"It's us who wins, why are we running away in such a mess!" Wendy said angrily, as she spoke, she also kicked the hurricane element next to her, which made the innocent hurricane element very confused.

However, Roger and the others understood that Wendy was actually just saddened by the loss of the Heavenly Thunder Elemental Force.

The raid of the eighth-order Great Devil brought a lot of losses to the Heavenly Thunder Elemental troops, and in just one round of attacks, the Heavenly Thunder Elementals lost more than two hundred, which really made Wendy feel distressed.

And the heavy losses of the flame elements also made the rabbit's face ugly all the time, and the rabbit ears that had been erected also shrugged down softly. This was because the Flame Elemental Troops, which had originally numbered two thousand, were now less than eight hundred, which made the aura around the rabbit extremely low.

Except for Kerr, everyone else subconsciously stayed away from this super bomb that could explode at any time, even Wendy was no exception.

The loss of the rock elementals was not much, and only two hundred rock elementals fell. Most of the rock elements that fell on the battlefield were actually temporary recruits, so Tuna, who had suffered little loss, was as silent as ever, but the war hammer in her hand was held very tightly.

The only thing that had nothing to lose was that Ke'er calmly comforted the rabbit, the ambushed ice elemental troops joined the battlefield too late, only a few fell when they finally cleared the demon army's rear troops, and now it is the most complete formation among the four elemental legions.

But overall, in this battle, the Elemental Legion can only be regarded as a pyrrhic victory at best.

"Wendy. You don't have to say anything. Roger shook his head, "Just got the news." In addition to reinforcements from the Tokugawa family, the Mori family also received reinforcements from the fleeing Shimazu family. Even if the small number of troops of the Tokugawa family is ignored. What we have to face is also the sandwich attack of the two Yingzhou daimyos. If we don't run, we'll probably be wiped out. ”

“…… More troops are needed. ”

To Roger's surprise, the usually taciturn Tuna interjected at this time, but what she said, several elemental heroes agreed.

However, Roger shook his head and objected: "What we lack is actually the top-level troops above the eighth order, the enemy's eighth-order great devil troops and eighth-order hell horse cavalry, except for the fire phoenixes who can compete." When the rest of the elemental troops encounter, they will all suffer. As for the enemy troops below the seventh order, no matter how many they are, we can still cope with the heavy losses now. ”

"But speaking of which, how are you doing with that Divine Bird Project?" Roger asked with some curiosity.

In the face of Roger's question, Kerr and the others all turned their heads and chose to avoid Roger's sight, even Tuna.

"Okay. I've got a rough guess. Roger sighed helplessly.

"Wait a minute! What's going on with that Divine Bird Project? Why haven't I heard of it? Aisha, who was leaning on Roger, suddenly raised her hand and said, her eyes staring at Roger without blinking.

"Well, it's no secret, it's like this." Roger explained to Elsa very casually. However, compared to Aisha, who didn't understand, Sayuri's face was uncertain. The expressions in it appear most frequently. Still horrified.

The Divine Bird Project in Roger's mouth is actually a special plan specifically for the top-tier troops of Elemental City.

compared to other forces. Emerald City and Elemental City are still too young. Although the Emerald City already has natural dragons such as green dragons and golden dragons, the cultivation cycle of dragons is too long. Even with the existence of miracle buildings, it is difficult to have enough dragon troops before the catastrophe is brought.

And the top-level elemental class of the Elemental City, there is currently only one fire phoenix, but the least feared thing by the demons is the attack of the fire system. Moreover, there is only a single type of top-level troops, and the Elemental Legion is also easy to be targeted and suppressed by other forces.

Therefore, in response to this situation, Roger proposed the "Divine Bird Project", the purpose of which is to develop special top-level troops such as the second top-level class of the Mercenary Kingdom, "Excellent Swordsman", and the second top-level class of the Tower of the Nine Rings, "Arcane Eagle".

The plan went smoothly at first, after all, for elemental creatures, their appearance and abilities can actually be changed. It's like pinching plasticine, as long as the most important elemental core doesn't have problems.

Imitated by the Fire Phoenix Force, Wendy and Kerr successfully transformed some elemental troops that entered the eighth order into "Qingluan" and "Snow Phoenix", but when they arrived at Tuna, there was a problem. Tuna's top-tier Earth Elemental class...... I can't fly.

Compared to air-elemental creatures that can fly for most classes, and water-elemental creatures that change shape, earth-elemental creatures have always felt bulky. The top-tier earth elemental creatures that Tuna had transformed into bird-like appearances were outrageously heavy. Even with the support of the dragons, the top-level earth elemental creatures engraved with all kinds of magic runes still can't fly, at most they can only float: "it" is too heavy! The speed simply can't be fast.

As a result, the plan got stuck here.

The four elemental heroes have teamed up to study until now, and the top-level troops of the earth system have never been finalized, which has made the earth hero Tuna's mood not very good.

In fact, Kerr and the others also suggested that they use the image of the Titan Giant to make this top-level earth elemental creature, but such an idea was rejected by Tuna herself. After all, for her Earth Elemental Legion, the last thing she lacked was a giant Earth Elemental creature with amazing defense. And despite the fact that the Earth Elemental Legion has the ability to attack from a distance such as a stone throw, and the Earth Elemental Legion has a special Earth Elemental Magic such as "Gravity Constraint", the Earth Elemental Legion still lacks a class with high-speed assault capabilities, which makes Tuna unable to lead the troops on her own: the Earth Elemental Legion, which is too slow, lacks the ability to pursue the enemy, and it is easy to be kited by the enemy when acting alone.

So, flying earth elemental creatures. It's the earth elemental class that Tuna craves so much.

However, the top-tier earth elemental creatures have not been born for a long time, and Ke'er and others cannot directly mass-produce top-tier elemental creatures with special abilities such as "elemental balance". This also led to the temporary suspension of the "Divine Bird Project".

“…… That's it. Roger shook his head helplessly, "If the Divine Bird Project can really be carried out smoothly." By adjusting the unique abilities of elemental heroes such as elemental balance, they were able to change the phoenix nest, which could only summon fire phoenixes, into a divine bird's nest that could summon various top-level elemental troops. In addition, the summoning restriction of the Fire Phoenix, which was originally caused by the imbalance of the elements, will also be lifted because of this, and the number of top-tier troops will increase again. ”

"How amazing!" Aisha, who only understood the last sentence, had little stars in her eyes and looked at Roger with admiration.

And Sayuri Hattori's eyes when she looked at Roger were full of strangeness. This time, Sayuri somewhat understood why Sakurahime approached Roger.

If it's just for revenge, Sakurahime can go and get close to Luna. As an elf, Luna has always had a soft heart. It is likely that he will agree to avenge Sakurahime, and by the way, get a new resource base. Although there is a lack of everything here in Yingzhou, there are really a lot of various strategic mineral deposits.

But when it comes to Roger, the meaning is completely different.

As an elven clan, Luna probably won't accept those Yingzhou retainers under Sakurahime's command, at most, let these people become a faction in Emerald City.

If Sakurahime marries Roger, Sakurahime's retainer will naturally become Roger's retainer! This is naturally much closer to Roger than being an independent faction.

For nearly a thousand years, the development of the Elia continent has been more or less stagnant. Under the strong pressure of the demonic calamity, the major forces have worked hard to research and develop a variety of weapons and equipment, and have repeatedly strengthened and improved the capabilities of the alchemy troops. Just to survive the demon disaster.

By now, the major forces have tried almost all the means they can think of, and all paths of development have come to an end, and now only the magicians of the Tower of the Nine Rings are still working tirelessly on new magic techniques. But limited by vision and insight. At the current level of magical civilization, the Tower of the Nine Rings has not been updated for quite some time.

However, Roger is different, he actually directly opened up several new development paths.

Night Elves and elemental forces. Even dwarven artillery! And more Hattori Sayuri doesn't have permission to know, but just heard some of the emerging technologies that are only a few words!

As you can imagine. Roger's Emerald City and Elemental City will eventually become a new power. And when that time comes. The status of these retainers of Sakurahime will naturally rise as Roger's status rises!

The relationship between the minister and the minister is completely different! No matter how high the status of the dwarves and other allies is, they are definitely not as close as the relationship between the elemental line and Roger.

Wait a minute! In this way, wouldn't Her Royal Highness the princess entrust all the retainers to Roger!

Thinking of this, Sayuri Hattori took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the shock in her heart.

Sayuri knows very well that Sakurahime, whose family is ruined, has already had a will to die, but she just can't let go of the people around her.

After all, these old and relict ministers are united by the only remaining blood of the main family. Once Sakurahime died, everyone naturally lost their last allegiance, and the ending was definitely not much better.

For example, Hattori Sayuri herself, if Sakurahime dies, Sayuri will definitely follow her, and I'm afraid it's the same for Sayuri.

But that's certainly not the result Sakurahime wants to see!

And once the revenge is successful, Sakurahime will naturally fulfill her vow to marry Roger, and even give birth to offspring with Roger, and the retainers will naturally have new objects to serve.

When that time comes, Sakurahime will naturally be able to "meet" her parents and younger brother without any worries!

How can this work!

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Sayuri Hattori was right, and suddenly became a little anxious. Sayuri knows very well that although Sakurahime looks quite weak on the surface, she is actually very strong inside, otherwise she would not have been able to lead them until now.

And as strong as Sakurahime, once a certain decision is made, it is definitely not something that others can easily change! At least Sayuri doesn't feel like she has the power to change Sakurahime's will to die.

But then, Sayuri paid attention to Roger's figure, and then suddenly had an idea in his heart: it seems that he should "discuss" with Roger as soon as possible.

………… I am the dividing line back to the city............

Roger led the Elemental Legion and returned to the Yingzhou City occupied by them smoothly. Soon, though, Roger ran into an unexpected person at the docks.

To be precise, a blue-skinned lamp god.

"Why are you here?" Roger believed that the look on his face at the moment must be very strange.

And it's still a smile on his face. Hassan replied with a smile: "There are many specialties here on Yingzhou Island that are not found elsewhere, I came here to buy goods, and I have been to this port many times." ”

Immediately, a gleam suddenly appeared in Ben's eyes: "It's just that what I didn't expect at all was that this place had been captured by Your Excellency!" Looking at the fact that we are all so familiar, can we give a discount to the next purchase this time? ”

Pulling the corners of his mouth, Roger changed to a commercial smile: "Well, this port city is occupied by me and Alice together, so you should discuss this aspect of the matter, I don't care about these things." ”

After saying that, Roger planned to slip away.

"Wait, wait!" Ben shot like the wind and grabbed Roger violently, and Roger struggled slightly, but did not break free.

"Don't be in a hurry, I have a lot of good goods here, they are definitely the best goods! There is sure to be something that will satisfy you! Ben said with a rare loss of a smile on his face, as he looked a little eager.

"I'm really not responsible for this." Roger smiled helplessly, and then took advantage of the situation to distance himself from Ben, and ran away a little helplessly.

When he was far away, Roger stopped, looked at Ben who looked a little dejected in the distance, and shook his head helplessly.

Although Roger is not proficient in business, he doesn't need to think about it to know that Ben's current cargo ship must be full of goods to be sold to the people of Yingzhou. But now that the city has been occupied by Roger and Alice, the original Yingzhou merchants must have run out, so no one wants Ben's goods.

Alice is not from Yingzhou, and there must be a lot of goods that Ben brings that she doesn't need, and Ben, who can't sell things, must be in a difficult situation now.

But it's none of my business.

Roger looked at Ben, who was floating there dejectedly, and there was a little schadenfreude in his heart.

Wait a minute!

Looking at Ben's figure, a light suddenly appeared in Roger's eyes, and he immediately used the hero's certificate to contact Tuna and several other elemental heroes: "Have you heard, I have a new design plan for Tuna's top-level earth elemental class!" Definitely a viable option! ”

Listening to the replies of several elemental heroes, Roger looked at Ben again, and now Ben suddenly became much more pleasing to his eyes: "Well, although we don't need it, but there are a lot of things Sakurahime They should be in need, maybe they can buy some." (To be continued.) )
