The imperial capital, Lingxiao City.

Near the grand temple of the cardinals were a series of annexed palace buildings, equally stately built, and groups of clergy hurried to and fro with pious and contented looks.

“…… This is a real miracle. ”

Monek looked up at the top of the towering temple in front of him, and the fiery and gentle golden light shrouded him, and the majestic and sacred aura came to his face, with a mysterious, timeless, vast and profound artistic conception, which made people involuntarily give birth to a sense of awe, even if they were unbelievers, after staying in such places for a long time, they would become devout believers from the heart.

"Let's go, don't keep the archbishops waiting." The colleagues around him urged.

Monek agreed, and turned to walk with them towards a temple not far away. Today was the day to receive the second-degree divine grace potion injection, and it meant a lot to them, the mid-level officers of the Praetorian Guard.

After the injection of the first-level divine grace potion last time, his physique had obviously strengthened a lot, and he had successfully broken through the Sacred Domain Pass in a month. Now, after the second injection, there is every hope of being promoted to the next level.

Moreover, the treatment of the Praetorian Guard Legion has always been generous, and even the middle and lower-level officers can get a lot of resources to cultivate and improve their strength. Monek felt that as long as he worked hard, it was completely possible to advance to the twentieth level of the Heavenly Rank Sacred Domain in the future, and there was a glimmer of hope in the Legendary Realm.

"Your Majesty is indeed a wise and great monarch, and in the future, he will be able to lead us to unify the entire Xingmeng Continent and even other continents......"

Monec thought to himself, and a strong sense of pride arose. It is a privilege to be born in such a country, and it is a great honor to be able to fight for your great majesty and the gods of the future.

By the palace wall in the distance, Qin Feng, who was dressed in civilian clothes, was strolling around, and Qin Luxue followed him step by step.

"After this batch of potions is used, the combat effectiveness of the Praetorian Guard Legion can be completely improved,"

Qin Luxue said: "It's just that after the people in those countries know about it, maybe they will find a way to make it bad." ”

Qin Feng smiled: "The warehouse area where the genetic optimization potion is stored is located in the Imperial City, and there are demigod-level beings stationed there, so they can't make up their minds." ”

And this thing is a scientific and technological product from the apocalyptic world, there will be no formula in this world at all, even if there is a formula, it can't be cracked and copied under the conditions of this world, and the production line of instruments and equipment is not in this world, so there is no need to worry about leaking secrets at all.

According to Qin Feng's assumption, I am afraid that there will not be too many priests and priests available in the empire's legions in the next few years. However, these support classes are indispensable to the meaning of the Legionnaire.

When a legion has a sufficient number of support classes participating in the battle, it can play a role on the battlefield, and it can be said that the legion without support classes can be said to explode. In this regard, the army of the Star Shan's empire is indeed at an obvious disadvantage, if it is not compensated for by the sufficiently sophisticated equipment, coupled with a large number of healing potions on the battlefield of the apocalyptic world, the number of casualties in each major battle will never be less.

Now, after the soldiers of the empire have been injected with genetic optimization drugs on a large scale, the overall strength of the legion will be significantly improved, and the warriors will have a stronger physique, and it will be easier to recover from injuries, further widening the gap with the armies of other countries.

"This kind of ...... How much does a genetic optimization agent cost in that world? In addition to all the Praetorian Legions, can ordinary legions also be used?" Qin Luxue asked.

She was a little worried, after being tested by the great pharmacists in this world, the efficacy of this genetic optimization potion was effective even for the body of a legendary powerhouse, and it was conceivable that it should be very rare. Legendary alchemy potions with similar effects will not cost less than one million gold coins at the cheapest.

That's why she was shocked by Qin Feng's generosity, it can be said that apart from him, there is no big power in this world who can be so extravagant.

"Don't worry, there are enough genetic optimization potions, no matter how much you want, I just don't think the number of legions in the empire is enough." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"That'...... How many legions are enough? ”

Qin Luxue asked, she knew that Qin Feng's medium-term goal was to unify the entire Xingmeng Continent, and the need for strong military power was extremely urgent, and the current military strength was indeed a little worse.

"At least triple the existing number to barely be enough!" Qin Feng said lightly.

Qin Luxue estimated, and couldn't help but change her face slightly. The current military strength of the Xingshan Empire is mainly divided into three parts, namely the Praetorian Guard Legion, the Standing Legion, and the Local Garrison Legion. As for the slave auxiliaries, as well as the private armies of the great nobles, they are not included.

A fully established legion of 50,000 people, the Praetorian Guard now has twenty-four fully equipped legions, this is the most elite military force in the empire, not only the best treatment and the most well-equipped, but all the officers have been strengthened by the baptism of the mirror country, there is no problem with loyalty, they are all controlled by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and outsiders have no way to interfere.

The Standing Legion has now formed seventy-five, and although its equipment and salary level are reduced compared to the Praetorian Guard, they are also equivalent to the level of the Praetorian Guard in other empires.

And the number of local garrison regiments is even greater, they usually do not take on the main combat mission, but are only used to be responsible for logistics and transportation, maintaining local order, guarding less important areas and fortresses, etc.

The empire now recruits hundreds of thousands of young adults to join the garrison corps every month for training, and those slaves who perform well will also be sent here, and after a period of high-intensity training, select the best ones to join the standing legion, and become a member of the regular army of the empire.

As for the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, they were naturally selected from among the many standing regiments, and officers and soldiers who had made meritorious contributions could also apply on their own, and they were usually allowed.

This system of recruitment and training has been implemented for several years, and the relevant rules have now been gradually improved. Each month, the Empire can be provided with five eligible Standing Legionnaires. The selection criteria for the Praetorian Guard were much stricter, so only one regiment could be added per month.

In addition, the empire's navy now has ten surface fleets under its jurisdiction, with more than 400 warships of all classes, including 29 top-level magic giants, with about 600,000 officers and men. Of course, Qin Feng has already ordered a larger number of warships, and they are still stepping up construction in the country of dragon-blooded gnomes, and a certain number of ships will arrive at the port every month to be delivered.

As for the ballistic missile nuclear submarine formation, this is a strategic secret of the empire, except for a few people around Qin Feng, many important ministers do not know.

The air power of the empire is composed of hundreds of floating fortresses of magic energy of different specifications, more than 200 floating warships of magic energy, the number of floating transport ships has already exceeded 1,000, and the scale of officers and soldiers is close to 300,000. In addition, three times as many fortresses and fleets are being built on other continents.

Of course, the Star Fleet and the outer space reconnaissance unit are also strategic secrets, and basically no one knows about them.

After receiving all the funds of the original Broman Empire, the number of giant half-planes owned by the empire has reached as many as twelve, and there are still six under construction.

Nowadays, the empire has built an ultra-long-range communication magic array in every city with a scale of more than 50,000 people, and a large ultra-long-range teleportation array is spread across all the frontier provinces, and a large number of strong people can be dispatched to quickly support once there is an incident on the border.

Moreover, the empire has opened very favorable conditions, recruiting holy regions and legendary powerhouses to all continents for long-term service, and if the powerhouses above the legend are willing to join the empire's nationality, they can also be rewarded with titles and territories. Talents in other fields are also not refused, and the more the merrier. For a time, the heroes gathered and came.

Therefore, the Xingshan Empire is also not inferior to other empires in the field of strength and high-end academics, and is fully qualified to conquer the hegemony of the entire continent.
