Slowly thinking back on the data I mentioned, everyone present, except for a few reckless people, was deeply shocked. After all, in this world, except for those city defense troops with simple equipment and no major logistics problems, it is not easy for almost all troops to set out.
From the pre-war mobilization, the integration of soldiers, the preparation of logistics, weapons and food, to the planning of marching routes before the troops go out, and then the consideration of combat plans, attacks and emergency plans, none of these things can be completed in a short time.
However, I, based on what I knew, established a special staff department within the division. I stuffed a large number of strange people into it, from travelers, merchants, thieves, hunters, captured and reformed bandit leaders, skilled craftsmen, magicians with excellent magic skills, and military talents who were very proficient in marching and fighting but were marginalized. I organized a whole squadron.
In the meantime, I assigned those travelers, thieves and merchants to various parts of the Western Continent in the past six months to collect and draw maps of almost all places. Combined with the geographical knowledge that I had almost forgotten in school, a map that almost covers the entire Western Continent has appeared in my division headquarters and is still being improved.
The hunters, bandits and military talents began to study the combat methods in various environments, from desert warfare, plain warfare, siege warfare, mountain warfare, forest stations, etc., and the targets also included all the arms in the world, including magician troops.
In addition, thieves, hunters, etc., with the help of those craftsmen, have conducted extensive research on various traps and fortifications, and these are all studied based on various environments and local materials.
For those strange things I made, except for those researchers who know a little about the situation within their respective scope, I issued the most stringent gag order on these materials. In addition to asking everyone to supervise each other, I also restricted the personal freedom of most people here. After all, most of these people were dragged back from prison or guillotine. Now as long as they can keep a small life and guarantee their lives, I think they should burn incense and pray to Buddha. As for those whose personal freedom I cannot restrict, I let Thacker help me to strictly monitor them. But when Thacker sent me to Roger, I learned that Roger was actually the deputy in the shadow of Duke Shalo. Naturally, all the work was thrown to Roger.
Now, my army has a total of more than 11,000 people, including 10,000 regular combat troops, each carrying 2 war horses, 1 modified longbow and a powerful crossbow with 4 bowstrings that can load 4 crossbow arrows at a time. In addition to carrying 160 crossbow arrows and 120 special long arrows, each person also carries 20 days of rations.
In addition, I also have a logistics supply team of 800 people. They carry a large number of crossbows, special long arrows and some of my special gadgets. But their other equipment is consistent with that of regular troops. In the final analysis, they are regular longbow soldiers in the name of transport soldiers.
In addition, my ultimate combat force is a team of 200 people who are all above the level of foundation swordsman. In addition to protecting me, they are also used as snipers. Although they are not as strong as the Thackers, and do not have the eyesight and sharpness against bows and arrows like the elves, I can guarantee that within a range of about 800 meters, no one can escape their intensive attack safely. And they are also my secret weapon to deal with magicians.
After less than an hour of meeting, we immediately received clear instructions from Thacker to complete all preparations within 5 days and set out for Andrel. And I, as the vanguard, will rush to Red Moon City under the leadership of Pavel, where the three main legions of the Empire stationed in the Western Territory are stationed, and the Flame Legion will meet there.
"Hanlong, please walk slowly..." After the meeting, Sack stopped me when I was about to leave with other division commanders.
"Hanlong, in addition to the Flame Legion, there are also the Fire Lion Legion and the Fire Phoenix Legion going on this expedition. Also accompanying them are Magister Carlo and his magician troop. Since you are not very familiar with the factions of the various military units, I would like to greet you first to avoid any disadvantages later.
The Fire Phoenix Corps is led by the daughter of the Imperial Minister of Education. She and her old man are both middle factions. They don't buy into our three forces. At any time, they think that the three of us should coexist peacefully and understand each other, which is simply impossible. In addition, the Fire Phoenix Corps is closer to your division in terms of military organization. It is a fast harassing force with archers as the main force and light cavalry as the auxiliary force.
In addition, the Fire Lion Legion is a heavy division under the military. They have 2 heavy cavalry divisions and 2 heavy infantry divisions, and also a light cavalry division as an auxiliary. This time, due to the expansion of my army, they also added a horse archer division.
In addition, I think you are already familiar with Lord Carlo and his fire magician troop. In the past six months, you have frequently gone to Carlo's base to extort money. It is said that except for the dark and earth magicians in his troop, all want to run away when they see you. But to be honest, it's okay for you to extort those magicians and ask them to infuse magic power into your magic crystal, but don't waste your two elves and ask them to make magic scrolls every day. You've come up with such a plan... "
Speaking of Carlo's magician army, Thacker smiled bitterly. But it makes sense. Who knows that my two elves hide in the room every day and provide me with thousands of magic scrolls every month. In the eyes of ordinary people, Yaruo and Yunyue can only make magic scrolls day and night under my pressure. But who knows that in fact, the average time they spend making magic scrolls every day is less than 2 hours, and most of the magic scrolls are preserved.
"Sir, I will pay attention to the matter of magic scrolls in the future. But I think you asked me to stay not only to explain the situation of the two legions to me, right?" I will never tell you the secret of making magic scrolls. This is almost my trump card now. I said this verbally, but in fact I have made up my mind to sign more elves and increase the production speed of magic scrolls. When the number of magic scrolls reaches a certain value, then I may be able to form a new magician army myself.
