Full Time Mage Lord

   Urgent report?

   Before seeing the urgent letter, Xiu Yin had an ominous premonition in his heart.

  When the content of the urgent letter was shown in Xiu Yin's eyes, Xiu Yin sighed softly, the thing he feared most happened ahead of schedule.

  A large number of troops began to appear on the eastern border of the Principality of Rhine and Huangshui Town...

  Time has now become the most important factor for Xiu Yin, even the idea of ​​taking some people to retreat to Yongquan Town in the Kingdom of Fredham flashed through Xiu Yin's mind for a moment.

Of course, Xiu Yin rejected his idea in the next moment. The people in Friedham Kingdom respected him, and there was a big reason why he still had the reputation of being a "young and promising young lord". Once he chose to flee, Then it is tantamount to giving up the identity of the lord.

   It wasn't that Xiu Yin questioned the character of Bartica or Prime Minister Zuo, but at that time Xiu Yin felt that it was certain that he would not be respected in the past.

   "Uncle Irwin, how much combat power can we dispatch at most?" Xiuyin decided that he would not give up until the last moment, and the dynamics of the Rhineland Duchy are worthy of further careful study.

  Irwin pondered for a while and immediately gave the answer, "About eight hundred people."

   "Eight hundred people."

  Shu Yin gently repeated the number Irwin said.

This number is very clear to Xiu Yin, and it has almost accounted for one-tenth of the total population of the area controlled by Xiu Yin. This ratio of combat power is actually an abnormal ratio. The ideal military-to-civilian ratio should be twenty to one, perhaps most ideal.

   Too much combat power will definitely consume a lot, and it will also increase the living burden of other subjects and the burden of the lord in a different direction.

  But once there is a war, the combat power is insufficient and the security of the territory cannot be guaranteed.

  In the current situation, 800 combat power is obviously too little for the Morrowind leader.

   "Where is Huangshui Town?" Huin asked Irwin.

"Huangshui Town has always been dissatisfied with the presence of adults, and there are not many people with soul power. It is relatively strict when recruiting guards, so Captain Klopp will select them carefully and responsibly. There are more than fifty guard soldiers."

   "That is to say, the total combat power on both sides is still less than a thousand people..."

Xiu Yin frowned slightly. The specific combat strength of the Rhineland is not very clear to them now, but judging from defeating Girard and obtaining all its fiefs, the Rhineland's combat strength is higher than that of Morrowind. I'm afraid it's more than twenty times.

The gaffe was not optimistic. Irwin spent a day at Xiuyin's request to assemble the 800 guards of Morrowind in full armor. Only the remaining dozens of people were responsible for staying here to protect the territory. Safety.

  After Xiu Yin obtained a large amount of money, the 800 guards led by Morrowind actually had a very high level of armed forces.

  In addition to a complete set of armor, each of the 800 people was equipped with crossbows according to Xiuyin's requirements. Whether it was a squad using long spears or a heavily armored knight using heavy shields, the configuration of crossbows was a must.

  Everyone knows Xiu Yin's obsession with crossbows, but in fact, this is Xiu Yin's helpless move.

Most of the soul-ability users in the Haider Dominion basically joined the Bone Knights or the Warriors of the Bone City. In the rest of the towns, except for the mercenaries, there are very few people who still have soul abilities. , so Xiu Yin felt that crossbow arrows were undoubtedly the best choice if he wanted to compete with Desolate Bone City.

  It is not difficult to use the mechanical crossbow. One of the tasks of Xiuyin's soldiers joining the guard team is to contact the use of the mechanical crossbow, including the guards in Huangshui Town, and everyone is also equipped with a mechanical crossbow.

It is Irwin and the old mercenaries, in order not to lose face in front of the **** soldiers, they used to practice the mechanical crossbow skills day and night. The support for tactics is quite perfect.

  Mechanical crossbows require less strength for users, unlike longbows that require strong physical strength to support.

   Moreover, the accuracy basically depends on the mechanical crossbow itself. Users only need skilled operation to achieve very high accuracy.

  Dwarf Moffitt's improved crossbow bolts are also more penetrating, and recently relying on Xiuyin's financial support, Moffitt has improved the weapons and equipment of the guards and soldiers above the squad leader level.

  Especially the magic light armor from the elves handed back by Hans and Charlotte opened Moffitt's horizons.

Moffitt is also a stubborn person. After seeing the enchanting and forging techniques of the elves, although he doesn't know much about enchanting, Moffett definitely doesn't think that his forging skills will be inferior to those of the elves, so in the After studying the magic light armor that Hans took off, Moffitt also improved the armor he made with the iron ore in Morrowind.

Since there is only Moffitt who can reach the first-class level in the Morrowind Territory, the manpower is limited, and the amount of greatly enhanced armor is only enough to be distributed to the old mercenaries and Klopp, and the slightly improved armor is allocated to the captain level. warrior.

   Apart from being limited in number, Xiu Yin's men were no less elite than regular troops like the Desolate Bone Warriors, and in some respects they even had strengths that the Knights didn't have.

  When Irwin started to reorganize his combat power, Xiuyin was not idle, and other deployments of Xiuyin must also be considered in every aspect.

  Xiu was thinking about how to write, and he was going to write two letters.

   They were all sent to the Kingdom of Fredham, one to Bartica of Scarlet Rose, and one to Zuo Chancellor Durav.

  The letter to Bartica is relatively simple, because Bartica also has some rough women, and the content of the letter is naturally brief.

  Shuyin clarified the situation that the Morrowind Territory might be attacked by the Duchy of the Rhine, and then he talked about the possibility of entering the Kingdom of Fredham, and finally sealed some greetings in the envelope.

  The most difficult thing is the letter to Prime Minister Zuo.

  There is an extremely wonderful relationship between Xiuyin and Dulav. If Xiuyin is not a lord but just an ordinary rich man, Xiuyin is really happy to imagine having such a powerful father-in-law.

  But now Xiu Yin's status is very special, in other words, the situation of the Morrowind Territory is very special, even in the eyes of Lance or Marquis Fell, the Morrowind Territory is no longer part of the Starlight Kingdom.
