From Wild Mage to Wizard King

In addition to the large-scale knight training for ordinary soldiers, Roland naturally did not give up on the training of spellcasters.

Although Donnar is the hometown of knights, the blood of Donnar people has been continuously influenced by several legendary knights. Therefore, most Donnar people are more suitable to be knights rather than spellcasters.

However, there are so many people in Donnar, and there are always places that legends cannot reach. In addition, Donnar people intermarry with Sinar people and northerners. Therefore, although there are few Donnar people with spellcasting talents, some talents can still be selected.

For these spellcasters, Roland did not let them go to the recruit training camp to improve their physical fitness. He directly allocated an area in the military camp for them and gave them the basic meditation method, so that they could start meditation practice directly.

For these spellcasters, Roland did not intend to train them as carefully as he trained Hela, nor did he intend to train them to become a legal spellcaster that meets the definition of the Tower of Truth like Sinar. Roland wanted to train war mages who specialize in war.

If ordinary spellcasters are scholars and researchers, then war mages are soldiers.

Of course, Roland did not completely eliminate their innovations. As long as they could meet Roland's requirements and practice the spells that Roland selected for them, Roland would not care about what they wanted to do.

However, even so, due to the atmosphere of Donnar, some soldiers with spellcasting talents refused to become spellcasters. In this regard, Roland did not force them, but respected their choices and threw them into the recruit camp or kicked them out of the barracks.

In the end, Roland screened for most of the day, and there were less than a hundred soldiers with spellcasting talents and willing to become spellcasters.

Moreover, compared with the smooth popularization of breathing methods on the knights' side, the meditation method here is full of difficulties.

Although there is no difference between the two paths of knights and spellcasters, the threshold for spellcasters is indeed much higher than that of knights.

The breathing method of a knight can be trained hard, but the meditation method of a spellcaster really depends on talent and wisdom. Even if there are auxiliary props, it is still very difficult for an ordinary person to enter a meditative state and capture his soul.

Moreover, the danger of meditation is the highest. If the breathing method is not practiced well, the body will be damaged. You can eat something good to replenish the body and rest for a few days. But meditation may hurt your soul if you are not careful. At that time, you can either spend a lot of money to buy alchemical potions to nourish the soul, or you can only lie down for a month or two and wait for the soul to recover slowly.

Therefore, even in Sinar, the number of spellcasters is much less than that of knights.

Therefore, even if these soldiers under Roland who know nothing try to meditate for several days with the meditation method, less than 20 people can successfully capture the soul and complete the first meditation.

However, fortunately, Roland prepared a large number of alchemical potions in the space bracelet in advance, and with his personal guidance, these reserve battle mages have all been on the right track after spending almost a month.

While Roland was training the army, Hela was naturally not idle.

After the makeshift team of Old Qi was established and expanded rapidly, Hela no longer handled government affairs every day, and in terms of food, Hela had nothing to do.

Since the makeshift team of Old Qi provided Hela with sufficient manpower, Hela basically did not need to do the material collection herself. As for the extraction of life force, Hela did not need to do it after commanding the workers under her command and arranging dozens of large and small magic arrays.

All the work can be handed over to ordinary workers, and Hela only needs to be responsible for monitoring to avoid any accidents or corruption.

Therefore, after freeing up her hands, Hela began to prepare for the equipment of the army.

Although there are many mineral veins in Old Qi City, most of these mineral veins have been abandoned due to the green tide. Even if more people are sent to deal with these mineral veins, not much resources can be dug out for a while.

Moreover, all the blacksmiths in Old Qi City have run away, and there are only a few left. It is basically impossible to rely on them to create sufficient weapons and equipment.

Therefore, Hela chose another method, planting trees.

After Roland made the decision to establish a force, he considered the issue of weapons and equipment when he went to Donnar.

Although strange machines are the answer to the future version, in the current era, only the dwarves in the North Sea have the technical ability to form a strange machine army.

Although Roland also knows a little about strange machines, and his knowledge is more advanced than that of the dwarves, he can't always focus all his energy on making strange machines. Moreover, without a strange machine master accompanying the army, how to do the daily maintenance of strange machines?

Therefore, after thinking again and again, Roland gave up the idea of ​​building a strange machine army.

Before having a stable territory and the capital to attract and deceive a dwarf tribe to come and join, the strange machine army can think about it.

Therefore, after checking his own conditions, Roland turned his attention to the plants he cultivated in the Kes Mountains a few years ago: golden trees and blue leaf trees.

These trees can just be used, especially the golden tree, whose main purpose is to make armor.

The golden bark is light, comfortable, and has excellent magic resistance and physical defense properties. It is undoubtedly an excellent choice for making armor.

Even if it is only processed and hardened into armor, it is much stronger than ordinary armor. If it is enchanted, the defense will be even stronger.

In addition, in addition to the bark, other parts of the golden tree are also useful. The leaves can be used as raw materials for making food. Moreover, as an extraordinary tree, the amount of life force that can be drawn every day is not small.

As for the blue-leaf tree used for papermaking, Roland did not let it go. It would be good to use it to make a set of paper underwear for the soldiers. Maybe it can save their lives. If the golden tree armor is penetrated, the paper underwear can still resist.

In addition, in terms of weapons, Roland also specially cultivated new extraordinary vegetation, ironwood, a special tree with a black body and no leaves. The hard wood it produces is more suitable for making weapons.

Since Roland was busy training soldiers, the planting of these vegetation was naturally handed over to Hela.

Therefore, after leaving the task of rolling the pie to others, Hela has been busy planting and promoting the growth of these vegetation. At the same time, she also has to command her subordinates to collect bark and leaves, carry out various processing, and continuously produce various weapons and equipment.

Just as Roland and Hela put all their energy on the military, the administrative expansion of Jiuqi was also proceeding in an orderly manner.

Since Jiuqi's makeshift team has already taken shape, except for some major issues that Roland needs to occasionally take some time to solve, it can basically operate independently.

Especially because Roland is their boss, as ordinary people, they can't hide anything from Roland.

This means fairness. As long as they do a good job and have achievements, Roland will promote them. If there is really no position, he will give rewards. For example, Roland will give several officials who do the best work, each of them a chance to become extraordinary.

Although Roland plans to give every official a chance to become extraordinary in the future, after all, no matter what job an extraordinary person does, he is much better than ordinary people, but at present, Roland still needs to focus on training the army.

Therefore, the number of places available to officials is relatively limited.

Under the temptation of extraordinary power, the officials of Old Qi City also worked frantically to get a chance.

If they were lazy, did not do a good job, or even wanted to deceive their superiors and subordinates, and were corrupt, the former would just be kicked out and replaced, while the latter would be killed directly.

Therefore, even without Roland and Hela's deliberate promotion, after the makeshift team of Old Qi City had incorporated all the refugee camps, in order to gain more merits, they also looked at the villages around the city and took the initiative to send people to prepare to control all these villages that nominally belonged to Old Qi.
