Chapter 59: The Power of the Scroll (1)

Salin sat in his car. Emperor Qin Yin not only gave Princess Rex ten battalions of military power, but also directly granted a thousand swordsmen. Qin Yin's royal swordsmen, like the Holy Knights of the Holy Church, are both lifelong professions. Their birth, old age, sickness, death, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all under the responsibility of the state. The royal swordsmen's life exists for fighting.

No matter what his origin is, a swordsman, as long as he practices to the level of a great sword master (that is, a senior sword master), can become an intermediate officer and an ordinary sword master, and can be promoted to a low-level officer, and his children will be trained by the state. This is a huge temptation for many civilians.

However, the selection of Royal Swordsmen is extremely strict, and the number has been maintained below 100,000. In the past four hundred years, there has been almost no more than 50,000.

In addition to qualifications, loyalty to the empire is also very important. Often, the son of a royal swordsman can easily become the next generation of royal swordsman, and the chances of civilians are almost slim. Because many children of small nobles cannot obtain inheritance rights, loyalty to the royal family and becoming royal swordsman becomes a good way out.

Salin's chariot was specially designed for the wizard. Like Princess Rex's carriage, wind could be seen all around, and ten people could be ridden in the carriage. When the war officially went on, Rex could not let Salin and others in her carriage all arranged for protective soldiers.

For Salin, the treatment was pretty good. In addition to Shika and Neris, there were six more swordsmen in the car. One of them was the familiar Tinis Salin carriage, and a small team was arranged to protect one hundred swordsmen. Salin didn't know why his treatment was rapidly increasing, maybe it was related to Joey.

Ten combat mages followed behind in a car. Qin Yin's chariot was designed in an exquisite manner. When encountering an enemy, he could form a simple fortress. Even Yun Liu's monster swordsman was difficult to break through.

The 1,000 swordsmen brought by Rex have been transferred to Beizhen, and the scale of the Kushui Army will expand to 2,000 people, and the auxiliary soldiers will also have a number of nearly 3,000 people.

With such combat power, we are not afraid of the attacks of the nobles of Hadisa City. Emperor Qin Yin thought carefully that the elite of Hadisa City would not exceed 5,000 people, half of which were summoned by the emperor, leaving only 2,500 people. At least two thousand people were left to defend the city. The remaining 500 people would not pose a threat to the Kushui Army.

If there is an assassin, there is no need to worry. The assassin's combat power lies in hiding and bursting, but in the army, the assassin's role is very small, unless an assassin of the level like Byrne.

Salin did not expect Rex to hand over Tinis to him. Tinis is already a high-level swordsman, not very old, and looks less than thirty years old. Such a person will be Rex's arm in the future. Salin now knows the importance of swordsmen to magicians. He is not in a hurry to practice magic at this time, but chats with Tinis.

"Tinis, where have you been these years?"

"Yunliu." Tinis did not say a single word of nonsense, and his answer was extremely concise.

"Have you ever seen the Warcraft Swordsman?" Salin was not discouraged. He could always find a way to communicate with Tinis. Sure enough, when it comes to this, Tinis also said a little more.

"I have seen that Yun Liu has no place to fight horses, and there are a lot of war beast swordsmen."

"The swordsman is not a magician, how can he sign a contract with the monster?" Salin asked curiously.

"There is no need for a contract, just defeat the monster, so the monster swordsmen are not that scary. Their monsters are generally of low level."

Salin remembered the Silver Sword Saint who was captured by Rex's design. He was carrying only a level 6 monster around him, and he determined his thoughts in his heart. The contract is just a magic that acts on intelligent creatures. For low-level monsters, the contract is a waste of the magician's mental power.

No wonder magicians would rather create puppets than conquer monsters. Puppets do not need food and drink or care, and can be discarded at any time, but monsters are a living life and are troublesome to carry.

Qin Yin's regular army did not have infantry in the pure sense, and the infantry also had to ride horses and marched very fast. If battles were needed, a large number of magicians could bless thousands of cavalry to accelerate, so that the maneuverability of imperial cavalry exceeded that of any country.

Soon the army left the imperial capital and advanced northward. It was impossible for 100,000 people to move forward at the same time. The 10,000 troops of the vanguard battalion would at least 100 miles away, and then the large troops would be divided into three parts, each with 30,000 people, and finally 10,000 troops behind the palace were left.

Even ten thousand people will not gather together, and they will be divided into ten flag regiments. Two of the flag regiments are mage battalions, and 200 low-level mages will be arranged in them. These two flag regiments are the main force of the entire swordsman battalion, one of which is the support infantry and the other as a reserve team, and the cavalry organization.

The auxiliary soldiers affect the speed of the army. The auxiliary soldiers generally only have one war horse, and some even need to ride a car. This is not a problem in Qinyin territory, there are enough roads to choose from. If the roads are bumpy in the area where the city is sparse, the auxiliary soldiers will affect the speed of the entire army's advance.

But there is no way. When siegeing, the auxiliary soldiers are the vanguards, and the mortality rate is relatively high. No army will allow elite soldiers to siege the city in the first band. At the same time, the auxiliary soldiers are also responsible for serving war horses and swordsmen so that the elite troops can maintain high combat effectiveness.

The troops that went on this expedition can reach the border within a month, but it will also take a month to travel through Galoran. During this period, more nobles will respond to the emperor's call to send troops into Galoran. At that time, there will be at least nearly 200,000 Qin Yin elites and more than 500,000 auxiliary soldiers in Galoran. If the peasant militia recruited in Galoran are included, the expeditionary force will soon be expanded to one million.

The emperor not only wanted to pacify the situation in Galoran, but also obviously wanted to invade the Duchy of God. As long as the war went smoothly, more nobles of Qin Yin would join this ranks and divide the land.

In the past two hundred years, the number of civilians in Qin has increased sharply, and many nobles have longed to expand, and the same is true for other countries. The roots of instability have long been planted, and the turmoil of the black magician was only the fuse. It doesn't matter in the isolated land of Phoenix. When Galloran is in chaos, all countries can't sit still.

Salin soon became familiar with six sword masters. Princess Rex did not hide the fact that he sent the Green Dragon Demon Core to Kushui County. Everyone had a good impression of this magician.

Salin described the battle with the Red Line Thieves, and even Tinis admired it. At that time, Salin was just a first-level magician, and when he faced the Thieves, he might die very much.

As the army moved forward, Salin exchanged feelings with the sword masters during the day and practiced wildly when he was resting at night. He faintly touched the edge of level 3 and was only a little bit away from breaking through.

Salin knew that this was because he had accumulated too little and had a short time to practice. However, with Joey helping him transform his body, the boundary between level 3 and level 4 was much smaller, and there was not even the so-called threshold in other magicians' practice.

So Salin is not in a hurry. It is only a matter of time before he becomes a great magician. During this period, he will have to master more level three magic.

When a magician fights, he does not always release advanced magic. In fact, many great magicians are fighting with low-level magic. If they can use acid sputtering to kill the enemy, why do they need to release elemental storm? Magic strings are limited, and at the lowest price, they get the greatest result. This is how magicians fight.

Salin was not so stupid that he wanted to charge in the battle. Six third-level magic books had been stored in the Demon Magic Book. When it really needed to output attacks, this was the capital. He also studied the bronze magic books obtained from the temple. He regretfully discovered that unless he became a great magician, the bronze magic books could not be made a weapon.

This reflects the value of the Demon Magic Book, which is not limited by level. As long as the magic you can cast, it can be stored in the Demon Magic Book for spare use.

As for the scroll that Lanny gave him, Salin was reluctant to use it. He is now just a second-level magician. This strange scroll can cast span two levels. In other words, under the current circumstances, if he asks someone to successfully make this blank scroll, he can only release level 4 magic once.

The scroll is a disposable item. Salin had a plan in his mind. The next time he met Joey, he would find a way to make a level ten scroll for himself, so that he could release level ten magic once when he was at level eight.

Level 10 magic, as long as it is used properly, it can kill any strong man below level 9 on the Meers Continent. Even if a level 9 magician encounters level 10 magic, it is also extremely dangerous.

The army had begun to turn, Princess Rex's troops separated from the expeditionary army and advanced southwest, while the emperor's expeditionary army was to go directly westward and enter the Duchy of Galoran.

Kushui County has a major road in the east and north, while there are only rugged paths in the mountains to the west and south, with a closed terrain. Kushui Army bypassed Hardy City, although it showed weakness, it saved a lot of trouble. If the Hardy City army wanted to attack Kushui Army, it would have to rush more than 500 miles. Moreover, the emperor had already transferred half of the elite troops in Hardy City, and less than a thousand people could be sent out, so Princess Rex didn't have to worry at all.

Salin was a little worried. Has the Silver Sword Saint, who killed Count Mokolari, returned to Tanggulas? If not, would he be assassinated again? If it happens again, although there are more soldiers around Rex, the Silver Sword Saint will be more careful and will not easily fall into the trap.

The ones who can really deal with the Silver Sword Saint are the people of Feilun. Magicians like Salin are just useless people who can be destroyed by waves in front of the Silver Sword Saint.

However, it seems that Feilun has obtained a lot of level 8 magic scrolls in the emperor's warehouse. The scrolls that can be stored for a long time are the best. If the Silver Sword Saint faces Feilun, he may not be sure to win.
