hero destiny

The news of the undead army appearing in the Dragon Meteor Swamp made Redding terminate his trip to Cliff in advance!

In view of the recent recovery of Bay Sea City and the need for appeasement by a large group of refugees, Angela decided to stay and preside over the overall situation. Similarly, in order to ensure the safety of this new territory, Master Bruce and Tauren Warrior Kaboka also stayed with the accompanying army. In addition to cleaning up the remnants of the barbarians near Wanhai County, they also had to prepare for the construction of the Dragon God Armed Fortress.

After kissing Angela goodbye, Redding took most of the Port Thunder Mage Group, took the last airship at hand, and flew in the direction of Fort Lightning - the current army under Redding, except for those stationed in Port Thunder Apart from the [-] elite, most of the rest are gathered between the mountains along the line of Lightning Fort.

In order to resist the infiltration of the Principality of Cliff and the barbarian offensive in winter, Angela, who was previously in charge of the military deployment of Port Thunder, in order to ensure the safety of the territory, she just scraped together a batch of construction materials that were in short supply. According to the detailed information released, dozens of small military fortresses were planted among the mountains of the Thunder Mountain Range on the northwest side of Fort Lightning.

If only relying on the regular army on the side of Leiming Port, it is natural that there is no way to defend everything. However, if local force is added, it will be no problem to do some guarding and warning work. There are continuous underground refugees fleeing from the Earth Secret Realm, and there are many powerful races like the Minotaur, Medusa, and Harpy among them. Most of these sporadic fleeing residents were separated by ethnic groups by Redding and concentrated in Fort Lightning. outside area.

Not long ago, Sharui specifically counted the data of these new populations, and included these 5-odd non-identical races into the territory of Thunder Port, even though the population here is not as large as those around Thunder Port. There are many, but when it comes to personal combat power, the underground groups of these villages can definitely suppress the 20 farmers and citizens of humans.

Among the intelligent races in the thick earth secret realm, the crypt humans are the most numerous, but most of them have surrendered to the dark elves. After all, only a very small number of them are willing to give up most of their property and flee directly. Therefore, in the mountains northwest of Lightning Fort, Most of the underground groups that Laidin gathered were strong fighters who had beliefs and obsessions and lived in poverty.

As far as the current situation is concerned, although these underground groups are forced by the situation and surrender to Leiding on the surface, they do not agree with the rule of Thunder Port in their bones. At least Angela and Sharui's behavior of conscripting them into the army was tactfully dismissed. Some refused—the low-ranking officer in charge of recruiting had worked hard in the villages of these powerful fighters for several months, but apart from a few 'spies' who wanted to go to see human society, they had no real gains.

However, corresponding to this, the formation of the militia to defend the homeland became very popular—villages where almost all the people enlisted in the army made those low-level officers in charge of training the militia feel like a dream. What a wonderful thing it would be for a soldier who is close to the strength of the black iron class to join his command!

The refugees who escaped from the secret land of Thick Earth, because of their ignorance and mistrust of human beings, tried their best to avoid joining the regular army that needed to travel far, but they had no scruples if they were just guarding their homes.Because according to the underground order, every underground ethnic group must rely on their own strength to defend their homeland. Now, it is definitely a must for them to join the militia that rations food during training and distributes some metal weapons. A good thing that took a big advantage.

With such a wave of powerful fighters, Redding will certainly not let it go, but as the lord of Port Thunder, he understands that this matter must not be forced, otherwise the riots caused may make the situation on the front line of Fort Lightning even worse. more urgent.Now the threat of the Principality of Cliff has been basically eliminated. As long as Redding can make good use of these mountain leaders, then the military fortress with the mountain fortress, as long as there is the regular army of Lightning Fort to assist, the barbarians can be defeated. The harassing troops were easily turned away.

In order to shrink the military forces near Fort Lightning back to Port Thunder as much as possible, without using coercive decrees, if Redding wants to make these strong men take the initiative to attack, the only means he can use is to lure them Lee's trick!Although Ledin already has some ideas, the specific plan can only be determined after he meets Sha Rui and finds out the actual situation.

Today, the northern line of the area controlled by Port of Thunder has been pushed to the Wanhai County and Mercury County of the Principality of Cliff. As long as Redding can build the Dragon God Fortress at the location of the City of Mercury, then the future cooperation with the Principality of Cliff will The battle will revolve around the line of the Black Rock Mountain Range, which is also the area that Laiding is paying close attention to recently.

In the western area of ​​Port Thunder, except for the Crystal Valley that goes deep into the Black Forest, most of them belong to the territory controlled by the barbarians. It's not the alliance. If Diarra and the people in the thick earth secret realm dare to show their faces at will, they will definitely have to fight with the barbarian tribe first.

Compared with the northwest, the situation in the southeast of Port Thunder is very complicated. This area is theoretically the territory of the Kingdom of Stormwind—but since the beast tide two years ago, the refugees were shrunk into Leiding in Port Thunder. Due to the scarcity of population and lack of strength, they have not taken care of incorporating those barren territories for the time being.

The area currently under the actual control of Laydin, with Port Thunder as the center, only extends about [-] kilometers to the southeast side, and the south barely reaches the periphery of Silver Mountain Camilla. In other words, as long as you leave Camilla Further south, it is no longer the area that can be passed through by the Leiming Port Government Order.

The area on the south side of Camilla was originally the fiefdom of the small nobles of the Stormwind Kingdom, but after being baptized by the beast tide and the barbarian soldiers, it has long been fragmented and there is no order. The only thing we can know is that there are often refugees fleeing into the area. Camilla, this shows that at least that side has not become a dead place with no people.

To the northeast of Port Thunder is the vast endless sea, and on the southeast side, you have to cross hundreds of kilometers of plain forests to enter the edge of the Green Well Swamp - here is the territory of the agreement between the elf forces of the Flower Language Forest and the Storm Kingdom limit!

Near the Bearhead Mountains on the west side of the Green Well Swamp, there are hundreds of aristocratic fiefdoms. Behind these small and small noble families, stand His Majesty the King and the top real powerful nobles in the Stormwind Kingdom. Among them, the most famous It is the Gran family who occupy the main mine lode of Bear Head Mountain, and this is also the origin of Brown Bear Knight Bill.

Generally speaking, under Leiding's arrangement, although Thunder Port's forces are not very strong, if it is only for defense, there is still no major problem at present.

The only difference from the game is that Port Thunder has provoked an extra Grand Duke Cliff this time.

However, based on Ledding's understanding of the northern principality, Grand Duke Cliff may have to fight for at least half a year if he wants to completely stabilize the domestic situation. A year later, although the alchemy fighters under the Grand Duke will continue to increase as time goes by, there are also two mature Dragon God Fortresses on the side of Thunder Port. If Grand Duke Cliff Royal If you are willing to procrastinate, then Leiding will definitely welcome you with raised hands.

The only thing that worries Ledin is the naval warship of the Principality of Cliff.After all, Wanhai City and Leiming Port are both coastal cities. Even if the city is protected by the Mage Tower, the surrounding wealthy areas still cannot escape the threat of the carrier-based magic circle. Unfortunately, it is necessary to form a team to contend with it A powerful navy is simply not a task that can be accomplished in the short term.

As a port city, Leiming Port has no shortage of sailors and adventurers who are willing to go to sea. Although the Northern Fleet that once stationed here has a small number of ships, it has also trained many regular naval personnel. The warships and battleships have been evacuated to the Eye of the King's Storm with the members of the noble council, but in the Port of Thunder, some retired naval members can still be found. As far as Ledding knows, General Lance once served in the fleet of the Kingdom of Stormwind. Chief mate of a five-masted warship.

The biggest problem in building a fleet is resources and shipbuilding manpower. As a high-level mage with a lot of knowledge, there are several methods in Ledin's impression technique, which can create powerful naval warships far beyond this era, but they require alchemy The array and alchemy tools are all high-level magic products that will appear more than a hundred years later. Not to mention that Riding does not have these cross-age tools at hand now, even if high-level alchemy tools appear out of thin air, he cannot find them. So many high-grade magic crystal energy to drive.

To use an analogy, the ship data that Ledin is familiar with are all miniaturized high-magic technology products similar to guided missile cruisers. In his current era, the mainstream magic warships are still large wooden sailing warships, although This metaphor is not entirely appropriate, but in actual shipbuilding, the gap in craftsmanship is roughly the same.

But Redding is not helpless, at least in the Battle of Wanhai City, he also captured the Sword, a ready-made three-masted battleship mark. According to the map, it is definitely a piece of cake for high-level mages.

With the level of craftsmanship and the difficulty of alchemy in this era, Ledin is sure to replicate a three-masted warship with better performance in a short period of time. Of course, if he really wants to do this, the price he has to pay is not light - at least the alchemy factory in the territory will have to pay for it. All work is suspended, and all the inaugural mages must gather together to learn how to refine regular naval warships in a surprise attack.

Moreover, before that, Ledin has to solve the problem of magic resources—maybe as the area controlled by Port of Thunder grows, ordinary magic resources can be solved by itself, but if you want to buy it with gold coins in the short term, you can use it now I am afraid that the 100-year tax revenue of Leiming Port will be filled in, and a qualified warship will not be built; it is not that Ledding does not want to go out to rob or plunder, but the problem is that the surrounding areas are poor and dregs. Even if the Principality of Cliff is willing to directly donate the treasury, the resources there may not be able to withstand Ledin's tossing for a few days-the speed at which mages spend money is much more famous than making money.

The greatest significance of the existence of a mage lies in creation, not destruction!With the rise of the magic tide, more and more magic crystal mines and associated magic resources are discovered, which will push the civilization of the Enfas continent to a new peak. On the eve of the great era of civilization outbreak, The foundation of a territory's rapid development lies in its own civilization heritage.

In Ledin's impression, the fact that the academic faction was able to become the core of the Alliance of Order in the end was that it controlled the logistics supplies of the Alliance of Order, and those alchemy products that were standardized and mass-produced were all low-level mages with the inheritance of the orthodox academy. , according to the systematic alchemy process, the result of hard work after detailed division of labor!

If Port of Thunder can develop in a stable and orderly manner, then he will be able to train a large number of qualified low-level mages and establish countless alchemy factories as long as he is given decades. Now that he has established a local navy, even if he is asked to directly challenge the Armada of the Eagle Empire, he will not be afraid at all.

The prospect of the future is beautiful, but the realistic road has to be walked step by step!The matter in Port of Thunder is also simple to say, that is, while stabilizing the situation, try to develop its own strength as much as possible-as long as Ledin can re-realize the castle heart in his hand, he can use the alchemy warrior Bingwei, the expansion of the general's territory, in this process, Leiming Port has no problem whether it is developing the navy to open up ocean trade, or continuing to upgrade the alchemy factory to manufacture powerful alchemy equipment.

In this era of endless wars, everything still depends on strength. The surrounding area of ​​Thunder Port, not to mention the undead of Diyala and the dark elves of the thick earth secret realm, are small groups that may infiltrate from the space vortex in the future. Demons and devils can completely turn North Klein County into a blank land.

While Redding was thinking about the territory, Bill, who took the airship back to the Kingdom of Stormwind with him, walked into the small cabin: "Redding, has the caravan going to the Land of Freedom returned to Port Thunder? Those of my men What is the specific situation? I just chatted with your mages, but they don't know the situation of the merchants in Grand Collar."

"The merchants in Grandland are naturally in Port Thunder! Their business methods are very clever. They actually bought a large number of people's livelihood materials and dumped them here. It just so happened that I brought more than 5 immigrants from the Kingdom of Trees. Resettlement, this is cheap... As far as I know, the civilians of the tree country have almost exchanged out all the specialties they have. I think you only need to bring those businessmen back to Granland, and you can turn them over at random. Earn a hundredfold profit! The opportunity is rare, don’t say that I didn’t warn you in advance when the time comes—the Kingdom of Trees is protected by the World Tree, so there are too many alchemy plants, so don’t give those things to the cheap It's sold." Seeing Bill's expression of concern about his caravan, Ledding couldn't help laughing.

"What? Those guys actually sold all the people's livelihood materials? It seems that you people in Thunder Port are rich and powerful. I was planning to leave some fiefdoms for the construction of the Grand Land! You don't know, the past two years Here, because the two waves of elves are fighting in the south, the refugees on our side are in groups. The bulky supplies bought in the land of freedom are just to earn more travel expenses. If you don’t send troops to escort It’s cheap, so I just asked them to take the gold coins and return empty.” Bill’s expression was very exciting after hearing Lading’s explanation.

"By the way, Bill, after you go back to Grandland, send me a thousand tons right away! I need two thousand tons of iron ingots! I'm in a hurry to use them. In addition, there is a list here, all of which are associated with minerals. Although the amount of materials needed is not large, but because I need them in a hurry, I can only trouble you here. As for the price, you can just open your mouth and treat it as the robbing Kerry I gave you. The stolen goods from the Principality of Husband are ready." Ledin said at the end, and laughed directly.

"Two thousand tons of iron ingots? There's a huge demand... If it's just the base material, it shouldn't be a big problem!" Bill calculated carefully, then nodded at Leding, and then he put out another Hesitant to speak, he said in a low voice: "Let's not talk about the distribution of spoils, see if I can exchange these supplies with you for something."

Bill said in the end, he seemed a little embarrassed, obviously what he wanted was not a simple object.

"Change something? Looking at your expression, you seem to be very mysterious. You said, as long as I don't let me disclose my mage inheritance knowledge, other things are probably not difficult to deal with." Redding saw Bill who has always been straightforward. He hesitated and couldn't help but joked.

"Then I'll just say it straight! You also know that as an official battle hall general, you must have a magic battle flag. I have accumulated enough battle spirits now, but this battle flag... In the case of our Gran family To be loyal to the royal family, if I go to the royal capital, as long as I am willing to offer a large sum of gold coins, I will definitely be able to get a battle flag from the battle hall of the royal family, but I heard that the battle flag you get cannot be chosen , if I'm unlucky and meet that royal mage who can only design the battle flag of the Sky Dance, then it won't make much difference whether I wear the battle flag or not in the future. There are no vultures!" As a member of the nobility, Bill of course knows how precious the magic battle flag is, but in order to obtain a better boosting effect for the family's armed forces, he still bites the bullet and pointed out this impoliteness to Redding requirements.

In Laiding's eyes, among the five-ring levels of the magic battle flag, only high-grade battle flags whose basic quality reaches the third level or higher can be called precious!In previous games, high-level players had no interest in bronze and black iron battle flags at all.Although in today's era, low-level magic battle flags are definitely strategic weapons, but as time goes by, more and more magic resources will make these battle flags continue to depreciate, so Bill's request is in Redding It's not a big problem in my eyes.

After thinking about it for a while, Ledin made a decision-although the magic battle flag is a precious strategic resource, for the current Thunder Port, the alliance of Iron Mountain and Bear Head is even more important, so pay some price and form a good alliance The Lan family is something he has to do. After all, Bill has many things to do, and he can't make decisions for his family.
