Chapter 348: Metatlin Mercenary Corps (Part 1)
Chapter 348: Metatlin Mercenary Group (Part 1)
The imperial envoys would not leave immediately, and Salin also had to choose the envoys carefully and communicate more with the great magician of Tiffany. His Majesty the Emperor would definitely not only sign a secret agreement. In addition to asking Salin to send troops, there were also many small things that both sides had to discuss in private.
In addition, Salin also had to send an envoy who was permanently stationed in the Holy Rock City, but this person was not easy to choose.
The pirates who had followed Salin for the longest were loyal enough, but unfortunately these people had no talent. The nobles who defected to him were not good either. Salin was rewarded with the reliable nobles, and the whole family was in Metatlin City. Salin did not fully understand the other nobles.
In the end, Salin decided not to hurry. He planned to let Baron Piac do this. The land of Baron Piac's deep forest town had long been taken down by Salin. The reward for Baron Piac's Piac has also been implemented. Although this baron is a little less capable, he does not know Salin's secret, and even if he is bribed, he will not make any mistakes.
After Salin arranged a few confidants next to Baron Pijac, he would let Baron Pijac take office. Pijac's children have been trained by Salin as a magic apprentice, so this baron will naturally have some concerns.
As soon as Pijac talked about the matter, Pijac had nothing to refuse. Salin directly promoted him to a second-class viscount. When he left office and returned from Holy Rock City, he would be a first-class viscount. If his son could become a formal magician and gain Salin's trust, Salin would not mind making him a hereditary count.
Tiffany and Stephanie, two level 8 magicians, secretly traded a lot of things with Salin during this period. Tiffany is very old, on the surface, only in her thirties, but in fact he is over 100 years old. Stephanie is really only in her twenties. It is her personal hobby to pretend to be a white-robed mage, not the emperor targets Duke Valde.
Because Tiffany was a royal wizard, she was quite restrained. Stephanie was completely the emperor's personal mage and was completely unscrupulous. Salin got a lot of information from Saint Rock City from her. Stephanie expressed her affection for Salin and said that after she went back, she would definitely find a way to get what Salin wanted with the emperor.
What did Salin want? He was thinking about the warehouse in the palace. Salin knew that the palace in Saint Rock City was not the base camp of the Grucos family, but the collection inside was extremely rich. What Salin wanted was a copy of all the drawings inside.
The Grucos royal family had a huge number of magic equipment drawings, most of which were thrown in the corner, waiting to be covered with dust.
For this, Salin privately agreed to Stephanie to increase the magic core transaction with O'Jarvis to 200,000, and he himself distributed another 100,000 level 4 magic cores in exchange for food.
Salin needs a lot of food because Erinno provided him with an elf formula, which can make the food into an elf pill. If you take one, you will not be hungry for three days. The cost of making this elf pill can be for the soldiers to consume for five days. It is a loss, but the soldier brings this pill, which can reduce the logistics burden.
This kind of pill is also available in the mainland of Meers, and the cost is high, and the army will not promote it at all. A pill like this is almost enough for soldiers to consume for three months. This pill is used by noble ladies in Qin Yin to lose weight.
The most important thing is that if the food is stored in a magic warehouse, it will also consume the magic core. The nutrition gradually deteriorates and it will be made into elves pills, which will consume infinitely close to zero. In the elves plane, elves only eat a small amount of fruits and vegetables every day, and maintain their physical strength entirely by relying on this pill.
Only low-class elves will be like humans, with three meals a day.
Humans were extremely powerful back then, and they basically didn't consider any logistical issues in the battles on the plane. A powerful human could create a space, which could be torn open with your hands at any time and take out the supplies inside. Therefore, the pills of the elves were meaningless to the humans back then.
When humans needed this pill, the connection between the planes had already lost. Later magicians imitated the pills with extremely poor quality, which is the so-called weight loss pills that are now used by no army.
The soldiers of the Royal Swordsman Camp would carry a bag around them, which would mean to be prepared for any eventuality. Using this as military ration is too wasteful.
However, less than twice the consumption, considering the logistics transportation problem, it is equivalent to saving too much.
Of course, Salin also had something to bribe the two magicians, which were the magic wand materials obtained from Joey - the Gods and the Ghost Oak. These two plants were not hundreds of years, but thousands of years to be raised.
Both of them knew that Joey had it, but they could only drool, so Joey didn't pay attention to them.
If Salin wants various alchemy drawings from the inner treasury of the Holy Rock City Palace, of course, they have to take out things to exchange them. Salin promised five million alchemy arrows. And Salin gave the sample. The five million alchemy arrows are slightly soft bronze in the core. Alchemy is used outside and the material of the monster shell is added. An arrow like this can be used repeatedly dozens of times.
The effect of destroying demons is average, but it still has a significant effect on the heavy armor of the warrior.
Salin originally planned to equip his army with this weapon, but had already made more than four million arrows. Now he can hurry up and make it before Tiffany leaves.
What Salin lacks the most is this hard shell of the monster. The red krill he caught is as hard as metal in addition to the spear stabs. The shell of the red krill is as hard as metal. It is difficult to refine the spear stab of the red krill, but the shell can be attached to the metal after it melts.
If this arrow is enchanted by a magician, it becomes a disposable consumable, but it also has a magic breaking effect. If there is no magician enchantment, it is just sharper than the stainless steel arrow and can break through ordinary heavy armor.
After the experiment, Stephanie was very satisfied with this equipment. Of course, Holy Rock City could make such arrows, and some Alchemy City were sold, but unfortunately the cost was too high and it was impossible to sell for millions. Salin took out five million at a time, which was of great significance to the war in Galoran, and even Prince Safiros could not refuse.
Salin was also proud of the fact that the creature Red Krill is so cute. It has magic cores, gun thorns, and can also make equipment in the shell, and meat can be fed to Thunder Dragons.
No wonder Alchemy City dominates one side, and even Holy Rock City doesn’t want to offend it. The resources in the sea are too rich. Whoever can control the ocean can control the entire continent.
Holy Rock City is also well aware of Metatrim hunting on the sea. However, Holy Rock City cannot be destroyed, otherwise you can only buy high-priced items in Alchemy City. The transaction between Metatrim and the Emperor saved most of the money.
In mid-July, the envoys returned, and Salin arranged a grand farewell ceremony. This time he sent a battalion of troops to escort the envoys back. The army of this battalion could legitimately travel through Phoenix. The magicians in the army had to record magic images and draw maps along the way.
There is also a deal between Sarin and Prince Safiros, so he dares to do so. Prince Safiros admitted his existence and wanted Sarin to completely seal the sea route to the north of Alchemy City, and then all the materials in the north will be taken over by Saint Rock City. As for Alchemy City, it cannot be forced to buy and sell. Prince Safiros invested a lot of money in the name of the empire. Although he did not buy magic cores, magic equipment materials, ores, wood, magic potions, etc. can be purchased at a low price from Metatrium City.
Prince Safiros also wanted to form a navy in Lianyun City, secretly checking and balancing the Alchemy City to avoid destroying his business. The prince's business was carried out in the name of the empire, mainly used to cultivate his own power. Most of the nobles in the north belonged to the emperor, but the prince did not want to fight for it, but the nobles in the south didn't even listen to the emperor's words. Prince Safiros had to win over a group of people and attack a group of people.
Salin is happy to temporarily reconcile with the prince. If he continues to fight, he doesn't want to encounter the Golden Sword Saint's sniper at any time. Unless he never leaves Metatlin City, there will be such an enemy that is more terrifying than fighting against a level nine magician.
The nobles in Metatlin City suffered some losses, but fortunately, Salin made them take advantage of the situation, which saved the disadvantage of occupying liquidity. These nobles could also use their money to do other businesses.
Salin himself was busy preparing to build a mercenary group.
In Erinno's plan, Salin also wanted to form a mercenary group. The existence of this mercenary group was to avoid some trouble. For example, if it was Salin's regular army, it would have to face some questions. The mercenary group was different. As long as there was a employed party, you could go anywhere.
The name of the mercenary group is very simple, it is called the Metatlin Mercenary Group, which is registered with Salin. The size of the mercenary group is 20,000 people. Apart from the 20,000 people, it is not considered a regular mercenary, but just an auxiliary soldier. Salin agreed to send 50,000 troops, and he would continue to expand recruitment.
His regular army was extremely strict in recruiting soldiers. Salin still relaxed some of the requirements for mercenaries. The elite soldiers of a battalion were directly recruited from the regular army. The secret treatment was no different from before. This was selling dog meat with the title of sheep. The remaining auxiliary soldiers were re-recruited.
Even so, Salin's auxiliary soldiers will not be lower than those of any noble private soldiers.
Salin quickly recruited 30,000 people, and there was still a gap of 20,000 people, which would definitely be made up within a few months. Gallulan was in a mess, and the original population of tens of millions was reduced to several million. They all went to Qin Yin and Phoenix. The young and strong of these people could enlist in the army.
