Chapter 348: Metatlin Mercenary Corps (Part 2)
Chapter 348: Metatlin Mercenary Group (Part 2)
Salin handed over the task of organizing mercenaries and training to Ge Yi. The ship of pirates he subdued was only Ge Yi's future, and Salin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was too naive at the time and thought that after training, those pirates could become powerful troops.
Salin doesn't have to worry about training. In addition to Ge Yi, Daniel's subordinates are also responsible for managing it, while Erinno only carries out and writes training plans.
What Salin needs to do is to prepare to build a city at the junction of the four countries. This city is a place of four battles and must be built into a complex fortress. Salin does not expect to attack, but only uses this place as a nail, so that Rex and his army will not suffer too much losses.
It is impossible for Salin to copy Metatlin City, and the consumption of materials alone is not enough.
The construction of Metatlin City not only consumes white stones, but also a large number of magic cores. Without the previous accumulation and support from Srieg Island, Salin could not have built the Dante sequence on the top of the city.
Two great magicians from Srieg Island have been sent to investigate geology and choose the location for the city building. Salin is now mining white stones everywhere, and at the same time, he also ordered the alchemy factory to speed up the creation of alchemy arrows.
The Metathrin Mercenary Group has no magicians. If you want to defend the city, in addition to the six-level magic tower, there must be a large number of alchemy crossbows and magic stone cannons. Otherwise, the enemy's strong men would fly over the top of the city and kill back and forth in the city, and talk about the key ways to guard it.
Fortunately, the red krill brought back by the Winged Skeleton was enough to cope with the scene. The armor was slower to be controlled. This is why Salin said that the troops were sent at the end of the year. If the Principality of Rhine launched in advance, he would have to let the main legion bite the bullet and take it forward.
The mercenaries lacked armor, so His Majesty the Emperor secretly brought five thousand pieces. This was definitely a big deal, but it was still not enough for Salin to equip the army. He started from scratch and had no savings, but he couldn't let the mercenaries wear the armor they brought to the battlefield. The armors were not only of poor quality, but also in a messy appearance.
In the end, Salin couldn't wait. He would send a large number of magicians to build a city. Without having to consider civilian issues like Metatriline, the city was completely militarized and it would be almost done in four months. In other words, except for the main force among the mercenaries, he would have to complete training within four months. The equipment should be in place as soon as possible.
So Salin moved out all the equipment of his ten main groups and assigned them to mercenaries. The officers of the main groups were unwilling to do so and came to find Salin. Salin simply called all the officers at the level of the flag regiment to the palace and explained the plan to everyone.
Seeing the magic model taken out by Salin, the officers went happily, but Salin asked the magician to redesign the equipment of ten main legions. Of course, these equipment were better than what they handed over, and they were more troublesome.
What is happier than the main legion is the Metatlin Mercenary Group, especially the newly-engraved mercenaries, who have never worn such good armor. Salin gave his main legion equipment to increase strength and reduce weight as much as possible. Getting the Qinin Empire is also the standard equipment of the main legion. The quality of any part is comparable.
Each person has seven weapons and a complete set of marching equipment. One hundred people have a big car and a magic apprentice. This kind of apprentice is a hopeless person for advanced magicians, so he joined the army. Magic apprentice has no magic strings, and can instead cultivate sword energy. They have a lot of knowledge of magic potions and serve as doctors in the army.
The most dead in the war were the wounded, and wound infection was the biggest killer of the army's reduction. There were magic apprentices carrying a large amount of potions, and this loss would be reduced to a minimum. This even happened - some soldiers' hands and feet were cut off. After the battle, the magician used magic to connect the soldiers' limbs and sent them home, but they were not disabled.
Although I can't continue to join the army, it doesn't affect my life.
Salin grasped the soldiers' psychology. Even if one magic apprentice was assigned to one hundred people, the soldiers greatly improved their morale. In fact, low-level apprentices can only release level 0 magic, and their combat power should not be overestimated.
The only difference is the war horse. Salin can't buy many war horses at present, and Daniel can't leave. The number of skeleton war horses is limited, so he can only allocate a little to the officer. Salin wants Aini to do this, but Aini himself is also preparing to advance to the magician and it is impossible to fight.
Fortunately, Salin's plan was not to capture the Principality of Rhine immediately. If you want to capture Rhine, not to mention 50,000 soldiers, 500,000 may not be enough. Because behind Rhine is the powerful Skochenya, it will be useless if you can't defend it after you fight.
Salin wanted to build a big city so that everyone passing by would be frightened. Infantry defending the city is more useful than cavalry.
Mercenaries were taken to Beizhen to train to defend the city. In Metatrium, all factories were speeding up construction. They had to take care of the defensive equipment of the new city before they could re-equip Salin's ten main legions.
Pasatro and Cornuco quickly returned to Metatrium City. These two people have advanced to level six magicians and rely on flying skills back and forth. If you walk, it will be almost seven or eight thousand miles from Metatrium to the Rhine border. If you find a small path, you will only save about one thousand miles. If you fly in a straight line, it will only be about five thousand miles.
The journey back and forth between the two level 6 magicians and the exploration of the terrain is only half a month.
There are six magic images brought back, three of which are planned for the future. There are only three places where the borders of the four countries are suitable for building cities.
The first is the place close to a plain, with mountains behind it. The second is the place below a huge mountain peak, with a depression. This depression is less than a mile, so the city cannot be completely built inside, and it is not big enough. The third is a lake with a huge island in the center.
These magical images are annotated. The two mage teams of Srieg Island are obviously very proficient in building cities. They have even explored the groundwater system. There is no possibility of earthquakes in these three places. The location of the city can be built, the geology is good, and no magical physics problems will occur when building any building.
After careful consideration, Salin chose the second place. The first place and the third place did not meet Salin's strategic requirements. It would be fine to treat it as a commercial city. The big island in the lake is the best.
Neither of these two places has deterrent power. Building a city with a lonely peak can be attacked everywhere.
Since the location was selected and all the data were listed, Salin invited Eilenno to study the city's design plan. This lonely peak is extremely tall and appears abrupt in a mixed area of hills and plains. One side of the peak with a depression is full of red stones. From the sample analysis, it is not volcanic formation.
This red stone is obviously not as good as the white stone in Metatlin City, but it is similar to granite, meeting the standards of building a city. The most important thing about this isolated militarized city is warehouses. You must reserve enough food and water.
Dozens of mages gathered together to design drawings, while Salin analyzed on the map.
This location is one hundred and twenty miles northwest, which is the Principality of Rhine, and one hundred miles southwest is Galloran. Around the lonely peak behind it, which is one hundred and eighty miles northwest is Phoenix. Walking south for more than two hundred miles is Qin Yin.
Although adjacent to the Four Kingdoms, the terrain is relatively flat, with mountainous terrain around it, and the way to enter and exit is limited. Because there are better roads whether to north or east, the land here is not suitable for cultivation, but rather deserted. It is said that this was a huge battlefield for the black magician to cause chaos, and hundreds of thousands of people died here, which is also the reason why no one is willing to stay here.
Salin felt it was very good because to the northwest, the road was not bumpy, and by mobilizing soldiers to repair the road, a strategic channel to the Rhine could be opened. In the southward direction, the road was narrow, the southwest direction, and the road was wide. Here, Qin was difficult to attack directly, so he had to enter Galoran and detour. Go back and enter Phoenix.
The magicians studied for three days and designed a strange city based on the terrain of the lonely peak. Salin was attracted by this design at a glance. This design was exactly what he wanted.
On the west of the kilometer peak, the depression is the city's warehouse. Two miles west of the mountain, a huge castle is built, and then on both sides close to the mountain, each building a castle of a size, and the three castles are connected by wide walls.
The castle on the front can accommodate 20,000 people, and the two sides can also accommodate 10,000 people. With the space surrounded by the city wall, this city can station 100,000 regular troops. Auxiliary soldiers can also station 100,000.
The area where Rex's army is active is still southwest, but it is actually within Galloran. The location where Salin built the city is only two hundred miles away, and it can rush to help in one day.
After making up his mind, Salin began to prepare materials on a large scale. This time, Neris had to go there in person. If there is no help from the undead, it would be very slow to rely on humans. Unless it is all done by the magicians, cutting mountains and digging materials. Even then, thousands of puppets have to be used, and Salin doesn't have that many.
When Salin was busy, the envoys escorted by the Sixth Battalion encountered trouble.
The nobles of the Principality of Phoenix rebelled.
The cause of the incident is said to be because Rex occupied Mars City and Side Star City. In fact, the fundamental reason was also on the envoys of Holy Rock City. The envoys of Holy Rock City traveled through Phoenix with high profile, and Guderian City also sent powerful troops to escort it. There were rumors on the side of Sun City.
Holy Rock City recognized the Metatriline Kingdom in the north to completely annex Phoenix in order to attack on both sides. So at the call of Sun City, the Phoenixes organized an army of 50,000 people to surround Mars City, and then used an army of 20,000 people to attack Side Star City.
