Chapter 864: Hostages
The main world has a large number of troops because it has occupied many different worlds and can replenish soldiers in other worlds. For example, the Arcane Empire may have a population of more than one billion and more than one million troops, which is considered to be a military force.
However, because of the addition of soldiers from another world, the Merryfin family can mobilize millions of people.
For example, the nine colleges occupy more worlds and royal families, which can mobilize a large number of troops and will not cause population collapse.
This time, the Merryfin family raised more than one million people, and they were not mobilized in every world, and it would not affect production.
Xiahe has many soldiers, but Rhodes has reached its limit. If he does not gather the nobles and gains more population, he can no longer continue to expand.
Fortunately, his advanced technology, alchemy factories and grain factories were able to maintain his rule.
"Duke, if we can form an alliance, I have a request. We are finally destined to be together. You won't refuse a little request, right?"
“It depends on what it is.”
“I want to learn about this world.”
"Knowledge is priceless, but for the sake of fate, as long as you give enough money, I will arrange for you to enter the mainstream magic academy in the world."
“Mainstream?”
"I am the principal, what do you think?"
"What does enough money mean, gold?"
"Of course not, resources. Your world is the world of Taoist priests. Some resources are not valuable, but for magicians, it is still good. If you join the Magic Academy, my academy will need to expand its funds. You happen to be the first student in another world. If you don't come out of you, should I come out by myself?"
"You are indeed good at convincing people with reason."
"After staying in this world for a long time, you will hear my good reputation and you will not regret it."
"I hope so. My sect is large enough, and resources are not a problem, but in that case, I will not be here to study alone."
"It's okay, no one outside of you will charge you."
"Why!"
"It's fate." Xia He teased for a moment, then said, "I will also send someone to learn the knowledge of your world. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Chen Yu said: "Of course it's not a problem."
He thought to himself that Taoist priests can understand magicians, but it will be difficult for magicians to understand Taoist priests. The difficulty of learning is completely different. From the principle of equivalent exchange, as long as the number of students sent by both sides is the same, it is not a loss.
Besides, although the duke has many soldiers, there are no gods, so there is no need to be afraid of anything.
As for the money you pay, it doesn't matter.
"The college you entered is the highest-level college I can give you. Other students will not have this treatment, so the money you spend is still worth it."
“Other colleges?”
"Well, I happened to be in a magic academy. The funding of that academy is pretty good, and I helped to raise it. So it's not a problem to let some people go to study in the past. You don't want everyone in the sect to enter the same academy, right? What if there is a problem with the place I arranged?"
"I believe now that you are used to convince people with reason."
"Look, we have a good start, so why not continue immediately? Liao Min, right? I'll send someone to see you off, right? Don't worry, he won't follow you." Xia He pointed at Xia Ye with his finger. Xia Ye was fully armed and wearing a mask.
Liao Min said helplessly: "Okay, then I will go back immediately and tell the master about this. The time flow rate in the two worlds is about the same, and I will be back soon."
"Don't worry, your senior brother will be a guest in my territory. He is a real guest, not a prisoner."
"It's not a prisoner, it's a hostage, a hostage, a hostage." Chen Yu said the important thing three times.
Liao Min smiled bitterly and stood up, Xia Ye also stood up without saying a word.
Xia He said to Chen Yu: "Then, please come with me, Your Hostage. Actually, don't worry, I won't kill you. Even if I can't form an alliance, at most I will just leave you in this world."
"Where are you going?"
Chen Yu soon found out that he was taken to Yamaguchi City by Xia He. In Yamaguchi City, he took a flying warship and flew all the way to Twin Cities.
Chen Yu asked in surprise: "Is this a technology product?"
"Not counting, right? The core power is the magic furnace."
“On the ground, what are those?”
"The Demon Clan, this continent has just been invaded by the Demon World and is still being cleaned up."
"Demon World!"
"Well, the Demon World is quite a troublesome world. Look, when you come to be a hostage, you will get a lot of information first. I have nothing to hide from you. This is not a bad thing. After you go back, your status in the sect will naturally improve."
"I will tell you some information, as long as it doesn't matter to my sect." Chen Yu said helplessly. The other party was convinced by reason. If he didn't agree, no matter how nice Asra said, it would not be able to fulfill it. He is no longer a child.
"Your territory is really big!" Chen Yu sighed after flying to the Twin Cities.
"There are still tens of thousands of miles north, of course it's big."
Chen Yu was surprised and said, "You are just a duke."
"I am the new Duke, and my territory is small, and I have not conquered a few worlds." Xia He continued to brag. Scaring the other party is also a means.
"It's so bad." Chen Yu said, leaving the flying warship and feeling the faint demonic energy in the air.
"Yes, there are many demons outside. My army goes out to clear out every day and starts war with other nobles. They are military affairs all day long, and I rarely have time to practice."
"Go to war with other nobles?"
"Yes, I like to convince people with reason, but some people don't like to listen to reason and think they can force me to do things I don't like. Then they have to start a war."
"It's very convincing." Chen Yu applauded.
"Does your sect have enemies?"
"Of course there are two enemies. But the three sects cannot fight."
"Yes, no one wants to go to war with the other two sects at the same time. I can understand."
"I'm not kidding when I say that my sect has millions of Taoist priests."
"I know that the Taoist priest under my command is also very big, but his aircraft is broken and he can't go back for the time being. He refuses to give me the coordinates and asks me to send him back."
"What did you do with him?"
"Let's form an alliance with his sect. Now this is the intention. After he returns, he can discuss it with the sect. After all, his status may not be as high as you, so he dare not make any decisions."
"here it is……"
"Twin Cities are just a place for war. At the beginning, there were still many powerful demons, so we could only huddle in the city to defend. Have you seen the magic cannons over there?"
Chen Yu nodded. The magic cannon was very tall and very big. As long as he was not blind, he could see it.
"The demon race has a kind of warship, which is hundreds of miles long, and ordinary weapons cannot be dealt with. Fortunately, we discovered it before it was built, and then these warships were all knocked out. However, the demon race has many huge things, so they have to use these magic cannons to deal with them."
"This world is much more advanced than I thought."
"That's it." Xia He said proudly: "Do you have the main world? People are very smart."
"But there are nobles." Chen Yu tentatively said.
"Aristocrats will sooner or later die, so there is no rush. As long as the world progresses, this thing should not exist."
"Who is there?"
"The robot troops, we have obtained scientific and technological information in another world and have created many such soldiers, which can reduce human losses. Otherwise, the demons will enter our world, even if they can be driven away, they will make the world depressed."
Chen Yuxin said that it is worthy of being the main world, and it can create such powerful robots in large quantities.
These robots are not weaker than ordinary Taoist priests in the Qi training stage.
Xia Hexin said, if you Taoist priests are brought in, the people from the Taoist Palace will never doubt me again when they come. As long as I hide for a few more decades, the Taiyin world will be completely developed.
The underworld was running, the heavenly palace was built, the population was reproduced, and the Baiyujing of the Immortal Palace was completed.
At that time, unless you send the Daluo Golden Immortal here, everything will be too late.
Xia He really needs Chen Yu's sect to develop this world. Anyway, he can no longer directly solve the main world, so he can only remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot and turn the Taiyin world into the main world.
It doesn’t matter if you are slower than going to war with the nine colleges.
Xia He arranged Chen Yu in the magic tower, handed him a bracelet, and said, "Wear it and I can monitor you anywhere. Then you can have limited activities."
“Limited activities?”
"Well, some of my territory cannot be allowed to enter. This is true even if you form an alliance."
"I won't go to the confidential place."
"There are also too many demons outside, and there is a kind of demon who is hiding, which is quite dangerous. Even you may be killed without any precautions. You are a hostage, and if you die, your sect will blame me. It doesn't matter if I'm afraid or not. I can't take the blame for the demons, right?"
"A very powerful demon..."
"If you have the ability to move space, you can attack first-class sneak attacks. They can't break into the Twin Cities. If you go out and wander around, you might encounter them. Now my army dares not act on a small scale."
"Who can I talk to for a while? Although... I know that if the alliance fails, I will live in this world, so I can know some unimportant information, right?"
"I'll find a few people to accompany you, but you have to protect their safety."
"Safety?"
"Some of my students are good kids in the Magic Academy. You can teach them something, which is your sincerity. I know that you don't know what important things are, just some common sense. Then you also ask them some things, not in exchange, you can make friends in this world."
"Then...thank you, Lord Duke." Chen Yu gave Xia He a Taoist etiquette.
"You're welcome, I'm really busy, otherwise I'll be with you. You can rest here for a while. If you need anything, tell the person I sent and remember to check out in the future."
