Sixty-six thousand, placed in the Overworld, is not enough for the number of a main army. The full strength of Xiahe's main army is 150,000, and the royal family's must be more than 100,000.

But in the world of Eslam. There are more than a dozen human kingdoms, each with a population of just over a million.

Human magic is not flourishing here, and there may not be more than three legends in the entire human world, and none of them belong to any country.

With a population of more than a million, how many troops can be maintained?

In the absence of a state of war, maintaining an army of 10,000 men is considered a reckless force.

Unless, they have the productivity of the Overworld.

With strong magical knowledge, there are not many people in a planting factory in Xiahe, mainly because the management needs magicians, and the harvesting relies on robots. A planting factory, where the most people are employed, is the robot maintenance workshop.

But what about the world of Eslam? A farmer, facing the loess with his back to the sky, can grow hundreds of catties of grain after a year of hard work?

In the Overworld, when the planting factories were not yet popular, golems were used in the fields to assist in planting, and all kinds of fertilizers and pesticides were helped by the Empire's airships. The production is much higher than in the world of Eslam.

The dukedom of Xiahe is now universally educated.

In terms of talent selection, children with high talent will enter the Asra Academy of Magic, and ordinary children will be sent to local colleges. The knowledge imparted by the local academy is quite rich, and you can also join the army directly when you come out. Continuing education in the army, in addition to combat knowledge, also teaches everything according to the different talents of soldiers.

As long as you are willing to be a soldier, after you retire from the army, you are guaranteed to have a craft that suits you.

In the current duchess, children are studying on a full-time basis until they become adults. After the popularization of planting factories, Xiahe has been exempted from the tuition of the basic knowledge part.

In Eslam, an ordinary soldier needs at least ten people to support, and a professional rank requires hundreds of people to do it.

If you want to be a rioter, you have to develop technology first.

However, the place of Eslam is not peaceful, and the frequent conflicts make it impossible for the unproductive human kingdom to produce more people.

Effina was worried because she knew that even if the elven population was larger, the 66,000 army would be quite deadly and difficult to resist.

And she thinks that Reese is lying, and judging by the size of the camp, there are definitely more than 66,000 people.

Probably, 300,000 people.

But in three days, to defeat the Iron Furnace Castle? Sounds unlikely, these people can't even go out of the mountains in three days, what can they fight?

Is it to let a legendary powerhouse pass?

The four of them couldn't take a shower, and when they came in and took away the food boxes, they wrapped themselves in blankets and slept in their tents.

"Gordon, why don't they collect their weapons?"

"Maybe we don't threaten. ”

"And standing guard outside again?"

"Perhaps, I'm afraid we'll be in danger. The nearby monsters are quite powerful. ”

"Gordon ......"

Snore......

The next day, early in the morning, the four adventurers were taken to the commander's tent. The food on the table was different from yesterday, but it was quite simple, with a portion of porridge, meatloaf, minced vegetables, and sliced oil cakes.

Recy beckoned the four of them to sit down and let them eat with them.

After eating, Reese wiped her hands and asked, "Why don't we go to Ironforge Castle?" That's a good place to start with Ironforge Castle and conquer all the human kingdoms. ”

Gordon didn't know how to answer, but Lacey called with a smile and led the four adventurers to the take-off and landing site carved out behind the mountain.

Although it is impossible for Gordon to know the location of every mountain, behind this mountain, there should still be a mountain, how can it become flat now!

On the take-off and landing field, there were four large airships, a six-pointed star airship with twelve sorties, and four diamond-shaped flying machines.

The four adventurers were arranged on a large airship, and they didn't know what the airship was for, and the goblins of this world didn't build an airship, and the dwarf technology didn't reach the level of flying. Anyway, it's very low-level.

The Duke's expeditionary force, a large airship can accommodate 500 heavy cavalry, including mounts and logistics. This is even bigger than the Empire's, because the Empire's heavy cavalry would not have been equipped with mechanical heavy cavalry before.

This kind of large-capacity airship does not fly at a high altitude and usually flies at a position of several hundred meters.

This time, Reese ignored them, and the four of them were accompanied by a young magician. This magician is already level twenty-five, and in the eyes of the four people, he is an absolute master.

"Hello everyone, I'm Kemi, please come with me. The magician led the adventurer into the lower cabin, and at the front, outside the huge magic glass, a large number of soldiers were walking into the cabin, and many robots carried the magic sealing box and stuffed it into the cargo hold.

"What are those?" said Gordon, who had traveled so far and now felt like a country boy who hadn't left his homeland.

"Sealed magic boxes, construction robots, Trojan horses, the larger ones are not sealed magic boxes, they are artillery parts. ”

"Artillery?"

"Well, Lord Reese is planning to bombard the castle with artillery. ”

"Boom!"

"Don't worry, I will warn you first, let the people inside retreat, and wait for the retreat before officially attacking. Usually the attack on the human city is like this, not too many people will die. ”

"Ironforge Castle is a thousand years old!"

"Then surrender, surrender, there is no need to bombard. It will be protected as a historical site and become a tourist area. Historical documents are also preserved and placed in museums. ”

The adventurers were in a daze, these people were indeed destroyers. Probably, more terrible than the Abyss Demon.

The magic airship took off, and Gordon and the others turned pale. They haven't been in a flying machine yet.

Near the airship, there is a six-pointed star airship escort, as well as many small metal flying robots. The airship flew close to the top of the mountain, very cautiously, and the speed was not too fast, about 400 miles per hour. Because it was running at full capacity, Recy was also afraid that something would go wrong with the airship.

More than three hours later, the airship flew out of the mountains.

The landing site was a farmland, and seeing a huge airship appear, the farmer in the farmland fled frantically in the direction of the village.

When the airship landed, the first to come down was the construction robot, and then the humanoid robot.

The construction robots began to set up camp, the crops were bulldozed, the wheat that was not yet ripe was cut by machinery, the ground was hardened by magicians, and towers were erected.

Reese dispatched two expeditionary force brigades, four ordinary regiment brigades, plus flying units, and a figure of more than 4,000 men.

The adventurer was taken to the tent and sat down on Lacee's right hand.

In front of them, Reese issued the task. In the big tent, of course, there were also officers of various brigades and squadrons.

"There are still more than eighty miles away from the Iron Furnace Castle, and the range of the artillery brought this time is fifty miles, and according to calculations, it may be attenuated to forty miles in this world. Then we will place the artillery positions thirty miles from the Iron Furnace Castle. Six stationary guns, six mobile guns. ”

"Yes. Someone below agreed.

"I will leave an infantry squadron for the artillery position, and then a cavalry squadron. I waited in front with my own team, and after the artillery attack, the remaining three brigades, following my orders, took away in one wave. ”

"Your Excellency?" Reese's lieutenant hesitated.

"I know that I will send an emissary to persuade me to surrender first, and I will use the persuader to construct two full-attribute mechs, two stormtroopers, and six modular towers. In addition, I transferred the battering ram robot fighters in my brigade to the first brigade of the second battalion, and they were responsible for attacking the fortifications. If the other party hasn't broken yet. ”

Reese released the map again, and a three-dimensional image of Ironforge Castle emerged.

"The second brigade, you go to the south of the city, the third brigade, you go to the north of the city, and the fourth brigade goes around the back and goes to the east of the city. All brigades, the chariots are equipped with stunner shells, and if the enemy is desperate, they are swept again with small cannons, and finally loaded with muskets. For each team, I'll also give out an additional Balancer Build, so don't let the mage run away. ”

"Captured alive?" asked a captain.

"Kill, mages of this world, it sounds like bastards, we don't need it. ”

After saying this, Reese said to Gordon, "Is there anything else you need to add?"

Gordon smiled bitterly and said, "There are indeed a few magicians here in the Iron Furnace Castle, but the strongest one is only level five. Probably the only trouble is having outside support. But you came so quickly, with the speed of the nobles, forget it, there should be no support, and the nearest military town is also seven or eight hundred miles away. ”

"That's okay, everyone goes, the people of the expeditionary force follow me, the first brigade left a squadron to cooperate with the artillery, and the heavily armored knights also followed the artillery, you won't need to fight these people, just don't let the artillery have an accident, there are really a lot of monsters in this world, and I killed a lot of them last night." ”

After Reese finished speaking, she acted resolutely, expelled all the people, and took the people close to the two brigades and went on the road again.

The rest of the people turn on the cyborg warriors in the makeshift camp and adjust the magic build. Of course, there is also a persuader to construct, to take ten robots to the Ironforge Castle to persuade the other party to surrender.

The adventurer was assigned a wooden horse, and Gordon rode on the wooden horse, followed Lacey, and couldn't help asking, "Your Excellency, it seems that you haven't seen any targeted tactics?"

"Do you need tactics? Iron Furnace Castle, just take it away in one wave. ”

"Know yourself and know your ......"

"Is there a legend in Ironforge Castle?"

"Nope. ”

"There are no legends, what tactics are needed. ”

"What if there were legends?"

"Then we will dispatch the legend, kill the other party's legend, and take it away in a wave. ”

Well, this sorceress, it's so simple and crude. Maybe she has too much confidence in her soldiers. No legend can be taken away in a wave.

But there are so many people in the two brigades!

Gordon didn't know the dukedom establishment, and in the main legion, there were fifty-five robots for a team, which meant that there were sixty combat units in a team. A squadron has eight standard squads, a command squad and a logistics squad.

The command squad, also known as the spellcaster squad, is equipped with a battle mage and four magic net mages. Plus the magic construct, the cyborg warriors, and the sixty people.

The logistics team also has logistics vehicles, more types of builds, and more robots.

A squadron of combat units is over six hundred, and a brigade is a command squadron, a tank squadron, and eight standard squadrons.

The number of combat units of the brigade is more than 5,000.

Reese led less than two brigades, but the combat units also broke 10,000.

This time, the main thing is to let the subordinate brigades of the ordinary legion try their strength, and her own direct troops will not be played.

In the ordinary legion, the standard squad is equipped with only five robots, and there is only one build, and in fact, there are four brigade combat units, which are not as many as on her side.
