Lu Jinyan and Chen Guohua both breathed a sigh of relief. They all knew the combat effectiveness of the Iron Armored Army. If Zhao Hai also transferred the Iron Armored Army back to the Ecstasy City State, if the Napu River City State was really attacked by the Holy Court, and all
When all the reinforcements are withdrawn, they are really doomed.
Now that Zhao Hai has agreed to keep the Iron Armored Army, Lu Jinyan and Chen Guohua finally have some confidence, and they finally have the confidence to fight against the Holy Court.
Zhao Hai looked at Lu Jinyan and Chen Guohua and couldn't help but said: "I tell you two, don't put your money on the Third Army. It's the Iron Armored Army you call. After all, the Third Army is just a ground force.
Although bed slaves will pose a certain threat to Wukong-level experts and can even cause their casualties, when they want to attack with all their strength, it is really not easy for the ground to block them. After all,
The ground troops have too many restrictions and cannot be as flexible as those Wu Kong-level masters, so the best way to deal with Wu Kong-level masters is to use Wu Kong-level masters."
Lu Jinyan nodded, and then he sighed and said: "We still don't know what the Holy Court's next move will be, but we have to prepare for the worst. To be honest, City Lord Zhao is wearing armor today.
The combat effectiveness of the army really opened my eyes. I never expected that the combat effectiveness of the Iron Armored Army would be so strong."
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "The army of my city-state of Bewitched Soul has actually not been in existence for a long time. The army of the city-state of Bewitched Soul was not well equipped in the past, and its mood for war was very serious. Such an army does not have any
combat effectiveness. Later, I changed their equipment and intensified their training. I also increased their military pay and pensions, and they became what they are now. But speaking of it, they are really very good.
Yes, after all, in the Ecstasy City State, there used to be wars almost every day, and the quality of the army is still good. As long as they are well trained and the morale problem is solved, their combat effectiveness will immediately improve."
Lu Jinyan nodded, then sighed and said: "The method you mentioned is simple, but how much money does it cost just to prepare the army? I just saw that the armored soldiers are all wearing iron armor. Use
The weapons are also all metal. How much does it cost? Our Puhe city-state cannot afford to support such an army."
Lu Jinyan is right. In raising an army, in addition to the investment when the army is formed, there is another very scary thing. That is the continuous investment in the later period.
The initial investment can be obtained like ordinary city-states, but the continuous investment in the later period makes many city-states timid. The more troops there are, the higher the military investment will be. If it is an income, it is not very high.
For high-ranking city-states, the military investment alone can make them very nervous. Even if there is a battle and the army suffers too many casualties, they may not even be able to pay out pensions.
For medium-sized city-states like Puhe City-state, their city-states actually do not have a lot of tax revenue. Firstly, because they control very few cities, and secondly, because in cities like them, general commerce is not very developed.
Under such circumstances, they naturally cannot have too much tax revenue, so even if Puhe City-State wants to raise an army like one or two armored soldiers, they cannot afford it.
Zhao Hai took a sip of wine, took a breath and said: "Actually, I couldn't afford it at first, but then I got a treasure from the Tianjian Empire period, and then I invested all the money in the construction of the Ecstasy City State
Only in this way can we support these soldiers."
Lu Jinyan nodded and said nothing. In fact, they had already speculated in this regard, but no one was sure. Now that Zhao Hai said this, no one doubted it.
Lu Jinyan looked at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice: "In fact, I still admire you, sir. Even if ordinary people give them so much money, they can't do what you do, sir, to make the Ecstasy City-State like this."
In a short period of time, it has completely changed. This is definitely not something ordinary people can do."
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing. There has always been war in the Confused Mountains. People are very eager for peace, and I gave them peace. At the same time, I also gave them hope. I also spent money to improve them.
life, and all they have to do is be obedient. Under such circumstances, how could the people in the city-state of Bewitched be disobedient?"
Lu Jinyan nodded and sighed. He knew that there was no way to replicate the miracles in the Ecstasy City State, so he could only listen.
Afterwards, the few people did not talk about such a heavy topic, but just chatted and ate and drank. After eating and drinking, Zhao Hai went back to his room to rest, and Lu Jinyan and Chen Guohua went to Lu Jinyan's study again.
After the two of them arrived at Lu Jinyan's study and sat down, Lu Jinyan glanced at Chen Guohua and said in a deep voice: "Guohua, do you think the Holy Academy will do what Zhao Hai said? If they really did that,
Wouldn’t that mean being an enemy of all city-states? Would they do that?”
To be honest, Lu Jinyan really didn't want the Holy Court to do anything like that. If the Holy Court really did that, then their Puhe City-State would be in an unprecedented crisis.
Chen Guohua smiled bitterly and said: "City Lord, although I don't want the Holy Court to do this, it is very likely that the Holy Court will do this. The worst thing they can do is issue a statement before they do this.
The city-states are helping us deal with the Holy Court. They are the enemies of the Holy Court. If they want to deal with their enemies, they can naturally attack those city-states. Those guys from the Holy Court are capable of doing such a thing."
Lu Jinyan frowned and said: "If that is really the case, then we will be in a lot of trouble. Although Zhao Hai promised that the Iron Armored Army will always stay, but as Zhao Hai said, the Iron Armored Army is the ground force after all.
Troops, if we have to use ground troops to fight against those Wukong-level masters, this is a huge disadvantage in itself, so we still have to find other ways."
Chen Guohua nodded and said in a deep voice: "Actually, the method proposed by City Lord Zhao to unifiedly command all Wu Kong-level masters is very good, but the people from other city gangs may not agree to it, just like
It was City Lord Zhao who said that if other city-states are attacked by the Holy Word, they will definitely recall their Wukong-level masters as soon as possible. When the next time the Holy Court attacks us, even if they know about it, they will not come to support.
We, because they are afraid that their city-state is being attacked."
Lu Jinyan nodded, then took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "You go down first, I want to think about it carefully." Chen Guohua responded, then turned around and left.
After Lu Jinyan waited for Chen Guohua to leave, he turned around and entered the rest room at the back, and then entered the secret room. As soon as he entered the secret room, Lu Jinyan's face sank because he had not teleported in the secret realm.
On the battlefield, I saw no letters, which meant that the ancestor of their family did not reply.
Lu Jinyan's heart sank when he saw this situation. You must know that he had an agreement with his ancestor. After he sent a letter to their ancestor, their ancestor would definitely reply within an hour.
, if their ancestor does not reply, it means that something happened to their ancestor.
Although Duanhe level masters rarely appear in the world of spiritual weapons now, this does not mean that these Duanhe level masters are completely indifferent to the fireworks of the world. In fact, people have always had a legend that all those who have arrived
Duanhe-level masters will all go to a mysterious place and live there forever. Unless something happens to their family, they will come out from there. And in that place, there are also servants, and every Duanhe-level master will live there.
Masters have their own servants, so even if they are in retreat, if he doesn't see the letter from their family to them, their servants will see it, and then their servants can reply to his family and tell him
Family, he is retreating so that his family can find another way. It is precisely because of this that Lu Jinyan made an agreement with his family’s ancestor. After he wrote to their family’s ancestor, their family’s ancestor
They will reply within an hour. If they cannot reply within an hour, it means something happened to their ancestor. If something really happened to their ancestor, the servant will leave, and he will
When sending a message to their ancestors, their ancestors will naturally not be able to receive it.
Lu Jinyan and Zhao Hai had a long meal, far more than an hour. However, during such a long time, their ancestor did not reply to him, which made Lu Jinyan immediately feel a little uncomfortable.
a feeling of.
The ancestors of the Duanhe level are the foundation for a city-state to settle down and survive. Without the ancestors of the Duanhe level, it is difficult for a city-state to maintain itself. Sooner or later, other city-states will annex it.
And Lu Jinyan always felt that this time the Holy Court's behavior in attacking their Puhe City-state was a bit weird. Their Puhe City-state also had their own ancestors, but the Holy Court threatened to destroy their Lu family. That was not too disrespectful to their ancestors.
To save face? Isn’t the Holy Court afraid of the revenge of their ancestors?
But now when Lu Jinyan saw that his ancestor didn't reply to him, his heart sank suddenly. He thought of a very scary possibility, that is, had his ancestor met with an accident?
If the ancestor of their family really encountered an accident or passed away, the Holy Court would get the news, and it was precisely because of this news that the Holy Court took action against Puhe City-State, because the Holy Court
They know that if they destroy the Puhe city-state, no one will seek revenge on them.
As for what the Holy Court said, they found evidence that Puhe City State was the murderer of Tang Fei. Lu Jinyan believed it before, but now he doesn't believe it because the Holy Court didn't produce any evidence. They just said that there was evidence.
, but what kind of evidence it is, they have never come up with it. Lu Jinyan thought before that the Holy Court did not want to come up with the evidence so early, but now it seems that it may not be the case at all. The Holy Court is very
There may be no evidence at all. The reason why they want to deal with Puhe City-State is because something happened to the ancestor of Puhe City-State, and they need another city-state to establish their authority, so they just said this. Just before Puhe City-State,
The city-state also had a relationship with Tang Fei, so it was only appropriate to blame the Puhe city-state for this matter. As for the real murderer discovered afterwards and the Puhe city-state was found to be unjust, so what?
