During this period, Link did not do anything, but seized the time to recruit new recruits and train new recruits.

Both of these things went smoothly because the treatment of recruits in the Marquis of Link Raphael's territory has been greatly improved, and many adult non-first sons in the territory have chosen to join the army and eat meat.

The second is to pull people among adventurers. People who are pulled back from adventurers already have certain combat skills. As long as you have three months to train your discipline and queues, you can basically go to the battlefield to fight.

However, it is not possible to pull people from adventurers to pull them up just by trying to pull them. It is an indisputable fact that soldiers earn less than adventurers. Therefore, if they are not given official positions, they will have to pay a settlement fee.

Fortunately, the territory of Marquis Raphael is not short of money. Although the rubies from the Red Mountain Fortress were exchanged for supplies, the monthly output of 200,000 pounds of saltpeter can bring the territory 7,200 gold coins per month.

Moreover, the only thing limits the output of saltpeter in Baishan Fortress is the transportation speed of the caravans. In the past, these caravans transported 100,000 pounds of saltpeter a month, which was not very busy. Now, they transported 200,000 pounds of saltpeter a month, so they are so busy that they are busy. This is the result of the caravans increasing the transportation volume.

What the outside world doesn't know is that Alice's chamber of commerce will also use Alice's space equipment to transport 100,000 pounds of saltpeter every month from the Marquis of Link Raphael's territory. This adds up to more than 10,000 pounds per month.

However, most of the businesses of Link and Alice's house are bartered, such as iron plows, iron ingots, lead blocks, and sulfur salt, which are imported from Alice's house's chamber of commerce.

This is just a bulk cargo, and the gap is filled by Alice's family with gold and silver coins or a small amount of luxury goods.

Simply put, the Raphael family now has money to recruit people.

The plan to recruit and train recruits began when Link went to investigate the Demon Ant Tide. Now the army in the Marquis of Raphael's territory has expanded from less than 5,000 people when Link succeeded to 12,000 people today. Three thousand of them are still trained in recruits in the recruit camp. In this way, the troops that can be fought have increased to 9,000 people.

Among these nine thousand troops, four thousand are dwarf musketeers, which is entirely because dwarf musketeers are easy to train and have great power. Three enchanted dwarf musketeers will be used to fight three rounds in the last battle. The power is still very impressive. Three dwarf musketes will be reloaded for about five minutes, and can be used to fight three rounds in five minutes.

As for the three thousand people in the recruit training camp, they are all dwarf musketeers. The training of dwarf musketeers is much simpler than that of spearmen, swords, shields, and archers. You can get on the battlefield in half a year if you are anxious.

There are quite a few launching drugs consumed by so many dwarf musketeers every day in training, which is why Link imported sulfur from Alice.

A troop of 12,000 people is more in line with the strength of a marquis with mines.

The old neighbor of the Marquis of Raphael, Duke Gattuso, also had a mine in the territory of the territory of the Duke of Gattuso, with a permanent military force of 30,000. This time, a large number of recruits were also carried out. Including the 8,000 new recruits in the recruit training camp, there were only 45,000.

You should know that the population of the Duke's territory is several times that of the Marquis. It is no surprise that the new recruits recruited in the Duke's territory have more troops than the Marquis' territory.

As time entered the spring March of the 996th year of the new calendar, at the invitation of his in-laws Earl Adams, Duke Gattuso sent troops to the territory of Count Adams, the Earl of the Holy Empire, to clear the local demon ant tide.

Because after entering key defense operations, the human army could no longer completely stop the raging of the demon ant tide.

Although the natural passage has not yet appeared in the territory of the Holy Empire, the remaining territory of the Murphy Kingdom has completely fallen except for four major military camps.

In addition to fighting with the human army in the four major military camps every day, the rest were scattered to hunt. Along the way, there was no grass left. Even the monsters of all races that had plagued Count Adams' territory for many years were wiped out, and the demon ant wave also followed the road to Count Adams' territory.

After Earl Adams knew that the Demon Ant Tide broke out in the Kingdom of Murphy, not far from his doorstep, he also carried out recruitment work, and the effect was good. He increased the 1,200 troops in the territory to 2,000 people.

However, this number is not enough for the thousands of demon ants that flock to the sky at any time. Although Earl Adams still has hundreds of adventurers under his command, no matter two thousand or two thousand five hundred, facing the demon ants tide is still a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, the eldest son of Earl Adams married the eldest daughter of his neighbor, Duke Gattuso, and the ancestors of the two families also had in-laws. They can be considered real relatives. Moreover, once the territory of Earl Adams fell, even if the territory of Duke Gattuso was in the territory of Duke Gattuso, Duke Gattuso naturally sent troops to rescue his old family in order to defend the enemy from the country.

Link is very busy, Link's eldest wife Alan is very busy, and Link's second wife Ada is also very busy.

This is a portrayal of the territory of the Marquis of Link in the 996th year of the new calendar. As the wave of demon ants entered the holy empire, people naturally could leave with the caravan. Those monsters would not be so convenient. The monsters were not stupid. After several battles with the demon ants, they knew that they were not opponents, so they had to retreat backwards from the grassland and the forest.

Part of them passed through the Duke of Gattuso and entered the Marquis of Raphael.

Now, Link and his two wives each lead three thousand - five hundred sword shield soldiers, five hundred spear soldiers, and two thousand dwarf musketeers to wipe out the tide of monsters entering the territory. This time, the tide of monsters was forced by the tide of demon ants, and it is also part of the tide of demon ants. However, the main body is not the tide of demon ants but the migrating tide of monsters.

By March of the 996th year of the new calendar, the territory of the Marquis of Link Raphael had 21,000 regular troops. Among them, 4,000 were trained in the military camp. Two thousand were stationed at Hongshan Fortress, which was completely unmovable, and these two thousand were all veterans. One thousand were stationed at Baishan Fortress. The two strongholds between Baishan Fortress and Hongtu City, each had 500 regular troops stationed.

In addition to the 4,000 new recruits who are undergoing training for recruits in Hongtu City, there are also a thousand veterans. Although there are fewer veterans in Hongtu City, Lucy, a homegirl's great magician who is unwilling to go out, is stationed in Hongtu City. A legendary strong man and the identity of a great magician are enough to block all peeps.

This time, the tide of strangling the monsters is for the safety of the territory, and the second is that it is March of spring, which is the highest grain price on the market. Although there is no grain on the market in summer, the summer listing of fruits and vegetables will cause the grain price to drop slightly.
