Chapter 153: Buying People's Hearts
The teleportation array in the territory was indeed destroyed, but in fact, the damage was not serious, and a silver-level rookie like the Water Blue Mage would definitely not be able to repair it, and she did not control the relevant alchemy knowledge at all.
But Aladdin is different, a former god-level alchemist. Even if the life level is sealed, there is still a lot of relevant knowledge, and at least repairing a teleportation array is not too much of a problem.
Especially this teleportation array, which he deliberately sabotaged, made it easier to repair.
In just a few hours, Aladdin completed the repair of the teleportation array.
Subsequently, Lord Doug also fulfilled his promise and handed over the magic contracts of all the troops to the barrage hime, and then fled in the teleportation array.
At this point, a battle that should have been vigorous came to an end, and Emperor Shi Tian annihilated 6,000 knights at the cost of zero casualties, harvested more than 100 mage regiments, and 30,000 infantry.
Of course, Emperor Shi Tian also paid the price of a castle, but did he care? At the beginning, it only took him a few days to build this castle, and now if he rebuilds it, he doesn't even need to do it himself, as long as the earth monks move casually, they can build bigger and better.
So in general, Emperor Shitian's real loss this time was only some shells, and the rest was pure gain.
It doesn't matter if the rest is the same, but the key is that this mage regiment is definitely a rare unit and class.
Although Emperor Shi Tian has already had a 500-person rune mage group, in fact, the rune mage of the gray dwarf cannot be regarded as a real mage, but can only be regarded as half a mage.
Although they can manipulate the words of runes to release some spells, they are limited in strength and quantity, especially the types of spells, which are seriously affected.
And the real mage is different, for example, this mage group, although there are only about a hundred people, but the earth, wind, water, fire, all the mages of all departments.
It also means that you can collectively cast the spells of these four systems, and neither the type nor the strength can be compared with the dwarven mage group.
One of the most important reasons is that the dwarven mage group has no way to cast spells collectively, they will not use the magic array system of joint spellcasting, they can only fight separately, and their combat effectiveness is naturally much lower.
In fact, don't look at the four times more gray dwarf mage groups, but if they really fight, they may not be able to defeat these 100 mages.
Especially when there is also a silver-level mage, in the presence of water blue.
It wasn't until Shui Lan surrendered that Emperor Shi Tian was pleasantly surprised to find that Shui Lan was not an ordinary water mage, but a rare water phantom mage, specializing in phantom spells.
Shui Lan's best spell is to create an illusion army, which can be modeled on dozens and hundreds of troops, and can create ten times more illusion troops.
These illusion units are lifelike, and although they have no offensive power, they can play an extremely important role in warfare.
For example, during the siege of the city, it seems that ten thousand troops are in unison, but in fact only a thousand people are real.
Then the long-range firepower of the defending troops is equivalent to weakening 9/10 at once, and most of the long-range attack power is wasted on illusions, which creates extremely powerful conditions for the real troops.
In addition, the same is true in field battles, when the other party suddenly saw 5,000 cavalry killing, and in a panic, he must hurry to deal with it.
Whether it's bombarding with spells, or sending troops of equal combat power to deal with it, it's actually a great waste.
Because only a few hundred of the 5,000 cavalry are real, and the others are illusions.
And the water blue mage can rely on the power of the mage group to create several such illusion legions in a row, plus a real illusion legion, which can make the opponent at a loss at once.
Don't think that illusions are fragile, they can be spotted with just a few attacks, and then they can be easily dealt with.
Actually, what's really disgusting about the Phantom Legion is that you don't know the ratio of the Phantom to the real troops.
Sometimes 5,000 troops come over, and you cover the past with a rain of arrows, and find that most of the vanguard troops are illusions, and then you relax your vigilance, but you don't expect that only the vanguard troops are mostly illusions, and the troops behind are basically actual troops, so you will suffer a big loss.
And the Phantom Legion also has a feature, which can be lost at any time and created at any time, so you have no way to count how many are illusions and how many are real troops.
All in all, there's no good way to really take the Legion of Illusions unless you're using a wide range of dispel spells.
But the problem is that the area of the Phantom Legion is so large that each legion can be divided into hundreds of kilometers at every turn.
If you want to use such a wide range of dispel spells, the magic power consumed is several times higher than that of the Phantom Legion, which is obviously a great loss.
And once there are not enough mage regiments to eliminate the influence of the illusion troops, then in the field, it is easy to suffer a big loss.
To tell the truth, after Emperor Shi Tian read Shui Lan's personal information, he was also afraid for a while, but fortunately he didn't fight with them on impulse.
If this is encountered in the wild, the number of the opponent's troops will suddenly increase several times, and Emperor Shi Tian will definitely be in a hurry under the haste of Emperor Shitian, and maybe he will capsize in the gutter, but he will be beaten by the other party.
In fact, Emperor Shi Tian didn't pay much attention to Master Shui Lan, and even wanted to turn her into a beauty who warmed his bed.
If she dared to disagree and kill her, she would have made a wise choice.
But after seeing that Shui Lan was so useful, Emperor Shi Tian directly put away his dirty thoughts, entertained Shui Lan and the others very seriously, and gave them generous treatment.
Of course, sleeping with the bed, this kind of thing is not even mentioned.
It is true that Emperor Shi Tian is a pervert, but he is not a faint king, and he still has great respect for those beauties who are of great use.
Master Shui Lan thought that this time the sheep was in the mouth of the tiger, I was afraid that his innocence would be guaranteed. The result is not at all like that, although Emperor Shi Tian's eyes will glow with lust from time to time, but people do things very atmospherically, so people can't find the slightest fault.
Whether it's a polite greeting or a generous reward for a lot of things, it's all with sincerity.
Not only did he not have the slightest intention of persecuting Shui Lan, but instead gave her full respect and trust, at least in terms of treatment, even surpassing Lord Doug.
All mages' alchemy carriages are kept and repaired, and each mage also gets ten Mad Iron Dogs as close guards.
This is too rare, and mages are most afraid of being approached. And with these ten crazy iron dogs, when they are used as meat shields, they can be protected from both long-range and short-range attacks.
The most important thing is that Crazy Iron Dog can also be used as a mount.
This greatly increases the mobility of the mages, and if they can't fight, they can also ride a crazy iron dog to escape.
And ten were given in one breath, and this time, the mages had a lot more choices, such as those who opened the way, those who were mounted, those who were close to protecting, and those who were broken.
These ten crazy iron dogs alone have more than doubled the level of all mages.
Not only that, but Emperor Shi Tian also showed them the Demon Pattern Pig.
Although these demonic pigs are still small, they only grow to a few hundred kilograms, and they still have about two years to mature.
But for the mages here, is this time called time? Who can't wait two years?
Emperor Shakti made a solemn promise to them, as long as the mages did their best to him and obeyed orders, then when these demonic pigs matured, they would give each of them one.
This means that each mage can get their own silver magic book.
You know, the magic book is one of the most important treasures for mages.
Mages with magic books and without magic books are definitely two kinds of magicians, even if they are only bronze level mages now, but with the silver magic book, their combat power can also be raised to the level of silver level.
What's more, Emperor Shi also provided more and better daily consumer goods.
Anyway, with a comprehensive large-scale alchemy ranch, Emperor Shi Tian now has everything he wants, red wine, all kinds of domestic animals, everything. Naturally, it should be given priority to the members of the mage group, and the daily ration should exceed that of Lord Doug by more than fifty percent.
The mages are delicate and enjoy themselves, and they are naturally extremely satisfied with the improvement in the quality and quantity of food and drink.
In this way, ten dogs, a pig, and some wine and meat directly bought all the mages.
As the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison, since Emperor Shi Tian gave them such a good treatment, how could they think about Lord Doug anymore?
I'm afraid it's time to let them go back, and they won't go back.
This even includes the Aqua Blue Mage, who doesn't look down on Crazy Iron Dog and Demon Pig, but she can't resist the temptation of knowledge.
In fact, no mage can refuse knowledge of magic.
Therefore, when Emperor Shi Tian allowed Master Shui Lan to get some magical knowledge from Aladdin, she was instantly degraded, followed the new master with an iron heart, and directly abandoned Lord Doug.
The reason why Emperor Shi Tian came up with such good conditions to entertain the mage group was because this kind of highly intelligent army was not so easy to subdue.
Even if you have their magic contract, you can force them to carry out the order, but it may not get the best results.
They must be willing, even take the initiative to think about you, and sacrifice for you, so that they can exert their most powerful combat effectiveness.
According to the little angel, highly intelligent classes have a loyalty setting, and if you are very bad at others, it will make the loyalty very low, and even there will be a situation of disobedience.
Emperor Shi Tian didn't want to let the most powerful force in his hands be abolished like this, so he did not hesitate to take out the means to win the hearts of the people when he was the emperor, and did his best to entertain these guys.
As a result, the effect is outstanding, and Emperor Shi Tian can clearly feel through the line of belief that these people have recognized themselves from the heart, although they have not yet reached the level of loyalty, but they are already willing to take the initiative to work for themselves in exchange for better treatment.
