Sicca was still wearing the same clothes as before she left. Behind her were two young Caucasian Warriors, the only two in the team wearing magic armor.
"You've become a real battle priest?" Salin was surprised to find that Sicca's mental power had grown to a terrifying level. He couldn't tell how strong Sicca's mental power was now. It was probably comparable to that of a Magic Shooter.
"Of course. Otherwise, how could I bring so many people back?"
"Where's Rex?" Salin found that there were only Caucasians in the team.
"She went back to Kushui Prefecture. It'll be a few months before she can leave. Salin, I'm hungry … "
Salin laughed and said to the swordsman leading the team, "Go tell Daniel to hurry up and prepare breakfast. And you, go find Mage Christian and tell him to tidy up all the houses near the garden and arrange for these people to stay there temporarily. "
The swordsman took the order and left. Salin looked at the elders behind him and asked Sicca, "The elders of your village are all here?"
"Yes, let me introduce you."
After Sicca's introduction, Salin found out that Sicca had brought people from three Caucasian villages, a total of 2,872 people. Half of them were warriors who could fight, and the rest were women and children. But the fighting power of the Caucasian women could not be underestimated. These women and children were not warriors, but if there was a real battle, the children over ten years old could at least be used as beginner swordsmen.
On the way back to Caucasian, Sicca had already received the recognition of the Necklace of Bones and became a real battle priest. This was the first battle priest in her hometown in hundreds of years, so when she returned to the village, Sicca gained great power. Two powerful villages nearby also came to rely on her. At this time, Sicca mentioned moving and provided a lot of information about the continent. The three village chiefs discussed and agreed to Sicca's suggestion.
In fact, even if Sicca didn't mention it, they would have moved anyway. Because the Vatican had been harassing them even more recently, and there were many battles nearby, the Caucasian region would soon be involved in the war. The village chiefs knew that this was unavoidable, so they had already decided to move north and enter the Rhine Duchy.
Battle priests had a very high status. When Sicca said that there was a vast land, the village chiefs were naturally tempted. Although the winter there was long, the environment in the Caucasian region was also very bad.
The Caucasians were very disciplined. The troop of more than two thousand people was almost silent. Many of the warriors rode demon wolves. The wolves looked docile and harmless. When the troop stopped, they lowered their heads and lay obediently on the ground. Of course, Salin could not let the troop wait on the main road. He personally led the troop to the center of the city.
The two Gaugass Warriors wearing magic armor behind Shika kept sizing up Salin. 'Is this the man the Battle Priests often talked about?' He looked like an adult. His physical condition was average, just like an adult Caucasian.
These two warriors were the most powerful people in the village. Of course, the village chief and the elders were not included. Once Shika's position was confirmed, the two of them were sent to Shika's side as his attendants.
Shika still had a carefree look on her face. She chatted and laughed with Salin all the way to the garden area south of the shrine. This place was originally meant for Salin's private army, but when Salin saw that the Gaugass warriors Shika had brought were a lot stronger than he had imagined, he immediately decided to let the women and children live here.
The Caucasians had a good reputation. They were good at fighting, loyal, and united. Salin had already made up his mind. In the future, other than the swordsmen on Seriger Island, he would only have these Caucasian people by his side. Adding mages to these Caucasians would make them an elite unit.
If enough demon wolves were tamed, the combat power of this unit would be equivalent to half of a swordsman battalion. If they could tame enough Demon Wolves, then the fighting strength of a flag regiment would be equivalent to half of a swordsman battalion.
Although he hadn't made sufficient preparations, Salin still discussed the details with the village chiefs after settling down the Caucasians.
Salin straightforwardly expressed his thoughts. He hoped that these Gaugass warriors would become his private army. All the expenses would be borne by him, and the encampment would be right where it was.
The village chiefs were a little hesitant. Salin said, "Elders, the continent is about to fall into chaos. I know you don't like this kind of life, but I can promise you that this army is only responsible for the safety of this city. I definitely won't let them go on expeditions far away. If the war spreads here, I think everyone will have to pick up their weapons. I can only form a unit now. That's one thousand people. I will assign mages to every brigade. "
"Every brigade will have mages?"
"Yes. I will also make magic armor and weapons for you. That way, you won't be at a disadvantage when you meet mages or mages."
The elders in the room began to discuss. In the end, the oldest Caucasian said, "Sir Mage, you know that Caucasians are the most loyal warriors. But this concerns the entire race. We hope to sign a contract with you. We will only be loyal to you. Other than you and Priest Schika, we will not accept anyone else's orders."
"Alright!" Salin agreed. He was more than happy to do so.
"We have many children. I hope you can help us choose some to learn swordsmanship or magic. These children can join your army, but there must be at least a hundred of them to follow Priest Schika."
"No problem."
"Our food …"
"As my private army, your logistics will be prioritized. This place will be expanded into a closed camp. I will only choose trustworthy people to live in. I have also chosen land outside the city for you to plant. There is also a granary built by mages. No matter how long the winter, no one will starve. "
"Sir Mage, we still have many demon wolves."
Salin glanced at Schika. Schika explained, "To preserve the wild nature of the demon wolves, we will often bring them out to hunt. There are more than four hundred demon wolves in the three villages. "
"Hmm, let me think." Salin thought for a while. "The south of the city can be used as a hunting ground, but it is not suitable for planting. There are many mountains in the south. The land suitable for farming is in the north. Which side do you want? "
"Sir Mage, are you saying that we are allowed to build a village?" The older Caucasian understood what Salin meant.
"Of course." Salin thought. If they settled in the city all year round, the Caucasians would gradually degenerate.
The village chief and elders were overjoyed. Finally, they decided to build a village in the south. The Caucasians still liked the mountains. Although the plains in the north were good, it was not the land they were used to.
The matter of the Caucasians was quickly settled. Salin calculated. With more than two thousand people, the problem of food was imminent. His three warships carried a lot of food, but there were less than a thousand people in the original city base. Rex took more than two hundred with him, which was enough to feed the remaining people for a year or two. Now, there were almost three thousand Caucasians and a thousand barbarians. The food would be tight until next spring.
Rex had left a lot of food before he left, but they could not count on it. If Rex came back two or three months later, everyone would starve.
The barbarians and Caucasians could hunt, but there was a limit to their prey. They could not rely on hunting to feed the thousands of people. Salin called Fareins and asked him to bring some people to Lianyun City to buy some food. As long as they could survive until next May, Rex should be back no matter what.
After arranging all this, Salin told Schika that he was going to the Frozen Sea.
"Schika, how about you stay and watch them?" Salin discussed.
"No, I want to go with you." Schika refused decisively. Salin did not know why, but he was happy. It seemed like he could only keep Daniel. But Daniel was only a level-four mage, and Christian was a level-five mage. He could not let Christian listen to Daniel.
This time, to ensure safety, he had to bring the Undead Lord with him. Salin thought about it and could only keep Diabinus. Banchagana was not at ease with him, and so was Judy and Coco. Although these three were bound by the contract, Salin was still worried that something might happen.
The four Magical Beast Swordsmen were left behind by Salin to assist Christian. Zola followed Salin. Salin now knew that he was no longer the same as before. He had to be responsible for the future of many people, so he couldn't take any risks. With Zola, even if something happened to the Undead Lord, he could still deal with professionals above level seven. As long as they did not encounter a level-nine mage, they could still escape.
There were many things to do. By the time everything was arranged, it was already night.
Helene was depressed. She and Aini were called back to eat on the second floor of the city hall. Seeing Schika, she was even more sure that Neris did not lie to her. This female Caucasian was too beautiful. Helene had thought that Neris was already stunning. Seeing Schika, Helene even felt a little ashamed.
Schika's eyes were too pure, like … stars.
Was this the woman who made Salin lose his composure? Why were his opponents always so difficult to deal with? It was said that Rex was also the lover of many swordsmen. Salin did not hide the closeness between him and Schika at all. It seemed that the two of them already had a special relationship.
Helene did not know the taste of food. She only felt that everything she ate was sour. Schika, on the other hand, did not change her true colors. Helene's mood improved a lot. Although Schika was beautiful, she was uncultured. After all, she was Caucasian.
After eating the last leg of lamb, Schika touched her stomach and said, "I'm tired. I'm going back to sleep. Salin, should I send two warriors to keep watch for you? "
Salin shook his head and asked, "You're not coming over to stay?"
Helene's eyelids twitched, but Schika said, "Not today. I have to go back and make arrangements for them. Those guys don't really trust you. "
"Okay, then come over early tomorrow morning.
