Chapter 521: Preparation
"Sir, what do you mean by what you need training?" Nicholas didn't understand military affairs. What he was trained to do had nothing to do with war. His pattern was not too big, and he did dark things.
Xia Hedao: "Every time the flying warship is trained, the ones that fly are burning gold coins. If you don't blow up anything, I always feel a waste. The Earl of Notting Hill surrendered early, and there are still a few groups of soldiers who haven't trained well."
Under Nicholas Khan, Asra is going to train troops?
"Anyway, I will get these fees back from them in the end. It's only October now, and I'll wait to take action next January. It's possible that it depends on their attitude in advance."
"Okay, I'll do this, but I think it's better not to cause death."
"It's so clean, who will I collect money with?" Xia He said with a smile.
Nicholas didn't plan to persuade him anymore. Anyway, the blood mage wanted to deal with were people who had betrayed His Majesty.
Xia He seized the magic tower and was unwilling to do it carefully, but he still had to do it. He expanded the alchemy laboratory and asked the legendary wizard to be the vice principal, train the academy mercenaries, and then let the students organize the army. When the emperor needed it, he would directly enter the battlefield.
Xia He doesn't need to do things by himself now. As long as the order is issued, many people will do it. This feeling is quite good and it is also a state that a lord should have.
However, Xia He was not easy either. He had to consider all three important territories carefully.
To form a large-scale academy mercenaries, weapons and equipment must be insufficient. Xia He did not really plan to send troops to attack the territory of the nobles in the northern region. The attack method was the same as that of the Earl of Notting Mountain. He directly let the flying warships explode.
After two years of optimization, the manufacturing cost of the flying warship is actually less than 5,000 gold coins. Xia He still sells 80,000 gold coins and only buys the complete set of power cores. He does not lower the price, and he likes to buy it or not.
The maintenance cost of this thing is not high, and it is also energy where it consumes a lot. Whether it is black gold, magic stone, or other gems, it cannot reduce much cost.
If a flying warship wants to strengthen its protection, it will increase the money, which is a bit contrary to Xia He's original intention. This is originally a low-level version, and what he wants to create is a warship that can fly into the starry sky. If it is deployed in the starry sky, it can enter the atmosphere to attack at any time, and the driver can sleep in it. With Xia He's technology at hand, if he sleeps for half a year, it will have no health impact on the driver.
Xia He plans to transfer a batch of flying warships to the Magic Academy to supplement the weapons and equipment of the academy mercenaries.
At the same time, various magic muskets, Trojans, chariots, and magic airships are also needed. It is cheap to transport supplies and magic airships, and there are many things to carry.
Xia He is in the magic tower and makes final optimization for flying warships. If he advances further in the future, he will only be the level of the starry warship. The warships flying in the atmosphere are enough.
The warship is still in sharp angles with arrow shapes, with a flat design, and the five power cores are also distributed in arrow states. Xiahe's design destroys one power core on both sides and can still fly. In the most extreme state, as long as the core in front is retained, this thing can land safely.
The warship was over fourteen meters long, and the pattern of the Divine Fire Flying Crow was drawn with magic patterns on the top and bottom of the hull.
On both sides of the front of the battleship, new weapons for precise attacks on the ground have been added. Two magic cannons that fire live ammunition will no longer be attacked with elemental balls.
The elemental ball has a high lethality and good performance for any target to break defense. The disadvantage is that it is too slow to launch. Not to mention preheating, you still have to rest after shooting. The space of the flying warship is small, so the requirements for magic cannons become very high.
The changed magic cannon fires live ammunition, and the cost of shells has dropped sharply, but the cost of shells has risen sharply. To achieve the killing effect of elemental balls, the cost of use has increased several times. However, this kind of live ammunition can be turned in the air and has a magic tracking device. It can be released without hovering, and the attack frequency is also very fast.
This saves money spent in hovering for attack, and it is not a loss.
If it is a starry warship and the space is large enough, it will be better to use elemental balls to attack, and it is cheaper. Xia He changes the structure and adds magic patterns to his flying warship. When flying, he will use wind element magic to form a more optimized power structure outside the warship.
Then there is a weapon to add ground attacks, which is the large reel sequence launcher.
The so-called large is also compared to the one used by the magician. The physical object is one meter in diameter. It uses the most mature and cheapest structure in the empire and can store four large scrolls.
This is the main weapon of ground attack, which is fired at one time to form a chain of magic.
Then there is a scroll sequence launcher above the battleship, which is used for self-defense. If the enemy also has flying equipment approaching, use this sequence launcher to attack.
This sequence transmitter is one-time and inexpensive.
Because if it is a legendary strongman attacking, the flying warship will definitely not be able to escape. If it is not a legend, one-time is enough.
The cabin can accommodate six people, but usually only five people are enough. In the extreme case, one person can fly. Among the five people, two are responsible for taking turns driving, two are responsible for weapon launch, and one is resting, and can be replaced at any time.
In Xia He's own flying battleship, there is also a mini magic net that can provide magic net mages with magic nets.
Xia He's plan, this kind of flying device will not be allowed to be driven by combat mages in the future. Combat mages are of high value and are not easy to practice, while Magic Net mages can be cultivated as long as they are of similar quality.
The magic net mage is not that he cannot become a legend, but that he is promoted to a legend. The resources required are too large and no one is willing to pay the money.
Isn’t it stupid to spend hundreds of times the cost to cultivate a legend, but it is still inseparable from the legend of the Magic Net?
Xia He immediately sent his plan drawings to Freya and Freya, and handed them directly to the Taoist priests of the Taiyin Immortal Palace for the final treatment. Xia He ignored the details, so it took a lot of time.
Xia He then optimized the magic guns and magic bullets, and threw them to the magicians in his academy to deal with.
Xia He wants to open an alchemy factory at the Tenth Magic Academy, and there are magic bullets in the things they produce. Now magic bullets are made of all metal, and he wants to use double-layer structure materials to make magic bullets. The core is the material refined from raw cinders, with a thin layer of magic metal covered with the outer layer.
The core of this kind of magic bullet can create very complex magic arrays, which are also low in cost, and are suitable for large-scale manufacturing. Xia He is also worried about using magic bullets nowadays. After each training, he collects abandoned bullets everywhere and recycles them.
Moreover, the new magic bullets will only have a weight greater than the original metal bullet when they are fired when the core magic array is activated. The storage state is much lighter, and soldiers can carry more.
And during training, you can search back and shoot on the battlefield.
After Xia He sent out the mission, he called one hundred of his soldiers and told them that he would form a large mercenary group so that they could become the backbone.
Xia He gave the soldiers in charge a ready-made framework and asked him to raise them. Then he sent a message to Sun City, asking some magicians to come first to help complete the construction of the academy mercenary group.
Among the mercenaries of the academy, Xia He will not let outsiders come, and it must be his Sun City army coming. His purpose is also training. Anyway, training costs money, and this time, it also costs money, two-in-one, saving costs.
Xiahe was very active. The students dug three feet to search in the name of surveying and mapping the floating city, and found a secret place. It was an abandoned underground alchemy factory, and the things had long been emptied. Jenny left some gold coins, equipment, and various books there, and the number was quite large.
Xia He directly registered and moved back to the principal's office of the college.
This matter was left to Nicholas. Xia He didn't care about this. He was busy choosing an address and building a factory. People came from Sun City. The Academy Mercenary Group quickly set up the air.
At the end of the year, the imperial capital confirmed that Xia He was converted into a regular president of the Taxi Magic Academy. However, the vice president was still unsuccessful. Xia He probably thought that the emperor knew that he was going to make trouble and did not want the legends of the three major academies to mix with him.
Otherwise, it is equivalent to endorsing yourself.
The emperor pardoned those guys. Xia He's troubles must have nothing to do with the emperor. Xia He didn't expect that Juno III would be shameless!
The nobles from the north ignored Xiahe and sent all the letters, and everyone pretended that things had never happened.
Xia He was very happy. If they surrendered, how could he really send troops to fight?
The academy mercenaries must be unusable, but Xia He directly transferred more than 5,000 people from Sun City to temporarily act as a college mercenaries. One hundred and twenty flying warships were also in place. The alchemy factory here produces the magic ammunition needed by Xia He day and night.
On the other side of Red Sea City, the war was going smoothly, and the city had been defeated by the Expeditionary Force. However, the half-elf empire also gathered a large number of troops to approach Red Sea City.
Xia He has not added troops, so it is not easy to rely on those few people to defend Red Sea City.
Now the Expeditionary Force still has more than 90 warships, which are arranged on the sea, and can face the mainland with naval guns, and can support the battle of Red Sea City. But Xia He didn't know whether the half-elf empire would send out legends.
The Meriffin family has a legend, but they did not follow him. The Meriffin family used an epic wizard and brought a scroll of forbidden spells.
After Xia He was ready, he took out the information and read it.
Almost all the nobles from the north have come to their own side to catch fugitives. The most common family is the Ramoti family, with a marquis, and they have captured more than a hundred people back. According to their own offer, they are only tens of millions of gold coins.
