Solomon first asked a question, "I wonder how the progress is regarding the reduction of the difficulty of teleportation?"

When Edward heard this, he suddenly twitched and did not speak.

"It's not that easy, don't expect too much in the short term. Benjamin said coldly.

"Even if it's done, it's not necessarily good for us. Austin, who has always been not on good terms with Benjamin, also rarely shares the same position as Benjamin.

However, it is not surprising that Solomon was able to appear in this meeting, obviously there was another person in Edward's heart, which was not good news for the two of them, and it was the same goal for both of them to suppress each other appropriately.

And Austin's words are not wrong, because even if it can really lower the threshold of teleporting magic arrays, it is difficult to say that other countries or magician organizations may not be able to do it, it is only a matter of time.

Unless Asturias can break through this threshold first and maintain the lead for a considerable period of time, and then greatly increase the number of troops in this period of time, and quickly solve the dilemma of Yugudral and Faroucion, no one dares to guarantee the vote.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the merchants of the commodity exchange are willing to form their own guards. Solomon said, "If His Majesty can further relax the restrictions on merchant organizations, they should be able to play a role." ”

Edward nodded, "I know that, and in terms of the enthusiasm and organization of the merchants, we in Asturias have some advantages over other countries. I am preparing to order a further relaxation of restrictions on the formation of guards. ”

When Solomon wrote to Edward, he mentioned that merchants should be given more power, and even allowed to form their own private guards during the interplane trade to protect their property from infringement.

However, when it was actually implemented, Asturias could not have been radicalized from the beginning, so it was restricted, and the number of guards that each merchant could form was initially no more than a hundred, that is, the size of a small team.

It seems that the number of people is small, but if you consider that these hundred people must have the strength to withstand the teleportation, the comprehensive strength of this squad is actually above a squadron.

With this antecedent in mind, it is not abrupt that Solomon now takes advantage of the situation to further expand the restrictions of the merchant guard.

"Even lifting restrictions on the Merchant Guard won't be of much use. Benjamin sneered, "Because the guards formed by these merchants are only willing to protect their own property, but they are not willing to participate in coordinated operations." ”

Benjamin did point out the flaw of the Merchant Guard, which was that the Merchant Guard was too scattered and focused on their own interests, which made it difficult for them to wield their power.

There is a saying that a flock of sheep under the leadership of a lion can defeat a flock of lions under the leadership of a sheep.

Of course, this sentence is too exaggerated, but it also points out the fact that before everyone's strength is not disparity to that of ordinary people and high-level warriors, the power of different organizations and efficiency is definitely different.

For example, Wolf, whom Solomon brought over in the Black Rock plane, is no problem in a heads-up format, and it is no problem to fight dozens of dwarves at a time, and he will not be defeated until his physical strength is exhausted, but if he asks ten dwarves to attack Wolf together, he will feel very difficult, and he will have to be wounded to kill these enemies; if the number of dwarven warriors who attack together is increased to fifteen, Wolf will have no obvious advantage, and may even lose.

In this proportion, it would be impossible for Solomon's Wolf army to sweep through the Dwarven clans in the Black Rock plane.

This is the difference between the power that can be wielded by the organization process and efficiency, plus the use of other factors to weaken the strength of the enemy army, for example, although Wolf only has so much, Solo Station got a bunch of cannon fodder servants out of the army, and rushed out the Blackstone Fortress before the big war.

In Solomon's eyes, the Terrans had far more advantages than orcs not only in terms of magical civilization, but also in terms of organizational efficiency.

But Yugudral's merchant guard has not taken advantage of it at all, and the merchant habits have made them accustomed to only looking at their own immediate interests when a crisis strikes, and only a few will see the longer term.

The Asturian national army was originally conceived to be responsible for the defence of the area and the smooth and secure passage of the main roads, and the merchants were allowed to form a small number of guards to guard their commercial activities on routes away from the main roads or in remote areas.

This was originally true, but now that Asturias was at odds with the Church, and other nations were taking advantage of it, Edward's army was struggling to deal with the main enemy, barely maintaining the task of defending the territory in the area.

The Einsatzgruppen attack on the Yugudrale Aborigines could not be completely stopped, which posed some danger to the merchants.

As Benjamin said, if the merchants were willing to assemble their scattered guards, preferably to the kingdom to form a unified army, then they would be able to maintain some of the main arteries, and at the worst they would greatly reduce the pressure on the kingdom.

But the problem was that the merchants would not do this, because it was not easy to convince most merchants and give the kingdom the only guards in their hands.

In the words of the merchants, they have already begun to pay taxes, which are equivalent to the protection money given to the kingdom, how can they take away the property of the merchants after collecting the protection money? These guards are also hired by the merchants with money, and they belong to the merchants as alternative property, and they should be responsible for the safety of the merchants in the event of an emergency, or the protection of the merchants themselves after they run out of the safe area.

Therefore, of course, the merchants are not willing to use the guards to fill the security affairs that should be in charge of the king's ** team, and they are not willing to hand them over to the unified command of the kingdom, who knows if the kingdom will be directly used as cannon fodder on a large-scale battlefield to consume, then the commissions paid by the merchants for this will be in vain

However, the kingdom does not dare to force it at this time, because first, mercenaries are originally working for money, and if the kingdom wants to use force to force them to leave their employers to fight, then they don't know how low their morale will become, and it will even cause infighting. If it is self-defeating, where will the surplus troops of the kingdom come from now?

However, the most important thing is that the payment of taxes by the merchants has become an important source of support for the continuation of the war on the heteroplane, and it is in Yugudral's taxation that Edward can maintain a superior situation over Farusion, if the merchants' guards are forced and the merchants are separated, the war may begin to collapse from the inside.

After Benjamin said these words, although he was a little deliberately embarrassed Solomon, it was also true, Solomon's construction would be very difficult to implement, even the king could not believe it, how could the merchants give their guards to any one person.

Solomon shrugged his shoulders, but as if he had conceded defeat, he no longer entangled with Benjamin, and smiled: "Then I have a second Jianyi." ”

"Oh, and what should I hear?" Edward's spirits perked slightly, and his gaze swept over Solomon, and suddenly landed on a ring on Solomon's finger, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he regained his senses.

It was a magic ring, but the ring was not a great thing, what really worked was the magic gem on it, which was the gift that Tiffany had inexplicably gotten at the beginning, and then insisted on giving it to Solomon, and Solomon only agreed to "borrow" the magic gem.

"A large number of qualified orcs were hired as mercenaries to fight in Yugudral. Solomon was straightforward.

Everyone in the room was stunned, including Mansfield, the old courtier who had been dozing off, and his eyes opened suddenly.

"Hire orcs?" Benjamin's eyes widened.

"Yes, my exploration in the Black Rock Plane was all fought by hired Wolf. Solomon said.

Solomon's suggestion was bold, he was exploring the Black Rock Plane, and hiring a small number of orcs as an army was not the same thing as hiring a large number of orc troops in Ugudral.

The former's war is not related to other countries, in other words, as long as it is shouted everywhere, no one knows, and even if someone knows, hundreds of orcs are not a big deal, and there are orc mercenaries in Turin in the Kingdom of Aurora, and other countries and churches do not turn a blind eye.

But it was not the same with the orcs to fight in Yugudral, which could not be disguised in front of the Church and other nations.

Although there is no large-scale war between the human and beast races, there has always been hostility and cold war, and suddenly they want to cooperate with them, which makes everyone here unable to turn around for a while.

"This, how can this be, this will make us become traitors to the human race on the big 6, and His Majesty will also bear the infamy. Austin frowned.

"So for the sake of the whole race, we must give up the possible way of life, and then wait for the slaughter and poke of other Terran compatriots, and then expel them from the battlefield of the different planes, or even wait for them to be called by the Church, in the name of disobedience to the gods, and sit and wait for death?" Solomon began to defend and attack, "I just don't know if this sacrifice is so noble that when the time comes, in front of the enemy's army, can this sacrifice be used as a reason to slow them down, and can hold up their long knives and spears held high?"

"You!" both Benjamin and Austin felt a hint of anger, but for a moment they were trapped by the reason, not knowing how to refute it.

The two of them may be worried that Asturias will be called a "traitor", but Solomon doesn't care at all, because in his bones he is just a traverser, and everything is in his own interests.

What he was worried about was that the big tree of Asturias had fallen and he could no longer shelter himself, as for cooperating with the orcs, he would be infamous for it, and it was not the first time for him to do it.
