Chapter 970 Military Meeting
Lie Prajna finally left.
As he left, the group of "new recruits" on Huanyin's parade ground, who had been busy, suddenly became more energetic. At the same time, they became extremely experienced in doing things, and showed a deep temperament that only soldiers who have been soldiers for too long can have.
Under this change, the entire parade ground developed more quickly towards order and maturity. It seems that in a short time, Huanyin's troops composed of "new recruits" will become more refined, energetic, and spiritual than many old troops.
Of course, Lie Prajna could not see all this.
In the center of the parade ground, in the largest central army tent, Huanyin, dressed in white and with silver hair, sat in the first place. Beside him was Bai Kui, who was also dressed in snow-white. And below him, there were a total of 18 people wearing armor and iron helmets.
Huanyin's eyes seemed to pass through the big tent and look at the distant sky. After a while, he retracted his gaze and said softly: "He's gone."
Suddenly, the eighteen people below were all shocked, and they took off their helmets in unison, revealing different faces. However, they had one thing in common, they were all Tiandao monks!
"Welcome the emperor back!" The eighteen people knelt down at the same time and bowed deeply to Huanyin.
Huanyin looked down, and a kingly temperament was immediately revealed. However, in this kingly temperament, it was less sharp than the previous Emperor Shitian, and more vicissitudes and maturity.
Until his eyes flowed through the faces of all the eighteen people, Huanyin couldn't help but sigh and said: "My dears, you have suffered a lot over the years, please get up."
The eighteen people bowed again, and then all stood up. They looked so neat that even if they stood up together, only one sound was made. Then, they stood on both sides of the big tent again, divided into two rows, and looked at Huanyin with fanaticism.
These eighteen people are not new recruits, nor are they old subordinates of the Xiuxian family or Yue Fengyun. They are actually the old bandits brought back by Huan Yin from Lingmen Mountain, and they are Huan Yin's true loyalists!
At this moment, the so-called "new recruits" active on Huan Yin's training ground are not even a real new recruit. Except for a few of them who are old members of Huan Yin's Feipeng team, the rest are also from Lingmen Mountain, and they are old subordinates when Huan Yin was in power!
Lie Prajna thought that Huan Yin had disintegrated his calculations by recruiting new members, but in fact, that was impossible. How could Huan Yin, who was the master of the heaven in the past, not understand this truth?
Huan Yin just performed a new trick for Lie Prajna, on the one hand to cover up, and on the other hand to make Lie Prajna, who was against him everywhere, angry to death.
Under the trick, the real hidden fact is that Yue Xiaoxian temporarily kept the old bandits from Lingmen Mountain after bringing them back. Until Huan Yin recruited new members, they appeared one by one in different ways, and naturally joined Huan Yin's army, from an old bandit to an officer.
As for the supplies, Huan Yin followed the same method and collected them. However, among the large amount of supplies, there was actually a part that was brought out from Lingmen Mountain by Huan Yin's old subordinates, but it was not revealed.
"Everyone, is everything arranged?" After a moment of silence, Huan Yin looked at everyone again and spoke.
Now those who are qualified to stand in this tent are the leaders of Huan Yin's old subordinates. The old subordinates have returned, and they should share many things with Huan Yin, so Huan Yin asked this question.
At the front of the left, an extremely tall and strong old man took a step and came right in front of Huan Yin. He bowed respectfully to Huan Yin and said, "Your Majesty, although we haven't lived in the sun for a long time, we are all veterans and we adapt quickly. Now everything in the camp is going on in an orderly manner. Tomorrow at noon, I dare to invite Your Majesty to review the troops!"
The old man who spoke was Tong Dong. When he spoke at this moment, in addition to showing respect and enthusiasm, he also had a strong sense of self-confidence, as if he had completely arranged the things that Huan Yin had told him.
Nodding, Huan Yin felt relaxed. He knew that Tong Dong had a strong ability to lead and manage troops. If he had not been Huan Yin's personal guard, he would have been able to be a great king and command thousands of troops without any problem.
Now Huan Yin's team seems to have suddenly increased by thousands of times and is difficult to manage. However, on the one hand, these soldiers were Huan Yin's old subordinates, with their own system, mature and capable, and on the other hand, he had Tong Dong and the other generals present to assist him. Therefore, even if he just let go of this army, it would not become lax, it would be ready at any time, and it would be thousands of times stronger than ordinary troops.
Moreover, even if Huan Yin really recruited a large number of new people in the future, he would not have to lead the new soldiers personally like he did with Wen Renhen and the others. Huan Yin could leave all these things to Tong Dong. Now he had enough space to do what he, the monarch, should do.
Huan Yin said with satisfaction: "There is no need for the military parade, but in the future, you, Tong Lao, will have to take care of the military affairs. What I want is a strong army that can fight at any time. Because our goal is Shanxian City!"
Tong Dong's expression became serious, and he said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, in the future, unless it is special, you will not bother yourself with any military affairs!"
"Yes", Huan Yin said again: "By the way, those old members of my Feipeng team, they are all good seedlings. As long as they are sincere, we can focus on cultivating them."
Tong Dong nodded, and Huan Yin continued: "You just came out from Lingmen Mountain. There should still be many problems in the army. In addition, now that you have joined me, the goals are different. Let's talk about it. Now our army What is the biggest difficulty in growing the team? ”
Tong Dong had already guessed that Huan Yin would ask this question, because he had always known Huan Yin and knew that Huan Yin was a person who cared about important matters. What's more, now that Huan Yin wants to buck the trend, he doesn't have much time to be polite and dawdle.
Tongtong replied: "Your Majesty, there are two most urgent problems that need to be solved at present. One is that we have been hiding for too long and are short of magic weapons. We urgently need a large number of high-quality magic weapons. I think it is best to solve this problem. The best way is to set up a weapon refining camp by ourselves. After all, as long as we can cultivate a group of mature weapon masters, we will not have to worry about expanding our power in the future. This is a once and for all solution, which is better than buying directly. There is a lack of weapon-refining talents in the old department. I went to inquire about it, and it seems that it is very difficult to recruit, because the weapon masters are controlled by the major military camps. "
With a slight smile, Huan Yin said: "This problem is easy to solve. Tomorrow I will introduce you to a man named Yu Xiantong. He is now helping me prepare for the weapon refining. If you find him, he will give you a satisfactory answer." result."
Tong Dong was a little worried and hesitated: "Your Majesty, our number is now seven thousand. How can Yu Xiantong be so capable?"
Huan Yin said: "That is not only his ability, but also partly my ability. Don't worry about this, you will know tomorrow."
Tong Dong nodded, and Huan Yin continued: "The problem of weapon refining is not big at present, but are there any craftsmen in your old department?"
Craftsmen are rare in the human world and hell, but in the heaven world, they are an indispensable talent in the army.
Craftsmen have something in common with weapon masters and alchemists, that is, they are all talents with craftsmanship and good fortune, and can provide indispensable materials for the army. But craftsmen are also different, that is, the weapon master refines weapons, the alchemist refines elixirs, but the craftsmen create things!
Craftsmen specialize in forging large-scale military combat equipment. For example, chariots, warships, even warships, or large weapons for siege, etc.
Such combat equipment is different from magic weapons. Magic weapons are often used by one person, and their power is closely linked to the strength of their owner. However, there is no limit on the number of users of the equipment. Some can be shared by multiple people, and some can operate independently without people. Moreover, the operation of the equipment often does not mainly rely on the spiritual power of the monks, but is driven by spiritual stones.
Of course, due to the huge size of the equipment, there are often many things that can be contained in it. It is not impossible to use spells, formations, special attack methods, and even carry a large number of magic weapons. It can also be seen from this that the refining of instruments is often complicated.
However, although the equipment is difficult to refine, once it is refined, it can play a more terrifying role on the battlefield than the same magic weapon. In particular, it does not require much spiritual power from monks, so it has the ability to change the situation of the battle. Even if the monks on one side are weak, once the equipment is powerful and the spiritual stones are enough, it is not impossible to defeat the stronger troops.
And it is precisely because of the great role of instruments on the battlefield that craftsmen, especially excellent craftsmen, are extremely sought-after talents in the heavenly world. Huan Yin is now officially leading the army, and he will definitely need to fight in the future. Therefore, he is concerned about the problems of craftsmen.
Tong Dong said: "Your Majesty, we happen to still have some craftsmen, and now they have been arranged to secretly build large-scale equipment for future use. However, in this regard, we still need to introduce talents and continue to develop. It's up to me. The group of craftsmen brought out will definitely not be enough in the future. "
