421 Continental chaos
"Actually, I'm surprised that Silent City has come this far."
After sending away the shadow blade beside him, Al also let out a sigh of emotion, but he knew in his heart that the military strength of Silent City could develop to such a point, first because of the power of the system, as a traverser, he had an army interface to ensure the loyalty of the army, even if the largest military force in Silent City, the Silent Blade is full of mountains, but these small hills are essentially loyal to Silent City, and the battle between factions is just to get more resources from Silent City.
If the loyalty of the army is ensured, it will have the confidence to expand, and even if the strength of the army is strong, it will not be afraid of being dominated by anti-guests, or even overthrown by the army.
In terms of army expansion, the biggest contributor is the old Devin and his Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce.
The expansion of the army needs not only an increase in personnel, but more importantly, it is the corresponding equipment, if there is no high-quality equipment, then even if the army expands, it can only rely on the realm advantage on the battlefield to bully the low-level army, if it meets the same level of army, then the end is only to be abused.
Therefore, if it weren't for the fact that Old Devon successively sent various ores and metals worth nearly three million gold coins to Silent City, the military strength of Silent City would not have developed to this point at all, and the main military force, the Silent Blade, would have expanded to the scale of four or five thousand people at most, and it could only be equipped with ordinary full-body steel armor, and with the same number of people, the combat power was only two-thirds or even lower than the current Silent Blade.
As for other factors, such as policies, etc., they also have a certain impact, but the main credit is still due to Old Davin, after all, the expansion of the army is too expensive!
Smiling, Al listened to the others discuss the current situation on the mainland.
The situation on the mainland can be summed up in one word: chaos!
Let's talk about Skyrim Province first, for Skyrim Province, that group of demonic believers is not even a major threat!
At the beginning, in order to save Soyer and others, the elf king Serua directly tore through the space barrier and entered the long river of time, and without the suppression of Serua, Alduin also ran out of Songgard and resurrected the dragon in Skyrim Province.
Originally, Alduin was blocked by Serua in Songjiadri, and at most relied on the leaking breath to resurrect some "weak chicken" dragons, these relatively weak dragons, even in their heyday, only entered the realm of legends, and were almost the lowest existence among the dragons.
Thank you for the dragon after the resurrection, due to weakness, he will be in the realm of a half-step legend for a long time, and in this era of the return of the legend, even if he wants to do something, he doesn't have that strength.
And now these dragons resurrected by Alduin himself are different, the realm of these dragons is at least equivalent to the old legends of mankind in their heyday, and after resurrection, it only takes half a year to recover before they can return to the legendary realm, and even some dragons who have a senior legendary realm in their heyday, or even the peak legendary realm, only need a few weeks or even a few days to recover to the legendary realm.
As for those dragons who were in the realm of mythology when they were born......
Alduin is too weak to resurrect the mightier dragons.
(Alduin: I'm really sorry for the audience, I'm weak, huh?) )
Although it has been more than five years since Alduin returned to the world of Nain, it stands to reason that he should at least return to the realm of the peak of mythology, but this thing always wants to do things, and there is a Serlua squatting outside Songgard, and I don't know how many times he has been scolded by Seruas in the past five years, so that until now, Alduin has only returned to the realm of the peak of legends.
The strength of the peak of the legend is in the past, and even in the era when Alduin just returned, he can still be regarded as a top master, but in the current era when the legend has returned to the world, almost every city is guarded by legendary powerhouses, even with a strong body and super combat experience, with the realm of the peak of the legend, he does not dare to be presumptuous, and can only sneak to those relatively hidden dragon mounds, one by one to resurrect the dragons.
But even so, there are at least twenty legendary realm dragons in the Skyrim Province today, and almost every slightly taller mountain has a legendary dragon entrenched. So much so that several trade routes across the mountains were interrupted.
In addition to the dragons, the threat of believers is also serious, in addition to the big news that this group of believers has just made, those ordinary believers are also wreaking havoc everywhere, whether it is caravans or ordinary travelers, they are all targets of attacks by believers.
Although for these believers, the lords of each realm have also filmed the encirclement and suppression of the army, but with little effect, according to the information collected by the Shadow Blades, Al even doubted that there was also a traverser in this group of guys, and the style of this group of guys could be summed up as a complete set of sixteen-character guidelines: the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase!
Okay, this whole guerrilla war!
For this group of believers' rat-like style, not only the lords of Skyrim Province have a headache, but even the lords of other provinces are also having a headache, in the past month, due to the believers' "guerrilla warfare" strategy, the caravans on the mainland have directly decreased by two-thirds, and even the tiger caravans that give the lords of various places a headache have become scarce.
Even the caravan of the Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce had to merge into one, or even merge into one, before they could hit the road.
The merger of multiple caravans has reduced the profits of the Chamber of Commerce to a certain extent, but the security has been greatly improved, at least in the face of these small groups of believers, the caravan of the Sharp Arrow Chamber of Commerce is completely unafraid.
For the whole continent, in addition to the threat of believers, there are many major events that have been continuously attracting the attention of all forces.
For example, the Wurmone crisis in the Black Swamp, due to some problems that occurred with the Heath Sacred Tree, all pure-blood Wurmians were recalled to the Black Swamp, and since the middle and late stages of the Skyrim Provincial War, there have been no pure-blood Argos walking around on the continent anymore.
And the tearing war between the Ancestor Divine Continent and the Wood Elf Du Li forces has also lasted for almost two years, and the Wood Elf Du Li forces led by the Son of Nature Mercenary Group (formerly the Son of the Forest Mercenary Group) have grown up rapidly in a strange posture under the blow of the Ancestor Divine Continent, and with some unknown assistance, they have actually fought with the Ancestor Divine Continent.
These two have already become mortal enemies, and even Philina's continent-wide joint plan did not invite these two forces.
In addition, there was another small eruption of the Red Mountain in Morrowind, and the Red Guardians and Brightons also fought several times, and such clashes are never uncommon on the mainland.
Of course, Al wasn't interested in any of that right now, and what he wanted to know most was news about those believers.
