Chapter 226: Night Attack (Part 2)
The bear shook his huge body and came to Salin. He didn't feel awe of the mage, so he sat down and next to Salin.
"I know you." Zhuo Xiong smiled.
"I know you too." Salin also smiled, and there was a feeling of being close in Zhuo Xiong's eyes. This big man, apart from his muscles, was actually a good match for people. As long as you don't compete with him.
"I want to compete with your female bodyguard with her once." Zhuo Xiong said seriously.
"Oh? No, you have made great progress, but you are not her opponent." Salin did not go around the corner, and Shika gained some of the abilities of the combat priest. It may not be powerful for the magician, but it is not worse than that of the magician in terms of mental attack. Even in terms of strength, Shika will suppress the bear now.
When two people compete, even if they don’t use weapons, Shika can easily let the strongman, Feng Zhuo Bear, go at will.
"Ah?" Bao Xiong was a little disappointed. He didn't think that Salin was lying to him. The princess said that Salin was a person who could be trusted.
"Don't compare the heights between your own people. There will be attacks tonight. If you have to compare, it depends on who will solve the problem."
"You think so too? I feel restless and feel that there will be danger." The bear said that Salin was stunned. This person who had only practiced sword energy for a few years actually had telepathy that only the sword saint had.
That was an intuition that was extremely keen to danger. Zhu Xiong couldn't analyze and judge, but he could know in advance that something might happen tonight.
For people with this ability, judgments will be wrong, but intuition will not be wrong. It is said that at the level of the Golden Sword Saint, even in battle, you can avoid fatal dangers at any time.
This is equivalent to a magician calculating at a speed of hundreds of times at any time using the Figaro formula. This ability is envied by the magician.
After absorbing the abilities in the goddess necklace, Salin can also calculate many dangers, but it is definitely much slower than intuition. When used in combat, it can only be used to calculate objects.
Moreover, this kind of calculation is quite mentally consuming. If an ordinary great magician calculates it once, he will probably have to meditate before he can recover.
The spiritual power of the bear must be very special. If he did not learn swordsmanship but practiced magic, he would definitely achieve something. Destiny is a very strange thing. No matter how good a person's talent is, if he doesn't have the chance, he will be a mediocre life and do nothing. If he hadn't met Rex and his party, the bear would still be a chef in the Holy Rock City Army.
Although he is still a chef now, his status is different. Rex protects him and hires a teacher to teach him sword skills.
"Mr. Salin, wait." The bear suddenly stood up again, turned around and took another weapon from the carriage, put it on the ground, and sat next to Salin.
This is a long sword, very long, with a blade of about three meters. Even if a person like Raven Bear is more than two meters tall, it seems abrupt.
"Single-blade horse-slashing sword!" Salin also recognized the murder weapon when he saw the black long sword.
The Fourth Dynasty once had an army of hundreds of people, all holding single-blade slashing horse swords. This army of hundreds of people specializes in breaking the iron cavalry charge. No matter how powerful the cavalry is, a hundred huge warriors standing there with single-blade slashing horse swords can easily block it and smash the cavalry's charge.
Salin was surprised that this single-blade horse-slashing sword was an ancient object and definitely something left by the Fourth Dynasty.
This weapon weighs about 500 kilograms, and ordinary people can't pick it up at all, let alone killing the enemy with wielding. This is a weapon made by Shen Xing Iron, and some mitral was added to reduce the weight.
Even Salin felt much more at ease when the enemy put this weapon beside him. No matter what metal shield or magic shield is, it is a joke before the single-blade horse-slashing sword. The single-blade horse-slashing sword has only one natural attribute - tearing. Although Salin is not a sword saint, he is born with divine power and has such powerful weapons. Salin probably can cut off the magic shield under the magician with one sword.
Rex is still luxurious enough. If Salin gets this weapon, it will definitely melt the materials and re-made other weapons. As long as Shenxing Iron is melted with any kind of meteorite, it can become a weapon with the same effect.
I just don’t know how many weapons there are like Rex. If all one hundred are in her hands, it would be a good way to deal with the cavalry.
Qin Yin now also has long pole heavy swords and heavy infantry weapons used to attack cavalry. However, this heavy sword is just made of stainless steel and has no magic effect. It is much worse than the single-blade horse-slashing sword in terms of value.
"Mr. Salin, can you give me a bone horse like you?" Zhuo Xiong smiled, feeling a little embarrassed. It was quite a shy thing for him to ask for something.
"You talk about the skeleton war horse? That thing is an undead. You are not a necromancer or a magician. Even if I give it to you, the skeleton war horse will soon lose its lifespan."
The bear sighed with a frown and said, "You don't know that this kind of sword is heavier than my heavy hammer. If I hold it, I can only walk, and the war horse will be crushed."
Among this group, only the violent bear was riding a monster, and his war hammer was more than 100 kilograms, which was a relatively high burden on the war horse. Ordinary war horses could carry more than 400 kilograms, which was actually a kind of monster. There was a strange power hidden in their bloodline. If it was a slow horse, it would definitely not be able to withstand the power of heavy cavalry.
However, the single-blade horse-slashing sword of Blast Bear is more than 500 kilograms, and he himself is almost 300 kilograms. This is still the case when he is not wearing armor. If Blast Bear is fully armed, it may weigh a thousand kilograms. Even if it is a skeleton war horse, it may be a bit difficult to carry him.
"Battle Bear, when you return to Metatrium City, I will help you find a way. There is no undead mage by your side now."
The bear could only sigh. He had not been to Metatlin City for a long time, but when he knew Daniel, he immediately became envious when he saw Daniel riding a level 8 undead like Pixius.
How could he know that the eighth level undead would never let him ride it. If he dared to touch Pixius, Pixius would burn his soul completely.
Not everyone can sign a contract with the undead. Although the spirit of the bear is powerful, he has no skills in using it and is no match for the advanced undead at all.
Without any fatigue, Salin sat at the entrance of the camp and chatted with the bear. Rex did not arrange a post, and the wilderness was silent, just like the two of them. The starlight pressed down, making the earth look a little pale.
Salin finally understood what Rex had done for so long after she returned. She mobilized all resources, purchased a large amount of food, and expanded her army. Kushui County incorporated the twelve surrounding cities, and had expanded its territory dozens of times. With her 20,000 swordsmen, Rex quickly completely subdued the surrounding nobles, and then incorporated their soldiers.
Now the swordsman camp under Kushui County has been expanded to six, but the swordsman camp brought out by Rex this time is her foundation, all of which are swordsmen who have followed her for many years.
Before Emperor Chanak's death, the size of the Kushui County was determined. Although Rex used force, it was allowed by law. What annoyed Safiros the most was that Emperor Chanak's Great allowed Rex to expand his army to ten swordsman battalions and participate in the battle of Galoran.
There are secret passages from Kushui County to Galloran, which are all mountain paths. Such small paths are unpassable, but Rex can send a team of two hundred people to infiltrate and train repeatedly.
After gathering up nearby nobles, the people under Rex had exceeded one million, and the size of a county and a state had been formed. The nobles she defeated were taken up, redistributed, and re-granted titles. These titles were rewards from the prince and had nothing to do with the Holy Rock City.
However, a population of one million will definitely not support an army of 100,000 people. In that case, the country will collapse. Fortunately, the four newly established swordsman battalions are not elite and have much less expense. Rex transferred an elite swordsman battalion to Metatlin City to share the consumption.
Salin will also pay to support this swordsman camp in the future.
"So, Rex has no money?"
"It's not that I'm not rich, I heard that the capital turnover is not working? Anyway, the princess can still sell some things now."
It turned out to be like this! Salin finally realized Rex's embarrassment. The army expanded so quickly, no matter how little the investment was, it was very stressful. A soldier's monthly military pay was at least one gold coin, not counting the investment of equipment. Now Rex has six swordsman battalions, and his monthly military pay would exceed 100,000 gold coins. After all, the military pay for officers was higher.
Rex plundered a batch of weapons and armor in Wolf Fang Town, which could supplement the problem of insufficient equipment, but if the soldiers had to eat, it was impossible to replace the military pay and daily food consumption with anything else.
No wonder Rex wants to make wine. No matter what wine is, he will have to pay high taxes as long as he buys and sells it.
"Here you!" The bear pointed at the end of the horizon. Even if he didn't say it, Salin heard the unconcealed sound of horse hooves.
It turned out to be a heavy cavalry? This thief really colluded with the nobles.
snort!
Salin snorted heavily, and he looked into the sky. There was a small black dot floating in the sky. It was a flying puppet. Because it was flying too high, he never noticed it. That height was already the limit of the flying puppet. If the weather was slightly bad, the flying puppet would be destroyed.
Unfortunately, there is no alchemy crossbow at hand, and at a height of one thousand meters, Salin's magic cannot be attacked.
Originally, Salin thought someone would attack in the dark, but he didn't expect that the other party would fight head-on. It seemed that the thieves were very confident in their own strength!
It turns out that they are idiots. Facing the eight great magicians, they actually mobilized heavy cavalry attacks. What is the difference between this and seeking death? Even if these heavy cavalry are built with huge sums of money, they cannot be matched by the great magicians, unless the number has accumulated to a certain level.
But heavy cavalry is a money-burning profession, and Rex is just heavy cavalry of two flag regiments.
