"Of course, there will be accidents, because many followers have a higher class than magicians, and the contest is not a battle of life and death, if there is a special situation, injuring the magician or even killing the magician, it will not be sanctioned by the imperial code, this is only a personal matter, so when accepting followers, magicians will also be extra careful. β
"What you're saying seems to be in favor of the samurai of your followers, so why should I accept someone else's following?" Feleg asked, and of the few magicians he had seen, none of them seemed to have followers around him.
"In peacetime, it is true that a magician is reluctant to accept the following of a samurai, even if the samurai is of a very high rank. There are obligations and of course rights, the mage can give any orders to the followers, and the followers also have the obligation to protect the mage. β
"Any order? What if I let him kill someone?"
"Of course, but any responsibility that arises after the killing is the responsibility of the magician who gave the order, not the samurai, so those who accept followers must be careful. Merlin patiently explained, which she thought was very important to Mentor Feleg.
"I don't need their help to kill people, and I don't think I need their protection, is that necessary?" Feleg thought for a moment, still not thinking it was necessary to accept followers.
If the follower is too strong, he will be in danger when he accepts the challenge, and what reason is there for a samurai who is stronger than a mage?
"As I said earlier, it is not necessary in peacetime, but war is coming, and it is very necessary at this time. Merlin said.
"Bring a group of thugs?" Feleg shook his head and laughed, it is inevitable that magicians will go to the battlefield, but the empire will not let magicians go to the battlefield by themselves, not to mention that magicians have the title of earl, they can have three thousand private troops, before the war starts, they will definitely replenish enough manpower, these private armies are much more reliable than followers.
"Not a thug, on the battlefield, if you have a group of followers you can rely on, the benefits are very obvious. With them, you can use magic with confidence, you don't need to put half of your magic power on the magic shield, which can greatly increase the strength of your magic attack and the time to release your magic, after all, the magic shield consumes almost half of the magic power of the magician. Merlin said.
"Ah......h
"But...... But how can I rely on which followers?" Feleg knew that the private army was relatively more loyal, but their ability was limited, and if the enemy sent strong warriors, it would probably not be able to stop them by relying on these private armies, well, the followers themselves were mid-level or high-level samurai.
"It takes time, mages don't trust their followers easily, samurai know this very well, so they need to be together as long as possible, while the samurai grows, the mage grows too, so they can always give their followers different inspirations and help them break through bottlenecks, trustworthy followers, just like your brothers, are the ones who can give your life to them for protection on the battlefield. β
"It's so difficult, how young is that? not ten or eight years, I'm afraid I can't fully trust them. Feleg shook his head, the war will start next year, how can he have ten years?
"Yes, starting next year, it will only be a ten-year war between the eight empires of the Eastern Continent, the goal of this war is actually to train troops, and each empire will try to reduce the casualties of the army as much as possible, and the enemy country will not kill and abuse prisoners, and as for the mutilation of civilians, this kind of thing will not happen. Relatively speaking, the ten-year war was a war of light casualties, and it was just a good time to use this time to run in with each other and get to know each other. Merlin said.
"Oh, there is some truth, can you tell me about the rules of the ten-year war?" said Feleg, who was still very interested in the ten-year war aimed at training.
The gods in the sky are really weird, so that the empires of the two continents have to make such a choice, ten years of war, even if the casualties are reduced as much as possible, I don't know how many people will die.
"The ten-year war is also a real war, and it is not a pretense, it is to train real iron-blooded soldiers. Although everyone tried to reduce the casualties as much as possible, it was still very tragic in reality, and the soldiers and generals who killed the red-eyed sometimes completely forgot the purpose of this war. β
"But in the ten-year war, when it was certain to be lost, surrender was allowed, redemption was allowed, and slavery was allowed. Merlin said.
The first two points are not difficult to understand, it is not strange to surrender after losing the battle, as for the redemption of hostages, it is more normal, Prince Wenbin is his own prisoner, when he captures him, Feleg inexplicably said a victory speech, he didn't know at the time, there was no victory speech in the war.
"Slaves are allowed to exist?" Feleg knew that in the entire Eastern Continent, among the eight empires, no country allowed slaves to exist, and the lowest untouchables were not slaves, they also had personal freedom, and only criminals would lose their freedom. There is only a difference in duties and rights between the classes.
Slavery, which is a word that only exists in books, means the loss of everything, not only freedom, but also rights and even personality.
"Yes, in the Ten Years' War, slaves were allowed to exist, and captured soldiers, if they did not have the money to redeem their freedom, or if they failed to deliver the ransom on time within the prescribed time, became the slaves of the victors. According to the rules of our empire, if you get two slaves on the battlefield, one of them will be handed over to the empire. β
"What is the allotted time?"
"It depends on the status of the enemy you captured, the empire to which he belongs, and the time of redemption will vary depending on the situation. β
"I think you've moved me, but I don't know, how many followers should I accept, and what kind of followers do I need?"
"It depends on the status of the enemy you captured, the distance of the empire to which he belongs, and depending on the situation, there will be different redemption times. β
"I think you've moved me, but I don't know, how many followers should I accept, and what kind of followers do I need?"
The ten-year war may be easier, but when the Centennial Continental War starts, the situation at that time does not know how bad it will be, and it is always not a bad thing to increase the strength.
Fortunately, the Auckland Empire is not a country close to the Hengduan Mountains, and before reaching the mountains, there are still two empires, and I think the Western Continent is not strong enough to wipe out the two empires soon.
"You're a junior mage now, and I'd recommend that you take five to eight followers, or you'll have to spend too much time taking on their challenges, and it's not worth it. As for the ranks, I think it's more appropriate for you to accept at least a samurai between the thirteenth and fifteenth levels. Their combat power is about the same as yours, and it may be difficult for you to defeat a fifteenth-level warrior, but it's not too bad. Merlin said very seriously, followers are very important to mages, especially those in war.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it, or should I send a notice or something?" Feleg really didn't know where to find his followers, high-ranking samurai, would he want to be his followers?
"It's easy, the Imperial Academy of Magic has an elite samurai academy, just send out a notice there. The samurai who came out of the elite samurai academy were all above level ten, and some of them were very good, so you can also consider it, and many of the samurai who graduated from there reached the level of high-level samurai, and they would often go back to the academy to visit their teachers, or make guest appearances as lecturers. β
"Very good, I'll put up a notice when I get back. Feleg nodded in response.
After talking about the followers, Merlin enters a meditative state to replenish her exhausted mana, while Feleg begins to forge new armor, as he says, mana control, like mana increase, is never end, and requires constant cultivation.
Every time he creates something new, whether it's a weapon or armor, Feleg will do his best, put all his spirit into it, and finish it in the best condition.
Refining memory metal from ore is not difficult, even a magic apprentice can do it, just at a slower pace. However, in the process of refining, it is very difficult to control their shapes and slowly transform them into a pair of armor. The most important of these is naturally the level of control of the magic.
Unfortunately, alchemists are even worse at magic, they are much worse than magic apprentices, and although they know more about armor weapons, they can't refine and craft memory metal equipment.
In the past few months, he has spent a lot of time on the road, but Feleg has never given up his practice, especially during the time in Little Bear City, seeing Merlin working so hard, he also concentrated on cultivating magic, where there are too few magic elements, he also uses elemental crystals to meditate, the effect is not as good as Merlin, but it is okay, at least not worse than extracting magic elements from space.
This time it took only two hours, and the armor was basically completed. With a heart move, Feleg used magic control under the armor to carve out his last name, 'Randy', and he remembered that when he started to build the broadsword and staff, he carved the words on it. But at that time, the level of mana control was still too poor.
The words on it were so big and ugly that it was almost impossible to make out what they were if you didn't make them carefully, but now it's different, Randy's two small characters are beautiful and clear, and they're very small. Looking at these two words in meditation, Feleg was very satisfied, and it seemed that his level of magic control had improved a lot.
