Chapter 241: Magic Frenzy
At this moment, Wren's mind was full of someone giving a speech, 'I'm here to do three things – fairness!' Fair! Still fucking fair! ’。
Ahem, it's time to apply for the World Heritage Site.
Although Wren has the title of Money-Rich Layman among the kings, his reputation is not getting worse and worse, but getting better and better.
In these years, there is everything.
said that it was for you to make money, but it turned out to be your waist.
Said that it was good to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and the result was given to you in miniature version.
It's good to be worth the money, Rennes is the only one, and it can be worth the money.
When Barbarossa XIII saw the situation on Karak's side, he was so envious that his saliva flowed out.
Now that most of the Devil's Mouth defense line has been rebuilt, once this side of the defense line can be re-stabilized, not to mention that there is no need for countries to sell blood to support, with Karak's national strength, there will be spare strength to help other countries in minutes.
Emperor Barbarossa was so anxious that a counselor reminded him of one thing: "Your Majesty, don't forget." Many of the mage towers in those border provinces can still be used. ”
When the emperor heard this, his whole body suddenly became refreshed.
Why were the five frontier frontiers lost?
It's not the fault of the collective death of the Fa Master!
The mage towers that were the core of defense in the capitals of the five northern provinces were all closed, and they could only make a minimum of self-defense, and this sudden mutation made the Barbarossa people miserable back then.
Now Wren Tesla has returned with the mystery of magic, which is undoubtedly a great benefit to the Barbarossa Empire.
The Emperor, who had been reminded, hurriedly summoned the vassals and knights to raise the matter.
It's not a matter of capital preservation.
With the current strength and the Red Blood River defense line, the Barbarossa people are likely to be able to hold it.
Holding on is a slight loss at most, but after knocking out the main force of the orcs, what if you can counterattack the north, recover the five border provinces, and activate the mage tower to reorganize the northern defense line?
That is, the territory of the empire has expanded by nearly a million square kilometers at once.
That's all fertile black soil!
And what about mines?
How many people can you raise?
How many knights and mages?
Of course, Barbarossa XIII couldn't afford to rely on the royal family alone, but did the following vassals eat dry food?
If you still want a new fief, then invest in shares with the emperor.
That's when Wren was hit by a pile of platinum coins.
Wren, who was almost dazzled by the kryptonite dog's eyes, still looked pampered on the surface.
He turned to the messenger and replied calmly, "I know about the Orcs of the North. As a [Great Humanist], money is not money or anything, and I have an attitude of not caring about it. What I want is the spread of science, and the recognition of physics. Mr. Emissary, you should know what I mean. ”
"This is natural. Your Excellency Tesla and your disciples, the contribution to the world order is obvious to all. Your Majesty has already spoken in advance. Your sect has long been the orthodox religion of our empire, alongside churches such as the Church of Light. His Majesty has contacted the craftsmen and is ready to erect a statue of the ancestors of your sect on the Emperor's Avenue. The messenger saluted respectfully.
With enough money and enough face, Wren naturally won't be stuck with Barbarossa.
"Since His Majesty the Emperor is in such a hurry, I can only select materials from all over your country. That's no problem, right? ”
"No problem, just wait for Your Excellency's order, we can complete the assembly in the capital of the major provinces within three days."
"So be it."
"It's a deal. Your Excellency and your faction are our eternal allies of Barbarossa! ”
The war of this era cannot be said to be crotch-pulling, it can only be said that the assembly process is extremely constipated.
Because of low productivity, the population per unit area of land could not be compared with the Celestial Empire before Wren crossed over. As a result, the build-up between the enemy and the enemy was too long for a traverser to believe.
On the human side, the Pegasus knights flew to the capitals of various provinces to transmit messages to the local nobles, usually dukes, marquises, earls, etc., and then the big nobles sent fast horses to send messages to the small nobles below, viscounts and barons, etc., and then beat gongs and drums to send mobilization orders to the knights below.
It's not just about having people in place. Many local nobles and knights were negligent in their management, and their armaments were not in order.
Then organize blacksmiths to temporarily start work, replenish the armor and weapons, and then mobilize food and grass, and at the same time let the knights expedite the training of the militia and the original professional soldiers, which are basically gone in a month.
Provinces that travel far often have to start assembling two months in advance.
This kind of great war of national mobilization, which can gather half of the army in three months, the emperor snickered.
If it's an orc, it's even more crotch-pulling.
Because of their lower productivity, orcs need a larger area of hunting grounds to feed the same number of people as humans. This results in a slower assembly of orcs on a clan basis.
They need to drive a large number of tamed beasts and demonic beasts to the assembly area, otherwise the pastures near the assembly area alone will definitely not be able to feed their 'domestic animals' as rations.
The farther the distance, the slower the assembly.
However, the Red Blood River is deep, wide and turbulent, and all the shallows along the river have human castle defenses. There is a group of composite beacons every few kilometers by the river as a warning.
More than ten knights were stationed near the river, and if they found that the orcs were forced to cross with a small force, the knights could drive all the orcs down the river to feed the fish in the shortest possible time.
When the orcs have few troops, they will never dare to attack.
From the time Barbarossa's spies discovered that the orcs began to assemble, to the orc army really launched a general attack, it didn't take three or five months to think about it.
It was because you pulled me that Wren had enough room to open a crash course for mages in such a short period of time.
I have to say that after such a long period of foreshadowing and fame, the signboard of the school of physics is absolutely well-known in all human countries.
When the civil affairs officials of the major provinces led people to plant the [Lizi flags] in the central square of the capital, the Barbarossa people were collectively happy.
"By royal order of His Majesty Barbarossa XIII, I hereby urgently recruit magic apprentices in all major provinces to enter the [School of Physics] for training. In order for everyone to sign up, anyone who is selected as a magic apprentice will need to pay 3,000 gold coins for the tuition fee, which can be borne by your honorable lord XXXX, and only need to sign an oath to serve the lord...... If you successfully graduate and become a full-fledged mage......"
The words shouted by the civil affairs officials were much the same. That's what it means anyway: you don't have any money. Sell yourself to the lord, immediately free of tuition, and when you turn back, you can be promoted and get rich and get a fief.
It is precisely because the core of the feudal system is that [the vassals of the vassals are not my vassals], that the lords who can directly control the mage resources are the most motivated to pay this money.
Money! Glory! Fief!
The three elements that can stimulate people the most in this era are alive together.
Not to mention the children of nobles with rich families, the children of businessmen with considerable wealth, and even the commoners are crazy to let their children who meet the age requirements rush to the capital.
For a time, a good knightly kingdom fell into a kind of magical frenzy.
