In the month of Harvest (September), a regiment-level formation of 500 elves arrived at Nabira Island. In terms of command, the final agreement reached was: Annien was the regiment commander, and Paliya was the deputy regiment commander as a 13th-level priest. Paliya was born in a famous elves family, with a huge mother's family and was quite outstanding, so she could suppress the elves warriors and thus became Annien's commander. As the specific combat commander of the elves, Shalus, a 450-year-old elves, who is proficient in specific combat.
When a large group of elves came to the island, they were arranged to live near the Elf Temple. However, Shalus and his group arrived on a hill with Paliya - a hill covered with jungle and grass. At this time, it was already a mess, with hundreds of human warriors constantly training on it.
After three years of training, human soldiers have transformed into regular soldiers, but at this time, they are re-accustomed to their bodies - this is because after obtaining potions and magic, their physique and strength have been greatly improved, but this improvement is unnatural. Therefore, human soldiers must adapt to new bodies and new neural reactions through strict practice.
Annien nodded to the advanced elves coming, and then concentrated on training and exercises on the hills. His face was a little pale, but he was very in good spirits. For a whole month, there were 500 people on the island, and the potion and magic were used together. Even if there was a magic circle, he could transform ten soldiers at a time. It took Annien 50 magic times, almost draining him. However, the reward was also very huge, that is, he was more proficient and faster in casting spells. At the same time, his mage level also reached the tenth level and began to advance to the eleventh level. It can be said that he had received considerable rewards.
Master Stiel's plan is so complete, but once he goes to the training ground for practice, problems immediately arise, especially the composite armor used by the giant shield and heavy infantry and the Chinese armor warriors, weighing almost 15-20 kilograms. Such armor cannot be worn by level 4 to level 5 warriors. It must rely on servants. Moreover, although such armor has high defense, it cannot walk more than 1,000 meters when wearing it, and the combat time cannot exceed half an hour, otherwise you will have no physical strength.
After summarizing it up, if such heavy armor is to be involved in long-distance battles, it is obviously unqualified.
Moreover, war horses are also a problem. Such heavy armor must be used, but due to the limit of productivity, a war horse is therefore six times the price of a cow. Many horses seem to be body-building, but can only be used for general riding and traveling, and should not be used in complex, changeable and chaotic battlefields.
Even if you are rich in your territory now, you cannot afford to buy 500 war horses in a short time, let alone you cannot buy them at all - the breed and family of war horses. They are highly valued and are all confidential and strategic industries of the nobles.
If this kind of joint protection of iron armor, helmets, weapons, vests and other types of joint protection also appeared in the Middle Ages on Earth, but it is obvious that this makes the knight's combat appear very bulky, and the running speed and endurance are greatly reduced - this indicates that the Knight group that has lost its power and flexibility has reached its end. Sure enough, there is not much time. Under the power of gunpowder, the knights withdrew from the stage of history - there is no gunpowder in this world, but with magic, the effect is the same.
However, in this world, the strength of warriors has also increased significantly, so the weight-bearing capacity of the human body has also increased. However, if you want to wear such bulky armor flexibly, you can exert the minimum maneuver and flexibility. You must have a class of level 6 warriors or above.
He quietly looked at the limited number of Level 6 warriors running and fighting on the hills wearing heavy armor. Especially the Ninth Warrior Bannami, who was extremely flexible. He fully utilized such armor combat power, Annien couldn't help but sigh and said to Stiel who came out to observe the actual effect: "It seems that such armor is not suitable for level 6 warriors, especially long-distance combat and fast marching. Therefore, except for a few trainee knights and knights, this kind of armor is not used. The twenty sets of armor produced have met the needs, so let's seal it down below!"
After observing the actual effect, Stille nodded: "It seems that they can only use light armor."
At this moment, Banami issued an order. The troops who were originally practicing rehearsals on the hills were immediately divided into twenty teams of ten people and gathered together in an orderly manner. No matter what, after three years of training, one military discipline was still in place.
At this time, Shalus, who had come up and had been silent by Annien for a long time, carefully observed the troops below, and then said in a deep voice: "Yeah, it's not bad."
Even if the elves have a long time to slowly train themselves, ordinary elf warriors stay at level 5. This is the difference in the innate physique of the elves. Therefore, elves are more suitable for the profession of magicians or chanting poets. However, if the elves break through level 6 and begin to escape from the constraints of the innate physical texture, the elves with a long life will also have a high proportion of advanced warriors. Therefore, the elves do not lack advanced warriors.
Shalus himself is a level 14 warrior, just one step away from the advanced warrior, but his general subordinates are just elf warriors of level 4 to 5. Therefore, the human army in front of him is almost at level 4 to 5. There is a little gap in personal combat, but the group discipline seems to be no less, and the overall strength is almost equal to the same number of elf troops without magicians. Therefore, this experienced warrior immediately put aside his contempt and attached importance to Annien.
Strength is the most important no matter when. Annien spent a huge price to forcibly spawn these soldiers, which really immediately took effect.
"According to the training plan, start the magic exercise!" Annien said.
"yes!"
A group of magic apprentices, with a total of about twelve people, began to use a large number of low-level scrolls to attack the team. In fact, wearing armor and taking into account the safety of not hitting the dead. Therefore, the soldiers will not suffer much damage, and general damage will naturally be treated by the priests.
"Sorry, I have to control it now." Annien apologized to the people around him, and then he went down. Depending on the situation, many soldiers had some experience in fighting magic and knew when and what method to use. Sure enough, not long after, a fireball technique was bombed. This fireball technique that had deliberately weakened the lowest power. Although the range of the explosion did not decrease, the lethality was obviously different. All soldiers in this near-actual combat experience how to effectively avoid and reduce the damage of magic.
Like on Earth, soldiers with cold weapons who have never seen muskets and cannons will have great fears when they first encounter them. The same is true for soldiers who encounter magic for the first time during training, but once they have overcome this fear, they can naturally find ways to avoid and reduce the damage of magic.
For example, this is how it is. The team that dispersed in a certain space immediately lie on the ground, allowing the explosive hot air flow to fly over the sky to reduce damage.
"Spiderweb!" Annon was also experimenting with the practical scope of his magic in combat.
"Miss Pariya, is that what he trained?" Shalus asked.
"Yes. Lord Shalus."
"It's a great method, but it's a bit expensive." Shalus commented that although low-level scrolls are not expensive, they are also considered as gold coins. It seems a bit extravagant to waste on these warriors.
"No matter how you spend money, it is better to let them die on the battlefield because they are not prepared. That's what Annien said." Pariya smiled: "This kind of concept of valuing goodness in the lives of soldiers should be encouraged!"
In this era, no matter which race, ordinary soldiers are consumables, and only Annien would spend so much money to train them and increase their survival power. Therefore, this is undoubtedly a concept and practice of worshipping goodness.
"And, in this kind of practical combat, both the magic apprentices and those low-level priests have achieved rapid growth. After a month of training, our priest level has not yet seen a significant improvement, but other aspects have grown significantly, especially in terms of using divine arts. As the high priest of this temple, I am very satisfied to see their growth, and they have not yet advanced."
"It's true." Shalus turned his gaze to the crowd on the hills, where the elves priests and human soldiers were joining each other. They were skillfully using some low-level earth magic to comfort the soldiers who were hurt during the exercise. After watching for a while, he said thoughtfully.
Before Annon went to the battlefield, the elves and human coalition forces had a half-year running-in period. I originally wanted to try it out, but seeing the current situation, as a qualified and experienced soldier and commander, he immediately understood the meaning. Shalus nodded and said, "Let's rest today, and tomorrow morning, I hope to be able to run-in immediately."
"This is our purpose here, isn't it? The elves cannot win with their own strength. They must fight with humans, or in other words, with humans in the alliance with us. Therefore, the meaning of my high priests and the group is not limited to the current combat cooperation, but is also the beginning of a large-scale cooperation between humans and elves, and an important experience for future reference." Paliya whispered: "So, I hope you can understand this, try to cooperate with each other's running-in, and find out all the experiences and problems, record and solve them. This is more important than the gains and losses of a battle."
Hearing such words, he was stunned for a moment, but he came back to his senses very briefly. Shalus turned around and stared at the clear and deep eyes of the most beautiful woman in the clan. He nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I understand."
In the afternoon, Shalus was still very interested in observing, but of course Annien could not do this. He still had countless things to do, especially counting the results of the sea and land transactions this month.
Sure enough, when I walked into a room, under the supervision of Riss, many maids were sorting out the transaction of Haizhu, and an old man was checking the pearls.
"Lord." Seeing Annin come in, everyone saluted, Annin hurriedly said to the old man: "Mr. Reka, you don't have to salute anymore. Are you still comfortable in the territory?"
"Very good, Lord Lord, I'm very grateful for your hospitality." Reka nodded: "Especially your magic potion. It made me several years younger."
"In this way, I'll be relieved." The Reca, an expert in aquatic products, especially pearls, was specially invited. Annien generously gave him fifty acres of land and a good wooden house, and was very courteous to him. In fact, Annien's respect for scholars has been known to many people and has become famous, but this is actually the legacy that Annien has obtained on the earth: respecting the virtuous and respecting scholars.
"Then, can you please introduce the value of this batch of pearls?"
"Well, pearls should generally be observed in terms of luster, size, shape, texture, etc. Among these points, the luster of pearls is the most important. The pearls are bright and radiant, and the brilliance is the best. If there is no luster, even if the individual is very large, it will not be of much value - who will wear pearls without luster?"
"Yeah, it's true, it's true." Annen agreed with the expert's opinion.
"So, luster is the first element in evaluating the value of pearls. Secondly, the shape must be regular, generally round is the best, and there is quality. This refers to the structure and surface characteristics of the pearl. It is extremely rare to have pearls that have no flaws at all. If there are some scratches, pits on the pearls, etc. on the surface will affect the value of the pearls, you should pay attention to it. Their most important job is to choose from these two aspects."
"The quality of this batch of pearls is quite good. According to the standards, they are all high-quality pearls worth more than 100 gold coins, especially these big sea beads that are as big as fist. It can be said that they are worth more than a thousand gold coins, not to mention that there are as many as thousands! However, the color also has a considerable relationship. Even pearls of the same level have a great impact on price. Black pearls are often worth a high value. Of course, the colors of pearls that all countries like in the mainland are different, so they must be carefully classified and processed."
Speaking of Pearl, the old man immediately talked.
"Then, how should you deal with this batch of pearls?" Annin said inquiring advice.
"This batch of pearls, yes, can be divided into several qualities, as big as fists, and has a very good luster. It has no flaws and can be sold directly to the nobles and royal families of various countries, with prices ranging from about 3,000 to 5,000 gold coins."
"The second batch is also of good quality. It can be sold for about 500 gold coins per unit, but I don't recommend you sell it like this. If it can be processed into a pearl necklace, the value will be twice as high, and it is also a treasure that the nobles like."
"As for this batch, due to its flaws in color and surface, and although its quality is still very good, it can only serve as jewelry for ordinary little nobles and merchants, with a value of about 150 to 300 gold coins."
"There are some that can only be used as medicine or your magical materials, and there is no need to sell them."
"Can you calculate the overall value?" Annin asked again.
"It's about 120,000 gold coins." Reka thought for a while and replied.
"What about this batch of corals?"
"Coral is an ornamental thing and it won't be too expensive, but this batch has a large amount, and it can also have about 20,000 gold coins."
Hearing such numbers, Riss couldn't help but shake her hand. She was responsible for this matter. Of course she knew that the steel weapons and tools exchanged for the sea clan this time were worth only 15,000 gold coins, and the profit was really high. The most admirable thing was that these steel weapons would rot in the sea water and would not be used in a few years.
Therefore, this is a long-term business, but then again, pearls and corals are not very valuable to fishmen, and they are similar to stones on the ground, but they also feel that they have made a profit if they can be exchanged for precious weapons in the sea.
This is actually an economic system with different values.
"Okay, Rise, you and Reka deal with this matter together, and you will leave it all to you. By the end of the year, just report it."
"Yes, Lord." Riss replied in a low voice, watching him leave.
However, the most critical part of this trade was not here, but a few rocks. When it came to the Mage Tower, Master Stiel was already studying it.
"Master Stiel, have you confirmed it is Mithril?"
"Yes, it's confirmed. Look at it, there is silver light shining without light reflection. This is the characteristic of Misilian. Among these rocks, the hidden Misilian may reach as much as 1 kilogram, and it's more than enough to create a magic light armor."
The so-called mitril silver is more than twice as light as iron, but it is as hard as iron. But the most important thing is that it has powerful magical properties, which can minimize the resistance of metal to magic and counteract the damage caused by those magical energy.
"I have some pure gold here. If I can combine these two types, I believe it can improve performance." Master Stiel continued: "If I combine my newly discovered magical metal refining, I believe that I can definitely create a very good work."
The so-called pure gold is a special metal that specifically improves the quality of weapons or armor.
Annien was immediately moved by an armor with a very low impact on magic and a strong defensive force. If he could wear such an armor, he would have a very high chance of survival in battle. Suddenly, he issued an order: "Intellectual brain, design an armor that is strengthened by all the magical means you can use at present."
However, he smiled at Master Stiel: "Yes, Master Stiel, which 0.6 kilogram of mitral is? Can you build a light armor?"
"It's OK, but it must be fully utilized."
"Well, there is still 0.4 kilograms of mitral, which must be returned to others. The transaction is credibility. In this regard, I have taken advantage of it."
The intelligent brain is now running quite fast. In just a few minutes of talking, more than a dozen armor models have been calculated, with various styles and various performance biases, each of which is exquisite.
