Chapter 825: The arrangement of the lords and the current situation
Lei Xiao heard the sound and immediately opened the private message interface.
After some inspection, Lei Xiao noticed.
It neatly lists the status of dozens of lords according to talent names, talent introductions, classes, mansion levels, number of subordinates, and other basic contents.
Among them, there are many names that even Lei Xiao has heard of, and they can indeed be called outstanding talents.
On the other hand, although their qualifications are mediocre, they all possess unique special talents or combat talents.
In addition, Lei Xiao also noticed further.
Although these lords have their own characteristics, apart from combat talents, there are almost zero aspects that can be truly converted into hard power, so the overall level of the mansion is extremely limited.
Of course, Lei Xiao doesn't value this. Anyway, the combined strength of everyone is not even a fraction of Lei Xiao's.
"I didn't expect that there would be so many outstanding lords around me. It really makes me feel confident."
"As long as I have the vigorous research and development of these lords' talents, plus the assistance of my subordinates and other native forces, why should I worry about not being able to build a powerful weapon like a magic tank?"
After closing the private message interface, Lei Xiao's face was filled with joy.
Lei Xiao did not hesitate and immediately said to Qin Qian: "I am very satisfied with these candidates. I will work out detailed reward rules later. As long as the lords make contributions, I will give massive rewards."
"At the same time, I will also dedicate a large amount of funds and resources, and dispatch various native talents such as elite magicians, blacksmiths, magic craftsmen, and alchemists to provide full assistance."
"I believe that what others can do, we Daxia Lords can also do, and will do better. Our rich accumulation and historical heritage are definitely not comparable to those of the nouveau riche."
Lei Xiao nodded to Qin Qian and continued: "What's more, I will provide the best scientific research environment and the most powerful support."
"Great! With the words of Elder Xiaoshen, no one can stop us from moving forward!"
Qin Qian's fair face was full of yearning, and she couldn't help but said with joy: "Let's be honest with Mr. Xiaoshen, everyone is already gearing up!"
While excited, Qin Qian regained her composure and reported again: "Brother Xiaoshen, regarding the specific planning and construction of Ter Town, I have decided to temporarily establish three major areas: scientific research, agriculture, and management."
"In addition, there are currently three development directions."
"The first is the Lord Logistics Network that I mentioned before."
"Second, it is agricultural improvement and research. After all, this world has unique magical plants. If it can be combined with modern farming methods, it will be able to greatly increase production and reduce the occupation of human resources."
"Third, what Elder Xiaoshen emphasized is that regarding the research and development of magic weapons, according to everyone's current views, this not only includes the research of large equipment such as magic tanks, but also other small equipment."
Speaking of this, Qin Qian shook her head helplessly: "Unfortunately, as far as I know, in this world of swords and magic, there are no raw materials needed to make gunpowder, so everyone considers steam power and magic power.
A combination of this, or simply using magic as a driving force from a modern scientific perspective.”
"It's a bit interesting, because with the arrival of us lords from other worlds, it seems that the world is going to undergo a huge change."
After listening to Qin Qian's words, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a look of expectation on his face.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that as the strength became stronger, the strong ones were like personal destruction machines, capable of turning everything upside down.
But there are only a few strong ones after all, and their own energy is limited and they cannot take care of every corner of this vast land, so what they need to do is to improve the basic combat power of all soldiers.
And if these weapons can be developed, they will undoubtedly be able to turn their ideas into reality!
"Elder Xiaoshen, I will write a detailed report later to explain the current projects and development status, and attach the leaders and researchers of each project."
Qin Qian's clear and crisp voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again.
"But there is one thing that Elder Xiaoshen needs to know. Although everyone has knowledge that is beyond this era, there are no corresponding supporting facilities and raw materials here. Everything has to be started from scratch."
"Furthermore, no one has ever tried to combine magic and technology before. We have to start experiments from various basic theories, so we ask Mr. Xiaoshen to give us a certain amount of research time."
Qin Qian's fair face began to look more formal, and she added: "But please rest assured, Elder Xiaoshen, our knowledge and ideas will never lose to the lords of other countries, and our perseverance is confident that we can defeat anyone.
There will be results as soon as possible!”
"Then I can rest assured. You can handle all other details with your full authority. I don't have time to watch your process. All I want to see is the result."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and his voice began to become serious: "In addition, in addition to your management, I will also establish a separate supervision mechanism and inspection mechanism. I will never allow anyone to waste resources and make mistakes."
"Once I find out, I will give you the most severe punishment, because it is not only about myself, but also about the life and death of each of you."
Having said this, Lei Xiao's solemn eyes glanced at Qin Qian, Feng Ling and Jiang Hao in front of him, and continued: "Remember, there is not much time left for us."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Xiaoshen, we will definitely go all out!"
The three lords also had serious expressions on their faces and nodded heavily towards Lei Xiao.
"Very good, then start implementing it immediately. I will put in place the supporting talents and resources for the relevant native forces as soon as possible."
Lei Xiao waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to go about their business.
After Qin Qian and others respectfully resigned, Lei Xiao called Orr, Hodder, and Benson who had been standing beside him to come to him and began to listen to the three people's city defense report.
As the top priority of the upcoming life-and-death battle, the three legions of Fanyin, Gelin and Luolong led by these three people are currently stationed in Wangxing City.
At the same time, these three legions are also the most elite main legions under Lei Xiao's command.
Lei Xiao learned about it through the introduction of Orr, who was the commander-in-chief of Wangxing City.
Currently, these three main armies are stepping up training and strengthening city defenses, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
While listening to the report, Lei Xiao noticed.
Whether it was Al, who was the great wind magician, Hodder, who was the commander of the knights, or Benson, who was a madman on the battlefield, everyone's face was filled with excitement.
Facing the mighty and powerful alliance of ten times the princes, it seems that Caroline's 60,000 Northern Territory Army rushed to the rescue has obviously given the three of them a lot of confidence.
"Very good. With the three of you here taking charge, Wangxing City will be impregnable."
After listening to Orr's report, Lei Xiao briefly boosted his morale and then began to contact commanders and subordinates from various places to inquire about the movements of other legions.
Through the commanders' reports, Lei Xiao learned.
According to the scheduled plan, five of the ten new recruit legions with veterans as the backbone have been assembled and are heading towards Wangxing City.
The commanders of these five recruit legions are Tina, the leader of the Blue Rose Knights, Lain, the leader of the Broken Blade Knights, Nate, the commander of the garrison of Magnet Town, Ned, the deputy of the mayor of Magnet Town, and Munn, the former mayor of Mailan Town.
Five people.
The other five new recruit legions will set off today. The commanders are Hod's tiger girl Lisha, the increasingly stable Reese, the cavalry commander of Mailan Town Bran, the infantry commander of Mailan Town Maier, and
Xuan Yue, the current Lord of Mailan City.
In addition, the last main legion, which was mainly composed of the Blue Cold Fort garrison and integrated some of our veterans from the mountain fortress, also headed towards Stargazing City under the leadership of Marquis Rose.
And the five brigades of special forces of the Moon Wolf Clan led by Bolen are already within a few feet of Wangxing City.
"That is to say, there are already five new legions, one main legion, and a special force, and they are moving towards Wangxing City according to the predetermined plan?"
"The other five new recruit legions will set off within today."
After hearing the reports from his subordinates, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
In this way, he has 14 legions and 1 special force that he can mobilize.
"By the way, what's the situation with the three surrendered legions?"
Lei Xiao sipped the tea and asked again.
Through the following report, Lei Xiao learned more.
With the blessing of a series of kindnesses, just as he expected, after returning to their respective cities, the soldiers of the three surrender legions were indeed grateful to Ariel and themselves, and were willing to fight for themselves.
However, since many soldiers have just returned, the assembly speed will be relatively slow.
However, Lei Xiao specifically left behind Bert and Ju Bai, the two most famous kingdom generals among the soldiers, as well as well-known commanders such as Qing Shu in Princess Ariel's guard, who would soon be in place.
"Very good, then according to the scheduled plan, all 17 legions and 1 special force will be in place."
"Even if we don't include the 6 legions in Caroline's hands as a trump card, the apparent strength of the enemy and ourselves can still reach 30:17+1, which is not too disparate."
"Although the 10 newly formed legions in my hand are weak in combat strength, they cannot compete with the opponent's legion in terms of overall strength or number of strong men."
"But at least we won't be too far behind our opponents in terms of momentum. This is enough to keep the morale of the soldiers at a certain level and not collapse at the first touch."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
In addition, he also holds three powers in his hands.
One is the two goblin legions led by Hongshi, who are guarding the Luolong City leading to the outside world.
The other is a mercenary army composed of the Dragon Teeth mercenary group led by Randall as the core, plus Donna's Red Arrow Town mercenary force.
This force has reached the size of two legions, and under its own orders, it has marched towards the mountain fortress to assist Bai Lao in his defense.
As for the last one, it is naturally the direct force of the territory.
"Okay, just follow the plan. In three days, the decisive battle will begin."
Lei Xiao's words ended here, and he closed his words.
Putting down the still warm tea cup, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath.
From negotiating with Teresa to retreat from the Holy Night Army, to making an alliance with Caroline, to pursuing the lost secret treasure of the Loren royal family, he has allowed the seeds of victory that have not yet emerged to take root.
But this is just the initial preparation. Whether this seed of hope can truly grow into a towering tree and then break away the thick clouds hanging above our heads is the most important thing next.
"Currently, the forces I know about the opponent include, in addition to the Black Abyss Brotherhood that supports the second prince, there is also the mysterious Black Duke who supports the eldest prince. These two are the leaders of this army."
"Although I don't know if the connection between the two is close, what is certain is that since the two have decided to join forces to deal with me, it will be difficult for them to turn against each other before destroying me."
"In other words, the previous alienation strategy that caused the two vanguard armies to fight each other will not be effective again."
Lei Xiao took the refilled tea cup from Ariel, and his brain began to work rapidly.
"However, it is also certain that whether it is the eldest prince or the second prince, they are still essentially antagonistic, and this has not changed."
"This means that if we consider it from the standpoint of either side, their top priority strategy must be to deal with me while consuming the other party's strength as much as possible."
"In other words, no matter how the two play tricks, the most likely direction of action must be to use each other's strength to deal with me first, laying the foundation for the mutual beating after destroying me."
"Using this, I might be able to achieve unexpected gains."
Lei Xiao felt the warmth brought by the teacup and nodded thoughtfully.
"In addition, the fourth prince who keeps a low profile has never fought against me. I wonder what kind of power is behind this guy? Who is the true face of the Black Duke?"
"That's all. As long as we can successfully overcome this difficulty, everything will soon be cleared of clouds and clear skies."
Lei Xiao thought this while drinking all the tea in the cup.
After that, Lei Xiao, accompanied by Ariel, Al and others, carefully inspected the topography of Stargazing City and Stargazing Corridor again.
For a war, the importance of terrain is naturally self-evident.
During this process, Lei Xiao also put himself in his shoes and deduced some of the opponent's possible killer moves and formations with his subordinates, making final preparations for the upcoming decisive battle.
It wasn't until night fell that the group of people returned to Wangxing City in a dusty journey.
Just when Lei Xiao had just eaten some light food and was about to ask about the situation of finding the "Wandering Gate".
The prompt sound of rapid recitation reached Lei Xiao's ears first.
After the call was connected, Sarah's clear tone rang with excitement.
"For your information, Lord Lord, my subordinates and others have found traces of the "Wandering Gate"!"
