Two days later, the Ninth City, inside a certain fortress.

Mu En sat at a desk, looking at the golden scroll spread out in front of him, and couldn't help but rub his hands and fall into deep contemplation.

In the upper left corner of the desk, there are also nearly ten letters, stacked on top of each other, looking neat. These have just been sent in by specialized staff, and most of them are letters from the Rose Collar.

Due to the fierce fighting in the previous battles and the shortage of teleportation circles, the mailing of regular letters had been stopped before the war, and after the war ended, these letters were reclassified and put in a centralized manner.

Mu En began to read the letters almost as soon as he got them, the first letters were normal, most of them were Jabbar's regular report to the Rose Collar and some whispers between him and Aya, but when he saw the last few letters, he couldn't help but become solemn.

The Orc Legion Appears?

The descending book of the mountain dwarves?

The demon army of the Demon Abyss has changed?

A demon slaughtering city appeared on the Viku continent?

......

How tragic the battle in the ninth city was, Mu En had personally experienced it, but in this case, the demon still had the heart to make trouble in Atlantis, which was to say that there was no conspiracy in it, and Mu En didn't believe it.

Moreover, Muen agrees with Eliade's view that these things are by no means isolated events, and many seemingly unrelated things are deeply related if viewed from a higher level and perspective.

Of course, compared to Eliade's scarce sources, Munn had access to more information, for example, he knew that the Ninth City was already the last city to be established by the High Council in the Scorched Hell.

For example, when the Ninth City had just been built, the High Council did not even think about consolidating the defensive line, but issued an 'evacuation order'.

Yes, that's right, it's an evacuation order!

Muen's Legion of Glory has received an order from the High Council that they will return to the First City through the portal within a day or two, and then return to the Viku Continent through the huge spatial rift.

At first, Mu En didn't think much about it, after all, the war was over, there were complete city defense facilities in the Ninth City, and there was really no need for so many professionals to be stationed, and it was normal to divert some of them, but then he found out that something was wrong, because there were too many professionals around to pack their bags.

Mu En asked Brad to go out to investigate, and he also asked many people in the transcendent circle, and the comprehensive news surprised him extremely - this was not the evacuation of some people, but the great retreat of the entire Ninth City, and even the entire Scorched Land Prison Professionals, although there was a sequence of time arrangements, but basically everyone received the order to retreat.

"This is a little unbelievable?!The Supreme Council spent so much money to build nine cities in the Scorched Earth Prison, even if it was a collective head cramp, it wouldn't just give up!"

"Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the plan of the High Council has been implemented at the most critical moment, at this time, the professional legions are useless, and all they need is these nine cities. ”

"Returning to the conversation I had with my teacher earlier, it's clear that the latter is more likely, but the question is, what is the Grand Plan of the High Council?"

"Then there is the bottomless abyss, those abyss lords are obviously also arranged, whether it is the turmoil in the Atlanta continent, or the slaughter of the city in the Viku continent, or even the war in the ninth city, it can be regarded as part of their layout.

But the question is, what is their goal?"

"Is it to completely abandon the scorched hell and focus on invading Atlantis?

Or is the chaos in Atlantis just a trick up their sleeve, and they're concentrating their forces against the professionals of the Scorched Hell?

Or do you want to take advantage of the emptiness of the Viku continent to carry out a sneak attack?"

"I can't see through, I really can't see through, I always feel that it won't be so simple!"

Mu En shook his head and took his thoughts back, sometimes it is really the butt that decides the head, he is still far from reaching that height, even if he tries hard to observe from the perspective of a legend, but the gap in the amount of information is too big, and many things are completely incomprehensible.

"However, in any case, this is a game between the bottomless abyss and Atlantis, and winning or losing can almost determine the direction and situation of this side of the world community. The Abyssal Lords and the Thrones of the High Council are each plotting against each other.

As for who is better at chess, it really depends on who is more clever in planning!"

"I'm sure the day when the puzzle will be revealed, and all I can do now is ...... Evacuate. ”

"Although it hasn't been a long time since I've been away, it seems like a long time has passed, and I really don't want to stay for a moment!"

Thinking like this, Mu En suddenly said in a loud voice: "Herald, go and ask Captain Brad to come over." ”

"Yes!" a herald replied.

Ten minutes later, inside the fortress.

"Before the war, there were nine hundred and seventy-five soldiers in the Glory Legion, and nearly a hundred were killed in the Ninth City, and when the decisive battle broke out, only eight hundred and ninety-four remained, and now ...... Only 413 people remained, a reduction of more than 50 percent. Brad took a scroll and read out the data he had counted.

War, what consumes wealth and soldiers.

For wealth, Mu En doesn't care, with the thousand-year-old accumulation of the Igor family and the prosperity of the rose collar, even if the baggage, weapons and armor, mount potions, etc. they consumed in this battle can be regarded as an astronomical amount, but his consumption is up.

But the soldiers, the soldiers of the Glorious Legion, who had lost half of their troops, still made him feel extremely distressed.

This is the result of the Supreme Council taking out a large number of various high-grade potions and excellent concocted food after the war. Taking Mu En as an example, he used to put a large pool of high-grade recovery potions calculated in small bottles, and slept in it for two days before recovering.

Of course, losses are losses, gains are gains, although the Glory Legion at this time has lost more than half of its personnel, its weapons and mounts are not complete, and the silver pedestal has been lost, but purely in terms of combat effectiveness, it has skyrocketed more than ten times.

Only the Glory Legion that has experienced this battle can be ranked among the top legions in the mainland and enjoy the name of 'Glory' safely.

"The remains of each of the fallen soldiers should be collected, and if they could not be found, the relics should be put away, and when they returned, they must be handed over to their families in their entirety.

Besides, according to the treatment and benefits we have drawn up before, it is up to you to keep an eye on them, and they must be implemented one by one, and I don't want any soldiers to fight and die for me without getting what they deserve. Mu En explained very seriously, and after a slight pause, he said: "Regarding this point, you discuss with Asso and issue a notice: no matter who dares to do anything in this regard, he will be punished for betraying the Igor family." ”

"Yes!" Brad was a little excited, he knew what Mu En's words meant, inhaled slightly, he saluted seriously, and said, "On behalf of the Glorious Legion, I thank the Grand Duke for his gift!"

"They deserve it. Mu En shook his head, he never thought this was a gift, on the contrary, it was all the warriors who fought with their lives, however, he knew that it was a difference in the worldview, and he didn't want to say more about it.

As soon as the topic changed, he mentioned another thing: "What happened to the recruitment?"

According to the rules of this world, a mature legion of top professionals will maintain the size of about a thousand people, with a legion leader, two deputies, and then subdivided into ten teams, one hundred squads, and if they are capable, they will also be equipped with a small team of about ten spellcasters.

This is not fixed, but in long-term practice, people have found that it is the most reasonable.

Generally speaking, most of the top professional legions are composed of second-order professions, and the size of a thousand people can make them fearless of the threat of numbers, just like the demon army outside the ninth city, simple cannon fodder has no effect on them.

At the same time, it can maintain relative flexibility, and will not cause delays in the transmission of orders, inconvenient command, insufficient centripetal force, etc., whether it is offensive or defensive, whether it is a long journey, or a strong attack to the death, it can maintain the best state.

Of course, although there are about 1,000 full-fledged top legions, there will be strong and well-established reserve legions, and even if there is a loss in the war, they can make up for it as soon as possible. For example, the nine professional legions of the Black and White Academy, they have the Vocational Academy to rely on.

This is also the biggest shortcoming of the Glory Legion, the Rose Collar has just improved, whether it is the education of the next generation or the training of professionals, it has not formed a complete system. And the six major academies, even if Mu En is a disciple of that one, the best resources must definitely be given priority to the professional legion with an official background.

However, this is not the status quo that can be changed in a day or two, and it takes more than ten or twenty years of dedication to education to make a difference. And now, all Mu En can do is to pry the corner.

When he came to the scorched land prison from the Glory Legion, Mu En set his sights on the professionals here, but at that time, the Glory Legion had no reputation and no record, so naturally no one cared about it.

But now, the Battle of the Ninth City is over, and everything is different after all.

"The news of the recruitment has been sent, and the feedback has been excellent, and many professionals have come to inquire about the treatment, but as you know, after all, it is to leave Vic and go to the Atlantic continent, and there are many people who have scruples.

Then there was the fact that the time was too short, and it was only the second day after the war, and many people had already received evacuation orders and had to leave the Ninth City. Brad explains:

"Is that so?" Mu En thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "First question, you can explain the benefits and benefits of the Glory Legion in detail, and we allow the family to move, and the three generations of the immediate family can go to the Rose Collar together." ”

"The second problem is that you can set up recruitment locations in the six major academies, and professionals who are interested in coming to the Glory Legion can record their identity information, and we can track and solve difficulties. ”

"Well, let's do it, after I go back, I will let Asso fully cooperate with you, you can lead the battle, and it is his job to operate and sell.

Of course, all this must be based on their ability to successfully pass the assessment of the Glorious Legion, otherwise everything will not be discussed. ”

"Yes!" Brad bowed slightly, peeked at Mu En again, and asked, "Then Your Majesty, when are we going back?"

"When? Now that it's decided, the sooner the better. You go and gather the legions, and I'll go to His Majesty Ssalon to be accommodating, and we'll fight to dine at the Rose Castle tonight. ”
