Xia He has not been troubled in the past few years, and there are fewer legends about him in the empire, but he is already very famous and doesn't need to work hard anymore.

Retreatment is a must. Xia He dares not attack the half-elf empire now. He has to wait next year because there are no legendary strong men in his army. Even if he flattened the half-elf city, he might get nothing by a legendary half-elf, and lose all his troops and generals.

Even if you gather the strength of the army and kill the legend, your own losses will be unbearable.

Among the mages who defect to Xia He now, there are some epics that can be forcibly upgraded to the legendary realm. They had no hope at all. But Xia He himself is not a legend and dared not do this. If he can't suppress his subordinates, anything is possible.

Legend is not only an improvement in strength, but also a change in mentality.

People who forcibly upgrade to the legendary realm will have a very unstable mentality. Xia He must be promoted to the real person of Yangshen, and can leave hints in the legendary mind, so that such people can do such things.

Xia He returned to the Marquis' Mansion in Sun City and summoned his confidant.

Su Xue and Su Qi are both in Sun City. The one who presides over the daily physical objects in Sun City is Goria, but the entire Marquis' Mansion must include Storm Corner, Rhode Island, and the Underworld, which is Freya. She is a god, and she has energy, and her thinking can also divide into many thoughts and deal with a large number of physical objects at the same time.

The one responsible for communication is Cotton Jack, who is also responsible for the development of the entire Rhode Island.

As expected, Medilly didn't care about anything else, she focused on training her Knights. Now Medilly's Knights are still three thousand elites and ten thousand 18,000 auxiliary soldiers. However, the number of ships increased to nine, and some chariots were added. The number of magicians in the auxiliary soldiers increased, because the magic net had first achieved results, and some new professionals who were born in Rhode Island and were relatively reliable became auxiliary mages.

They don’t care about future development at all. They were just civilians and never thought that they could master the magical power of magic.

Now the Lord has given them opportunities and wealth, and most importantly, hope for their children.

There are nearly a hundred young nobles like Baron Nietzsche who defected to Xiahe now. However, Baron Nietzsche has the best conditions in it. One is that his family is rich and his family is prosperous. He has a son and a nephew who sent him to Storm Corner and became a Taoist priest.

So Baron Nietzsche is now in Sun City and his status is quite high.

The Knights of Sun City are under management. This Knights have 500 people, which is also a powerful force. In addition to the Knights of Sun City, the legion of Sun City itself is still in charge of Baron Nietzsche. The number of this legion is 12,000, and they are all elite soldiers selected from Wumian City.

Baron Nietzsche was satisfied. He had more than a dozen children in his family, all of which were given to Xia He for training.

Although Xia He told him that only two will have great prospects. But it is a blessing to have two. He knew that the so-called standard for the lord's future is definitely one in a million.

Xia He said to everyone: "In the second half of the year, about October, I will try to attack the eastern coast of the Half-Elf Empire, of course not in my personal name. At that time, I may unite some nobles. In the early stage, I will invest in a small fleet, seven ships, and one thousand army."

On the Xiahe side, there will be 5,000 auxiliary soldiers following the army, which is a ratio of one to five. He said that there will be 6,000 people in fact.

"Then, I need an observation group to follow the army, but not join the battle."

"Even if there is any loss?" Cotton Jack wanted to make sure.

"Yes, even if there is a loss, as long as the enemy does not send out legendary power, the observation team will only be responsible for the evaluation. This time we dispatched not many people, nor are they the most elite, but they are all qualified. Everyone has seen the usual drills and data, which is very satisfactory. However, without real actual combat, no one knows what they are like."

Xia He arranged the next task, and the people responsible for the observation were not present. As for the mage, Xia He asked Shrek, whom he later accepted alone, to take charge of the student, and the warrior, to be the double swordsman, Jani. These two people have made great progress, leading more than a hundred people, taking a floating airship, and monitoring all combat details from high altitudes.

The advantage of a floating airship is that it consumes quite small when floating. However, the opposite is true for flying warships.

Xia He built some floating airships himself. This kind of airship that can ride more than 100 people is actually equipped with weapons, puppets, and supplies, and can hold on to itself in the air.

It is smaller than the medium-sized airship of the Empire and has similar protection power. It mainly contains some magic equipment for monitoring. At an altitude of seven or eight thousand meters, it can be observed through aircraft close to the ground. The airship can also communicate with the fleet's flagship and call for support.

In fact, before Xia He's flying warship was sold, the Empire's magic airship flew faster than many monsters and could already run for a long distance.

This thing consumes little, is easy to repair, and will not be completely eliminated in the future.

"Next, everyone will work harder and plan the tasks of this year in detail and complete them all. I will only return to Storm Corner next year and will be here this year. If you have any problems that cannot be solved, just come to me."

Everyone agreed and please see Shrek outside.

Xia He asked him to come in. The young mage had a lot of calmness on his face. After entering the room, he saluted everyone first, and then said: "Lord, my little mage group has discovered the magic rough stone mine more than two thousand miles away in the eastern sea."

Xia He was happy. He couldn't use this thing to practice, but it was a strategic resource. For a long time, his army had to rely on this thing to fight. Without magic stones, he could not afford so many knights.

There are now two core knights in Xiahe, one is the Knights of Medierli, and the other is the Knights of Asra in Storm Point. The Knights of Asra are relatively young, almost all young men, with only 500 people, including one hundred mage knights.

The Knights of Medierli have three thousand people, with a large scale, and they are all pale unicorns riding. The cost of falling unicorns is too high, so Xia He did not plan to rebuild it later. No matter after improvement, there were about 1,200. Except for the equipment of the Knights of Asra, they were basically sealed.

However, the number of pale unicorns is greater, and the demand for magic rough stones is greater.

"Tell me the specific situation." Xia He said calmly.

"Yes. I have been sending mages to explore outwards in the eastern waters. Last month, I discovered some archipelagos, which were very small in size and did not have the value of occupation. The mages explored near the islands, trying to see what monsters in the sea entrenched, but at the bottom of the sea, I discovered an ore vein. This vein extends to the deep sea in the eastern part of the archipelago. Due to the terrain, we were unable to explore to the end."

"Graphic reason?"

"To the east of the archipelago, it is more than ten miles east, which is very deep, probably more than ten thousand meters. Our people cannot dive that far. However, although the Magic Raw Stone ore veins are faulty, they can explore downwards. At a depth of more than one thousand meters, there are still ores."

Xia He was surprised. In this case, the thickness of the ore veins was amazing.

“How purity?”

"It's not very uniform, most of the ores are not of good quality, but some places have particularly high quality. Such thick ore veins are a huge asset even if they are less than one percent of the high-quality ore."

Xiahe pondered, the archipelago more than two thousand miles away from Rhode Island? The climate there was quite terrifying.

"This matter cannot be revealed."

"I have restrained them. Why don't you send the little mage to Storm Point. The news has not spread yet." Shrek said calmly.

"How many people are there in total?"

"Twenty-four, count me." Shrek said.

"Another ten more?"

"I have carefully selected all of them, and there is a boat, but the sailors on the boat don't know what we are going to do."

"In January, it's okay there, but next month, I'm afraid it won't work. I'll deal with this matter myself. These twenty-three people don't have to be sent to Storm Corner. Focus on training. Medilly, I will use your fleet at that time."

"Did I use it?"

"No, just let Su Xue go over and take responsibility. I will mobilize the miners from Storm Corner." Xia He did not say that he wanted the divine weapon to be responsible for mining. It would be quite troublesome for humans to collect the mineral veins under the sea. Divine weapons, ghosts and gods, these things that are born to walk in the water, and with space, they can collect in large quantities.

The collection of magic raw stones is more difficult than raw coal, and the eastern seas are also more dangerous than the northern seas. The miners of Sun City cannot do such a job at all.

The risk here is very high. The eastern waters have always been quite mysterious. Except for the relatively calm from December to March every year, the climate is harsh and worse than the one in Storm Corner. However, Xia He only sent magic weapons over, and with ghosts and gods, it should not attract anyone's attention.

He already had a lot of magical rough stones on hand, so the emperor would not have any suspicion.

This mineral vein must be held tightly in your hands.

Xia He was worried that the supply of magic stones would be cut off, so he asked Freya to venture to steal. Now that he had his own veins, his heart was much more stable.

The centers of magic nets on the chariots and warships are all consuming magical rough stones. Pale unicorns and some large-scale construction battle puppets all require rough stones. On the contrary, the golem that mages often use, can be dealt with with black gold.

The meeting ended in a hurry, and Shrek went to summon his small mage group to meet Xiahe.

Xia He talked for two hours in his study with twenty-four young mages including Shrek. No mage wanted wealth, all the twenty-four people chose to continue to follow Xia He. What Xia He needs to pay is the resources in practice, including the supply of soul liquid.
