matter how its nature changes, it is still essentially a type of energy.

But when he started to build the energy reactor, Sean discovered that there was no way to eliminate the magic energy pollution in the Klein tribe's territory, and there was a deeper reason.

The root of the curse is not elsewhere, but in the cone-shaped pit that the god of death has sealed himself.

The god of death sealed himself here, and it wasn't a random choice.

This is an unstable plane node.

This plane node, although not directly connected to other planes like the one in Phantom City, is also inextricably linked to the shadow plane.

Originally, the God of Death chose this place to seal himself, just like he wanted to rely on the power that infiltrated the shadow plane, so that he would not be too weakened when the magic energy was most exhausted.

The god of death continued his life in this way, but it was a kind of suppression of this plane node, preventing it from causing additional trouble.

When the god of death abandoned this place, the shadow power that infiltrated from this plane node began to spread in the surrounding area, causing a lot of impact on the landform and the remaining flora and fauna here, and there were varying degrees of shadowing.

This discovery is not a problem that can be solved by an energy reactor, but directly around this plane node, build a group of mage towers, and on the bright side is to stabilize this plane node.

In fact, it is an in-depth study and application of it.

The research work of the plane research team led by the old ancestor and the general speaker of Abner has never stopped for a day.

They have not made much progress in the difficult plane technologies such as the Plane Gate Magic Array, Plane Teleportation, and Plane Positioning, but in the process of this research, they still have a lot of additional gains.

Shadow energy is one of them.

The gap between the planes is the separation zone between each other, and it is also the cemetery of all the planes.

There, distance, time, space, everything is chaotic, and the only thing that is true is energy—shadow energy.

Shadow energy should be considered a variant of spell energy, just like death spell energy, but there are too many negative elements in it.

This negativity is not just about the human soul.

When the entire plane is destroyed, the chances of the creatures in it being spared are very small, what kind of despair and fear is that?

This invisible despair and fear, when gathered in too many quantities, can even have an impact on the nature of the energy.

Of course, this is all a human interpretation, and it is not known whether it is right or not.

But one thing is certain, the shadow energy in the shadow plane, which is actually present and can be used like magic energy, is enough.
