Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

After the winter celebration, the wasteland north of the Divine Ridge Mountains had not snowed for a full week.

This means that the cold winter is about to end, and the spring of everything will soon usher in a revival.

Harvey had a rare early morning, but he was still unwilling to go out under the low outdoor temperature. Instead, he summoned Reiner, who would come to report on his work at lunch as usual, to his study in advance.

Asdarren and Pierce were also called together this time, and all the trio of Lord Harvey's direct lineage were arrived.

"Expansion?" Pierce was stunned for a moment, and then an unconcealed look of joy appeared on his face, but he still secretly glanced at Reiner and Asdaren sitting on the sofa beside him. Unfortunately, the two metal skulls could not let go He observed how the other person looked.

"Yes, the permanent population of the territory has exceeded 50,000. In addition to the eastern basin that is about to be included in the territory, it is probably not enough to rely on the current three thousand regular army."

"Sir, the territory is short of people everywhere. The East Coast Governor Corps is about to face the sowing operation in the beginning of spring. The person in charge has repeatedly asked to increase the number of recruits of agricultural soldiers... In addition, the eastern basin is about to be developed on a large scale. Can the expansion of the army be delayed again..." Reiner has always been on the matter, but he has not shy away from such issues.

Harvey stood up and walked to the map beside the wall, "You should all know very well that the nobles and churches in the south are actually not afraid of us, but once the invasion of powerful aliens in the north occurs, ours The territory is on the front line of attack…”

He picked up a thick charcoal pen and drew a straight horizontal line north of the territory, and the direction south of Jackdaw Mountains was marked with an arrow, "Opening south and defending north is our only choice to survive, which means In the long term in the future, we are likely to face the dilemma of two-line combat. Expanding the military strength is a guarantee of rapid development!”

The Divine Ridge Mountains that stretch thousands of miles are truly invaded by alien races. In fact, there are only the Evil Moon Mountains in the West, the Jackdaw Ridge in the middle, and the Golden Forest in the East where the elves live.

If the powerful aliens mentioned in the memory fragment invade the human kingdom from both sides, at least there will be demons and elves in front for a slight buffer. Only the Jackdaw Ridge in the central kingdom, except for the loose and barbaric evil orc tribe in the north. Only Harvey's pioneering leader was left hanging on the front line of the wasteland invaded by alien races.

Nantao's plan is of course an imminent matter. Without enough population to consume and provide productivity in the war, Harvey has no confidence in winning a protracted war. It is probably difficult to deal with the covetous eyes of the nobles and the church.

"At least, as soon as possible, the entire northern part of St. Valen are included in our rule and jurisdiction." Harvey concluded cautiously, "Although the population of the north is less than 100,000, it is better than the aristocrats who are flat and fertile and dependent on the church. The power is thin... Besides, after we take down Sancha Town, a key river transportation area, it will be very convenient whether we move west or south. "

Asdaren said slowly, "The only thing that is before us is the church."

Harvey chuckled, "Yes, if I had been waiting and watching the conflict between the church and the Federation before... But to this day, we have to take the initiative to attack, stand on the side of the Federation, and put the church in All the forces of St. Valen were eliminated."

Pierce said seriously: "Sir, should we send troops directly to Fengyuan City? Or should we bypass the Duke of Ralph's garrison and raid the capital of Saint Valen?"

After becoming the commander of the entire army, Pierce's vision and command ability have been greatly improved. He is no longer as reckless and short-sighted as before. Without waiting for Harvey to take the initiative to propose strategic policies, he can probably guess his lord. thoughts and thoughts.

"By Around Fengyuan City? I don't think there is any need to be such trouble." Harvey laughed twice and slapped the area belonging to Fengyuan City on the southern map. "First attack Fengyuan City, then go straight to Jinhui City. ...I want to push the whole way and cooperate with the spellcaster troops deployed by the Federation on the Daus border to form a double-sided attack on the Grand Duke of St. Valen! "

Native

After Harvey quickly discussed with the three of them to determine the new round of military expansion plans, he didn't even have lunch and hurried out to the alchemy laboratory.

The Alchemy Laboratory, which has been renovated and expanded three times, is completely different from the past. The building complex next to the Magic Military Factory even specially built an extremely spacious weapon test site underground.

This is also the destination Harvey is going to during this trip - accepting and testing a newly developed magic weapon.

Due to the busy military service of the Commander-in-Chief Pierce, Harvey had to arrange his own personal guard captain Tommy to manipulate and test weapons, but he was not allowed to use his bloodline talent to fully simulate the situation of ordinary soldiers using new weapons.

The weapon test field located underground is a huge rectangle, looking like a closed football field. There are many huge targets painted in color at the end, and there are also rulers that can calculate the range. .

"Sir, I'm ready!" The captain of the guard Tomi took two steps forward, stroked his chest and saluted Harvey.

Harvey nodded and thrust his mouth at Chris, who had been wiggling his hands aside, and the latter immediately showed a proud expression, uncovering a bulging tart cloth beside him, revealing the true face of the new weapon that was hidden below.

"This... isn't this a new type of magic gun?" Tommy and the guards beside him were stunned.

Compared to the long-pole magic gun made of wooden handle and iron pipe, this thing in front of him looked like a weird "miniature" magic power cannon, which was made of black extremely cold iron. It was equipped with a triangular bracket at the bottom. It was almost half a person's height when standing upright. The barrel of the same meter was as thick as an adult's arm. The magic bullets that originally needed to be pressed into special magazines one by one were now neatly hung on a long belt. One end of the belt was connected to the magazine position in front of the trigger of the gun body, which looked indescribable.

"This new weapon was named the Magic Machine Gun by the Lord." Chris pointed at the weapon in front of him and introduced it proudly, "The bullets it is equipped with are exactly the same as the Magic Machine Guns you use in daily life, but it needs to be hung on this leather bullet belt to be successfully fired..."

No mistakes in one sentence, one issue, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

"Okay, there is no need to elaborate on the design principles and weapon structure. Soldiers don't need to understand them, they just need to know how to operate them!" Harvey saw that Chris was about to start talking endlessly again, and quickly interrupted his "casting pre-swing", calling Tommy, who looked confused, to come up and test the gun.

The captain of the guard carefully sat on the chair fixed behind the Magic Machine Gun according to Harvey's instructions, and then looked at the alchemy apprentices with a dull look as they hung a long bullet bag on the gun.

"Sir, how should I aim? There's no sight here?"

Harvey chuckled and encouraged, "No need for sights, just pull the trigger and shoot straight ahead!"

"Oh... OK!" Tommy replied honestly, and when Harvey stepped back, he immediately pulled the metal trigger at the tail of the machine gun.

But what happened next made him unable to believe his eyes!
