Janet didn't agree to the reincarnation plan, at least not yet.

"I've been symptom-free for a long time and am now taking care of Isaac. She said stubbornly: "I'm going to feed him, I can't change my body, right?"

Logically speaking, it really doesn't work. The old body is considered to be dead once, and the new body is not necessarily qualified for breastfeeding.

Of course, there are other troubles, such as the uncertainty of spells and the appearance of new bodies. Siegel looked up information from the Federation library and said nothing but a word about the druid's reincarnation. According to the mages, the process of reincarnation does not control the change of race, nor even the gender is uncertain.

Edith laughed when he heard this, and reassured Siegel. "You can't pick a race, it's cast by an elven druid, it can only be an elf or half-elf blood, depending on the effect of the spell. Don't worry about gender, it's definitely still female. However, there is really no guarantee of physiognomy, which is still an uncontrollable part of the spell. ”

Physiognomy is also a big problem - for Janet. Although she always appears in the castle as a human woman all day long, she is actually a demon and is still a very attractive kind. The thought that she might be ugly - though only "it is possible" - was very resistant to it.

"With the new body, I won't be a demon anymore, so will my transformation ability also disappear?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, she was even more worried. Even though Siegel comforted her by saying that the trinkets that used the Transfiguration spell could achieve similar effects as the original transformation, Janet still resisted in her heart.

"I admit it's risky, but I can't watch you become a bone demon. Siegel could only try to persuade him: "For now, this is the only way to eradicate it." If you are under psychological pressure, you can wait for a while. But if it gets worse, whatever your reasons may be. It had to be done. Only by living can you watch our children grow up. ”

Jenny nodded, reluctantly agreeing.

Seeing that his wife was feeling a little depressed, Siegel did everything he could to amuse her. For the whole day, they stayed in their bedrooms, and even the meals were brought in by the servants.

Happiness is precious. But there must always be a sense of distress. Siegel can allow himself to indulge in a complete day, but he can't indulge in his bedroom. The next day he began to devote himself to the work of the lord, inspecting the training of the army and learning about the production of the territory. After that, the knights of the territory were gathered in the halls of the city of Mir to mobilize for war.

Manna sat on his left hand side, Hum Ke on his right, both wearing the latest magical armor. The silvery-white cuirass depicts the nine-clawed squid in black and decorates its eyes with two red gemstones. The two of them tried. Ordinary weapons can't hurt this armor at all, and even if it is hit with a hammer, it won't hurt the body. Although Siegel says that the armor needs to be maintained every three years to maintain this protection, which is more permanent than not being as permanent as other armors, it is a magical piece of equipment after all, and it is not cheap in the New World.

In the warehouse beneath Myr City, a large amount of equipment has been stored through assembly lines, with the largest number of crossbows and ammunition magazines. There are also hundreds of pairs of armor. Had it not been for this war, Siegel would not have had the financial resources to purchase these treasures. It can be said that the wealth accumulated by the nobles and lords of the entire South is flowing to him in a steady stream.

Of course. There are also elves among the providers of wealth. Although runestones don't make much money, the elves' wine is a cornucopia. It was impossible for Siegel to make wine with the grain of his own territory, but selling elven things to the barbarians on the west side of the walled mountains was a profitable business. Wine became meat, furs, herbs, and animal bones, then into rations, leather, bowstrings, and iron ingots, spices, precious stones, and people.

Siegel already had a standing force of 500, plus 4,000 militia ready to mobilize. This was unimaginable to him before. Perhaps these soldiers will return to the fields after the war and use the money they earn to buy cattle and seeds for fruit trees. But now they're a force to be reckoned with under Hum's training.

The horses sent by the Ravens tribe can arm them all into cavalry, but a single class does not play much of a role on the battlefield. Siegel was prepared to equip only half of the cavalry, and some of the others were all heavy crossbowmen.

Light infantry and light cavalry could not take advantage of the elves. Trying to avoid elven arrows on the battlefield is wishful thinking, and the only way to protect yourself is to protect yourself with heavy armor. Rely on equipment rather than martial arts to win.

"The most difficult winter has passed, and spring ploughing has been completed. Now it is time to spare energy to look at the development of this war. Siegel said, "What's the news on the Elven front?"

"There was no movement. Kenji, who had lost his left ear, said in a deep voice. Because of his military exploits and quick wit, he became the lord of Sol Forest Castle. But before the seat was hot, he was driven out by the elves who were better at the forest environment. However, this man's mind is very clear, and he has managed to cover the retreat of all the inhabitants of his territory to the city of Myr. Instead of criticizing him at all, Siegel promised to help him regain his territory.

So Kenji helps Manna to take charge of the detection of the elves and learn all kinds of information. He once sent troubadours to take a city by singing, and now he is even more brilliant in the fight against the elves. With the help of Siegel's "good" relationship with the elves, he quickly figured out the distribution of his opponent's forces, and even knew more about patrols and guards than some elven generals.

When he said that, there must be something to come, Siegel thought to himself. So the mage took a sip of wine, smiled at Kenki, and didn't speak. The One-Eared Knight touched the scar on his chin, cleared his throat, and told what he had seen.

"The elves spread their armies widely, with the Ancient Tree of War as the core, forming many patrol units interspersed in between. They have druids and mages to scout, and it's extremely difficult to get close to, let alone sneak attack. Kenji said, "It is a safe and correct way for Lord Baron to stay put, and those impulsive southern lords have all suffered defeats. ”

He picked up the backpack on the floor, opened it, and pulled out the contents - it seemed to be prepared. There were a few more flags on the table, broken, covered with dried blood and smoky black marks. Then he pulled out some more broken weapons, the tips of arrows, the rings of cracked chain mail, and the broken sword of the curly blade.

"My lord, the elves' weapons and armor are superior to ours, or rather, to the lords of the south. As Kenji spoke, his eyes looked at Manna and Humm, envious of the magical armor on their bodies. "You see, the tip of the arrow is flat, which means that it has not penetrated the elven's armor, and the same is true of the broken sword, and the protection of ordinary chain mail is almost none. If you want to fight the elves, you must improve your weapons and be prepared for everything. ”

The knight picked up the curly-bladed sword from the table, looked at it, and pouted. "These things aren't as good as Heim's kitchen knives. Don't they know how to use weapons like hammers?"

"I didn't see the specifics of the battlefield, but it was speculated that it was much better than with these bladed weapons. Kenji said.

"Not all lords are near good iron mines. Siegel said: "The weapons and armor manufacturing of the Heim Territory, from mining, smelting to final molding, all have the skills of dwarven craftsmen, which can be regarded as the best among the humans in the New World." Our blacksmiths have learned a lot from the dwarves, and this is why they have an advantage that other lords do not have. ”

"Lord Lord, our weapons are better than those of other lords, but compared to the elves, we can't take much advantage, so we can only say that we won't suffer. The One-Eared Knight replied. Since he was smart, he knew it was best to tell the truth in front of Siegel. "But if we can be given magic armor, like that of Lord Manna and Mr. Hum, we are guaranteed to win when we charge. ”

The others laughed in response, but Manna glared at them and then kept her mouth shut.

"No, it's not time for you to strike. Siegel said. "If you want magic armor, you either have to exchange it for war exploits or make an IOU, just like Mohr. Even Mir City doesn't have a reason to give away magic equipment for nothing. ”

"Of course, of course!" One-Ear nodded hurriedly, "We're happy to make IOUs." ”

"Then you have to have that qualification, too. Siegel crossed his fingers, put them on the table, and said in a serious tone: "Some time ago, I was preparing for other things. Two seasons have passed, and I can say that Heim's realm is in the best condition of any human realm in the entire New World, and that has nothing to do with any of you! Only qualified generals can have the best equipment. Now I ask, which of you has the confidence to do it?"

The knights looked at each other and remained silent. Not everyone can train soldiers as harshly as Hum. After they arrived in Myr City, they relied on Siegel's wings, and it can be said that they relaxed a lot. Although they also trained, it was just a scarecrow and a target.

"I have a lot of magic armor, and the weapons with magic are enough to equip you. But I'm afraid you're going to go into battle and give these things to the elves - along with your own lives. Siegel stood up, his voice penetrating everyone's ears, clear and loud: "Give me training immediately! In addition to Humke's five hundred and a half orc army, I want the militia to be as elite as possible! Anything else can be released, focusing on training heavy shields and one-handed crossbows!"

With a wave of his hand, the tattered flags on the table and fragments of weapons and armor flew in front of everyone. He pointed to the shards and said, "We are all my knights, and when you charge at the elves, I appreciate your courage and loyalty, but I don't like that you end up with only such a wreckage! I have time to watch you all now, so be good. Stand down!"

The group got up and walked outside, but Siegel thought for a moment and said, "Humm, tell them how you trained." Manna and Kenji stayed, and everyone else let me out. (To be continued.) )
