Chapter XXXVIII
Benjamin and the others in the city of Yasore did not know what was happening on the side of the Holy See, and after the battle with Matthews, everyone was busy, because the combined forces of the Holy See and the Horde had been stationed outside the city, so the royal city had to be completely closed, and the repair of the city wall was also carried out in a hurry.
After this battle, the already insufficient forces of the royal city were even more stretched at this time, with less than 40,000 people, while the Holy See coalition army on the opposite side had a full 100,000 army. Moreover, many of these 40,000 people are just original auxiliaries, and the so-called auxiliaries are the types of troops that help the hoplites wear equipment, and a hoplite knight needs at least two attachments, otherwise it is likely to delay the fighter. Because it is impossible for a heavy knight to wear a full set of equipment from the beginning of the war, not only the knight himself can not bear the equipment for a long time, but even the war horse under the crotch can not bear it, a heavy knight's full set of equipment adds up to more than sixty pounds, plus the war horse itself will be fully loaded, so the weight bearing capacity of the war horse is a test, at the beginning of the general war, the heavy knight repeatedly sprints three or five back and forth is already the limit.
And now because of the lack of troops, coupled with the fact that they are only defending and not attacking, these attachments have also been placed in the position of defending the city, but the combat effectiveness of these attachments is not very flattering. This is also a helpless way, otherwise, the huge royal city has less than 30,000 soldiers, which will make the residents in the royal city worry that once the people flee in a large scale, the morale of the soldiers defending the city will inevitably be greatly affected, and the consequences are really unimaginable.
Christine was now deliberating with the only two generals in the royal city, while Benjamin and the others were in a separate room discussing the current situation.
"After the last battle, although the morale was not affected too much, the problem of insufficient troops has been exposed, and I am worried that this will affect the soldiers. Spinson spoke first, after all, he had been the deputy head of the Holy See Knights, and his experience in leading troops to battle was far more comprehensive than that of several others.
"yes, not to mention that there are two teams to take turns watching over those people. Ruoqing also said that the people referred to here were the people who had been bewitched by the heart of the Holy Light by the night attack on the royal city, and had been brought back to the royal city at this time and placed in the barracks again, but it was a separate piece, and the two swordsman battalions took turns to take the duty of defense and vigilance.
"Bédric, how are you recovering, are you able to summon the skeleton corps?" Benjamin turned to Bédrik on the other side and asked, remembering that he had asked this question before the trial, but at that time, Béderick's strength was insufficient, and he could only summon the lowest-level skeleton soldiers that the original thief group could use as cannon fodder. And now, after more than a year, I don't know what happened to Béderick, so I asked.
As soon as everyone heard Benjamin's question, they all stopped talking, and looked at Bédrick with expectation in their eyes, and Béderick also felt the expectation in everyone's eyes, but his question was clear to him, and he hesitated for a while, not knowing how to answer this question.
"Uh......" Bederick hesitated for a moment, and then said as if he had made a lot of determination: "I am now at the level of level six, and it is not a problem to summon the undead legion, mainly because the coordinates of the undead plane I got here are not very good, and I can't summon powerful undead, just the lowest-level skeleton soldiers, and if a large number of undead are summoned, there needs to be enough spirit pool to support it, otherwise even if a powerful undead is summoned, there will be no enough supplies and it will quickly become weak." ”
"Spirit pool?" asked Benjamin, who didn't know anything about necromancers, with some curiosity.
"Well, it's something that has been crafted to resemble the environment of the undead plane, which can provide the undead who have left the undead plane with the material to survive. After Bédrick explained it succinctly and straightforwardly, Benjamin understood.
"What materials do you need to make the Spirit Pool? Are there any on this road, and how much do you need?" asked Benjamin after understanding the necessity of the Spirit Pool's existence, pointing to the core.
"Green Ghost Gems, in terms of quantity, one standard unit of Green Ghost Gems can support three thousand skeleton soldiers of the lowest level, if it is like a Headless Horseman or a Blood Skeleton, it is about five hundred. Bédrick explained.
The so-called standard unit here refers to the common unit of measurement of gemstones on the continent of Pamir Melas, which is about one hundred and twenty carats in size, of course, the jewelry stores in the mainland will not use such a unit of measurement for those noble ladies and young women, and the jewelry stores sell a standard unit of gemstones evenly cut into twenty-four small pieces, and then process and sell. These standard units are used among professionals, who do not see gemstones as ornaments.
In addition, those cut gems sold in jewelry stores do not pay attention to whether the energy structure of the gemstone is destroyed, but it is just good-looking, and it is impossible for professionals to use gems whose energy structure has been destroyed, so the standard unit will be born, because the energy structure of a gemstone can only be complete by the size of such a standard unit.
"That's not a problem, you don't have to think about it. Benjamin said very easily, although gems like green ghosts are relatively rare, but Benjamin has them at hand, in the Imperial Library, there are not too many gems left by Teacher Xiao, not to mention green ghosts, that is, there are a lot of dragon crystals and divine crystals that are difficult for others to obtain in their lives, and they are all complete rough stones, and they have not been cut into standard units at all, if you want to cut them, the ninth-level dragon crystal can be cut out at least twenty standard units, not to mention gems like green ghosts, which are rare but not difficult to find, and the volume is even larger。
"Then if that's the case, all that's needed is a stable undead plane's coordinates. Bederick said.
"This......" Benjamin was a little big, this kind of thing is not something that can be wanted, and he doesn't know what to say for a while.
"The coordinates of the undead plane, I seem to have a ...... here" Spinson suddenly said, since he met Benjamin again that night, and saw the old Pope Kiza again, Spinson has completely broken with the Holy See, at this time after hearing about the coordinates of the undead plane, he remembered that he had gone to destroy a small village according to Carl's instructions, and when he cleaned up afterwards, he seemed to have obtained the coordinate address of a plane, and now he imagined that it seemed to be from the undead plane, because the village was said to have a necromancer, and Carl sent himself to bring people.
After everyone heard what Spinson said, they looked over again, which made Spinson suddenly a little Alexander, scratched his head and hurriedly explained, and then rushed back to rummage through the expectant eyes of everyone. After Spinson left, everyone felt that time passed very slowly, but fortunately, Spinson went quickly and came quickly, and returned after a while, and the smile on his face made everyone's eyes light up.
"Found it!" Spinson, excitedly waving a yellowed notebook in his hand, "This is a necromancer who was going to give it to Carl together, but fortunately I kept a mind." After saying that, Spinson also realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and felt a little embarrassed in the somewhat playful eyes of everyone, so he hurriedly handed the notebook to Bédrick.
Without saying a word, Bederick began to look through this notebook, but he didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous notebook turned out to be handed down by an undead archmage, it is estimated that there were indeed descendants of this undead archmage in that village, otherwise how could this kind of thing, which is comparable to the importance of the master's inheritance, appear in an inconspicuous village.
However, at this time, Bédric could not think about that, as if he had obtained the treasure, he just wanted to look at the notebook ********, and everyone was not able to disturb at this time, and for a while the originally noisy room was surprisingly quiet, and he knew that the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door interrupted this peace......
