Chapter Forty-Nine: Family Strength
"Master, the family members have already been chosen. Farah handed over the form, "And the council has made a decision on that matter, in addition to calling for calm and restraint, it has also passed a supplementary law, and the half-breeds are also considered aliens, and the number of participants in the battle cannot exceed one-tenth of the number of drows. ”
"It's for the best. You can just talk about the members. Uncle Mike closed his eyes and recuperated, and the two concubines on the left, Shadurilna, and Gina Fei on the right, were helping him rub his shoulders.
"There are 34 members of the original Sanzang family, 33 of whom were selected, 248 members of the four families, 220 of whom were selected, and 190 of the original Taislun reserve members, of which 91 were selected. At present, there are 344 members of the new family, including 139 fertile women, 58 young and middle-aged men, 40 middle-aged and elderly people, and 107 minors. ”
"Why is the number so strange, isn't it good to recruit whole numbers?"
"There are also 29 people who have requested a postponement of training due to injury, three of whom have fully recovered and should be able to be selected, and the place is reserved for them. The other 26 were too badly injured and permanently injured to be unexpectedly selected. Farah explained.
"I see. Mike nodded, "What level are these people?"
"There are 2 priests at the 5th level, 5 at the 4th level, 11 at the 3rd level, 47 at the 2nd level, 1 at the 5th level of mages, 2 at the 4th level, 5 at the 3rd level, and 19 at the 2nd level. The 3rd order spells are all members of the original four families who surrendered, and none of the civilians have any. However, considering the difference in education, perhaps the civilians have more room to grow, and I have appropriately lowered the standards for them when recruiting people. "Farah thinks that the quality of the members is already very good, although it can't be compared to Teslon, the sixth family.
Shadurilna pursed her lips, this level is stronger than the former Fae family, and it is more than the number of people in the second order.
"Yes. Are there any of the middle-aged and elderly people who are being trained who can use third-order spells?" Mike asked.
"There is 1 mage. ”
"Yes. Mike felt that there was too much difference between the quality of the members of the Dark Elf family and the civilians, "How many more are you going to recruit?"
"160 middle-aged and elderly people and 43 minors, expanding the family size to 550. While normally a lot, our population is aging, not to mention the Alliance's expansion and ability to trade with your other realms. Farah explained.
"You can do it. How many people are willing to go to other territories?" Mike wants to send some people to Ruins. He hadn't figured out what the place would do other than be a secret base that wasn't particularly secret, but he would get some people over anyway.
Farah grimaced: "No one wants to go. There are rumors that we are going to sell people to the surface. ”
In the face of the people, the dark elves are certainly evil and powerful terrorists, but in the eyes of the dark elves, the surface people are also fierce and cunning armed thugs. Two worlds that lack communication and are hostile to each other's senses are nothing more than each other's.
"Alas, people are terrible. Mike sighed, "Is the mage willing to go for training?"
"Ken. ”
This one is more reliable, after all, the other three families are going.
"What was the strength of those 26 permanently damaged people?"
"There are 8 priests at the 2nd level, and 5 mages at the 2nd level, most of them are professional warriors, and one of them is quite powerful, but unfortunately they are all too seriously injured and useless. ”
"Do you think they're going to go?" Mike asked. It's okay to recruit some cripples, there is a way to cure it, the 7th-order divine regeneration technique.
"I should be willing, otherwise I won't be able to live for a few days even if I let them go. ”
"I hope so, maybe there are some middle-aged and elderly people who are willing to go, so you can take a look at it then. ”
"Okay. Farah nodded and made a note of it.
"How's our slave?"
"Not counting the ones you want to take with you, and the Knights of Truth, but also Goblin 450, Kobold 200, Orcs 19, Goblin 16, Dwarves 23, Ogres 11, Half-Drow 17, and crippled slaves of various races98. According to the speculation of several former hostesses, even without considering the need for expansion, 700 Goblins, 250 Kobolds, 100 Orcs, 70 Gnolls, 50 Dwarves, and 50 Ogres are needed. What do you think?"
"Well, I'll think about it first, and I'll talk about it in a few days. "Mike has a headache, it's too much, the goblin kobold is almost gone, high-end slaves are not easy to buy, and obviously cost a lot of money. The Sanzang family and the four annexed families had spent a lot of money before, and now their property was basically left with magic materials, war materials, and some food. The materials were given to the teacher, and some of the war materials were to be distributed to Sal and Sermena for the income, and the other part was to be used, so it can be said that there was no money.
In the previous family war, because of a super electromagnetic cannon, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the four families were left with less than 400 goblins and a hundred other slaves. Although the Sanzang family had bought a total of 1,200 slaves before, they were mainly goblin kobolds, and they suffered heavy casualties from friendly fire, even if they added the 100 slaves that Mike was going to let them "live a happy life" in order to keep his promise, there were less than 600 left. Eliminate the permanent damage and subtract the ones that Mike is prepared to use as cannon fodder along the way because of their weakness, but that's all there is left.
By normal standards, the ratio of slaves to adult dark elves is between two and three. This is mainly due to the fact that the Dark Elves are basically only engaged in warfare and relatively high-end labor, and the rest of the work is done by slaves. In more modern terms, a Dark Elf can create jobs for two or three slaves.
Goblins are the dominant slave race of the Dark Elves, generally numbering more than twice the adult population of the family. They are intellectually capable of most jobs, but they are not so smart that they have a lot of minds; they are more than eighty centimeters tall and roughly half the size of a dark elf, so they are more convenient to do things; they have the advantage of reproducing quickly and low consumption, and according to the average standard, about thirty goblin slaves are equivalent to the resources consumed by an ordinary dark elf.
Kobolds are a race of slaves that compete with goblins for jobs, and are at a disadvantage in competition. They are intellectually similar to goblins, but they are only about 60 centimeters tall, making it difficult to become servants. Although it breeds faster and consumes less, it cannot compensate for the disadvantage of low physical strength and poor stamina. Although it is somewhat of a warlock blood, it requires training to have a low probability of activation. Almost everyone in the long-lived race of the Dark Elves knows a few spells, and they want slaves instead of low-level warlocks. That is, they are more good at mining and burrowing, and families with minerals such as Tesren and Jacks like to use it.
Orcs and goblins are the mainstream of slave coolies, one has great strength and the other has good stamina, and they usually work as cannon fodder when they do strength work, and the consumption is about four times that of goblins. Generally, there is competition for posts, and the number of people is generally two to three percent of the adult population of the family.
Bear goblins and gnolls are the mainstream of slave warriors, with rough skin and thick flesh and great strength, and they are usually cannon fodder when they do strength and live battles, and the consumption is acceptable, the gnolls are about six times that of goblins, and the bear goblins are nine times that of goblins. Generally, there is competition for posts, and the number of people is generally about 20% of the adult population of the family.
Ogre and Minotaur belong to the high-level slave warriors, both have been trained for a long time, and their effects in battle are somewhat similar to those of tanks, and the consumption is about twenty to thirty times that of goblins, which is close to ordinary dark elves. It is also a competition for posts, and the number of people generally does not exceed one-tenth of the adult population of the family.
The relationship between the dwarves and the dark elves is okay, but that doesn't stop the dark elves from enslaving them. The role of the dwarves is mostly stonemasons, but also blacksmiths, and they have a high status among slaves, as well as the presence of non-slave civilians, and the gray dwarves also have this role and status. The consumption is roughly equivalent to ten goblins, and the number of people is generally close to one-tenth of the adult population of the family.
Both Semi-Drow and Humans are special slaves, and their numbers vary. The half-drow in the mouth of the dark elves does not specifically refer to the hybrid of humans and dark elves on the surface, but includes all people with dark elf blood but no spell resistance, among which the purebred dark elves who have not been able to stimulate spell resistance until adulthood have the largest number.
The types and numbers of slaves may vary greatly from family to family, depending on their own characteristics, and in general circumstances.
The first family, Kemoller, attaches great importance to obtaining resources through trade and battle, and after refining, he trades with Morsobrai City with the teleportation array, which requires relatively strong warriors to protect caravans or battles, so the number of oxen heads is enough to be half of the family's adult population, and the number of orcs is small.
The third family, Teslon, mainly mined to forge weapons and armor, and kobold miners took the place of goblins, and there were many dwarves.
The sixth family, the Sanzang family, only has a stone mine that can make furniture and low-grade armor, which is barely a special resource, and it needs some kobolds, and nothing else can be discussed, so there is no need to make any characteristics. It's just that now, Mike thinks about it, and it is more appropriate for low-grade slaves to be based on kobolds who reproduce the fastest, although it is somewhat inconvenient, but it is acceptable. After a few years, the number of goblins will also rise, and it will not be too late to adjust.
But high-end slaves can't be fooled like this, otherwise it will definitely cause big problems, the most obvious is the lack of meat shields in battle. Dark elf warriors have never been known for their strength, whether they fight monsters or PK, they like to let heavy tanks such as ogres in front, otherwise it is easy to suffer by the opponent by rampage with strong armor. About three days east of Faturi is the Grey Dwarf Rock City, which has about 4,000 men, and there is a discord between the two sides from time to time, so this type of tank is indispensable. The lizard cavalry can do it, but how can that kind of elite warrior be used to replace cannon fodder that is extremely prone to death and injury, not to mention that the Sanzang family may not be able to have a few.
It is also necessary to have manual work, otherwise the efficiency is too low, and it will also cause the delicate dark elves to complain.
After thinking about it, it still has to be added.
It's just that it's not so easy to supplement, even if you use hormones for reproduction, it will take two or three years, and if you buy it, there is a lack of supply.
The Mutual Aid Alliance is indirectly confronting the Alliance, even if they are willing to sell slave soldiers, it will inevitably be a high price, and the Progressive Alliance is not good, first, one of the important members, the Fourth Family Ajess, secretly participated in the war and lost a lot, and secondly, the Alliance wants to cooperate to attack the resource points on the east side of Faturi, and there will definitely be another group of deaths, no one is very rich, thirty or fifty may be fine, but it is far from two hundred.
If you go to a nearby city to buy it, I don't know if it will work, let the four former housewives discuss it, don't you just have to do these chores if you keep them, you should also have experience, and my brother still has something to do.
Well, the teacher is still far-sighted, and he should let the gray dwarves of Rock City make their due contribution to the development of the world.
Audrey has not been in a very good mood recently, although he said that he would not eat the vinegar of the master, but he was too much, and he even fooled around with twenty or thirty female drows every night.
"Sir, Audrey has something to ask you. ”
"What's the matter? Looking at Audrey with a straight face, Mike was a little weak-hearted, and he was indeed a little carried away these days.
"When are we going back?"
"This, that, there are still some things to deal with, and we have to wait. "Mike Zhiwu, happy here, don't think about it......
"Master, you look like this every day, if you let Miss know, she will be sad to death, Audrey herself is very sad. ”
"Well, you must not tell Kenar and Cecilia about these things. Mike was a little nervous. Among his **, Audrey is the prettiest and Shadurellna is the most seductive, but the most beautiful and seductive does not necessarily mean that she has the highest status in her mind.
"Audrey won't say it, and she'll hide it for you. But if you keep going like this, Mademoiselle will always know. Audrey grimaced.
"Alas......" Of course Mike knew that Kena would always know it over time, but ......
"Master, it's very convenient for you to come back, Audrey can help you hide it, and I'm willing to do anything else for you, let's go back quickly, okay." Audrey's eyes were a little red, and if she could, of course she wanted Mike to be alone with her, and even if she couldn't, not like she was now.
Mike gently took Audrey in his arms, feeling that he was so unreasonable. "I have to go to the shadow plane for a while to practice mystical arts, and this time I went back to borrow from the shadow plane, so I wanted to do the two things together. But now there are two to three weeks left before that stage, and then we can go again, and we can do something here during this time, do you say?"
During this time, Mike was even more out of the ordinary......
"Okay, sir, Audrey just doesn't want to, alas, if only you could be nice to Audrey alone......"
Mike sighed secretly, sure enough, everyone will have a desire for exclusivity, but this request must not be agreed.
"Be harmonious, tolerant ......"
Audrey sighed secretly, Sister Xiaowang is too right, men are dogs.
"Master, have you left all those people here?"
"Shadurilna and Gina Fei are going to take them, Suu and Vona Gina Fei are going to train, the others are not going to take them, and they don't want to go. ”
Audrey quietly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the old man didn't want to take a lot of people with him too much, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.
"Master, Sister Shadurellna is too weak and too beautiful, it is easy to have an accident on the surface, is it good for Audrey to teach her?"
"Not good. Mike flatly refused. Some time ago, you bullied Shadurellna every day, but you haven't bullied enough. "I'll let Gina Fee teach her and protect her. You're also prone to accidents, and Furna protects you. And a five-man guard for each of you. ”
"Audrey is very strong and can beat Forna. "Audrey is colorful, the old man always feels weak, which is not good. However, Gina Fei is not necessarily, the key is that she has spell resistance, and her martial arts rely on magic, which is very disadvantageous.
"Oh, hasn't she mastered Transfiguration?" Mike said. It wasn't long after the war that Fuerna activated the Transfiguration, and it's been a month, and now she's quite skilled at turning into a demon and a ghost, but unfortunately she still can't become the much-anticipated devil.
"Although her martial arts skills are much better than when Audrey first arrived, she still can't do it, and the swordsman martial arts haven't been introduced yet, so she can't be well combined with spells. ”
"That's right. Mike nodded, and while Furna had a talent for the barbed chain, she was clearly not high enough to be of great use in a short period of time. "You're an agile magic warrior, although you can win against Lazer, but it's just just restraint, I haven't been able to figure out your specific strength, how about Patch Palabi who is also an agile magic warrior?"
“...... Pachpala is the number one master. "Audrey still can't believe that kobolds can be so powerful. She couldn't even beat the unchanging Pache Parra.
"Oh, what about Yoda?" Mike was a little strange, didn't he say that Yoda was even better.
"He's the second best player with the ring, and Pache Pala has too many spells. "Audrey also had a hard time believing that the goblin could be so powerful, and although it used very powerful magic equipment, even if she didn't use that ring, she still couldn't win......
"And who's the third master?" Mike was interested.
"No. 9 Lazer, his swordsmanship is really strong, Pache Para and Yoda have turned into mountain giants and have to use spells to win him. It's a pity that he has a poor will, and is prone to losses, and he uses a sword and shield, so he is not known for his strength, and it is not very suitable for him to become a big ring. ”
"Then there's No. 7 Raz, who is a half-troll with a tall and long arm, and his large size gives him too much strength and attack range, and he can regenerate. However, he was less willed than Lazer. Audrey explained.
And then there were several people, none of whom stood out, and Audrey was among them. Master, Audrey can also activate the 4th order spell now, you said that I also choose Transfiguration to learn the power type martial art to become a demon ghost woman. Audrey hugged Mike's arm and shook it.
"It's not good, learn any door. Mike flatly refused. What's wrong with a good end and a two-way ceremony to become that kind of monster.
"Oh. In fact, Audrey is not suitable for transfiguration, the water fairy shield is gone after transformation, and the bloodline is also more suitable for stimulating illusion and enchantment spells. "Audrey was melancholy.
Mike is overjoyed, that's good, you don't have to mess around, but of course you can't say that.
"Your martial arts are not suitable for fighting alone, so it's better to cooperate with people. Fuerna is already good, so let her protect you. ”
"Forna didn't really want to go, she wanted to be with Lazer, and asked me if I could let her stay. Audrey said. She has a good relationship with everyone, except for the vixens.
"Well, let her stay. Mike nodded. Although Fuerna inspired the Transfiguration, her martial arts couldn't keep up with the strength, and it was just like that, if she was more, she would be a lot, and it would be good to learn magic martial arts from the dark elf system. "Then who do you think would be better to protect you?"
"It's good for Audrey to follow the master, she doesn't need to be protected, and she can protect the master. Even if the master wanted to do that kind of thing, Audrey could pretend not to know. Audrey's expression was serious and her tone was serious.
Mike Khan, am I that kind of person in your eyes? But thinking about what I've been doing these days, I don't seem to be qualified to say that......
