Chapter 507: Two Mage Towers
After hearing Li Wei's words, although the expression on He Yibo's face did not change, his no longer calm eyes were enough to explain everything. No one wanted to fall into Deathly Silence and just die like this; he only had sixty or seventy years of Lifespan left.
Immediately, he respectfully saluted Li Wei and loudly accepted the order. Then, he spoke to Li Wei in a deep voice, "Lord, your subordinate is bold enough to have two requests. Please approve them, My Lord."
"Speak!"
"First, I know there must be master Blacksmiths in our army, so I want to forge twenty Troop Carriers and fifty Shield Carts, and five Ballistas should be installed on each Troop Carrier. In addition, an Auxiliary Heavy Engineering Battalion should be established separately within the Ice Legion, requiring at least one hundred Artisans, two hundred laborers, fifty cooks, one accountant, and two Battlemages. Among these, the Troop Carriers and Shield Carts should be prioritized for forging; this is more important than the soldiers' Armor and Weapons."
"This is because large-scale wars between Transcendents are almost a one-sided massacre for soldiers with lower Profession Levels. Without sufficient protection, it's better to stay home and farm."
"Of course, the cavalry's needs are higher than the infantry's. Please have our army's Blacksmiths replenish the cavalry's Armor and Weapons first; the Ice Legion can wait in line."
"Approved!"
Li Wei nodded and agreed to this request. He had also witnessed the siege and defense battle of Kahndorf Fortress, which was truly an infantry meat grinder.
"Thank you, Lord!" He Yibo bowed respectfully in thanks, then raised his voice again, "Second, I have just arrived at this Ascension Continent and am unaware of the external situational changes. But I want to earnestly request the Lord to allow the Ice Legion to rest and reorganize for three months. Even if there are combat missions, please allow the four brigades of the Ice Legion to take turns fighting. Because of the lack of high-quality food over the past century, all the soldiers' strength has dropped drastically, and it is very difficult to fight again. But I have no problem; I am willing to follow you, My Lord, and enter battle at any time."
