The Origin of Arcane

This is the path that must be taken to integrate into the Byron Alliance. The brothers of the Andes and the Byron Alliance have been separated for too long. No one remembers the close relationship between the two. It will not become a bad habit in ancient times. If the general goes here, I am afraid that he will be hostile and squeezed out by many parties. He needs to be fully mentally prepared! Leave it to me here, don’t worry, I promise not to miss half of the useful things, and I will strive for you to come next time. More valuable treasures can be found.

Unknowingly, Lanxili was once again immersed in the past glory of the ancient Andes Empire.

I understand, I'm fully prepared. Sean's mouth was slightly raised, showing a standard eight-teeth smile.

He had fully experienced the attitude of the Byrons towards the Andes people a few years ago in the Manyu army. It was not only hostile and repulsive, but also a sense of enslavement from above.

Even though he was furious at that time, there was nothing he could do.

But this time is different, once again set foot on the land led by the Man Yu army, he is no longer an individual, but the supreme commander of the Yongye Army, with hundreds of thousands of Andes standing behind him, he It will be their faces that will be represented.

Although they are not the protagonists of this four-party meeting, the Yongye Group Army attaches great importance to it from top to bottom.

As I said before, the strategic policy set by the Eternal Night Army is not a military invasion of the Byron Alliance, but economic plunder.

But if you want economic plunder, the premise is that the two sides establish stable diplomatic relations and reach a friendly trade agreement.

Although there is an agreement between the Yongye Group Army and the Regent Princess Sophie Liya, it is a secret oral agreement after all. If the basic premise such as Jacob Jiang Fuliu cannot be met, the other party will not admit it at all.

Now not only all the prerequisites have been fulfilled, but the Princess Regent has also tasted the sweetness from the bilateral trade. The goods exchanged from the Yongye Army don't even need to be unloaded, and they go all the way down the river and are directly sent to the capital of Wallace. The tower, such as honey, medicinal materials, fur, ceramics, glass, canned fruit and other commodities, are selling very well.

In particular, the dazzling ceramic glaze is highly sought after by lords and nobles.

This is thanks to the Witches' Secret Council. Ceramics are the exclusive product of the Yongye Army, but Liuli is not.

Glazed glass has been around for decades, and it has been recognized by the people of the Byron Alliance, especially the church of the Holy See of Saint Ether, who likes to use colorful glass to show its uniqueness and luxury.

However, due to various reasons such as craftsmanship and transportation, the production of colored glaze has always been small, and the supply in the Byron League exceeds the demand.

The first thing they faced was a mature market. With the current output of the Yongye Army, even the large market of Valesta, the capital of the kingdom, would not be able to fill it in a short period of time, let alone other territories.

Ceramics are a free ride, and they are enough to attract people's attention. In order to show their own taste, those lords and nobles will use them as luxury items and place them in the most prominent position.

That's right, until now, the positioning of ceramics is the same as that of colored glaze, which is a luxury that people with money can afford.

It simply cannot reach the level of daily necessities that have entered thousands of households.

It is not a question of whether ordinary people can afford it, but the output is there.

This is also a kind of rarity.

The Eternal Night Army is building new ceramics and glazed factories. This time, they are not eating alone, but Princess Sophilia, Countess Angelberina, and the Eternal Night Army.

One side contributes money and connections, one party contributes coal mine resources and manpower, and the other party contributes technology and management instructors.

This is a way for the Yongye Group Army to use the method of sharing interests to make the relationship between the two sides closer.

Not to mention giving up profits, the Yongye Group Army itself does not produce coal mines, and the firing of ceramics and colored glazes is a large coal-consuming household. At that time, it will have to rely on the coal mines controlled by Countess Angelberina.

Transportation costs are quite high these days. Even with the water transportation line of the Jacob River, it can only reduce the transportation cost by one-third to one-half.

Instead of this, it is better to directly build the factory in the place where the coal mines are produced. The quality of various clays and sandstones is not inferior to that of the Andes Mountains. of.

In this way, the production cost will be greatly reduced, and the selling price will remain the same, so the profit will naturally be more.

Princess Regent Sophilia couldn't avoid it either. Of course Sean knew that direct sales would bring in money faster, but they didn't have a channel.

Not to mention that Princess Regent Sophie Leah is not happy to let their merchant ships go directly into the hinterland of Lancelot's royal territory. Even if they enter, it is still a question of whether those Byron people recognize their products, especially the main buyers Those nobles.

Once the banner of Princess Regent is hung, it will be different.

These days, there is no talk of power-money transactions or collusion between officials and businessmen. The royal power is supreme. Every plant and tree in the Lancelot royal family's territory is the royal family's private property. Sophilia has no need to harm her own people. is not.

Therefore, in many cases, the royal family is an iron signboard, a guarantee of credibility.

The fact is also true, not to mention the royal family and those grand duke families, even those small families that have been passed down for decades pay great attention to family reputation, because this is the basis for their family to continue to inherit and prosper.

A family with a flawed reputation will be spurned and rejected, and no one wants to cooperate with him.

Of course, there is never a shortage of intrigues in the family, but they are only carried out in private and rarely put on the table.

The princess regent invited Xiao En to attend the four-party meeting, obviously wanting to take the opportunity to turn the original private agreement into a public one.

The Eternal Night Army is also willing to facilitate this matter, because when the time comes, they will transform themselves from aliens to members of the Byron Alliance.

Whether those Byron people recognize it is one thing, but whether they have this great name is another matter.

At that time, it will be very beneficial for them to plot the Swamp of Despair.

In any case, for the Yongye Army, this is a great thing with far-reaching significance.

For this reason, the Yongye Group Army mobilized many troops, not only the Supreme Commander Sean went there in person, but also Andis Tiger Tagore, Eriksson and Ban Hebrew.

On the contrary, the important Skull Crusher McGee did not accompany him, but led his troops to the Twin Cities as a backup, and the troops of the Eternal Night Army also gathered in the Twin Cities without a trace.

The four parties are allies who are about to conclude a covenant. Before the meeting is officially held, a basic consensus has been reached in private, and the possibility of turning their faces and going to war is almost zero.

But be careful when sailing for ten thousand years, and of course you must be prepared for the back road.

What's more, things on the negotiating table often require military support.

If the Yongye Army didn't have three armies and twelve regiments in their hands, the more good things they brought out, the more prying eyes they would attract, and the faster they would perish.

What they got now is no longer an invitation letter for the four-party talks, but a letter of war before the full-scale invasion of Princess Regent Sophilia.

For this point, Sean had a clear understanding a long time ago, so even though they held many good things in their hands at that time, they kept them hidden and did not dare to show them off, lest they would lead to a fatal disaster.

Now there are not so many scruples. The Yongye Army can now be called powerful. Not only does it have enough force to protect itself, but its territory also has enough strategic depth. It is difficult to shake their foundation with only one or two army leaders.

Why do you say that there are twelve corps in the three armies?

In the past two years, the Yongye Army's center of gravity has revolved around Jacob Jiang Fuliu, but its own development speed has not stagnated in the slightest.

With the population base exploding, of course, a new round of enrollment expansion was needed, and the third army was established, so that the Yongye Army could live up to its name and enter a full-stack state.

At the same time, the Third Corps stationed in the northern fortress was transferred out to form the Northern Corps.

The particularity of the Northern Corps is not lower than that of the Skull Crusher Corps. Now the source of soldiers of the Yongye Army must be screened by them first, and then it will be the turn of other corps.

In addition to the special personnel, it is also because their main defense direction is the grassland, and they have a large number of war horses in their hands, and they are developing towards the cavalry regiment.

What restricts his organization now is the source of troops, and it is estimated that it will establish a second army with an independent organization in the future.

The remaining two foreign regiments are veteran regiments, the Skull Crusher Corps and the Independent Engineer Corps, the guards of McKee the Skull Crusher.

The Skull Crusher Corps, because of the marriage with the Cliff Clan, has established a stable relationship and completed the exchange of prisoners of war. It has a relatively stable source of troops and is fully staffed. As the heavy armored Corps of the Yongye Army, its position as the first in frontal combat capability cannot be shaken.

The Independent Engineer Corps was originally established for the arduous task of re-flowing the Jacob River and blasting the rivers and mountains.

After the successful blasting of Lanjiangshan, it was not dismantled, but reorganized as an independent blasting corps as a whole, continuing what they are best at, researching black powder.

However, this time the research direction is not only the blasting of the mountain, but how to apply it to the war. They already have a preliminary research direction, which is highly confidential information. Except for a very small number of senior members of the Yongye Army, the others even It is not known where the Independent Demolition Corps is stationed.

The Andes Mountains are so big, it is not easy to hide thousands of people.

Andis Tiger Tagore, Eriksson, and Ban Hebrew have also fully joined the Yongye Army and have their own specific and responsible positions.

After the further expansion of the Yongye Group Army, it is not appropriate to be called General Xiao En anymore. Now he is the supreme commander of the Yongye Group Army, but he is no longer in charge of specific operations like before.

Having said that, he was originally the shopkeeper, only controlling the overall situation and not intervening in actual affairs. It is more appropriate to say that he is a lord with the name of a general rather than a general.

Since there has never been a serious external title, and Xiao En didn't want to call himself a king in the mountains, so he didn't rectify his name. This will be one of the rare purposes for them to participate in the Quartet Meeting, to get a serious one from the regent princess. The title, the two parties have basically reached a consensus in private, and it will be just a process at that time.

The result of subdividing the rights is that Skull Crusher McGee is also the general of the First Army, Andis Tiger Tagore is the general of the Second Army, and the Third Army is formed by the former Chief of Military Staff Eriksson. .

Eriksson fully demonstrated his ability and value during his mission to the Silver Wolf Tribe. The Yongye Army would no longer be inferior, and the vacated position of Chief of Staff was taken over by Ban Hebrew.

This position is really suitable for him to continue to shine. Although it is airborne, in terms of ability, the Yongye Army has no doubts from top to bottom.

It has to be said that a coach has a great influence on the style of a legion.

The three legions under the name of the Yongye Group Army can be called three brothers of the same mother. No, to be more precise, they should be divided into three copies, and the similarity is extremely high.

But when they were assigned to different legion commanders, in just two years, they began to develop their own unique style and culture, and they were quite similar to the coach's personality.

Needless to say, the First Legion of Skull Crusher McGee continued the style of the Skull Crusher Corps, and paid great attention to the development and use of heavy armored infantry. Stuffed into his own First Legion, the selection criteria of the two legions are different, the Skull Crusher Legion is unqualified, and the ordinary legion is also a symbol of Hercules, the best of the heavy armored infantry.

In addition, McGee is a veteran of the Yongye Army, and has a thick skin. He licks his face and runs to the military supply department all day long. He has the largest number of heavy armor in his army.

Andis Tiger Tagore's Second Legion, under his influence, has a soft spot for all kinds of beasts. Each guard has its own beasts in captivity, most of which are tigers and bears. Of course, these beasts are not ordinary beasts. , but a magical beast produced by the Biological Anomaly Research Institute.

Around these monsters, they have formed a set of tactics of their own. This tactic is not effective against heavy infantry like the First Legion, but against those cavalry, it is one against one. On the Kogel Grassland, it has been verified by practice.

When it first appeared in the military exercise last year, it really attracted a lot of attention and moved many people. Among them, the Northern Corps even sent a special team to exchange learning experience. After all, they have natural advantages (the director of the Institute of Biological Anomalies The base is in the northern fortress), and the enemy is mainly cavalry.

In this regard, it is a shame that they should be left behind by the Second Army.

It's not terrible to be ashamed, what's terrible is not daring to admit it.

The Northern Corps did not have such a bad habit. If you know your mistakes, you will correct them and go upstream.

Compared with the first and second legions, Eriksson the Bull did not do more tricks, but brought his rigidity to the third legion.

Stereotype, most of the time is a derogatory term.

But in the army, it is an out-and-out compliment.

Because it represents strict discipline and prohibition.

He piled up the daily training of the Third Army to a terrifying level, and when anything accumulated to a certain amount, it would undergo a qualitative change.

Among the three major armies, the third army ranks first when it comes to collective military literacy.

Four or five years of service as chief of staff has left an indelible mark on him, making him pay great attention to collective wisdom, not only focusing on the training of military literacy for officers at all levels of the Third Army, but even establishing a regiment-level army within himself. Staff, to assist him in command.

Sean did not interfere with this kind of private sector affairs.

As the highest officer of the First Legion, this right should still be reserved, and Xiao En also wanted to see how far the other party could do it.

The idea of ​​a regiment-level staff department has been in place for a long time, but the Yongye Army's talent reserve is not sufficient enough, even if it is a general, it cannot be pulled out, and it is temporarily stranded.

It would be a good thing if Eriksson the Bull can teach a group of qualified staff.

The rigidity of running the army does not mean that Eriksson of the Bulls is rigid in his tactics. If anyone dares to take this as his character weakness, it is estimated that he will not be able to bear it.

Generally speaking, the capabilities of the three major legions are very complementary, and the combination of offense and defense has turned the Andes Mountains into a huge rock, as stable as a mountain.
