Chapter 153: Territory Construction
Shaina, who understood the cause and effect, didn't know what to say, she worked hard for three years but couldn't find even a little news, but Ryan just bumped into Seres on a casual adventure.But since Seres is not a thief who stole the song of the soul, then Shaina naturally won't target Seres again, after all, Serres, a carefully selected Moon Temple guard, can be regarded as the idol of a young elf like Shaina who has not yet passed the rite of passage.
However, that Seres was very depressed in his heart, because he realized that even if he didn't do so many actions, Ryan would still help find the Song of the Soul Suppression, which was equivalent to him sending things to Ryan for nothing, and there was no payment to take. Of course, Seres wouldn't really care about this, after all, he also knew that even if Ryan Ken helped unconditionally, he would have to pay a big price, and if the ancient demonic beasts were so easy to deal with, they would have died a long time ago.
So Serres decided to help Ryan train shooters as soon as possible, he has been following Ryan for the past few days, and he knows some about Cassano, Ryan wants to slaughter the hydra, he must first go to the imperial capital, and Ryan wants to go to the imperial capital with peace of mind, and he must make Cassano's operation impregnable, so the sooner these shooters are formed, the sooner Ceres's own wish will be achieved.
It's a pity that Letoz and his people haven't migrated yet, so Vivien only selected 2,000 ingenious warriors from Cassano and handed them to Seres, who only glanced at them and couldn't help but complain about Ryan behind his back, because the quality of these warriors is okay in Cassano, but it is incredible to compare them with elves.
Ryan only used a few words to appease Serres, he didn't plan to train his subordinates like the elven wind shooter, to put it bluntly, it was just a force that was good at long-range attacks, humans were far inferior to the elves in some aspects, there was no need to force it to compare with the elven wind shooter, as long as this force could defend Cassano and deter other forces that were eyeing it.
After thoroughly understanding Ryan's intentions, Seres spent three days working out a detailed plan, and after seeing the training plan, Ryan asked Vivien to select 2,000 more fighters. Although the intensity of the training in Serres's plan has been cut by half, it is not something that ordinary humans can bear, and in order to have as many subordinates as possible pass that training, the only way to do so is to use the most brutal elimination method.
Seres is busy training archers, Ryan is also busy every day, the construction of the new city of Iron Fist Castle requires him to come forward to draw a magic array, Martin's blacksmith shop also needs Ryan's blessing magic, and the professor of magic apprentices naturally can't stop, but Elendor and Shayna stay in the magic tower all day and have nothing to do, because they don't have magic masks, so they can only try to avoid appearing in front of outsiders.
Elendor, who had been training himself in the depths of the Silent Forest for 3 years, suddenly became idle and felt very uncomfortable, but he also had a lot of time to think about some things about himself, such as a certain elf who had been following him silently for 3 years but never complained.
So when Ryan dragged his tired body to answer the magic tower one night, he actually saw Alendor and Shaina sitting side by side watching the moon, this discovery made him very excited, but it was a pity that Ryan's plan to listen to the corner did not come true, after all, Alendor, who is a druid, has amazing alertness.
Everything went well, Elendor successfully established a relationship with Shaina, Seres entered the regular training after eliminating almost half of the fighters, Adela had successfully re-forged the Mithril armor, and Ryan had drawn the best magic circle on it...... Even Letoz migrated to Cassano with the first tribesmen.
Seeing Adela put on the Mithril armor she called "Rose", excitedly pulling Vivien's heavily armed Iron Fist Castle guards all day long, Ryan couldn't help but smile. Adra's Mithril armor style was designed by herself, and there weren't many decorations on it, but it was basically in the shape of a rose, which is also the origin of the name of this armor.
Ryan cleverly designed a set of magic arrays, based on the stamens of the rose flower, supplemented by petals and branches, adding several very practical magic effects to the entire Mithril armor, especially to Shaina's heart, she thought that Ryan would not learn the elf enchantment technique three years ago was actually used by Ryan in large quantities on this set of armor.
Different from Vivien's set of leather armor, Ryan focused on defense as the main direction of strengthening on Adela's armor, because after the entire set of Mithril armor was worn on his body, all parts of Adela's body were protected inside, and in the face of the enemy's attack, Adela could not dodge or dodge, and forcibly counterattacked while the enemy attacked him, while Vivien's armor could not achieve full body protection, and could only find a way to sensitively dodge enemy attacks.
Vivien saw Adela's armor and was very envious in her heart, because when she was a mercenary, she was a warrior who charged at the forefront, and if there was Arrad's Mithril armor at that time, it would definitely be a nightmare for all enemies.
However, Vivien also knew that she was not very suitable to be such a warrior, she had no choice at that time, and she could only grit her teeth and stand up for the sake of life. Now, under the instruction of Ryan, Vivien has decided to completely change her martial arts, before Vivien has lost her sword and shield and switched to using a scimitar to fight, and now Seres trains archers, which also gives Vivien a chance to learn archery.
Therefore, Vivien personally selected people from Letoz's people, and then personally picked up a longbow and practiced archery as an ordinary soldier, and the efforts of Adela and Vivien also made Ryan feel great pressure in his heart, because Cassano's three elite troops were only the mage legion he was in charge of had not yet been formed.
Raising a group of magicians in a short period of time is an almost impossible task, but Ryan has solved this problem with another trick, his method is to militarize the training and management of the more than 500 magic apprentices under his control, so that they become an insignificant part of the whole.
With the strength of Ryan's current apprentices, it is quite difficult to release a magic missile alone, but if the magic missile is released in the situation of the magic array, and then the entire magic array is broken down into several insignificant combinations, then each apprentice only needs to be responsible for the most basic part to complete the operation of the entire magic array.
After repeated testing and consuming a large amount of magic materials, Ryan finally found the most reasonable balance, and under his careful disassembly, a fireball magic array was divided into 10 parts, and the mana consumed by each was within the range that those magic apprentices could bear, so that a group of ten people could release a level 3 magic.
This method was inspired by Ryan's own doppelganger spell casting, it is easy to say, but it is not easy to use it freely in actual combat, which requires the 10 members of that group to cooperate with each other tacitly, more than 500 magic apprentices, and only 120 people really meet Ryan's requirements, and the mana of these magic apprentices is too poor, even if they release a fireball spell together, it will take more than 1 hour of meditation to recover their vitality.
In order to increase the self-preservation ability of these people, Ryan also gave each of the apprentices in a group of ten a magic missile scroll, a bull power scroll and a mirror magic scroll, and equipped them with a weapon that is not a magic wand commonly used by magicians, but a sharp short sword.
Of course, a mere level 3 fireball technique is useless in a large-scale battle, but Ryan's method is tantamount to finding a way for low-level magicians to release high-level magic, and I believe that after the mana of those magic apprentices slowly increases, more high-level magic will be used in actual combat.
Ryan kept sighing to express his strong dissatisfaction with the newly formed magician legion, but Moses and the others on the side had long been dumbfounded, Ryan's current approach is equivalent to turning the mage into a well-trained soldier, which can be trained in large quantities, although the current effect is not very ideal, but when I think that in the future, there are likely to be thousands of magicians casting spells at the same time, attacking the enemy with overwhelming fireball techniques, I am afraid that people with a little insight will be shocked.
Ryan didn't know what Moses was thinking, and he wasn't happy with the outcome of his efforts because he had heard Mr. Dranay talk about the war 200 years ago. In that war, it was not uncommon for thousands of magicians to attack at the same time, and level 7 and 8 magic were endless, and the high-level magicians who were now very precious were simply thrown directly to the battlefield at that time to consume.
As for what he is doing now, it will not help at all in a battle of that scale, you must know that even a mage will be affected by a sudden magic arrow or a magic wave above level 8 and kill Huang Quan, not to mention the slightly rough magic army under his command, a high-level mage only needs a few spells to make them wipe out.
This is why Merlen, the first teacher, spent a lot of effort to develop a complete set of courses for training magicians, because in a super-large-scale war, the number of existing magicians is simply not enough. It's a pity that in the face of the king's ambitions, this plan exists in name only. Now, Ryan has only recreated a small part of this plan through a little bit of his own adaptation, and after comparing it with the Merlen plan that Draeney explained in detail, it is not surprising that Ryan is not satisfied with the results he has achieved so far.
