Chapter 529: Descending from the Wind

Xia He's team, before reaching the second target, encountered obstacles.

The enemy was a human army, about eight hundred people, armed with ten chariots, with miniature magic cannons and magic ballistas.

Xia He's flying battleship went directly to knock out these heavy equipment, in addition to the enemy's chariots, there were also two steel puppets carried by the army.

By the time the flying battleship retreated, there were only more than five hundred enemies left on the ground.

The rebellion of the Northland nobles in the past two years has missed the opportunity for the Imperial nobles to change their clothes, and it is impossible for the Empire to provide them with new equipment. The more than 500 soldiers were a little dazed, and Xiahe's army had already accelerated its march less than ten miles away.

When the distance between the two sides was two miles, the speed of the academy mercenaries slowed down and re-lined up.

The chariot was behind, and more than 200 soldiers were maintaining it. On each flank were a hundred Sun City cavalry, two hundred heavily armored cavalry infantry in front, and five hundred musketeers in the rear. Two hundred reserves.

The team was upright and charged head-on, and when more than 500 meters were separated, the musketeers attacked.

The magic projectile roared by, and the viscount's soldiers, the longest range of the bow and arrow was only three hundred meters, and the ideal killing effect was within one hundred meters. The magic cannons and ballistas have been knocked out, and it was a one-sided slaughter.

The students brought by Xia He were a little unbearable when they saw this scene.

"Headmaster, why don't you recruit them?"

"Because it's not time to show mercy. Now showing mercy will be seen as weakness by the enemy. ”

The students don't understand very well, but they can't say anything, since the principal has a decision, they are not even executors, they are just here to study, why are they talking too much.

The academy mercenaries are approaching step by step, and the closer they get, the stronger the killing effect.

The Viscount's soldiers, soon crumbling, turned and fled. The line of advance of the hoplites became an ornament, the musketeers did not pursue, and the cavalry on both flanks rushed behind.

These two hundred cavalrymen are veterans who have been trained for a long time in Sun City, and they can also shoot and aim on their mounts while galloping fast. The viscount's archers don't have the ability to flee at high speed and attack at the same time, and even if they do, these cavalrymen don't care.

Bang! bang......

On Xia He's face, there was no unbearable look. This kind of enemy, he will not use it to refine the soul, and when he dies, he will return to nature, there is no god of the underworld in this world, and there is no question of soul reincarnation. Death is the end and liberation.

Normally, the Taoist priest will adopt an attitude of forgiveness towards the soul.

But this kind of forgiveness is only for one's own world, as well as for the human race.

These soldiers, bad luck, Xia He now needs Liwei. Otherwise, most of them will survive.

It's just the generation difference of weapons, a short field battle, the academy mercenaries wiped out the enemy, although the number of enemies is small, but the equipment is good, if it is before, this battle, the loss on the Xia River side will not be small.

It's still the old rule, clean the battlefield, count the loot.

The most valuable things that have been smashed are magic cannons and steel golems. But there is no way, if this thing stays, it will pose a threat to the lives of Xiahe's army.

However, it finally has recycling value, and Xia He asked the magic net mage to disassemble the materials and put them away by himself.

Then he spent his time burning hundreds of enemies to ashes and setting up a cemetery in the middle of the wilderness. The magician turned mud into stone and erected a blank tombstone. Among the ashes were the belongings of the deceased. But Xia He knew that no one would come to check on him.

The students don't understand, why are you tossing all this?

Xia He said to the students seriously: "This is a respect for the dead of the Terran race, if it is a half-elf, I will cut off their heads and put them on the ground, so that other people can take a good look at what the end of the confrontation with the Terran is." ”

The students understand this time, and they can understand the respect for the human race itself.

Because of the education of the empire, there are some similar things mixed in.

However, Xia He didn't say that if the enemy was a soul above the legend, then he would not be welcome. Legendary souls are likely to be reincarnated unless they are severely damaged. But even if it is a Yang Shinto Taoist, reincarnation will have a mystery in the womb, let alone a magician who has not studied it.

The cold wind was cold, and Xia He temporarily camped not far from the battlefield, even if it was a short battle, it would have an impact on the soldiers, the pressure on the soul.

And the way of fighting now, the magic musket needs to be maintained, and it is best to do it once after each battle. Unless the magic musket becomes cheaper, you can throw it away.

The problem is that backward things are not cheap, this thing is still used on a large scale, and if you can be thrifty, Xia He will not waste it. He has hundreds of thousands of people under his command, each of whom has one to three magic muskets, mainly magicians and some powerhouses over level 20, and magic muskets will be equipped with more.

When he gets rich in the future, Xia He plans to give each soldier at least two, one long and one short.

There are too many things involved, and ordinary soldiers can only use the more rudimentary ones, because they can't maintain the normal use of weapons in a special environment, no matter how expensive they are. Magicians can obtain weapons with multiple attributes, and professionals who are more than level 20 can also protect the magic musket in their hands and let it fire normally.

Temporary camp, the defense is simple, but the chariots are surrounded, and the defense attribute is still okay.

The soldiers maintain their weapons, the magic net mages disassemble the loot, and soon it is night. Xia He ordered the soldiers to take a short break, and then set up a stove on the spot and let the soldiers eat a hot meal of meat.

The second castle is not far away, which is where Viscount Murphy's iron mine is located.

Before Xiahe sent troops, a team of ten people came to Xiahe's camp.

"Lord Marquis, I am the chief knight of Huaihua Castle, and on behalf of the castle, I surrender to you. ”

In Xia He's tent, the soldiers who came to the camp knelt in front of Xia He and raised their long swords above their heads.

"Knight, you surrender to me, what about your loyalty to the Viscount?" Xia He looked at this young knight, who was also in his early thirties, and had the strength to be close to an epic. It should be the most trusted person around the viscount. It is not easy for a viscount to be able to afford such a talent.

"Sophora Castle, I don't want to be destroyed. I am not your opponent, I can only surrender, but not surrender. I am your captive, and I would appreciate it if you would let the viscount ransom me with money. ”

Xia He smiled and said, "How can there be such a good thing, your viscount, you owe me a lot of money." This time, I sent troops to fight, and the funds I spent had to be paid by him. If he refuses...... You'll be a knight who has lost your lord. ”

The knight was gloomy, but there was nothing he could do.

The viscount obviously did something wrong, he couldn't fight against the blood mage, and the promises of the other Northland nobles were useless.

"But it's best not to fight, since you surrendered, I won't embarrass the people of Huaihua Castle, I will send you to the academy and be a prisoner. If the viscount refuses to surrender and refuse to pay the gold coins owed to me, I can only say sorry, but you don't have to pay the ransom anymore, and if you don't surrender at that time, I will execute you. ”

"Thank you, Lord Marquis. The knight put down his sword and silently withdrew from the tent.

Naturally, someone went to escort the captives, and on this side of the Xia River, they sent people to investigate, and sure enough, Huaihua Castle was no longer defended. Xiahe's people went over and handed over the management authority.

Xia He sent another person to escort the captives to the Tenth Magic Academy. When passing by the Maple Grove White Frost Castle, he asked the castle to replenish the troops.

Xia He's magic musket tactics have requirements for the number of soldiers, and if there are less than a thousand people, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Because the enemy is a Northland nobleman who has lost a lot of soldiers, considering that the scale will not exceed 10,000 at all, they are all scattered in various castles and cities, otherwise Xia He will bring more people out.

On the side of Huaihua Castle, the iron ore is closer, and Xia He went around, and like the Maple Forest White Frost Castle, a large amount of steel has been accumulated in the warehouse. Xia He was satisfied, and went to see the iron ore, which has large reserves, good quality, and easy mining.

This kind of viscount, why not get killed?

This castle is the core area of the viscountdom, and the area is relatively large, and the mine itself is a small town, with the ability to directly refine steel. However, steel is not raw coal, so it cannot be further refined and compressed, and it takes a lot of effort to transport these steels back.

With a teleportation array, the price would be too great.

The quality of the teleportation array is calculated, the price of steel is the cheapest at the place of origin, and the additional price behind it comes from the cost of transportation.

I'm afraid that no one will use a teleportation array to teleport steel, and Xia He can't be so extravagant.

I had to transport it back to the academy first, and then I said, the academy does not have a magic airship, which does not mean that there will be no in the future. It is still cheap for large airships to transport materials, but there are very few places where large airships are made, and Xia He has never made them himself.

You can only rely on medium-sized magic airships, plus some magicians, carry badges, and use the badge space to transport.

All the steel was shipped to Sun City, and it was okay if it was sent to Cape Stormstorm by sea ship, anyway, there would be training and fleets going back and forth.

Sea ships are not sinkable, and it is cheaper to transport supplies than anything else.

Xia He was in no hurry to continue the attack, and began to collect resources at Huaihua Castle, and then asked Freya to send someone over and bring parts for the large mining golem. He's going to mine directly here. The alchemy equipment in this mine is large and advanced, and the output will be very high.

If no one stops me, Xia He will always be mined here.

The next day, on the side of Sun City, the god sent Su Blood over to take charge of the mine. On the third day, a magic airship, with five hundred knights, landed directly at the Huaihua Castle.

The one who led the knight was Medirli.

On the fifth day, the chief knight of the Bronze Bull Castle brought people over and surrendered. At this point, all three castles of Viscount Murphy fell. Xia He didn't know why the viscount hadn't sent someone over. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
