Chapter 329: Holy weapon helps
After realizing that Herodotus might lead the Silver Moon Sect to extremes, Li Yu also made appropriate adjustments to his next development plan.
It is planned to expand the number of Black Dog Guards to 300 people.
It's not impossible to say more, but based on Li Yu's positioning of the Black Dog Guards, he hopes that this army can take the route of becoming more elite in the future.
The number of people should be as streamlined as possible, and the equipment should be as good as possible, coupled with some modern technology to provide protection for the order.
In this way, it is impossible not to make requirements when recruiting people.
Age, physique, skill (this can be improved through acquired training, but the minimum fighting talent is still required), courage, and the most important thing is that the mind must be loyal enough.
Not to mention being as fanatical as the lizard people, they must at least be able to unite closely around Li Yu and absolutely obey Li Yu's orders.
Putting these conditions in place, although Shuangxiu Sect now has more than 10,000 followers, it is not easy to get another 200 from them.
But Li Yu didn't want to lower his standards. After all, his job was to preach, not to carry out revolution and establish a new regime.
It would be a bit outrageous if there were more warriors in the Order than there were warriors.
In addition, spring plowing has begun now. With the full promotion of the Arias family and Shuangxiujiao, the farmers in Green Field have been working hard to reclaim wasteland for some time.
According to Miss Rabbit's preliminary statistics, the amount of farmland in her territory now is almost one-third more than last year.
Considering that there are many Pisiya believers in Luye, the believers of Shuangxiu Sect have obviously been fully mobilized, and they are full of confidence in the future.
Nowadays, the re-divided fields and ridges are full of people working hard with new farm tools in their hands.
Even Cavalier Pablo, who had been complaining that he didn't like anyone telling him what to do, now changed his mind and started using plows and columbines in his farm.
It's not that he doesn't want to save face, it's mainly that the new farm tools smell too good.
Seeing that the farms next door were all cultivating new fields, Knight Pablo finally couldn't sit still.
No one would complain that they have too much money, not to mention that the Arias family was so tight before, and the vassals below would certainly not be much better off.
As early as ten days ago, Pablo's two younger sons began to persuade their old father not to be stubborn and to believe in Saturday and the prophet Merlin. They also said that Saturday had blessed this land and everyone could just open up and plant. .
Pablo was distracted by their quarrel. It wasn't that he didn't want to believe Merlin, but it was just that thousands of years of tradition and inherent knowledge were not easy to break.
So I just decided to stay out of sight and out of mind, and went out hunting on horseback.
As a result, I passed other farms and saw farmers working in the fields.
Pablo stood aside and watched for a while, then compared the work efficiency of his serfs. He stopped hunting, turned around and went to Shuangxiujiao to buy new farm tools.
In short, agriculture in Greenfield is currently undergoing a revolution.
In addition, Herodotus and High Priest Martina obviously still regard each other as their biggest rivals and will not fight each other for a while. Li Yu still focuses on production.
But Clara still needs to be rescued. The little maid has been missing for almost a month and a half now, and Li Yu is becoming more and more worried about her.
Ever since Clara was kidnapped and Li Yu returned to the sect's residence, he always felt that something was missing and the red brick house was empty.
Later, Onunde sent his daughter Arvo over, and asked Arvo to take care of the [environmental frog] and listen to Li Yu's teachings at close range.
However, Li Yu was still not used to it, not because Alvo had taken his first blood.
After all, it had been a long time since Li Yu was stabbed to death, and Alvo now treated him with respect, just like he treated Saturday himself.
But Li Yu still missed those days when Clara was there, even if he saw the little maid fishing when he came back.
Li Yu had already called Tom and his party back from the south. Although Herodotus' family was indeed there, Li Yu learned from Adele that the connection between Herodotus and his family was not that close.
Moreover, Herodotus's family is not a famous family in the Western Region, and its power and influence are limited. Herodotus should not use the family's power to hide Clara.
Therefore, there is not much hope if we continue to search in the south.
Tom had made bold promises before leaving, but now he came back empty-handed and a little worried about his face. After listening to Li Yu's analysis, he directly asked for orders, "Then I will go to the Dorothy City to find Herodotus to ask for someone. ”
"The Figuerola family's mediation failed. High Priest Martina has already led an army of six thousand people to the Scaled City. Herodotus has no intention of surrendering and has been recruiting believers and training new troops. .
"I'm afraid they will have a battle under Duolin City." Li Yu said, "You are a warrior who has been suspended from teaching. Going to Duolin City at this time is not a good choice. There are already a large number of fanatical believers of Silver Moon Church gathered there. , no matter who wins in the end, they will not welcome people who take a break from teaching.”
"Then I will act as a mercenary." Tom said unconcernedly, "I will take off my bracelet before setting off, and keep the dwarf armor, dragon scale shield and other things that may reveal my identity. , as long as I don’t tell, no one will know where I come from.”
"In addition to the new army, Herodotus also holds a dark force in his hands. The black-armored cavalry we fought against that night should belong to the latter, and they must also be secretly protecting Herodotus. "Li Yu reminded Tom.
The latter shook his increasingly thick hair and looked embarrassed, "This is indeed a bit difficult to handle... Those guys are quite skilled, and everyone is a master."
"Forcing yourself is definitely not possible, and once they discover that you have entered the city, it is only a matter of time before you are found."
Li Yu continued, "So the best way is to rescue the people before Herodotus reacts. The key to this is to find out where Mary is being held. So, except for the three-eyed bird, , I will lend you a few more sacred objects.”
Tom was overjoyed when he heard this, "With the help of your holy vessel, Lord Prophet, I will definitely be able to bring Mary back intact this time."
After saying that, he saw Li Yu walking back into the house, and when he came out again, he had a box in his hand. It was filled with previously used bugs, surveillance cameras and the like.
Li Yu handed the box to Tom, and then taught him how to use it one by one. However, regarding the last sacred weapon, Li Yu did not take it out directly or tell Tom how to use it. He just asked him to bring one more person with him. (End of chapter)
