Chapter 536 [The Awesome Old Man]
The people Carmen brought to the northwest were almost all the elites of the Magic Academy, and most of them were top students of the Hogwarts branch. What Chen Daolin was especially interested in were the more than 20 seniors who were about to graduate in the coming year. Students, these students have basically obtained the qualifications of intermediate magicians. Even if there are some who have not yet obtained the qualifications of intermediate magicians, they have not participated in the assessment of the magic union for the time being due to various special reasons, but their strength has been Reached the intermediate level.
In other words, there are more than 20 magicians who are at least level 4 or above.
In addition, there are forty junior students, whose strengths vary, but at least they all have the strength of formal magicians, even if they are only level one or two. But at least the basic skills of magic knowledge and magic theory are very solid.
What Chen Daolin values ??even more is the six magic teachers from the magic academy!
These magic teachers are naturally the best in the magical and civilized world of the Roland Empire. The worst one's magic strength has reached level five, and four have reached level six. Finally, one reached level seven!
Level 7 is already considered a high-level magician!
A high-level magician, even if you look at the entire magic world of the Roland Empire, he is also a first-class master with a resounding reputation. And this seventh-level magician originally had the title of professor in the magic academy, and his major happened to be fire magic!
Fire magic is recognized as the most suitable magic for war, the most lethal and the most widely applicable! So fire magicians, generally speaking. They all have an interesting nickname called "War Magician".
Especially the fire magician named Oscar, according to Carmen¡¯s introduction, he has mastered three different high-level fire magic spells.
?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??of ??almost any advanced fire magic is thrown into a map-pushing weapon suitable for war. It can be said to be a map-pushing artifact!
This guy is simply a humanoid powerful AOE and powerful DPS!
Dean Carmen¡¯s support for Chen Daolin this time is almost unprecedentedly strong!
But even so, when Carmen faced Chen Daolin. Still showing some guilt.
She expressed her thoughts to Chen Daolin in a vague way.
If Carmen had such a tough and strong temperament, in order to protect the land of the Roland Empire, she would even wish to bring over all the students and magic teachers from the entire Hogwarts branch!
It¡¯s a pity that the Magic Academy is not an army after all. In essence, it is just a school.
No matter how prestigious Dean Carmen is in the academy, he is unlikely to order his subordinates to fight for their lives on the battlefield like an army commander.
Magicians themselves are precious!
¡° This time when we brought people to the northwest, it was actually clear that Carmen would bring a team of magicians to help Chen Daolin deal with the war. And these people all know that when they come to the northwest this time, they are going to fight on the battlefield.
The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Every second could lead to death.
No matter how high Dean Carmen¡¯s prestige is in the academy, she cannot force the students to follow her to fight in the northwest.
So, what she brought this time was to use her prestige in the academy. At the same time, after Xiaoyi's great righteousness, he passed the call for volunteers.
¡°Otherwise, according to Carmen¡¯s temper, I might just move the entire Hogwarts branch to the northwest.
Twenty-four intermediate magic students. Forty low-level magic academies, plus six magic teachers, a total of sixty magicians
This moment made Chen Daolin feel extremely happy!
Look at the entire Roland Empire. Which army can have such a luxurious team of magicians to assist in combat?
¡°I am afraid that the only one who can use so many magicians to fight for him at once is the emperor in the palace. The number of palace magicians will naturally exceed this number.
In addition, even the empire¡¯s main ace legions never have so many magician teams fighting together.
Well, there may be one exceptionthe Tulip family's private armybecause no one knows how many magicians the Tulip family has trained in their own family after more than a hundred years of operation.
A team of sixty magicians,Including Carmen herself, there were sixty-one people in total.
Chen Daolin¡¯s first reaction was If the orcs come again, an army of tens of thousands of people will simply come to kill him!
¡°Place yourself and Carmen, two saints here, plus sixty magicians, and a humanoid map weapon with high-level fire magic
And then, a new problem left for Chen Daolin began to trouble him.
The magician¡¯s samurai guard!
¡¡
The magician is recognized as a powerful remote output. Only after establishing a certain distance can the magician exert powerful combat effectiveness. But once the enemy gets close, the weak magician will have no choice but to stick out his neck and be slaughtered - not every magician has an abnormally powerful physique and martial arts like Chen Daolin.
When a magician fights, he must have a considerable number of samurai followers by his side as his personal bodyguards to prevent his opponents from surprising the magician.
But the problem is
"Where can I find so many professional warriors?"
Chen Daolin started to pull his hair.
This is also the biggest difference between academic magicians in magic schools and orthodox magicians from magic unions.
A magician who was born in a magic academy spends most of his time in the academy, studying, researching, completing his studies, and studying magic. So almost most of the time they are isolated from the world. They don't need to hang out with the outside world. They rarely even fight with others and rarely have the chance to fight.
Therefore, academic magicians will not recruit or equip themselves with samurai followers - why do they need this if they stay in the academy all day long?
But for magicians from the Magic Guild, it¡¯s different. These magicians usually hang out in various places in the empire. Some go to explore the frozen forests in the north or the swamps in the south. Some even join mercenary organizations. Traveling around, they will inevitably encounter all kinds of things. There are also many opportunities to fight.
Therefore, those free magicians often recruit and recruit some samurai retinues for themselves, as their personal guards and the last barrier guarding them!
Chen Daolin has encountered such a magician before.
When Dean Carmen was assassinated in the Imperial Capital before, Chen Daolin had personally killed two magicians. Those two guys were both free magicians and had warrior retinues. The strength of the samurai followers around him has even reached the intermediate level!
But this group of academics brought by Carmen
Chen Daolin¡¯s heart is really painful and happy at the moment
¡°Samurai, samurai¡ Where can I find so many samurai to serve as their personal bodyguards and retinues?¡±
Damn it!
Sixty magicians, even if each person is only equipped with two samurai retinues still need at least one hundred and twenty samurai!
These are one hundred and twenty warriors! Must be a true warrior with a professional warrior level! Not those ordinary soldiers!
Because during a battle, if someone has the ability to surprise the magician and endanger the magician¡¯s life, he is definitely not a mortal! To deal with this kind of enemy, ordinary soldiers are simply unable to fulfill their duties as retinue warriors.
Must be a samurai!
And the level of the samurai cannot be too low! Intermediate and intermediate-level magicians must be equipped with at least an intermediate-level warrior!
"There are powerful generals who have mid-level warriors Chen Daolin will never have more than ten people around him.
The most powerful one is naturally Montoya, a master of the holy knight who dares to assassinate the emperor on the street But Montoya is the only battlefield general under Chen Daolin who can be of great use. With such a fierce general who can lead troops to charge into battle, he deigns to give It is undoubtedly a waste for a magician to be a bodyguard.
Besides, there is only one master like Montoya, Chen Daolin
????????????Ade can be counted as one. Sylvester can pick out a few from his personal guard campeven the one-armed knight Martin, whose personal martial arts skills are far from being considered a master, can only be regarded as having good skills, not to mention that he has already broken one of his arms.
???????????????????????? Chen Daolin suddenly discovered that his men were currently extremely lacking in powerful warriors.
"If there is no protection from the warrior retinue, then the magician on the battlefield will become the target of the enemy's attack. If you are careless, a few casualties will be a huge loss!"
Chen Daolin murmured to himself.
Carmen seemed completely unprepared for this problem
Where has this beautiful dean been on the battlefield?What's more, she herself has outstanding strength, and she used to have a coachman with outstanding strength. Also serves as her samurai retinue.
As for the students and teachers under my command
"No, this problem must be solved! Otherwise, we must not let them go to the battlefield! If a few are lost, we cannot afford it!"
"But where can I find so many professional warriors?" Chen Daolin was dumbfounded.
"Maybe you can go to the mercenary guild to recruit?" Carmen came up with an idea.
This method is not too bad.
Chen Daolin thought about it carefully and felt that it was barely feasible.
After all, his own foundation is too shallow, and he has not yet become a truly wealthy family - among those truly wealthy families, who wouldn't recruit and cultivate some extraordinary warrior retainers?
For example, the personal guards around Duke Tulip are all professional warriors!
But¡¡
There is a problem with the mercenaries recruited from the mercenary guild.
Most of those mercenaries are undisciplined and unruly.
What¡¯s more important is that these people are all mercenaries, all mercenaries!
??It might be okay to work as a bodyguard for money.
When the critical moment comes, we count on them to be the last human shield around the magician. If necessary, they will even sacrifice their own lives to protect the magician they are responsible for
Of course, there is no denying that there are many real heroes in the mercenary industry. But after all, it is impossible for everyone to be a hero and be willing to risk their own life for their employer
Most mercenaries actually have a bottom line in their hearts It's OK to take your money and fight for you, but when it comes to a critical moment, when it comes to life and death a few of them will really go there for that commission money. dead?
Not to mention too much, at the critical moment, one-third of the guards choose to save their own lives first
Then these magicians are really dead!
Therefore, magicians have always been extremely strict in recruiting warrior followers for themselves. Each magician has spent many years getting along with the warriors who follow him, and everyone has established deep trust and affection. At critical moments, he is really willing to risk his own life to protect his magician master
??The guy who was recruited temporarilydo you really dare to entrust your life to the other party?
To put it bluntly, if we apply the gameplay of the game, the magician is responsible for the output, and the samurai retinue is the human shield and blood cow standing in front of the magician!
"Damn it! If that doesn't work, I'll give these magicians a set of powerful armor and turn them into human-shaped turrets!"
But magicians cannot wear metal armor, because most metals are naturally repellent to magic elements.
How to strengthen the magician's own defense Chen Daolin went to ask an expert for advice on this issue.
The most famous craftsman in the empireMaster Kang.
It has only been a few months since this famous weapons and equipment manufacturing master came to Chen Daolin's territory.
Since Chen Daolin took root in the northwest, he quickly wrote to the imperial capital and quietly seduced the empire's first famous craftsman into his territory.
The bait used to seduce the empire's most famous craftsman was simple: Chen Daolin came up with two methods of steelmaking that surpassed the world's smelting technology.
So, this master, whose lifelong goal was to smelt and make tools, came to the northwest obediently. Abandoned the shop in Wushuangfang in the imperial capital.
At the same time, Master Kang also brought dozens of his disciples. They are all excellent blacksmiths with considerable strength.
Currently, Master Kang is in Chen Daolin¡¯s territory. He has set up his workshop next to the river bank and is currently studying the hydraulic forging machine developed by Chen Daolin.
And when Chen Daolin ran to see Master Kang, he asked the old man his question. Ask him: How can we create a piece of non-metallic protective equipment for each of the sixty magicians and require strong defense
The old man stared at Chen Daolin like an idiot for a long time.
"Why do magicians wear heavy armor? Don't even think about metal armor I am a blacksmith, but not an alchemist. I don't have the ability to make sixty sets of metal armor. And add magic to it."
Chen Daolin touched his nose: "I know how to do alchemy, but I can't make sixty sets of magic-blessed metal armor, and also eliminate the repulsion of metal against magic elements I can't do it. Maybe one or two sets can be done. Make it, sixTen sets Unless I don't do anything else for three to five years, I have to do this without eating or drinking. "
"Then why did you ask such an idiotic question?" The old man's tone was sharp, without saving any face for Chen Daolin: "Magicians should be mobile and fighting at any time during war, wearing heavy armor It's basically Waste! Instead of doing this, you might as well spend money to build sixty arrow towers and equip them with ballistae."
"Because, I now have a team of sixty magicians to assist me in the battlebut none of these sixty magicians have any warrior followers."
Chen Daolin told the truth.
The old man looked at Chen Daolin with wide eyes, as if a flower suddenly grew on Chen Daolin's head.
The two of them stared at each other like cockfighting cocks.
After a while, Master Kang took a breath: "So, what you lack is reliable warriors to serve as the magician's personal followers?"
"Yes! A magician who has the courage to sacrifice himself when necessary, and is even willing to block a sword for a magician who is responsible for himself!"
"How many people do you lack?"
"I don't have any." Chen Daolin spread his hands.
"" The old man's face showed a bit of sadness. He thought about it, suddenly turned around, and shouted loudly at a group of blacksmith disciples who were playing with the hydraulic forging machine in the workshop: "Gerry Mu! Come here!"
A tall, thick-set man with a greasy and sweaty face immediately ran over with a hammer in hand. In such a cold weather, this guy was shirtless, exposing his tendons.
"Master, did you call me?"
Chen Daolin stared at this guy.
Master Kang squinted his eyes: "Grim, how long have you been following me?"
"Nine years." The man replied angrily: "I was an apprentice for three years. Then you asked your second disciple to accept me as your apprentice. It has been nine years and three months now, Master."
"Yes." Master Kang nodded with satisfaction: "Then, do you dare to die for me?"
Grimm¡¯s eyes widened and he said loudly without hesitation: ¡°You are born to be the boss of the shop, and you are the boss¡¯s ghost to die!¡±
"Okay." Master Kang pointed at Chen Daolin: "From today on, you can follow Lord Darling Chen and do whatever he asks you to do - dare to work hard!"
"Yes!" Grimm nodded to Chen Daolin without hesitation, weighed the hammer in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Master Darling Chen, tell me, who to kill?"
Cold sweat broke out on Chen Daolin's forehead. He hesitated and said tentatively: "Master Kang, your disciple he looks very strong, but"
"Grim, you have a warrior level, right?" Master Kang sneered disdainfully.
"Fourth level warrior." Grimm replied in a deep voice.
Chen Daolin¡¯s eyes almost fell out!
Level 4? !
That is a genuine mid-level warrior! In the army, you can become a battalion-level officer! !
This guy is shirtless and working hard with a sledgehammer in the blacksmith shop? ! ! !
Chen Daolin suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and looked at the group of disciples of Master Kang in the workshop with almost greedy eyes
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????They are all powerful and powerful Blacksmiths are all physical labor!
"Younot all of your disciples, they are all"
"What do you think?" Master Kang sneered: "I have been traveling around for so many years. I have been to the orc kingdom, the dwarf territory, the frozen forest, and the elven territory If I didn't have this group of powerful disciples around me, Guard me, I¡¯m afraid my bones will be ground into powder by the orcs and cooked into soup!¡±
"I¡¡"
Chen Daolin suddenly felt that there were ten thousand grass mud horses running past in his heart! !
It turns out that after searching a lot, there is such a hidden force group around me! !
"You, your disciples"
"How can a blacksmith not have enough strength? I originally just thought that since I am trying to gain strength, I might as well practice martial arts on the side, just as a physical exercise. I had several warrior disciples in my early years, so I I have passed down my martial arts skills, so except for a few of my disciples who are not very talented in martial arts, almost all of them practice martial arts - of course, they all follow the path of strength-based martial arts, and I don't have the dexterity type here. "
"How many disciples do you have?" Chen Daolin began to drool.
"Don't do it"Well, many of my disciples have obtained my true inheritance! Many of them are extremely skilled blacksmiths and masters of making weapons and equipment! It is no easier to train such excellent craftsmen than magicians! How dare you let them all go to the battlefield to fight! I'll give you up to twenty people! "
Master Kang shook his head and said quickly: "Moreover, you must guarantee that you can only use these people as the magician's samurai followers, and you are not allowed to let them serve as soldiers to charge into battle!!"
"Okay, okay! No problem, no problem!!" Chen Daolin thought for a while: "But there are still a few manpower."
The old man thought for a while and hesitated: "If you still want some manpower I can write to my disciples in the imperial capital and other places. There are many of my disciples, and then I can summon two or three Ten people won¡¯t be a big problem¡any more and it won¡¯t be a problem.¡±
"Enough is enough!!" Chen Daolin was elated!
Having forty powerful warriorshas greatly alleviated one's shortcomings! !
