"You asked Ainphent to do that?!" Salin was shocked.
"Don't worry, Ainphent went to find his uncle first. My remaining fifty guards are all there, and I'm bringing them to Metatlin City. When your Aunt Lannie and I found out that Ainphent brought the guards and family I left for him to your place, we knew that he had already made up his mind to do a big business with you. "Feliot sighed.
The couple had high hopes for Ainphent, but with Salin around, Ainphent's achievements were not as they wished. Fortunately, Ainphent cared more about his achievements in magic. Ainphent was still young, and it would not be difficult for him to become a Necromancer. This satisfied the parents.
However, it was not good for the Church to exterminate all Necromancers. Ainphent and his parents had also mentioned that the conflict between Salin and the Church could not be reconciled.
If Ainphent started his business with Salin, he would at least have a guarantee that he would not be betrayed.
As for the Clyde Family, the Feliots had already been disappointed by their son's matter. Ainphent wanted to be independent and leave the family, and the two began to secretly support him. Especially Lannie. Her family was considered a local tyrant, and after a thousand years, they still had the title of third-rank viscount.
Although the title was small, the power hidden in this family was not small. During the time when the two could not leave Holy Rock City, they had entrusted the Lannie Family to operate in secret. Thus, after Ainphent became a Necromancer, he had a place to cultivate in peace, and directly received the manpower and money his parents had left him.
"Ainphent should not go out before he becomes a Magic Shooter. I let him go alone this time because there are two hundred royal swordsmen following him. In Qinyin, the nobles, big or small, would not dare to make a move. If he is a thief, he does not have that ability. " Salin could not help but blame the Feliots. But it was their son, and if they were not worried, it would not be good for him to say too much.
"Don't worry, Ainphent is a Necromancer. Ordinary people cannot touch him," Lannie comforted Salin. Salin also knew that if a Necromancer wanted to escape, it was indeed difficult to catch. Back then, Daniel had actually escaped tens of thousands of miles without being caught by the Church.
"Uncle Feliot …"
"What is it?" Seeing Salin's hesitation, Felrett smiled. Salin's aura was more sunny than Ainphent's. After reuniting with Salin, Ainphent's murderous aura weakened a lot. This was a good thing for a Magician. As for their fondness for Salin, it was merely the mentality of an elder.
Salin endured it, but he still didn't dare to say what was in his heart. He could only say, "When we reach Metatlin City, I'll build you a level-nine Magic Tower."
"Not on the tenth floor?" Lanny joked.
"Heh, building a ten-story Magical Tower is a show of Battle Spirit, and it's a show of attitude towards the Church. If you can break through the ninth level, I'll build a ten-story Magic Tower, "Salin replied calmly.
Salin had the guts and the money. In any case, he was already at loggerheads with the Holy See. Even if he didn't provoke the Holy See, the Holy See would still send troops to annihilate him. After all, he had divinity in his left hand and could perform Goddess Myers' divine spell. He had been through so many things, and no matter how timid he was, he could still be cultivated to be big enough.
"Since you're willing to listen, I'll tell you." As they were talking, Nania walked into the cabin, and Ferret said without a trace, "I've heard about your army from Ainphent. It's really not much." He didn't continue talking about getting Salin to plot against the Rhine Duchy, because Nania was a Mage by Rex's side, after all.
"I know." Salin was also helpless. He had money and materials, and could build the best equipment, the strongest armor, and weapons, but he didn't have qualified soldiers. Not to mention the swordsman battalion under Rex, those in the royal swordsman battalion were all incomparably brave and knew how to fight.
"You have to start from a small place, and only make a flag regiment. Then, with this flag regiment as the core, develop more troops," Ferret guided patiently.
"A flag regiment? Only a thousand people, that's not even enough to defend a city. "
"I've heard about the scale of Metatlin City. Even if a group of farmers were to defend it, it would be difficult to break through. What you need now is an army that's good at attacking and fighting in the field. That way, it won't be easy for the enemy to besiege you."
"I have Caucasians."
"The best use of Caucasians is for surprise attacks, to cut off the enemy's retreat, and to burn their rations. In a head-on battle, the combat power of Caucasians is about the same as my bodyguards. "
"Then what should we do?"
"Don't you have a necromancer under you? You can build an all-magic cavalry first. "
"All magic cavalry?"
"Yes, all the soldiers and warhorses will be skeleton warhorses or undead warhorses. All the servants will be undead. There will only be a thousand humans in this flag regiment. Every brigade must have a necromancer, and every squad must have a necromancer of the second rank or above. Every squad must have at least three necromancy apprentices. All the soldiers will wear magic armor and use alchemy weapons. "
"Hiss … this consumption!" Salin was excited after hearing Ferret's description, but he immediately thought of the consumption problem. Such a cavalry could cover a thousand miles in a day and a night if they marched quickly.
He had a variety of blueprints for magic armor, so he could customize the most suitable armor and weapons for warriors of different levels. With the help of necromancers, this army would have about two to three thousand necromancers. Their combat power would not be inferior to Rex's swordsman battalion. Although it would consume a lot of resources, it was the fastest way to increase combat power.
No! He had Neris, who could summon demons. Building a demon army was the most economical and practical. Salin immediately dismissed the idea of building a magic army. This suggestion would have been the best if Neris hadn't been there.
"Uncle Ferret, I have a better idea. In the future, I want to use necromancers at sea. "
"Oh?" Ferret did not ask Salin what better idea he had, but Salin's temper was not one to speak carelessly. If he was not confident, he would not have asked.
"But using necromancers to build an army is a good idea. This time, Ainphent is here, and many of the battles are led by necromancers. Otherwise, our losses will be great." Salin said, and suddenly said to Nania, "Nania, what do you think?"
"Of course, when Qin Yin was founded, there were many necromancers in the army, and the undead cavalry was an army that terrified the enemy," Nania said casually. This impression was deeply buried in the bones of the people of Qin Yin. No matter what kind of mage they were, those who could defeat the enemy were good mages.
The law of the Vatican was to kill all necromancers. In the eyes of the people of Qin Yin, this was a naked insult. Because necromancers had contributed greatly to the founding of Qin Yin. By doing this, the Vatican was saying that the heroes of the founding of their country were all evil creatures that should be killed.
However, the Vatican was powerful in the Tanggulas Empire, and the nearby necromancers had long fled to Qin Yin, so no one resisted.
"What about the demons?" Salin asked Nania.
"Demons? Their reputation hasn't been good for the past one or two thousand years. It would have been fine before the Fourth Dynasty. "
Nania was telling the truth. Now that the strength of humans had declined, ordinary demons had the strength of swordmasters, and humans had to train hard to become swordmasters before the age of thirty. Geniuses like Su were already extremely rare. Humans could not control demons, so the reputation of demons would naturally not be good. Before this, humans were strong enough, and demons were the most loyal fighters.
"So, if there is a demon army, Holy Rock City will not allow it?"
"Holy Rock City is not afraid, but the local nobles are!"
"Master!" Su spoke up from the side. "The demons cannot be trusted!"
Trish smiled faintly. If you were strong enough, you could trust the demons. For example, if Sue became a Golden Sword Saint, the number of demons willing to sign a contract with him would be a few hundred miles away. Even now, there were many demons willing to follow Sue and sign a contract with humans. As long as it was not a soul contract, it was still beneficial to the demons. This was especially true for powerful humans, who could allow demons to obtain more abilities and a longer lifespan.
In the subcontinent plane, the demons there were actually mixed races, not creatures of the Demonic Plane. In the subcontinent plane, survival was not as difficult as in the Demonic Plane, but the creatures with demonic blood did not dominate, which was simply a shame. The experts of the Demonic Plane knew about the subcontinent plane. Sometimes, demons would want to summon demons, but they would often be devoured by demons.
Demons cannot be trusted? Salin remembered the magic notebook he obtained, written by an ancient Great Demon. That Great Demon and his master had already developed a relationship that only humans could have. In order to find a wisp of his master's soul, how many planes did that Great Demon go to?
Cannot be trusted? What a joke. Fortunately, Nelis was not here, or else Sue would have suffered.
The Winged Skeleton was silent. He thought about Salin's words. Salin obviously did not want the army to use too much money. The idea of building their own fleet was good, but it was the most expensive army. All the undead relied on the countless resources in the vast sea.
But if these resources were all given to Salin, he could build a steel-like army on land.
In Salin's mind, after Felrett's reminder, he finally had a rudimentary plan for the army. Without suitable soldiers, he would summon demons first. Demons were too strong and difficult to control, so he would summon imps or familiars. These creatures with demonic blood did not need treatment after being injured. They could recover on their own. They were definitely good material for soldiers.
As for what others thought of him? It was better to defend Metatlin City first. When he returned this time, he would not leave Metatlin City no matter what. He would first find a way to advance to a Magic Shooter. As for the subjects, he did not intend to use the letter that Joey gave him. Otherwise, he could directly have the loyalty of a count.
