The so-called expansion of the divine realm refers to the expansion of the divine realm located in the body of the war lord and descending into the real material world, and the divine realm overlaps with the real material world.

In simple terms, it is equivalent to the Divine Realm being a city that can be placed in reality.

At this time, the soldiers in the city can go directly from the edge of the divine realm, and enemies outside the divine realm can also directly enter the divine realm through the border.

Under normal circumstances, the war lord will not risk expanding the divine realm, especially the war lord apprentice who is not strong enough. You should know that once the core of the divine realm is broken, the divine realm will collapse directly.

But sometimes some fixed resources are found in some plane fragments, such as some rare mineral veins.

Or you need to formally attack a monster lord and need to have a stable logistics base.

At this time, the divine realm will be expanded, and the civilians in the divine realm will be used to quickly dig out fixed resources, or the defense and direct soldiers and materials of the divine realm will be used as a base to slowly defeat the monster lord.

The Divine Realm is the territory of the war lord, which is its weak point and its strongest base.

Li Qing's current divine realm has neither a defensive system nor many troops, so he definitely dares not launch it, but he must be prepared as soon as possible.

Not to mention the distance, I will enter the War Academy soon and go to the field training course. If you find a large amount of resources in a certain plane fragment, should you or not?

But now there is insufficient resources, at least the wooden wall surrounding the divine realm has not been built yet and the army has not yet been built.

However, the army is simple. He now has promotion runes for twenty imperial infantry and twenty imperial archers. He can select strong adult men from his family, and then use promotion runes to digitize their bodies and transform them from ordinary mortals into war weapons.

The most basic imperial army is the level 5 imperial recruits. After digitizing the body of the promotion rune, a large number of new recruits in the promotion rune will be instantly obtained and a series of exclusive skills for professional soldiers will be mastered.

After accumulating combat experience through a lot of combat, the imperial recruits can be promoted to level 15 of the imperial official infantry and the first level.

Get more combat skills and experience in an instant, and have the strength to surpass new recruits.

If the imperial infantry survived many battles and accumulated enough combat experience, they could be promoted to a second-level army. The 25-level senior imperial infantry had stronger strength.

Correspondingly, the same is true for Imperial Archers, only for long-range troops.

It is worth mentioning that the weapons and equipment required for the promotion of the runes' own troops will be upgraded to better weapons and equipment simultaneously after the promotion, and there is no need for the lord to configure additional weapons and equipment.

However, although no additional configuration is required, if the weapons and equipment are damaged during combat, the lord still needs to be repaired by blacksmiths. Therefore, it is still necessary to equip a group of professional blacksmiths in the divine realm.

Not only can it maintain soldiers' equipment, but it can also create various agricultural tools. If the Divine Realm has the opportunity to get a large amount of iron ore in the future, it will also require blacksmiths to refine it before selling it at a high price.

But this is all for the future. Take your time and use up the supplies you have on hand first.

Seeing the remaining 20 imperial infantry promotion runes, 20 imperial archers promotion runes, and 5 imperial cavalry promotion runes, Li Qing was silent for a moment and decided to first promote 10 imperial infantry and 10 imperial archers.

The remaining 10 imperial infantry, 10 imperial archers and 5 imperial cavalrymen will not be promoted for the time being.

In addition to the insufficient number of white-name adult men who are qualified to be promoted, there are also reasons for insufficient funds.

Promotion does not cost money. It can be directly converted with promotion runes, mainly because soldiers need salaries and high maintenance fees.

Among them, the newly promoted level 0 recruits have a monthly salary of 500 yuan, and the monthly salary of twenty soldiers is 10,000 yuan.

If promoted to the first-level imperial infantry, the monthly salary will instantly jump to 2,000 yuan per month, and the total monthly salary of twenty soldiers will be 40,000 yuan...

"horrible!"

Fortunately, these civilians are all relatives of the Divine Realm, and are private property of war lords. There is no need for any conditions when recruiting soldiers. The funds for plagiarism after death in the battle are not high. According to the unified price within human civilization, 10,000 yuan per person.

Of course, this unified price is not an absolute standard, nor is it strictly required, it mainly depends on the lord's personal moral quality.

Some war lord apprentices who are not morally high or poor, or heroes who do not have the divine realm may give less money to the fujin or directly refuse to give.

However, if you do this, it will lead to negative conditions such as declining loyalty among the people in the territory, low willingness to join the army, low morale, etc.

So unless it is really poor and the economy is too difficult, the normal war lord will not be short of fighting and fighting Jin.

It is worth mentioning that the issue of soldiers’ salary is the same as fostering gold. Poor or low moral lords may give less or even not give less.

This was not a big problem when the Divine Realm was first opened. At most, you would have lower loyalty and lower morale, and the impact would not be too great.

But this behavior is not desirable after the territory develops later.

The army is the lord's greatest reliance, and loyalty and morale must not be reduced.

After all, loyalty and morale are low, and you can fight with the wind. Once you go against the wind, your subordinates may not necessarily fight for you.

Li Qing didn't want to leave any sequelae, so he was paid from the beginning.

This may make the early financial difficulties, but you can buy some peace of mind.

"It's really poor!"

Li Qing pinched his chin, and probably couldn't last long for the 250,000 cash on hand. After entering the War Academy, he had to find a way to make money as soon as possible.

It is very simple to transform troops. Li Qing summoned twenty adult men of white name and quality, walked past them with their hands on their backs, and said loudly:

"Master, I need to train a group of soldiers to protect your family. I have a monthly salary and no longer need to work. Do you want to?"

After hearing Li Qing's words, the uneasy civilians nodded happily.

For these natives born in primitive wild planes, becoming private soldiers of the noble lords is definitely a channel of ascent, and there is no place to be unwilling to do so.

Just don't reject it. Li Qing turned around and came to the first family man, stretched out his hand, and a ball of white light from complex internal patterns could be vaguely seen in the palm of his palm, and the white light quickly merged into his body. Immediately, a large number of white light threads flew out from the man's body, quickly forming a huge light cocoon to wrap it.

Li Qing took a step back, his face slowly changing as he watched the light cocoon.

The outline of the edges and corners of the human-shaped light cocoon slowly deforms, and the body shape is gradually getting bigger.

After about ten seconds, the light cocoon gradually faded from strength to dull, until it was transparent, revealing a...

“It’s amazing!”

The light disappeared, and it turned out that the farmer in linen clothes had disappeared. Instead, he was a warrior wearing a leather armor and a leather hat, holding a log shield in his left hand and a one-handed sword in his right hand, and his eyes looked sharper.

Promote runes with their own weapons and equipment, accumulate enough combat experience in the future, and the weapons will be updated as they are promoted.

Empire recruits (normal): Common melee infantry in the human camp, the most reliable backbone force on the battlefield.

Level: Level 5.

Basic skills: one-handed lv1, running lv1, shield lv1.

Advanced skill: Slash.

Slash: Accumulate power for 1 second, and deal 100% additional damage at the target ahead, with a cooldown of 30 seconds.

After observing the attributes, Li Qing asked the newly promoted recruit to retreat aside and began to promote other subordinates.

It took only ten minutes for ten imperial recruits to be promoted.

Then it began to be promoted to ten new imperial recruits, which also took ten minutes.

Imperial recruit archer (normal): a general ranged army of human camp, the most basic ranged force on the battlefield.

Level: Level 5.

Basic skills: one-handed lv1, running lv1, bow lv1.

Advanced skill: Charging arrows.

Accumulation arrow: Accumulate power for 1-3 seconds, causing 100%-200% additional damage to a single target, and cooldown time of 30 seconds.

The recruit archers are also leather armored and hats, but they don’t have shields, only a short bow, two pots of arrows, and a one-handed sword.

After the promotion, Li Qing walked around with satisfaction, gave a little encouragement, and then ordered the twenty soldiers to be divided into two parts, one of which was guarding the edge of the core tower of the central core of the Divine Realm, and the other part patrolled around the Divine Realm.

There is no captain at this stage, so he is planning to wait for them to compete internally with martial arts to determine several captains.

At this point, the foundation of the divine realm has been laid, and the next step is to earn more resources to manage and strengthen the divine realm.

Turning around and entering the tower, Li Qing looked at the empty tower floor, thought for a while, and turned around and asked several relatives to bring a few stones to him to make a bed.

The stones in the resource package are all standard one meter long, width and height, and smooth surfaces. Four pieces can be made into a bed and put into a temporary bed. Then two pieces can be made into a table, and the temporary lord's mansion will be built.

He had too few resources in his hands and had nothing to do in the territory for the time being. Li Qing asked two infantrymen to guard the door, sitting on the cold stone bed, and flipping his right hand, a whirlpool of light appeared in the palm of his palm, and a ball of light floated up and down in the vortex.

"How do you use this thing?"

Now that I have time, Li Qing has to study this golden finger carefully. After all, it is the foundation for his future survival and prosperity.

This light ball is a manifestation of a golden finger, and there is an independent space with a diameter of about 100 meters.

The edge of space is an inaccessible chaos, and from time to time, light spots fly out of the chaos and fall into the space.

The light spots accumulated before have been absorbed by Li Qing when he opened up the divine realm, causing his soul and will strength to soar several times.

But he has not yet learned extraordinary power and cannot sense what benefits this soul strength and will have brought to him that has increased several times.

This will only be known when you enter the Black Stone Tower War Lord Academy and systematically learn various extraordinary powers.

At this time, two more light spots were accumulated in this space, floating unconsciously in the empty space, but Li Qing did not collect it, but instead entered the space and carefully experienced the inside of the space...

“Huh?”

When his consciousness entered this space, a piece of information about the role of this space naturally appeared in Li Qing's mind.

He could be sure that there was no such information when he accidentally entered the divine realm before.

"Is it because the gold finger has been activated?"

He didn't worry about this, quickly received the message, and then a hint of surprise and... surprise appeared on his face.

"What a magical baby!"

The effect of this thing is very simple, it can decompose, strengthen and synthesize any substance from the root.
