Mercenaries, militiamen, children of nobles who have no title to inherit, these people all walk on the right side of the road, and they are in a hurry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the left side of the road, there is a real aristocratic army, most of which are unhurried, and none of the ten teams will be in such a hurry.

However, Xia He walked really slowly, and occasionally went deep into the forest to clean up some poisonous insect nests, and encountered many teams along the way. His team was the largest, usually Nietzsche, with dozens of cavalry, and then one or two magicians.

Of course, most teams also have auxiliary units, such as mounted infantry, crossbowmen, and the like.

Nietzsche's people will also follow Xia He's team to clean up poisonous insects in the forest, anyway, they will go five miles deep at most, usually two or three miles away, and there will be no danger to their lives if they are there.

Nietzsche's knights were all fully armored knights, with closed masks, and when cleaning up poisonous insects, they all dismounted and went on foot. As long as the armor is not too bad, it is impossible for the poisonous insects to bite it open.

In the evening, you have to choose a campsite close to the roadside.

Nietzsche's camp, which is next to the camp of the Xia River, is not merged. Xia He's side quickly built the camp, and Xia He's magic tent was not completed, and he still used his own magic tent.

The soldiers got the parts provided by Yelena and the others to assemble their barracks, and soon built the camp around the magic tent. Nietzsche governed the army strictly, and he didn't come to harass him, and he was with the soldiers the whole time.

Martin took his scout team to keep vigil, and Xia He asked the magicians to take turns on guard, and a new group of people would change in two hours.

In the magic tent, Xia He sat in the middle, and the students all sat opposite each other, Xia He: "I told you about the Elf Temple before. Now that Ovilla is here, I'll say something else. ”

Freya yawned, Xia Hadao: "If you don't want to hear it, go out and have a look." ”

"Hmm. Freya stood up, stepped out of the magic tent, and vanished. After she came out, she manipulated the little ghost released by Xia He to supervise Baron Nietzsche's barracks, she found a big tree by herself, hung a hanging basket, and lay in it.

Freya never trusts others, and Xia He knows her temper, so he lets her out.

Baron Nietzsche is fine, Xia He is sure, but who knows who is around him?

Inside the magic tent, Xia He continued to say to the students: "It has been preliminarily determined that the imperial army has almost killed all the ferocious poisonous insects, and the rest are all berserk poisonous ants. If you want to train with poisonous insects, you have to go deeper than 20 miles, which is quite dangerous. ”

Medirli held a long sword and fell asleep behind Xia He, she never listened to this kind of summary lecture. She learns something different from others, as long as she slashes it with a sword.

Instead, Ovilla listened carefully, except for the first battle, the rest went to kill poisonous insects, she was a bystander, watching Xia He's students cooperate with the knights to kill the hordes of poisonous insects.

The ability of the students surprised her, the fifteenth-level magician was already very powerful.

"The magic I have taught you is mainly plastic magic, also known as elemental magic. Among them, fire-based magic has the most lethality and the highest consumption. Of course, the efficiency is also the highest. If there is any enemy that is a ...... that the Flame Burst Star can't solve"

"Then twenty-four Blazing Stars. The students replied immediately.

"That's it, but the magic is single, and it's easy to target, and if the enemy wears fire-resistant equipment, and you still use fire-based magic, the result will be terrible. So even though fireballs are the most practical, no magician really learns just this one spell. ”

The students laugh, they love to listen to the teacher's nonsense.

"The fire department majors in the Flame Burst Stars, the water department majors in the Purple Electric Ice Pick, the Wind system majors in the Void Wind Blade, and the Earth department majors in the melancholy porcelain puppet. Because these four elemental magic are the most complex magic you can learn, through these four magics, the knowledge you actually learn may be the reserve of hundreds of other people's magic. However, this is not enough, you have been with me for too short, and I can barely know now what each of you is best suited to study. ”

Xia He's gaze swept over each student's face, and he said lightly: "From today onwards, I will teach you twenty-four people, what everyone learns, I will teach it in a targeted manner." ”

The students' breathing is heavy, they have learned the same things before, some people learn fast, some people learn slowly, this is of course related to talent, because everyone's talent and good direction are definitely different.

As Ovilla listened, Xia He began to explain the core of elemental magic, and she was also intent, drunk.

Druid's spells are more based on natural instinct, and after listening to Xia He's explanation, Oville felt that he was really shallow before, thinking that Asra was just like that, but his talent was more powerful. She has the ability to transfigulate, she can transform dragons, and sooner or later she will surpass Asla.

Now it seems that even if it is a changing dragon, it may not be able to catch up with Asla's footsteps in the future.

Xia He continued until the second half of the night, when the students went back to bed, and he said to Ovilla, "I'll go find Freya, and you can rest here." ”

Ovilla nodded, and Xia He came out of the magic tent and came to the tree where Freya was hiding, and with a flicker, he came to the hanging basket.

"No problem, right?" Xia He naturally lay down, and Freya moved him around.

"No problem, I've probed everyone. ”

"Freya, what is the reason why you said that the empire allowed so many private armies to intervene? The troops on this line of the Emerald Province are all filed with the Governor's Palace, and there are pensions for the dead, so they are definitely not used as cannon fodder. But the combat effectiveness of these people doesn't look very good, and the aristocratic army is better......"

"The empire is trying to set standards, and in the future, it is likely to let the private army go out to attack the enemy country, and if you die, you will have a pension, and if you win, you will have military industry and war booty, what a cost-effective thing. ”

"To weaken the Half-Elf Empire?"

"It's not that simple, actually...... It's not like you've made it up. ”

"Me?"

"What a good sample you are, laying a foundation overseas, and at a young age, you became a powerful lord, an earl of the empire. Do you know how many young talents in the Empire can't find a way out at all, and if the Empire is willing to endorse them, these people will go out desperately. ”

"It's not worth the effort, is it?"

"Don't work hard, die at home, ordinary life?"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that. ”

"My lord, you are duplicitous......

"I don't have a way back, and they don't. ”

"Alas...... My lord, have you thought about it, Ovilla is in a place like the imperial capital, recruiting knights for you, a gold coin for a month, and a lot of people come to sign up. Why? It's not because you can toss and know that if you follow you, there will be war. Look at your new subordinates, if they were recruited by someone else, they might not be willing to go for ten gold coins a month. ”

Xia He thought about it for a while, one gold coin a month, it must be a civilian knight, with a bad background and a low rank. And the knights that Ovilla recruited for himself were all young people who were above level ten, had a solid foundation, and had a lot of knowledge.

These people may be born in a position to be luxuriant, but they are by no means ostentatious.

A knight above level ten, a gold coin for a month, is really an unreasonable price. Each knight basically supports himself, how can this one gold coin be the price of allegiance.

"My lord, in many parts of the empire, there is no good way out for magicians. Do you think that there are so many academies in the Empire, and how many civilian mages have been trained in Metatlin alone? Nietzsche, a lord who is not a teacher, is even more unwilling. ”

Xia He realized that the nobles he knew before were basically magicians, and Nietzsche seemed to be the first, a warrior arcane nobleman.

So many professionals are suppressed by magicians, and the magicians themselves are not living well enough, not to mention the waste of manpower, in the long run, it is strange that there is no chaos within the empire.

"Remember the interstellar pirates, right?"

Xia He nodded, indicating that he understood. When the Shenzhou Empire was founded, it did not invade other universes, and the Dao Palace was not strong enough back then, so it was just searching in its own universe.

The first person to come into contact with it was the interstellar pirates.

What is an interstellar pirate? is actually a pathfinder sent by a powerful galactic civilization.

Whatever you grab is yours, as long as you pay taxes to the state. In this way, the restless elements of the country are thrown out to rob other places.

Arcane Empire, this is to train interstellar pirates.

Freya's words broke through Xia He's blind spot. The empire is now too strong to accumulate strength, and if it does not develop externally, it can only be internal strife. Talent? Talent has.

Is Nietzsche a talent? It must be a talent, like Baron Nietzsche, an aristocrat like the empire, there are thousands of empires. In Nietzsche's family, there may be more than a dozen people who are similar to him, but the title can only be inherited by one person, and even if these people are talented, they are destined to achieve nothing in their lives.

Xia He immediately opened the Dragon and Tiger Dao Jar Vision to see the army's troop deployment this time.

Sure enough, the empire has built strongholds like tower towns in many directions, with teleportation arrays and legendary powerhouses to support them at any time. However, the empire's army did not go deeper, but slowly gathered near the important town of the half-elf empire.

Then there were all sorts of private soldiers, mercenaries, and a chaotic team that began to attack the half-elf villages and towns.

These armies, without military discipline, are bandits.

The empire prepared supply points for these bandits, prepared high-quality and inexpensive weapons, and prepared a strong backing. As long as the Half-Elf Empire gathers forces to sweep out, the main army of the Empire will attack head-on.
