Chapter 765
The old leader Barrett led hundreds of followers to leave the bear group and return to the Randal leader, marking the end of the old era. Just like Lora. Augustus Her Highness the Princess incarnation of the female knight-errant Octavier, the new head of Val’s leader led the bear group northward to conform to the new trend of the era of great pioneering.
Thousands of members of the bear group acted collectively. Of course, it would not be easy to travel thousands of kilometers to reach the pioneering leader of Sasan Empire. But the Lord Dodo and the garrison priest at the Nether Soul forest development point are willing to help.
Head Weier made a drastic adjustment to the internal member structure of the bear group. She abandoned most of the migrant and hired labor gangs attached to the bear group and reduced the number of the bear group from more than 8,000 to 4,500. Many people used the reserves left by the old leader Barrett to purchase a large number of bullock carts and supplies from Dodian, and led the real mercenary subordinates to the Northwest of the Wharton Prairie.
The all influence of the Nether Soul forest development fortress is satisfied with the actions of the bear group. Lord Dodo uses the bear group mercenaries as bait, and it is not a glorious thing to annihilate the forest gnolls. Octavir took away the rebellious armed mercenaries, leaving behind a group of honest and obedient hired labor. The lords who opened up the fortress really relaxed. They tried their best to meet the various procurement requirements put forward by the bear group, and even sold them a batch of high-quality armaments, including ten military heavy crossbows and a small ballista component.
The bear group can buy contraband, thanks to the garrison priest who opened up the fortress.
This is because the security situation of the joint development leader of Sasan and Naville is not very good, or very bad.
At the beginning, the centaur head of the Sidon Khanate had cramps, which advanced the pioneering war of the Northern Lords by at least 5 years. With the support of the entire human kingdom, the northern lords defeated the Sidon Centaur and seized land the size of the Sasan Empire, but they were not prepared to open up their territory. The main contradiction was the weak defense force to maintain local security.
His Royal Highness Randal proposed the tenancy system and the employment of Legion long ago, but only the York family will hire Legion to build fruitfully, and the employment of Legion by other forces is not even complete.
If there is no idle land, the refugees cannot be converted into tenants. Where can Legion be hired without tenants?
The main force of the Sasanian and Naville people cooperated with the Radiance Knight regiment to guard the eastern defense line of the pioneering leader, opening up the emptiness of defense behind the leader, resulting in countless goblins, kobolds, jackals, and ogre and humans Civilians compete for living space. Murders caused by the orc rogues ranged from a dozen to dozens a day. The pioneering lord and Paladin were overwhelmed by these endless monster attacks and were struggling to deal with them.
The worst thing is that the infiltration action of the orc gangsters has severely compressed the scope of activities of the residents and tenants, and opened up space for the multiplication and development of the Beastman Race group. If the arrogance of the orc gangsters cannot be sustained, soon In the future, there will probably be many powerful orc tribes in the hinterland of the pioneering leader.
Under this situation, Guanghui Church asked the garrison priest of the various Sects in the various Sects district to call on the knight-errant and mercenary group to go to the east to open up the leader and provide convenience to the mercenary knight-errant who is willing to accept the task. , Prompting them to leave as soon as possible.
The bear group is large in scale and has experienced the test of the Five-Day War. It can be said that the most famous mercenary group at the moment. Lord Dodo wanted to disband the bear group, but the garrison priest of the pioneer leader tried his best to obstruct him. He repeatedly hinted and made clear that Barritt would accept the mercenary mission of the East leader leader, but the old leader never responded positively. The garrison priest was very disappointed with Old Guy. At this time, Octavir took the initiative to approach the door and expressed his willingness to take the bear group to the east to open up the leader. The two sides hit it off. The resident priest changed the name of the leader of the bear group to Octavil very simply. Although this did not comply with the church’s rules for the management of the mercenary group, the eight deputy leaders of the bear group had no objection. It doesn't matter if Barrett's name is crossed out.
Lora snatched the bear group from Victor's hands, causing him to invest tens of thousands of Kinsoul in the early stage. The problem she faced was that Grand Captain Octavir entered the vision of His Royal Highness Randal, which might reveal her true identity.
However, in Lora's view, this is all trivial. Sylvia is one of the few insiders of Crown Princess of Cambis. She has expressed tolerance and support to Lora. I am afraid that Stormrage Sword Saint has been aware of this. The close relationship between him and Lora will never destroy Lora. Recast the belief in freedom and look forward to the attempt of the top Legendary powerhouse.
Lora holds the power of the people, this is the key.
In the population structure of the kingdoms, freed people will always be the majority, and the lord impossible will convert all freed people into tenant households. As long as the population size continues to grow, even tenant households will have their children, nephews and relatives leaving the family. Make a living by yourself. The mercenary group is part of the freedmen’s group. No one knows how many free mercenaries there are in the human country. However, judging from the demand for freemen’s armed forces in the Eastern Frontier, hundreds of thousands of mercenaries are always needed.
Such a large base of mercenaries is more than enough to cover the true identity of Captain Octavier. There will always be smart mercenary group leaders who will stand out and gain a reputation as good as Octavir. Moreover, they are difficult to be digested by the lord and will maintain a relatively independent position.
Traditional mercenary group drags three or four hundred people into a large mercenary group. Their ability to withstand injuries is actually very poor. The number of casualties among young and middle-aged mercenaries exceeds one third, and the whole group is basically lost. Fighting ability, otherwise there will be no one to support the young and old in the regiment. Therefore, the traditional mercenary group is unable to cope with the combat mission of the Eastern Frontier, and must move toward a coalition to form a large group of more than 1,000 people.
There are not many lords who can digest so many armed mercenaries. They are more willing to select young people from tenant families to cultivate a professional family army.
Undoubtedly, the pastor of the East Frontier must be introducing the experience of the bear group to the mercenaries. Barrett's desire to bring the bear group back to Centaur Hills is purely a daydream. If Lora does not become the head of the bear group, others will rush to do it. In fact, the resident priest of the Nether Soul forest development point is the secret mastermind of the bear group. At least he will not give the credit of integrating the bear group and promoting it to the north to the female knight-errant Octavir.
The tea party held by the pioneering nobles occasionally mentions the reputation of the bear group. When other large mercenary groups begin to emerge, the popularity of the bear group will naturally fade.
The arrogant Knight aristocrat only thought that the leader of the bear group was a lucky female knight-errant, and no one would associate her with the "fallen" Augustus Crown Princess.
Don't underestimate the mercenary industry. At the level of Lora, transcenders can always see the traces of "Force" and try to exert influence to seize the favor of the power of destiny.
The high priest regards mortal believers as lambs, as does the high Knight. The power of mortals is as small as dust, but after all, they are thousands of absolutely divided ideas of the Creator. By consolidating the people's thoughts and beliefs into one, the ocean can be transformed into a divine miracle.
Augustus Crown Princess inherited the legacy of her predecessors and walked on the road designated by her predecessors. Many of her ideas could not be implemented. The so-called suppression of nature is reflected in the identity of Crown Princess.
Now that Octavier has just broken into the no-man’s land of the mercenary group, how much power will heaven knows free mercenaries explode in her hands?
It is certain that she will disturb the situation in the northern kingdom.
If Lora is lurking in the southern country, Sylvia and Victor will not be able to agree. Since Lora is developing in the north, the two of them are happy to see it happen.
Head of Weier is ambitious, ready to write his own Legendary. But if she knew that there was an unspeakable purpose in the arms of a favored person who was comparable to the first pope, she followed the bear group secretly, and even used big prophecy to protect her and Mary's mercenary career, how would she feel?
Because of this, Barriet returned to Randal and reported to Mrs. Lilia what happened to the bear group. Although Lilia was angry, she cared about the friendship of the war bear mercenaries and pointed her finger at the resident priest at the Nether Soul forest pioneering point, and begged Mrs. Nicole to forgive Barrett's mistake.
Nicole suppressed the matter and did not notify the Rose Manor. In the final analysis, the loss of the bear group is because the Randal Family family has a small background and there are not many talents available, but this is the internal affair of the Randal Family family. Nicole, like the high-ranking Knight Lord of Centaur Hills, is not willing to be laughed at, and is even more opposed to Duke York taking the opportunity to plant "talents" in Randal. She is especially wary of Mrs. Katerina.
In this way, Captain Octavier was not immediately exposed to Sylvia's vision.
His Royal Highness Randal, who was thousands of miles away, certainly didn't know that Lora took away his bear group.
************************
The lizard swamp is actually a large basin on the Jinshui River, the swamp The western edge is like the easternmost skylark mountain range, and there is also a north-south highland mountain forest that stretches for thousands of kilometers. Only by crossing this winding and rugged forest can you see the nameless prairie.
According to the adventurer's practice, His Royal Highness Randal gave this mountain range a bad name-gray rabbit mountain range, where he first saw the animal as a gray rabbit. The poor rabbit undoubtedly died under Victor's arrow. Nelson chopped off the rabbit's feet and nailed it to the steep stone wall with a short thorn, hoping to bring good luck to the latecomers.
Caligula said that the rabbit tastes good, but it is too skinny.
In the cold spring mountains and forests, the snow has not completely melted, where there will be fat hares. Aka is purely showing off his barbecue skills.
However, this hapless gray rabbit did bring good luck to its kind.
The Randal expeditionary army did not rush into the unnamed grassland, but stayed in the gray rabbit mountain range for almost three months. On the one hand, the expeditionary army needs to rest, collect a large amount of mountain and forest resources, replenish material reserves, and prepare for crossing the unknown grassland; on the other hand, the gray rabbit mountain range has a complex terrain, which is an excellent hiding place compared to the endless prairie. .
Victor presets the nameless prairie as the main battlefield to intercept the ant-man army, and is ready to summon the most elite war beast cavalry from the kingdoms. With the help of the prairie terrain characteristics, the mobile combat advantages of the cavalry The tactical conception of playing more and cannibalizing at every step.
According to Ant-Man’s weaknesses and weighing various factors, X-3 produced 3,000 war beast knights, 8,000 fast bird light knights, plus 30,000 elite cavalry on the grassland battlefield. Drag 400,000 Ant-Man monsters to death.
Victor relaxed the total strength of the coalition forces to 50,000, but the logistics supply points of the 50,000 cavalry can only be scattered and hidden in the gray rabbit mountain range, otherwise the tactical concept of mobile combat cannot be realized.
War is not about whoever has more people than anyone wins, but about logistics.
The elite cavalry coalition forces of the kingdoms took the lead, and the war was half won.
As an advance force of the Randal Expeditionary Force, surveying the battlefield environment can be said to be the most important task of this expedition. Following Victor's instructions, the family warrior stopped in the gray rabbit mountain range, first searched for those mountain passes for large troops to enter the grassland from the swamp, surveyed the terrain trend of the mountain range by the way, recorded the available resource points, and so on.
A well-trained ordinary soldier wants to complete the survey of the gray rabbit mountain range. If hundreds of people are busy for three or five years, they may not be able to reach the end of the mountain forest. Even a spiritual warrior loaded with collection skills may be able to detect a 1000-kilometer-long mountain range in more than half a year.
This job is very simple for Victor. He doesn't need to go out in person now, but only sends four dragon maids to explore the gray rabbit mountain range in the north and south directions. They can survey 500 kilometers of mountains and forests every day, and dragon intuition helps them with no difficulty to find all kinds of mineral resources, including the most critical salt mines and water sources. The collection skills of Alchemy Tower gave them the skills to draw Terrain Map. With the extraordinary memory brought by the high spirit attribute, they can first remember the topographic features of the mountains and forests, and then draw them together.
It took only 15 days for the four dragon maids to put the detailed Terrain Map of the gray rabbit mountain range in front of Victor.
The Randal Expeditionary Army is still in the Gray Rabbit mountain range just to supplement logistic resources. The alchemy militia dug several large pits and burned them with fire. They saw the felled wood into planks and placed them neatly in the pit, buried them with dry soil, piled up earthen kilns on them, and burned charcoal. The high temperature of the charcoal fire dries the underground wooden boards, and after they are taken out, they can be used to make wooden trailers.
The other group is responsible for hunting and gathering, boiling salt mines, marinating dried salted fish, and preparing simple and practical medicines.
The aboriginal people in the gray rabbit mountain range suddenly fell into the blood mold. Hundreds of outsiders broke into their territories, severely disrupting the local ecological balance, but there were many carnivores among them. Take the alchemy war mastiff and bear dog for example. They eat an average of 20 pounds of meat a day. The expeditionary army has more than 60 fierce war dogs hunting on their own. It requires at least 800 square kilometers of territory to maintain the ecological balance of the mountains and forests. Refining Golden Dragon lizards is even more incredible. If they are real swamp dragon lizards, each such big guy has to occupy more than 400 square kilometers of territory alone.
Although the Golden Dragon lizard has a strong omnivorous innate talent, it is easier to accumulate physical energy if you eat meat or meat.
Victor doesn't care about the ecological balance of the gray rabbit mountain range. Alchemy militias are more restrained in hunting herbivores, and never show mercy to carnivorous beasts and monsters.
Nelson organized a hunting team of 120 people. Once a monster community such as jackals, goblins, kobolds, and ogre are found, they will be wiped out immediately, and the flesh of the monsters will be used by the Imerson wizard. Train his alienated beast troops to fill the belly of dragon lizards and war dogs by the way.
The ferocious monsters above the Silver Stage had already traveled as far as the dragon maid surveyed the terrain of the mountain people. The monsters left behind are all intuitions that are not strong enough. Only the Philip II, III and Razorbeasts cultivated by Imerson can't stand it. When the four dragon maids appear on the scene, Dragon Clan's fearful sight crushes the hearts of the weak and powerful. A fierce leader can't make any waves, and can only become a predator.
It is foreseeable that in the next two years, the number of herbivores in the gray rabbit mountain range will greatly increase, and they will be the fresh meat reserve of the cavalry coalition forces in the mountain forest.
The survey of the terrain and the encirclement and suppression of the monster do not require Victor's care. He stayed in the wood house villa built by the alchemy militia, wholeheartedly perfecting the secrets of Portanos.
This mysterious method deduced from the myth of Nine Headed Snake has a very high level and infinite plasticity. In fact, Victor used the Golden Toad Secret Shape and the Meditation Method collected by the church, combined with the bloodline innate talent of the myth Nine Headed Snake, to deduce the Portanos secret method. It can be said that this is the highest achievement Victor has achieved since he was the Sovereign of the Soul.
To temper the spirit and break the limit of the spirit attribute is only Portanos' basic general function. In theory, anyone can practice this secret method, but it has a minimum threshold—the spirit attribute of the cultivator must reach 10 points.
When an ordinary person reaches the prime of life, the spirituality attribute reaches the highest level in life, almost 6 or 7 points. Elite soldiers who have received rigorous training since childhood can have more than 7 mental strength, but few can reach 10 mental strength.
10-point spirit attribute, representing the watershed of the black iron and bronze steps. For this alone, the Portanos secret method excludes the overwhelming majority.
Even if the cultivator has a mental strength of more than 10 points and less than 15 points, it is difficult to visualize the image of the three-headed snake lizard Portanos. They may take more than ten years to build To develop a complete Visualization Technique and enter the extraordinary field of 15-point spirit attribute, it is considered to reach a higher-level.
Only a Legendary powerhouse with a spirit of 30 or more can use the Portanos secret method to create its own spiritual innate talent.
The Portanos mystery is designed to change the fate of Spiritual God Knight. Its power is more than just improving lifespan and spirit attribute so simple?
Victor was dormant for 15 days and only laid the most basic common part of the secret method. It took nearly 3 months to integrate the mythical three-headed lizard Visualization Technique into the Sacred Domain-level Innate Talent Tree.
Charlotte pushed open the door of the meditation room and saw Victor’s dark golden eyes alternately showing emerald green, dark blue, and orange light circles. She couldn’t help holding her breath and stood at the door for a second, ready to Leaving quietly, he was stopped by Victor.
"His Royal Highness, I...I just knocked on the door." Charlotte pursed her beautiful red lips and defended aggrievedly.
"Yes, I called you in." Victor smiled nodded and asked: "Baby, are you here to tell me, Nelson they found a group of orcs?"
Seeing that Victor was in a good mood, Charlotte relaxed, holding her slender hand on her full-line chest, and quickly said: "Yes, the Lord, as you ordered, surrounded a mountain near the forest about 300 kilometers to the north. There are about 40 jackals, and there are more than 200 goblin slaves."
Victor's eyes flashed and said excitedly: "Okay, use them to try my'Howling Wind' !"
