Chapter 521: Preparation
"My lord, what do you mean by the need for training?" Nicholas did not understand military affairs, and what he was trained to do had nothing to do with war. His pattern is not too big, and he does shady things.
Xia Hedao: "Every time a flying battleship is trained, what is burned when it flies is gold coins, and I always feel that it is a waste if I don't blow up something." The Earl of Notting Hill surrendered early, and there are still a few groups of soldiers on my side who have not been trained properly. ”
His Majesty Nicholas Khan, Asra is going to train soldiers?
"Anyway, I'll get these expenses back on them in the end. It's only October now, and I'll wait until January next year. It is possible in advance, depending entirely on their attitude. ”
"Okay, I'm going to do it, but I think it's better not to cause death. ”
"I'm dead, who am I going to collect money from?" Xia He said with a smile.
Nicholas didn't plan to persuade anymore, anyway, the blood mages had to deal with people who had betrayed His Majesty.
Xia He took the magic tower, and he didn't want to really manage it carefully, but he still had to do it. Expand the alchemy laboratory, invite the legendary mage to sit as the vice principal, train the academy mercenaries, and then let the students organize an army, and the emperor will directly enter the battlefield when he needs it.
Xiahe doesn't need to do things by himself now, as long as he gives an order, there are many people to do it. It's a pretty good feeling, and it's what a lord should be.
However, Xia He is not easy, and he has to consider all three important territories.
In order to form a large-scale academy mercenary, weapons and equipment must be missing. Xia He didn't really plan to send troops to attack the territory of the Northland nobles, and the way of attack was the same as dealing with the Earl of Notting Hill. Just let the flying battleship blow it up.
After two years of optimization, the manufacturing cost of the flying battleship is actually less than 5,000 gold coins, Xia He still sells 80,000 gold coins, and only buys a complete set of power cores, and he does not reduce the price, he loves to buy it or not.
The maintenance cost of this thing is not high, and where the consumption is high, it is still energy. Whether it's black gold, magic rough, or any other gemstone, it doesn't reduce the cost much.
If the flying battleship wants to strengthen its protection, it will add more money, which is a bit contrary to Xiahe's original intention. This was originally a low-level version, and what he was going to build in the end was a battleship that could fly into the stars. If it is deployed in the starry sky, it can enter the atmosphere at any time to attack, and the driver can sleep in it, with the technology at hand in Xia He, if you sleep for half a year, there is no health impact on the driver.
Xia He plans to transfer a batch of flying battleships to the Academy of Magic to supplement the weapons and equipment of the academy's mercenaries.
You'll also need a variety of magic muskets, wooden horses, chariots, and magic airships. Transporting supplies, or magic airships are cheaper, and there are many things to carry.
Xia He is in the magic tower, making the final optimization of the flying battleship, and if it is advanced in the future, it can only be the level of the star battleship. Battleships flying in the atmosphere, so that it will be enough.
The battleship is still in the shape of an arrow with acute angles, a flat design, and five power cores, which are also distributed in an arrow state. Xia He's design, with a power core destroyed on each side, can still fly. In the most extreme state, as long as the core in front is retained, this thing can land safely.
The battleship was more than fourteen meters long, and the hull was painted with the pattern of the Divine Fire Raven with magic patterns on the top and bottom of the ship.
On both sides of the front of the battleship, new weapons for precision ground attacks were added. Two magic cannons that fire live ammunition no longer attack with elemental orbs.
The Orb is lethal and has good defense-breaking performance against any target, but the disadvantage is that the launch speed is too slow. Not to mention warming up, you have to rest after ejaculation. The space of the flying battleship is small, and the requirements for the magic cannon become high.
The cost of the changed magic cannon, which fires live ammunition, has been drastically reduced, but the cost of shells has skyrocketed. If you want to achieve the killing effect of the elemental ball, the cost of use has been increased several times. However, this kind of live ammunition can be turned in the air, has a magic tracking device, can be released without hovering, and the attack frequency is also very fast.
This saves money spent while hovering for attack, and it doesn't cost you a loss.
If it is a starry battleship and the space is large enough, it is better and cheaper to attack with elemental balls. Xia He changed the structure and added magic patterns for his flying battleship, and when flying, he would use wind element magic to form a more optimized power structure outside the battleship.
Then there's the one weapon that adds ground attack, the Large Reel Sequence Launcher.
The so-called large, compared with the magician's own use, the physical object is one meter in diameter, using the most mature and low-cost structure in the empire, which can store four large scrolls.
This is the main weapon of the ground attack, which is launched at once to form a chain of magic.
Then there is the top of the battleship, there is also a scroll sequence launcher, this is for self-defense, if the enemy also has flying equipment close, use this sequence launcher to attack.
This serial transmitter is disposable and inexpensive.
Because if it is a legendary powerhouse attacking, this flying battleship will definitely not be able to escape, if it is not a legend, a one-time one is enough.
The cabin can accommodate six people, but usually, only five people are enough, and at its limit, one person can fly. Of the five men, two are responsible for driving in turns, two are responsible for firing weapons, and one is resting and can be substituted at any time.
In Xia He's own flying battleship, there is also a miniature magic net, which can provide spell support for the magic net mage.
Xia He's plan, in the future, this kind of flying device, it is impossible for the battle mage to open it. The value of a battle mage is high, and it is not easy to practice, while a magic net mage, as long as the quality is similar, can be cultivated.
Demon Net Mage, it's not that you can't become a legend, but to be promoted to a legend, the resources required are too great, and no one is willing to pay this money.
Isn't it stupid to spend hundreds of times more money to cultivate a legend, or to be inseparable from the legend of the magic net.
Xia He immediately sent his plan drawings to Freya, and Freya handed them directly to the Taoist priests of the Taiyin Immortal Mansion for final processing. Xia He doesn't care about the details, it takes a lot of time.
Xia He then optimized the magic gun and magic bullet, and these were left to the magicians of his academy to deal with.
Xia He wants to open an alchemy factory here at the Tenth Academy of Magic, and among the things it produces, there are magic bullets. Now that the magic bullets are all made of all-metal, he wants to make magic bullets from double-layer materials. The core is a material made from raw cinders, covered with a thin layer of magical metal.
The core of this magic bullet can make very complex magic arrays, and the cost is also low, making it suitable for mass production. The current magic bullets, Xia He is also distressed to use, after every training, he has to collect discarded bullets everywhere, recycle and refine.
Moreover, the new magic bullet, only when it is launched, the core magic array is activated, and it will exceed the weight of the original metal bullet. The storage state, the weight is much lighter, and the soldier can carry a little more.
And when you train, you can look back, on the battlefield, shoot out is shoot out.
After Xia He sent out the task, he called his hundred soldiers. I told them that I wanted to form a large mercenary group and make them the backbone.
Xia He gave the soldiers at the head a ready-made framework and asked him to raise it, and then he sent a message to Sun City, asking Sun City to seconded some magicians to help complete the construction of the academy's mercenary group.
Among the academy mercenaries, the user of the flying battleship, Xia He will not let outsiders come, it must be his own army from Sun City. His purpose is also training. Anyway, it usually costs money to train, and this time it also costs money, two in one, to save costs.
Xiahe moved a lot, and the students dug three feet into the ground in the name of surveying and mapping the floating city, and really found a hidden location. It was an abandoned underground alchemy factory, and the things had long been emptied, and Jennifer had left some gold coins, equipment, and various books there, which were quite large.
Xia He registered directly and moved back to the principal's office of the college.
This matter was handed over to Nicholas, Xia He didn't care about this, he was busy choosing the address, building the factory, and there was a steady stream of people coming from Sun City. The academy mercenary group quickly set up a shelf.
At the end of the year, the imperial capital confirmed that Xia He was turned into a regular and became the veritable principal of the Monk Magic Academy. However, the matter of the vice principal will not be able to be solved for a while. Xia He estimated that it was the emperor who knew that he was going to toss and didn't want the legends of the three major academies to mix with him.
Otherwise, it is equivalent to endorsing yourself.
The emperor has pardoned those guys, and Xiahe's toss must have nothing to do with the emperor. Xia He didn't expect Juno III to have a face!
The nobles of the Northland, who did not take care of the Xia River, sent the letters, and everyone pretended that nothing had happened.
Xia He was quite happy, if they relented, how could they really send troops to fight?
The academy mercenaries are definitely not enough, but Xia He directly transferred more than 5,000 people from Sun City to temporarily serve as academy mercenaries. One hundred and twenty flying battleships are also in place, and the alchemy factory here is producing the magic ammunition that Xia He needs day and night.
On the side of Red Sea City, the battle is going relatively well, and the city has been defeated by the expeditionary force. However, the Half-Elf Empire has also gathered a large number of troops and is approaching Red Sea City.
Xiahe didn't have more troops here, and it was not easy to rely on that little manpower to hold Red Sea City.
Now the expeditionary force still has more than ninety warships, lined up at sea, facing the mainland with naval guns, and can also support the battle of Red Sea City. But Xia He is also unclear whether the half-elf empire will send a legend.
The Merreven family has a legend, but they didn't follow it, and the Merriffin family used an epic mage and brought a forbidden spell scroll.
After Xia He was ready, he took the intelligence information out to see.
Almost all the nobles of the Northland came to their side to arrest the fugitives, and the largest one was the Lamoti family, whose identity was the marquis, and arrested more than 100 people back. According to his own price, it is tens of millions of gold coins.
It's no wonder they won't respond, because when the money is given, it will hurt the bones.
