CHAPTER XXXVI

Although the merchant faction of the Gold Coin Federation lacked decisiveness at a critical moment, and did not have the spirit of daring to rush in the water with their eyes and teeth, as long as the situation was not so urgent and the pressure was not so huge, their thinking was still very clear and clear.

The core problem of the merchant faction was the lack of a reliable army loyal to them. The only way to solve this problem is to train the new army.

So, once they had the means to train a reliable professional army from Keaneling, they quickly put it into practice, and were careful to keep it a secret.

Each military camp is located in a secret base completely controlled by the old chamber of commerce in the north, and no one is allowed to approach it within at least thirty miles of the vicinity, and even the convoy that transports supplies can only be sent thirty miles away, and then the base's own convoy is used to transport it. In order to prevent aerial reconnaissance, more than twenty mid-level and even higher mages cast spells in shifts around the clock, maintaining a phantom magic that envelops the entire base.

Generally speaking, the people who do aerial reconnaissance are martial arts adventurers who ride flying monsters, and they do not have the ability to see through illusions. But the world is so big that there may be people who have a special bloodline that can see through illusions - such as Donna James, the heir to Keane's James family, or there may be people who have magic items that can see through illusions, or even ...... In order to obtain reliable information, sometimes even a Battle Mage may make a cameo appearance as a Scout.

Therefore, these training bases have a second layer of shelter - huge roofs.

Supported by pillars, the roof is strong enough to shelter from the wind and rain and completely shade the roof from the sky peeping eyes.

Naturally, these rushed roofs can't be very strong, probably like carports and canopies on the earth. But no matter how sturdy it was, it was enough to block anyone's view, and even the caster's reconnaissance spell would not be able to see through the rooftops and see the soldiers who sweated hard every day below after penetrating the illusion magic.

In fact, if it weren't for Wenner's experience, even He would have been almost deceived.

Because on those roofs, the patterns were painted by special painters - the same patterns as the ground. From a distance, it looks like the ground is normal. If you don't fly closer, even the gods won't see the problem.

Mortal illusion spells were ineffective against gods, but painted patterns were not spells, and Wenner was almost deceived by this simple and crude method.

Of course, he would not tell Sui Xiong these words.

The two gods watched from the air for almost a day, watching the group of soldiers train their combat skills, train arrays, train military orders, and train physical fitness...... Those methods are quite simple and concise, nothing fancy, and no pursuit of ingenuity, just two words: steady and fast.

The first is stability, and any action, whether fighting or marching, must pay attention to the word "stability." These new armies will be the backbone and core of the future merchant army, so the first requirement for them is to be stable and reliable. In this way, at the critical moment, the effect of the Dinghaishen needle can be brought into play.

The second is to be fast, and under the premise of stability, it is necessary to pursue rapid action. As long as the army is fast enough, the enemy has no time to react when attacking, and the enemy can only follow you to eat soil when retreating, there may not be a good way to win a hundred battles in the world, but as long as the army can always maintain a faster speed than the enemy, at least it can run away, and it will not be defeated.

In addition to these two points, there may be other pursuits, but for the rookie army in front of them, these two points alone are enough.

...... For the vast majority of the world's armies, these two points are enough.

When it was getting late, the soldiers in the base went to rest, and Sui Xiong and Wenner also left.

Wenner set off to find a few more bases, while Sui Xiong headed to Keene.

He was really surprised when he learned that the training methods of these bases were actually from Keane Collar - in Crick's memory, Keane Ling's training methods were not so complicated and high-end, and they were very simple.

After arriving at Keane Territory, he hid in the sky above the barracks and observed for a few days, before he was sure that the new army sent by the merchants was indeed using the training methods of the Keane family.

Moreover, he also found out the source of this training method.

It's very simple to say, it's just the accumulation of time.

Since Anna Keane took over as Baron Keane, she has made great efforts to reorganize her armament in view of the fact that Keane's strength was not strong enough and she encountered several distressing things at that time. In terms of training methods, she inherited the tradition of "recruiting good citizens for the army" left by her brother, but she also designed a set of detailed training strategies with the knights in comparison with the armies of various places, and constantly revised and improved them in the years since. Now nearly thirty years have passed, the original girl has long reached middle age, and the territory is about to be handed over to the next generation, and with this set of constantly improving training methods, Kean has trained an excellent army with strong combat power and resolute will, which has performed well in several border conflicts, and has also played the prestige of Keane.

Anna's style of doing things is different from Creek, not as deep and soft as Creek, more direct and fierce. Over the years, the surrounding nobles have suffered her losses more than once. It was precisely by scaring and subduing the surrounding nobles that the Grand Duke of Thunder had no way to take the Keane Territory - no matter what he wanted, the nobles around the Keane Territory would never want to go against the Kean Leader again. Without their support, the Grand Duke would be beyond the reach of Keane.

Last time, at the suggestion of the second son of the Grand Duke, the Grand Duke promoted Viscount Samat and canonized him next to the Kean Lord, trying to provoke the Kean Lords with this war future that was loyal to the second son of the Grand Duke, and make things bigger and out of control, so as to give the Grand Duke an excuse to send troops. But the diehard loyalist of the second son of the Grand Duke is currently playing a live-action version of the island to survive in Sui Xiong's kingdom of God, and Wei Shak, who has replaced him, has no intention of causing trouble, and the result is that the Grand Duke has lost a piece of territory in vain and sulked for several days.

As for the second son of the Grand Duke...... Because of the mistake in this matter, he not only lost his original advantage in the battle for inheritance, but also was chased and beaten by the eldest son of the eldest duke, and has almost lost the battle for inheritance. Now the only suspense is that after his brother becomes the Grand Duke, will he be a Marquis of Taiping in peace? Or will he inherit the fine tradition of the Principality of Thunder and send him to be the companion of the predecessors who have lost their inheritance rights in the past?

Probably, the latter is more likely.

After all, in this world, the most reliable people are the dead. (To be continued.) )
