Half a month later, on a wide field, Artis looked at the soldiers trained in front of him and nodded slightly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

I saw that in the middle of the air, a faint military aura was gradually condensing, although it was very light, but the prototype could already be seen.

And in it, a little bit of gold mixed with a little pale cyan faintly emerges in it.

Seeing this, Artis looked at one of the people in the group.

It was a thin young man, who seemed to have just come of age, and seemed to be very weak because of the bad life in the past, and he looked weak.

It's just that the natal is just the opposite, the pale cyan natal is currently the strongest in addition to the sacrifices under his hands, and a layer of golden qi luck above his head is slowly circling, obviously he is also carrying the luck, not those who have no natal life and no luck to urge.

Such a person, even if he is not specially promoted, with the changes of the times, he can make his own fortune under the urging of luck, and at least he can become an earth knight.

Of course, now that he has taken refuge under the command of Artis, then the achievements must be more than that, and under the special cultivation of Artis, it is possible for the Sky Knight to be even higher.

This person was an ordinary farmer who signed up for the army at the time of conscription, because his family was poor and frail since he was a child, he was almost brushed off when he signed up, but fortunately, Artis was present at the time, so he was not missed.

In other words, because of his magical powers, Artis has a natural advantage over others in finding talents, although to some extent, having a destiny does not necessarily mean talent, but at least it has more advantages than people without a destiny, and there are fewer bottlenecks in the dark.

And this group of soldiers are all potential stocks carefully selected by Ardis from nearly 10,000 people who have joined the army, although it may not seem that there is much difference, but the potential is not comparable, among which there are more than a dozen golden natal stocks, which makes Ardis can't help but sigh at the number of talents.

This also reflects the phenomenon that in the southern city-states, the degree of importance of world consciousness is significantly greater than that of the surrounding tribes, so the number of talents that appear in them is not at all in number.

Artis silently sensed a star above his head, and after completely annexing the city-state and killing the ancestral god of the city-state, the star was significantly stronger.

This is due to the increase in the number of believers in the population, but more importantly, the proportion of qi in the southern city-states in the world consciousness is much larger than that in the barbarian tribes, so there is such an obvious change.

He thought so in his heart, but suddenly there was a faint sound of footsteps from the outside world.

When I looked sideways, it was Nadir walking from the outside in armor.

"My lord, the scouts have already made a search, and after receiving the distress letter from the previous royal family, most of the city-states have moved, and at this time, in the western direction, an army of five thousand men is rushing towards us. ”

Nadir's face was serious, his tone was solemn, and above his head, a golden natal was slowly swaying.

Seeing this, Artis sighed slightly.

"The city of Cecil was defended on all sides, with the Duchy of Brooke to the north, and at this time their king was dying, and the prince was fighting for power, so he should not send troops. ”

"To the east is a mountainous area, and the city-states in the distance are very far away from us, and the road is difficult to walk, so most of them will not send troops. ”

"There are only the south and the west, the southern city-states have always been greedy, and when they see chaos here, most of them will send troops to plunder, while the Duchy of Barlow and the Duchy of Cecil in the west are married for generations, and it is said that the queen of King Barlow is the princess of the royal family of Cecil, so it is not surprising to send troops. ”

He looked at the neat queue in front of him, and said to Nadir, who was standing respectfully on the side, "Nadir, what do you think of these people?"

Nadir was slightly stunned, and then looked at the neat military column in front of him: "It looks qualified, but the actual combat may be slightly weaker, far inferior to our previous troops." ”

"Not bad!" Artis nodded.

"With more than 500 veterans trained before as officers, it has been expanded to 5,000 people, and after more than half a month of running-in, although the combat effectiveness cannot be improved all at once, it can barely be used under the leadership of veterans. ”

"Coupled with the sacrificial group of more than 100 people and Carter's 2,000 clansmen, our strength is actually not weaker than the other party. ”

Speaking of this, Adiston paused, and then said: "Among the five thousand people from Barlow, there are no more than five hundred knights who have practiced fighting spirit, and most of them are knights, and they are not even as good as a white-robed sacrifice, so it is not difficult to deal with it. ”

"And the real difficulty is coming from the south. ”

"South?" said Nadir, looking at Artis suspiciously, a little puzzled.

In this regard, Artis nodded: "Unlike the scarcity of the northern city-states, there are many city-states in the south, and most of them have chaotic relations and are related to each other, and it is very likely that they will send troops to loot after knowing that there is chaos here. When the time comes, whether it is won or lost, Cecil's wild town will inevitably be reduced to ruins. ”

"So the best outcome of this battle is to quickly defeat the western army, so that the southern city-states understand our strength, measure the losses and retreat themselves. ”

Hearing Artis say this, Nadir realized.

Seeing him like this, Artis smiled slightly: "How did you do what you did?"

Seeing Artis say this, Nadir looked a little excited: "It's already half done. ”

"We sent people to catch those nobles, interrogated them with the assistance of sacrifices, and successfully sorted out more than a dozen sets of Douqi cultivation methods, the highest of which is the royal family, and can even be practiced to the level of the Celestial Knight. ”

Just saying this, he hesitated again, and seemed a little troubled: "But my lord, do you really want to spread these to the soldiers below?"

Seeing him like this, Artis shook his head with a smile: "Of course not at present, it is not too late to spread after this group of soldiers have been trained in a while." ”

The practice of vindictiveness requires a strong body, which cannot be achieved in a short period of time.

"Compared to the kings of those city-states, it is unlikely that a large number of nobles will defect to us in our situation, so we can only cultivate ourselves. ”

Artis stood in front of him and said with a smile, very handsome under the light of a piece of sun.

In this regard, Nadir opened his mouth slightly, looked at the soldiers in front of him, and his mood was a little complicated for a while.

The next day, after receiving news of the enemy's infestation, Artis set out with 3,000 ordinary troops, 2,000 barbarian troops, and more than 100 sacrifices, leaving only 2,000 to guard the city of Cecil.

However, before leaving, Artis also took advantage of the situation to coerce many disgruntled nobles to travel together.

This is also a tradition, when the king sends troops, his lords also need to go with the army, and here they are afraid that it will be easy to cause trouble in the rear, so they are all staked out to ensure the stability of the rear.

As for how these people are dissatisfied, even angry, it's none of Artis's business.

"With my actions, no matter how much I appease those people, they will not serve me wholeheartedly, so it doesn't matter. ”

Artis looked at the dozens of noble knights who were next to the sacrificial group and said with a sneer.

This was a fundamental antagonism, and under his orders, the nobles lost their territorial autonomy and the large number of their subjects, and were forced to surrender their own family spirit, which could not be appeased without being compensated for other benefits.

Therefore, since it is destined to be impossible to gain their loyalty, there is no pressure to use them as cannon fodder at a critical moment.

"Even, after laying down a new territory, they can also exchange their territory to the desolate area of the border, completely eliminating their original influence in one fell swoop. ”

Artis thought to himself.

This is also a ruthless move, you need to know that these nobles have existed in the same place for hundreds of years, and I don't know how many contacts and influences they have accumulated in the local area over the hundreds of years, and they can indirectly affect many people.

And after dispersing and replacing their territory, it is equivalent to giving up the influence accumulated over hundreds of years, and starting over in another completely unfamiliar place, it is impossible to continue to have this influence. Even Artis is a little darker, and he can completely replace some thorns in a dangerous place and slowly wear out his family.

By this time, the army had already marched into the field.

In this world, it is extremely desolate because of the perennial infestation of demonic beasts and ghosts and other creatures in the wild, and the land is still in its primitive form, and no one has opened up the wasteland.

This was a waste, and although the original environment was preserved, it also made the journey extremely difficult, and there were even many monsters and wild people along the way

Looking at all this, Artis couldn't help frowning and looked up into the distance.

In his transcendent sense, in the distance, a little bit of red qi was slowly fluctuating, coming towards Cecil.
