Tauren Overlord

Of course, for surrendering nobles like Mofa, it is not just about expressing an attitude of non-resistance and then calling it a day.

She also needs to utilize the garrison troops in the old territory to provide basic defense for the territory.

Although now is the window period when the blade of the empire has not yet struck, many defeated bandits are already everywhere.

They robbed houses everywhere, raped women, or killed each other, which caused some obstacles to the revival of Shanhai College.

At most, Lu Heng could help clear out a few particularly strong bandit dens, but most of the bandits were actually more suitable for giving Lu Heng a chance to train his troops.

Since the emergence of a mass-produced magic item system centered around magic-absorbing spirit stones, psychic batteries, and psychic simulation stones, the combat potential of the soldiers has had great prospects.

If Christina's theory is correct, the psychic potential of just five zero-level spellcasters is equivalent to that of one first-level spellcaster.

If we continue to extrapolate, the psychic potential of 25 zero-level spellcasters is roughly equivalent to that of one second-level spellcaster;

Then as long as 125 zero-level spellcasters are gathered together, it will be equivalent to 1 third-level spellcaster - that is Lu Heng's psychic potential.

Of course, Lu Heng might be stronger than the average third-tier spellcaster, but at most he was as strong as a fourth-tier spellcaster, which was Governor Edric.

That is also the height that 625 zero-level spellcasters can theoretically reach. The first group formed by Lu Heng can exceed this number.

This means that what Lu Heng is going to form is no longer a traditional cannon fodder force, but the main force of the war.

In fact, given Lu Heng’s current situation, he has no choice but to form a new army.

With his personal strength alone, he might not be able to defeat even one of the governors of the empire in a one-on-one fight.

And there may be hundreds of people like Edric or stronger ones on the Empire side.

If they had not been targeting the Haijian Alliance, Lu Heng's small camp might have been crushed by them by now.

Therefore, Lu Heng had to transform his new army into an elite force capable of winning battles as soon as possible.

But this also means that he has placed higher demands on military and political cadres at all levels.

For example, Lu Heng’s quality requirements for squad leaders were no lower than those for a centurion in the empire;

His requirements for a platoon leader were no less than those for an imperial official;

When it comes to the most basic tactical unit, the company, his requirements for the company commander will be no less than those of a lord;

The responsibilities of a battalion commander are at least equivalent to those of a deputy commander of a province in the empire;

As for a regiment, it is no longer a tactical unit, but the most basic combat unit. What the regiment commander thinks about on the battlefield may be similar to that of the provincial governor of the empire.

Therefore, whether it is the Survey Corps heading north, or the garrison troops staying at Shanhai Academy and possibly participating in the attack on the city of Thessaloniki in the future, they all need training.

Only in this way can we select enough company and platoon-level cadres - for example, if Mofa performs well, it is not impossible for her to become a company commander.

Lu Heng used his psychic vision to look at her again… Well, this girl is already a second-level spellcaster, and has completely reached the average level of an imperial lord.

It’s a pity that there are still too few people like Mofa, and the talent gap at all levels is still huge.

Fortunately, during this period, Lu Heng's "diplomatic" environment improved.

199. Diplomacy from North to South

The Tauren Lord has provided Earl William with a large interest-free loan and sold important strategic materials - such as Pegasus and corresponding spiritual herbs.

The first group to mount Pegasus were the Count himself, as well as the regimental, battalion, and company commanders of the Survey Corps.

Perhaps it was because Lu Heng had played the "Horse & Cattle Driving" series of games in his hometown, his horse riding skills were already very good, and he quickly tamed the Pegasus.

But it was difficult for others, including Cecilia, the team leader appointed by Lu Heng.

The first time this cousin tried to approach this large flying creature, she was almost slapped away by its flapping wings.

Fortunately, the back of the Pegasus was as wide as a single bed, allowing Lu Heng to mount the horse while protecting Cecilia's soft back against his chest.

While sniffing the sweet scent emanating from his cousin, he handed her a necklace inlaid with a 4% version of the "Stone of Expertise" from behind, and encouraged her softly:

"Put this on it, and maybe it will behave itself."

Although the effect of this magic item is only one twenty-fifth of Lu Heng's own, it has greatly improved Cecilia's progress in mastering the taming of Pegasus.

If there is any shortcoming of the "Stone of Skillfulness", it is that this ability from Lu Heng has special requirements for feminine power.

Fortunately, Cecilia is a girl, so there will be no problem of cracking no matter how she uses it.

The only problem was that when Cecilia leaned forward on her horse, a crack-like gap would naturally appear behind her.

The gap just happened to coincide with Lu Heng's protruding part, which was... quite irritating.

But Cecilia seemed to be very focused on enjoying the joy of learning throughout the whole process and said nothing.

With the help of the new version of the "Stone of Skill", she was able to fly freely on Pegasus in just one afternoon.

In comparison, a rider with normal qualifications may need several months of training to reach the same level.

It seems that Cecilia is really attentive.

……

Also during these few days, Threl's reinforcements arrived in Thessaloniki, with a number of about 1.

In addition to Threl's own troops and supporting personnel, there are also 10 small lords from the provinces of Taimenia.

It is basically impossible for these lords to stay in Thessaloniki like good kids. They are here to grab territory.

As for where their territory is, they will naturally fight wherever they can and then seek certification from the governor or Ser afterwards.

For them, the Beast Suppression Province's previous loss of territory was actually a good thing.

The land has to be vacated before it can be their turn.

Lu Heng was not too worried about these small lords. He still had a few rune bombs left and could continue to explode.

What Lu Heng felt was the greatest threat was the Yudong Province to the east of the Beast Suppression Province, which was the ruling core of the empire in the Eastern Continent.

There are 3 elite imperial army troops stationed there, and 5 leader legions from various races cooperating with them.

Their spearhead is directed at the Sea Alliance in the north. After all, the entire Sea Alliance is a powerful camp on the same level as the Holy Fortune Empire.

If the Empire's main forces in the East Continent are wiped out in a fight with the Luna people, the Sea Alliance will be able to move south to reap the benefits.

But no matter what, it was they who captured the capital of Lunain Province.

If the empire had new strategic needs, they could also turn westward.

At least judging from their strength on paper, it is probably higher than the sum of Lu Heng and all the forces on the west coast.

Even if we ignore the number of their troops, just the fact that the Empire has a rank five General of the Eastern Expedition in the Eastern Continent makes Lu Heng feel that he has little chance of winning.

Therefore, Lu Heng must speed up the development of the northern continent.

If the empire really uses its main force to attack, Lu Heng’s commune, mountain territory, suspension bridge monastery... all added together would not be enough.

The only way to survive may be to escape to the northern continent as soon as possible.

However, there is also good news. For example, Lu Heng's group teleportation no longer relies on the harpy witches of the Sky Dance Monastery.

Lu Heng can also use a large number of large-sized psychic batteries to maintain the large-scale operation of the portal, and the number of people teleported will also increase with the increase of psychic batteries.

At the same time, Lu Heng's other magic props have become more mature. For example, the use of the psychic simulation stone is no longer limited to being held in the hand.

Its principle is that as long as it comes into contact with the skin, it can function according to the user's will, so it is no problem to make it into a portable device such as a necklace or bracelet.

It would be more accurate to say that these decorations made the female warriors under Lu Heng's command even more charming.

Of course, making people look good is just a trivial embellishment. The real advantage of portability is that every warrior can have several arts at the same time.

For example, for Cecilia, in addition to the "Stone of Proficiency", she also has a series of other magic items such as healing, magic resistance, and communication for her to choose freely.

In terms of economy, the newly developed magic props are not limited to the use of Earl William's subjects, but can also be "exported".

It was also during these days that representatives from the commune and the Tauren Lord arrived in Wormwood Town.

What was somewhat unexpected was that the representative sent by the Fifth Commune was Londestol, a wealthy businessman who originally belonged to the Mountain Territory.

God knows how he survived and became a member of the commune.

The representative of the Tauren Overlord was an elf with a darker skin color named Morafhi.

She seemed to have no language barriers with humans, and she was docile enough by the grass, and now her whole temperament became very gentle and kind.

If the three sub-camps under Lu Heng have anything to share, they can communicate with each other.

Anyway, money is not a problem. Lu Heng has just established a large Minotaur bank and issued a large amount of digital currency in the form of loans.

In the process of "I lend to myself", people from different sub-camps under Lu Heng also saw AIA and the market, and their lives became more promising.

Of course, real foreign trade is also done.

Lu Heng not only opened up trade routes between Shanhai College and other colleges on the west coast, but also established closer ties with the New City Republic.

The New City Republic is rich in furs and winter clothes, which are exactly what Lu Heng and his subjects need.

Lu Heng can also provide a variety of magic props. In this transaction, both parties feel that they have made a profit.

In addition, Lu Heng also considered establishing commercial relations with real foreign countries, such as the Sea Alliance.

However, Lu Heng's progress in this matter could not be said to be smooth.

It is said that the Haijian who sent the rune bomb directly to Roman last time was a little cat girl who acted on her own and has been punished within the alliance.

The current official attitude of the Sea Alliance is "strictly maintaining neutrality". If they continue to sell weapons to Lunayuanbang, their neutral status will be undermined.

This also means that the Holy Blessing Empire will have an excuse to attack them and drag them into war.

Therefore, in the short term, Lu Heng will not be able to buy Rune Bombs.

As for political alliance, Lu Heng and they did have common enemies.

But they have already said that they hope Lunayuan State will become one of their "provinces".

Lu Heng has no interest in being a puppet, so there is nothing to talk about. It would be considered a victory if we could do some food trade.

But in the process of trying to negotiate with the Haijian Alliance, Lu Heng fortunately discovered that they were not a monolithic group.

There is a vampire count who seems to be very interested in psychic batteries and hopes to reach some kind of deal with Lu Heng in his personal capacity.

This opened up new prospects for Lu Heng's trade with the north, and he also had great potential in diplomacy with the south.

In the southern continent, there are also some remnant forces of Lunayuan.

They are not under the jurisdiction of the West Coast forces and can even be said to be competitors for the position of head of the academy.

But no matter what, since we are all Luna people, we are potential allies.

Lu Heng planned to expand their market and form military coordination with them as much as possible.

Because the closest place between the South Continent and the East Continent is only a shallow strait.

If our compatriots in the south were also mobilized, it would not be difficult to contain the powerful forces of the Empire's Eastern Province.

But this negotiation may not be smooth, after all, he and these Luna people belong to different small camps.

Even though they have common interests, Lu Heng cannot pin his main hopes on outsiders. He must expand the northern territory as soon as possible and make his camp bigger and stronger.

200. Every night! I'm working!

It’s night in Aicao Town.

"Ye Ye! How many times have I told you not to bite me down there while I'm working!"

Lu Heng complained again, half annoyed.

Ye Ye is such a little succubus. Whenever she has time, she crawls under the table and quietly between Lu Heng's legs, trying to absorb his essence.
