Emperor of Arcane

Many lords who were ready to watch the show suddenly felt that it was not interesting anymore.

Matthew dealt with the other lords too quickly. Those guys with smiles on their faces didn't seem like the tough opponents they usually saw.

Soon, soldiers from all major territories gathered.

Angela started integrating the soldiers with ease.

The first step she took was to take back the command.

The commanders leading the troops in other lords' armies were occasionally reluctant, but they were quickly scolded by their respective lords.

These commanders can be confused, but the lords must stand in line.

Otherwise, the acquisition order assigned to them by the Gulf Leader may not be guaranteed!

The Gulf Leaders who participated in the commander training, with their familiar subordinates, took control of a total of 8 Lord teams.

The strength and information about these soldiers were quickly delivered to Matthew.

"The number of professionals is only about 1/5, the average challenge level is only 2, and weapons and equipment account for 2/3 of the role..."

Matthew was not surprised by this. The improvement of military strength was not an overnight process.

In fact, the lords of the Eastern Province are already doing better in the Netheril Empire.

Lords in other regions rarely maintained large armies.

Especially the northwest region, which was written in the Arcane Daily a few days ago.

The territories and main cities of two counts have been destroyed by the orc army.

Angela frowned slightly. The combat effectiveness of these soldiers was relatively low.

It can barely be used to defend the city.

Don't count on them when fighting in the wild.

I'm afraid that if the orcs charge one wave, they will be defeated instantly.

It was really hard for Angela to imagine.

Nobles at the earl level have so much material, population and financial resources, as well as a large and sturdy city.

They actually lost to some orc armies with simple weapons and equipment and lack of siege machinery.

Others were also a little confused.

After staying in the Gulf Territory for a long time, I have somewhat forgotten the virtues of other lords.

Matthew put down the information in his hand, a little regret flashing in his eyes.

He did not see any particularly outstanding potential among these soldiers.

Sure enough, talented people with outstanding talents are not so easy to meet.

Matthew explained to them while looking at the map and information of the Scarlet Fortress:

"The militia recruited by most ordinary lords cannot reach this level."

"These are just cannon fodder temporarily selected to deal with the signs of the empire."

"The regular troops they have been selecting for training are reluctant to bring them out."

Everyone knows and understands this.

But precisely because of this, I feel the lord's wisdom even more.

The combat troops of the Gulf Territory have become stronger and stronger through the training of battle after battle.

The better the combat effectiveness, the easier they can defeat the enemy and the less casualties they will suffer.

An army that is victorious in every battle has an invincible momentum!

The Gulf leadership is able to do this.

It is inseparable from the Lord’s dedicated training.

It is inseparable from the support of territorial policies.

Soldiers receive super high treatment, generous rewards, can devote themselves wholeheartedly, and have no worries, so that they can create such an invincible army.

All of this was brought about by the lord.

Matthew thought about the plan for this recruitment mission and continued thoughtfully:

"First arrange for them to conduct formation training, mainly learning to use crossbows, shields and spears."

"It is estimated that it will take 20 days to get from Blood Moon City to Blood Fortress, a total distance of 800 kilometers."

"In these 20 days, 8,000 soldiers can be selected and integrated."

"Also, you can talk to these soldiers about our Gulf Territory."

"Now, let's discuss the battle plan."

Angela understood what Matthew meant, and a little anticipation flashed in her eyes.

She pushed the map away and introduced it carefully:

"The Scarlet Fortress is divided into three combat areas, the inside of the fortress, the south of the fortress, and the north of the fortress."

"The fiercest fighting will be inside the fortress."

"That is the main battlefield of the Eighth Army and the Third Army, and it may allow us to take over part of the defense tasks."

"The southern part of the fortress is usually a sporadic battle. The orcs usually send sporadic scouts to attack convoys transporting supplies."

"And our target is in the northern part of the fortress, the area with the largest number of orc troops!"

"..."

Regarding Angela's bold battle plan, others were shocked and at the same time felt inexplicable expectations.

The lord has already said it.

This time, Gulf Territory must win the first place in meritorious service!

…

After waving to Alio, Jifan looked at the masked Feili behind her and asked curiously:

"What's wrong with Sister Feili? Are you afraid of being discovered by someone?"

With a slight snort, Elio couldn't figure out why Feili did this, and curiously pointed at the soldiers lining up:

"What are you doing? Picking people?"

Opening the roster in his hand and looking at many similar names, Jifan smacked his lips and said:

"Yes, select those professionals and focus on training and training."

"As for recording their names and information, it is for the convenience of sending money to them."

Feili, who was very willing to change the subject, subconsciously widened her eyes and said in disbelief:

"Distribute money? Why should we distribute money? Is this a recruitment mission? Their lords only care about food..."

Feili was very surprised, just like the soldiers who had just heard the news.

They stared blankly at the two boxes carried over by the Gulf Territory soldiers.

As soon as Jifan opened them, the shining gold and silver colors immediately excited the soldiers.

No matter how much you say, it is better to see it with your own eyes.

Temporarily suppressing the thought of "The lord's hobby is really strange," Yoshiho shouted in a hearty voice:

"That's right, although everyone joins the Gulf Territory's combat order temporarily, you can still receive salary."

"Ordinary soldiers can receive 30 silver coins, and professional soldiers can receive 1 gold coin every month."

"If you have military exploits next, you can get additional rewards."

"In addition, if you unfortunately die, ordinary soldiers can receive a pension of 5 gold coins, and professionals can receive a pension of 20 gold coins."

The soldiers, who were originally a little depressed, immediately became excited.

They never expected that the Gulf Territory would be so generous, and they immediately started discussing excitedly.

"30 silver coins? I only earned this much in the second half of last year."

"Can you really get 1 gold coin? Can professionals get it?"

"1 gold coin per month? Real or fake?"

“I’m getting the ones in front of you, and you’ll know if they’re real or fake when you get them in your hands.”

"Is this life money?"

"Recruitment tasks are meant to sacrifice one's life. The other lords are only half-full..."

"And the pension? A full 5 gold coins? Can it really be distributed to my family?"

"It should be possible. Did he just write down where I live?"

"You're not lying to us, are you?"

"Liar? Why do they want to lie to us? Can't we just not mention the money?"

"That's right. I heard that there are also loot rewards?"

"It must be true!"

"Which territory is this?"

"Didn't you listen just now? They are from the Gulf Territory..."

"I've heard about the Gulf Territory. I heard that they have been accepting refugees. I thought they were poor in that place..."

"Poor? Do you know any adventurers? Recently, many adventurers have gone to the bay to claim their fortunes. I heard that they all made a lot of money!"

"..."

Under the money offensive, the originally lazy soldiers immediately became obedient.

The soldiers said: Actually, I don't want to hear it, but the Gulf leaders have given them too much.

When the other lords saw this scene, they all thought that the people in the Gulf Territory were too stupid. That lord was also a prodigal and would lose all his territory sooner or later.

These soldiers were not from the Gulf Territory. After the recruitment mission was over, they went back to their respective homes...

You are really stupid, you have so much money!
