Transcendent Noble

Victor returned to the study room of the lord’s mansion, and ordered people to take over the blueprint of the light truck and the light war chariot design.

The design drawings of the two carriages actually filled a large box. Victor looked at all the hide paper scrolls one by one and was very satisfied. The content of these design drawings includes the various parts of the carriage, wheels, axles, chassis, walls, shooting holes, vehicle-mounted ballistas and catapults, even support pillars and tripods have detailed dimensional data and test data.

For craftsmen who use experience and inspiration to design and manufacture carriages, it is very difficult to perfect the various parameters of the assembled carriage and copy the assembled carriage according to the parameters. In order to meet Victor's requirements, more than two hundred craftsmen of the York family worked for more than three years, and finally built the truck and light war chariot.

This is the core concept of the Grand Legion strategy-standardization.

Great Legion is not only a military strategy, it covers many fields such as military, internal affairs, education and training, production and life. When Victor separated the three major systems of military, internal affairs, and public security, he had to rely on standardization to link the activities of the family in various fields to implement the strategic goals of the Grand Legion. Only in this way can the family become an efficient whole. When a hired Legion suffers a loss, it immediately replenishes its soldiers and armaments, and the battle strength can be restored immediately. As long as the foundation of the family is intact, the employment of Legion will not be completely eliminated.

Facing an unbeatable military and political group, let alone the aliens of Southern Continent, even if the old rival of Alchemy Empire reappears in the real world, Victor may not have the ability to resist.

The premise is that the Lord of Radiance has indeed leveraged the laws of the world, weakened the power of extraordinary creatures, and narrowed the individual gap between them and humans.

All indications indicate that Lord of Radiance is very likely to be the highest achievement of Alchemy Empire. The main purpose of ancient alchemists and archmage in creating him is to change the strength of alien creatures and human beings.

If the judgment is wrong, Victor has no better way. Big Legion is already the most advanced strategic idea he can achieve.

Katerina once suggested to the lord family of Centaur Hills to prepare for the establishment of a four- to five-hundred-person hiring Legion to prevent Centaur Hills from falling into the internal friction of arms competition. Only Victor did not adopt her opinion and firmly expanded the employment of 3,800 Legion to 6,000.

It is expected that it will take more than ten years to open up the war. There is no major war in Centaur Hills, and the First Army and the Second Legion consume tens of thousands of Kinsoul every year, which many people cannot understand. Why does Victor support such a huge army. But how many tricks can a mercenary with a size of 4 or 500 people play?

These 6,000 mercenary soldiers may not need to travel to Henan for more than ten years, but they will perform standardized training, standardized tactics, standardized logistics supplies, standardized military ethics, and standardized equipment use. With tactical ideas such as the phalanx of infantry, the phalanx of longbowmen, and mobile battalions, two or three thousand mercenaries cannot be trained at all, let alone the establishment of a military standard for the big Legion.

Victor has invested heavily and time to establish a set of effective standards. The veterans who hire Legion go to military schools to teach the wolf battle skill and Legion training standards to boys aged 8 to 11. The two-month militia training every year can ensure that the boys continue to practice the wolf battle skill and Legion after graduation. Training standards. When they reach adulthood, they are the source of troops for hiring Legion. As long as the recruits master the Legion training standards proficiently, every 600 veterans hired by Legion can fully support a new hired Legion. 6000 veterans of the mercenary means that the Randal Family can quickly expand 10 standard hired Legions in the near future.

Randal collar must have royal spies, heavy trucks and light war chariots are placed grandiosely on the barracks training ground, the top craftsmen of Kite Fort or other forces want to imitate it, and even improve it is not difficult, but they don’t Know how to use standardized production molds, standardized assembly parts, standardized operating methods, just imitating war chariot appliances?

Standardization is the essence!

The Randal Family family has gone the farthest on the road to standardization. When Great Influence reacts, Victor has become the standard maker and exporter. In order to achieve this goal, the annual financial investment of hundreds of thousands of Kinsols is worthwhile, because standardization will be Victor's huge political capital.

I picked out the design drawing of the shaft part of the truck. Victor read it carefully. He also thought that the design of the two horses for the truck is still open for discussion.

Once the standard is established, if you want to modify it, the scope involved is too great. If a dual-horse traction vehicle shaft design is adopted, then all the trucks in the future will be equipped with two heavy-duty pallet horses. This is by no means an increase in the budget, but a burden on the entire logistics supply system.

The heavy-duty carriage and the light war chariot are used as transportation vehicles and combat platforms. Of course, their volumetric capacity should be larger. For technical reasons, the craftsmen of the York family adjusted the volume of the carriage to the maximum, but could not take into account the balance of animal power, resulting in a situation where one horse could not move while two horses were too wasteful.

Thorium can reinforce the chassis of the carriage, increasing the volume and load capacity of the truck to the level of two horses. However, to modify the design of the heavy truck, even the light war chariot must be modified. Victor is not yet luxurious enough to use Thorium to make carriages.

The feasible way is to replace the livestock that pulls the cart. Don't think about refining Golden Dragon lizards, Victor will only use them as silver-tier war beasts. The red bison is a good choice. This strong herbivore weighs 1.7 tons, has twice the strength of a heavy horse, and has full endurance, capable of migrating thousands of kilometers at a time. They are strong as an ox, physique and fierce temperament, even Barbarian regards them as beasts worth hunting. Every year, Sophia gets a few particularly ferocious red bison from the Wharton Prairie, and then transports them to Raven Town to give to Barbarian as a sacrifice for the newborn ceremony.

There are tens of millions of red bison living in the Wharton Prairie, but they have never been domesticated. But in this world, wild animals cannot be tamed without the Imerson wizard.

The domestication or transformation of red bison was automatically included in Imerson's research project list by Victor.

After finishing the war chariot blueprints, Victor called Renault in, and ordered him to return the box full of scrolls to the secret room, and said: "Call Barol to see me."

"Yes, my lord." Renault left the study with the big suitcase.

Victor walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside. There was no one on the lawn in front of the lord’s mansion, and it seemed a little deserted. After all, even the snack food Bertina has serious things to do now, and goes to the general education school every afternoon as a child teacher for half a day. The situation of other little servants is similar, which just shows that the Randal Family is thriving and is gradually getting on the right track. And now he needs more time and energy to improve his innate talent battle skill, and then delve into the secrets of the spiritual bloodline, integrate the lord family of Centaur Hills, promote the standardization process of Centaur Hills, participate in the internal affairs and diplomacy of the Kingdom of Cambes, and The layout of the Golden Group, the search for the remains of Alchemy Empire, the infiltration of Masked Brotherhood, and the detection of Ant-Man and Goat monsters are all waiting for him to be implemented one by one.

However, this does not mean that Victor will no longer intervene in the affairs of the Randal Family. As the Guardian of the family, there must be a means to control the overall situation. In addition to maintaining communication with the key members of the family, Victor also holds a mercury spy who is only responsible for him.

It didn't take long before Barol, the chief of Mercury, walked into the lord's study.

He is dressed in a brown gardener's clothes and a straw hat with sun protection in his hand. He is slightly leaning over his body, his posture is respectful and humble, with a flattering smile on his face, just like a good-tempered gardener.

Good-tempered gardeners generally have no abilities, and Barol does not have the craftsmanship of serving flowers and plants. He can get a job as a gardener in Silvermoon Manor, all depends on being able to please his owner.

"My lord, are you looking for me?"

Victor turned around, looked at Barol, and asked with a smile: "My vassal saw my first sentence, Congratulations on my promotion to Your Highness. Why don’t you learn something?"

Baroel bowed and replied: "My lord, no matter what your status, Mercury is loyal to you and only loyal to you "

Victor laughed, returned to the seat, leaned on the back of the chair, and said: "I believe you, but the discipline you adopted, except for the monkey and the red wolf, no one else knows me, and How to be loyal to me?"

"My lord, Mercury Manor has cultivated a group of family spies who are absolutely loyal to you, and the original family spies have been grown up. They are now scattered in the various kings. The town, acting as the inner core of Mercury, can replace Mia, Spider and Fitch at any time." Barol said with indifferent eyes.

"It is a necessary preparation to be able to take over the core members of Mercury at any time, but it is not necessary to implement it." Victor nodded, instead, said: "Your three disciplines have contributed to the development of Mercury and should be awarded Reward instead of punishment... I will call them back, and I will meet them personally, allow them to reunite with their relatives, grant land and wealth, and allow them to swear a pledge of loyalty to His Royal Highness Randal, and give them power beyond ordinary people, and Power."

Baroel said respectfully: "His Royal Highness, you are really a generous and kind master."

Victor blinked his eyes, pretending to be dignified and said:" I can understand that this is a compliment to my strength, wisdom, wealth and power. Because a down-and-out nobleman is incapable of being generous and kind."

"My lord, you are so wise!" Barol Said convincingly.

Victor laughed and shook his head: "You guy is not half as good as Nelson in flattering me."

Barol smiled bitterly, and continued to show off his explicitness. The skill of flattery: "Honorable master, I also admire your wisdom and strength."

"Okay." Victor waved his hand, narrowed his smile, and asked, "How is Mercury now? "

"Mercury is developing very rapidly. The family-trained spies are the core members of Mercury. There are a total of 157 people. They have developed more than 1,800 insiders and countless outsiders. Mia hides in Stonetred City, nominally in charge of them. The Mercury organization of the Dodo Kingdom has 62 core members and more than 600 insiders; the spider hides in Bronze Halberd City and is responsible for the mercury organization of the Sasan Empire. It has 34 core members and more than 300 insiders. Fitch assists Todd in Rainbow City in the north of Suse Kingdom develops Mercury. It has 8 core members and 34 insiders. The rest are mainly located in the main town of Gambis."

Barol paused, further explained "In the past two years, the free private camps of the kingdoms have been persuaded to separate, disband, and merge, but a large part of the refugees have flocked to major cities such as Bronze Halberd City and Stonetred City. There are signs that the high lord secretly hired Yin. Poets, knight-errants and free mercenaries advertise to the refugees that the main city is prosperous and wealthy, and there are tenant recruitment points. The Great Family regularly recruits tenants from the refugees. Therefore, many refugees want to try one's luck in the main city and see if they can You can’t become a tenant of the Great Family."

Victor hearing this said with a smile: "This is where the high lord is robbing the tenant population with the little lord below."

"Yes. "Barol continued: "There are a large number of refugees in the main city. It takes time for the lord to turn them into tenants. The local underground forces are the first to be attacked. New gangs are constantly appearing. In addition, the free people in cities and towns need more goods. , Mercury relied on the Bucks Chamber of Commerce and the smuggling caravan’s goods, and soon developed our own underground forces in the main city."

Victor nodded, pondered then said: "Mercury is in Suse Kingdom The development of Suse Kingdom doesn’t seem to be going well?"

Barol lowered his head and said: "My lord, the underground forces in the main city of Suse Kingdom bear the name of Masked Brotherhood. Todd and Fitch’s men were originally There are more than 100 thugs who are infiltrating In the process of passing through the Suse gang, dozens of people died... Seeing that the situation was not good, Todd and Fitch took the remaining people to Cattail Town, north of the Duke of Medin. That place is an outpost town against the twilight wolves, where mercenaries, knight-errants and exiled knights gather. The underground forces are tangled and complicated, and it is only 5 days away from the Rainbow City of the Duke of Medin. Fitch hid in Cattail Town, remotely controlled Mercury's inside line, and managed to infiltrate Rainbow City. "

Victor frowned and asked, "Why did you choose Duke Meding's Rainbow City?" "

Barol replied: "My lord, Suse's situation is different from other kingdoms. There are mostly plains, lack of forests, and few refugee camps and mountain camps. Without refugees, there would be no tenants. The gangs in major towns are calm and tranquil, and it is very difficult for mercury to penetrate. The thugs we sent out to join the local gangs were treated as rabbits by them, so many people died..."

The gangs have the way to survive the gangs, and how many thugs and thugs can feed in a town have their own Upper limit, outsiders wanting to join the gang is almost bring about one's own destruction. When Barol was in the Black Castle Town, he once instructed his subordinates to trick the newly added refugees into trying out the goat hotel opened by Victor, and those refugees died in the end. In the hands of the gangster villain, to blackmail the old John of the Goat Hotel. This kind of newcomer is the rabbit in the mouth of the gang.

Suse gangster has no extra place, and the smuggled caravan’s goods cannot be delivered. , It’s not surprising that Fitch and Todd met with a bloodshed.

"Only the Rainbow City of Duke Meding was recruiting the refugee population of the Eastern Alliance. According to Fitch’s report, Rainbow City had already More than 20,000 refugees from the east have been accommodated. With the help of these people, mercury can occupy a place in the underground forces of Rainbow City. "

Victor knocked on the table, nodded and said, "Duke Meding, as the lord of the north of Suse, has the desire to continue to develop the Dusk Forest. He really needs to gather the refugees and turn into tenants... you are believing Or not, must there be a core member of Masked Brotherhood among the more than 20,000 refugees in the east? "

Barol said solemnly: "My lord, infiltrate the Masked Brotherhood and find out the wizard behind them. Isn't it Mercurial's mission?" Don't worry, apart from Todd and a few family spies, the rest of Mercury insiders, including Fitch, don't know the relationship between Mercury and the Randal Family. Even if they are exposed, those wizards will not be able to find your head. "

Victor laughed disapprovingly and said: "The wizard's abilities are all kinds of strange things, who knows if they will find my head?" "Paused, then asked: "What is Todd doing?" "

"My lord, Todd uses the alias of Duncan. He is registered as a knight-errant in the cattail sect protecting church as a wandering Knight. He is hired by the local lord to deal with the monster in the dusk forest. "Barol said respectfully: "You can find his name in the knight-errant roster of the church, but his ranking is low. "

Knight-errant has a special identity, often dealing with mercenaries, gangsters, and bards, as well as with priests and nobles. It can be said to be a well-informed group. And the church is registered. The knight-errant belongs to the Knight-errant class. The wizard must be very cautious when dealing with a knight-errant.

Victor was startled and smiled and praised: "This guy Todd has a lot of ideas...Fee Qi is more dangerous, you transfer Fitch back first, and then order the mercury spy in Suse Kingdom to sleep, leaving only two lines for Todd. "

Balol lifts the head, suggesting: "My lord, in this case, the development of Mercury in Rainbow City will be too slow..."

Victor raised his hand to interrupt him "The Duke of Medin brought about the marriage of his daughter Princess Lin and the eldest son of the Grand Duke of Borui Kingdom..... Peter’s eldest son was named Raymond Peter, and he sent someone to assassinate me. "

Balol’s pupils shrank instantly, his eyes were sharp like a falcon, but he stood motionless and listened quietly.

Victor showed a trace of appreciation and continued:" Of course I won't let Raymond go, but this guy sent someone to assassinate the Moon Elf bloodline nobleman, and it is very likely that he was bewitched by the wizard organization. I guess he is the spokesperson of the Eastern Wizard Organization...According to this assumption, there must be members of the wizard organization among the refugees in Rainbow City. Mercury develops underground forces in Rainbow City, and the probability of encountering the wizard is very high, and I asked Mercury to press a nail by Raymond Peter's side. I don't want to beat the grass to scare the snake because of other things. "

"I issued this order in Naville...Do you have a specific plan now? "Victor leaned back in his chair and asked with a faint smile.

Balol gritted his teeth and said truthfully: "My lord, we have no nodded threads... Mercury is taking the bottom route. For Great Family rules are completely unknown, and we don’t even know Raymond Peter’s age, appearance and personality preferences. Even if Todd is a knight-errant now, his identity with Raymond is too far apart, and he can't be contacted at all. "

Victor said coldly: "Mercury asks for money, and asks for someone to give it...If you can't do it, then I will let the agent of Yubao do this. "

Ballor's forehead oozes sweat, and he respectfully salutes: "My lord, please give me five months to make a plan." I also need Raymond Peter's information, especially about his assassination of the Moon Elf bloodline nobles. In addition, I want to use Paul. "

Paul is the most proud student of Barol. Because of his outstanding appearance, smartness, and aristocratic style, he was sent by Victor to study at the Silver Tower. At first, Paul suffered discrimination in the Silver Tower. As Victor’s identity and fame became more and more respectable, Paul became a sought-after object of the tower’s students. Victor even asked the church to perform two body reshaping for Paul and another little spy who was studying in the tower.

Victor thought for a while and said, "I am not going to let Todd or Paul lurch by Raymond's side. The nails I want must be ignorant... Nor can the elite guards of the family be sent. "

Barol said: "My lord, I understand your concerns, and I am also very afraid of the wizard's methods... I use Paul to let him make suggestions and find nails. Because he is now the person Mercury knows the upper class best. "

"Yes. "

Victor nodded agreed and asked instead:

"I once asked you to go to the Rand Empire to investigate the hunting chief of the Baron family of Thornton 18 years ago. Is it the result? "
