    Ellison laughed cheerfully as if he had found a treasure. Although the army that Ivan promised to rent to him, the strength of the members was generally only about first level. Even if they were well-trained, they could only reach the level of the second-rate local army.  level, but the key is that there are many people in this army. Commanding a thousand soldiers under his command is obviously not as fulfilling as commanding 10,000 soldiers.  You must know that the vast majority of demon nobles at the viscount level only have about 5,000 to 10,000 troops in their territories, and a considerable part of them must be used to maintain the stability of the territory. They cannot use all the military forces in the territory.  The army that Ellison obtained is professional and can be dispatched in full. Its nature is completely different from theirs.  By making good use of this army, it is entirely possible for Ellison to obtain gold coins from his 'good neighbors' to maintain the personnel expenses of this army. As for the expenditure on weapons and equipment, he does not care too much.  The Heinrich family is famous for its powerful force. Naturally, there are all kinds of obsolete weapons and equipment in the warehouse. They may not be able to dress uniformly, but for cannon fodder troops like the Zuo Army, some equipment is good, so why bother to consider more equipment?  How much?  ¡°In the final analysis, Ellison and Irvine have different statuses and naturally have different perspectives on issues.  After being happy for a while, Ellison finally calmed down. Only then did he realize that Ivan said he would rent 10,000 yuan to him, which meant that he was only prepared to leave 10,000 yuan in the territory.  army.  The external environment around the Lion Heart Territory is relatively stable, and ten thousand troops are indeed more than enough to stay behind.  But considering that Ivan was planning to use the competition to replace the army's lower-level non-commissioned officers, Ellison suddenly realized that Ivan might be more determined than he appeared on the surface.  "If those eight hundred non-commissioned officers can quickly gain a foothold in the army. Then in Ivan's hands, the number of direct descendants will still be around 8,000, but the number of non-direct descendants will be reduced from 12,000 to 2,000. In terms of number,  , suddenly changed from an advantage to an absolute disadvantage, maybe in less than three months, or even less than a month, Ivan can have this army firmly in his hands" "Wait until he fully grasps these ten thousand.  After the army, I will return the 10,000 leased troops to him in batches, and he will be able to easily digest these troops and finally take the entire left army under his command." Ellison looked at Ivan and kept looking.  The somewhat frivolous eyes gradually turned cautious: "Viscount Kewen has a good vision in choosing his companions, and Ivan's abilities are indeed very strong." Although he thought he had seen through Ivan's thoughts, Ellison inevitably wanted to verify them in practice.  Ichiban.  So I thought about it for a while.  He opened his mouth and tentatively said: "Evan, I regard you as a friend, so there is one thing I must make clear in advance. For me, 10,000 soldiers are very satisfying to me, but it is also beyond my ability to bear, so I don't  Maybe they will stay in the camp to eat every day, and they will definitely be taken to the battle in the form of mercenaries." "So?" Ivan looked at Ellison with some confusion.  .  Ellison frowned: "You really don't understand? As long as they participate in the battle, they will suffer casualties, and the surviving warriors will trust each other more and stick together more. At the same time, they will inevitably have negative feelings for the other half of the troops who stayed in the Lion Heart Territory.  Complaints will arise. In this case, your purpose of controlling the left army is" "Perhaps this is a bit exaggerated, but if Ellison really takes the 10,000 troops he has obtained and puts them into the war, complaints will definitely arise.  , after all, in the same army, half of the people are living nourished lives in the rear, while the other half have to struggle for survival on the front line. Anyone will complain if it changes. After separation, it is difficult for the two armies with different experiences to integrate again.  will increase significantly.  "So you plan to take them to be mercenaries. This is indeed a good way to make money!" Ivan nodded with regret: "It's a pity that I can't leave the territory for a long time. Otherwise, I will definitely do the same.  " Ellison agrees with Ivan's sentiments. Although the perspective of thinking is somewhat different, it is really a pity that a man has an army in his hands but cannot take it to the battlefield to make military exploits. But the topic is  The key is not here "Evan, don't divert the topic. I just talked about casualties and military morale. Have you ever considered cleaning up the mess?" Ellison couldn't wait to pick up Ivan.  A hard knock on the head, this guy's ability to bend the building is too strong.  "I know, casualties. If you want to participate in a battle, there will naturally be casualties. Even if you don't participate in a battle, an army of ten thousand people will suffer casualties in any accident, right?" Ivan said disapprovingly.  He said: "Are you so serious? Just tell me the number of soldiers who have died. I will make up for it here at Lion Heart Leader. Naturally, the total number of left army troops will remain unchanged at 20,000." "  " Ellison couldn't help but take a sip after hearing this.Angry, he looked at Alvin with wide eyes.  "What's wrong with you?" Ivan looked at Ellison innocently.  "Have you known for a long time that there will be casualties if they get into my hands? You are so cruel!" Ellison shook his head, nodded again, looked at Alvin with complicated eyes, and said in a solemn tone.  "Am I cruel?" Ai Wen felt even more confused.  ¡°Don¡¯t deny it, you want me to bury all those 10,000 troops on the battlefield, right?¡± Ellison said in a tone of ¡®Stop pretending, I have completely seen through you¡¯.  ¡°¡­¡± Alvin was dumbfounded.  "As many as you die on my side, you will replenish as many as you need to keep the total number of left army soldiers unchanged. I have to admit that this method is better than the plan of digesting it in batches as I imagined, and it will unknowingly reduce the entire left army."  Now that the army is in control, there is no need to worry about any sequelae, because those thorns in the left army will definitely be thrown into my hands by you in advance and then consumed in the war." Ellison saw that Ivan did not speak.  Then he explained Alvin's intention to himself.  After finishing speaking, Ellison couldn't help but reflect carefully. He found that there were no legal loopholes in this plan from beginning to end. The key was just whether the planner could be so ruthless. As long as he dared to  If these 10,000 troops are given up, Ivan can successfully resurrect this left army.  If we can get rid of all the burdens in the army from the beginning, then in the following time, we only need to continuously replenish the army with fresh blood, and the strength of the army will naturally grow rapidly.  Viscount Covin did this. He sent all the cannon fodder in the volunteer army into Ivan's left army. Ivan couldn't find a place to send these burdens away, and he wanted to build the left army into a strong army, so  We can only send them to die.  "You are cruel enough!" Ellison looked at Ivan and said again.  (To be continued)
