Chapter 209: A New Type of Army (Part I)

The kings of the countries of the East China Sea are not fools. Without such a large number of magic chariots, it was impossible for them to dare to attack Qin Yin. According to the plan of the expeditionary force, these chariots were used in a centralized manner and attacked city by city, which could suppress the magic tower outside Qin Yin City.

Without this preparation, the army that reached the outside of the city would have been completely suppressed by the magic tower. Although magicians rarely intervene in the affairs of the nobility, they cannot stand idly by in the face of enemy invasion. The nobles provided for them all year round, for the true security of their own territory.

If you want to talk about the shortcomings of the magic chariot, there are also a lot, unlike the magic tower, the magic chariot is often only a series of elemental power, this increase can be transformed, but it is more difficult.

For example, this time, because he found that there were powerful undead in the city of Saleen, in order to avoid a large number of casualties among the soldiers, the general asked the magician to modify the magic chariot to restrain the undead power in the enemy.

This was right, but the fault was that they stayed at sea for too long, and they were driven back by Saleen and directly sank the battleship.

The mobility of the magic chariot itself is also a problem. The chariot itself is large enough to be towed by eight horses, or simply a demonic beast such as a dragon. Salin's solution is to use two skeleton horses to pull the cart, but there are no necromancers above level 4, and this method is also a mirror.

The maintenance of the magic chariot is also a problem, in order to reduce the consumption, the expeditionary force usually disassembles and seals the magic chariot, and will not put it together until it is needed. Even so, the magic chariot must often consume the magic core to maintain the operation of the magic array, otherwise the performance of the magic chariot will be reduced over time.

It was because of so much trouble that the Qin Yin Empire did not equip too many magic chariots, but only made some basic materials, and would not use this kind of money-burning equipment unless the enemy invaded. In contrast, war puppets are expensive to build, but they are very low.

In addition to the material aspect, the biggest consumption of war puppets is that they need to build a huge alchemy factory before manufacturing, and it costs a lot of money to build such an alchemy factory. However, after the war puppet is created, it basically consumes medium-level magic cores, and it can also be transported in a split way. In the event of an emergency, the war puppets themselves can travel long distances.

After the magic tower is built, it does not need much maintenance, and the magic tower itself is a self-repairing building. The only weakness is the inability to move.

Saleen has a lot of materials for building a magic tower. That's what Shreg Island accumulates. He himself is powerless to build, whether it is a magic chariot or a war golem. Now that he had a ready-made chariot, Saleen's strength immediately increased a lot.

In the afternoon, Naris brought all the parts of the magic chariot to the temple, and Geyi was summoned to Salin, who told him that his first team would be led by him. The thin man was so excited that he knelt down in front of Salin and wanted to kiss Saleen's feet.

Seeing this, Sika immediately pulled out his boomerang and threw it over. Salin's feet are also hers, and she can't just let someone else kiss her. Geichi was startled, his hand retracted, and the boomerang sank nearly halfway to the ground. You must know that the floor of the Temple of Saleen is also paved with white stones collected on the coast, and the strength is comparable to steel.

"Hmph, just talk well, don't move. Sika stepped forward, drew his boomerang, and glared at Ge.

Ge Yi naturally didn't dare to disobey Xika's words. He had already heard rumors that this Caucasian woman had become the lover of Lord Salin. No matter how much Saleen trusts himself, he can't talk to his pillow.

"Geyi, I've seen all the people under you, what do you think, how is the combat effectiveness?" Saleen motioned for Shika to leave for a while, and Shika also felt annoyed by the appearance of Geyi, so he left Sarin's room. Although she knew that Geyi was loyal to Salin, she didn't like to look at people's flattery.

"Lord Hui, these old brothers can barely fight each other personally, but they don't have the skills to cooperate with war horses, and on the battlefield, they are not even as good as heavy infantry. ”

"It's good that you know, but the barbarians I've assigned to you are about the same as yours in riding. Anyway, everyone is training on skeleton war horses, saving a lot of trouble, you this month, don't train them to ride spears, go and learn scimitar skills with those few Warcraft swordsmen. Also, let them practice their crossbow arrows. ”

"My lord, if you don't have spear skills, it's hard to tear through the enemy's formation!" Ge Yi has read a lot of books on war, and recently he has become a bit of a soldier.

"I'm not letting you become heavy cavalry, the durability of the skeleton war horse is not good, the impact is not good, the main thing is that it can't be borne for the knight, and the cavalry needs more strength in the skeleton warhorse. Barbarians are okay to say. Your body will not work, unless you all become swordsmen. ”

Ge Yi lowered his head, he also knew that his group of pirate brothers were not suitable for horse fighting.

"Now the barbarians in our hands can become heavy infantry in the future, and the cavalry can choose from the Caucasians. Train me light cavalry. ”

Ge Yi couldn't hide his disappointment, but he still nodded in agreement.

"Geyi, don't underestimate the light cavalry, if the light cavalry has strong archery skills, it can also become the main force on the battlefield. In the past, when human beings were the most powerful, they could ride high-level magical beasts and even giant dragons, and at that time heavy cavalry and air cavalry were the protagonists of the battlefield, but now, light cavalry can cause huge damage to the enemy by hitting with bows and arrows. ”

"My lord, I see. Ge fell to the ground in a happy heart. He also understood this truth, but an army, most importantly, heavy cavalry, and infantry, light cavalry were mostly supplemented, so he was a little reluctant at first. But he also understands that he is not only from a bad background, but also has a thin foundation. Being able to command light cavalry for Salin is also a not low position.

Salin didn't continue to speak, and he suddenly became deep in thought. I didn't think about conquering the city, so I attached great importance to heavy infantry and light cavalry. Because both of these are more effective than heavy cavalry in urban defenses. Especially the heavy infantry, wearing more than fifty catties of steel armor, forming a * human wall, even the heavy cavalry is difficult to take advantage.

The heavy steel armor renders ordinary arrows useless, and even alchemical crossbows require a medium or higher to penetrate the defenses of heavy infantry. Miniaturized crossbow bolts can't kill heavy infantry at all.

They have barbarians, Caucasians, and they can fully support a heavy infantry force of more than 10,000 people. More Caucasians will come in the future. It's not a dream. But don't you really want to talk about the expansion of the country? If it is possible, if you annex Phoenix by yourself, you can establish a country, and with the power of the country, you can support more magicians.

Salin remembered the inside of Qin Yin's palace, the Neku that he still envied to this day. The equipment and materials collected by Qin Yin's royal family are very eye-catching even in Salin's eyes now. It was the accumulation of a thousand years of empire.

Don't look at the number of mages in Qin Yin's army, but the royal family can expand the mage group at any time as long as they want. Because the Grykos family can afford to provide for it.

It's a tempting idea, but if he was going to do this, how much time would he have to devote to the cultivation of magic?" Salin shook his head, giving up on the idea for the time being. He didn't want to waste too much time before he became a magician.

Seeing that Salin shook his head, Ge Yi hesitated for a moment and asked, "My lord, what are you dissatisfied with my people?"

Now Geyi can talk to Salin, so the communication is not the same as before.

"No, I remembered something about myself. Geyi, you have to do this thing I told you well, it won't be long before Rex will bring more troops into this city, and when the time comes, I need someone to suppress the scene. ”

Ge Yi's face was a little embarrassed, if he were another pirate, he would definitely pat his chest and say that he would not disappoint Salin. But Ge Yi had read a lot of books and gained a lot of knowledge, and he knew that the hundreds of people he trained were definitely not as elite as Rex.

It will take at least five years to train an elite army, and it will only be long before Saleen captures them.

Salin smiled and comforted: "I know that in a few years, you can't make these people elite, but we can make up for the shortcomings in equipment." Although Rex is rich, I am not poor, these five hundred. I'll build magic gear, one for each person. ”

Ge Yi's eyes lit up, although the status of the light cavalry is not as good as that of other troops, if it is a light cavalry wearing magic armor, it is a magic cavalry, and its status is not lower than that of the heavy cavalry!

"My lord, I will not fail your trust. Ge Yi replied respectfully.

"Well, during this time, I will have Daniel and Credian train with you, and you will choose a hundred barbarians to train in the manner of heavy infantry. When the time comes, these hundred barbarians will be responsible for protecting the mage. ”

"My ......, my lord"

"The matter of the battle, it is still you in command, Daniel and Crian will not follow you all the time, I will send you a low-level mage in the future, and accompany the army all year round. ”

Ge is overjoyed, even if there is one three-pole mage in the team, the probability of them surviving is doubled. Sometimes a wound from an arrow can kill a person, and even if it doesn't hit the vital point, the wound can worsen. And for magicians, this only takes a little Repair Water to heal.

And the troops with magicians must be descendants. Salin said that in the future, he will equip himself with a mage for a long time, which is to affirm his efforts. Although Daniel and Credian are strong in combat, Geyi is very inferior in front of them, and he does not have the courage to command the two great magicians.

Although low-level mages are not easy to command, they can maintain a certain degree of decision-making power in the army.
