All of this looked very beautiful. The only drawback was that both the magic street lights and the surrounding villas were dim. This made Valed feel particularly lonely.

"What's so good about it?" At this moment, Elsa's complaining sound came from behind Valed. The female cat didn't like the cold weather.

"Yes, I have her around me, so I'm not alone." This thought flashed in Valed's heart, causing him to smile again. So he immediately turned around, put one hand around Elsa's waist, pointed the other hand back, and a breeze pushed the window. Not long after, the lights in their room also went out.

While the Sigma Empire and its allies were fighting against the Northland Chaos, Silvania also developed in an orderly manner according to Valed's plan. With the continuous work of about 150,000 ants, the railway line from Dekenhof to Natchedov was finally completed.

At the same time, the railway line from Wadenhof of the Ramiya family to Templehof of the Nilakochi family is about to be completed. What Valed expects is that the railway network that runs through the entire Sylvania has finally begun to show its scale.

At the same time, in the Earl Aberhracin, a large arsenal with the latest and improved automatic production lines of the undead and the automatic production lines of weapons and equipment as production equipment is about to be completed. These latest production lines further enhance the functions - although the material of the skeleton itself cannot be improved, the new magic array can further increase the combat skills mastered by the skeleton soldiers, and their focus will be further clarified.

Just like the skeleton soldiers who used muskets before increased the hardness of their shoulder blades and arms, Vared divided the skeleton soldiers under his command into five types, specializing in muskets, longbows, super long spears, shield spears and light cavalry tactics. The latest magic circles can allow these undead soldiers to master more knowledge and skills with the weapons they need to use. At the same time, their bones have become more focused.

Needless to say, the skeleton soldiers using muskets, but the undead who use longbows will further twist and deform the arms, just like the skeleton deformed by the English longbows in another world, so as to better draw the bow.

For the shield spearmen and super spearmen who need higher weight and stability, Vared increased the weight and firmness of their bones. Of course, the price is that their speed and flexibility have become slightly worse. But it doesn't matter. The most important thing in the military formation is cooperation. So Vared doesn't think he did something wrong.

The last one is the light cavalry. After verifying that the handgun of this era is an extremely tragic weapon, and sensing that the cavalry bow is limited in its lethality to the army equipped with plate armor on a large scale, it decided to arrange the light cavalry crossbows to the cavalry unit.

Judging from the conclusions drawn from previous actual combat, this equipment has indeed greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the skeleton cavalry. This allowed these light cavalry equipped with excellent steel cavalry crossbows to become a multi-faceted expert in the Sylvanian army from cannon fodder and burden.

The improved skeleton war horses are faster and have stronger impact. The equipment of the skeleton cavalry has also changed from scimitars and shields to a combination of rifles, nail hammers and cavalry crossbows.

Such long-range and melee weapons combinations allow them to charge, engage in hand-to-hand combat, or conduct long-range attacks. Whether it is assault, surprise attack, detour or pursuit, these light cavalry can be competent. If it weren't for the rapid changes in this era, Vared would have really further elite these light cavalry and remain the city.

Unfortunately, the era is different now. The elite light cavalry is indeed sufficient to compete with most wars, but Valed did not mean to cultivate them as the absolute main force, because he had a better choice.

A group of skeleton musketeers equipped with the latest breech, rifled flintlock, jack-type bayonet, and paper shells were the next focus of Valed's military reform. Of course, when developing this kind of army, the undead wizards, alchemists and black magicians of Sylvania still encountered certain difficulties.

Because this is a weapon that has never appeared before. Whether it is bayonet or the use of this advanced gunpowder weapon, a new magic array is required to be edited to allow the undead soldiers to remember. These work has no references at all, so the work is extremely difficult. In comparison, after obtaining the engineering technology of the Chaos Dwarf, the development of advanced flintlock rifles is simpler.

However, no matter what, Sylvania finally edited this magic circle and successfully burned it on a tomb guard. After experiments, it was proved that the combat effectiveness of this tomb guard was qualified.

He can skillfully fire about six to ten bullets in one minute. Within a distance of 15 meters, his hit rate is as high as 30%. His projectiles can penetrate four millimeters of super heavy plate armor, easily penetrate three millimeters of heavy plate armor and corresponding magic armor, special creatures such as trolls, ogres, mammoths, and dragon demons. Such shooting speed, accuracy and lethality can throw a hundred streets of smoothbore guns.

At the same time, these tomb guards can also use this musket that is as long as 1.2 meters long and equipped with bayonets to reach 1.4 meters as a spear that can be cut and stabbed. After blessing armor-breaking and sharp magic, the steel bayonet that has been hardened and quenched can pierce two millimeters of standard steel plate armor directly in the hands of the tomb guards.

Although this is not as powerful as the standard equipment of the ancient tomb guards, the two-meter-long black iron halberd can still guarantee a certain advantage when fighting against the enemy's light infantry. What's more, these ancient tomb guards are attacked by long-range personnel.

Of course, the equipment and combat skills of these new soldiers need to be redesigned. Then their tactics will naturally be brand new. Vared expects these soldiers to form smaller units and arrange them into relatively loose dispersed arrays, with the first row kneeling and the second row standing shooting. At the same time, the loose array can ensure that the soldiers in the rear row have enough space to shoot.

In this way, these soldiers can fire bullets at the same time as possible - because their shooting speed is faster, there is no need to worry about intermittent shooting. This is essentially different from the front-mounted smoothbore rifle soldiers who must line up and perform three-stage shooting.

In this way, after designing, producing, and then building a production line that can automatically produce this new tomb guard. Silvania took two years and experienced the relocation of the arsenal to Natchedov. However, in the end, last month, all this finally paid off. Automatic production lines with a monthly output of more than 1,500 people began to operate. These new tomb guards, which Vared called "line infantry" by Vared, were equipped with troops along with the rest of the soldiers.

That's right, the army, a brand new army of skeletons that are almost inexhaustible in the flesh and blood, and all the steel, black iron and other metals that Sirvania can obtain as raw materials, are now on standby in the endless fortress group created by the worker ants, waiting for the orders of their vampire masters. They are ready to tear their enemies to pieces at any time.

Everything was developing as Vared thought. The army, fortress, railway lines, the undead had enough workers and enough soldiers, and enough weapons and organizations. The vampires of Sylvania had never felt as powerful as they are now.

Even powerful... enough to conquer this world.

Vared's prestige has increased unprecedentedly. Whether it is giving up the "Blood Dragon Knight Fort" and entering the brand new bastion fortress, or Nirakochi or Lamiya, whether it is the elders, middle-aged people, young people, or children, everyone is in awe of Vared. Vared could have predicted that as long as the battle ends, he will defeat the green skin. Then it will be a foregone conclusion that his succession as the Duke of Sylvania.

Although his aunt, Earl Nephrata, might still resist. Even the earl could not resist the will of the entire family and even the entire Sylvania. When necessary, Vared could even propose to convene a citizen meeting in Sylvania to bypass the earl's level to obtain duke's rights... although this does not conform to the so-called "tradition".

Of course, if this kind of thing is not absolutely necessary, Valed would not want to do it. No matter how Nevrata looks at him, she is still Valed's aunt after all.

Just after the fortress group conceived by Valed, the army of the Abel Hracin family and the other three families who came to assist all gave up the defense of the flesh and blood land and entered these brand new, strong and equipped with a large number of artillery, and composed of cross-fire fortresses with a multi-angle prismatic structure.

The Greenskin troops, without corresponding siege weapons and no artillery, suffered heavy losses under these bastion fortresses. They were then moved through the secret passage and one-way teleportation magic array to the outside of the city. The undead troops on their flanks were defeated. The bodies were then concentrated, and the flesh and blood were removed, and then transported to Nachedov's arsenal through a black caravan to be made into undead soldiers.
