Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Demons have a large appetite, and no matter how much dry food they carry, they will never be able to eat enough. Therefore, food trading is currently the largest trade in Lion Heart Valley.  The price of food in Lion Heart Valley is 20% higher than that of Demon God's Castle. Everyone can understand this. After all, this is a standard wilderness. During transportation, we have to guard against enemy attacks. It is very important to transport food safely.  It's not easy, but if the price is another 20% higher than this, many demon mercenaries with withered wallets will have to consider it. Demons can eat and be hungry. Maybe after completing the scheduled mission, they can chew grass roots and trees all the way.  Is it more cost-effective for Pi to rush back to Demon God's Castle?  ¡°It¡¯s only a week¡¯s journey anyway, and I won¡¯t starve to death even if I don¡¯t eat.  In short, if the price of food in the Lionheart Territory suddenly increases, it is certain that a large amount of popularity will be lost. If the situation is serious and there are people who are behind it, it will even affect the status of the Lionheart Territory as a supply point in the northwest region of the Bloody Mountains.  The large number of demon mercenaries coming in and out is a business opportunity, and it is also a trump card for the Lionheart Leader to ensure its own safety. It is difficult to say that after this trump card fails, the human troops, which have been in a passive situation, will not seize this opportunity and gather their forces to eradicate the Lionheart Leader in one fell swoop.  An eyesore.  This is something that is very likely to happen under normal circumstances, but the possibility of happening does not mean that it will actually happen. Ivan has a small world rich in food in his hands. Perhaps the current output of the small world is not enough to support the entire northwest of the Bloody Mountains.  We need to provide food supplies to the central area, but with nearly a year as a buffer, I believe that will be enough.  In Raymond¡¯s eyes, Alvin rejected the suggestion of sending envoys to make good relations with several grain-producing territories.  Let everyone in the meeting not worry about the food problem. He vaguely said that he already had a perfect solution to this problem. Instead of thinking about this problem, it is better to think about it.  How to take advantage of the Lionheart Valley supply base to get the maximum benefits.  Ivan has never lied on major matters. Although what he said at this moment was like talking in a dream, Syndra, who was the strongest, knew little about the matter and even didn't care at all. The rest of the people were mediocre in strength and were not that good in the territory.  Great prestige can only be half-believed in the end.  I won¡¯t think about this problem for the time being.  As the devil¡¯s only supply base here, Lion Heart Valley certainly has many benefits. The most obvious point is that it only really took effect in about two months.  However, the balance of force between demon forces and human forces in the nearby area has been destroyed, and the demons have gradually begun to gain the upper hand in the armed confrontation in this area.  Within a radius of one hundred square kilometers around the Lion Heart Valley, and on the mountain paths from Gray Plains to the Lion Heart Valley, there are very few traces of human teams anymore.  Of course, Ollie deserves a lot of credit for leading his troops to sweep everywhere.  But the large number of demon mercenaries gathered here who were no longer fighting among themselves was the main reason for the human team to retreat.  This is indeed good news. The biggest beneficiary of this change is Aiwen's Lionheart Leader, who makes good use of the power of the mercenaries.  This can greatly weaken the human troops in the nearby area, and not only provide the Lion Heart Leader with a safe environment for development.  If used well, perhaps Aiwen's plan to conquer coastal lands can be implemented in advance.  Expanding one¡¯s territory is the dream of every lord.  So Ivan didn't hide it from his subordinates, and he wasn't worried that the news would leak out. Even if it leaked out, so what? Just like cats eating fish, dogs eating meat, and Ultraman fighting little monsters, a lord has such a  The idea is normal, the only difference lies in whether he can do it and to what extent he can do it.  Everyone present is basically a grasshopper tied to Ivan. Ivan is ambitious, and more importantly, he has a good chance to go further. They are naturally happy, but after the joy, reason returns, which is a very real problem.  It's right in front of you. If you want to conquer a new territory, okay, no problem. The development method formulated by Demon God's Castle will support you behind the scenes, and there are no competitors with bad intentions around to get in your way. Just go ahead and do it!  ¡­, But, there are not enough troops in the territory!  Just driving away the human troops from a piece of land does not mean that the land becomes yours. You still have to build forts in key locations and station troops in the forts, even if it is just a symbolic effort.  The old, weak and remnant soldiers are also fine, otherwise, why do you say this land is yours, and I say it's mine!  If we only defend the Lion Heart Valley, the territory's current force of more than 500 is almost enough. It is also a safe choice to expel the human troops in the forest mountains outside the valley and gradually expand the army in line with the development of the territory, but it must  Before other demon nobles can react, they quickly defeat the human troops and occupy a large territory outside the valley, creating a fait accompli. It would be best for Ivan to take a thunderous strike. The existing army is far superior in both quality and quantity.  Not enough, to achieve this goal A group of people in the hallAfter muttering about the map for a long time, I finally came to the conclusion that if you want to completely occupy the nearby territory, you will need at least 2,000 troops. If you take into account the battle losses, at the beginning of the war, you will need at least 2,000 troops in the territory.  There must be at least a thousand warriors among them, and their strength must be at level 2 or above. When they have to fight head-on, they can withstand it!  In the hall, everyone sitting down looked at me and I looked at you, and they all became quiet for a while. These guys even knew the financial situation of the Lion Heart Territory better than Ivan, and the various infrastructures and territories in the Lion Heart Valley now.  The building itself still requires a large amount of money to build and improve. The profits from the Dakou Drinking House and the small financial balance of the territory itself are still very tight. There is no extra money to expand the army, let alone the pace.  Such a big step.  However, the fact that the territory cannot afford so much money does not mean that Aiwen cannot afford so much money. The mages who came here with Aiwen are very confident in Aiwen's small treasury, and Raymond has always suspected Aiwen.  There is a backstage behind the scenes. Since he is qualified to be a lord's backstage, providing a little money must not be a problem.  Bathed in the trusting eyes of his subordinates, Alvin felt extremely uncomfortable. Unless he seriously found a backend, he really couldn't get the money out.  Of course, the cost of raising troops may not be as high as imagined. With the support of the small world, the problem of food and grass consumption can be put aside for the time being. The weapons and equipment of the three thousand people can also be used partly from the loot. But the three thousand people  The training fees, wages, salaries, etc., are really unavoidable. No matter how inconspicuous the number is, it will become very scary when multiplied by three thousand. In addition, Ivan also has a plan to build a mage tower in his hand.  , the cost involved really makes people scratch their heads just thinking about it.  After thinking for a moment, Aiwen revealed his plan to build the mage tower, hoping to see if everyone present could come up with any good ideas. Even if they couldn't come up with any good ideas, they could at least share some of the pressure on him.  "Mage Tower?" A glint flashed in Mage A's eyes.  "Mage Tower?" Mage B shouted in surprise.  "Mage Tower?" Mage C began to burst into tears.  The most basic function of the mage tower is to monitor the movements of the entire territory. There was also such a mage tower in the inner city of Bone Prison City. Unfortunately, judging from the information Ivan has now obtained, the mage tower does not seem to be perfectly built. It is used for warning.  There is no way for domain magic to operate around the clock - it is hard to say whether it counts as domain magic.  However, for the mage, warning magic is secondary. The most important role of the mage tower is to speed up the advancement of the mage.  "Lord, expanding the army and building a mage tower are extremely expensive things. I think it is impossible to support it with the current financial resources of the territory!" A mage suddenly stood up and said.  ¡­, The other mages present glared at him.  "But" the mage wiped his sweat, and then said, "It is still possible to do one of these things by devoting all the manpower and material resources of the territory. The expansion of the army takes a long time, and the result may not be in line with our expectations."  It is expected that the difficulty of building a mage tower is lower than that of expanding the army, but the effect is immediate, and it can also greatly improve the reputation and morale of the territory. Therefore, my subordinates believe that we should build the mage tower first!¡± The eyes of all the mages were focused on it!  Softly, then all looked at Alvin.  Although Raymond is not a mage, as an internal affairs officer, he naturally appreciates the defensive mage tower construction plan more than the offensive-oriented military expansion plan, so he also agreed with the mage's proposal.  As for Syndra, he is in a fugue state and does not think about it.  "Build the mage tower first?" Ivan looked down at the map on the table for a while, then shook his head, "No, there is no suitable address in Lion Heart Valley." A group of mages quickly cast their eyes on the map and searched for a while.  , and finally found a small piece of land marked as 'rich in magic' about ten miles north of Lion Heart Valley, and his face suddenly turned ugly.  When building a mage tower, the first thing to choose is of course the address for building the tower. This choice has nothing to do with Feng Shui. Generally speaking, a place suitable for building a mage tower must at least be land that is 'rich in magic'. On such land,  The natural recovery rate of the mage's magic power will become faster.  After selecting the address, you cannot start construction immediately. You must first start to arrange the barrier. The function of the barrier is to collect the magic power of the earth's veins and prevent the magic from leaking out, so that the density of soil magic within the barrier's coverage will continue to increase. When the barrier is covered,  The evaluation of the land within is improved from 'rich in magic' to 'infected by magic', and then construction of the mage tower can begin.  The time required for this varies from one month to half a year.? The land that is 'infected by magic' is actually not the best choice for building a mage tower. The best choice is the magic quagmire, which is the product of the land being infected to the extreme by magic and the complete combination of magic and soil. There are countless  It is impossible to form the magic power accumulated over a hundred years. It is a geomantic treasure that can be encountered but cannot be sought.  ¡ª¡ª8¡ª¡ª>
