Chapter Seventy-Six: Steelcore Martial Arts
After a long time, the Archon closed the parchment and let out a long breath, based on the Archon's nearly fifty years of experience in martial arts, he could judge that the training methods and combat techniques recorded in the book should be correct, and he did not think that a Chosen Warrior could deceive his own eyes with something made up.
The things recorded in this book shocked the archon very much, and even faintly opened a door for him to continue to move forward after thinking that he had reached the end of the path of martial arts cultivation.
After the archon closed the book, he closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then opened his eyes and looked at Bai Qi, his gaze was unusually complicated.
Although this parchment opened a door for the archons, the archons, who had entered their twilight years, did not have time to cross this door.
The parchment succeeded in dispelling the archon's doubts.
In fact, it wasn't the free warriors recruited by Bai Qi that really worried the archons. These free samurai, who were recruited and had not been cultivated for a long time, had little cohesion, and if the archon wanted to, he had a hundred ways to make these samurai who had been summoned in a few days disintegrate in a few days.
What really worries the Archon is that once Bai Qi is allowed to gain a firm foothold in Blackwater City, if the other party uses the method of training Nonda and them to cultivate family warriors, maybe in a few decades, a more powerful city-state will appear on the shores of Blackwater Lake than Leoni City, which is what the Archon does not want to see.
And what worries him even more is that after having his own territory, will Bai Qi, who doesn't cherish his skills, become stingy? Something that could greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the Chosen Warriors was too important for the city-state of Leony, which was known for its military might.
Bai Qi had already guessed the Archon's mind and mastered the Steel Heart Flow Training Method. After simplifying it, a copy was copied. After receiving the summons of the consul, he did not hesitate to sacrifice it.
In fact, the steel heart flow training method that Bai Qi taught to Roundup and Gunder was this kind of simplified thing.
It's not that he doesn't want to teach them what the original is. The original Steel Heart Flow training method was too complicated, but it was not conducive to cultivating the two of them into Divine Chosen Warriors in a short period of time, which was not in Bai Qi's interests.
This simplified version of the steel heart flow training method is much more clever than the basic qi and blood power training method, and the speed at which it trains the power of qi and blood is much faster, but compared with the real steel heart flow training method, the power of qi and blood trained by this simplified version does not have the characteristics of the power of steel heart flow qi and blood, and there is no difference between it and the power of basic qi and blood, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the value of this exercise. However, it is more than enough to fool this native, who is in a low-level civilization.
The archon looked at Bai Qi with complicated eyes, and too much affection was revealed, making him, who had always been strong and confident, look a little weak.
The consul quickly gathered up his feelings, restored his former majesty, and said, "I have summoned you to ask what other requirements you have for the upcoming expedition?" ”
Now that Bai Qi has handed over his martial arts, prevent him from continuing to recruit free warriors. Naturally, it is Hugh Ti, and appropriate compensation is also necessary.
Bai Qi was not polite, and offered to hope that the consul could temporarily lease him a castle near the river and a small port. Newly recruited freelance warriors need training to come in handy.
The consuls were very generous in lending the port town of Monroe, east of Leoni, to Baizi.
Having achieved his goal, Bai Qi left the temple satisfied.
The next day, the consul's envoy arrived at the Merchant Castle with an order from the Senate, announcing that Monroe had become a temporary garrison for the White Qi private army.
After Bai Qi got the order, he immediately went to hand over the garrison in Monroe Town. He went to Monroe Town like a base camp, and at the same time drove all four of his warships to the port of Monroe Town.
By order of the Senate. From now until the end of the war. Monroe is the private residence of the White Qi private army, he will succeed the captain of the Monroe guard, become the supreme military commander and administrative officer here, and of course he will also be responsible for the security of Monroe Town, once Monroe Town falls, he will be punished by the Senate.
Bai Qi and the city defense army of Monroe Town made a handover, and after the other party withdrew, he was a little dumbfounded.
Monroe Town is a typical castle-like town, with a 20-meter-diameter and 15-meter-high fortress in the center of the town, which serves as both the town's defensive center and the town's administrative center.
On the periphery of the fortress is a circle of tall and sturdy stone houses close together, the doors and windows of the stone houses are all open inward, this circle of stone houses is the military camp of the town garrison, but also a defensive circle.
The barracks were surrounded by a circle of shops and dwellings that stretched to the perimeter of the city walls.
On the periphery of the town is a ring of fortified walls fifteen meters high and more than three meters thick, with defensive towers at thirty meter intervals.
The inner side of the city wall, within 20 meters of the city wall, is a military restricted area, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach, and the ground here is very flat to facilitate the transportation of supplies or soldiers in the event of war.
There are hundreds of towns and castles belonging to Leony, large and small, most of which are the private property of various families, but the dozens of towns near the city-state and the high-quality fertile land around them are the public property of the city-state, and the city-state's army depends on these public property.
Of course, the defense of those family castles was borne by the family, but the towns and castles that were the common property of the city-state needed to be guarded by the city-state's army.
Speaking of which, we have to mention the military system of the city-state of Ioni again.
The army of Leony City is divided into two systems, namely the regular army system and the city defense army system, the regular army is the three army corps and the three fleets of the navy, they are professional soldiers, completely out of production.
The city defense army is a half-employed militia.
The day-to-day garrison of the city-state of Leoni was carried out entirely by the city defense army, and in peacetime, the regular legions, had only one task, and that was to train, train, and retrain.
Of the three legions of the navy, the third corps is somewhat ambiguous in nature, although it is also a regular army, but it is responsible for maintaining law and order in the civilian port outside the south gate.
The town of Monroe and the farmland outside were the public property of the city-state, and it was the city defense army that was in charge of the garrison here.
As the eastern gateway of Leoni City, the scale of Monroe Town is not small, the diameter of the circular town is more than 200 meters, the total length of the outer wall is more than 600 meters, and there were enough garrisons of 500 city defenses here.
Where is Bai Qi going to recruit and train five or six hundred city defense troops now, he can't leave this town alone as soon as he goes on the expedition.
In desperation, Bai Qi could only use the silver bullet offensive again, bribing the commander of the city defense army, and asking him to send the previous Monroe Town city defense army back.
Bai Qi took the initiative to give up the central fortress of the town to the city defense army, and spent money to buy several warehouses on the dock of the East Gate to rest and renovate as the barracks of his private fleet.
As the news spread, Chosen Warriors from other city-states came from afar one after another to respond to Bai Qi's recruitment.
On the seventh day, there were more than fifty Chosen Warriors under Bai Qi's command, and a great warrior was added.
The great warrior came to him with six followers, and among these followers there was an acquaintance of Bai Qi.
This man was Wolf Captain of the Guard in the transit fortress called Fort Finke on the trade road from the city of Yasuo to the city-state of Sumea.
Bai Qi had just entered the world of this mission and descended on Yasuo City, and in order to avoid the Tiger team, he used the stealth scroll to leave Yasuo City at the beginning of his arrival.
On his way to the city-state of Sumeia, Bai Qi spent the night at Fort Finke. There he clashed with one of the chosen warriors of the Archon family in Yasuo City and was forced to kill them.
Wolff, the captain of the guard at Fort Finke, was a member of the Aaron family, the former consul of Yasuo City, and had a great conflict with the current consul Balin family, and in the spirit of the attitude that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Wolf offered some help to Bai Qi at that time.
Due to the brutal suppression of the Bahrain family in Yasuo City, the Aaron family began to withdraw the core members of the family from Yasuo City in various ways very early, and Wolf was just an eyeliner for the Aaron family to stay in Yasuo City.
The great warrior who came with Wolf was the current head of the Aaronic family, named Messiah? Aaron.
Although the Aaronic family successfully withdrew the core members from Yasuo City, they also lost the most important thing for the nobility, which was the inheritable land.
Land is even more attractive to nobles who have lost their land than to ordinary Chosen Warriors, after all, there are some things that you only know are worth if you actually own them.
The day after the Aaron family joined the White Banner, the Third Fleet returned to the port of Leoni with hundreds of ships captured in Blackwater, as well as some of the allied forces.
On the third day after Bai Qi left Blackwater Lake, subsequent reinforcements from Leoni City arrived in Blackwater City, and General Hall launched an attack on the Golden Scale Kingdom from both land and water.
Due to the loss of Yan zhòng under the Gray Fortress, the power of the putschist and his supporters gradually became unable to suppress the other Golden Scale Tribes, and the Fish-Man Tribe, which suffered losses in the coup, launched a counterattack at this time, and the entire Fish-Man Peninsula was in chaos.
The chaotic Fish-Man Kingdom was taken by surprise and soon collapsed completely.
Without the threat of the Fish-Man Kingdom, under the protection of the Blackwater Swamp, Blackwater City has become very safe and does not need too many garrisons.
General Hall returned triumphantly with most of the coalition forces with captured ships, leaving only two thousand defenders in Blackwater.
As a high-end combat force, all the space soldiers naturally returned with General Hall. (To be continued......)
