As a result, Luo Tianjie learned the information he wanted to know from Felder's mouth.

Edward's regular army made up less than a quarter, which is already a high percentage, which is enough to show the importance of Melville's 'mother country'.

Of course, although these regular soldiers were born in their home country, they were no different from the private soldiers of the Edward family, and the military salary and treatment were all the responsibility of the governor Melville.

This regular army was originally the support of the 'mother country' to the Edwards.

Originally, Melville only planned to take these regular troops to fulfill his mercenary obligations to Luo Tianjie, but he didn't expect that the foundation of Edward's town had been revealed by those hunters!

In addition to the regular army, which is less than a quarter of the population, in addition to the ordinary citizens who are all soldiers, there are hundreds of mercenaries brought over by the Edward family, which can be regarded as the private soldiers of the Edward family.

These mercenaries are also veterans of the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness is not weaker than that of the regular army.

The number of mercenaries is a little more than that of the regular army, which together is just over a thousand!

"The town of Edward needs to be protected by some people."

Melville replied with a frown.

"No one here will attack Edward's town except me, unless you consider those wild boar jackals as enemies.

What's more, I think the people of Edward's town are fierce, and even women can carry guns to the battlefield, so they should have enough ability to protect themselves.

I am full of sincerity, first give the supplies with both hands, I hope you can also treat me with sincerity.

Moreover, the more soldiers we bring, the safer it will be for you and me, and even the enemy, seeing that we have strong troops, surrenders on his knees without waiting for the start of the battle. ”

…………

In the end, Governor Melville still couldn't refuse Luo Tianjie's temptation.

Especially after seeing the truckloads of fresh food resources that Luo Tianjie ordered to be transported, as well as the herds of sheep and vegetable horses that drove over, he no longer had any scruples.

The other party gave too much, there was really no way to refuse, and even the townspeople of Edward Town had been bought by Luo Tianjie!

If he couldn't find a suitable reason, Melville suspected that he would be resented by the townspeople of Edward's town if he refused the supplies.

As for helping the 'Native Chiefs' in a battle, it is nothing to the soldiers and civilians of Edward's Town, and the living people born here are the last thing they are afraid of is war!

In their eyes, war meant plunder, and the low-level soldiers were not as worried as Governor Melville, who had already begun to gear up for a fight when they heard that all the spoils of victory would go to the army of Edward's Town.

Even many people are already fantasizing in their hearts that if the enemy they encounter is very weak, maybe after the fight, they can continue to burn and loot there.

This is typical of the British bandit mentality.

This mode of thinking is quite in line with the identity of the wild forces.

After the deal, neither side withdrew its troops that night, and Melville did not even remove the townspeople's arms.

The next day, after the final deal was completed, Melville and Luo Tianjie held a meeting ceremony in public (mainly for the people of Edward Town).

It is also commonly known as the face project.

In fact, the face project has been around since ancient times, and this is not something that is not unnecessarily hypocritical and polite.

The face project is a kind of propaganda that is widely advertised, especially in the era of underdeveloped communications, the face project is a must for the state power, otherwise how to fool ...... Eh, to encourage people to love their country?

The small town of Edward, which had just received a large amount of supplies, did not resist the incident of this alliance with the natives.

It turns out that for the living who possess self-intelligence, the benefits are enough to erase the hostility!

In human society, money can even make a person give up the revenge of killing his father and mother, not to mention that the grudge between Luo Tianjie and Edward Town all stays at the level of 'memory'?

Because Luo Tianjie planned to pit the armed forces of Edward Town at one time, he did not use the sea ships of Edward Town to explore the small island with treasure spots.

After all, if this operation can't trap Governor Melville's army, it will allow Edward's town to grow and grow for a full quarter!

Three months!

Luo Tianjie didn't want to wait three months in the Age of Empires space to advance again!

The contradiction between him and the wild forces is irreconcilable, and if Luo Tianjie wants to advance to the era, he must conquer or destroy the wild forces Edward Town.

Alliances and conquest are not the same thing!

Therefore, in Luo Tianjie's expected goal, if he can't kill Melville in the process of exploring the new world on the other side of the two-way space-time node this time, he can only send the noble governor of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland back to the arms of the Lord by himself.

Of course, Luo Tianjie will try his best to avoid that situation, the ammunition reserves of the army under his command are seriously insufficient, Melville's army has always kept a 'safe distance' from Luo Tianjie's troops, and has never slackened, and it is almost impossible to sneak attack.

Luo Tianjie has never liked a lose-lose victory.

After nearly half a day's march, Luo Tianjie Melville's coalition forces finally arrived at the two-way space-time node.

The two-way space-time node is no longer a light gate, but a magic array that covers a large area.

Anyway, Luo Tianjie couldn't understand the ghost drawing talisman on it, and it was unified into the concept of the magic array.

It's very convenient to use, and those who want to teleport walk into the outermost circle of the magic array, and there is a stone platform in the center of the magic array, and there is a big manual button on the stone platform, which looks like it is connected to the stone platform, but in fact it can be 'pressed'.

Anyone can press the button to teleport over, but the aura of the magic circle will automatically disgust the non-intelligent creatures in the Age of Empires space, so they can stay away from it, ensuring that they will not be mistakenly pressed by outsiders.

And the treasure guardians of the treasure point will not leave their positions, and the wild forces have not yet developed here, so it is naturally impossible to know the news of the two-way space-time node.

If it weren't for Luo Tianjie leading the way, the people of Edward Town would not have believed that there was such a magical place in this new world.

The pattern of the magic array and the stone platform, in the eyes of Melville and his party, are similar to the mysterious magical civilization monuments, which are very archaeological value......

Of course, now that they have known through Luo Tianjie, this is the door to a rich new world.

The soldiers of Edward's town optimistically called it the 'Circle of Fortune'.

But these are all ridiculous titles between soldiers, and they can't be put on the table.

The magic array covers a very large area, and all the tool man soldiers under Luo Tianjie (excluding civilian units) and all the main forces of Edward Town have not been filled up after they stand in!
