Another advantage of letting them join is that they understand the needs of the mercenary fleet better than the staff of the Yongye Army. After considering their conditions, the policies formulated are more acceptable to them.
As expected.
This mercenary plan with free plundering rights is very popular among the surrendered East China Sea Fleet squadron.
Seventy percent of them chose to accept this mercenary status and continue to work hard in the fleet.
There are also 30%, as Captain Shiamore said, who are full of yearning for a relatively stable life on land. These people are mainly old, weak, sick and disabled, and some have family burdens.
If they had not just surrendered, had insufficient understanding of Yongye Army Leader, were worried, and did not know what kind of life would be waiting for them if they accepted Yongye Army Leader's comprehensive resettlement, I am afraid that the proportion of such people would have increased by one.
to 20%.
After three months of discussions, the Maritime Mercenaries Bill was finally finalized, approved, and entered into trial operation.
With this bill, the rest becomes much simpler.
According to the bill, the cuts are the cuts, the rewards are the rewards, and the placements are the placements.
This bill was not limited to the squadron led by Shia Mor, but also applied to the 17,000 landing troops led by the Yongye Army who were forced to surrender on the Donau River.
Captain Shiamore has priority in recruiting them.
Anyway, Shia Moor is leading a group of mercenaries. In a short period of time, the Yongye Army leader does not need their loyalty, only the benefits they bring.
More than 80% of the more than 17,000 surrendered prisoners chose to join Shia Mor.
Compared to the unfamiliar leader of the Evernight Army, they were more familiar with Shia Mor. Following him made them feel more secure, and becoming a mercenary was better than betrayal.
As for after arriving at the mercenary fleet, does Shia Mor have the ability to surrender them?
No one in the Yongye military leadership is worried at all.
In the past few months of resettlement work, Shia Moore has fully demonstrated his skills. This person is definitely a heroic figure, flexible and flexible, has excellent adaptability, and has a good personality charm.
Especially in a fleet floating on the sea, it is a closed circle. Even if the people above have second thoughts, they have nowhere to escape.
Soon, the adapted Night Army mercenary fleet based on the East China Sea Squadron was released.
It consists of one Dreadnought-class barque, the Sea, two Dreadnought-class schooners, eighteen Hurricane-class battleships, twenty-five Wavebreaker-class battleships, and one hundred small sloops, with a total crew of five sailors.
More than 2,000 people.
Compared with the beginning of the surrender, the number of warships of various grades has increased slightly. This was the harvest when Captain Shiamore led the fleet to raid the ports of the East China Sea. All the relatively intact ones were adapted into the mercenary fleet by him.
However, as for small warships, they were greatly streamlined, leaving less than 10%.
At the beginning, Donghai Kingdom launched a mighty campaign against Yong Ye's military leader, claiming to have three thousand warships.
It's purely used to scare people.
Not to mention a third fleet, even if all the warships in the three sea areas of the entire Ashan continent were included, there would not be even three thousand high-grade large warships.
The number of large warships in the East China Sea Kingdom does not exceed 200, and the rest are all single-masted warships that are just a few, and the majority of them are warships and fishing boats belonging to the islanders of the Great Bay Islands.
At the beginning, it was mainly for the purpose of fighting deep inside the Donau Plain that they were collected and sent out together.
In large-scale naval battles, their usefulness is basically zero, and they are not even qualified as cannon fodder.
Not to mention behemoths like the Dauntless class, even if they are in front of the Wave Breaker class, they can only look up at them. In the blink of an eye, they will be smashed and crushed into the bottom of the water.
Coupled with the new naval warfare materials exchanged from the Eternal Night Army Leader, the combat effectiveness of the mercenary fleet has skyrocketed.
All in all, the mercenary fleet exchanged more than 230 artillery pieces from the Yongye Army Leader.
These artillery can be described as diverse.
There are both regular ship-borne guns, infantry guns, and even more than a dozen mortars.
The origins of these cannons also vary.
There are both experimental models, some that have been repaired, and some that have problems before leaving the factory, or that are obsolete products after process adjustments.
All in all, there are not many serious good products.
This is something that both parties are well aware of.
It is impossible for the leader of the Evernight Army to give the mercenary fleet too many, too many good things as soon as he gets started.
At least they will ensure that their explorer fleet maintains suppression of the mercenary fleet in all aspects.
Then there is the issue of price.
A brand new ship-mounted gun costs three times as much as this defective product.
The main focus of the mercenary fleet is to fill the quantity. After the quantity becomes popular, it will not be too late to improve the quality.
Even so, the mercenary fleet still feels like they have found a treasure. They cherish them from top to bottom and want to wipe them eight times a day.
There are more than 12,000 black powder shells and more than 5,000 black powder mines.
Thirty-five thousand people received basic knowledge and combat skills, with artillery manipulation as the main focus.
As for the special artillery shells, Captain Shia Mor was very coveted, but they were not on the exchange list. No matter how he tried to get them, the Yongye Army leader refused because of insufficient contribution.
In the assessment of Yongye Military Leader, the mercenary fleet's use of black powder shells was more than enough to deal with the East China Sea Fleet.
There is no need to take the risk of leaking the black technology in special artillery shells and hand them over to the mercenary fleet for use.
The mercenary fleet had just been reorganized and they couldn't wait to take the initiative. The target was naturally the East China Sea.
In their eyes, Donghai Kingdom is no longer their country, but their prey.
Only by tearing enough flesh and blood from their bodies can they develop and grow.
Less than half a year later, war broke out again in the East China Sea.
This is bound to be a lengthy war of attrition.
The adapted mercenary fleet has certain advantages over the East China Sea fleet, but it is not as obvious as the explorer fleet.
Shiamore also played relatively conservatively, using basically wolf pack tactics.
Spotting the weak point of the East China Sea Kingdom, he rushed forward and took a bite, never staying in the same place for more than half a week. He accurately blocked the reaction time of the Donghai Kingdom fleet, causing Shi Dubin to scream in anger, but there was nothing he could do.
Compared to Yongye Commander, Captain Shiamore understands the situation of the East China Sea Kingdom very well. Not only is he well aware of their capabilities in all aspects, but he also knows where to hit them to cause them pain and gain greater rewards.
The mercenary fleet transformed into a super large leech, firmly attached to Donghai Kingdom.
The more nutrients they absorb from the East China Sea Kingdom, the more good things they can exchange from the leader of the Yongye Army.
On the contrary, the Donghai Kingdom that was sucked by blood became weaker and weaker.
Steubin tried to send people deep into the mercenary fleet to instigate those who were still loyal to the East China Sea Kingdom. However, as soon as he showed up, he was reported and hung on the mast to dry.
On the contrary, Captain Shia Mor, although he did not make any attempt in this regard, as the mercenary policy of the Yongye Army spread, a steady stream of captains took their warships and sailors to escape from the East China Sea.
Come out and join Captain Shiamore.
To a certain extent, the mercenary policy of the Yongye Army is broader and more tempting than that of the East China Sea Kingdom.
During their plundering process, the East China Sea Kingdom took a very high commission. Even if they brought their own warships and crew, they still had to pay 30%.
For the mercenaries of the Yongye Army, all harvests belong to themselves, but if you want the goods or services in the hands of the Yongye Army, you have to spend money to buy them.
The prices set by the Yongye Army Leader are full of humanity, and the prices of daily necessities such as daily necessities are not very high.
What was really expensive were the instruments of war, especially ship-borne artillery and black powder shells.
But there is a reason why they are expensive. Not only are they unique, but they are also powerful enough.
The two are not on the same level at all.
One side is prospering and it is basically expected to dominate the entire East China Sea.
On the other hand, the sun is setting on the horizon, and they have no idea where their future will lead.
It is normal for people who are in it to choose the former for their own future.
This situation directly shook the foundation of the East China Sea State, forcing Stubin to adopt high-pressure and terror policies to suppress defectors.
However, this will only cure the symptoms but not the root cause. If they don't reverse the situation as soon as possible, it will be a matter of time before they are torn apart by the mercenary fleet led by Shia Moore.
This situation was basically predicted when the leader of the Yongye Army adopted the mercenary strategy. This was still a setback in policy, but it was not a big surprise.
With the mercenary fleet to contain the East China Sea Kingdom on the sea, the Yongye Army leader can carry out larger-scale development on the Donau Plain and practice his internal strength crazily.
Only with strong enough skills, external moves like mercenary fleet can show their maximum power.
Because the Yongye Army has done enough propaganda with the East China Sea Kingdom, all the people in the territory have clearly realized that they have eradicated the biggest threat in the Donau Plain, and it has become a fertile land full of wealth.
In addition, in the follow-up publicity, the Yongye Army leaders not only praised and publicized the soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front line, but also established a hero village to collect heroes from the people, and gave them sufficient merits and commendations, which greatly stimulated the leaders.
The people took the initiative to join the great development of the Donau Plain.
A new round of enthusiasm for building houses and villages, reclaiming wasteland, and building a port city has set off on the Donau Plain.
I believe that it won't be long before the eyes of these territorial residents are no longer limited to the Donau Plain, but will also look to the vast East China Sea.
There are abundant seafood resources here, which will greatly supplement the diet of the Yongye Army Leader.
The more complete the recipe, the more food channels there are, and the less likely it will be affected by one side.
Food is the most important thing for the people.
Except for the corpses led by Narentoya, there is no need to think about food.
No force can do without food, and the more chaotic the era, the more so.
As long as you have enough food, it means you have one of the keys to the final victory.
The leaders of the Yongye Army are very aware of this from top to bottom, so the more chaotic the situation outside is, the more attention they will pay to the development of the Dunau Plain, the greater the investment, and the faster the development will be.
The biggest difficulty in the development of the Donau Plain is undoubtedly the magic energy pollution left by the God of Death in the territory of the Klein tribe.
Although it is ignored, nature will heal this land, even if the magic concentration of the entire environment is increasing, but the healing speed is very slow, at least compared to human lifespan, it is very slow.
The leader of the Yongye Army could not ignore such a large area of his core hinterland.
Fortunately, they are now different from what they used to be. What was an extremely difficult incident at the time now has a more mature plan.
Holy Emblem is an excellent means to deal with this negative magical energy.
Of course, the Eternal Night Army Leader would not do such an inefficient thing. They have another option - the energy reactor.
The operating principle of the energy reactor is to absorb magic energy and transform it into energy that humans can control.
All spell energy is within the range it can absorb, including of course the death spell energy.
No matter how its properties change, it is still essentially a type of energy.
But when he started building the energy reactor, Sean discovered that there was a deeper reason why the magic energy pollution in the territory of the Klein tribe had not been eliminated.
The cause of the disaster is not out of nowhere, but out of the cone-shaped pit where the God of Death has sealed himself.
When the God of Death sealed himself here, it was not a random choice.
This is clearly an unstable plane node.
Although this plane node is not directly connected to other planes like the one in Shadow City, it is also inextricably linked to the shadow plane.
When the God of Death chose this place to seal himself, the purpose seemed to be to rely on the power penetrating from the shadow plane to prevent himself from weakening too much when the magic energy was most exhausted.
The God of Death uses this to continue his own vitality, which may be a kind of suppression of this plane node to prevent it from causing additional troubles.
When the God of Death abandoned this place, the shadow power that penetrated from this plane node began to spread in the surrounding area, causing a considerable impact on the landscape and remaining flora and fauna here, causing varying degrees of shadowing.
This discovery is not a problem that can be solved by an energy reactor. Instead, a mage tower group is built directly around this plane node, which is to stabilize this plane node.
In fact, it is an in-depth study and application of it.
The research work of the plane research team headed by our ancestor, Chief Speaker Abner, has never stopped for a day.
They have not made much progress in difficult plane technologies such as plane gate magic array, plane teleportation, and plane positioning, but in the process of this research, they still have a lot of additional gains.
Shadow energy is one of them.
The gap between planes is both the isolation zone between them and the graveyard of all planes.
There, distance, time, space, everything is chaotic and chaotic, and the only real thing is energy - shadow energy.
Shadow energy should be regarded as a variant of magic energy, just like the death magic energy, but it has too many negative factors incorporated into it.
This negative factor is not just as simple as the human soul.
When the entire plane is destroyed, the chance of survival for the creatures in it is very slim. What kind of despair and fear is that?
This kind of invisible despair and fear, when gathered in too many quantities, may even affect the nature of energy.
Of course, this is all human interpretation, and it is not yet known whether it is correct or not.
But one thing is certain, the shadow energy in the shadow plane actually exists and can be used like magic energy, which is enough.
