Morris' concerns were obviously reasonable. It hadn't been long since he formally surrendered to Yun Xiaohan. Under such circumstances, forcing him to go to Sili Island would only alienate him, so Yun Xiaohan could only give up the option of Morris.
Since Morris couldn't go, Yun Xiaohan wanted to choose another follower, Charlie John, but a very embarrassing thing happened. Charlie John couldn't go either. He and Plath were presiding over the upgrade of the Magic Workshop.
Can't leave.
However, the upgrade of the Magic Workshop only takes one week. When the upgrade of the Magic Workshop is completed next week, Charlie John will be able to go there. Then he can just replace it with an official NPC in Seely Island.
After two consecutive candidates failed to make the trip, Yun Xiaohan chose Parolo next, and he had no problem. After receiving Yun Xiaohan's instructions, he immediately expressed his willingness to go to Xili Island.
The fourth candidate, Yun Xiaohan, chose Yin Mo, but was rejected for the third time. Yin Mo said that he was not strong enough yet and wanted to enrich himself first. Only when he grows up can he serve Yun Xiaohan better.
Serve.
The words were very beautiful, but in fact Yun Xiaohan was also mentally prepared for this. Mo's original request to stay in Ajaccio was just for the library here, and now he was suddenly asked to leave Ajaccio. Mo would definitely not accept it.
I do.
This kind of thing must not be forced. Since he was rejected, Yun Xiaohan could only find someone else.
At this time, Yun Xiaohan didn't have many choices. After some consideration, he chose Insigne from Ivas City.
Insigne has three talents, namely [Mountain Training], [Mountain Warfare Expert] and [Love Soldiers Like Sons]. Since Sili Island is mainly composed of plains and woodlands, with few mountains and hilly terrain, Yun Xiaohan, a mountain soldier, is
If you don't plan to bring it, Insigne's first two talents will naturally be useless.
But Insigne's abilities are quite good and comprehensive. In addition to his political and diplomatic potential, which is only half a star, his personal combat potential is 6 stars, his army command potential is 7 stars, his management and leadership potential is 6 stars, and his navy command potential is 4 stars, which is very good.
Excellent general.
After all, the strategy of conquering Sili Island is a long-term mission. It does not end with just one battle. It also requires leading troops. Maybe all players can lead them. In this case, the ability to command troops is naturally more useful than individual combat effectiveness.
What's more important is that Insigne has high potential. The system's introduction to him clearly states: "Insigne has a keen sense of smell on the battlefield and is good at learning. He is very famous throughout the southern region and is regarded by many people.
Seeds for a new generation of famous generals.”
Insigne has been staying in Ivas City and has not had much opportunity to practice. Now taking Insigne to Siri Island can be regarded as training for him.
Moreover, his talent [Love Soldiers Like Sons] will also affect his command style to some extent. Compared with other official NPCs, Insigne will consider his soldiers more and reduce their casualties.
This command style may be a double-edged sword in a battle that must be won in a short period of time, but in the Sili Island strategy that does not require too many casualties, it is a solid advantage.
After Insigne also agreed to go to Sili Island, only the last candidate was left. At this time, Yun Xiaohan had two choices, namely Basso and Emmanuelle.
Basso's advantage lies in his personal combat potential of 7 stars, and his profession is a mage. His combat power is much better than Emanuele's personal combat potential of only 6 stars, but his disadvantage is that his army and navy command potential are only three and a half stars, while Emanuelle's
Both the army and navy have five-star command potential, with the latter having significantly stronger command capabilities.
Looking at talents again, Basso's talent is [Intermediate Magic Attack Command], which can command the mage troops to carry out spell coverage attacks during war, and enhance the power of spells by 20%. This is a very powerful talent in itself, but the problem is that it is not available now.
The organic mage soldiers were brought to Basuo, so there were several mage soldiers in Yun Xiaohan's private army.
There are quite a few mages among the players, but on the one hand, it is not clear whether [Intermediate Magic Attack Command] can be effective on players. On the other hand, players can only fight in branch missions. Even if they can get together with Basso temporarily, there is no chance.
would be too much.
Emmanuelle's talent is [Amphibious Training], which can be trained to reduce the combat power reduction suffered by land combat units or water combat units in cross-water and land terrain by 30% (for example, it should be reduced by 50% originally, but with [Amphibious Training]
The impact is only reduced by 20%), and is ineffective against professional amphibian corps.
This [amphibious training] is actually quite restrictive, and Yun Xiaohan only understood the trick after testing it himself.
For example, the cavalry is a land combat unit. Even if the cavalry has poor adaptability in forests and mountains, because it is a land combat unit, switching to forests or even mountains does not count as crossing land and water, so it will not
Received the bonus of [Amphibious Training].
In other words, [Amphibious training] is only effective for land-to-water or water-to-land terrains. Terrains such as oceans, lakes, ships, rivers, coasts, shoals, swamps, and wetlands are considered water warfare terrains. Land warfare arms only have
Only on such terrain can you enjoy the bonus of [Amphibious Training].
Since Yun Xiaohan currently does not have a navy, the purpose of [Amphibious Training] is very narrow. However, considering that Xili Island is an island after all, with many coasts and shoals, and many rivers on the island, the role of [Amphibious Training] still needs to be
Higher than [Intermediate Magic Attack Command].
After such a comparison, it is clear who to choose, and Emmanuel is obviously more suitable than Basso.
Next is the selection of troops. 1,000 red shirts are mandatory, and then 400 cavalry, which adds up to 1,400 soldiers.
At this time, Yun Xiaohan remembered that he still had private soldiers and didn't know if he could choose. So he tried it and found that he could.
Yun Xiaohan currently has only 55 private soldiers in total. The upper limit of the number of private soldiers that players with palace titles can recruit is linked to their title. The upper limit of the number of private soldiers that players with field titles can recruit is linked to the population of the territory. Yun Xiaohan can theoretically recruit up to 1,150 private soldiers.
soldiers.
The salary of private soldiers of ordinary quality is not higher than that of regular soldiers. They are recruited in the city of Ajaccio, where the quality of soldiers is the best. The salary of a single regular soldier is 5 silver per day, and 100 is only 5 gold per day. It is also difficult to convert into a red shirt.
Only 10 silver per soldier per day, after calculating the halving effect of [Elf Dragon's Colorful Tail Feathers] salary, it is 2.5 silver and 5 silver.
Private soldiers are paid weekly, and they are also recruited in the city of Ajaccio. The weekly salary of a single private soldier is 20 silver, which is less than 3 silver a day on average.
Considering that the combat effectiveness of ordinary quality private soldiers is not necessarily stronger than that of regular soldiers, and private soldiers do not enjoy the halved salary effect of [Elf Dragon's Colorful Tail Feathers], this salary is quite reasonable.
However, private soldiers are capable of growth. After their quality is improved, their salary will also increase significantly. As long as they do not die many times during the training process, most private soldiers can at least be upgraded to good quality.
ps: There is a problem with the previous description of the talent [Amphibious Training] and it has been revised.
