After four or five days of preparation, Vincent's counterinsurgency force was finally ready.

In fact, it doesn't take that long just to make equipment.

In traditional demon military operations, a lot of the time is based on local materials, transforming the enemies killed in battle into undead creatures and reorganizing into troops, while the monsters do not need to prepare weapons, as long as they fill their stomachs, they can fight at any time.

Compared with the armies of other races, there is a big difference between the demon army, that is, it is light on logistics and heavy on magic power.

Skeletons and undead can theoretically fight day and night without eating or drinking, and will not stop until their bodies are worn out to the point where they can no longer support them.

However, in order for these lifeless skeletons to remain mobile and accept the command of the higher demons, they must be given mana replenishment.

Once the mana stored in the bones is depleted, the skeleton will cease to move and turn back into a pile of dry bones.

Other living monsters can also eat, but they also need to use magic to increase their strength and suppress their irascible nature.

Therefore, the demon army can drive all the way into continuous combat without any regular supplies, provided that you bring enough magic stones or other props that can replenish magic power.

In Vincent's view, the magic stone is equivalent to the battery of the device, and if it does not carry enough quantity, or cannot be used to fight in the war, the offensive of the demon race cannot be sustained.

In the decisive battle between the demons and the continental alliance thirty years ago, the lack of magic stone reserves was also one of the important reasons for the defeat of the demons.

For solving this problem, the demons have not thought of other ways.

In the Demon Domain, there are more magic elements in the environment, and the magic consumed by the monster when it is active is smaller, which can theoretically reduce the consumption of magic stones.

If there is an excellent Chaos Magus with him, he can also change the surrounding environment to make it closer to the Demon Domain, so as to convert the inedible energy into the magic power that the Demon Race needs, so that the Demon Army can obtain a steady stream of magic power.

For example, Vincent's second brother Hissack has such domineering skills.

This benevolent brother tirelessly advocated the transformation of the races on the continent into immortal puppets, and also made a copy of the Demon Domain Experimental Area in his own territory, due to the proximity of the environment to the Demon Domain, it has become a holy place for many high-level demons to go to the country and nostalgia.

However, because of his bad reputation, his territory was blocked by the unanimous condemnation of the surrounding countries and races, and the second brother could only live a self-sufficient and low-energy life in his own territory, lacking nothing but magic.

Of course, not only is there a lack of materials, but also a lack of morality.

It's a pity that Vincent is just a technographer full of toys, and the production of magic stones in the territory is not rich enough, and there are no magician-level talents around him, so he can only honestly look for magic stones to use as a marching energy.

If you can't produce it yourself, you have to have a good relationship with upstream suppliers.

Fortunately, Vincent had the foresight to find an opportunity to establish a good relationship with the local mage guild, and persuaded the chief magician Safin to cooperate with him to start a workshop, and became a business partner with interests.

The business of glasses was unexpectedly profitable, and Vincent lost no time in rubbing out myopic glasses according to actual needs, bringing good news to myopia patients.

Even if there are not many people who study diligently in these years, there are not a few people who are born with myopia.

The magicians and church priests who are known for their poor scriptures have become stable customers, and the crystals and carefully ground lenses of the demons have become sought-after goods, and many people are trying to get closer to the lord in order to treat their eyes.

Even people who are not short-sighted or presbyopic are equally fond of Vincent's goods, such as the magnifying glass provided by the lord later, which is simply an artifact for reading ancient books and doing alchemical research.

Anyone who is knowledgeable will be deeply attracted by the microscopic world that suddenly appears in front of him without realizing it, and this is one of the charms of optical equipment.

Alchemists are not unable to do the same thing, but the high-quality crystals of the Demon Domain and Vincent's skills are still beyond their desire for the time being.

A trusted business partner and a scholar with a variety of fascinating knowledge and unique perspectives, Vincent soon became friends with the local magicians.

So, it was only natural that the magicians abandoned the vulgar merchants and chose to cooperate with the more powerful and potential lord Vincent.

As business partners, the magicians were not so high that they could not even look down on gold coins, and when the rebellion expanded to affect the export of lenses, they could not sit still.

The group of magicians all over the continent are potential customers for lenses.

The topography of the Primorsky Territory is not closed, and if the trade routes are clear, they will receive a large amount of income - which is important for the magicians who are constantly consuming magical ingredients and items, and spending money like water.

So, when Vincent presented his initial plan to counter-the rebellion and told Safin that he was preparing weapons and equipment, the archmage immediately grasped the subtext behind it.

As a person who has personally experienced the war, Safin, as a magic apprentice back then, although he has not directly fought with the demons, he also knows how the demons organize the march.

"You're definitely here to buy magic stones, right?" Safin knowingly asked, "We do have magic stones, but some people don't want us to do that." ”

Obviously, the magic stone of the Mage Guild was also bought from the territory next door, and at best it had undergone some processing, but in essence, it was a group of second-class dealers, and they pretended to be brought up.

If it weren't for the fact that buying ready-made magic stones could save shipping and public relations costs, Vincent himself would have wanted to go to the east to buy a batch of them.

I had long heard that Stein II, the lord of the German capital, was a well-known rich man, but he was also a big dog in the aristocratic social circle, and all kinds of profiteers, celebrities, and unscrupulous relatives always slaughtered him as a great wrongdoer.

Such a good thing, if the human race does it, the demon race can't do it? Just be gentle.

"It's Luke's backer." Vincent asked disapprehantly, "What a lack of pattern, does he think that if you don't sell magic stones, we won't get them?" ”

"Prince Herodes is putting pressure on the guild, and it's making it difficult for us." Safin reluctantly said, "Magicians can't just stay in their own country, they have to travel around, and it would be a pity if Herod didn't welcome them." ”

As soon as the minions were cleaned up, the master jumped out to find a place with a roar.

I have long heard that the prince of Herod is a staunch Zionist, and all the demons who occupy Herod's homeland are a thorn in his side.

It's just that Vincent really lacks a good impression of His Excellency the Prince, who even profiteers and cultists use it in order to restore the country.

If you want to recover the land, you must either use troops openly and openly with foreign countries, or develop internal affairs to attract compatriots, obviously both things are poorly done, and you can only use some unsightly means to infiltrate and destroy, and you really can't be called heroes and heroes.

Doing things only for the present, reckless of the consequences, and not principled, is really not the work of a master in Vincent's mind.

"It's very simple, sell me all the magic stones you don't use," Vincent grinned at Safin, "Didn't we set up a joint venture workshop?" You plan to rebuild the workshop, and I have all the site, technology, and raw materials, so you can use the magic stone to take a stake. ”

Much of the property confiscated by the lords could be used for the merchants, and Safin knew this all too well.

"It seems like a good idea." Safin touched his long snow-white beard and said, "The magic stone is used to make goods, and it is not sold to you......

I have to say that the great magician's thinking is really good.

"As for where the magic stone went, what does it have to do with you?" Vincent said in a rogue tone, "I'm a demon, and I'm using these things for other purposes without authorization, and an upright person like you also feels very helpless." ”

All the bad things are pushed on the demons, and they use this to seek benefits for themselves, which has long been the tacit wealth code of the magnates on the mainland.

Now that the demon has taken the initiative to jump out and take the blame, President Safin, who is eager to engage in the construction of the second phase of the workshop, what reason is there to refuse?

Anyway, as long as the battle is won, the talkative person will shut up, and no one will hold on to these little things.

"It's just that, I'm afraid it's a little ...... for your reputation," Safin said with a shy old face, a little embarrassed, "Maybe you don't care about this, but it's not decent after all." ”

"If the territory is to develop and the people want to be happy, we can't stick to the rules. The rebellion must be put down as soon as possible, and we will teach those restless fellows a lesson that they will never forget, so that they will not dare to destroy the long-term peace and stability of the territory in the next life. ”

As he spoke, Vincent smiled calmly and gently pulled a pile of magic stones on the table to his side.

"Take care of the things before and after, what is the name after death...... The benefits are shared by everyone, and I will bear the infamy! ”

In Safin's surprised and slightly admiring eyes, Vincent temporarily secured the supply of magic stones.
