Groniz was deeply honored, and when he first became a legend, he was still a little arrogant, wanting to change his status in the duke and gain more power.

But as the days passed, his mentality was different.

The dukedom is a huge system, and the strong people above it are much stronger than him. And what supports the dukedom is not only the legendary powerhouse, but also the huge army below, the high-level alchemy factory, the magic academy and so on.

One less thing, there is no duke today. And he is just a legend, and he has a group of family forces under him.

Later, when I heard about Smith's record, his arrogance was completely gone.

Directly killed the legendary mage of the Rodriguez Academy, and used a strategy to kill two legendary mages of the Merrifinn family.

The Duke himself is a mage, and the swordsman he taught is so terrifying, how big is the gap between him and the Duke?

When the Second and Third Field Corps came, he saw more legends, and he was even more desperate.

At least his status in the dukedom is already good, he can lead the army alone, buy equipment and weapons, and the prices are all cheaper than others can imagine, and there are subsidies from the dukes themselves. His children, the dukedom has been going to check since he was a child, and the teenagers in the family will be absorbed into the academy if suitable.

The tuition fees are also less than those in the Empire, and the expenses are basically incurred during training.

But even so, it is better than the second-level academy of the Empire, and what can be learned is really very practical, he is a legendary mage himself, of course he knows whether the things taught in Asra Academy are good or not.

may not be as good as the Nine Academies, but those children in their own family, the Nine Academies may not be willing to accept them.

If you barely get in, you have to pay ten times the price and be an auditor.

I heard Xia He say again: "Groniz, it's a good thing that you can study new tactics. Because the composition of your army is a little different from mine, the number of robots is small, and the construction is small. There are few battle mages, and magic net mages are barely enough. There is no corps establishment, and the highest is the battalion level. This is also normal, your family's strength, it is already difficult to support 6,000 elite soldiers. ”

"Hmm. Groniz listened intently.

"So, I suggest that you study not only the tactics of warfare, but also the formation. See how your own battalion fits together and then decide how your soldiers will fight. Here in the dukedom, there are many models of robots announced, you can choose from them, or you can tell me, what attributes of robots do you need, or mechanical builds, if you need a small number in your army, I can develop it specifically for you. ”

"Duke!" Groniz was excited, he still didn't take refuge in vain, and his net worth and life were brought to Rhode Island.

Now the Duke is willing to develop a robot or build for him alone, which is the treatment of his own people. He wanted to say it for a long time, but he didn't dare.

Working on a new model for him alone? Speaking of it, the face is a little too big.

"Don't be so excited, you people take refuge in me, naturally for the sake of the family, for the sake of the future. Sooner or later, you will have great sacrifices here, and even the disciples of your family will die here. I have to think about your future, it's my responsibility. ”

"Then I'll tell you, Lord Duke. Our nobles are okay, some of the smaller nobles, only a few hundred soldiers on hand, at most a brigade, lack of heavy firepower, should develop a magic structure, powerful spell casting ability, just like a chariot, it doesn't matter if it is a little more expensive, it can replace the bulky chariot, it is best to go over the mountains and mountains. ”

"Then you can be a representative, go and consult with other minor nobles, what kind of attributes you need, and then tell me. ”

"Yes, Duke. The mech warriors we want are more inclined to melee combat, and the all-attribute mech warriors are the best, and the ranged weapons can be carried less. Our soldiers' melee combat ability is not as good as your grown-ups. ”

In fact, what he wanted to say was that even if the combat effectiveness of your soldiers was the same, the ability to withstand losses was too poor.

The duke's loss of one or two thousand will not hurt his muscles and bones, and some people will lose a hundred and they will go bankrupt.

Xia He smiled and said: "It's that I didn't think it through, it's all from your own point of view, you can't afford to lose many times, and you're more willing to spend more money." A full-attribute mecha warrior with excellent melee ability and a high price, I myself am equipped in the command team and logistics team. You are willing to equip ordinary soldiers, I can understand that. In fact, in the future, I will gradually eliminate low-level robots, either robots with all attributes, or robots with specific attributes. ”

"That's right. Gronitz said. What the Duke said was what he wanted to say.

"In that case, you will equip the all-attribute mech warrior first, and soon I will provide different models for you to match yourself. In the future, you can even afford to raise all-attribute robot warriors. In the future, the core of the cyborg warrior will be the same as the soldier, a humanoid machine, and various functions will be attached to the external armor. As long as you match different plug-ins, you can get different robots. ”

After the two of them talked for a while, Xia He went to the warehouse, took all the corpses of the demon insects he had collected, and went to the next castle.

The legendary nobles of the City of Stars were all transferred by him, leaving only Nietzsche alone.

Now all castles are guarded by legends, which is relatively safe.

Xia He finished collecting the demon insects in the warehouse on his side, and went to the area occupied by the Dawn Temple to collect them. The more demon worms, the better, no matter how many, he has to eat them.

Because the materials refined by the Demon Worm are too comprehensive, from the needs of his production of immortal weapons, to the Soul Origin, to various biological materials, there are almost no things that the Demon Worm cannot provide.

But Xia He is not worried about the extinction of demon insects, this thing is a scourge in the multiverse. You can't do it if you want to exterminate them.

The materials extracted from the demon worm can be used to make high-grade dragon scale scrolls, can also be provided to mecha soldiers as bone materials, and can also be provided with mechanical structures.

Xia He himself wants to go to the Demon Realm to see what this thing is coming from.

The plague of demons and insects has caused a lot of damage to the empire, and a duke of Xiahe's level has a lot of soldiers and generals, so it doesn't matter, but many small nobles have suffered heavy losses in the plague of demons and have to withdraw from the new world.

Fortunately, there are subsidies from the royal family, and they also bear part of the pension, plus the military exploits of eliminating demon insects, these little nobles can still rest and recuperate, and make a comeback, so as not to collapse.

With such a backing as the imperial family, more nobles will be invested in it one after another.

As the battle time lengthened, more academy mages on the Xiahe side invested, the army system became fuller, and the mechanical soldiers and mechanical structures were also regularized and hierarchical, and the operability became excellent.

The overall strength of the empire is also increasing rapidly, the big nobles, the royal family, have mobilized more troops from the world they occupy, and the number of demon insects on the west coast is getting smaller and smaller.

However, the expansion of the Demon Domain did not stop, and the entire north-south direction, the Great Wall defense line of Xiahe was completely lost.

However, the royal family and the dukedom have made huge profits, and with the massive number of mechanical warriors of the two families, the losses of their own human soldiers are minimal. Of course, the royal family lost an additional legendary mage, and it is still unknown where he died.

This effect makes the robots and mechanical structures of the two companies sell well.

However, whether it is a royal family or a duke, the sale price is very conscientious, and the profit is controlled at less than five times the cost.

On this day, it snowed heavily, and Xia He returned to Babel Tower and received news from the royal family.

The royal family has developed a magic cannon that can shoot continuously, at a low cost, and is specialized in restraining demonic energy, which can incinerate all demonic qi and demonic contaminated soil within a radius of several miles, and purify it.

The drawings spread all over the country, and Xia He also got a copy, he just glanced at it and was very convinced.

The emperor's ability to control costs is really strong, and he has nothing to change, just use it directly. From the design drawings of this magic cannon, a large number of magic patterns against the demons can also be analyzed, and it is also valid to put it on the magic musket. If you want to reduce the cost, you can simply design the magic bullet directly, and you don't need to think about the power being reduced.

The Demon Breaking Magic Cannon is an area kill, a magic musket, as long as you hit one, the power is enough.

Xia He directly threw the blueprint to Stormstorm Horn, and asked Freya to get it done in one day.

Xia He also understood, why didn't the emperor provide the blueprint of the magic musket, this thing was purely for the demons, and let tens of millions of troops across the country change their clothes?

Whoever can improve the magic projectile is okay, if you have the strength, you can make it yourself, and if you don't have the strength, you can buy it from the royal family.

The royal family casually took out a piece of equipment, all of which were high-quality and targeted to the extreme, which was really the reason for the background, but it was not a genius who burst out of inspiration.

Xia He felt a trace of awe in his heart, and felt that his burden was even heavier.

The emperor's personal strength is already terrifying, and he still has strong technical ability, if he is not born in Shenzhou and has a higher vision, in the face of the imperial family, there is almost no possibility of surpassing.

The request of the royal family was also put forward, to go to the Second East.

In the Demon Realm, it has already communicated with the Demon Realm to form a huge and lasting channel, and if it is not destroyed, the power transferred from the Demon Realm will exceed that of the Empire, and the Empire can only mobilize troops from each occupied world to adopt a lose-lose approach.

To Xia He's surprise, the emperor said that he would personally conquer it.

Isn't the Emperor unable to leave the City of Juno?

This is the most stressful thing, if the emperor can leave the city of Juno, Xia He can't think of any way for him to deal with it.

Xia He thought about it and immediately issued an order for the Second Field Army and the Third Field Army to withdraw to Rhode Island.

Among them, the 1st and 2nd Field Legions all went to the Goblin World. The Fifth Field Legion of the Goblin World was transferred back to the Overworld, and together with the Fourth Field Legion, went to the New World.

3rd Field Corps, stationed in Rhodes Island.

At this point, all the most reliable elites in Xiahe went to the goblin world to prepare for the final battle.

In the goblin world, as long as the demigod goblins are killed, there will be no threat to Xia He's army.
