Chapter 205: The Plan for Fighting (Part II)
Aini looked at Salin's thoughtful look. "You don't really look like a magician. ”
"You don't feel like that either. Saleen finished speaking, and both of them laughed. Salin thought to himself, since Ani resumed his status as a magician, his temperament was less extreme, but he was better along. And what he learned in his family is something he has never been exposed to. He learned the art of empire from Rex, and Ani, who has the advantages of being a merchant and a middle nobleman, and is a magician, can help him a lot.
Aini also sighed that when his strength improved by leaps and bounds, there was no longer any concept of winning or losing. After all, Ani is also a pure magician, and his greatest pleasure is to study magic. It's just that if you want to practice magic, you can't do it if you lack money, and although a necromancer saves more than an elemental mage, it can't save much. So Aini came up with this method, if he paid for it, he wouldn't have to spend too much time and energy to worry about these things, and Salen was in charge of training, and he also relied on his men. The real trouble is the Roland family, which has to recruit a large number of low-level mercenaries from foreign countries.
The investment in this cannot be said to be small, but the benefits of 20% are enough.
Salin said to Aini: "This matter is not what you think, I already have a new plan." This city only retains the establishment of two battalions, and all the armies needed for expansion in the future will be formed into a mercenary mode, and I will modify the mercenary rules on the mainland and establish my own mercenary system. ”
"What? Salin, you're not confused, the existing mercenary system is very good, the investment is not large, but it can bring huge profits, you need to modify, it will take a lot of time, and it may not be suitable. Aini immediately objected.
"Aini, have you ever seen a professional army? mercenaries are a bunch of ruffians compared to them. On the real battlefield, it is not the mercenaries who decide the victory. ”
"How is it possible, Scochenya's ninth-level mercenary group, even if it is the elite of the empire, may not dare to say that it will definitely be able to defeat. ”
"The number of mercenaries registered in Scochenia is more than a million, and the establishment of a ninth-level mercenary group is 10,000. In fact, the number of Dragons and Roses mercenaries stationed in southeast Skociana was 20,000, but 10,000 of them were the main force, and the other 10,000 were equivalent to auxiliary soldiers in the regular army. Even those auxiliaries. They are also the elite of the mercenaries. Dragons and Roses were not built on the basis of ordinary mercenaries at all. In addition to asking these mercenaries to make me money, I also have to rely on them to guard the city, and it is impossible to manage it according to the Scochenian method. ”
"Salin, so you've thought about it a long time ago. When Ani heard Saline say this, she realized that even if she didn't mention it, Sareen would start to build mercenaries.
"Yes, I've written twenty-four mercenary rules, brand new rules, so I only need the lowest mercenaries, and only newbies. Those old fellows, all shrewd to death, are also afraid of death, and have no way to train, let alone loyal. ”
"It's a nuisance. ”
"It's okay, when Rex comes back, the first flag regiment will be established, and she has enough men anyway. ”
"You sent someone to pick her up, but there is no news yet, I don't know ......"
"She's a sixth-level magician, stronger than you and me, and she has ...... by her side" Salin didn't say anything about a powerful assassin on Rex's side. The combat power of this assassin is estimated to be no less than that of a seventh-level magician, and the killing of the Silver Sword Saint was a fatal blow to Byrne, so that the Silver Sword Saint could not even escape.
"Then you tell me the truth, how much does it cost? I don't even have a million gold coins on hand right now. Aini asked worriedly.
"As for money, you can cash it in kind, I need food, as long as the Clyde family can bring a large amount of food, I will calculate it for you at the market price. ”
Aini smiled bitterly: "There is food, but the north is already in chaos, how can I transport it to you?"
Salin pondered for a moment and said, "I don't need you to bring it, I'll let Neris take the dimensional stone, no matter how much." ”
Salin now has twenty-seven dimensional stones in his hands, and if he holds food, he won't need so much at all.
"Nellis...... Is she alone?"
"I'll let Zola and the Warcraft swordsmen follow, and the three kings in the city will be left. In addition, I also sent two fourth-level magicians to follow, as long as I don't encounter the mage groups of those countries in the East China Sea, there will be no problem. ”
"I listen to you, there is too much money to invest, and you are not afraid that you will not be able to get back your capital?"
"Aini, this time I went to the Frozen Sea, and I got a large number of magic materials, which can be used to refine magic armor. Now that the iron ore is in hand, it is not a problem to make weapons. You have a professional in your family, so you should be able to help me solve it. ”
"Actually, you can look to Elaine for this matter, the Williams family's strength in making weapons. ”
"Oh, Aini, that's not your style. ”
"For the time being, we can't leave her and give her some benefits. There will be more people coming to help you. If I did it for you, you'd keep the price very low, and I don't want to take up too much money on it. ”
"Well, I don't have much money. ”
"Salin, I can't sleep anyway, tell me, what are your plans?" Aini pushed this errand out, it is true that he does not want to occupy too much energy in the manufacture of weapons, although the profits in this are high, but Saleen himself will have his independent alchemy factory sooner or later, which is not a long-term benefit.
"Ordinary mercenary regiments, there is no professional division of labor, a soldier can do everything, even if he is a swordsman, he may not be able to do everything, so it is a waste. The mercenary group does not have auxiliaries, and the elite also has to be distracted to do a lot of things, which is an obstacle to training. I want my mercenaries to be no different from regular troops. ”
"That's too big, isn't it?"
"No, the nobles who hire mercenaries will not hire 10,000 people at a time, most of them will hire hundreds of people, and if it is a large-scale battle, they will also hire mercenaries in batches with the flag group as a unit. There is absolutely no way to hire one battalion at a time. Therefore, my mercenary regiment is also based on the flag regiment, there is no camp, and every ten flag regiments are commanded by a general. ”
Aini understood as soon as he heard it, in fact, this is to cancel the level of the mercenary group, so that the mercenary group can solve any level of business. For small tasks, only one flag leader is needed, and for large tasks, multiple flag groups can be cooperated.
But in this case, the professional union was bypassed, and Ani was a little worried.
Salin knew what Aini was thinking. Said: "If you have any opinions, you can go to Rexti." Rex is the king of the county, and in her county, what she says is the law. Our mercenary group was originally there to protect themselves, but because they wanted to save costs, they took on the mission, and it was useless for the professional union to make things difficult for us, and we didn't need their support. ”
"But what about the Rolands? they're the ones who pull the strings. ”
"I've got two percent of the profits, and I still care about that?"
"Salin, your money is really hard to earn, but fortunately I didn't promise to make you a weapon. ”
Salin smiled and said, "If I don't do that, how can I tie up the people of the Roland family?"
"Salin, don't cheat me, I don't have many friends, and the person who introduced you to you, you can't be like Elaine. When Aini heard this, she immediately became nervous.
"Aini, I'm working with Rex, what do you think Rex would think if the people of the Roland family didn't sincerely work with me?" He was business-savvy, but not too sensitive to the matter.
"So you might as well suffer a little loss from me, so that Rex will trust you. Salin continued.
"Hmph, I don't need her trust either, I'm a magician, and you really think of me as a businessman?" said Ani dissatisfied.
"What about magicians, do you know what magic will be when you cultivate to the end?"
Aini didn't understand why Saleen suddenly said this, but shook her head slightly. Salin said: "I am Holy Rock City, and I have met a terrifying magician, this person, must have exceeded the ninth level. ”
"What? there are still people like this on the continent!" Aini was genuinely surprised, and for the first time his face showed an uncontrollable expression, as if he had been burned by magic.
"This person. Took good care of Rex's. ”
Aini was a little in a daze, he had always thought that there was only a ninth-level magician left among the highest-level magicians on the continent, but he didn't expect that there would be an existence beyond the ninth-level who lived in Holy Rock City. What is the concept of transcending the ninth level? It is a mage who can continuously release forbidden spells without worrying about a period of weakness.
The flight speed of the ninth-level magician has made the fastest flying birds unable to catch up, once it exceeds the ninth level, the understanding and control of the elements immediately undergo earth-shaking changes, at that time, such a strong person can no longer be called a magician, but called a law god.
"Aini, when Rex comes back, you should be respectful of her. After all, she's stronger than us for the time being, and she's not a bad person. ”
Aini nodded blankly, and after a while, he asked, "So, what will be the end of magic cultivation?"
"I don't know, if you see that person one day, you can ask him in person. ”
"How could someone like that be in the mood to answer my question. Ani said deflated. Although he had his pride, he was not arrogant, and his goal was only a ninth-level mage, and he never thought of crossing this threshold. He wasted some time as a teenager, which had already affected his practice in magic. He knew all of this, so Aini was much calmer now than before.
The most troublesome thing is that he does not have a complete inheritance. To learn necromantic magic, you also need the guidance of a teacher, and either there are a few powerful undead who can drive or a strong one.
"Forget it, don't talk about this, I'll discuss the equipment with you. ”
"Equipment?"
"Yes, I used most of the magic cores I got in the Frozen Sea this time, and I definitely can't sell them for money, and I have to use the rest myself. But those carapaces of Warcraft, I have some eyebrows to use, and your family is also proficient in making weapons, I want you to give me some advice. ”
