Chapter 48: The Frankish War
They don't all have neat uniforms, but they all have a fierce temperament.
Steam guns are not convenient for small mercenaries in many cases.
Most of the time, mercenaries fight as stormtroopers.
But it is often impossible for them to be equipped with real stormtrooper gear, a full set of protective armor and steam chainsaw knives. And usually half-body armor, and cold weapons.
The large mercenary group, because it has sufficient logistics support forces, has steam guns, and steam chainsaw knives and other things.
But when Yin Shengzhi saw them, he found that these people were quite powerful.
In fact, even those adventurers who had just clashed with the Tian Yuan Sect were not under the skills of ordinary stormtroopers.
"No wonder these mercenaries are so popular in the midst of war. Either side likes to hire mercenaries......"
Regardless of their tactical literacy, most of them were qualified stormtroopers.
If it's a large mercenary group, you can even perform some missions independently.
Although they are not needed when the large army is fighting, these mercenary groups are very useful behind enemy lines, or at any special time!
"This time we were hired by our employers to help the Frankish side in the war ......"
What Bernard said was all on the surface.
When Yin Shengzhi was studying in Breis, he had a large overseas benefactor at that time, and hired mercenary adventurers to help Durand in the war.
Many of these financiers are in emotional relationships.
The people of the Adelan or Flemish kingdoms, or even the Valaedin Empire, were directly related to the Durants.
However, there are some big countries in Romania that contribute money and effort behind the scenes.
The thing that pulls the boss back is obviously what everyone is willing to do.
Therefore, how many of these funds and mercenaries were secretly sent by the above three countries, and even by Lievassel and Ivan Shaki, it is very uncertain.
For example, Yin Shengzhi and others are obviously Arliga's black hands.
Even Arliga, who is thousands of miles away, doesn't know that there is a black hand here, not to mention other countries.
In fact, Yin Shengzhi bets that Alliga's black hand is definitely not just such a team......
Bernard summoned all the mercenaries, except for those standing guard, to introduce Yin Shengzhi to them, and announced that Yin Shengzhi would join the mercenary group.
When the words came out, all the mercenaries up and down showed surprise and cheered.
Just kidding, no matter how unruly the mercenaries are, they all know how powerful the mages are, and with the addition of a mage, at least their combat effectiveness can be doubled.
In fact, there are some large mercenary groups that will invite mages.
It's just that they thought that their mercenary group had no chance. To tell the truth, with the size of their mercenary group, it is not large, at most it is a medium-sized mercenary group.
A truly large mercenary group, even with tens of thousands of people, can almost be said to be more powerful than a small country!
Yin Shengzhi smiled slightly in satisfaction, this was one of the reasons why he agreed to come to Frank by Alliga.
That is to personally lead troops to the battlefield......
Although he has always claimed to be a war mage, he is obviously single, and Yin Shengzhi, a war mage, is not very qualified.
"Now that you're here, Master Vic, we'll set out tomorrow for St. Hollenburg in Brown. ”
"No, in three days, we'll set off again. Yin Shengzhi: "In the past three days, I want to run in with the mercenaries, so that I can cooperate with each other!"
Listening to Yin Shengzhi's words, a mercenary leader named Henry asked cautiously, "Dare to ask the respected mage, are you a war mage?"
Yin Shengzhi nodded slightly, and the surrounding area suddenly burst into laughter, shaking the roof tiles.
If mages are more common and can play a big role in military operations, then war mages are the masters of war.
Even low-level mages, in skirmishes, are the same!
And their mercenaries, in general, perform this kind of task.
And the fact that a war mage actually appeared in this small broken mercenary group with dignity was indeed beyond the expectations of all mercenaries!
"I've already told you that I've asked Mage Vic to come to your aid. I was also a powerful mercenary back then, and I was a good partner with Mage Vic, don't you believe it, but now you see it?" Bernard triumphant.
The mercenaries around cheered.
Yin Shengzhi said lightly: "Okay, time is running out." Three days was a very tight time, we can't waste anything, now we have to learn the initial cooperation......"
Many mercenaries were excited and awe-inspiring. Being able to fight with war mages, if nothing else, is enough for you to brag about for a lifetime!
Of course, more importantly, with the presence of war mages, on the battlefield, if they save their lives, the chances of coming back alive are twice as great.
Then, according to Yin Shengzhi's request, these mercenaries began to act.
Although Yin Shengzhi has not experienced the battlefield, he graduated from a military academy and has basic military qualities.
In addition, he has been constantly studying the combat system of war mages over the years, so at this time, it may not be enough for Yin Shengzhi to organize a large-scale legion battle, but it is not difficult to organize a small team of several hundred people.
The only trouble is that this mercenary group was formed temporarily, and although it has been trained for a while, the cooperation is not too good.
It's even more difficult to fight with the mage.
However, after three days of high-intensity training, although these mercenaries complained bitterly, the basic cooperation had already been taken.
And taking advantage of these three days, Yin Shengzhi not only completely replenished the consumed mana.
Moreover, some of the wizarding knowledge and methods obtained in the last Xenodimensional space have also undergone some preliminary digestion.
If possible, Yin Shengzhi really wanted to find a place to hide, retreat for a few months, and thoroughly digest these gains.
Unfortunately, three days later, they were already on their way.
Fort St. Hollen was a military fortress located behind the Landridge, with dozens of various steam cannons lined with thick concrete walls.
In the sky, there are many airships cruising at all times, coupled with tens of thousands of trained militia, etc., making this fortress full of a solemn atmosphere.
The original standing army of Derange was not large, only tens of thousands. But with the invasion of the Kingdom of Alfred, almost all of the young men of Delands joined the militia.
So much so that in a short period of time, Delange's military strength had swelled to about 150,000.
