Verse 556: North (2)
What is there to point out about this, Marin replayed everything that happened that day on the sand table three times and five by two.
Watching the sandman minions complete a battle reenactment, the members of the command looked at Marlin as if they were looking at an outland visitor.
"Your Excellency Marin, I am amazed by your psionic attainments, but ......" Marshal Konstantin looked at Marin's face full of doubts: "Your Excellency Marin, this, this is too simple, right?" โ
Marin wanted to say something and stopped - yes, but the psionic performance on the sand table really didn't make them really understand all this, so Marin took out another video magic crystal - this was given to Marin by the mage master on the other side of the mage tower afterwards, saying that it was a memorial after the war.
Only then did Marin know that while those mages were pasting their faces on the other side, there were even special people who came to do the work of war correspondents.
With this thing, all the old and young masters of the Northern Kingdom can finally see how much damage a force with enough firepower projection can inflict on the cold weapon troops when standing on the slope without any firing boundary blocking - not to mention the semi-automatic muskets and bolt rifles, not to mention the machine guns that can shoot bullets out like splashing water, the mage regiment of hundreds of people alone has already made everyone in the military red-eyed.
And in the face of such firepower, the black orcs are just some walking targets.
So a good review turned into a new round of weapons sales exhibition, some of the rich nobles like machine guns, although these splashing gold swallowing beasts are each other's wallets' biggest enemies, but the victory is in the supremacy of firepower, Chaos Guys in the face of this kind of firepower crossfire, can only use their humble lives to fill the distance on the defensive line.
Some of the big nobles who have spare money like artillery, and in their eyes, the echelon charge of chaos and those difficult chaos warlocks can be used for a few rounds to get rid of it, although it cannot be compared with the cannon in terms of continuous firepower, but it is better to do practical things with less money.
As for the various minor nobles, they are simply obsessed with semi-automatic muskets - it's normal to think about it, a year ago you lords were still using front-loading guns, and now a year later, they suddenly find that this kind of good guy can shoot 8 or even 20 rounds with a single load, even if they don't have enough money to arm all the troops, they will buy some to arm their most elite guards or companies.
Marlin also shipped at cost price - the addition of a large number of craftsmen made Marin's workshop turn the western and northern parts of Fort Carter's third circle of walls into a huge workshop area, and every day the ore obtained from the dwarves and frost giants would be transported by sea, and more goods would be shipped out by sea, the prosperity of Fort Carter was visible to the naked eye, and Mr. Mayor still had some complaints about his humanoid rubber stamp, but now it was completely gone.
Today, he sits there and earns far more than the so-called country counts (those who can really be compared to the barren areas of Regensburg), and what is the use of stamps as long as they have so much money, you know, how many people can't go if they want toโafter all, the royal family was still wary of Marin at that time, and coming to Carterburg to be mayor was no different from sending him to death in the eyes of the nobles, and Mr. Mayor was also a big wronged man, and was pushed over by the former Mr. Mayor as a target.
It's just that who would have thought that the wronged boss would have such a bright future, the original mayor wanted to do something, but Marin was not happy - the current mayor is more sensible, what if he doesn't obey people?
Every day, Fort Carter obtains materials that allow the workshop to craft them at full capacity, and more and more weapons make the people at the Fort Carter Tax Office, who is in charge of export taxes, painful and happy.
Marin collected everyone's needs and sent them to the workshop, and then talked to Marshal Konstantin about the next defense points - the previous five marshals are now dead on a Cameron, Sergei is under investigation, and the three marshals are very busy for a while.
Therefore, as soon as the three marshals combined, they were ready to form a mobile force, and like Ayers, they would run wherever there was a problem with that section of the line.
Marin knows how to do this, and what the marshals want is to let Marin preside over this army - in terms of identity, Marin is the prince of the royal family, even if he is the prince of the south, but his help to the northern kingdom is in the eyes of everyone, as long as he kills Chaos, what happened to the command of the army, although many people hate Marin for being nosy, but on the issue of the head, everyone can still know it.
And since the military is willing to give Marin this opportunity, Marin thought about it, and is ready to send a few regiments from the Northern Kingdom from the factory guard to come over as the backbone of Marin's team without the need for the military to pay, Marin is ready to use this opportunity as a good opportunity to train the soldiers of the factory guard - what is better than slaughtering chaos without psychological burden and with peace of mind.
Listening to Marin's preparations, Marshal Konstantin was also happy - Marin's several regiments do not need military funding, and these soldiers are also elite in Konstantin's opinion, and they lead military recruits, which can play a guiding role, and there is no need to worry about morale problems with Marin's presence, and let Marin become the commander of these recruits, and their equipment does not need the military to worry.
This is a win-win situation, so the two sides hit it off, and Marin was authorized to immediately start sending letters to the chief commissar left behind in the south, and he needed to ask the old man to select four warbands as the first phase of support.
I was given the best equipment, and we used to let the farmers in the countryside with front-loading guns understand what real firepower projection is.
The last sentence of the letter to the chief commissar should have made the old man understand.
And after arranging everything, Marin went to see Ayres - there was no problem with the defense here, and Ayrs heard that the fight was hot.
Speaking of which, Ayres has been very satisfied with this arrangement recently-you see, where there is a problem, it means that there is more chaos, and more chaos means that he can collect more soul gold coins, although the quality of these gold coins is not very good, but now the quantity of this thing is enough, and this thing can still be spent on the demon's side, and if you don't worry, this thing is also a kind of hard currency on the side of the imprint city.
Ayers even used them to buy a lot of bones from his peers, in the realm of the undead, this thing is cannon fodder, the lich has it in their hands, but they don't like it, after all, it takes magic to maintain them, and the lich always has to leave some leeway to protect themselves.
But as a legendary lich, Ayers is full of strengthened equipment, and it now maintains at least 40,000 rib troops every day, close to 30,000 ultra-long spear phalanxes, 8,000 musketeers, and Marin also helped him strengthen a wave of artillery. And the new cannon fodder that Ayers purchased, Marin also helped him dig out the old armor from the Yankees' warehouse, let the bones put on, and take the super long gun, they are an elite cannon fodder.
Even Ayers hired some rookies who had just been transformed into lichs with soul gold, and he didn't expect them to be able to play the same rhythm as the mage group, as long as they could give the bones enough enhancements. Although they didn't know why their employer, Ayrs, was helping the humans at first, the gold wouldn't lie, and soon the rookies became Ayres's most loyal subordinates - Ayrs was very happy to pay, and as long as he worked hard, he wouldn't withhold or delay his payment.
Compared with those peers who eat small fish and shrimp from time to time, Ayers behaves like a benevolent angel, not to mention the anonymous and Marin who come to see from time to time, and the sacred cigar between Ayers's finger bones, these subordinates are very secretive about the boss camp, for fear that if one accidentally brings a halo to their boss, he will say that he is a good god and a god.
Marin was still the same as before, the battle was over, this time Ayers ambushed Chaos, his super-long spear phalanx this time replaced with a short sword and shield, and squatted in the first line of defense to wait for the rabbit, so when Chaos crashed headlong into the human defense, they found that the trenches were not the little tender skins they liked, but all some faceless and skinless bad guys.
In hindsight, Ayres found that he had lost less than 600 bones in battle, and then asked for at least 2,000 bones from the Chaos Believer, and then there was a lot of soul gold coins, which could be said to be another day of dementia.
Seeing Marlin coming, the lich happily threw a cigar to Marlin.
This smoke is really good, I gave it to you, but unfortunately my little brother doesn't like the taste.
Marin cut open the cigar with psionic energy, and then lit it with the flame between his fingers, and smiled at the same time: "If your little brother smokes this thing, I'm afraid that you will die on the spot." โ
Ayrs laughed, and then introduced Marin to his little brother, the King.
This is Clark, in charge of my little brothers for me.
After introducing him, he looked at Clara and introduced Marin.
This is Marin, a double god crown, and there are four branches of the World Tree on his arm.
The lich beside Ayres immediately lowered his head.
Greetings to you, Your Excellency Marin, your prestige has spread from this world to our world, and I hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.
"No problem, as long as your camp is up to my rules."
Marin held out his hand, and the lich hesitated, but finally held out.
Marin shook his hand, and then saw that the man was bubbling all over, but he didn't spontaneously combust it.
Clark has been working with me for a long time, and he's the only little brother who can accept me smoking a cigar, but their camp is also changing, and it's really hard to keep us in the same camp here.
Ayers grinned at this.
Although I think it's really weird to be a lich who isn't in the evil camp, but now I think it's not bad, everyone is a lich for money, and it's really hard to find a good thing like this that you can get a lot of soul gold coins without having to fight with humans on the main plane.
"I'm leaving this to just one of your old friends." Marin said with a smile.
I believe in Your Excellency's words, without your recommendation, how could I have today, thanks to Your Excellency's care.
Ayers was licking the dog at this moment, and Marin noticed that the Excellency of the church was watching him not far away, so he parted ways with him and walked towards the middle-aged man: "Your Excellency, is there anything wrong with you?" โ
"I am the head of this section of the defense line of the Just Church, Lord Marin, welcome to you, unfortunately I don't have tea for you here." The middle-aged man said apologetically.
"I don't need tea, thank you for your kindness, do you lack anything here?" Marin knew that he would not be able to ask the military chief here, so he decided to ask the head of the church, at least the believers of the Lord of Justice would not lie.
"Nothing is missing, but it has improved a lot compared to last week, this time the parishioners of the Fighting Loving Church do not need to use their treasured healing ointments, and I do not have to pray for the relief of the war dead." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
So Marin gave him some supply slips and asked him to find someone to pick up the goods in the rear. Naturally, the person in charge left with a thousand thanks.
Returning to Ayers, the man who looked at the middle-aged man's back gave his opinion.
I am a responsible fellow, if I had such a responsible member of the Good God Church in my world when I was still alive, I would not have fallen to such a point, but unfortunately there was no at that time, and those false god believers couldn't even defeat a so-called god enemy like me in the end, which is really shameful.
Ayres's complaint made Marin have to comfort him.
I don't regret it, after all, it is because of me at that time that I was able to see you today, Your Excellency.
Ayres didn't think he needed to regret it, it was better, Marin thought as he talked to him about the military's arrangements for him.
Ayres felt like he was setting up Marin, but after hearing about Marin's preparation, he felt that he was overthinking.
It seems like I'm really suspicious, after all, I'm used to fighting wits and courage with my kind.
While complaining about his working environment, this lich said to Marin that if one day something is too big to solve at once, he can summon him directly, and then he and Marin will directly kill the chaos they will commit, and everyone will take what they need and trade happily.
Marin felt that the lich had taken on the form of a wealth fan.
It's really terrible, other people's lichs are noble and cold, and the army of white bones is thousands of miles away, but the lich under Marin himself is a guy who sees money, and thinks all day long about harvesting soul gold coins from Nurgle's side, and even takes the initiative to reconcile with humans in order to harvest soul gold coins faster, better and safer.
Ayers, Ayers, how did you degenerate into the Scrooge you are now?
"By the way, can you get food from Seal City?"
No problem, I can buy it from those people, and if it really doesn't work, I can stock up on something else.
Ayers replied.
Marin was overjoyed.
