Chapter 209: New Army (Part 1)

The kings of the East China Sea countries are not fools. Without such a large number of magical chariots, they would not dare to attack Qin Yin. According to the plan of the Expeditionary Force, these chariots were concentrated and used. If they attacked one by one, they could suppress the magic towers outside Qin Yin's city.

Without this preparation, the army outside the city would be completely suppressed by the magic tower. Although magicians rarely intervene in the affairs of the nobles, when they encounter enemy invasion, these magicians cannot stand by. The nobles have provided them with many years to make the true security of their own territory.

There are many shortcomings of magic chariots. Unlike magic towers, magic chariots often only increase in a series of elemental powers. This increase can be transformed, but it is more difficult.

For example, this time, because of the discovery of the city of Salin, in order to avoid a large number of casualties, the general asked the magician to transform the magic chariot to restrain the undead power in the enemy.

This is correct. The mistake is that they have been on the sea for too long and were driven back by Salin and directly sank the warship.

The magic chariot itself is also a problem. The chariot itself is already large enough, and it requires eight horses to pull it, or simply use a monster like a dragon. Salin's solution is to use two skeleton war horses to pull the cart, but there are no undead mages above level 4, and this method is also Mirror Flower and Water Moon.

Maintenance of magical chariots is also a problem. In order to reduce consumption, the Expeditionary Force usually dismantles the magical chariots and seals them until they are needed. Even so, magical chariots must often consume magic cores to maintain the operation of the magic array. Otherwise, the performance of the magical chariots will be reduced after a long time.

It is because of so many troubles that the Qin Yin Empire did not equip too many magical chariots, but only created some basic materials. Unless the enemy invaded, such money-burning equipment would not be used. In contrast, although the cost of war puppets is high, the consumption is very small.

The biggest consumption of war puppets is not only in terms of materials, but before manufacturing, it is necessary to build a huge alchemy factory. It costs a lot of money to build such an alchemy factory. However, after the war puppets are made, they basically consume intermediate magic cores, and transportation can also be split. Once the war is urgent, the war puppets themselves can also travel long distances.

After the magic tower is built, it does not require much maintenance. The magic tower itself is a self-repairing building. The only weakness is that it cannot move.

Salin has a lot of materials for building magic towers, which were accumulated by Srieg Island. He himself was unable to build both magic chariots and war puppets. Now with ready-made chariots, Salin's strength has immediately improved a lot.

That afternoon, Neris sent all the parts of the magic chariot to the temple, and Geyi was also called to Salin. Salin told him that his first team would be led by him. The thin man was excited and knelt in front of Salin and wanted to kiss Salin's feet.

When Shika saw it next to him, he immediately pulled out the boomerang and threw it over. Salin's feet were also hers, so he could not let others kiss them casually. Ge was startled, and his hand shrank, and the boomerang was nearly halfway into the ground. You must know that the ground of Salin Temple was also covered with white stone collected from the coast, and the strength was comparable to steel.

"Hmph, just talk well, don't move around." Shika stepped forward, pulled out the boomerang, and glared at Ge.

Ge Yi naturally did not dare to disobey Shika's words. He had heard rumors that this Caucasian woman had become Lord Salin's lover. No matter how much Salin trusted him, she could never compare to the person who was talking by her pillow.

"Geyi, I have seen all your subordinates. How powerful do you think you are?" Salin signaled to Sika to leave for a while. Sika felt upset when she looked at Geyi, so she left Salin's room. Although she knew that Geyi was loyal to Salin, she didn't like to look flattering.

"Sir, these old brothers are barely able to fight, but without the skills of fighting horses, they are even worse than heavy infantry on the battlefield."

"It's good that you know, but the barbarians I assigned to you are about the same riding skills as you. Anyway, everyone is training on skeleton war horses, saving a lot of trouble. For this month, don't train them to ride a spear technique. Learn the skills of scimitars with those Warcraft swordsmen. Also, let them practice crossbow arrows."

"Sir, it's hard to tear apart the enemy's formation without the art of riding a spear!" Ge Yi read a lot of books on war, and recently he has some meaning as a soldier.

"I'm not letting you become heavy cavalrymen. The durability of the skeleton war horse is not enough. The impact power is mainly because it cannot be borne by the knights. Cavalry needs greater strength in the skeleton war horses. It's okay for the barbarians to say that your bodies are not good unless you all become sword masters."

Once Ge lowered his head, he also knew that his pirate brothers were not suitable for horse battle.

"Now the barbarians in our hands can become heavy infantry in the future, and cavalry can be selected from the Caucasians. You should train light cavalry for me."

Ge Yi couldn't hide his disappointment, but he nodded and promised.

"Geyi, don't underestimate light cavalry. If light cavalry has powerful archery skills, it can still become the main force of the battlefield. In the past, when humans were strong in body, they could ride advanced monsters or even giant dragons. At that time, heavy cavalry and air cavalry were the protagonists of the battlefield, but now, light cavalry can cause huge damage to the enemy by relying on bows and arrows to strike."

"Sir, I understand." Ge Yi was impressed on the ground with conscience. He also understood this principle, but the most important thing for an army was heavy cavalry, infantry, and light cavalry as a supplement, so he was a little reluctant at first. But he also understood that not only was he poor background, but his foundation was still weak, and being able to command the light cavalry for Salin was a good position.

Salin did not continue to speak, and suddenly he thought about it. He had never thought about siegeing the city, so he attached great importance to infantry and light cavalry. Because these two have the effect of exceeding heavy cavalry in urban defense warfare. Especially heavy infantry, wearing more than fifty kilograms of steel armor and forming a human wall, even heavy cavalry is difficult to gain advantage.

The heavy steel armor makes ordinary arrows useless. Even alchemy crossbows require medium or above to penetrate the defense of heavy infantry. The miniaturized crossbows cannot kill heavy infantry at all.

If you have barbarians and Caucasians, you can support a heavy infantry force of more than 10,000 people. More Caucasians will arrive in the future, which is not a dream. But don’t you really want to talk about expanding your territory? If possible, if you annex Phoenix yourself, you can build a country and use the power of the country to support more magicians.

Salin remembered the inner treasury in Qin Yin's palace, which made him still envious. The equipment and materials collected by Qin Yin's royal family are very jealous even in Salin's view. It was the accumulation of an empire for thousands of years.

Although there are not many magicians in Qin Yin's army, the royal family can expand the mage group at any time as long as they are willing. Because the Grucos family can afford it.

It's such an attractive idea, but if he is ready to do this, how much time will he spend on magic practice? Salin shook his head and gave up this idea for the time being. He didn't want to waste too much time before he became a magician.

Seeing Salin shook his head, Geyi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sir, what are you dissatisfied with my people?"

Now Ge Yi can say something to Salin, so the communication is not just like listening to it before.

"No, I remembered something about myself. Geyi, you have to do this matter I told you. It won't take long before Rex will bring more troops to this city. At that time, I need someone to suppress the scene."

Ge Yi looked a little embarrassed. If it were other pirates, they would have patted their chests and said that they would not disappoint Salin. However, Ge Yi read a lot of books and gained a lot of knowledge. He knew that the hundreds of people he trained were definitely not as good as Rex's elite.

It will take at least five years to train an elite soldier, and how long will it take for Salin to capture them?

Salin smiled and comforted Ge: "I know that in a few years, you can't make these people into elites, but we can make up for the shortcomings in equipment. Although Rex is rich, I am not poor either. I will create magic equipment for these 500 people, one set for each of them."

Ge Yi's eyes lit up. Although the status of the light cavalry is not as good as that of other troops, if all light cavalry are covered with magic armor, they are magic cavalry, and their status is not lower than that of the heavy cavalry!

"Sir, I will not let you down." Ge Yi replied respectfully.

"Well, during this period, I will ask Daniel and Cridean to accompany you to train. You choose a hundred barbarians and train them in the form of heavy infantry. At that time, these hundred barbarians will be responsible for protecting the mage."

"Sir, I..."

"You are the one who commands the battle. Daniel and Kridian will not follow you all the time. I will send you a low-level mage to accompany the army all year round."

Ge Yi was very happy. Even if there was a third-level mage in the team, their survival might be twice as big. Sometimes the trauma of an arrow could kill a person. Even if he didn't shoot the vital point, the wound might worsen. For magicians, this only requires a little water of repair to heal.

Moreover, the troops with magicians must be the direct line. Salin said that equipting himself with mages for a long time in the future is to affirm his efforts. Although Daniel and Kridian have strong combat power, Ge Yi is very inferior in front of them and has no courage to command the two great magicians.
