Chapter 208: Salin's Preparation (Part II)
Credion and the others quickly gathered in Sarin's room. Most of them remained in the temple and listened to Saleen at any time, or to listen to Saleen explain the subject of magic.
Although it takes a lot of time to work for a mage, in reality, these people save more time. They no longer have to worry about the matter of gold coins, and Saleen will provide them with the most basic cultivation materials. If you can earn income for Salin, Saleen will not keep all of it, but will distribute a portion of it to her followers.
As followers of magicians, many people are treated better than minor nobles. A small nobleman may be bullied by a big man, but a follower of a magician few people are willing to provoke. After all, you are not offending one person, but a group of people, and the leader of this group of people is at least a great magician above level five.
Salin pointed to the dozens of metal bottles placed on the other side of the room and said, "These bottles can store the water of restoration, and you have to fill these bottles in a month." ”
The mages looked at the bottles, which were more than half a meter high, and did not show a look of embarrassment. The healing effect of the Repair Water is excellent, but it is only a first-level magic. A first-level magician with ordinary qualifications can make more than twenty copies in a day. And depending on the mage's ability to control the elements, the yield of the water of repair is also different. A water of repair made by Saleen is at least dozens of times more than that of ordinary mages.
Saleen's task was so easy to accomplish that the magicians just looked at the metal bottles with curiosity. The metal bottle is bronze in color, and it is engraved with countless fine magic patterns.
In fact, these bottles were used to store magic liquid on the battleship back then, and the mages of the time made magic liquid at the same time as people make repair water today.
Whether it is the magic liquid or the repair water, it has a time limit, that is, the repair water made by Sarin will be invalid if it is not used for a month. The average mage can last for about six days. In these bottles, the water of repair can be stored for a long time.
Salin only used the Figaro magic formula to reverse the calculations, and he understood the function of the magic symbols on these bottles.
These bottles were considered the lowest-grade equipment back then, as they didn't have the space attribute and didn't contain too much liquid. However, there are very few pieces of equipment that can preserve the properties of magic liquids, and this kind of thing, no matter which mage gets his hands on it, will not take it out and sell it.
Sarin's Dimension Stone can preserve food, but it can't prevent the Water of Repair from expiring. He was going to send someone to meet Rex, and bring a large amount of repair water, which would definitely be useful, even if Rex's army had not been in a battle and had traveled a long way, many people would have been sick.
Kushui County is in the middle of the empire, and the new city of Salin has surpassed the northern border of the empire for more than a thousand miles, and the climate difference between the two places is too great to avoid such a thing as not adapting to the water and soil.
"I'm going to arm a force of 500 men within a month, this month. You all help me refine my armor. Credian, you're going to help me repair the magic chariot. ”
"Magic Chariot, my lord, can you scoop up the underwater battleship?"
"Of course. Saleen didn't explain to them how Neris did it. This kind of thing is possible for someone else, at least one magician. In fact, it is a magician, and only a magician with a strong foundation and extraordinary equipment like Jason can do it.
Underwater, a lot of magic is restricted, and the use of space equipment is a huge hassle. Only a demon like Neris who is not afraid of water pressure and can manipulate space equipment is suitable for salvaging shipwrecks.
The general way to salvage a wreck is to send someone to dive underwater, tie the hull with a rope, put a buoy, determine the location, and pull the wreck up by the magical power of a larger ship.
The winch that consumes the magic core is also a monster that eats gold coins, and this kind of salvage is very expensive and easy to fail. There are also many strange salvage methods, but they are all a bit troublesome.
Twelve ships from the countries of the East China Sea sank to the bottom of the sea more than a hundred miles away, and Neris had already gone with the winged skeleton to retrieve it.
"Of these five hundred, there will be more than half of the archers, all barbarians. Then I put together two hundred swordsmen, all of whom I had subdued, and who were barely usable now. The swordsmen of Sleeper Island will not be dispatched this time. Salin said this. The mood was a little sad, although he killed those murderers, but the death of more than a hundred swordsmen still made him entangled.
That's more than a hundred swordsmen with good strength and won't betray, all of whom have grown up on Shreig Island since childhood.
"My lord, how many mages are you going to send?"
"Five hundred...... Pair it with two magic chariots, although it's a bit extravagant. Each vehicle has a configuration of one Grand Mage and four Low Mages. I'm going to use the Skeleton Warhorse to pull the Magic Chariot, and I only need two Skeleton Warhorses for each car. Credian, you go with Daniel, and if something goes wrong with the skeleton warhorse, Daniel can give you a supplement. ”
Salin thought for a while, and then said: "There are a lot of mages under Rex, you don't need to compare with them, and leave the matter to Ge Yi to deal with." ”
"Geyi?" Daniel was a little strange, Geyi was also a pirate by nature, and he was fierce, and his subordinates were a little afraid of him. Ever since receiving Salin's support, Geyi has no resemblance to the skinny pirate he used to be. He studied hard every day.
"Well, this person's ability to handle affairs is good, and I plan to cultivate it. ”
Everyone listened quietly, Salin was the youngest person in the room, but in this room that was more than thirty meters long, he was the center of everyone. These people have to rely on him to live better. Saleen said the things he had thought about one by one, and his heart felt heavy. Because he feels this trust, so many excellent people, he wants to lead everyone to live well. Instead of letting these people die for themselves.
"In addition to the magic chariot, we also need to build two ordinary chariots with flamethrowers on them. ”
When he said this, Salin hesitated for a moment, but still said: "You, if you inevitably appear on the battlefield in the future, try not to use magic to attack directly, unless this attack can bring huge returns." The battlefield is not where the mages should be, but without us, those soldiers would have died meaninglessly. What we have to do is to give these soldiers magic so that they can live. So I'm going to make a lot of low-level equipment, and the cost may be bigger, so you have to be mentally prepared, and I'll involve you when the soldiers train in the future. ”
There was silence in the room, and snow was falling outside the window. Huge snowflakes smashed on the glass windows, and the world was silvery white.
Salin's clear voice seemed a little thin in the empty room, which suited his youthful status. Daniel looked at Saleen's calm appearance, and sighed secretly in his heart, he had better re-sign a follower contract with Sarin. If you don't make a choice now, you may not have this opportunity in the future.
Daniel is already convinced of Salin, despite Saleen's today. It was inseparable from the support of his teacher, but if Salin himself was not capable, so many magicians would not be willing to follow him. While other magicians' lifelong goals are to build a magic tower, Salin is already on the verge of owning an entire city at such a young age.
"I designed armor for the barbarians, and you need to help too. The problem of weapons can be salvaged from battleships. The quality of weapons in the East China Sea countries is okay, and we don't need to purchase them for the time being. ”
A regular soldier carries more than five weapons, two of which are long weapons and three are short weapons. When most of the East China Sea soldiers died in battle, they did not even carry a dagger with them. The weapons of these soldiers were all inside the wreck. As long as there are enough people, Salin can muster more than 10,000 people at any time.
The equipment of 10,000 people is not a small amount, and Viscount Guge of Salin's hometown can't make it up even if he tries his best. A baron is only a dozen soldiers, and what Saleen is doing here now has actually long been pleased with the restrictions of the laws of the Empire.
But who could take care of him? His city, after all, was built in the name of Rex. Before the death of Chanak the Great, the decision of the House of Lords had been passed that Rex could have ten battalions of troops.
In order to expand their private army, the nobles have a lot of things to do. Each private soldier is equipped with eight auxiliaries, and those eight auxiliaries, all equipped with the same equipment as private soldiers, are nominally servants of private soldiers, but in fact all of them are the main combat strength of the nobles.
Don't look at Saleen, who only plans to send five hundred people to pick up Rex, an army of five hundred people is also a large force. Because there are no auxiliaries among these 500 people, if they are really expanded, they can reach 2,000 people, that is, two banner regiments.
Five hundred soldiers, which is already owned by a first-class viscount. And more importantly, Saleen has a magic chariot.
The Magic Chariot is not rare, but it is definitely expensive, and it is probably a bit cheaper than the Magic Tower of all the items related to magic. In fact, the magic chariot is a miniature moving magic tower, which also serves as a stabilizing element, a magic amplification. Developed for war, the Magic Chariot is intended for use by magicians, and it also has a certain defensive ability.
On the battlefield, the survivability of the magician is not very strong, among the thousands of armies, there are countless sword masters, especially when ten thousand arrows are fired, the consumption of the magic shield is very terrifying, even the ice armor known for its defensive power cannot support it for a few minutes.
So even if it is a low-level mage, after being sent to the battlefield, there is a special swordsman responsible for protection. And the magic chariot is the best equipment to protect the mage.
Credian leads four low-level mages in the magic chariot. It takes at least five or more mages of the same level to compete with him, and it will be even more difficult to kill him.
Qin Yin is known as the Magic Empire, and in order to attack Qin Yin, the countries of the East China Sea have spent national strength to build a large number of magic chariots, and now they have been directly received by Salin. If these tanks had been pulled to land earlier, it would have been hard to say how this battle would have ended.
