Xia He's team encountered obstacles before reaching the second goal.

The enemy is a human army with about 800 people, equipped with ten chariots, including miniature magic cannons and magical crossbows.

Xia He's flying warship went directly to knock out these heavy equipment. In addition to the enemy's chariots, there were also two steel golems carried by the army.

When the flying warship retreated, there were only more than five hundred enemies left on the ground.

The rebellion of the northern nobility in the past two years has missed the opportunity to change the dressing in the imperial aristocratic circle, and the empire cannot provide them with new equipment. The more than 500 soldiers were a little confused. Xia He's army has accelerated the marching speed within a distance of less than ten miles.

When the distance between the two sides was two miles away, the speed of the academy mercenaries decreased and they lined up again.

The chariot was behind, and more than 200 soldiers were maintained. There were 100 Sun City cavalry on each wing, 200 heavy armored horse infantry in front, and 500 musketeers and 200 reserve teams behind.

The team was in a dignified manner and rushed forward. After more than 500 meters, the musketeers launched an attack.

The magic projectile roared past, and the maximum range of the Viscount's soldiers and arrows was only 300 meters, and the ideal killing effect was within 100 meters. The magic cannon and the crossbow cannon have been knocked out, which is a unilateral massacre.

The students led by Xia He felt a little reluctant to see this scene.

"Principal, why not surrender them?"

"Because, it is not yet time to show kindness. Now showing kindness will be regarded as weak by the enemy."

The students don’t understand very well, but they can’t say anything anymore. Since the principal and the adults have a decision, they are not even executors. They are just here to learn, so why are they talking too much?

The mercenaries approach step by step, and the closer they get, the stronger the killing effect.

The viscount's soldiers soon collapsed and turned around and fled. The propulsion line of the heavy armored infantry became a decoration, and the musketeers did not chase them, and the cavalry on both wings rushed over from behind.

These two hundred cavalrymen are considered veterans who have been trained in Sun City for a long time. They can shoot and aim on the mount while galloping quickly. Viscount's archers do not have the ability to escape at high speed while turning around and attacking. Even if they do, these cavalrymen don't care.

Bang! Bang...

There was no unbearable look on Xia He's face. He would not use this kind of enemy to refine his soul, and he would return to nature after he died. There was no God of the Underworld in this world, and there was no problem of soul reincarnation. Death is the end and also liberation.

When dealing with the soul, Taoist priests usually adopt a forgiveness attitude.

But this kind of forgiveness is only aimed at one's own world and human race.

These soldiers were not lucky, and Xia He now needed to establish his authority. Otherwise, most of them would still survive.

It was just the difference in weapons. In the short-term field battle, the academy mercenaries wiped out the enemy. Although the number of enemies was small, the equipment was good. If it were the past, the losses on Xia He would not be small in this battle.

It is still the same rule, clean the battlefield and count the spoils.

The most valuable thing was smashed, including magic cannons and steel golems. But there was no way, this thing would remain, which would pose a life threat to Xia He's army.

However, it finally has recycling value. Xia He asked the magic net mage to decompose the materials and collect them himself.

Then he spent time burning the hundreds of enemies to ashes and set up a cemetery in the wilderness. The magician turned mud into stone and set up a blank tombstone. Among the ashes, personal belongings of the dead were added. But Xia He knew that no one would come to check it out.

The students don’t understand, why bother with these things?

Xia He said to the students seriously: "This is respect for the dead of human race. If it were half-elves, I would chop their heads and build them on the ground, so that other people can see what the outcome will be when confronting the human race."

The students understand this time, and they can understand the respect for the human race itself.

Because of the education of the empire, some similar things were mixed in.

However, Xia He didn't say that if the enemy was a soul above the legend, he would be polite. The legendary soul could be reincarnated unless it was severely damaged. But even the Taoist priest of Yangshen would have a mystery in the fetus, let alone the magician who had not studied this.

The cold wind was cold, and Xiahe temporarily camped not far from the battlefield. Even the short battle would have an impact on the soldiers and the pressure on the soul.

Moreover, in the current combat method, magic muskets need to be maintained, and it is best to do it once after each battle. Unless the magic muskets become cheaper, they can be thrown away as you like.

The problem is that behind things do not mean cheap. This thing is still used on a large scale. If you can save money, Xia He will not waste it. He has hundreds of thousands of people under his command, each with one to three magic muskets, mainly magicians and some strong men over the twenty level. The magic muskets will be equipped with more magic muskets.

When he became rich in the future, Xia He planned to give each soldier at least two, one long and one short.

There are too many things involved in this. Ordinary soldiers can only use simpler ones because they cannot maintain the normal use of weapons in special environments, and no matter how expensive it is, they cannot. Magicians can obtain weapons with multiple attributes. Professionals over 20 levels can also protect the magic musket in their hands and allow them to fire normally.

The temporary camp has a simple defense, but it is surrounded by chariots and its defense attributes are still OK.

The soldiers maintained their weapons, and the magic net mage decomposed the spoils, and it soon came to night. Xia He ordered the soldiers to have a short rest, then set off the stove on the spot, and let the soldiers have a hot meal of meat.

The second castle is not far away, and it is the location of Viscount Murphy's iron ore.

Before Xia He could send troops, a team of ten people came to Xiahe camp.

"Marquis, I am the chief knight of Huaihua Castle. On behalf of the castle, I surrender to you."

In Xiahe's camp tent, the soldiers who came to the camp knelt in front of Xiahe and raised their long swords above their heads.

"Knight, surrender to me, what about your loyalty to the Viscount?" Xia He looked at the young master. He was only in his early thirties and had the power to be close to epic. He should be the most trusted person around the Viscount. It is not easy for a viscount to be able to support such talents.

"Huahua Castle, I don't want to be destroyed. I am not your opponent, I can only surrender, but not surrender. I am your captive. I am grateful if you are willing to let the Viscount redeem me with money."

Xia He smiled and said, "Nothing is so good. Your viscount owes me a lot of money. This time I send troops to fight, and he has to pay all the money he consumes. If he refuses... you will become a knight who has lost the lord."

The Knight was sad, but he could do nothing.

The Viscount obviously did something wrong. He could not fight against the Blood Mage. The promises of other northern nobles were useless.

"But it's best not to fight. Since you surrender, I won't make things difficult for the people of Huaihua Castle. I will send you to the academy and be a prisoner. If the viscount refuses to surrender and refuses to pay the gold coins he owes me, I can only say sorry, but you don't have to pay the ransom. If you don't surrender, I will execute you."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." The knight put down his sword and silently left the tent.

Of course, someone went to escort the prisoners, and Xiahe sent people to investigate. Sure enough, Huaihua Castle was no longer on guard. Xiahe's people went there and handed over the management authority.

Xia He sent out people and escorted the prisoners to the Tenth Magic Academy. When he passed by Fenglin Baishuang Castle, he asked the castle to replenish troops.

Xia He's magic musket tactics have requirements for the number of soldiers. If they are less than one thousand, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Because the enemy is a northern noble who has already lost many soldiers. Considering that the scale will not exceed 10,000, they are all scattered in various castles and cities, otherwise Xia He will bring more people out.

The iron ore is closer to Huaihua Castle. Xiahe took a walk around. Like Maple Forest Baifrost Castle, the warehouse accumulated a lot of steel. Xiahe was satisfied and went to see the iron ore again. It had a large reserve, good quality and easy mining.

Why not kill such viscount?

This castle is the core area of ​​the Viscount Territory, and it is also relatively large. The mine itself is a small town and has the ability to directly refine steel. However, steel is not raw coal and cannot be further refined and compressed. It takes a lot of energy to transport these steel back.

If you use a teleportation array, the cost is too high.

The transmission array needs to calculate the quality. The price of steel is the cheapest in the place of origin. The additional price afterwards all comes from the transportation cost.

I'm afraid no one will use the teleportation array to teleport steel, and Xia He cannot be so luxurious.

I had to transport it back to the college first. The college does not have magic airships, which does not mean there will be no future. Large airships are still cheap to transport supplies, but there are very few places for large airships, and Xia He has never made them himself.

I can only rely on medium-sized magic airships, plus some magicians, who carry badges and use badge space to transport them.

All the steel is transported to Sun City. If you use a sea boat to send it to Storm Point, you will have to train and fleets to travel.

As long as the sea ship is not sunk, it is cheaper to transport supplies than anything else.

Xia He did not rush to continue the attack, and began to collect resources at Huaihua Castle, and then asked Freya to send people to bring parts of the large mining puppet. He was going to mine directly here. The alchemy equipment in this mine is large and advanced, and the output will be very high.

If no one stops him, Xiahe will continue to mine here.

The next day, the Sun City sent the god general Su Xue over to take charge of the mine. On the third day, a magic airship brought five hundred knights of the assembly and landed directly in Huaihua Castle.

The one who led the Knights was Medilly.
