Bai En doesn't care if those slaves become 'slave' or 'debtor', but if there is really no 'slave' on Fatalin Island. At least it can make the Fatalin Association look like a more civilized organization, which would be more beneficial in diplomacy.

"These still fail to explain why the association cannot afford to build a new army. The Battle of Bill Barley ... The association should understand that we are almost cannon fodder on the battlefield. We cannot even win in the face of a single city-state, maybe rely on The fleet can have some advantages at sea. "

"Oh," Falheim laughed mockingly. "Your idea is too beautiful. In fact, if Fatalin's fleet can really face other forces' fleets, they don't need to be pirates."

"Can't even the association's new warships get an advantage?" Bai En asked puzzled. "Only the limited advantage can be said," Falheim said with a smile. "Our" friend ", Audlik-Kaosus, is now the chairman of the Seven Ports Alliance. He has nearly a thousand warships under his command. There are at least fifty new warships, and it is said that they are still nonstop. It will not take many years to build the land, he will have at least hundreds of new warships. The last time he sent people to trade, the transportation fleet alone came with 300 ships. "

"What about us?"

"Eleven ships, the size is all counted. If you count the total number of Netska's hands, there are about 70 ships, plus the nearly 50 warships controlled by the Fatalin Association itself. There are only a hundred ships in the association. Battleships used for expeditions. "" Not too few. "Bai En sighed.

"But absolutely not much. Amen Cannon is planning to seize the ruined town on the west coast of Fatalin Island and prepare to build a large dock there. To ensure that future warships can be continuously produced from there."

"So the money is spent there? So there is no way to build a new army?" Bai En didn't understand Amen Cannon's plan. "Why are you so eager to build a warship?"

"Alas," Falheim sighed. "Do you remember the magic cannon from Amen Cannon many years ago?"

"Of course," Bai En nodded. "The spell study was successful."

"And then?" Bai En still didn't understand.

"With the magic tower on Fatalin Island, if we count the necessary cooling time, we can almost continuously use that spell forty to fifty times. And the power of that spell, even our biggest new warship, I was not able to survive being hit. "

"Forty to fifty times? That is to say, all the Master Towers are connected, right?" Bai En thought of Amen Cannon's original plan. "Can't that spell continue to be strengthened? What if the magic is exhausted at once?"

"Mage Tower will explode." Falheim leaned back on the back of his chair, looking up at the ceiling. "No one can survive around the Master Tower, and Fatalin City ... I am afraid not many people will survive. Even Fatalin Island ..."

"There is such a great power?" Bai En was not quite convinced.

"I'm not saying that Tallinn Island will be destroyed, but I doubt it is similar. All mage towers are built at the magic node, and the energy stored in all the mage towers is released at once, which is equivalent to detonating the magical vein of the entire Fallinn Island. Survived by this level of magic. And it may indeed cause some huge energy to completely destroy part of Fatalin Island. "

Bai En was silent, and he thought quickly.

"It seems ... is good news?" Bai En said with some uncertainty. "If we really face the enemy, at least they have to worry about whether we will die with them."

"Alas," Falheim sighed and shook his head. "You, Antalatem and Dean really have exactly the same idea. But Amen Cannon and I think that the most important thing is, how do you convince our enemies of this? Moreover, you really intend to kill all People? For what? "

Yeah, for what. Bai En frowned for a moment. If everything is destroyed, then why? To survive? They can run away. They can even surrender.

"For power?" Bai En seemed to only think of such a possibility.

"There is still hatred," Falheim said with a long sigh. "There are only two possibilities. So Amen Cannon and I will not allow anyone to do this. And only five of us know this."

"Five? What about the others?"

"Black Elk ... He wants to quit, at least until the church opposite the night, he will not be involved in these broken things. As for Flynn, since the night owl died, he hid in his mage tower, except for Apprentices, no one can see him. "

"Damn, this thing changed everything, didn't it?" When referring to Ye Xiao's death, Bai En didn't know what to say.

"So, let me answer your question," Falheim did not intend to continue to talk about the night owl. "Amen Cannon does not intend to involve the Fatalin Association personally in the war. The previous allies as a party to the war have benefited us a lot, but ... our losses are also great. So Amen Cannon decided to continue our position , Only to participate in the war as an "ally" or mercenary, profit from it, and strive to reap a few "friends."

"and then?"

"Before finding the old nest of the night church, continue to expand our fleet and build some really useful troops. After we determined the position of the old church of the night church, we contacted our" friends "to initiate the expedition together. . Because of this, you can continue your 'adventure' life, provided that we have not found their home. "

"I understand," Bai En nodded. "I will go back before starting the expedition."

"Well, I believe you will." Falheim nodded affirmatively as well. "As for the financial aspect, do you know how many people there are in Heidelberg?"

"Ten thousand people." Bai En said uncertainly.

"180,000 people, at the very least there are 120,000 people. That is the population remaining after a plague many years ago." Falheim said lightly. "Do you know how many people there are in Fatalin Island?"

"Almost this amount."

"Goblins accounted for most of it, nearly 100,000. The dwarves should add up to a little over 20,000. The Ogan people asked that it was said to be close to 10,000, maybe more. The swamp demon is more than we thought, more than 1,000 . There are also scattered forces, such as kobolds, not to mention. "Falheim sighed.

"Victor's death reduced our control of Goblin, but it was still within control. At least Hugo survived. The dwarves were very dissatisfied with the losses in the war, but passed some politics in parliament. In exchange, they are still our strongest supporters. Although we do n’t understand why, but the dwarves may be as valued as promises. The swamp demon and the Ogan people have different views on death, but they are The loss in the war is the most insignificant side, after all, they have obtained enough benefits in the war. "

"But this group of people, even the Ogan people, the Association did not even dare to treat them as real human beings. And the real human aspect of the island. There are at least six thousand people in the rib city of Miyala. Actually The population should be much larger than this number. There are close to 150 formal mages in the association, and close to 3,000 'mage apprentices', but you and I know that most of these people will not become mages. The main recruitment target is the wandering mage, especially those wandering mage who are worthy of becoming a formal mage after studying in the caster academy. "

Falheim shook the glass, poured some wine from the bottle, and continued.

"There are 7,000 people in the port of Tatuga, but Antalatum believes that there are actually at least 9,000 people because of the crew ’s frequent trips to the sea. There are also large and small villages scattered all over the place, maybe 20,000 or even more More than that, this thing cannot be counted at all. However, in Fatalin City, even in one of the twenty-four planned areas in the Fatalin City, which is planned by Amenganong far beyond the city limits of Heidelberg, the people are dissatisfied. Tallinn is similar to a ghost town at night. "

"Did you know? Heidelberg alone receives tax from urban residents ten times that of the Fatalin Association from all the powers and towns of Fatalin Island. So Heidelberg can only raise more than the association by taxation. army."

"The association still needs a population, and it is a large population." Bai En concluded.

"Yes, but fortunately we have a lot of power and organization. They can help us accomplish this much." Falheim continued after taking a sip of wine. "And the recent form seems to be increasingly beneficial to us."

"Trouble explaining."

"You know, there are many forces on the island, and the Light Association has the Sisters of Mercy, Alchemy Research Society, Atheistic Society, Rune Mage Group, Cloak Brotherhood, Engineering Mechanics Association, Alchemist Association, Pharmacist Association Wait, etc. And they all need people. It is too unrealistic to expect the development of a formal mage from the Fatalin Association, so they also began to recruit and train people from apprentices. These organizations are actually subordinate organizations of the Fatalin Association, so How much can help the association. "

"And the beast tide in the south has a great impact. After we controlled the port of St. Louis, we passed Moradron and our 'friends' in Reermas. With the policy of Amen Cannon to recruit refugees. Now almost every year The boat full of refugees docked. Antalatem is now responsible for receiving them and arranging them to Fatalin City. At present scale, Fatalin City will become the next Heidelberg, and even A larger city than Heidelberg, after all, the planned area is much larger than here. And with those mage towers, we do n’t even need a city wall to limit the size of the city. "

"It sounds like a good plan, except it's more time-consuming." Bai En nodded. "And, the beast tide you said, I guess it will end sooner or later, or will it not affect us in the end?"

"Who knows?" Falheim shook his glass. "It has been several years since we first heard the news. It is said that the beast tide has been going north and even diverged several times in the middle. There are several orcish troops heading to the magical kingdom of Elba, but it is said that only one orcish army succeeded Passed through the desert and died in front of the united army of the French King's Hall. It is rumored that the French King ordered the orc's body and head to be inserted on a wooden pile and stood in the desert as a road sign. These road signs extended hundreds of miles. "

"Who is it as a road sign? Ai Erbai people?" Bai En puzzled.

"It is said that they are orcs, and I hope they won't get lost in the desert next time." Falheim said with a smile.

"Are those Pharaohs so confident?"

"Who knows?" Falheim took a sip of wine and put down his glass to continue. "But the news in other places is not so good. The well-informed princes at the border princes have run out, and most of them are now able to be guests in the Tirya city-states. The Tirya city-states also seem to be in contact with each other, Prepare to unite against the orcs. The slow princes are said to be hiding in the only dwarf fortress in the border princes, named Baraka-Var fortress, and humans are called Haimenguan. It is said that it is also only left. The city and other places are already occupied by orcs. "

"Where did the news come from?" Bai En asked.

"Yes, there are also places where most of the refugees who come to Fatalin Island. They brought a lot of news of chaos and conflict. Most of them can't tell the difference between true and false. Only certain parts of the orcs are attacking the Marnus Empire Southern Province ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Part of the orcs are heading to the great empire Gaitan, but it seems that most of the orcs are left on a large area south of the border princes. "

"most?"

"Yes, from the number of orcs going north, it is indeed. But why did they stay there, no one knows. Maybe they are planning something, maybe the land is enough for their lives, maybe they are preparing to establish a The kingdom of the orcs may even be killing each other. No one knows. But from the number of people fleeing, the orcs either do n’t care much about these refugees, or they do n’t have much control over it. For whatever reason, go north The number of orcs is very different from the number of orcs originally seen on the southern continent. "

"Perhaps the first people who saw the orcs exaggerated the number of orcs."

"Maybe, no one knows. Everyone thinks what they say is the truth. That's how it is."

"Okay, thank you for answering these questions for me. My current job is about these things ... Not much is known about these rumors." Bai En got up and was about to leave, and he also took Elisa to the doctor.

"It's okay," Falheim patted his hidden pocket again. "The things you brought to the association these two times are already of sufficient value. Even better than the association guys have studied for so long. Don't underestimate your help to the association." Falheim also stood up and walked away When he came to Bai En, he gave him a hug, and then took out a copper ball censer and stuffed it into Bai En's hands. "Hold this, and then take your girl ... that girl to see a doctor. Hope I can see you next time when I come back from Fatalin Island. Be careful, don't die."

"I will pay attention." Bai En smiled and patted Falheim's shoulder.
