"Bang!"
Aubry slammed his wine glass on the table and belched, "If you ask me, you're just adding fuel to the fire. This amount of equipment isn't enough to go around at all. They'll definitely fight each other to get this equipment. Who knows, they might even get into a fight."
Tang En said calmly, "It's up to you how you want to distribute it. It has nothing to do with me."
"Can't you get them all at once?"
Even Aradeline was worried, mainly because the sudden situation today had raised everyone's vigilance. Now, the recruits would definitely fight to the death for a piece of good equipment.
"We don't have enough production capacity, and this is already very fast, okay?"
Tang En spread his hands and said, "At least when this batch of weapons and equipment is in place, the casualty rate will be greatly reduced."
"But how do we distribute it?"
"Priority is given to the combatants of the Third Legion of the New Empire. As for the Holy See's Knights Templar, their main role now is to release divine spells to support the battle. They don't have to fight the enemy head-on. Their casualty rate is very low, so we can let them go. Besides, the delivery date with the Holy See is the 15th of the month of harvest. There's still half a month left.
There's no need to rush. "Tang En's words solved a big problem for Aubry and Aradeline. The two of them let out a long sigh of relief. At least when the people of the Holy See came to question them, they would have someone to blame, right?
Tang En poured himself a cup of ale, took a sip, and asked, "Now tell me what's going on. Why did so many demons suddenly appear?"
Aubry shook his head. "We don't know. Those demons dug through the ground and then came out from underground. They started attacking without saying anything."
"Dug through the ground? Don't be kidding. Although we don't know where the Abyss of Purgatory is, it must be very deep. Do they have the patience to do that? "
Tang En obviously didn't quite believe it, but looking at the two of them, it was clearly the truth. This made Tang En ponder deeply.
Could it be that because he destroyed the isolation layer set by the gods, the demons could come to the surface more easily?
If this was spread out, he would be scolded to death.
Tang En immediately changed the topic. "Since we're already in this situation, let's not talk about the reason. What we need to consider is how to deal with them."
Aradeline said with a deep voice. "Judging from the demons that attacked us today, the invading demons are not very powerful. If all the equipment is in place in the later stage, we are confident that we can control this area with these people and kill them as they come."
Of course, the main forces of the demons were all in the Purgatory Abyss, tied down by the Devil Army. They could only send some unimportant cannon fodder here, and the strongest would probably only be at the Extraordinary level. At most, there would be one or two Honorable level powerhouses. There was no need to even think about Legendary level powerhouses. Even in the bloody battlefield of the Purgatory Abyss, Legendary-level demons were powerhouses that could hold their own.
Tang En nodded. "There's still half a month left. At least during this time, you'll have to work harder."
Of course, Aubury and Aradeline knew this, and they were already mentally prepared. "Next, we plan to contact the two subjugation teams and reorganize the main forces. We'll set up a patrol team and an emergency mobile team to fully control the entire Rift Valley …"
Originally, they thought that there would only be a few demons, so they split up and mixed the teams. However, now that the demons were starting to appear here endlessly, the original plan would have to be changed. They would probably have to change from guerrilla warfare to positional warfare.
"If we're talking about positional warfare, supplies are very important."
Aradeline stared straight at Tang En. After taking a sip of wine, Aubury also understood and stared at Tang En and chuckled.
"What?"
"Look, there are almost twenty thousand people stationed here. It has completely become a military camp. Whether it's for fighting or training, this is the frontline against the demons. Don't you think that a teleportation circle is very needed here?"
Tang En was stunned. "But how are you going to keep it a secret here?"
The more people there were, the harder it was to control. The reason why Ellington's teleportation circle could still be kept a secret was that it was sealed in a sealed room. No one could enter without permission.
Not to mention the camp in the Rift Valley. Not only were there ten thousand soldiers of the Third Legion of the New Empire, four thousand of Ellington's elites, and thirteen thousand of the Holy See's Knights Templar, it would be a joke to try to keep the transportation of supplies a secret in front of so many people …
"Keep it a secret? You're already a king. What's there to keep it a secret for? "
Aubury looked at Tang En with a puzzled expression. "If you're really ambitious, publicizing the news of the teleportation circle might tempt those countries to attack you. You can find an excuse to fight back. If you're not ambitious, the news of the teleportation circle will also greatly increase the national pride and unity, greatly promoting the development of the country and making the country stronger … What are you afraid of?"
"It's not that I'm afraid of anything. It's just that it's not the time yet."
Tang En said helplessly. "I need to use the development of the magic industry to guide the whole country back on track. The Datang Chamber of Commerce will continue to develop transportation tools. These factories will create a lot of jobs and increase economic vitality. Then, these products will be very attractive without the teleportation circle, and this attraction will bring us a lot of wealth.
"The more wealth I have, the more power I have to control, and I can guide the whole country to develop in the direction I want.
"But if the news of the teleportation circle is made public, and there's a teleportation circle that can instantly reach other cities, do you think they'll buy Harley motorcycles or Mana Sedan?"
Tang En said helplessly. "People have the habit of liking the new and disliking the old. If there's something better, there's no way they'll choose something worse. So, I have to take it step by step. I can't reach the sky in one step."
"I don't understand."
Tang En said a lot, and in the end, Aubrey answered him with three words.
Finally, for a boor like Aubrey, things like the economy, income, and jobs were completely blind.
"Don't say too much to him."
Aradeline looked at him with disdain, and then said to Tang En, "Since you want to keep it a secret, set up a separate material warehouse, and let Ellington's people be in charge of it alone. No one else is allowed to enter. After all, material matters are more important. We can't let you deliver things every time."
After thinking for a moment, Tang En also agreed to this compromise. If the military administration said that no one was allowed to go near an area, then it was absolutely forbidden to go near it. If anyone insisted on going there, they could just punish them directly. It was simple and convenient.
So that night, Tang En used earth magic to build a large warehouse in the camp of the Great Rift Valley. After using spells to reinforce it, the rock warehouse was as strong as metal, and a small teleportation circle was set up in the warehouse.
Aubrey was quite satisfied with this result. "With the teleportation circle, it'll be more convenient for us to go to and from Alinx."
Aradeline smiled. "It's also much more convenient to send messages. Perhaps we should send someone to tell the Guild of Mercenaries and ask them to send some people over to support us."
Tang En was stunned. "Why do we need to ask the Guild of Mercenaries for support?"
"Oh, you misunderstood."
Aradeline was stunned for a moment, and then explained, "Didn't the Guild of Mercenaries issue a crusade against demons earlier? We met a mercenary in the morning and got some information from him. A mercenary group that participated in the mission was besieged in a valley in the northwest. I think it's better to leave this matter to the Mercenary Association. We don't need to sacrifice our warriors for those guys who sell their lives for money. "
Tang En deeply agreed. Mercenaries had always been guys who did not care about their lives for money. Those people would do anything. Although many bards praised and promoted the colorful life of mercenaries, and many young people yearned for the life of mercenaries, in fact, most mercenary groups were rather dark places.
It was not worth sacrificing their own people to save them.
After leaving the warehouse, Aubrey first ordered a few guards to stay here and wait for Ellington's people to come back before changing the guards.
"I'm begging you! We need support! Our people can't hold on for much longer! "
At this time, a slightly hoarse voice came from the side. Tang En vaguely felt that the voice was a little familiar. Before he could figure it out, a black shadow suddenly appeared beside him and blocked in front of Aubrey.
"Sir Aubrey! Please send support! Our mercenary group can't hold on for much longer! We … Lord Tang En!? "
Tang En looked at the bear-like Orc in front of him as if he had seen a ghost. "Ursa? Why are you here? Wait! Are you the trapped mercenary group? "
"Yes! It's us, the Phoenix Mercenary Group! "
When he suddenly saw Tang En, Ursa was overjoyed. He knew Tang En's strength very well. Even if there was no support, as long as he could get Tang En's help, the entire mercenary group could be saved. Moreover, they were friends with Tang En.
"Lord Tang En! Please help us! We need support! "
As if he had found a life-saving straw, Ursa changed the target of his call for help to Tang En.
Aubrey and Arden were very surprised. They did not expect this Orc to know Tang En.
"Okay, I promise you."
Tang En immediately changed his previous plan. If it was any other mercenary group, it would have been fine. However, the Phoenix Mercenary Group had fought side by side with him in the past and had many dealings with them. If he could help them, he would do so. Perhaps there would be a chance to incorporate them in the future.
It did not matter if it was not convenient for the joint army to mobilize. He could do it in his personal capacity.
It was a pleasant surprise to be able to get Tang En to help. Ursa was so excited that his eyes were brimming with tears. "Thank you, thank you so much!"
"Let's go first. Tell me about the situation as we go."
Tang En picked up Ursa and rushed into the sky, flying northwest.
"The situation is very bad!"
Ursa briefly told Tang En about the current situation. In fact, like most mercenaries, the Phoenix Mercenary Group was too confident and rash. By the time they realized it, they were already trapped.
