Four Hundred and Seventieth Chapters 10-Character Army

The study was very quiet, and Alan was the only one left at this time. This room was originally dedicated to Jodak, but now it is naturally vacated for Alan to use. Dawn Castle also has a power plant, but it is much smaller than the Ark Port, and the electricity provided can only be used by the city lord's mansion and the mansions of several elders, and more places are still illuminated by primitive candles.

Under a not-so-bright light bulb, Allen looked at the list of supplies that Roy had brought over. The army that arrived this time was not only fully armed, but also brought a batch of war supplies. In addition to the regular armor and swords, there are also some special products from the weapon workshop. For example, the continuous-fire rifle, its style is similar to the muskets common in the empire, the difference is its internal structure. Due to the limitations of the planet's materials and production technology, it is still impossible to produce equipment such as automatic rifles and submachine guns. However, the performance of the repeating rifle has been greatly improved compared to the standard musket. Even ordinary soldiers can use it. A threat to the cavalry.

In addition to rifles, there is also a batch of fire mines. Lin Si, the head of the workshop, designed a small mechanism based on the original Huolei. You can pull out the fire ring like a grenade, quickly ignite the fuze inside, and then throw it out to attack. Lins didn't make any changes to the fire mines that are commonly used in the empire, but designed the fire ring on the basis of the original, so as to save the link of ignition and make the use of fire mines more convenient and simple.

There are a lot of fire mines in this batch, enough for Allen's army to use for a while. However, Lin Si also redesigned a batch of fire mines dedicated to the originator, which he called Blazing Thunder. The blazing thunder is readjusted by Lins, and some means to improve the blasting power have been added. Blazing Thunder does not have pull rings and fuzes, and requires the source of power to inject its own source power into it, using the source force to trigger the detonating device, and Blazing Thunder will explode.

There are only a hundred blazing thunders, and the power of each one is no less than a single bombardment of a heavy defensive artillery, covering a forty meter diameter. Therefore, under the blazing thunder, Lin Si left a note, emphasizing that the user should operate carefully and not put himself in the explosion range.

At the end of the list, there is a small request from Lins. He hoped that Allen could contact the family as soon as possible in order to purchase some production machine tools, grinding machines and other equipment. It is best to buy one or several modern weapon production lines. In this case, coupled with the rich mineral resources of Paradise Star, he can continuously produce higher-end guns and weapons for Allen.

It is even possible to develop chariots. Otherwise, with the current production level of Heavenly Star, it will take at least ten to twenty years to develop to the era when chariots are popularized.

After reading the list, it was Edward's letter to him, which mainly reported to him some recent events in the Borderlands.

For example, Black Iron Castle and Storm City began to trade in weapons. Of course, Edward only sold them regular swords and armor. But even so, the Black Iron Fort needed more equipment, and Edward guessed that they were probably expanding the army. From this point of view, the baron Sharon is ambitious, and he doesn't know where to develop.

Then there is the question of doing business with the Earth.

At present, the Themes silver mine under the control of Storm City has been fully activated. Now that it has regained contact with the earth, it is natural that there is no need to worry about the sale of the Themes silver. Not long ago, a batch of Themes silver had been transported back to Earth through Bethkind's special commercial starship, and soon, Allen would be able to get the first batch of income. That would be a large number, after all, Themis Silver is a rare metal measured in milligrams. And after it is processed, it can generate huge added value, so the profit it generates is extremely amazing.

This special metal was placed in the empire, and because they didn't know its special nature, they only regarded it as ordinary silver. And only by transporting it back to Earth, can Themes silver produce its due value. Otherwise, even if Alan has more silver mines, he will not be able to convert them into wealth.

After having money, he was able to buy more war materials. It can be the weapon production line that Lins said, or it can be the army that produces direct combat power. With these things, Allen's power can develop faster, occupy more territories, and tap more abundant resources, thus forming a virtuous circle.

At the end of the letter, Edward mentioned Father Miro's church. Now the church is absorbing more and more believers, especially the speech at Violet Harbor is very successful. At present, more than half of the chairman of the chamber of commerce, businessmen and ordinary residents have chosen to join the chamber of commerce. In particular, Vera's ability to predict the future is worshiped by businessmen. After all, being able to peek into the future will be of great help to the development of my future business routes.

Due to the joining of a large number of businessmen, the church received a lot of donations, and a church army was established to protect the safety of the church. Milo was so uninspired that he even dubbed this army "Crusaders" with some sarcasm. Now the weapon workshop is creating a batch of armor and weapons for the crusaders. These equipments have the sign of the cross, which fits the image of the crusaders.

Edward pointed out in the letter that most sects in the empire had their own armed forces, and these sects' forces were outside the control of the empire. Although this is because so far, the few sects have limited numbers of armed forces, and the empire has turned a blind eye to this. However, Edward thinks that it is possible to take advantage of this loophole and first let Milo run Christianity and expand its influence. If you can break into the high-level empire in the future, you can influence certain decisions of the empire through the church, and even relax the restrictions on the church's force.

Once this goal is achieved, then a large-scale crusade will be established by then, which will be equal to another invisible armed force of Allen.

In the end, Edward said that he has started to cultivate some loyal and capable team members. Storm City and Sur City in the Borderlands will eventually be planned as logistics bases. But for the sake of long-term development, he reminded Allen that he should consider taking down the Black Iron Fort as well. In this way, the entire border land will be under Allen's control.

After reading the letter, Allen let out a breath. Edward's suggestion is worth considering, whether it is a loyal team who can succeed them and continue to develop the two territories after the main force has left the border; or take down the Black Iron Fort, so that the border land is completely under his sphere of influence; These suggestions are indeed feasible, the only problem is the timing of implementation.

For example, candidates for succession should naturally be cultivated from now on. As for the Black Iron Fort, he has to wait a little longer, at least until he has a firm foothold here, Allen has no time to deal with the Black Iron Fort. But it is impossible to carry out actual military operations, but there are other ways to contain the Black Iron Fort. The most obvious point is the feud between Sharon and Higgs. As long as this factor continues to expand, Black Iron Castle will fall into civil strife, and once there is civil strife, it will naturally be unable to expand outward.

Allen wrote some of his thoughts into a letter, intending to send it back to Storm City with Roger's hand. After doing this, what he needs to consider now is to attack Bauhinia.

It was already dark.

Several bars in the city closed one after another, and Baishao Bar was no exception. However, when the lights in front of the bar verandah went out, several adventurers wrapped in cloaks came to the bar gate. A bartender waved: "We are closing, please come back tomorrow."

One of the adventurers lifted the hat and it turned out to be a woman. It's just that she looks ordinary, but her eyes are amber, which is rare. She walked forward, and as she took steps, the cloak undulated, and the smooth skin or fair thighs that were accidentally exposed could be seen through the gaps in the cloak. The bartender swallowed, this woman looks ordinary, but she has a good figure.

"Sir, you see we finally entered the city and we just wanted to find a place to stay. Don't you have the heart to drive us away?" The woman held the bartender's hand with a helpless look. Whether intentionally or not, she pulled forward, and the bartender's hand touched her thigh, and the silky smooth touch made the bartender's heart beat faster.

He licked his lips and said, "If it were you, I would know a place to stay and provide free accommodation."

"Where is it?" The woman leaned closer, her lips were less than one centimeter away from the bartender's ear. She chuckled and said, "It can't be your bed, can it?"

The bartender smiled and was about to say something. Suddenly his throat felt cold, and he didn't know what happened, but the woman had already bypassed him and sneaked into the bar. Then several other adventurers stepped forward one by one, casting their gazes from under the brim of their hats. Without exception, their eyes looked like they were looking at a dead person.

At this time, the bartender wanted to yell, but he couldn't yell out. Only then did he realize that something was protruding from his throat. He reached out to touch it, and his palm was sticky. He raised his hand, the palm of which was already stained red with blood.

Only then did he realize that his throat had been slit by that woman.

Eventually, he becomes a real corpse.

A bloody smell soon wafted from the bar, and the few bartenders who hadn't left turned into corpses. Seglis lifted his hat, shook his head and said, "This way of clearing the field is probably too drastic."

"What's the matter? Then we will be the new owners of the bar." Xia Lier walked over with a smile, holding a dead man's body by her hand. He is the owner of the bar, and he hid under the wine cabinet just now, so naturally he couldn't escape Xia Lier's eyes.

The dwarf laughed and said, "If Lord Allen comes to the bar for a drink, I guarantee that he will have a delicious drink like never before."

"However, I heard that there are a few more strong men around him, so it's not easy to deal with." The one-eyed man who had been silent all this time said.

The red beard slammed his fist on the bar counter and said, "What's the matter, it's more fun if there are more people!"

Seglis looked at them and said, "Anyway, we have to plan well, in order to avoid any mistakes in the middle. From now on, you all follow my command." r1058
