Chapter 463: 461: Great Increase in Strength (Two Chapters in One)
In the study of Lion Manor, Luo Yi was looking through the documents in his hand.
The first one is Silas, the King of Fury, a fourth-level berserker. His weapon is a bullhorn battle axe and he is good at throwing.
Throwing weapons include throwing axes, spears, javelins, stones, etc.
But when the real battle begins, his whole body is covered with weapons, including claws, fangs, head, and knees, all of which can kill people.
It can be said that he is the most traditional berserker, with a primitive fighting style that is incompatible with the modern battlefield.
Sometimes, primitive means backwardness; but if it can be achieved to the extreme, primitive also means inhuman strength.
For most Berserkers, it is considered a blessing to be able to master "Frenzy", such as the leader of the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group, Sike Francis.
But this person, relying on the extreme training of his physique and unique blood inheritance, mastered the second level of 'autonomous frenzy' when he was extraordinary, and when he reached the fourth level, he even mastered the third level of 'bloody frenzy'.
One level of berserker can make a berserker stand tall on the battlefield, terrifying to behold.
One can only imagine how ferocious the rage would be after the triple stacking!
It can be said that he is a madman that no powerful natural disaster warrior wants to encounter. The title of "King of Fury" is well deserved!
It is worth mentioning that he came from the destroyed Carolingian Kingdom and originally lived in a forest. He had reached a cooperative relationship with the Carolingian royal family.
One provides cultivation resources, the other provides protection, and both take action at critical moments. The cooperation between the two sides is quite pleasant.
Unfortunately, when he returned from a hunt deep in the forest, the Carolingian Kingdom had already disappeared.
Although he is a berserker, he is not stupid. Moreover, he and the Carolingian royal family have a cooperative relationship, each taking what they need, and there is no deep relationship between them.
Of course, there is no question of revenge.
But he could no longer stay where he originally was, and then he wandered around.
Although he has never suffered any loss due to his strength, he has encountered many schemes due to his lack of understanding of the ways of the world!
The reason why he came to apply for the job at Xianhua was actually related to Captain Xike.
Either because the two of them were familiar with each other, or because he happened to hear that Captain Xike was also a Berserker, he came to him.
Moreover, he didn't go to the Lion Manor to register, but blocked Xike in the street, which made Xike confused.
However, in the end, the person was sent to Luo Yi.
This guy is suitable in every way, and the salary he requires is not high. Give him a large enough forest and enough resources for the Berserker's training.
It can be said that raising him is very cheap, and the only drawback is that he is wild and difficult to tame!
It's not easy to subdue him and make him obey.
The Carolingian Kingdom hadn't done that, but Roy enjoyed the challenge.
So, on the ruins of the Lion Castle, Loy would fight with him every day.
It must be said that this furious king Silas is really tenacious. Although he is defeated in every battle, he can regroup and continue fighting to the death the next day.
The triple frenzy, although the combat power increased greatly, made him furious and fought endlessly, but he also lost his mind.
However, under Loyi's attack, the tortured man was able to regain his sanity, which shows how brutal the fight was.
Even so, Roy gave him the best treatment.
All kinds of magic and potions were used to ensure that he would be full of energy and fighting spirit the next day.
This guy is quite stubborn and just refuses to admit defeat.
Luo Yi was also happy to use him as a test subject, trying out various fighting skills in different ways.
He is much more useful than the half-giant Bane.
They fought endlessly every day, which scared the later comers.
Anyone who can create a fourth-order natural disaster is proud and conceited. Before coming, they all held their heads high and looked defiant.
Then, they would all see Roy and Silas’ warm-up match in the examination hall, which was the ruins of the old castle.
The earth cracked, the sky trembled, the light of fighting spirit tore through the void, and the holy fire burned everything...
It felt like two legends fighting each other!
The result was the same: Silas, the King of Rage, was taken away on a stretcher for treatment.
Luo Yi, on the other hand, faced the next applicant calmly.
Then, these applicants all looked troubled, and could not even display 80% of their full potential.
At this moment, they had to admit that anyone who could build such a huge foundation and keep it could not be an incompetent person.
For the first time, Luo Yi's reputation spread among the circle of the strong.
The second one is the faceless killer Ulysses, a fourth-level shadow assassin and a first-level magic gunner.
He is good at assassination, eavesdropping, stealth and disguise, walking in the dark, and specializes in dealing with all kinds of shady matters.
He was not a rootless duckweed, but was cultivated with all his efforts by the Morris family of the Kingdom of Sardinia.
Basically, all nobles have some shady businesses or things that cannot be put on the table, which provides room for assassins to survive.
Originally, Ulysses lived a comfortable life. Although he was just a knife, he still had the status of a powerful natural disaster. He had a wife and children, and he lived a carefree life.
But the family he served was considered the most traditional noble family. They took pride in their antiquity and firmly opposed the development and promotion of the magic industry.
He even questioned the decision of the Queen of Sardinia, thinking that the Bonaparte Empire had not gone to war with the Kingdom of Sardinia, so why should it get involved?
Why waste so much manpower and resources?
This statement is somewhat taken for granted.
However, there is a saying that goes, "You don't feel the pain until you get slapped in the face!" He is a typical example of this.
Then, Grand Duke Morik became the leader of the conservatives and the biggest obstacle to the development of the magic industry in the Kingdom of Sardinia.
As a result, just look at the faceless killer Ulysses' job application at the Flower Collar, and you will know!
The Sardinian royal family displayed swift and swift action. With a single command from the Queen, the Morik family was wiped out like a pack of wolves devouring a tiger.
Nowadays, even the territories and surnames have been divided up, and various businesses have new owners.
Then, the faceless killer Ulysses traveled to many places and finally came to Flowers to apply for a job.
To be honest, Luo Yi doesn't like or trust people who make killing their profession.
However, he came with a family of five. His young wife was born into a noble family. She was beautiful and gentle. They also had three children, the oldest of whom was ten years old.
In other words, he came with hostages.
In addition, he also controlled the remaining intelligence network of the Morik family, which, centered in the Kingdom of Sardinia, radiated almost all of the Bonaparte Empire, the Habsburg Empire, the Tudor Dynasty, and the Glorious Empire of the New World...
These deeply hidden spies will continuously bring in information. Even if most of the information is not secret, it can still give us a grasp of the overall situation.
There is no doubt that this is extremely valuable, but it is not easy to maintain this intelligence network.
The reason why he found Luo Yi was because Luo Yi was rich and had risen to prominence in a short time, so he definitely needed this intelligence network.
This is indeed the case, Luo Yi was moved!
Of course, a warning is still necessary.
The faceless killer Ulysses is very powerful. He has mastered the 'Shadow Shuttle' to perfection and can appear in almost any corner silently and without any delay.
This ability to hide and travel was what countless assassins sought after, but Luo Yi locked onto his position with just a slight movement of his ears.
Then, no matter how he dodged, the tip of Luo Yi's sword was on his neck.
At this point, the faceless killer Ulysses chose to surrender.
The third one is the Ice Hunter Jude Stephens, a fourth-level Scourge Demon Hunter from the Slavic Empire.
The profession of demon hunter is quite special. It is a special profession developed in ancient times when humans and gods coexisted and demons were rampant. It has the characteristics of both warriors and mages.
They can kill enemies with swordsmanship, and also master some less powerful but instantaneous sigils.
After thousands of years of refinement, his fighting style has achieved the unity of the two, with swordsmanship in the right hand and hand seals in the left hand, alternating between the two, and his fighting power is quite impressive.
This profession is responsible for hunting evil creatures, and they almost roam all over the continent and grow in battle.
However, in the final analysis, they are just paperhangers, patching things up but not solving the fundamental problem.
Until the Sun God unified the Old World and started a war to expel alien races, the evil creatures either died or fled.
By now, there are not many left, so there is naturally no need for demon hunters to exist.
This is a profession that has almost been eliminated.
Only the Slavic Empire, which is a typical country with vast land and sparse population, has a demand for witchers.
Of course, today's demon hunters have also changed. They often reach an agreement with local lords to protect an area.
If there are evil creatures appearing, they will deal with them, and then the lords will pay them enough.
Unfortunately, Jude Stephens discovered some unknown secrets while slaying a certain evil banshee.
A certain Grand Duke was actually an evil wizard who took pleasure in summoning demons and various evil creatures to wreak havoc, and he sacrificed many babies and pure girls for this purpose.
As a result, Jude killed the Grand Duke, but was also subjected to endless pursuit.
So, he went to Flower Territory to seek refuge.
He could work for Roy, and the only requirement was that Roy protect his school.
That's right, he actually has a small school of demon hunters under his command, which is one of the rare demon hunter inheritances in the Old World.
Fourth is the mechanical monster Nehemiah von Braun, a fourth-level mechanical wizard, an outstanding graduate of the Imperial Royal Academy, and once a rising star in the field of magical machinery.
However, the reason why he is called "Mechanical Monster" is because his research direction is really different from others!
While other mechanical mages were shining in the fields of industry or weapons, he insisted on combining machines with the human body and replacing the human body with machines.
This research direction is considered unorthodox even in the empire.
The Doctrine of the Seven considers suicide a sin, and it is even more impossible to allow the voluntary use of mechanical replacements for limbs.
Of course, the reason why this person came to Xianhualing to apply for a job had nothing to do with his research direction, but was a victim of political struggle.
The top leaders of the empire actually admitted that the "Schlieffen Plan" had failed. It failed to achieve the expected goals and was dragged into a protracted war, which was also a huge burden on the empire.
So, external publicity is one thing, but internal accountability is still necessary.
Marshal Moltke the Younger became the scapegoat. Well, actually, it cannot be said to be a scapegoat, he had to bear most of the responsibility.
It was he who failed to withstand the pressure from the nobles and withdrew two armies from the Western Front, resulting in insufficient troops on the Western Front.
It was also he who changed the encirclement intention at a critical moment and even chose to retreat in several important battles.
Although there were frequent reports of victory, no substantial results were achieved. The city of Lutetia was never truly captured from beginning to end.
As a result, Moltke the Younger was removed from his post as marshal and subjected to internal punishment.
And the fact that he has reached this height represents not only himself, but also a series of forces behind him, all of which have suffered various forms of suppression.
This is not even subject to human will, but a manifestation of political struggle.
Nehemiah von Braun, who was actually from the same line as Field Marshal Moltke the Younger, was also targeted.
His research project was stopped, the funding allocated by the empire was gone, and an inspection team moved in to check his expenses and income.
This made Nehemiah von Braun quite unhappy.
Of course, as a Scourge Mage, and a Mechanical Mage at that, he still has a choice.
For example, if he turns to other magic factions, he can reopen his subject with just a word.
But, people always have tempers!
You can stop my research project at will and start it at will. Where is my face?
The pride of natural disasters made Nehemiah von Braun unwilling to bow his head, and then, he waved his hand and chose to change jobs directly!
In fact, if he went to other countries, such as the Kingdom of Sardinia or the Slavic Empire, he would be treated as a "national hero".
After all, mechanical mages are very popular now and are very important for industrial development.
But as an imperial citizen, he was unwilling to bow his head, nor to serve his enemies. As a result, the flower collar became his first choice.
Of course, the two brand new wizard towers that have been erected in Xianhua Territory and have no owners yet are also one of the important reasons.
To be honest, Roy didn't quite agree with his research direction. If he became disabled, he could still accept getting a mechanical prosthesis.
But he felt a little crazy about the active removal of limbs and organs and replacements.
Cyberpunk is not the style of this book, but the problem is that he really needs such a natural disaster mechanical wizard.
His only stubbornness was that he refused to provide living subjects for experiments, even if they were death row prisoners offered flowers.
Of course, he doesn't care about anything other than flowers.
Fifth, the great alchemist Benito Floyd, a fourth-level calamity mage and classical alchemist.
He is not good at fighting, but refining various types of magic props is his main job.
Looking at his last name, 'Floyd', it is obvious that he comes from the Floyd family, one of the four great marquises of Normandy.
The reason why he came here was actually arranged by old Marquis Floyd.
When Loy posted the recruitment notice, naturally, the first to get the news were the major families of the Norman Duchy.
With the precedent of the half-giant Bane as a lesson, the first thing almost all families would do is to lock down their own powerful Scourge out of interests and emotions.
They were also afraid of losing talent, but only old Marquis Floyd saw the opportunity.
He took the initiative to communicate with Luo Yi, wanting to send a powerful natural disaster warrior to serve Luo Yi.
In exchange, they received greater support from Loy for their magic energy industry.
With the current size of the flower company, as long as it receives more orders, or provides some relatively advanced technology, or even sends some technicians to stay on site, it can bring huge benefits and income.
These are all wealth! They are resources!
For the Floyd family, whose situation was not much better than poverty, this was a fundamental solution to the problem.
In comparison, a powerful natural disaster is nothing!
Therefore, the old Marquis Floyd placed all his powerful natural disaster warriors in front of Loy.
They will appoint whoever they like, and they will never interfere with the people sent to them, and they will definitely serve them well.
If there is a problem with loyalty, the Floyd family will even cover the after-sales service, which is definitely safer than hiring people from outside who have unknown backgrounds.
Now that old Marquis Floyd has said so much, what else can Roy say?
Just agree!
However, he did not choose those who could fight, but chose this great alchemist!
Although the magic machinery calls itself a system, it has shown a strong momentum of development and has become a trendsetter of the times.
However, it would be an exaggeration to say that traditional alchemy has become useless and has no merit.
The magic energy industry mainly has advantages in large-scale production and popularization, which can greatly reduce production costs.
But when it comes to ingenuity and the utilization of material properties, we have to look to classical alchemy.
Flower Territory is now considered a gathering place for transactions between the Empire, the Allied Forces and the Undersea Tripartite. There are all kinds of rare and exotic materials, as well as fine products.
If there were a great alchemist here, various magical props could be produced and sold by ourselves.
As for whether this Benito Floyd will work seriously?
In the city of New Brussels, there is still a wizard tower without an owner!
In the end, Loy gave the Floyd family the support they wanted, and even transferred a bullet production line and some production technology of small processing machinery.
For this reason, Grand Duchess Aphra directly opened the magic mirror and complained that her nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes.
Even his cheap brother Dean Norman wrote a letter to ask him what he had done?
Grand Duchess Aphra had been wearing a stern face for several days, and even he didn't dare to speak loudly in the White Castle for fear of being scolded.
What can I do?
Luo Yi quickly dispatched another bullet production line and sent a number of technicians to appease the mother.
…
In the study, Luo Yi carefully read through the documents in his hand, screening, comparing, and thinking one by one...
In fact, there are quite a few powerful natural disaster warriors who have come to apply for the job these days.
The war between the Empire and the Allied Forces affected the order of the entire Old Continent. Coupled with the promotion of the magic industry, the impact was enormous.
Even a natural disaster, as powerful as it is, is powerless against the tide of the times.
As a result, the number of people who are "unemployed" is far greater than imagined.
Moreover, it is easier for ordinary people to find a job when they lose their jobs, but it is not easy for executives to find a job with the same income.
There are even some dark warriors among them.
For example, there was a Ghost Rider who came directly to the door.
There was also a dragon lich who used the dream-entering technique, hoping to meet Luo Yi in an unconventional way, showing off his abilities while ensuring his own safety.
As a result, Luo Yi blocked him at the door and he was almost scared to death.
What left Roy speechless the most was that a fallen paladin appeared at his door and handed him an invitation in the name of a visit.
He wanted to invite Luo Yi to join the Glory Society, which was said to be an organization within the Vatican.
They believe that the current Holy See has deviated from the direction guided by the Lord of Light and needs to be corrected!
As an ancient Knight Templar, Loy is qualified to join.
As long as Luo Yi nods, the Glory Society will be responsible for the safety of Flower Territory from now on, and will ensure that no one dares to invade.
To be honest, Luo Yi couldn't describe his expression at that time. He just felt like he was screwed.
A fallen paladin comes and opens his mouth, and wants to take away his flower collar?
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Besides, I have never heard of the Glory Society!
Even if there is, it's just a cancer. Will he care?
Luo Yi rarely gets angry anymore, but this time, he was really angry and launched a "Sunburst", beating the fallen paladin half to death, and then handed him over to the red dragon Virgil.
He then wrote a stern letter to His Holiness Cardinal St. John Stuart.
He doesn't need to worry about what happens next, someone will take care of it naturally.
In February of the 314th year of the New God Calendar, Luo Yi spent a lot of energy to select these five natural disasters.
Adding the six people who already have flower collars, even without counting Luo Yi, there are a total of eleven.
It is hard to say that the Grand Duke's family background is so strong. Not to mention those far away, the Norman family cannot produce so many powerful people.
As for those who were not selected, Luo Yi treated them to good food and wine and also gave them a very considerable amount of travel expenses.
Recruiting?
It’s a two-way choice!
Even though some people felt uncomfortable, no one dared to act presumptuously after seeing Luo Yi's strength.
As for the third level under the natural disaster, there are actually more of them. Luo Yi also left ten people based on the strength and needs of the Flower Territory.
Then, it is time to make specific arrangements for these strong men.
Before, it would have been fine if there were no conditions, these strong men would be sent wherever they were needed!
Now that we have enough people, we naturally have to assign tasks.
For example, Roy sent Silas, the King of Rage, to the north, to the Griffin Town in the Dome Mountains.
In the future, he will be in charge there, responsible for the safety of the mine and transportation.
Although there is the Cullen family and there are also agreements to constrain us, it is still better to do our own things by ourselves, and we cannot rely on outsiders after all.
Then there is the great alchemist Benito Floyd, who will go to Siren Harbor and take charge of the original wizard tower, replacing the half-giant Bane.
The half-giant Bane will go to the east of Flower Territory and take charge of Frostmoon Canyon.
The reason for this arrangement is that only magicians can bring out the effect of the magician tower.
Moreover, it is a distribution center for various magical materials, where one can access first-hand resources.
As for Ms. Palacios, she was in charge of a wizard tower in New Brussels, and another was given to the mechanical freak Nehemiah von Braun.
The faceless killer Ulysses was arranged by Roy to be next to Angel.
In the future, Ang will gradually take over the Morris family's intelligence network and invest a lot of money to maintain and expand it.
Intelligence is always the most important component of a war, whether it is a business war or a real battle.
The Flame Sword Saint Otto and the Iron Knight Phil, who were deeply trusted by Loy, were stationed in the most important secret vault.
And the guardian Oliveira followed Loy.
In terms of strength, Luo Yi actually doesn't need it. However, whether you need it or not is one thing, and whether you have it or not is another.
Finally, there are arrangements for those third-level extraordinary strongmen.
He also sorted out the flower collars that were originally given, and then arranged them into different departments based on their individual characteristics.
Intelligence, security, railways, factories, mining, military...
This time, there were also enough people involved, and all aspects were involved. Luo Yi did not need them to take over the work immediately, but asked them to keep the situation under control.
Starting from this month, Flower Leader also has its own rules. Without sufficient strength, it is actually impossible to reach the corresponding position.
Strength is the foundation no matter where you go!
Time passed in a flash in the busy life. February was over and Xianhualing had completed some of its restructuring. Many people took up their posts and its strength increased greatly!
The war that had been silent for a long time had changed again!
