"Joe, have you recovered yet?"
As soon as he entered the camp of the Chaser Legion, Lorist saw the shirtless Josk fiddling with his green longbow for recovery archery training. He was sweating profusely, which showed that Josk had been practicing for a while.
Seeing the arrival of Lorist and others. Josk hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, I'm almost recovered. I've been lying down for three months and my body is almost moldy, so I just resumed my practice these two days."
"Then you should also pay attention to your health. You should understand that you are recovering from the injury." Lorist dismounted and threw the reins to Genorio: "Get to know the golden archer of our family, Baron Josk. This is Genorio, my new squire."
Josk took a linen towel and wiped the sweat off his body, and nodded to Genorio as a greeting: "Where's Schwader?"
"It takes two years to practice in closed doors, just like Reddy did back then," Lorist said.
Then Josk saw El: "Hey, El..."
Go over and give him a hug.
Lorist smiled and said, "Joe, this time El is going to serve as the deputy commander and part-time commander of the Chasseurs, and you will be in charge from now on. Seeing that you have a good relationship, I feel more at ease."
Josk was very happy: "Great, I was worried that Yuri was lying down and no one would help me. It's great news that El can come."
"How is Yuri recovering?" Lorist asked.
"The pharmacist said that the internal and external injuries are recovering very well, but he will need more than a year to re-train his fighting spirit." Josk replied.
Lorist nodded: "I'm going to send him to Roaring Bear City for treatment by my side, maybe I can help him speed up his cultivation. By the way, Josk, your Chaser Legion is fully staffed this time." Bar."
Josk hesitated: "I'm not sure about this. You know that Knight Vasinma is responsible for these things, and I haven't asked much about them. But seeing the people coming and going in the camp, I think it should be full of stories." .”
"Well, apart from the 3,500 new recruits recruited from our family's territory, there are also 10,000 recruits selected from the Guards Corps this time. The remaining 30,000 are ex-Made The elite cavalry of the Principality of Las. I am also relieved that you have recovered, and I will give you half a year to train hard, and you will march into Muyeyuan Province in the spring of next year."
Josk was overjoyed: "Your Highness, we will send troops to Makinohara Province next year. Do we want to take revenge on the Fesabrun family?"
Lorist shook his head: "Joe, maybe you will be disappointed, but our four Northland alliances have already initialed the truce agreement with the Fessabrun family, and now we need to wait for the Grand Duke Fessabrun to decide on the truce deadline and pass the agreement back to us. The signing is established. The reason for marching into Makinohara Province next year is because we forced the Fesabrunn family to cede most of the province in the armistice agreement. With the Sochus River as the boundary, we actually fought and shed blood from the Chasseur Legion. The site is coming back... "
Josk was silent, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, we are incompetent. We lost a big battle and made the family ashamed of us..."
Lorist picked up Josk's clothes hanging on the wooden pillar next to him and draped them over his body, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's none of your business. The Border Rangers fled in embarrassment, which was already a surprise to us. The subsequent defeat was caused by that old fox, Archduke Fesabrunn, who tricked and recruited more than 100,000 barbarians to ambush you, let alone you , even I can’t do better than you.”
Josk put on his clothes, arranged his luggage, and led Lorist, El, and others to the camp of the central army, and ordered the guards to blow the horn of the gathering generals to call in officers above the captain of the Chasseur Cavalry. . I heard that Lorist announced the personnel changes of the Chasseur Legion.
Josk is still the head of the legion, El is the deputy head and head of the corps, Vasimma is the head of the corps and logistics director, and a series of battalion commanders and captains are appointed. Among them, it is worth noting that Edward Walker, the former commander of the 23rd Battalion of the Guards, was transferred to the Chaser Legion as the deputy commander because of his meritorious service in defending the city of Pedro against the attack of 100,000 barbarian cavalry. Concurrently run the command.
After the personnel appointments were announced, Lorist and all the officers in the tent discussed again the lessons learned from the defeat of the Chasseurs in Muyeyuan Province, and at the same time announced several new measures. First of all, Lorist is going to change the standard armor of the Chaser Legion again. After two years of practice, the standard equipment that the family equipped for the Chasseur Legion is still lacking in actual combat. A large number of family-standard equipment fell into the hands of the Feisabrun family and the grass-man tribe. In order to avoid being fished by the enemy in troubled waters in the future, the family had to change the style and color of the standard armor of the Chaser Legion. The existing more than 20,000 sets of light cavalry armor will be recovered and sealed.
Secondly, the family did not intend to equip the reorganized Chaser Legion with steel crossbows, which was also Lorist's decision. In Rock Castle, Lorist, together with several family knights including Fatty Shi, Farea, and Berunek, conducted a review of the defeat of the Chaser Legion, and it was surprising to find that it was Captain Pete. The team led by two extra battalions of tanks and crossbows led to the 3rd Corps being encircled and nearly wiped out. Yuri who went to rescue was severely injured by the strategy of Grand Duke Feisabrunn to set up a siege point. Led the Second Corps.
Lorist pointed out to the officers of the Chasseur Legion: "The Chasseur Legion is a light cavalry regiment, and the biggest threat to the light cavalry regiment is not its attack power, but its fast maneuverability. A light cavalry regiment can pose such a big threat to us, and they don't have a chariot crossbow with powerful long-range attack power, but they often make us feel like we are facing a big enemy, and we have to be on guard with all our strength.
Because we are afraid that they will hit the weakness of our family's armed forces with one blow, such as the transportation of logistics and supplies in the rear, the treatment camp for wounded soldiers, the warehouse for storing food and military equipment, etc. These weaknesses are most likely to be attacked by the enemy. Send and move the whole body. In this way, we lost the strategic initiative in front of the Qingqi Legion, not only passive but also fearful. For the Light Cavalry Legion, quick transfer, lightning attack, penetration, pull, blockade, surveillance, and tail pursuit are the most powerful tactical weapons.
The Chariot Steel Crossbow is one of the most threatening long-range attack weapons of our family. Although it moves quickly and has a strong ability to transfer, it is slow in mobility compared to light cavalry. The Chaser Legion is equipped with a steel crossbow on a chariot, just like a galloping horse dragging a carriage behind it, losing the mobility of quick transfer and separation. If Captain Pete hadn't been dragged down by the two battalions of steel crossbow chariots, when he found out that he was about to be besieged by the grass barbarian cavalry, no matter which direction he chose, he would be able to break out of the encirclement.
At that time, there were more than 100,000 grass barbarian cavalry. If you want to surround the third chasseurs, you have to go around in a big circle. There is simply no way to stop it. It's a pity that the commander of Pete's army chose to garrison and wait for reinforcements because of the existence of two tanks and steel crossbow battalions. As a result, the entire army was almost wiped out. "
After talking about the conclusions drawn from the review, Lorist said to all the officers of the Chasseurs: "We have to learn this lesson. As the only light cavalry in the family, the Chasseurs have high hopes for you. Although Feisa The Border Ranger Legion of the Bren family is our enemy, but as the strongest light cavalry in the former empire, we need to learn from their strengths, learn from failures, and strive to surpass them to become the strongest light cavalry, and the family will also Provide the best armaments to arm you, and look forward to the Chaser Legion being invincible across the northeast prairie."
After all the officers in the big tent retreated. Lorist said to Josk: "Joe, I am planning to hold a wedding with Princess Sylvia in Roaring Bear City, the southern capital of the Northland, in November. I would like to ask you to be my best man, is that okay?"
Josk was silent.
Lorist laughed: "Joe, my marriage to Princess Sylvia does not mean that we have made peace with the Feisabrun family. In fact, I think that as long as the Duke of Feisabrun is still alive, then the Feisabrun family will The Lun family is still our most dangerous enemy. Please don’t worry about the identity of Princess Sylvia, okay? She has become a person abandoned by the family because of me. "
Josk raised his head: "Your Highness, I believe what you said. But I don't want to attend your wedding with Princess Silvia, and I don't want to be the best man, is that okay?"
"No, look at these friends around me. Even El has a family. So you can only be the best man. If you have a family before November, then I won't force you."
Josk showed a helpless expression: "Then I'd better be the best man."
"Thank you, Joe." Lorist was very happy and settled another one.
Early the next morning, Lorist found Tagle appearing in front of him out of breath.
"What's the matter with you, Tagle?"
"Your Highness, the battle has begun..."
"War, who will attack us?" Lorist jumped up.
"No, it wasn't us, no one came to attack us, Your Highness, let me take a few breaths before reporting..." Tager rested for a long time before he finally returned to normal: "I'm choking to death, riding in the morning I was choked half to death by a gust of wind while I was on my way..."
"Okay, stop complaining, where did you say the war started? The Second Highness and the Commercial Alliance? Or attack the four central duchies?" Lorist asked a series of questions.
"Your Highness, it's not Second Highness, but the Ford Business Alliance and the South Central Kingdom's allied forces are at war. This happened a month ago." Tager took out a large stack of business alliance cards from the big bag beside him. newspaper.
"Has the fight finally started? It's been a year with only thunder and no rain, so it's finally serious." Lorist heaved a sigh of relief.
How time flies, I remember the time I brought Kenmes and the others to Morente City to play and had a conflict with that chamber of commerce for almost four years, that is, that time I persuaded Dean Levins to move the Dawn Academy to the North Now, Chenxi College in the North has been officially opened for two years, and nearly a thousand students have become new students.
President Peterson apologized to himself after the unpleasant trip to Morente City. Later, according to the news from the Knights of Renmod who stayed in Morente City, the seven giants of the Commercial Alliance have rectified and punished the upstart lords conferred by the Commercial Alliance, confiscating and canceling dozens of people who made too much noise The territories and titles of the new nobles, and a dozen new nobles who committed crimes were sent to the gallows. Finally, the internal situation of the business alliance was stabilized, the etiquette and behavior of the new nobles were standardized, and at the same time, business The uncivilized behavior of the alliance's new canonization of nobles has improved the legal provisions for managing the territory.
After the situation within the business alliance stabilized, the Big Seven began to negotiate with the surrounding kingdoms and principalities, hoping to open up trade routes, no longer be hostile to the business alliance, and restore the old harmonious relationship. The business alliance also promises that it will never have ambitions for the territories of various kingdoms and duchies, etc., and strive to restore friendly relations with various countries.
From the map, the Galintia continent looks like a very irregular shuttle, with a small top and a big bottom, and several cracks. The top is north and the bottom is south. Human settlements occupy two-thirds of the continent, like a crescent moon. The northernmost is the Northland. In fact, it is still in the upper and middle half of the map. The north separated by the Demon Dragon Mountains is the human race. The wild land that has never been set foot, there are endless primitive jungles and lofty mountains.
From the north of the human settlements area to the south is the most powerful Cresson Empire in the past. When it reaches the Faliqiu Plain, it is the Ford Business Alliance. The business alliance is full of kingdoms and principalities, including the business alliance There are thirty-four countries, known as the thirty-four countries in Central and South China. These thirty-four countries are the Romon Empire, which ranks second among the three major powers in the mainland, the Havistan Khanate, which ranks third, and the Kyria Kingdom, which is adjacent to the two major powers. A Juggernaut Township, and it is precisely because of the existence of the Juggernaut that the Romon Empire and the Havistan Khanate, which have been in love and killing each other for hundreds of years, can maintain a fragile peace for 20 to 30 years. It is also because of the existence of the Juggernaut that it is possible to live in peace between the two great powers.
Further south of the Romon Empire is the Great Strait of Yamagirona, and on the other side of the strait is the Cinconan Peninsula. There are five or six peninsula countries on the island, and there are constant disputes. It is said that they have struggled for hundreds of years to unify the peninsula. Up to now Still at loggerheads, but because it is the southernmost tip of the mainland, the peninsula is barren, and has never been valued by the mainland countries. Even the Romon Empire, which is closest to them, has no intention of taking this peninsula with high mountains, dense forests, few products, and barbaric folk customs as their territory.
After the Glass War that year, the Merchant Alliance annexed the territories of a total of nine countries around Zhoupan, plus the Duchy of Rulm separated from the Krissen Empire, and the two provinces of the extinct Kingdom of Ridleys. It has become the country with the largest territory in the Galintia continent, and the thirty-four countries in Central and South, which have always been known for being closely united against the three major powers in the North and South, have undergone this drastic change and only twenty-four countries are left. Facing a giant-like business alliance , They joined forces to block the trade routes, cut off business contacts with the business alliance, and dealt a heavy blow to the business alliance that was unprepared for this chaotic expansion.
However, with the completion of the internal governance of the seven giants of the business alliance, the business alliance began to negotiate with these countries, but progress was delayed. For this reason, the business alliance formed two regular legions with about 140,000 soldiers approaching the border, while the 24 Central and South countries were not to be outdone, and also united nearly 200,000 troops to confront them. The two sides have been facing each other for more than a year. Unexpectedly, the war finally broke out. It seems that neither side can bear the huge consumption of armaments and supplies, so it would be better to decide the winner early.
Tagle said: "Your Highness, the Roman Empire and the Havistan Khanate also fought two months ago. In addition, the Kingdom of Kyria was destroyed by the Roman Empire. The whereabouts of the Storm Sword Master of the Kingdom of Kylia is unknown."
Oh, but these two great powers are too far away, Lorist doesn't care.
"There is also bad news. The Knights of Renmod were compulsorily enlisted in Morant City and went to the front line. The Business Alliance declared that every citizen must fulfill his or her responsibilities at critical moments. So now the newspapers and The information was collected and brought back by the four wives of Knight Rummard, half a month later than usual." Tagle said.
Uh... Lorist was stunned, poor Knight of Rummerd...
... ,
