"Ladies and gentlemen, I just think that the value of their death is too low, if it weren't for fighting in the forest, these mercenaries would at least be on par with the combat power of the half-elves. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"But this is the forest. "Freya is also very helpless, there are some problems with the thoughts of adults.

"There are a lot of mercenaries, and if you attack the Half-Elf Empire in the future, it is impossible for all of them to be the main force of the Empire. I think the problem of mercenaries is that the equipment is not uniform enough, and the training is not strict enough...... "Xia He couldn't go on talking anymore, he found that if he continued, there would be too many problems for mercenaries, and he couldn't solve them at all."

"Your Excellency......" Medir Lidu sighed.

Xia He shook his head, he had a problem, he must have been affected by you. It turns out that I am a very normal Taoist priest, but what is on my mind now?

"Okay, this time we're going to try our best to save Rorods, and when I get back, I'll put a blueprint out of it, called the Forest Suit, for human soldiers. Increases the chances of humans surviving in the forest. ”

"My lord, why bother, we have experienced twenty-three attacks, twenty-four people have died, and on average only one death per attack, this is already a high chance of survival. Medirli looked dissatisfied, why should she let her knights protect the mercenaries?

Xia He suddenly found that no one agreed with his idea, and he thought about it again, if every mercenary could die well and maximize the value, it would be better to use those funds to arm his knights.

It's not a human issue, it's just a simple economic one.

Arming a mercenary with a hundred gold coins, it is better to spend this hundred gold coins on the knight, the effect will be several times higher. The same knight suit scroll is used for his own subordinates and used for mercenaries, and the effect is very different. His own knights used scrolls to charge, and they could crush a few level 20 magicians without any pressure, but what about mercenaries?

"My lord, you weren't so soft-hearted when you killed Glinsky. Freya said.

"Glinski touched my bottom line and was going to take my stuff. ”

"Aren't these mercenaries the same? they all want to take benefits from adults, but they don't dare to rob or steal openly, so they can only follow your rules. ”

"Forget it, it's my fault. Xia He raised his hand and motioned for everyone to say no more.

"Since it's your fault, ...... you"

"I won't be like that in the future. Xia He was forced to admit his mistake and quickly correct his attitude. It is better to arm 100,000 mercenaries than to arm 10,000 regular knights. It is better to arm a million civilians than to arm a hundred thousand mercenaries. It's a very simple truth, and he can't turn the corner for a while.

"Then I'll say a few words, now it should be less than seven hundred miles away from the small secret realm, we march, relying on group acceleration skills, if only our own knights are here, we can walk two hundred and sixty miles a day, and it takes more than ten hours to walk, which is also quite hard. But with the mercenaries here, the speed was dragged even slower, and their speed was only two-thirds of that of the knights, and it couldn't last. ”

Freya said as she looked at Xia He, who also regretted it.

When the imperial army marched, there was a standard for a three-day rapid march, that is, relying on two legs and carrying their own weights, they walked a distance of 800 miles. It also requires that no more than 10 percent of the total personnel be left behind, and that they can immediately devote themselves to a battle when they arrive at their destination.

Xia He's requirements for knights are slightly lower, but they are close to this value, and Ovilla trains knights according to the elite standards of the empire.

"Originally, the empire had airships, which were specially used to transport troops over long distances, and could also adapt to most terrain environments. So we don't need to make any special transport equipment for mercenaries, if we do, I recommend this ......"

Freya said, taking out a toy and placing it on the alchemy tablet.

The toy, the size of a palm, cut from wood and with four movable legs, rests on an alchemical slab and moves forward mechanically.

"This is a Trojan horse, and a level 10 magician can charge it, and it can run for more than ten hours at a time. The advantage is, of course, that it is cheap, the price of a gold coin can be used for tens of thousands of miles, two hundred hours. The disadvantage is that it has no combat effectiveness, it is just a simple means of transportation, it is easy to destroy, and it must be accompanied by a mage to operate. ”

Xia He was speechless, isn't this the spell of the paper man and paper horse in the Taoist technique, which was improved into magical equipment by Freya.

Freya said: "Wood is everywhere, this equipment doesn't need to be good wood, no matter how good the wood is, it can't triple its lifespan, it's better to use ordinary goods." This thing can be made by magicians above level 10 through alchemy equipment, and the initial mold can be completed by ordinary people. ”

Medirli said: "The speed of this thing can be fifty miles per hour?"

"That's right, it's pretty smooth. ”

"Can you speed it up?"

"If you want to use it as a cavalry mount, don't think about it, it can't withstand the power of battle qi, and it will collapse at once. Freya thought to herself, this thing was originally for ghost soldiers, and with the blessing of Taoism, it could be used as a combat weapon.

She launched this thing, not really to improve the efficiency of mercenaries, but to make the world accept similar things, in the future, when adults establish the underworld, there will definitely be ghost soldiers, ghost soldiers possess paper people, ride paper horses, and can operate in the main world.

"That's the end of the mercenary business, as long as they can keep up with the big army. In the past few days, everyone has worked hard, try to rush to the small secret realm within three days, rest near the small secret realm, and then solve the enemy in one go. ”

Cotton Jack listened inexplicably, and it can be solved when he goes?

"The Imperial Army, it won't be much slower than us, and we're not the only rescue team, the harassment of the half-elves will be much less tomorrow, so let's just recuperate. "After Freya launched the Trojan Horse, she was in no mood to do anything else, and she spoke hastily.

The soldiers worked very hard, Xia He did not arrange for them to keep vigil, and handed over the task to the two scout teams, so that tomorrow the scout team would not have to explore the way, and could follow the knights.

Medirri also goes on patrol, and Cottonjack joins the students to exchange magic.

In the tent, only Xia He and Freya were left.

"My lord, should we build the dungeon first?" On the alchemy slate, the toy wooden horse that Freya put was still running, running to the edge of the slate, and it would automatically turn around, so you don't have to worry about falling to the ground.

"If the underworld appears, it will be hit by the Dao Palace first, and there is no room for negotiation on the issue of soul ownership. When the Dao Palace enters a world, the first thing to be destroyed is an existence such as the Hades God. The Dao Palace itself will also establish the Heavenly Court first, and then build the Underground Palace. ”

"Then establish a sect that can support ghosts and gods, my lord, the role of this ghost soldier cannot be ignored, and now I can see it in this world, the loopholes are simply messy, the invaders will come in waves, and the problem of our lack of manpower will always exist. ”

"That's fine, you can plan a sect, choose a child to be the leader, and then teach the way of ghosts and gods, a sect, with three thousand ghost soldiers, it's almost the same. ”

"My lord, I'm here, I've collected a lot of wood, made a lot of parts, and tomorrow I can put together two hundred Trojans. It's just that the half-elves will always sneak attack, and even if there is a Trojan horse, it is difficult to guarantee the speed. ”

"Freya, how much does this thing cost?"

"It's hard to say, the main cost is wood, and then the materials needed to draw the magic array, all of which are bargains. Purely look at the location of the alchemy factory, the cost of restocking. Anyway, in this forest, wood doesn't cost money, labor is free, and the students use magic to bake wood, if it is in the academy, a wooden horse is made like this, and it can't be produced without hundreds of gold coins, right?"

Xia He understood, this thing is really a bargain.

"Is it a good imitation?"

"If you are a legendary mage, you may be able to see through the key, and it is impossible to disassemble and study under the legend, and it will be rotten as soon as it is dismantled. And if we sell a gold coin, I guess no one wants to grab this market. And the empire has airships, this thing will never become mainstream, and it will not be expensive. ”

"Not necessarily, it's good to use it to pull a car. ”

"It's so ugly. Freya pouted.

"Are you stupid? It's not easy to make it beautiful? The carving is fine, the decoration is gorgeous, and you can take it off and replace it with the next one. ”

Freya patted her forehead and said with a smile: "I'm really stupid, I don't have to sell it as a military item, this thing is best sold to nobles." It costs them a lot of money to raise horses, so it is better to exchange the money for jewelry and set it on it. When the horse dies, the money is gone, this thing is ruined, and the jewels are still there!"

"That's the truth. ”

"Your Excellency, it's time for us to make up our minds. ”

"How?"

"Actually, I grabbed a lot of money in Stormstorm Corner last time, and I didn't dare to spend it, now that Lord Daojun has a way back, now the construction academy is the first, in Stormstorm Corner, outside the goblin ruins. ”

"But the matter of the ocean godhead is not over yet, there may be a big war over there, and if you invest it rashly now, you may lose all your money. ”

"My lord, a real talent, will soon be transferred to the Taiyin Immortal Mansion to practice Taoism. Although Yelena and the others are halfway monks, they can be regarded as qualified, and they can all achieve Yin God, at most, their achievements will not be high in the future. If we don't do it right away, when will we be able to complete it......"

"Okay, you can prepare, and when this time is over, go to Rhode Island, choose to immigrate, and go to Cape Stormwind. ”

"Immigrants?" Freya startled, how many people could fit in Storm's Corner.

"Cape Storm is a big island, and the worst thing is that there are storms that come every year, and the rainstorms can last a long time, making them unsuitable for farming. However, if the goblin remains are developed, farming will not be a big problem. Those who know will clean it up slowly, and the ruins will be sealed off in the future, and it will be enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people to live and be self-sufficient. ”
