[The protagonist is leaving Holy Rock City.,Start a battle adventure.,Smash the ticket.,These chapters have shortened some of the content as much as possible.,For the sake of coolness]

The Demon Hunter's abdomen is now inlaid with a mixed crystal that is only a temporary replacement. Saleen added a spiritual imprint and immediately developed a spiritual connection with the puppet.

A magic circle appeared in Salin's mind, and this magic circle was so simple that Salin even quickly deduced the magic principle using the Figaro formula. It's just that under this magic array, an extremely complex compound magic array is superimposed, and this magic array is used to stimulate illusions.

Using the power of the magic core, after activating a simple magic array, you can control the actions of the demon hunting spider, and the compound magic array is opened at the same time, releasing illusions.

Compared with the Feilett couple, because their level is too low, they deliberately designed it this way, and it is not easy to manufacture.

After making a few moves to control the Demon Hunter Spider, Saleen put the Spider into the Demon Ring. It turns out that activating illusions also consumes mental power, and when mental power is insufficient, illusions cannot be activated.

"It's really good. Salin was convinced. This puppet is simple, it can maximize the demon-breaking effect of the demon hunting spider, and all the magic arrays are refined inside, and the materials are not damaged, and if you don't like it in the future, you can refine it again.

"Saleen, I heard that you want to do business with the Clyde family on behalf of the Bitterwater Nation?" Aini's mother looked at Saleen in a gentle voice as if she were her own child.

"My name is Lanny, you can call me Aunt Lan. ”

"Yes, the lord of the county is a kingdom to expand trade. ”

"Salin, Aini won't handle the family business after becoming a magician again......"

"Aunt Lanny, I was also forced, I can't help it, I owe someone a favor. ”

"That's good, the mage shouldn't take care of these mundane things, and concentrating on cultivation is the right way. ”

"Yes. Saleen was taught a few words, and his heart warmed.

"Salin, here's for you. Freette took out a book, handed it to Salin, and said, "These are some business notes, you use memory magic to write them down, this business thing is more troublesome than magic, and you waste less time on it." ”

Lenny patted Salin on the shoulder: "Go see the earl, when you come to Yanjing in the future, you can come to us, ...... then"

Then you may be free, Salin thought to himself. Fortunately, he didn't turn his face with Aini at the beginning, the two of them are all strong people, and there are probably many such people in the Clyde family. With a thought of benevolence, I let myself get such two backers.

The Friet couple were a little apologetic, the two of them had caused great losses to the family, and their personal property had been compensated, and now they were giving it to Salin with nothing they could get their hands on. The people who can get Aini to deliver the badge, they can be trusted. This badge bears the spirit of Aini, and it was never stolen by Sareen.

Salin was a guest at the Earl's Palace, and in the palace, Emperor Qin Yin was gathering his ministers and holding a meeting.

"After the expedition, the internal affairs of Yanjing were in charge of the crown prince, assisted by the prince. The war on the front line is urgent, and I can't wait any longer. The border military town has invested 20,000 troops to eliminate the black magicians, and in the middle of July, the gods have descended, and the Tangulas Empire will inevitably send troops at that time to come to conquer. Things were different from what we thought, Qin Yin had to control the war within the territory of the Principality of Garulan. ”

"Your Majesty, what is the Yunliu Empire's plan?"

The Emperor glanced at it, and it was the Imperial Chancellor of Finance who spoke. "Trade is business as usual, and the price of iron will not increase. ”

The Minister of War said helplessly: "What about the joint dispatch of troops?"

Yunliu has high-quality iron ore, which the Qin Yin Empire has been buying in large quantities. This does not mean that there are no iron mines in the Qin Yin Empire, but Qin Yin attaches great importance to agriculture, and the mines have always been in the hands of the royal family, and they are not vigorously exploited. It is impossible for Yunliu to make a fortune by taking advantage of the war, and at most the emperor will be able to stabilize the price of iron by opening the mines. The Minister of Finance asked about the joint dispatch of troops, and the Emperor replied lightly, and the Minister of War had no choice but to speak bluntly.

"If Yunliu doesn't send troops, won't we Qin Yin fight?" the emperor reprimanded.

Seeing that the ministers were speechless, the emperor had no choice but to say: "Qin Yin has more than 1,000 hereditary nobles and hundreds of millions of people, when the country was founded, the land was only a thousand miles, and the population was only one million, what happened to you now? Are you afraid of the cavalry of the Tanggulas Empire, or do you want to believe in the Lord of Radiance?"

The ministers were even more speechless, the Tangulas Empire had fierce cavalry, but Qin Yin had more magicians. If you want to be afraid, there is no one in the hall who is afraid. In the areas controlled by the Holy See, the power of the nobility was greatly weakened, and in the Tangulas Empire, even the coronation of the emperor had to be recognized by the Pope.

What is the fun of such a nobleman?

The Holy See has a large estate, and its annual tax revenue is comparable to that of the Tangulas Empire. If the Holy See is allowed to fight, even if it surrenders, everyone's property will be immediately reduced by half. Not to mention the many powers that the Holy See wields can drive people crazy.

"Your Majesty, even if Yunliu doesn't help us, he won't help the Holy See. It is Skocchia to watch out for. I heard that the Holy See already has a foundation in the north of Scochenia and is instigating war with us. Prince Sephiroth said worriedly.

"Skocian......" The emperor did not continue, remembering Saleen's words in his heart. The large mercenary groups are all in Skochenia, and that is not inferior to the elite of the Empire. These mercenaries work hard for money, not to mention loyalty, and if they are bought by the Holy See, it will indeed be a big trouble.

"Is there any movement in the Duchy of the Rhine?"

"No, it's still a heavy garrison on the border to guard against the infiltration of dark magicians. ”

"Heavy troops?"

"The two swordsman battalions of the Grand Duke of the Rhine have about 50,000 mercenaries. "Sephiroth is in charge of foreign military affairs, and has long found out the military situation near the Principality of Garulan.

"Seventy thousand, counting the auxiliaries, will exceed 100,000. Rex, can you deal with these people?"

The eyes of the twelve dukes looked at Rex in unison, and Rex said calmly: "In a head-to-head duel, I don't have enough troops. But it's not difficult to defeat them. ”

Rex didn't brag about it, her swordsman battalion was already full of strong people, and there may not be a few sword masters, but there were more swordsmen than swordsmen. These 10,000 men are worth 20,000 swordsmen of the Grand Duke of the Rhine. What's more, the emperor rewarded her with countless weapons and armor, plus her own accumulation over the years, as long as there are people, it is possible to expand the army to 30,000.

Kushui County also has the advantage of having a strong cohesion, and this cohesion is only for magicians. In the past ten years, Bitterwater County has cultivated dozens of great magicians, and although these great magicians are not in Bitterwater County, Rex will come back as soon as he is summoned. Coupled with hundreds of low-level mages and thousands of apprentices, Kushui County already had the capital to establish a country.

"Okay, I grant you the strength of ten battalions, the soldiers recruit themselves, lack weapons and armor, and can be transferred from the imperial treasury. I went to the West, and I had behind me the army of the 100,000 Rhine principalities, which was always unstable. You can send two battalions to garrison Garolan to guard me against the Rhine. ”

The ministers changed color one after another, ten battalions, that is a hundred thousand people. Even the prince has only 10,000 soldiers available in normal times. This power is too great, but no one refutes it, and it is always inappropriate for the emperor to go on an expedition and have hidden dangers behind him. The dukes present here are only qualified to command 10,000 soldiers, and send private soldiers to help? This is too distressing. After all, the conflict with the Holy See is still far away, and if the Holy See comes to the door, everyone will not mind if the net is broken.

No one thought that the emperor's expedition would fail, and Qin Yinren's self-confidence was reflected at this moment. In this expedition, the number of low-level mages who rushed to Yanjing one after another was close to 3,000, and for these poor mages, it was a godsend to kill the Holy See's divine stick and make a fortune.

Low-level mages are not strong in their ability to fight alone, and a dozen swordsmen can kill a first-level mage. If there are enough sword masters, a third-level mage is nothing. Thousands of low-level mages can be gathered together to support more than two swordsman battalions.

This is Qin Yin's unique feature - the mage camp. Equipping each low-level mage with ten swordsmen, that's quite a terrifying combat power. Moreover, Qin Yin not only has many mages, but also has a strong folk style, and among those auxiliary soldiers, there are not only farmers, but also many down-and-out swordsmen, and even one or two swordsmen occasionally come out.

According to Salin, these auxiliaries have the strength to compete with small mercenary groups.

Seeing that the ministers no longer objected, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief. Rex established a state, and if there were 100,000 soldiers, it could annex Garudan. The several principalities controlled by Qin Yin are now politically corrupt, and if there was no support from the Qin Yin Empire, they would have collapsed long ago. Rather than let it collapse, it would be better to reclaim it to the royal family of GrΓΌkos.

Sephiroth sighed secretly, after the war subsides, Rex's county may cause internal contradictions in Qin Yin. But the matter has come to this, and he can only take good care of Yanjing and not let outsiders take advantage of it.

What he wants to maintain is the glory of the royal family of Grukos.

It's a pity that his two sons are not angry, and none of them is a magician, otherwise how could the emperor only favor Rex.

"In that case, after three days, I will personally conquer Garulan. Sephiroth ......"

"In. ”

"Yanjing's affairs, please leave it to you. "Emperor Qin Yin said a little heavily. The crown prince has only recovered from a serious illness, and his knowledge and strength are not enough to control the House of Lords. It would be nice if Rex could be appointed crown prince. Now I can only count on this younger brother.

"Your Majesty, for the glory of the Empire. Sephiroth stood up, put his hand on his breast, and saluted respectfully.

In the main hall, the twelve dukes and more than thirty marquis all stood up and said to Emperor Qin Yin: "For the glory of the empire." ”

Emperor Qin Yin looked at the ministers in front of him and thought, do you really remember the glory of the empire? The dream of the Grykos family is to unify the Myers continent and become the fifth dynasty. If you still remember this dream, remember the glory of the past, how could the continent be divided for a thousand years.

No matter what the astrologer says, this time, I'm going to do what I want!
