Salin laid down. A hug from Sicar was equivalent to a swordsman's fierce attack.
"Salin, your army is a mess. You should reorganize it." Sicar massaged Salin's arm. This time, she controlled her strength, and Salin felt much better.
"What do you mean? My army, which Rex helped train. I separated those who received training and divided them into five battalions. That was Qin Yin's official training method. "Salin retorted. He didn't think Rex would cut corners. Rex was still very diligent in the training of his army. Now, there was a battalion that was still fighting with Rex. When this army came back, it would be a true elite army.
"Sharman has been sent here. Have you thought about what to do with her?" Sicar asked.
"Be a low-ranking officer first. Promote her after familiarizing herself with the army."
"Why? Is she a noble? Does she have military merits? "Sicar asked.
"Uh …" Salin was speechless. He really wasn't cut out for military management. "Then what should I do?" Salin asked. Although Sicar managed a lot of people, there were many elders helping her. She didn't have any experience in managing an army.
Unexpectedly, Sicar really gave Salin an idea. She said to Salin, "Your army is completely different from others. Have you thought about it? You will have a large number of necromancers in the future. After knowing the result of your battle with the Vatican, many necromancers will come to you. And with Neris helping you build the demon city, the demons will also be the main force of your army."
"Oh? That's right! "Salin remembered that even the main force of his navy was necromancers.
"Since that's the case, your army will definitely be different from others. Why should you learn from others? The armies of the empires are also different from a thousand years ago. Also, the division of the army is related to interests. Since Teacher is not coming, you have to make everyone feel at ease. "
"What do you mean?" Salin didn't understand again.
"Even if you distribute it evenly now, there is no standard. Everyone thinks that when Teacher Jason comes, Seriger Island will completely control the army, and no one will get anything. You're a Magician, so you don't think about these things. Ordinary people want to make contributions and get land. Their thoughts are completely different from yours. "
This was a very simple logic, but because of Salin's identity and status, he would not think this way. Hearing Sicar's words, he was shocked. It would have been fine if he hadn't signed a contract with Goddess Myers, but now that he had signed a contract, he had to find ways to compete for believers in the world. There would definitely be a lot of wars in the future.
Without a strong army, even if he gathered all the mages on Serrig Island, he would not be able to control much land. The resources that Salin had now were enough for him to cultivate to above level-nine. However, if he could not spread the faith of the Goddess of Nature, he would not be able to escape the punishment of the thousand-year contract.
"Sicar, get up. Nelis, go and gather all our people. We'll have a meeting next door." Salin pulled Sicar up. He didn't want to rest.
"Wait for me to put on my clothes!" Sicar shook off Salin's hand and began to put on his armor. Her armor and weapons were all reforged by Salin. They were pure magic equipment, so Shika could control them with ease.
Almost all of Salin's trusted followers, except for Daniel, lived in the temple. Salin summoned them, and they quickly rushed over. There was not much nonsense between people on his side. Salin simply talked about the problems of the army, and everyone was speechless.
When Salin first recruited followers, what he valued was individual combat power. In terms of management ability, all of them added up couldn't compare to Rex.
There was only one exception, and that was Eleanor. Eleanor had not only followed that mysterious Marquis for many years, but before coming to Myers Continent, she was also a member of the royal family of the Elven Plane. Salin had the highest expectations of her.
Eleanor did not speak because she felt like an outsider. In this plane, only Sue was in the same boat as her. Although Nelis was a demon, the connection between the Demon Plane and Myers Continent was very close. The Elven Plane, on the other hand, was too far away, and could not be communicated with with a simple magic array.
Even if she had the accurate coordinates of the Elven Plane, she still could not go home.
It was not that the others did not want to speak, but they knew their limits. For this kind of thing, the best thing they could do was to listen to orders and be the executors. If they wanted to be the planners, they did not have the ability.
Eleanor sighed and said, "Then I will say it."
Salin thought, I was waiting for you to speak. You have followed that Marquis for many days, and it is not a problem for you to lead over ten thousand troops. Didn't the entire Pink Legion move freely between the Tanggulas Empire and the Titan Empire in your hands?
"We have an advantage that others do not have. Everyone here is the Lord's follower and contractor, so there is no need to hide it. The number of magic cores we control is about half of Alchemy City's. We also have a large number of mines and islands in the north and on the sea. We are self-sufficient in metals. As long as the Magicians are in our hands, the Lord's position is unshakable. "
Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Eleanor felt much better. There were still few people around Salin, and there was not much scheming against each other. This made her feel a sense of belonging.
"My Lord has given out 200,000 magic cores as a share of the sales in order to rope in the nobles. In fact, we can give them more benefits. As long as we get the magicians and magic cores that they need to rely on, we can control the nobles. Therefore, continuing to delegate power is the first priority. Let the four Grand Dukes do whatever they want. After all, they are already dead set on us. They are the best role models. "
Eleanor's words were all very general. Then, she changed the topic and continued, "In the future battles, our main forces will be the vanguard, while the nobles' armies will be the support. We will seize large swathes of land. Therefore, the size of our army does not need to be too large. The construction of the Evil Demon City will be completed by the end of the year. In about three years' time, we can accumulate our strength. This much time is enough to build the Evil Demon Army. "
"Demons cannot be trusted." It was Nelis who spoke. No one else dared to say this in front of her.
"Our army, with the purple gold sea urchin, has very little requirements for logistics. We only need elite soldiers, no support soldiers. Let the nobles do the rough work. We only need to attack and defend the city. Therefore, my opinion is to let the nobles build their own army according to their titles. Every expedition will be led by the king. "
Seeing that everyone did not understand, Eleanor said helplessly, "Raising such elite soldiers requires a large amount of magic materials. The nobles will definitely not be able to do it. They can raise the main army, but the magic power of the army depends on the Lord. Without the Lord's support, they will not even be able to defend their own territory. Therefore, other than the army, we need to build a Magic Guild. "
"Magic Guild?" Salin was very interested.
"It is similar to the Mercenary Guild. If we control the Guild, it is equivalent to controlling all the mages in the country. Without mages, the nobles will not be able to rebel. It is equivalent to being tied to us. "
Eleanor's suggestion was definitely a way to ruin people's livelihood. However, it was agreed by everyone. Salin still had a year and a half of empty time. During this time, he really could not let his guard down.
"After that, it is simple. We need to divide our unique equipment into different categories and build armies with different functions. Some will be responsible for defense, and some will be responsible for offense. Using the navy as an example, we need at least four fleets.
"The first fleet has to guard the Frozen Sea. That is the source of our magic cores. Although there are many magical beasts in the coastal waters, it is difficult to hunt them. If we hunt too many, their numbers will plummet in the second year. "The second fleet will be the main force of the Dragon Skeleton Warship. It will defend the south. Other than Cloud Flow City, it also includes Lianyun City and Alchemy City. "The third fleet will be purely defensive. It will patrol between Demon City and Metatlin City. The fourth fleet will be for an expedition. Their targets are Scotia and Tanggulas Empire."
Eleanor said in an unquestionable tone, "No matter what happens in the future, the important ports along the coast must be under our control. The nobles are not allowed to have a navy!"
"Then there's the army. Metatlin can hold millions of people. Right now, we only have 500,000, so there's still a lot of room for development. If we want to completely protect this city, we'll need 100,000 people in Metatlin, not including West Town and North Town. However … when the Lord's teacher comes, this number can be reduced. Six battalions are enough. These six battalions do not need to go on an expedition. They will be stationed in Metatlin City. We will build 10 battalions first. The remaining four battalions will be used to control the land 200 kilometers to the west and 500 kilometers to the north. "
"Many of these lands have been given to the nobles." Zola asked. He had been in the palace before, and he felt that the nobles would not easily give up on the land they had already obtained.
"Although the land in the north is fertile, the suitable time for farming is too short. Without magic machinery, the nobles cannot guarantee the interests of the farmers. The Lord can give away the land in the south that you conquer in the future. Metatlin City must only have its own army. We cannot allow so many nobles' forces to appear! "
Salin nodded in agreement. Eleanor did not know about the Hell of God's Punishment yet, but she already had such foresight. He had spent so much effort to build Metatlin, and she could see the secret hidden within.
