In the Hogg Mining office, Levi put down the list of adoptions for Zeellandia professionals in his hand and began to clean up the government documents he had accumulated during his absence.

Because Levi had been asleep for a long time, he had already delegated some authority to Iggy, Tiger and Fischer, and the direct authority for the general dispatch of military forces was in the hands of Holtz, the leader of the Gnolls.

So at this time, most of the stacked on his case are some long-term intention plan formulation letters.

The time limit is five to ten years, and Levi needs to sign and attach his magic paw print.

Much of it was originally drawn up by management at Levi's behest, so he only had to look at it and comment on it.

In fact, if a secretary with high enough professionalism can assist in handling these things, Li Wei will have a lot of peace of mind.

As the saying goes, the secretary has something to do, and it's okay... Ahem... Then it's fine.

However, Levi has not yet found a suitable person to do this.

Iggy, Tiger and Fischer all have their own areas of responsibility, and it is impossible for them to play this role.

Holtz?

That guy is okay to lead troops to fight and charge, he doesn't know a single big word, he can only be regarded as a reckless man with some battlefield talent.

As for Alley, this guy was born with a general knowledge of dragons, demons, celestials, and lingua franca, and his IQ is not bad.

It's just the nature of demons...

If it is handed over to her, Zelandia is estimated to collapse in a few days...

Levi turned his head, and when he saw his cheap daughter lying in the corner of the desk and dripping at least three feet away, he finally lost his heart, and silently moved his eyes back to the complicated government affairs.

I don't know how long it took, but after he saw a piece of "The First Draft of the New Army of Zeellandia" proposed by Tiger, he suddenly frowned and thought about it.

The limitations of the times and the environment will also limit the development of the system, and different military systems are directly related to the military mobilization capacity, combat effectiveness and rapid reaction capability of a territory or even a country.

To a certain extent, the differences between the advantages and disadvantages of the military system are also very different.

Levi quickly flipped through the establishment proposed by Tiger, and although he did his homework well, he always felt that he still couldn't get rid of Corell's old routine:

That is, around the creation of heavy armor knights as the core, infantry and archers as a supplement, spellcasters as a side fire support force.

However, Xu was influenced by Levi's retro flow warfare group, which was originally changed as a fire support force to the main long-range force, but in some of the offensive formations, the caster support of some combat units was still retained.

For example, a level 4 Warlock or Mage can cast [Scorching Ray], as well as multiple Mage armor and various shield spells to protect themselves.

Equipped with a Magic Missile Wand and three Fireball Scrolls, you'll have a machine gun and rocket launcher that use spell ammo.

And equipping such a warlock is far more economical than equipping a heavily armored knight.

The only problem is the caster's endurance...

Often, after they've used up their spell slots, they're a bunch of valuable chickens.

It may work well in skirmishes, but it's never good for a big one.

Perhaps this is why the Chainsaw Sword is so popular with the Zelandia Warfare Wizards.

Their long mining career has given them a physique that is not inferior to that of some human knights, and after running out of spell slots, with the mage shield on their bodies, they are even more fierce than some ordinary knights who have fallen from their horses.

But Levi always felt that if it really reached the point where the noble mages were exhausted to the point of fighting with the enemy with bayonets, then there must be something wrong with the military structure and tactics.

Levi gave them costly chainsaw swords, the original purpose of which was only so that they could physically defend themselves in the event of an emergency, rather than allowing them to actually go up and fight the enemy with bayonets.

Priests can't afford to be so consumed.

And they are absolutely valuable wealth and strategic force in any force.

Just look at the dismal percentage of mages recruiting apprentices, it is so difficult to recruit new ones, not to mention the long cycle of training.

Under this military system, there are only a limited number of tactics that can be adopted, the most important and the most effective.

In addition to the fire support of the mage, the rest is nothing more than a heavy cavalry cluster chiseling charge, archers firing volleys, and a defensive form of fish scale shield array.

Among them, heavy cavalry has developed to the present, and it is a necessary structure for almost every powerful city-state.

At the same time, knights, the lowest aristocracy, are often the cornerstone of a country's aristocracy.

The early armies of the Dark Ages were just a group of unorganized soldiers on foot.

When heavy cavalry arose between the city-states, the best army was an unorganized group of knights.

However, when fighting, the knights would try to engage their enemies one-on-one, and the foot soldiers would be caught between the knights on both sides...

This method of warfare was actually very dangerous, because most of the early foot soldiers in the valley were improvised peasants with no combat training.

When the cavalry cut through each other during the transition of the two armies, it was even difficult for these peasants to distinguish between friend and foe, and if the casualties were too large or the situation was too chaotic, a large-scale rout would often occur.

Under such circumstances, even if the battle is won, the collection of the fleeing peasants is a headache for any commander.

Therefore, the tactics of heavy cavalry clusters to chisel and charge have become the inevitable development of the times.

As for the salvo of archers, it is very useful for defending and attacking cities, but if there is no infantry protection on the battlefield, it is easy to be destroyed by the formation of a rush.

In this regard, there is nothing more valuable than the legendary crossbowman like the drow elf Ekaria.

One man becomes an army, swinging arrows like rain.

One person is capable of long-range fire suppression of a city-state.

The point is that non-legends can barely deal with her, but if you let her humanoid rockets suppress her fire... There is almost no suspense in this battle.

Aikaria's legendary Noble Phantasm [Mountain Giant Crossbow] is now in his hands, but unfortunately he doesn't have a legendary crossbowman who can use it, not even a high-level archer...

As for the Fish Scale Shield Formation, that is, the kind used in the Gerthon Beast Tide Defense Battle and the New Camp against the Orcs, the performance in the two consecutive battles is remarkable.

In this formation, soldiers can form a dense shield formation with their shields held high at the expense of mobility, resisting cavalry charges and archer-saturated ranged attacks.

But this formation requires the soldiers to be side by side with each other, and all the soldiers adopt the tactics of defensive counterattack, and when encountering a large-scale spell attack, if there is no spell counter by the same spell group, it is easy to collapse.

Tiger is not without innovation, for example, because Levi went deep into the Griffin Mountains some time ago to catch a large number of griffins, Tiger suggested forming a group of griffon scouts similar to Drawing Water City.

In Levi's opinion, the Griffon Knight may indeed be capable of being a good scout, but... The cost performance is too low...

The mage has [Sky Dance] and does not need a mount.

If you really throw a hammer at the griffin knight, the load is a problem, you can't always have a space equipment for each person, the elven empire at its peak can't afford such luxurious equipment.

The words of the griffin archers ... The lethality is slightly lacking.

Let's put it aside for now, and go back and see if Iggy can develop some long-range weapons in a targeted manner.

In addition, the medical team system of the Priest and Zelandia's newly developed surgical emergency team can equip a low-level priest with an enchanted wand for minor injuries at an average cost of about a quarter of a set of full-body plate armor, which is the price of thirty Calamity Coins.

Such a priest can cast spells such as [Secondary Healing], [Blessing], [Entropy Light Shield], [Sanctuary], etc., so that he can safely travel back and forth in the battle queue and use his wand to rescue wounded soldiers.

This point made Levi's eyes shine, but the problem was just as prominent.

That's... Because they come from a dark place, the priest... Especially the priests of the righteous gods, there is a great lack of them!

Levi highlighted it here.

In the end, it is Tiger who raises the question of the selection of mounts for cavalry formation and the formation of special forces deep behind enemy lines.

He suggested that their dwarves could be given the opportunity to capture some mountain goats in the Griffon Mountains and domesticate them into mounts, which were well suited to their height, but the domestication was a long-term process.

As for the mount of the human cavalry, he even made a whimsical suggestion to domesticate the winter wolves unique to the Northlands.

Although the endurance of the winter wolf is slightly inferior to that of horses, the explosive power of short-distance charges is much stronger than that of horses.

They also have strong melee combat capabilities and the ability to inflict extensive damage, allowing them to quickly break through enemy defenses and allow slower-moving follow-up units to continue their gains.

But domestication is even more problematic, and the white-eyed wolves that can't be raised in the north are talking about them.

If you use the [Animal Companion Oath Bond] scroll, the cost is too high.

The orc's frost wolf is a good choice, but it's an orc's baby bump, so you can only think about it.

As for the formation of special forces, he actually proposed to form a group of infiltration troops dominated by bards, and a team of level 4 bards can easily infiltrate behind enemy lines by using spells such as [Stealth Technique] and [Transfiguration Technique], with bluffing, disguise and negotiation.

Once in the enemy's rear, they can use spells such as [Detect Thoughts] and [Hints] to gather intelligence, and then use the [Animal Messenger] spell to quickly transmit the information back to their headquarters.

Seeing this, Levi shook his head and smiled slightly, and crossed it out directly.

Tiger clearly doesn't know enough about Remlu's army of slimes.

Now with Kaka's centering coordination, the problem of a slime's lack of IQ when acting alone can be solved by artificial intelligence carpet exploration, although it is still a little stupid, but it is much better than letting a group of slimes with no IQ to speak of chaotic free movement.

With this group of special infiltration units that can go deep behind enemy lines and are not afraid of death, they can also learn what the harpists do.

"It's still a lot of problems..."

Levi kept tapping his fingers on the table, thought about it, and said in his mind:

"Kaka, let Igg, Tiger, Fischer, and Holz come to see me. ”

"Follow your will, Masta. ”

A voice sounded like a machine without the slightest emotion.

Hearing this, Levi knew that this unreliable artificial intelligence had begun to continue its endless database repair business.

Why can't I see the head, no way, the hardware of the processor is not even better...

"Do you want to consider giving that master brain to Iron Molten Castle..."

As soon as Levi had this idea, he remembered that when he was in the power furnace of the Nether Magic Ship, the name seemed to be called epilepsy paralysis... Well, the scene of Carlos's psionic monster using rain-like psionic abilities, arcane and black dragon rotten old aunt can't help but tremble instinctively.

Such a powerful spirit-absorbing monster can only look for an opportunity to defect before facing the will of the race that cannot be changed.

Levi may be able to use the [Incarnation of Karthus] to forcibly pull some newcomers to his own level, and then try to kill the other party in seconds with the domineering physique and dragon breath of a dragon.

But if you come across an archon who might be much more powerful than that Psion...

Faced with that mysterious and difficult psionic ability, Levi thought that he would most likely overturn directly.

Roll over in front of other enemies, and have a chance to turn the tables, once you are enslaved by the spirit absorbing monster with spiritual energy, then everything is really over...

Just as all kinds of serious or absurd thoughts were surging in Levi's sleepy mind, Iggy, Tiger, Fischer, and Holtz also arrived one after another and sat down at Levi's motion.

Levi's style of doing things has always been simple and rude to the point, he put down the "First Draft of the New Army Establishment of Zeellandia" that Tiger had annotated in red ink, looked around at everyone and said:

"I just read Tiger's first draft of the new army formation, a few questions, brainstorming. ”

Several people bowed their heads in understanding.

"First of all, the domestication of heavy cavalry mounts, whether it is an alpine goat, an underground monitor lizard, or a winter wolf, is a long process and a problem. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Iggy: "I have an idea, Iggy, can you build a single alchemy vehicle between their specifications based on the existing steam locomotives and self-propelled bicycles, preferably powered by magic power, lifting the knight forward, and the name can be called a motorcycle." ”

Iggy seemed to have been prepared for this, and responded directly: "Your Majesty Tiberius, I can roughly understand your thoughts, the alchemical equipment you are referring to is not too difficult for us at present, at most it is a matter of accuracy, which may lead to its large and cumbersome specifications.

"The fundamental problem is still in the supply of magic energy, after eight years of research and exploration of the magic technology with the Mither energy core as the energy core in the Nether era, we have preliminarily realized the recovery of the magic energy supply network, but both the energy level and the energy supply efficiency are far from being compared with the Nether era, and the node laying of the magic network will also be a long process.

"So, I'm going to let the mage group try to develop a magic crystal that can store energy according to your needs, so that the alchemy motorcycle rider can break away from the magic power supply network and carry out a long-distance attack.

"We'll need some time, though. ”

Levi nodded: "On the road of magic research, whether it is efficiency or results, it is more reliable than the long domestication after all, and I look forward to your research results." ”

As he spoke, he tapped his index finger on the table and said, "Next question, regarding long-range weapons, do you have any achievements or research intentions in the mage group, for example, an upgraded version of the fucking thing like the musket?"
