Chapter 63: Preliminary Military System

Middle-earth is a magical world, even if it is weak magic, there are many weapons or equipment that can be called divine weapons, although it is not as powerful as in other novels to the point of destroying 100,000 legions with a sword, but it is indeed completely fine to protect yourself or easily become an enemy of fifty people.

And now, this sword of the human emperor: the Holy White Radiance, is one of the best, any knight or warrior who can use the Holy White Radiance, often can easily kill him in the crowd Seven in and seven out, of course, having a divine weapon does not mean invincible, in the heyday of the human race, there were fifty church knights, killing a spirit holding a divine weapon, so in addition to its own combat effectiveness, the divine soldier is more meaningful, or in his representativeness.

At least, the human emperor who has the Divine White Radiance can be called the Venerable Emperor in the true sense, and now, Al handed over the missing sword to Lu Luxiu, and Lu Lu Xiu did not go back to doubt the authenticity of this sword, because the power in his body clearly told himself that this sword was the Holy White Radiance, although Lelouch had never known the origin of the power in his body, but when he saw this sword, an extremely bold idea appeared in his mind.

"In addition to this 'Holy White Radiance', the humble is also willing to make a sacred contract with the adult, no matter what the future holds, the humble will become the most loyal retinue of the adult, the lord is born and the minister is born, and the lord dies!"

As he spoke, Al suddenly drew a magical figure in the void, which floated in front of Lelouch, and in the middle was a drop of blood between El's eyebrows.

This has already shown the church's heartfelt refuge!

Lelouch was not surprised by El's cool contract magic, it was like a pure Middle-earther, casually stretched out his right hand, touched the drop of blood, and then in that moment, Lelouch felt as if he had some kind of power, a power that could dominate someone, everything, this feeling was amazing, it seemed that as long as he had a mind, he could control everything about the other party, life or death!

At this point, the real foundation of cooperation between Lelouch and the church has been laid, and the remaining further cooperation can only be explored and established in the long-term exchanges, but now...

"I'm wondering, will the construction speed of our workers be, or a little too slow!"

...

"Oh my God, how can Lord Lelouch have such a big need?"

"To be honest, I originally thought that the manufacturing speed under this forging process was fast enough, but now it seems that our speed is still not enough!"

"Why do you say so much? Lord Lelouch has kindly given us everything, look at what we have now, isn't it enough, we just need to work hard to complete the tasks assigned by Lord Lelouch, we don't have to think about the rest!"

...

"Lord Kennon, we have made preparations for resettlement, but where will such a large number of migrants arrive?"

"The fifteen thousand households in the early stage have already begun to prepare, and the population of Limburg is almost reaching the upper line, and we have replanned the plain between Windhelm and Winter Castle, and we are planning to build no less than three hundred villages, but according to the trend you mentioned, our territory will soon be overcrowded. ”

...

After Lelouch and Al finalized the deal, Al gave a shocking order, the first installment, three months, 10,000 infantry equipment, and 1,000 custom knight equipment.

This is not counting the reserve armament used to prevent attrition, originally El was also ready to reserve materials and another tenth, but considering the actual production capacity of Limburg, and Limburg's own needs, El and Duo's needs are really unable to meet, but even so, it also made Lelouch really start to be afraid of the church, the church needs such a huge amount of materials, and it depends on the situation, if it is not for the production capacity of Limburg, the church can still be called up.

Legend has it that in the heyday of the church, it was able to arm an army that directly participated in the direct battle between the great powers of Middle-earth, and the final battle of the White City can be said to be that the church is resisting the huge Mordor army alone, and Lelouch has always been skeptical in the past, it has been a crusader on the earth for hundreds of years, and it is not affiliated with the church, it is just an army spontaneously formed by the corresponding church calls of various countries, that is to say, the crusaders are religious armies, but they do not belong to religion.

But now it is different, the church in Middle-earth is still beyond the secular power institutions, and has become an institution that can sit on an equal footing, according to the church's demand for this equipment, the church can easily mobilize a thousand super knights, 10,000 elite infantry, Lelouch is not worried that the church's infantry is not elite, because according to the current equipment production, non-elite soldiers have no right to use the weapons and equipment forged in Limburg.

A force that can easily mobilize a thousand elite knights and 10,000 elite infantry is already a national-level force, although it is only a small national-level force, but this is only a little bit of power revealed by the church.

In any case, Limburg, which was originally developed step by step, began to be busy again because of El's proposal, and everyone who had just felt a little more relaxed fell into busy work again, and because of the conflict of the trip to the White City, another Zhan Zeng between the Terrans and Mordor was about to break out, and Limburg finally began to mobilize the army, and the standing army of 2,000 people will be further expanded, and the knight team has reached the extreme, whether it is the number of knights or the number of war horses, the size of the team of 600 people will not increase in the short term.

The infantry team will be raised to 4,000 standing troops, so that Limburg's regular troops will have 4,600 people, which is not a small scale, after all, Lelouch is just a new duke with three cities, the number may not be much different from other dukes, but these more than 4,000 people are a professional legion built by Lelouch according to the standards of the earth, they are well-trained, well-nourished, and well-armed, it can be said that such an army is completely capable of crushing any equal number of enemy troops, eh, provided that the other party is not such as: dragons, giants, magicians and other top individual combat power.

Of course, Lelouch is not ready to use these more than 4,000 people to participate, although these 4,000 people have high combat effectiveness, but in front of the Mordor army, the number of 4,000 people is too small, if it is a short-term fixed defense, if it is a large-scale war level, no matter how these 4,000 people are used, it is a dead word, and it is impossible for Lelouch to take all the combat power out of Limburg, no matter what, the local must leave some combat power as a reserve, so Lelouch has well implemented the concept of all people are soldiers.

Although there are only more than 4,000 people in the standing army, the militia reserve is nearly 50,000 people, and it can be said that every male strong laborer who can move is classified into the ranks of the militia reserve, and then from this method, a reserve army of 10,000 people is prepared, and the reserve army will be a direct supplementary force and logistics force of the standing army, and their work will be slightly easier, and the welfare treatment is better than that of ordinary civilians, and in exchange, they need twice as much military training time as ordinary people.

For the reserve army, in addition to the same armor as ordinary soldiers, Lelouch weapons and equipment have been streamlined to two, a half-human high zither-shaped shield, a super long spear, in addition to the soldier's strong physique, only need to concentrate on exercising the shield wall and spear thrust, so that the training is fast, and can quickly adapt to the tactical needs of the standing army, and can be directly used as a standing army in some places on the battlefield, which can be said to be a few in one fell swoop.

To tell the truth, Leluxiu's military mobilization system is much more advanced than other countries in Middle-earth, and it may only be compared with the military system of the elves, but that is just a comparison, because when Lelouch promotes such a system to the whole country, the human race will not only have amazing industrial production capacity, but also have amazing military mobilization capabilities, and other forces do not want to mobilize like this, but the mobilization ability is always linked to the local population and productivity, not as many troops as they want to mobilize。

And Lelouch's system of garrisons can not only avoid production being affected, but also be able to assemble a large number of legions in a short period of time, and this is where this system is really powerful.

As for the mobilized soldiers at the next level, they only use their leisure time for military exercise, and the weapons and equipment are simpler, except for an extra-long gun and a self-made paneled leather armor in a unified format according to the regulations of the upper level, the rest depends on the individual's own family situation to equip themselves, and the rich people are wearing the standard steel armor of the standing army all over their bodies, and there is no problem with riding war horses, anyway, in Leluxiu's view, these mobilized soldiers will not be sent to the battlefield, and their equipment is only used for training, and their role is to continuously pump blood for the upper two levels, rather than going to the front line themselves, so everything is simple。

Of course, Lelouch also wants to equip them with a full set of weapons and equipment, but this is enough to think about, even if Lelouch unifies the human race and develops with all his might for five years, it will be impossible to meet such a huge demand.

And in Lelouch's view, such a manifestation is the most economical and efficient, and blindly pursuing the high will only drag down oneself, not make oneself stronger!

In addition to the combat effectiveness of an army, its continuity, practicality, and economy are also a factor that has to be considered!
