It was useless, Xia He evaluated those soldiers in his heart. Now it's easy to win, or rely on the mages of the Merriffin family, the magic ballista can shoot so accurately, and the coverage area is extremely small.

If you let the Epic Spellcaster pounce on deck, how many of those soldiers would survive?

The whole battle didn't last half an hour, and a fleet of half-elves was wiped out. Most of the flying battleships retreated, and hundreds of miles away, no enemy was seen.

The half-elf interception fleet, estimated that there was no intelligence, was sent out to patrol the sea, wanting to find Xia He's expeditionary fleet for a decisive battle.

However, the expeditionary fleet has nearly 100 ships, and the number of magic cannons on board is also crushing the half-elf fleet.

The Half-Elf fleet didn't even have a magical defense network, and the explosion golem destroyed the propulsion device, turning it into a coffin floating on the sea. These explosive puppets, if they want to deal with the warships of the Holy Thunder Empire, it is estimated that they will not be able to do it.

Xia He thought back to the Holy Thunder Empire warship he saw at the bottom of the sea, and felt that the level of that battleship was not inferior to the ships he made. The key is the cost, if the cost is several times over......

The expeditionary fleet cautiously approached the still burning half-elf warship, and the mage regiment boarded with the warriors.

Sure enough, in the cabin, there are still stubborn guys.

However, this is not an underground world, there is no way out of the closed space, the wizard world throws the fireball into it, until it is crooked, and it is determined that there can be no living people inside, so it throws a few ice and snow spells to cool down, and then comes to an air cleaning technique, so that it is suitable for living activities, and finally sends heavy armored soldiers to clean up the corpses.

These processes are still trained by Xiahe's army.

The people of Xia He, in a small boat, some of them boarded the battleship of the Merifins family, and the other part, together with the people of the Merifin family, went to salvage the corpses of those epic spellcasters.

Only the caster will have wealth, these are all agreed by the two families, and those destroyed on the battlefield must be divided equally, and the rest of the spoils will also have a share of the small family. This kind of thing is not available, they are not eligible for it.

Because of Xia He's order, they were not in a hurry to take down Red Sea City, and they could stop along the way and collect loot. Although the upper deck of more than twenty half-elf warships was burned out, the hulls below always had recovery value.

These are all allocated shares, and the small nobles dispatch an army once, and it is also a pain in the bones, and there is no benefit, so how can there be any desire to fight.

Xia He asked the fleet to bring so many people who were waste in his eyes, mainly to observe the emotional problem. In the Shenzhou world, although there is also the psychology of studying the servant army, Xia He is not an all-rounder, and he has not invested too much in this area, it is all a book thing.

The human heart is originally the most difficult thing to guess.

Xia He estimated that the number of servant troops in the wars he participated in in the future must be several times, or even more than ten times that of his own army.

The servant army is not useless, at least there is no need to feel distressed when they die.

Just one battle, Xia He discovered a lot of things. The minaries have a high desire for loot, but do not seek quality. That is, for as little as possible, they will be satisfied. The servant army also pays more attention to entertainment, and the degree of hardship of the soldiers is far inferior to that of their own army.

The personal combat effectiveness of the servant army is not much different from that of their own people, and some of them are even much higher than the combat effectiveness of their own recruits. But their discipline is in question. If you fight alone and play in the ring, your own 1,000 elites may not be the opponents of these soldiers.

After all, the time to become a professional is short, and the training time is also short.

But in a group battle, with the same number, you can only be crushed by your own soldiers. Xia He felt that his 1,000 people could kill the 1,000 of these little nobles without damage.

Although I have seen it in books, making a comparison in reality, Xia He understands it more profoundly.

Xia He didn't plan to command the army in person in the future, but he had to, otherwise he wouldn't know how to fight the people below, and he would definitely be deceived.

Trust is not the same as laissez-faire, he must be accountable to the soldiers under his command.

Perhaps, the combat effectiveness of these servant armies should be improved?

In Rhode Island, the training time of the servant army is too short, and they can only memorize some regulations, and it is really a matter of life and death, Xia He does not think that the servant army can withstand the pressure.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was news about the sound transmission formation of the badge, and Xia He immediately opened it, and he heard Freya's voice coming.

"My lord, someone is eyeing the underground ore vein, and it is estimated that the matter of the magic power rough stone cannot be hidden. Snowvis caught some spies. ”

"How?"

"All of them were directly executed. ”

"It's okay, it can last for more than half a year, although the underground world is a borderless land, the area occupied by me and the county king has been demarcated, and it makes no sense for others to forcibly occupy it in the past. At most, they are in areas beyond our control, approaching the veins from far underground and mining at the edges. ”

"Then should I increase the amount of poaching?"

"Of course, it has to be increased, anyway, in the end, it is a confused account, and whoever can pick it is whom. ”

"Well, then you don't have anything to ask?"

"No, just stay safe. ”

"I will, I won't spend too much time here, and the students over there at Stormstorm Point will have a lot of things to deal with. And behind the academy, the small secret rooms have been renovated and can already be used for cultivation. I'm not afraid to remodel the large chambers yet, but some of them are already accessible. ”

"Wait, it's much easier to wait for us to be legendary. ”

"Yes. Freya agreed, and cut off the communication.

Xia He is not surprised, this kind of thing as a vein will always leave clues, and it has been hidden for so long, and it is already a big profit. When the nobles of the empire know that there is such a borderless land, and anyone can go to get a piece of the pie, half a year will be considered fast.

Anyway, the five ghosts will steal the best ore, and they almost don't bother to do it.

Now that the Xia River is in the eastern sea, there are also veins under the sea, even if the income there is less, it will not affect his development. And after the incident broke out, there was still some nonsense.

Both the Emperor and the Metatrin family will stand up and speak, and when will the nobles settle their differences?

The Emperor and Metatrin could not just take advantage and not take responsibility.

"Teacher, the flowers in the garden are blooming. Smith suddenly ran over in excitement.

Xia He smiled: "You are not a child anymore, why are you so excited." ”

"How am I not a child. Smith pursed his lips and said, "Teachers often say that you can't pretend to be mature, it's an idiot." ”

Xia He failed and said, "Then go and see." ”

It snowed early in Rhode Island this year, and it snowed late in Sun City, but it suddenly fell overnight last night. In the garden of Xiahe, a lot of plum blossoms are planted. These plum blossoms are all modified magic plants, which were supposed to bloom in spring, but this one blooms in late autumn.

Xia He cultivates the metallicity in this magic plant material and absorbs the aura of heptogold.

The Marquis' Mansion in Xiahe has no maids, and Taoist priests usually don't like it very much. Xia He has now made some puppets, which are lifelike, and take care of the inner mansion of the Marquis's Mansion.

Covered in heavy snow, most of the magic plants planted along the low wall are silent, and only a few plum trees bloom proudly in the snow. The plum blossoms are red and white, and when you get close, there is no fragrance. Smith leaned up, sniffed with his nose, and said with a smile: "This magic plant is so weird, it only has a strong fragrance when it is close to half a foot." ”

"The flowering period is not long, and I will thank you tomorrow. ”

"Why is that?" Smith wondered.

"It's meant to be a test piece, and I need their materials. ”

"What can you do with such a little material?"

"Make you a sword bag. ”

"I don't want that...... But what the teacher gave me, I must study hard!" Smith saw that Xia He's face was not good, and quickly changed his words.

"You know what, you can't go out in the future, you are wearing a large suit of armor, and your face is not shown. The teacher is a Taoist priest and also pays attention to demeanor. In the future, you will also follow me to wear a robe and carry a sword bag, and you will look very free and easy. Besides, do you know why your senior sister is refining the Green Silk Sword?"

"To be handsome?"

"Hmm. ”

Smith grimaced, not daring to say disbelief. But the senior sister is very handsome, and her swordsmanship is also very good.

"The sword bag can raise a sword, if you don't like the sword pill, then use the sword bag to raise a long sword to deal with low-level enemies, a thought to summon the sword qi condensed by the long sword, kill people in a hundred steps, just like a mage. ”

"How can you cut it with your own hands. Smith muttered.

"Do you know, as a sword cultivator, what I am most afraid of is being targeted by others. Whoever knows your weakness, be sure to kill it. Usually if you show the same ranged abilities as the caster, the enemy will find ways to get close to you and fight you in close quarters. ”

"I see, Senior Sister, her melee combat must be more powerful. ”

"Not really, if you want to know what she's good at, just ask for yourself. ”

Smith stuck out his tongue, he was a little afraid of Medirri, though Medirly would have been gentler with him.

"Smith, your realm is still too low, with more and more wars, our Marquis Mansion is destined to be glorious, you are my student, and someone will target you. ”

"I know, I'm the weakest, I'm going to be easy to start. ”

"No, they'd want to kill Medirri more. I'm just a teacher, worried about your safety. ”

Smith's expression suddenly became solemn and apologized to Xia He.

"Alas, this snow, it's too early. Xia He suddenly said inexplicably.

"Teacher, what does it matter if the snow is early or not?"

"Remembering the individual. ”

Smith didn't ask, Xia He remembered his own master. Back then, it was also a big snowfall, and I met him on the street. He asked himself if he wanted to cultivate the Tao.

A peach-colored plum petal fell, Xia He stretched out his hand, put it on his fingertips, and gently flicked it out. Smith's eyes widened, and he sensed the sharp aura released from the plum petal, as if it was a peerless sword.
