Chapter five hundred and eleven: expedition
Xia He’s guarantee is not to forcibly improve their realm, but to make them qualified legends.
The young mages were impressed by the power displayed by Xia He and chose to trust the Lord. Although the ore veins were not as good as them, they also knew that relying on themselves, they would not get anything at all, and would cause death.
Shrek was very hearted. He chose his own small mage group. In addition to the qualification requirements, he had to be a brainless fan of the Blood Mage. He hoped to build a mage group that was absolutely loyal to the lord. Now it seems that he did it. Because Xia He promised that if they were willing to ask for the raw stone, Xia He would give a very large amount.
This time, Xia He could not disappoint these mages. He simply established the Guards Mage Group, and used these twenty-four young mages as their backbone to gradually increase them in the future. Shrek was the leader of the mage group, and Xia He also wrote a plan. The future of these twenty-four mages began to be planned by him.
Xia He began to reexamine his power. He still had more than 200 ships. The old warships were sold to the imperial nobles. The new warships did not change much in appearance, but the core was re-created.
There are many ships, but there are only four real elite fleets.
The fleet of the Knights of Medierli, nine ships, Freya's private fleet, twelve ships, and Odin's fleet at Storm Point, is relatively large, with twenty-four ships. Then the Asra Fleet named after the Xiahe River, which is fourteen ships.
Each sailor in these four fleets is considered an elite warrior, with the best treatment and the equipment is first-class. In the past two years, the fleet's personnel have been constantly changing each other, and the essence is concentrated in these four fleets.
Because the battle on Dragon Island was basically over, Lynch's infantry approached the last two cities in the north and did not attack. The peripheral fleet blocked the seas and waited for the other side to surrender. With the support of imperial resources, the first thing that could not stand was the two cities.
Without actual combat, the soldiers' progress can only grow slowly.
The power of the four elite fleets was chosen in war, and a person's quality could be seen best on the battlefield. In the end, the empire's navy and enemy were still the Holy Thunder Empire. The warship quality on Green Forest is not necessarily comparable to that of the Arcane Empire now.
The emperor will also completely block the sea routes of the half-elve empire in February next year. Now many fleets have already arrived, and Xia He himself has also launched a total of twelve ships and many flying warships.
Xia He's current power is still not enough, and many resources have been invested in the Taiyin Immortal Palace. The goddess of bad luck has begun to build the Baiyujing in the Taiyin Immortal Palace. Of course, with Xia He's strength, at most it is to lay a foundation. If you want to turn Baiyujing into a star fortress that rushes around the universe, Xia He can't even become an immortal.
Ordinary immortals do not have this ability, at least they are golden immortals.
The Medierli fleet and the Asra fleet are both on the side of Sun City, with a total of twenty-three ships, plus the remaining small fleets train here, there are nearly a hundred warships in Rhode Island.
Sun City was training quickly, everything was as usual, and temporary personnel changes seemed to be related to combating the half-elf empire. The warship sent Shrek to explore the eastern seas was assigned to a fleet and transferred to Storm Point. This was also a normal routine exchange, but the sailors on this battleship would never return to Sun City again.
After all, Xia He was afraid that the news would be leaked, so all the divine weapons were mobilizing here, and Su Qi took on the mining task. Xia He created a lot of ghosts and gods and handed them over to Su Qi. He could not pass on this matter. Some of the nobles in the empire were targeting him.
Xia He simply sat firmly in Sun City, and it took half a year to help his subordinates improve their strength.
Qiu Xuanji is also in seclusion and wants to refine his equipment.
It was dragged until September, and the empire suddenly had a tense atmosphere. Xiahe knew the news that the imperial fleet had clashed with the warships of the Green Forest Continent in the waters of the half-elf empire. Because there had been an order from the emperor, the noble warships of the Arcane Empire sank the nine Green Forest ships in one breath.
Xia He knew that this was the node of the outbreak of a total war, and Lusen would never just let it go.
Nine warships have been able to organize a fleet.
The ones I sold before were considered relatively powerful iron-clad ships. There were still many auxiliary warships in naval battles, especially in offshore battles. Small ships worth more than ten meters may pose a threat to large ships. The empire was desperately building ships in two large ports in the west, half of which were small warships, which was to make long-term plans.
On the side of Xiahe, the fleet heading to the Half-Elf Empire also set off. A small fleet of seven ships brought six thousand soldiers to the scene. Shrek personally led the inspection team, and the two swordsman Jani cooperated. The fleet headed south along the coast and rushed to Red Sea City, a coastal city in the eastern part of the Half-Elf Empire.
Red Sea City is not an important military town. The most common ones here are half-elves fishermen. Starting from Red Sea City, you don’t need to drive too far to intercept fish in September and October every year.
In the past two years, the Half-Elf Empire has also been developing its navy madly, and it has gradually become important because of the large number of sailors. The Half-Elf Empire has also added a military port in Red Sea City and built a fort.
Red Sea City now has about 10,000 and half of the elves, and a large number of trained recruits.
Among the six thousand people dispatched by Xiahe, only one thousand are considered elite. However, with the cooperation of the fleet, there is still some hope to attack Red Sea City. Among the seven battleships, there is a gunboat that attacks land.
Now the Marquis' Mansion is not Xia He alone, and too many people's interests are tied to Rhode Island. Many people who defect to Xia He also think that the empire needs to launch wars outside. It is up to them that there will never be a day to stand out. Only new nobles like Blood Mage will accept them.
If you want to work hard for others, you have to see if you are qualified.
In addition to these seven ships from Xiahe, Xiahe also contacted more than a dozen local nobles and sent troops to attack Red Sea City. Among these dozen nobles, only one is strong, and the rest can only take one or two boats. However, together, it is also vast and safe.
The great nobles united with Xiahe were the Merryfin family located in the eastern center of the empire, and the title was also a marquis. The Merryfin family belonged to the new nobles of the House of Commons. Xiahe only invited them at that time, but unexpectedly, the Merryfin family agreed immediately and sent a fleet to train with Xiahe's soldiers.
When he learned that Xia He was planning to use the half-elf empire to train troops, the Merryfin family gathered 10,000 people, more than 3,000 of which were considered elites in the family, and they were also sent to Rhode Island for training.
The main purpose is to train the mutual cooperation between the army, because the empire has not fought for a long time, and the commands of the armies of each noble may be very different.
Xiahe didn't refuse, and Rhode Island had no secrets, except for the mineral veins found in the distant sea.
So this expedition was not only the 6,000 people from Xia He, but also the aristocrats of all sizes combined, and almost 30,000. Xia He had to send two additional magicians transferred from Storm Point to preside over the fleet affairs.
If it is a mess, there is no way to fight.
After the fleet set off, a magic circle was opened in Xia He's study. This magic circle is for communication. Every person who obtains the Xia He badge can monitor the battlefield. Xia He can rush to observe unilaterally.
There is also the magic airships above the fleet that follow the expedition and low-altitude aircraft that fly can provide information to Xia He.
Outside the atmosphere of this world, there are already many artificial meteorites flying, which can be used as a signal transit station. Of course, without these, it will not delay Xiahe's peeping. However, with these artificial meteorites, the cost of peeping has been reduced a lot.
In addition to Xia He, there were two more people in the room. One was Smith, who came back from Storm Point and could follow Xia He in the future. His sword weapon was refined, and although he had not reached the epic level, this was a surprise to Xia He. The other person was Abigail.
Abigail looked no different from before. Looking at Xia He, he still looked a little intoxicated.
However, she was still focused on development. The temple needed her. The underground world and the goddess of wealth gained too much, and she almost had the strength to be close to legend.
Believers of gods are so easy to upgrade.
"Asla, why don't you give me one of your badges? I'm afraid I will reveal your secrets?" Abigail looked at the image sent back by the Expeditionary Fleet and was very envious.
"Yes, I told you that what you see here can also see your goddess. If I send you the badge, she will immediately understand the secret inside."
"snort."
"Okay, I'll make one for you alone. We two can communicate, right?"
"This is almost the same, Abigail's face slowed down."
Smith was inexplicably confused. He didn't know what the relationship between this beautiful woman and the teacher, and why did the teacher hook up with a believer of a god?
"Abigail, please come here, and ask you to give me some advice to Smith."
Abigail said inexplicably, "He is a swordsman, how can I give him some advice?"
"You must be the best at teaching him how to fight against the caster."
Abigail looked bitter and said, "Have he learned to deal with me?"
"You are not a pure spellcaster. You have put on heavy armor. Knights of the same level are not your opponent, right?"
Abigail sneered: "Does it take to wear heavy armor to deal with the knight?"
"Isn't that all?"
"What are my benefits?" Abigail asked with a straight face.
