After the magic circle was completed, Huo Ling could also relax.

These blacksmiths are all good skilled workers, and now Huo Ling has regarded them as his own private property.

When the work in the Kingdom of Alto is done, he will definitely pull these blacksmiths to Purgatory, and then continue to work hard in his own territory, which is a good thing.

The armor and weapons currently cast for the Kingdom of Alto have also been carefully designed by Huo Ling.

The overall is a set of black metal armor, and the protection area is mainly the chest, abdomen and head. The armor on the legs and arms is relatively thin.

However, this is already a very good armor in the Terri plane, and many elite private soldiers of nobles are no more than this.

But the cost of such armor is only about half of the armor used by other noble soldiers.

The reason is also very simple. The armor designed by Huo Ling can only be used by the soldiers of the magic army, and the power source required by the armor is the same as that of the magic army.

Although this will weaken the continuous combat effectiveness of the demon army, it is not a big problem.

After the blood transformation, the demon soldiers can absorb some food with magic power, and even magic stones can accelerate the recovery of strength.

Their bodies are rougher, and even magic stones can be eaten and digested directly, although this will have side effects on their bodies and even shorten their lifespan.

However, everyone, including Augustine, did not think there was any problem.

Now the combat effectiveness of these demon soldiers, the weapons and equipment they use, are comparable to the elite soldiers of the Ante Empire, and even stronger.

The reason is very simple. These soldiers have no wisdom and will not be affected by morale at all. They only want to fight.

...

After leaving the foundry, Huo Ling came to the laboratory of the court mage.

He plans to spend some resources here to make a batch of potions to protect some potential demon soldiers.

Soldiers without wisdom, they are not an exaggeration to say that they are puppets. Their peak strength is the black iron level, and there will be no chance to continue to promote.

However, the gap between the armies of the Kingdom of Alto and the Ante Empire is comprehensive. Not only is the number of Black Iron-rank soldiers not as good as his, but the number of Silver-rank officers is also far behind.

If the magic army soldiers are only Black Iron-rank, but there are no qualified Silver-rank soldiers as the backbone of the battle, it is easy for the enemy to gather superior forces to break the formation.

So when some soldiers will not be affected by blood disease and become irrational beasts, they will not have to be completely destroyed by the caster.

These soldiers will have the opportunity to continue to be promoted. As long as they slowly use disaster coins to increase their training speed, maybe Silver-rank soldiers will appear in a while.

This quick-made Silver-rank certainly has its shortcomings. In addition to spending a lot of money, it is overdrawing vitality.

According to Huo Ling's calculations, such Silver-rank soldiers are likely to live only about ten years, and their combat effectiveness will not exceed six years at the peak.

This is simply a waste for a Silver-rank professional.

But for the Kingdom of Alto, it's better to waste a little, than the Augustine royal family being completely wiped out.

Six years is enough for the Kingdom of Alto. If the battle goes well, the former glory of the Alto Empire may be restored!

…

For Augustine, what he needs most now is time.

If the Ante Empire does not give him the opportunity to develop, it will be useless even if he expands the magic army. The growth of the magic army cannot be completed overnight.

It will take at least a year to complete the magic army, and only half a year has passed.

Not only some soldiers have not practiced to the black iron level, but there are more soldiers who have not worn complete armor.

And because of the blood disease, Augustine can only exchange resources with Huo Ling for disaster coins to continue to accelerate the training speed of these soldiers.

Because if they lose their wisdom before the blood disease occurs, then they will have almost no chance to practice.

The battle logic spells released for these warriors cannot give them the possibility to continue practicing.

Augustine had already disbanded the nobles and soldiers who had been recruited after Huo Ling killed those nobles who had disloyalty.

He actively conveyed the message of peace to the Ante Empire and sent many envoys. These envoys brought resources and magic stone currency to bribe some officials of the Ante Empire.

With the blessing of these bribes, the Ante Empire really slowed down its pace of preparing to attack the Alto Kingdom.

The system of the Ante Empire and the Alto Empire is almost the same, both of which are aristocratic feudal systems.If you count them, Daxia in Blue Star also has an aristocratic feudal system, but many of the nobles in Daxia are still nominally enfeoffed, and the fiefs they own in Blue Star are not large.

Their main strength is in the spirit world, in the bases and territories they have opened up in the spirit world.

But in the Terri plane, the nobles here have not yet embarked on the path of plane development, and what they do more is to fight with other nobles.

In Huo Ling's opinion, the current Ante Empire and the Alto Kingdom are two countries that are completely competing with each other.

Except that the Ante Empire is slightly larger, it is completely no different from the Alto Kingdom. In the struggle for the throne in the past few years, the power of the royal family of the Ante Empire has also been greatly lost, and there are also great nobles in the country who are ready to move.

Power is a deadly poison for all those who have tasted it, and no one will give up the opportunity to gain greater power.

At present, the Ante Empire is temporarily unable to bring up the intention to go to war with the Alto Empire, so Augustine will have at least more than half a year of development time.

The war between two countries is not like a fight between two people, which can be started at any time.

If the Ante Empire wants to mobilize the nobles in the country to attack the Kingdom of Alto, the difference is that it may not mobilize all the nobles.

The territory of the Ante Empire is even larger. Even if the order to start a war is issued, it will take about two months or even longer for all the nobles to gather under the banner of the royal family with their private soldiers.

The private soldiers need to prepare weapons and equipment, and the nobles need to recruit serfs as cannon fodder for the battle. The vassals need to bring their own food and grass to fight for their lords, which also takes time to prepare.

Now it is winter, and if all this work is done in winter, it will really kill people.

The winter in the Terry plane is particularly cold. If the crops in this plane are not growing fast and the yield is high, I don’t know how many people will starve to death in winter.

So before winter passes and spring comes, the Kingdom of Alto is safe.
