In terms of combat effectiveness, every prisoner of the Heavenly Sword Sect, or the current citizens of Jiuyou, is actually a qualified warrior.
With a little training, they can participate in battles and possess strong combat effectiveness. All the Elanshir Empire needs to do is find a way to arm these two million people.
However, it now seems that these "ready-made" combat forces are unwilling to join the Elanshir Empire's military expansion and war preparations.
On the one hand, they did experience a catastrophic defeat just six months ago, had serious anti-war sentiments and lost confidence in their combat effectiveness.
On the other hand, these people who surrendered from the Heavenly Sword Sect have not yet had time to fully integrate themselves into the system of the Airanhill Empire.
To put it bluntly, although it is a bit embarrassing, they do not regard themselves as people from Elanthir, even if the magic crystals they use for practice every day are provided free of charge by the Elantyr Empire.
Some people can ignore the favors they have received, but Lu Wuyue cannot but consider them. Her sword practice is to move forward bravely, and her sword practice is to not owe each other.
Sighing, Lu Wuyue looked at the silent Great Elder Feng Xiaoqing who was sitting in the front seat, and said, "I'd better take someone there! Besides, 30,000 is too little. Logically speaking,
, even if there are 300,000 swordsmen, it is actually not too much..."
"I know what you are thinking, Wuyue." Feng Xiaoqing said to Lu Wuyue with some helplessness: "We have been recuperating, which is actually in the interests of the Airanhill Empire, but now it seems that the empire has encountered a problem
Trouble, we really should do something for the empire."
"So I brought people to help!" The third elder said: "First elder, don't worry! Even if something happens to me, I will not embarrass the Jiuyou Sect!"
Seeing the decisive look of the third elder, Mrs. Han, the second elder, complained angrily: "After so many years of hiding and escaping, I finally exchanged for half a year of good life, but in the end I am going to start a wandering life again?"
Lu Wuyue knew that the second elder had the idea of escaping incognito again. Before she could say anything else, the first elder Feng Xiaoqing said: "Escape can't solve the problem. In the past, there was me.
With the Cambridge Method, we still have the option of escaping, so where can we escape now?"
"So we can only fight!" Lu Wuyue said: "In the past, we escaped for ourselves and our beliefs. Now, we should repay the love of the Ailan Hill Empire for its protection and fight for them!"
"We should indeed help, but we need to think carefully about how to help." Feng Xiaoqing said to Lu Wuyue: "If you make decisions indiscriminately, it will not help the empire, but will cause chaos to the empire."
"First of all, if we transfer too many old people from Jiuyou, then among the remaining people, those with evil thoughts will start to get ready to take action." Feng Xiaoqing said: "So, how many Jiuyou disciples are transferred, is one
It’s a question worth studying.”
"If there is any trouble on Jiuyou Planet, the empire must devote some energy to deal with it. This is not helping, but adding to the chaos." He said while looking at the third elder: "We only have 3,000 disciples in total. You can lead
If you walk a third of the way, there might be trouble."
"Then... what should we do?" Lu Wuyue felt that it didn't matter if she went to help herself, even if she died in battle, but if she really couldn't help and still wanted to cause trouble, that would be really inappropriate.
"I just had a phone call with His Majesty Chris, and he gave a better opinion." Feng Xiaoqing said.
"Great Elder, you told me earlier! Now that we have a way, we can just do it according to their way." The third elder said with a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that he was afraid of death, or that he was unwilling to take people out to fight. The main reason he breathed a sigh of relief was that he couldn't think of a better way to solve the problem in front of him.
"Okay, let's look at the empire's opinion and let's discuss how to operate." Mrs. Han, the second elder, put away her thoughts of running away and said.
"His Majesty the Emperor's intention is to recruit mainly prisoners of the Heavenly Sword Sect on a voluntary basis... and mix them into the second-line troops to participate in training first." Feng Xiaoqing told Chris's plan: "In this way, they will also
It won’t be too offensive, and it’s also suitable to enhance the sense of belonging of these captives.”
"What a shame. In the end, we have to ask His Majesty Chris for help to deal with these guys from the Heavenly Sword Sect." The third elder felt very embarrassed when he heard what Feng Xiaoqing said.
Originally, they were supposed to fulfill their promise and serve the empire. But now, they still need the empire's understanding. Even they themselves feel embarrassed, let alone what the empire thinks.
It is estimated that except for His Majesty the Emperor of the Airanhill Empire who may still be patient, the rest of the senior officials are very dissatisfied with them.
"If we were one-tenth as ruthless as they were back then, they should be honest now." The fourth elder snorted.
"What are you afraid of!" The Fifth Elder squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Wuyue, and said half jokingly, half seriously: "In the worst case, our saint will marry the emperor and become his concubine, just like the elves and demons...
Isn’t this debt of gratitude repaid?”
Lu Wuyue's face turned slightly red and she didn't speak. She had such a temperament that she didn't know how to explain anything. She usually just used actions to express her thoughts.
However, everyone knew that Lu Wuyue did not refute or express his dissatisfaction, which actually made his attitude clear.
If she really didn't have this idea, then when the fifth elder teased her, her reaction would probably have been anger instead of blushing.
"Don't think about this kind of thing yet." Although Feng Xiaoqing has turned into a puppet robot, he is still mature and naturally knows that Lu Wuyue's "big kindness cannot be repaid, and the little girl is prepared to pledge herself to him."
Idea.
But he also knew that sending a woman to Chris at this time was a bit like selling his daughter - if he really couldn't pay off the debt, how about using his daughter to pay off the debt?
Take a look at His Majesty's current concubines. In fact, each one has a deep background. Behind each one is a large group of people, representing the interests of a group.
Aricia is a demon, Andrea is an elf, Vivian represents the magic group, Jessica is the spokesperson for mortals, and Luna has a military background...
If Lu Wuyue marries Chris, who can she represent? Represent Jiuyou? After all, on the current Jiuyou planet, less than one-fifth of the people stand firmly behind Lu Wuyue.
For such an imperial concubine with no power or foundation, Lu Wuyue might not be able to gain a firm foothold in the royal family of the empire except as a servant.
As for the matter of Israel serving people... Feng Xiaoqing looked at Lu Wuyue and sighed slightly in his heart.
Andrea and Arisia are really beautiful. Apart from Lu Wuyue's unique temperament, she is really not as good-looking as those two "goblins".
Therefore, whether it is Lu Wuyue or Feng Xiaoqing, they all know that "entering the palace to serve in bed" is not as good as "going into battle to kill the enemy" to win the respect of others.
"Since the empire wants us to do this, then we will act according to the empire's ideas! I will be the first to sign up!" Lu Wuyue said, and his tone could not be changed.
Her stubbornness is actually obvious to everyone, and it is precisely because of this stubbornness that she has become the strongest being among the younger generation in the Jiuyou Sect at such a young age.
It is precisely because of her character and her cultivation path that she has the possibility to succeed Feng Xiaoqing and become the new leader of the Jiuyou Sect!
"Your cultivation has increased again..." The second elder said with some surprise when he saw Ruo Wuyue's aura emanating from her body.
The Great Elder Feng Xiaoqing was already a puppet. He no longer had keen perception, so he could not see the changes in Lu Wuyue. When he heard what the second elder said, he looked at Lu Wuyue in surprise and wanted to ask the second elder to prove it.
words.
Lu Wuyue nodded slightly and said, "I have reached the bottleneck! If I can take that step, I can master the Cambridge Method!"
"It's us who delayed you!" Feng Xiaoqing sighed, his words full of love and guilt for his descendants.
He knew that if the Jiuyou Sect could have provided Lu Wuyue with sufficient training resources earlier, with Lu Wuyue's qualifications, she might have reached the level of cultivation she is now.
Unfortunately, the homeless living conditions and the embarrassing environment lacking sufficient cultivation resources have slowed down Lu Wuyue's cultivation speed.
As a result, just half a year after settling down, with the nearly unlimited spiritual stone resources provided by the Ailan Hill Empire, Lu Wuyue made rapid progress across two levels, raising his cultivation level to a level even stronger than that of the second elder.
.
"In that case, let the saint Lu Wuyue take the swordsmen who volunteer to fight and join the imperial army together to serve the country." Feng Xiaoqing made a decision and said to Lu Wuyue.
…
A startlingly huge figure is slowly disconnecting from the giant star ring in the capital of the Ilanhir Empire, the famous Maurice Military Port Dockyard.
This super huge figure is in the shape of a diamond as a whole, with a sharp front and a slightly thicker rear. The huge white diamond-shaped hull is stacked with five twin-mounted magic laser cannon turrets.
Behind the turret is the slightly taller command bridge. On both sides and above the bridge are various types of detection sensors.
Directly in front of the super huge diamond-shaped hull and under the sharp bow, there is a huge circular energy transmitting device.
That is the most powerful weapon of the Airansil Empire so far - the Star Destroyer Cannon! This giant cannon can gather energy together and burst out with terrifying power in an instant. According to computer simulation results, it can destroy a planet.
It is a veritable star destroyer cannon.
The spacecraft is equipped with twenty fusion reactors, which provide energy for main guns, thrusters and other equipment. If the ten huge main thrusters are started at the same time, they can provide the battleship with an ultra-high speed that is not inferior to that of a cruiser.
The huge hull can accommodate 350 crew members and 9,000 puppet robots to assist the work. There are nearly 10,000 cabins for various purposes inside, with a total of 25 floors on the upper and lower decks, which is comparable to a small town.
The main armor belt of the entire battleship is made of several meters thick ferrotitanium alloy steel plates, and new synthetic materials are also laid on the outside.
It can be said that relying solely on this main armor belt, the defense level of the entire battleship can be a little proud.
Strengthening defense is also a valuable war experience left to the Elanshir Empire by the Battle of Higgs 5.
In response to the problem of insufficient defense of destroyers, the Airansil Empire carried out new weaponry innovations.
The first is a temporary modification, which strengthens the forward armor of the existing exploration level 2 destroyer, updates the active defense system of the battleship, and strengthens the magic defense barrier.
At the same time, the Violence-class cruisers have also been upgraded and their defenses have also been strengthened. As for the new Violence-class cruisers, all production has been discontinued in favor of the more powerful and advanced Violence-class 2 space cruisers.
After half a year of hard work, the number of battleships in Genesis' hands can already be described as considerable - five Invincible-class battleships, thirty Violent-class II cruisers, and hundreds of modified Violent-class cruisers!
The entire fleet is now basically concentrated in the core area of the empire. The plan of the Elanshir Empire is to wait until the number of Invincible-class battleships reaches 100 before heading to the Higgs area to set up defenses.
The performance of the new Invincible-class battleship is almost perfect, so it has high hopes and is named the Invincible-class. It can be said that its only drawback is that it is expensive.
The cost of building such a warship is almost as high as the cost of arming the entire army of the Airanhill Empire. Of course, in terms of combat power, this warship is definitely worthy of its high cost!
With the efforts of more than 70 attitude adjustment engines working simultaneously on the side, this gray-white battleship slowly turned its hull in the sea of stars and pointed its bow towards the distant route.
"No. 006 Invincible-class battleship begins testing!" The captain sitting at the front of the bridge, wearing his big-brimmed hat slightly tilted, loudly ordered to the men in front of him.
"Weapon system test begins! Program self-test!" a puppet robot reported.
Not far away, another robot also shouted loudly: "The air pressure system test begins! The program starts self-test!"
"Everything is normal with the simulated gravity system!" The entire bridge began to become noisy, and busy figures could be seen at every post.
The person in charge of the power system is a Fox crew member. Her voice is a bit rough. If you don't listen carefully, you can't even tell it's a woman's voice: "The power system is working normally, and the thrust is maintained at 75%!"
Accompanied by these rising and falling sounds, and the distant pilot spacecraft gradually accelerating, the battleship left Morris Military Port and flew towards the distant sea of stars.
