The Witcher: Son of the Planes.
Chapter 318 Preparations before the Battle
Colin returned to the surface without stopping, not caring about the price. He went shopping in the Griman Islands. Because he was "short of money", he went to the Bijini Merchant Alliance to ask Theresa for a loan. He did not even bother to say hello to Theresa. After promising to come back next time to reminisce about the past, he hurried to the shopping area.
Except for some necessary supplies, all the money Colin borrowed was used to purchase advanced mental power potions. After Colin left, the supply of advanced mental power potions in the Griman Islands did not resume normally until a month later.
After returning to Emerald Island, Colin couldn't wait for the squids to evolve naturally. Except for the five squids that had already been promoted, Colin and several women separately fed high-level mental power potions to the remaining quasi-level squids.
With the precise detection of the Earth, those who fail are left to fend for themselves and become cannon fodder on the battlefield. Before their aura of advancement stabilizes, they are taken into the alien dimension by Colin. He is worried that a large number of first-level creatures will be produced in the waters of Emerald Island, which will cause some bad chemical reactions. After all, Emerald Island is not a closed environment.
After five days of intense operations, Colin finally harvested more than sixty level one giant squids. After letting Alex take eight of them away to pay Snape, the next stage was for Colin to consider only the regular army.
Colin's Villiers family is a small family with a small business and cannot withstand too much trouble. Although there are some private armies on the Emerald Island, they cannot withstand the great consumption of the plane war. Although Helen has ordered a large number of marine slaves, it is the first expedition. In order to ensure success, Colin still hopes to bring some human troops. The last operation of the Victoria's Secret Magician Council made Colin worried, and the army is more regular.
Although the Cavendish family, Colin's in-laws, have a certain influence in the Earldom of Denton, the matter of mobilizing an army still requires a lot of benefits in exchange. It's not that Colin can't find the three duchies, but that Colin doesn't want to owe them too much favors.
Colin went to negotiate with the Caroline family in person, accompanied by Helen's uncle, the magician Joseph. He had inherited the title of the Cavendish family, but he preferred to be called the Master Magician.
The Caroline family, the royal family of the former Duchy of Denton (now downgraded to an earldom), has been passed down for three generations. The one in power now is Andy Caroline's grandson, Armani Caroline.
Armani had heard of this "legendary" figure in his country a long time ago, but had never been able to meet him. This time the other person came to him on his own initiative, and Armani did not act like a king, but started a conversation with him in a very friendly manner.
Although the Duchy of Denton was downgraded to a county, its original area and population did not decrease. On the contrary, because of the war more than a hundred years ago, it annexed nearly half of the territory of its neighboring County of Burgundy, and its area became larger and its population became larger.
In recent years, under the management of the former overlord state, the Duchy of Huiyao, there has been no war for more than a hundred years. After four or five generations of changes, the people of the former Earldom of Burgundy have been integrated into the Earldom of Denton. The last time the three duchies went on an expedition to the Centaur plane, they also dispatched a team of 2 people.
This time when Colin came, he talked about sending troops right away. After all, it was his hometown, so he would definitely support it. What's more, although Duke Colin did not have any substantial fiefdom, his strength was there. The entire royal family of the earldom did not have a second-level professional, and they did not want to make enemies with him.
Thus, the friendly negotiations between the two sides were completed. The Earldom of Denton agreed to send 30,000 troops to help Colin participate in the plane war, and Colin agreed to train 100 sons of the Earldom of Denton, including the royal family and the nobles of the royal capital, and promote them to the quasi-rank, but not limited to the quasi-rank.
What I mean is that although the Earldom of Denton can rely on the Principality of Huiyao and the Victoria's Secret Magician Council to train professionals, except for the children of the royal family itself and some noble children who are loyal to the royal family, most of them have been attracted away to the Principality of Huiyao and the Magician Council, and ultimately they are doing things for others.
(Just like the high-end institution in Colin's previous life, which recruited the best students in the country, but trained scientists from other countries, who eventually went abroad and never returned. That's basically what it means. So the Earl of Denton hopes to use Colin to train a professional system for the country, including but not limited to magicians, and can also train wizards and knights.)
As for the 30,000-strong army, no matter whether it is the royal family or the nobles, they can still afford these men and horses, so it doesn't matter even if they are all consumed.
Colin understood the nature of the nobles, and he took advantage of this to complete his family's first plane war. Although he had to train a hundred other professionals later, if they were included in the base number of the Emerald Academy, it would be like herding one sheep or a flock of sheep. Strictly speaking, it would not cost much, and both sides felt it was quite cost-effective.
The last step before the expedition has been completed. Colin has provided a lot of resources for Deborah's promotion. Under the detection of Earth, Deborah's mental power is infinitely close to 19.5, so there is no problem in promoting. Even if she cannot be promoted, Colin still has two ways to improve her mental power.
Before the expedition, Colin brought Deborah to the wizard tower, cast a ban on shielding detection, and released Rui Fan. Seeing this former uncle, Deborah couldn't help asking, "Did you kill my parents and the elders of the family?"
At this point, Rui Fan also figured it out. Deborah has found a backer. His family is finished. Even if he doesn't admit it, the other party will not let him go.
"Yes, you didn't see the tragic scene when your parents died. Even at the last moment of their death, they were still wondering why his brother Rui Fan wanted to harm them. It was so tragic, hahaha." Rui Fan laughed crazily.
"You, you have wasted our family's trust in you."
"Bullshit, why should I share it with others when I have the chance to keep it all to myself? This is the foundation for a family to rise. Unfortunately, we are weak and we missed the mark by one step. Now others have reaped the benefits. I hate it." After saying that, Rui Fan looked at Colin viciously. Although it was the first time he saw Colin, at this moment, he had already thought that the person behind Deborah must be the person in front of him.
(After being handed over to Colin by Snape, River stayed in a confined space and did not see Colin.)
Colin touched his nose and said nothing. The reason why he was kept until now was because of Deborah's consideration, otherwise he would have been killed directly at the beginning.
"Well, what about Toronto? Does he think so too? Is the relationship between him and I over the years so unreal?" Deborah asked unwillingly.
"Toronto? He died before me, and he is not in my hands now. Ask the person behind you where his body is now. As for what he thinks, I don't know. I can only say that he didn't know beforehand, and he didn't guess it afterwards. Now there is no way to verify it." Rui Fan thought of his beloved son, and couldn't help feeling sad, but the family reunion wouldn't be too far away, and he would go down to accompany him.
Colin almost forgot that Snape had specifically explained the identity of a corpse. If River hadn't mentioned it, Colin would have basically forgotten it. After hearing River mention it, he "took out" the corpse in Toronto.
Seeing her former lover and fiancé lying quietly on the ground, Deborah seemed to have lost all her strength. She slumped on the ground, staring at Toronto's body in a daze, and for a moment she forgot to continue talking to Rui Fan.
Colin didn't want to waste too much time, "Do you want to take care of this guy or should I take care of him?"
Deborah waved her hands unconsciously, and Colin did not hesitate. After killing River with a dimensional slash, he packed it up again and looked for a chance to sell it to the black wizard. After all, it was the corpse of a first-level wizard and it was still useful.
As for Toronto, I'll leave it to Deborah.
After Deborah's grief lasted for a while, she came to her senses, picked up Toronto's body, and left the wizard tower. Later, it was said that she threw it into the nearby sea as a burial at sea.
Colin no longer cared about Deborah. He had basically done what he had promised her. After arranging some matters for the law enforcement team, he started the Villiers family's first plane expedition.
