Chapter 351: Mass Production (Part 1)
Chapter 351: Mass production (Part 1)
The sixth battalion general ordered his personal soldiers to leave Viscount Piac. The battle was over, and Viscount Piac's face was still a little pale. He couldn't think of this level of battle. During the battle of guarding Metatlin, he just paid some money and hired a few people to defend the city wall, but he hid in the mansion.
The cavalry unloaded their armor and began to take out the items in the skin of the war horse. They were metal bottles, which contained water for repair. This was used by Salin to restore the physical strength of the heavy cavalry, and there were also heavy armor infantry.
However, the heavy armored infantry did not unload their armor. They did not consume much physical strength and did not have war horses. They should be prepared for new situations at any time.
The infantry of the two flag regiments began to clean the battlefield. The so-called cleaning of the battlefield means to make sure that the enemy died completely and take off the valuable equipment on the enemy.
The soldiers of the Sixth Battalion were like a group of ants, with normal movement and no unnecessary sounds.
The cavalry of the envoys of the Holy Rock City delegation also dropped their horses and rested on the spot. The two magicians did not say a word, thinking about it. The Duke of Valde didn't know what he was thinking. The battalion of the Sixth Battalion would send someone to ask for an hour of rest, and he agreed casually.
It takes more than an hour to clean the battlefield, but the Sixth Battalion does not require captives, as long as it is equipped. The shot alchemy crossbow arrows must be retracted, and the iron arrows of the heavy crossbow must be retracted. Soldiers must check the damage to the armor and need to replace the accessories, and report to the officer as soon as possible.
Soon, the losses of the Sixth Battalion were counted - 175 people died and 950 people were injured.
The dead soldiers were more than a hundred light infantry, and then dozens of cavalry were seriously injured and could not save them even by magicians. No heavy armored infantry was killed, only a few were slightly injured.
There were nearly a thousand wounded people, of which less than one hundred were seriously injured. The formation of the Sixth Battalion changed, leaving itself in a state of more and less fighting. Once someone was injured, he would retreat immediately.
"Let the minor wounded return to Metatrim with the serious wounded and send 500 people to protect him." The battalion will quickly issue an order. His sixth battalion was very important to Salin, and he is just a newcomer to Salin, and he is very concerned about the damage to the soldiers. This battle could have been better.
The wounded soldiers were gathered together, and the seriously injured were placed in a carriage. After the slightly injured people simply bandaged them, they rode the infantry horses and turned back to the original path under the protection of five hundred soldiers.
When this team of soldiers returned to Metatlin City, Salin was still busy with the mercenary group. Hearing that the Sixth Battalion was attacked in Phoenix, losing thousands of people, Salin was mixed with joy.
What I worry is that I don’t have many generals and officials at my hands. The country has just been established and I don’t have much savings. It is not good for development. I am happy that the Phoenix is in turmoil and I have a reason to participate.
The envoys were attacked, this was no small matter.
Salin immediately came to the palace from the alchemy factory in Nancheng and recruited all the nobles who were enthroned by him.
"My king, congratulations." Duke Renee was the first to speak. She was from the Tiffany family, the great Tiffany magician from Metatlin City, and was also from her family. Many talents in this family have left but have never declined.
In the words of the magician, the bloodline of this family is born very powerful.
Renee is also a very smart person. When she decided to join Metattering, she was the most low-key and brought the most wealth.
Now that Salin founded the country, she began to plan wholeheartedly.
"What are you going to congratulate?" Salin glanced at the other nobles, and saw that most of them were happy.
"The Phoenix rebelled, and it was definitely not an accidental raid. What's the envoys' group of envoys? They did this, which means Sun City. I think, Prince Rex's Mars City is also dangerous. My king, you must contact Prince Rex as soon as possible. The two countries must sign an agreement to jointly attack the rebels in Phoenix!" Renee could know what happened in Phoenix just by guessing. Her political sense can be said to be very strong.
"My king, Renee is right." Elaine added next to it: "Union with Prince Rex, we enter Phoenix with justification. The food in the north is only self-sufficient. Once my king wants to expand and support the army, we need a granary like Phoenix. The same is true for Kushui County. My king, I have made up my mind to not wait for the attitude of Holy Rock City!"
"What do you mean?" Salin looked around the other nobles.
Aini said, "I am willing to build a new city for you. Leave all the things over there to me."
Saling immediately let go of half of his heart. With Aini to build a new city, the construction speed of the new city will be several times faster. Aini can summon a large number of undeads and save himself many soldiers. These soldiers can immediately devote themselves to the Phoenix war.
"I can send five thousand troops!" Gu Ya said happily.
"I'll pay a thousand!"
"I'll give out seven hundred!"
"five hundred……"
"two thousand!"
The nobles helped each other generously. In a blink of an eye, Salin had already added more than 20,000 troops. These troops were not responsible for equipment, but only responsible for a small amount of logistics, and only for land rewards.
Salin did not expect that the nobles were so enthusiastic that the one who called for five hundred troops was just a third-class baron he had newly awarded, and was the lowest among the nobles. Because Salin had given few nobles, he was qualified to enter the palace for a meeting. If these five hundred soldiers were taken out by a third-class baron, they would almost lose their fortunes.
But this baron had enough vision and could follow the king's army on his first expedition, and he would soon be promoted to viscount. Such opportunities were not always available. Only the nobles who followed the king would receive generous rewards.
Salin has cohesion because he has enough mages, foreign players like Rex, and - he has never stingy on profits. What Salin can earn will definitely be given to the close nobles.
Taking Guya as an example, she brought out the power of the family and was enough to be independent. However, she still couldn't compare with Salin. The number of mages around Salin was dozens of times that of hers.
Salin calculated in his mind that these nobles could send more than 25,000 troops, and then dispatched another 10,000 people, plus some mercenaries and auxiliary soldiers, which were more than 50,000 troops. If you were not greedy, you would have no problem just defending Mars City.
There are only two cities near Mars City, three cities are connected to one barrier. Mars City also has five thousand troops of Rex, and those five thousand are elite, so defense is not a problem.
This time, it was justified, and it would be impossible to drive myself away in the future.
Salin immediately asked Daniel to count the number of troops sent and how much logistics supplies needed. He immediately contacted Kushui County and found a way to get the 10,000 troops on the border of Galoran to mobilize them.
On the border of Galulan, you can just have your own new city. Salin probably won’t want to attack in this direction, otherwise she wouldn’t have attacked Galulan from the path behind Kushui County.
At this time, Salin also understood the importance of aristocrats. After all, he was alone and had many nobles following him. He could form an army to fight at any time. He provided resources, magicians, and these nobles to fight for him. This was also the power structure model of various empires. The royal family had the strongest power, but would not occupy all their interests.
However, Salin's situation was still tight, because the construction of the new city could not be reduced at all. The army that went to the Phoenix would not be pieced together randomly. At least Salin had to be responsible for part of the equipment of the nobles. He decided to send troops himself, but he could not occupy the resources of the mercenary group.
Salin has now distributed the equipment left by Rex. Many of these noble soldiers are also recruited. If there is no good equipment, the casualties will be a tangled number.
The alchemy factory is working hard to prepare for the Phoenix War. Salin will not go deep into Phoenix, nor will it really attack Sun City. Sun City is also a majestic city and is the core of Phoenix. Let the people of Guderian City do this kind of thing. So Salin's equipment is still mainly defense, but there are not many offensive weapons.
Rex's five thousand men stationed in Mars City will not be captured so quickly. When his sixth battalion arrives, more than 10,000 soldiers from the envoys are enough to form a powerful defense. When his army is temporarily defending Mars City, Rex's army will be completely safe as soon as his army arrives.
Salin still has more than 100,000 level 4 magic cores in his hand, and these magic cores are also trying hard to cut. All the cut pieces are handed over to Eileano. Eileano is now in Nanyuan, trying his best to cultivate magic plants.
Salin didn't know how she stored magic seeds. Anyway, Salin didn't notice it at all when she captured Erinno last time. Now Erinno has taken out all the magic seeds, and terrifying plants are growing everywhere in the Nanyuan.
The reason why it is said to be terrifying is that the consumption of these plants is greater than that of monsters. Every day, the nutrients configured with the repair water and magic core powder are watered.
The most concentrated cultivation of Elinno is the Star Vine, which is the fastest growing of this magical plant, which is used to weave elves armor. Every day, Salin uses the internal organs of the monsters in the warehouse as nutrients and gives them to Elinno. Then at night, soldiers will be sent to harvest.
Of course, this kind of elf armor woven for soldiers will not be like the one on Shika, but it is also very convenient to wear. You can also wear a layer of metal armor outside the light elf armor, which is equivalent to heavy infantry equipment.
The chariots transporting food and equipment are also being manufactured in large quantities. Qin Yin's baggage vehicles can be arranged in a chariot array in field battles to deal with cavalry. Therefore, the cost of such vehicles is not cheap. The structure of the vehicle body must withstand the recoil force when shooting a heavy crossbow.
Salin distributed all his armor and equipment, then filled up the soldiers of the second battalion and re-equipped the elf armor. Fortunately, Erinno had been doing such a thing for a long time, otherwise Salin would not have sent the army out of Metatlin City within a week.
What made Salin laugh and cry was that many nobles who were not rewarded by him also sent out a number of soldiers in their private names and requested Salin to be incorporated into the army that went to war. Salin simply did not bring mercenaries, and all the troops consisted of the nobles and the second battalion, with a total of 52,000 people.
