Xia He has not tossed in the past few years, and there are many fewer legends about him in the empire, but he is already very famous, and he doesn't need to work hard.

Retreat and cultivation are necessary, and now Xia He does not dare to attack the Half-Elf Empire, and he will have to wait until next year, because there are no legendary powerhouses in his army. Even if the city of the half-elf is bulldozed, it may be made useless by a legendary half-elf, and the army will be defeated.

Even if you gather the strength of the army and kill the legend, your own losses will be unbearable.

Among the mages who have taken refuge in Xiahe now, there are some epics that can be forcibly promoted to the legendary realm, and they have no hope at all. But Xia He himself is not a legend, and he doesn't dare to do this. If you can't suppress your subordinates, anything can happen.

A legend is not only an increase in strength, but also a change in mentality.

People who are forcibly promoted to the legendary realm will have a very unstable mentality. After Xia He has to be promoted to the Yang God True Person, he can leave a hint in the heart of the legend, so that such a person can be honest and do this kind of thing.

Xia He returned to the Marquis' Mansion in Sun City and summoned his confidants.

Su Blood and Su Qi are both in Sun City, and it is Golia who presides over the daily physical objects in Sun City, but the entire Marquis Mansion, including Cape Storm, Rhode Island, and the underground world, is Freya in charge. She is a deity, and her energy is there, and her mind can also divide into many thoughts, and at the same time process a large number of physical objects.

The one in charge of communication is Cotton Jack, and he is also responsible for the development of the whole of Rhode Island.

Medirri didn't care about anything else, she focused on training her Knights. Today, the Medierri Knights are still 3,000 elites and 18,000 auxiliaries. However, the number of ships has increased to nine, and some tanks have been added. The number of mages in the auxiliaries has increased, and because the magic net has begun to bear fruit, some new professionals who were born in Rhode Island and are more reliable have become auxiliary mages.

They didn't care about the future, they were just civilians, and they never thought they could master the magical power of magic.

Now the lords have given them opportunities, given them wealth, and most importantly, given hope to their children.

There are now nearly a hundred small nobles like Baron Nietzsche who have taken refuge in Xiahe. But Baron Nietzsche was the best in it. One is that there is money in the family, and the family is prosperous. He had a son and a nephew who were both sent to Cape Storm and became Taoist priests.

So Baron Nietzsche is now in Sun City, and his status is not low.

The Knights of Sun City, he is the one who manages. This order of five hundred people is considered a formidable force. In addition to the Knights of Sun City, the legions of Sun City itself are still in charge of Baron Nietzsche. The number of this legion was 12,000 men, and they were all elite soldiers selected from the city of Five Faces.

Baron Nietzsche was satisfied, and there were more than a dozen children in his family, all of whom were given to Xia He for training.

Although Xia He told him that only two of them will have a big future. But it's a blessing to have two. He knew that the lord's so-called standard of interest was definitely one in a million.

Xia He said to everyone: "In the second half of the year, around October, I will try to attack the eastern coast of the Half-Elf Empire, of course, not in my own name. When the time comes, some nobles may be united. In the beginning, I committed a small fleet, seven ships, and a thousand troops. ”

On this side of Xiahe, there will be 5,000 auxiliaries following with 1,000 army troops, all in a ratio of 1:5. He said a thousand, and in fact there would be six thousand people involved.

"Then, I need an observation group, to go with the army, but not to join the fight. ”

"Even if there is a loss?" Cottonjack wanted to be sure.

"Yes, even if there are losses, as long as the enemy does not dispatch the legendary forces, the Mission is only responsible for assessing. There weren't many of us on this trip, and we weren't the most elite part, but we all qualified. The usual drills, everyone has seen the data, which is very satisfying, however, without real combat, no one knows what they are like. ”

Xia He assigned the next task, and the people in charge of observation were not present, and in terms of mages, Xia He asked his student Shrek to be in charge of the separate student he later received, and the warrior side was the double swordsman Jani. These two people have made great progress, leading more than 100 people, riding in floating airships, and monitoring all the details of the battle at high altitudes.

The advantage of the floating airship is that when it is suspended, the consumption is quite small. And flying battleships, just the opposite.

Xia He made some floating airships by himself, which can carry more than a hundred people, and are actually equipped with weapons, puppets, supplies, and can be self-sustaining in the air.

It is a bit smaller than the Empire's medium airships, and its protection is about the same. There are mainly more magical equipment for monitoring, and at an altitude of seven or eight thousand meters, you can observe through a flying machine close to the ground. Airships can also communicate with the fleet's flagship and call for support.

In fact, before Xiahe's flying battleship was sold, the empire's magic airship flew faster than many magical beasts, and it was already able to run long distances.

This thing consumes little, is easy to maintain, and will not be completely eliminated in the future.

"Next, everyone will work harder, plan the tasks of the year in detail, and complete them all. I'm only going back to Cape Stormstorm next year, and I'll be here this year. If there's anything you can't solve, just come to me. ”

Everyone agreed, and Shrek was outside.

Xia He let him in, this young mage, his face already had a lot of calmness, after he entered the room, he first saluted everyone, and then said: "Lord Lord, my little mage group has found a magic power rough stone mine more than two thousand miles away in the eastern sea. ”

Xia He was happy, he didn't need this thing for his cultivation, but it was a strategic resource, and for a long time, his army had to rely on this thing to fight. Without the Primogem of Mana, he couldn't afford to supply so many knights.

Now there are two core knights in Xiahe, one is the Knights of Medirri, and the other is in Cape Storm, which is the Knights of Asla. The Knights of Asra are relatively young, almost all of them are teenagers, and the number is only five hundred, including a hundred mage knights.

The Knights of Medirli were three thousand, large in size, and all of them rode pale unicorns. The cost of the Fallen Unicorn is too high, and Xia He didn't plan to rebuild it later, no matter how it is improved, there are about 1,200 of them, except for equipping the Knights of Asla, they are basically sealed.

However, the number of Pale Unicorns is larger, and the demand for Magic Rough is greater.

"Tell me about the specifics. Xia He said calmly.

"Yes. I've been sending mages to explore the eastern seas, and last month, I discovered some archipelagos, all of which are too small to be captured. The mages explored near the island to see what magical beasts were entrenched in the sea, and found a vein at the bottom of the sea. This vein is in the eastern part of the archipelago, heading down into the deep sea, and due to the topography, we have not been able to reach the end. ”

"Terrain?"

"To the east of the archipelago, more than ten miles to the east, it is very deep, maybe more than 10,000 meters, our people can't dive that far, but although the magic rough stone vein is faulted, but when it is probed downward, at a depth of more than 1,000 meters, there is still the existence of ore. ”

Xia He was surprised, in this way, the thickness of the ore vein is simply amazing.

"How's the purity?"

"It's not very uniform, and most of the ore quality is not good, but there are some places where the quality is particularly high. Such a thick vein, even if the high-quality ore is less than one percent, is a huge asset. ”

The Xia River is silent, and the archipelago more than 2,000 miles away from Rhode Island has a terrifying climate.

"This matter can't be leaked. ”

"I've already restrained them, it's better to send the little mage group to Stormstorm Point, the news hasn't spread yet. Shrek said calmly.

"How many people are there?"

"Twenty-four, count me in. Shrek said.

"Ten more?"

"I've picked them all, and there's a boat, but the sailors don't know what we're going to do. ”

"In January, it was fine over there, but next month, I'm afraid it won't work. I will handle this matter personally, and these twenty-three people don't need to be sent to Storm Corner, so let's focus on training. Medirri, I'll use your fleet when the time comes. ”

"Do I use it?"

"No, just let Su Blood take charge of it, and I'll mobilize the miners from Stormstorm Horn again. "Xia He didn't say that he wanted the divine soldiers to be in charge of mining, and it would be quite troublesome for humans to collect the veins under the sea. Divine soldiers, ghosts, these things that can walk in the water by nature, with space, can be collected in large quantities.

The collection of magic rough stones is more difficult than raw coal, and the eastern sea is also more dangerous than the northern sea, and the miners of Sun City can't do such a job at all.

The risk, the risk is very high, the eastern sea, has always been quite mysterious, except for December to March every year is relatively calm, the rest of the time the weather is bad, worse than the Cape of Storm. However, Xia He only sent divine soldiers over, plus ghosts and gods, it should not attract anyone's attention.

He already had a large number of magic power primordial stones on hand, and the emperor would not have any suspicions.

This vein must be held in your hands.

Xia He was worried that the supply of magic rough stones would be cut off, so he also asked Freya to take the risk of stealing. Now that he has his own vein, his heart is much more settled.

The center of the magic net on the chariot and the battleship consumes the original mana stone. Pale unicorns, as well as some large construct war puppets, all need rough stones. On the contrary, it is a golem commonly used by mages, and it can be handled with black gold.

The meeting ended in a hurry, and Shrek went to gather his group of little mages to meet Xia He.

Xia He had a long conversation with twenty-four young mages, including Shrek, in the study. No mage wanted wealth, and these twenty-four people all chose to continue to follow Xia He. What Xia He needs to pay is cultivation resources, including the supply of soul fluid.

Xia He promises that each of them can become a legendary mage.
