Chapter 676: Allies
Xia He didn't care what Juno III thought, the subsidy proposed by the royal family was quite tempting. It's mostly magic rough stones, and raw coal crystals.
Of course, the royal family will also open up the purchase of some materials, and what the royal family does not sell on weekdays will be taken out for the nobles to choose.
Selling supplies in wartime will of course be disgusting, but the royal family will take out the magic rough stones for free, and everyone will have nothing to say.
The big nobles are okay, but the small nobles can't get so much energy.
Then the royal family also came up with the standard of the combined fleet. A combined fleet, according to the naval establishment of the Duke of Asla, consisted of a main fleet of twenty-four ships, plus two secondary fleets of eighteen ships.
A combined fleet of sixty warships will be the minimum for expeditions to the New World.
Each combined fleet, in addition to carrying some troops of its own, protected from three to five troop carriers.
Xia He doesn't care much about the expedition, and he is working hard to build his own Rhode Island. Sun City Expansion, Sanxing Town Expansion, North Coal Mine Expansion, South Star City Expansion.
On the side of Daliang City, the training base is also expanding, and Xia He applied for a royal subsidy, asking His Majesty the Emperor to provide gold coins, so that he could reduce the price and train qualified troops for the minor nobles.
The royal family really agreed, and provided a lot of food aid to Xia He.
For the royal family, food is the cheapest, and the royal family has conquered many worlds and has sufficient food reserves. However, because of the expansion of Xiahe's military strength, the accumulation of food was less, and the emperor's subsidy made Rhode Island breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the royal family also designated two forward bases, both on the eastern coast, between Rhode Island, 1,500 and 3,000 miles apart. In one place, the nobles had died in battle, there were no heirs, and the land was returned to the royal family. Juno III designated it as a base for advancement, and also to build a large number of buildings, build ports, large cities, and prepare for war.
Then Juno III pushed another nobleman to the table.
The Marquis of the Merriphon family, the Marquis of Stephen, was promoted to duke by Juno III, and some of the noble lands around the demons were all gathered together to form the Duke of Merrifin.
The Merriffin family is not far from Rhode Island, 1,500 miles apart.
Originally, he was an ally of Xia He, and together he sent troops to Red Sea City, and in the tug-of-war in Red Sea City, the Merry Fin family trained more than 100,000 soldiers before and after.
Yes, the battle of the Red Sea City was to train soldiers.
In this way, on the eastern coast, there are three dukes.
Duke Stephen, Duke Jesu and Duke Asla. Among them, only Duke Zhesu is an old nobleman, and the family has an army to fight in the other world.
Duke Jesu, who has always been vague, sent people to Rhode Island to ask for an alliance with Xiahe. Obviously, Duke Zhesu's territory was blocked by Rhodes Island, and if he wanted to expedition to the New World, he had to bypass Rhodes Island, which was very troublesome.
But with the alliance with Duke Jesu, what about the Merriffin family?
Xia He did not reply to this matter immediately, but contacted Duke Stephen to ask for questions about the three alliances. However, Duke Stephen refused, and Xia He couldn't help but laugh when he heard the news.
Juno III played so well with this hand, and in the blink of an eye, he pushed himself off the cusp.
Sometimes, the cusp of the storm is not only a danger, but also an opportunity. His own Rhode Island, even if it is not on the cusp, will directly face the attack of the demons. Now there is a gap between the Merifin family and himself, and he doesn't trust Zhesu very much.
The Merifin family is too close to Rhode Island, only 1,500 miles away, and the sea road is less than 1,600 miles.
Even if it is not hostile, the Merifin family will attract a large number of nobles to take refuge, and there will be fewer who will take refuge in themselves. Zhesu and himself are a level of nobleman, and they can only form an alliance, and there will be no possibility of taking refuge in themselves.
Xia He had no choice but to go to Black Mountain City in person.
In Montenegro City, Her Royal Highness the Princess cordially received Xia He.
"Duke, came to me because of my father's business?"
Angelina is so straightforward, Xia He doesn't know what to say. He had no choice but to say, "Your Highness, is our covenant still there?"
"Of course, but I can't go against my father, can I?"
"Why not?" Xia He asked rhetorically.
Princess Angelina was confused by Xia He's question, why did she go against her father?
Xia Hedao: "Your Majesty, sooner or later, he will not be the emperor, and you will also have a share in the heir to the throne." How much support you can get is the key. ”
"It's still early. ”
"But you have to show your strength now, or it'll be too late. ”
"If my father doesn't like it, how can I still be qualified?"
"If your father likes it and can inherit the unification, then you might as well go back to the imperial capital and be a well-behaved daughter by Your Majesty's side. Xia He sneered.
"Asla, you're really daring. Princess Angelina sank her face and said coldly.
"It's not the first day you've known me. Xia He pushed back strongly.
"Did you persuade you to form an alliance like that?"
"We were allies, and you admitted it. ”
Angelina's complexion changed rapidly, she smiled elegantly, and said to Xia Hedao: "Duke, on my side, I have actually subdued four county kings and are willing to follow me." Father acquiesced, so what about ......"
Xia He realized in his heart that Juno III promoted the Merry Fen family to let him come to Princess Angelina.
The old thing's methods are quite powerful.
The royal label is not so easy to remove, but fortunately, I can still contact the Metatrin family. With the princess and Metatrin, this side is not bad.
Just ask this empire, how many people can relate to Metatrin.
"Your Highness, I still have to help your brother, and I won't be in this world for long. ”
"Don't worry, your Sanxing Town can leave the commander, and I won't seize power. But on Snowvis's side, you also let him do something. Against the demons, the more people there are, the better. Your territory is underpopulated, and it's a bruise. Snowvis and I actually have troops from another world to replenish them. ”
Xia He admits this, the reason why the Half-Elf Empire can't be defeated is not only because the royal family has not made any strength, but also because the Half-Elf Empire has recalled a large number of warriors in the other world.
The strength of the main world, in addition to its own high law, is also a matter of heritage.
Any of the main worlds, as long as they are about the same, has the ability to conquer the other world, with sufficient soldiers and abundant materials.
Xia He ate a routine of Juno III, and he was not angry. As for the emperor, he always has to do things. It's a little embarrassing to persuade Angelina stupidly.
"In this way, Snowvis and I will support you with a batch of gold coins to speed up the construction of Samsung Town. will give you a lot, but part of it will be used to buy battleships. I need a combined fleet, and the same goes for Snowvis's side. I will give you drawings, some battleships, mine and yours are different. It doesn't matter if you're willing to imitate. ”
"I only use my own. Xia He said proudly.
Angelina smiled, didn't continue the topic, and discussed with Xia He about transporting soldiers in the past. She and Snowvis also gave Xia He a lot of support, mainly because the two of them jointly contributed money to build a factory in Sanxing Town, which was specially used as logistics to manufacture and repair various weapons.
This is the benefit of having allies, Xia He himself is worth investing, and there is no refreshment of allies to contribute.
The princess and the king of the county thus had a place in Sanxing Town, and they took a little advantage in attacking the new continent of the demon race. This money is not for nothing, they can use it in Samsung Town, since they are allies, and they pay for it, the degree of use is different from others.
Xia He also had to prepare berths, separate repair shops, and docks for them.
Xia He didn't go to Metatrin specifically, but sent a message to Metatrin, asking if they were interested in participating in the attack on the New World in Samsung Town. Metatrin immediately replied, saying that he was willing to participate and would fund the construction of a three-star town in Xiahe.
The materials that Metatrin had on hand, Xia He didn't have. Don't look at him as having a starry sky worm, but what materials can be made by starry sky worms is not something Xia He wants, and he has to catch up with the right materials.
If Xia He is given enough time, he can use the Starry Sky Worm to combine various materials. But to build a three-star town, he can't afford to wait.
Enslin, who was originally familiar with Xia He, was sent to Sanxing Town by the Metatrin family.
Enslin had sixty-nine levels at the beginning, and now his level has reached seventy-five. However, it is difficult for Enslin to become a demigod, and Xia He estimates that he will eventually get stuck at level seventy-nine.
Metatlin's family magician, the level is very good, Enslin came to the three-star town, and Xia He can save two legends to sit in the town. Angelina and Snowvis joined Xia He's camp, and it was impossible for Duke Zhesu to compete with Xia He for any dominance.
Angelina recognized Xia He as the commander of the coalition forces, and she herself came to Samsung Town to cheer for Xia He.
However, she knew that Xia He would have to help Snowvis do things after a while, and when Xia He was away, she would be the actual commander here.
Fifty miles from the town of Sanxing, a man-made island has been raised. There is a reef here, and the bottom of the sea is only a dozen meters deep from the surface of the water at low tide. The robot goes down and drives a thick metal pipe deep into the ocean floor to pour artificial stone. The magician then refined the formation, and the chassis of the entire island was quite stable.
This is to prevent the demons from directly attacking the barrier set up in Sanxing Town, and the island is full of fortresses with giant artillery.
On the side of Sanxingzhen, there is also an underwater dock for diving warships. Xia He has always designed diving warships, but they are all relatively small and mainly biomimetic forms. Remote control, when necessary, can be used as a disposable weapon to attack the enemy, with considerable power.
On weekdays, submarine warships are used for reconnaissance.
Xiahe is busy with construction here, and the Merifin family and the royal family are all building a forward base. The center of gravity of the empire shifted from the west to the east. However, according to the intelligence, the Green Forest Continent is also very busy.
