Chapter 111: Plan
Link stood on a high ground, thoughtfully south, with a group of mountaineer-looking infantry standing beside him, as the battle progressed, these rustic mountaineers were also transforming into real warriors, which made Link feel very relieved, although the losses of the mountain-folk infantry were great, but Link's purpose of training was achieved.
This is a small town in the north of Cormier, the town guard has first escorted the nobles of the town to flee to the larger towns, or simply fled to the city of Arabe further south, the elite of the northern nobles of Cormier have gone south, before a nobleman gathered nearly 2,000 troops to intend to fight a decisive battle with Link, but was defeated by Link's Chamber of Commerce army, the "Red Regiment" of the Sambians After a three-way attack with the Netherland Army, the Netherland Prince Revaran, and was quickly defeated, the Cormiers did not dare or were unable to defend each town, so they could only gather in large towns to hold on.
Duchess Meerman has gathered thousands of aristocratic private armies, town guards, merchant guards, conscription militia, and hired mercenaries and adventurers in Arabe City, the Duchess has not participated in the battle between the nobles and the steel regent before, it is considered a neutral faction, and the Arabe City she occupies, although it was broken by the orcs in the orc tide, all the soldiers and civilians had to flee with the help of the portal, and now the recovered Arabe City is more tightly defended, even if Link has the help of high-level legendary mages, it is difficult to break through such a large city that is waiting for a strong battle。
After a brief rendezvous with Link, the Sambian "Red Regiment" mercenaries continued to sweep south to sweep the poorly defended Cormier towns, the officers of this Sambian mercenary regiment were all served by the Tucans, these Tucans who were defeated by the Cormiers in the nomadic war lost their tribes and relatives, and could only wander in a strange land, and the Cormiers had a blood feud, and their cruelty and killing after breaking through the town even the orcs could not stand it, at the request of the orcs, Link could only choose to be with the "Red Regiment" Divide your forces and choose to join Prince Ryvaran's forces.
The Yin Soul soldiers under the command of Revaran are all elite, equipped with enchanted swords and armor, and even ordinary soldiers are equipped with quasi-magic items unique to Yin Soul City, the energy of this magic item does not need to consume the life energy of the mage like ordinary magic items, but can reserve energy drawn from the Mithor Energy Core, although the magic items produced in this way can be used for a long time like ordinary magic items, but the price is only one-tenth of that of ordinary magic items, or even lower, so it is also quite cost-effective.
The five hundred elite of Yin Soul City under the command of Prince Revaran can be regarded as the heart and soul of the prince of the market, and he just simply participated in the previous battle, and hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield, for fear of attrition, Link understands that it is unlikely that Revaran will send this force to help him again, and even whether Revaran will sell Link again has no confidence in his heart.
The Netherworld City is only a city-state with more than 20,000 people, although it has a large number of powerful Arcanist Sects, as well as the famous Twelve Princes of the Nether, but the Netherworld City has lived in the Netherworld for a long time, although it controls many resource points, but the Netherworld is really not suitable for human survival, and it is impossible to spend a lot of money to transform all the residents into Nether creatures suitable for survival in the Netherworld World, in the resource points of the Netherworld City and the Netherworld World, ordinary residents can only survive by relying on the shadow canopy in mid-air to resist the deadly radiation in the air, so the population of Netherworld City has always maintained a very low level。
After returning to the main material realm, the Netherworld City either looted or purchased a large number of slaves, liberated a large number of laborers, and finally formed a huge army of up to 3,000 people, most of whom were ordinary residents of the Netherworld City, as well as some Shadow Mercenaries, all the officers were Netherworld creatures, and the Netherlands also numbered up to 5,000 orc mercenaries, and servant armies such as the Vassals of the Beyodai Barbarians, but the Netherlands did not say that these servant armies were regarded as real armies, and the real core was still the 3,000-strong Netherworld army.
After removing the three hundred princes' iron guards under the direct command of the Supreme Prince, and then removing some of the guards of the Arcane Academy and Research Institute, and then removing the garrison of the Ghost City, the troops that can really be used for battle in the Ghost City are about two thousand people, and the five hundred people under the command of Revaran are already a quarter of the core strength of the Ghost City, and they are the hole cards for Evaland's participation in the struggle for power in the Ghost City.
Revaran's official position is the commander of the Cormier battle group, in addition to the five hundred elite soldiers, there are also five hundred orc remnants, plus five hundred orc mercenaries seconded to Link, which has helped Link a lot to gain a foothold in the rocks, Link's commune forces can now probably gather five hundred troops, Link himself was awarded the rank of captain of the Netherworld Army, and can enjoy the treatment of officers, after the portal to the Netherworld City is built, you can get the Nether's magic items rationed by the officer, and Revaran even promised Link that he could enter the Arcane School to study, and even transform Link into a Netherworld creature at the right time。
The transformation method of the Netherland creature is unique to the Netherworld City, although the Netherland creature does not have many spell-like abilities like vampires, but it has the ability to quickly heal wounds in the shadows, and the high-level Nethers can even travel short distances in the shadows, and also have a long lifespan, although they are a little light-wearing, but they are not completely unable to see the light like vampires, and in Link's sense, it is more cost-effective to transform into a Netherland creature than to transform into a lich.
Revaran made a promise to Link, Link understood that what he wanted was the whole of the Rockland, a subordinate who controlled the entire Rockland, could provide a large number of troops, and was loyal to him, and the end of the war also gave Link the opportunity to blend into the Cormier upper class, which was also what Ryvaran expected, intending to unite all the forces that could be united, overwhelm the brothers who were vying for power with him, and finally sit on the throne of the Lord of the Shadow City.
Link looked at the south of Cormier in a daze, ignoring the fires in the town and the screams of humans, at first he saw the orcs slaughtering the old and young women and children of humans, Link still couldn't bear it, but after a few days, Link has become accustomed to it, and now he and the current commune are still too weak, Link can only pray for those souls who don't know where to go.
Cormier's chief war mage only sent a brief message, and there has been no message since then, as if something has changed, according to the agreement, the steel regent eliminated the main force of the northern nobles and shocked the southern nobles, taking advantage of the chaos in the north, he should immediately organize the army to the north, and then the "red regiment" of Sambia Pretending to be defeated, Link deliberately sent a group of goblins and kobolds for the Purple Dragon Legion to torture, and then the defeat will be rocky, while Revaran's Shadow Army has been retreating north, ensuring that the Steel Regency will not really kill Link's team, and then Revaran will sign a truce agreement with the Steel Regency, allowing the Steel Regency to recover the north.
The great nobles and the big merchants will soon know that the reason for the truce of the Wraiths has nothing to do with the Iron Regent, it is all the credit of the electors of the goddess of magic, but the people and soldiers will not know, they only know that after the Steel Regent went north, he forced back the evil Sambia mercenary group, killed a large number of goblins and kobolds, forced the barbarian leader of the orcs Link to swear allegiance and accept the title of Earl of Iwland, and the Iron Regency even forced back the army of the Gauntlets, let the Gauntlet Prince truce, regain the lost territory, and protect the north of Cormier.
Link knew that the Steel Regency had sold a lot of commercial rights and interests to the Sambians in order for the Sambians to cooperate with her, and even recognized a series of privileges of the Sambian Merchants, which was simply an unequal treaty, and the reason why Revaran cooperated with her was because she would cooperate with Link to master the Rocklands, help Link deal with the Orcs in the Rocklands, and open up trade with the Rocklands, this plan would benefit everyone except the people of Cormier, but now there was no news from the Steel Regents, but there were merchants who brought news of the unrest in the south, which made Link feel a little uneasy。
A hill foot soldier approached Link and whispered, "The messenger of the Sambians is here." ”
