Chapter 521: Military Parade
After the Green Elf tribe that joined the Cordillera led by the Green Elves officially migrated, the promised troops entered the Black Forest Training Base to receive systematic training from the city defense force, and when the Green Elf warriors promised by the tribe in three days also joined, there were already 13,000 Green Elf warriors in the base.
The power displayed by these Green Elf warriors made Barth. Willy was quite satisfied, but there were still some problems for Hathaway - these Green Elves were undoubtedly better than Orc and Barbarian warriors in terms of discipline and individual combat, but Hathaway knew that these Green Elves still needed to undergo a change in mindset in terms of loyalty.
Now they are no longer just green elves, but first the Cordillera and then the green elves, and if they are not made to understand this truth, they will have no sense of belonging, and this army will never be an armed force that can be reassured.
Of course, the warriors of the Three Days Tribe will definitely not have a sense of belonging, but Hathaway is confident that they will feel different from their fellow citizens and realize where the gap between them is...... Hathaway believes that the pursuit of a better life is the innate desire of every intelligent life. As long as you give those green elves a while, they will definitely be tempted.
Thirteen,000 Green Elf warriors have reached the number of Hathaway and Barth. Willy's expectation was that a significant portion of this group of warriors had combat experience, which would be important for a built army, but the urgent need to address their sense of loyalty made it necessary for Hadsea to make sure the Green Elves understood who their current masters were.
Twenty-six infantry squadrons lined up in black pressure on the training ground, and the makeshift review stand was very crude. But it looks quite a bit rough and bold style, the lord flag with the thorn bird pattern is erected in front of the review stand to hunt in the wind, and the selected infantry soldiers of the pro-guard team are shy, and the swarthy iron armor looks particularly majestic on them, at this time, every pro-guard warrior wants to show their bravery in front of this group of green elf soldiers, and the evil spirit and fierce color that exudes seem to distinguish them from the green elf warriors in front.
Standing behind the infantry was a well-proportioned and handsome group of half-elven warriors, who were also the most elite part of the Lord's Guard, these half-elves from the immigrants were natural marksmen, after so much tempering and polishing. Not only in marksmanship, but also in the next level. And it is important that in terms of discipline and style, it has fully grown into an army with great combat effectiveness.
Hathaway cherished this army more than the Infantry Guards...... You must know that it is not easy to train a qualified infantryman, but it is even more difficult to train a qualified sharpshooter, and it is even more difficult to cultivate a magic spear force that is uniformly enforced. And the guard in front of him is undoubtedly a combat unit with this kind of strength.
For the formation of a half-elf magic rifle unit. Hathaway has always had a soft spot.
Let's be honest. Humans are far less gifted in combat than other races with their own characteristics. Whether it's orcs, barbarians, dwarves, or green elves, this is especially true in a racially mixed region like the Cordillera.
And the half-elves who are closest to humans in terms of customs and physical characteristics. Undoubtedly the best substitute, especially since they also have the advantages of the elves, that is, they are dexterous, sharp-eyed, and have an impeccable talent for long-range attacks.
It's just that it costs a lot to build such an army, Hathaway only formed such an army in her lord's guard at first, and only began to form it in the Cordillera city defense army after the situation improved, and the team she brought this time is of course the elite of the elite, and the significance of bringing them here is self-evident.
The shock of the Lord's Guard's tactical drill performance was amazing, and the outstanding performance of the Guards soldiers in infantry formation change drills, individual combat drills, and assault charges of small units made the Green Elf warriors who had always had a sense of superiority over other races feel a huge shock.
In their eyes, it is not surprising that human warriors can be trained to this extent, but half-orcs and barbarians were originally a group of rabble, and now they have become such an army that can be called elite soldiers, which is undoubtedly a wake-up call for green elf warriors, asking themselves, now they are not at the same level as the other party at all, and if they can't show a lot of spirit in future training, I am afraid that there will really be a supporting role that will be marginalized and dispensable.
If the infantry guards bring psychological pressure, then the half-elf magic spear force brings psychological impact, those green elf warriors never thought that these half-elves that the pure-blood elves look down on at all, the use of this weapon can exert such a powerful lethality, whenever the commander's small flag points in a certain direction and reports the distance, the magic spearmen can always make that area dusty in a few seconds, and the scene of flying saucers shattering in the air is really impactful, Even the Green Elf warriors, who are known for their bravery, have a special taste in their hearts.
After repeatedly weighing that in the face of such a long-range strike force, if you want to break through the distance barrier and attack the opponent's camp to launch an attack, I don't know how much price you will pay, this question has always haunted the hearts of the Green Elf warriors.
The final test is the Magic Corps...... This is not a mage group.
From the time she entered the Cordillera, Hathaway wanted a strong group of mages under her control. However, the growth and cultivation of a mage involves all aspects, even if the current economic situation of the Cordillera leader is very good, it is not easy to recruit high-level mages, but fortunately, the joining of the green elves and barbarians has solved a big problem, plus the addition of the Abyss Priest, the Cordillera finally has a decent group of mages.
However, the main composition of this mage group is alien, and the main race of the Cordillera is still the human race, and it is a pity that there is no mage army that belongs to the human race.
With this in mind, Hathaway built a magical barracks next to the Black Forest military training base...... In fact, the entire training camp was a huge magic array. The people who live and train in it every day are all teenagers with strong mental strength carefully selected by Hathaway, and the instructors in charge of training in this barracks are all low-level mages trained from her base.
Of course, this kind of training method is not something Hathaway can think of, in fact, this is the proposal of the veteran, this was originally the method used by the elves to train the human magic legion back then, but compared to the magic legion back then, the current human magic qualifications are much worse...... According to the veteran's own words, all of them are defective. Occasionally there are some good seedlings. It has long been cut off.
In addition to teaching Hathaway this strange training method, the veteran also showed him how to use these low-level magicians, who were divided into groups according to their natural talents, each specialized in a particular kind of magic. Some are rapid gatherings of cultivating fire-type elements. Some are training for the control of wind elements. Others learn the use of fireball magic, the most basic form of fire magic, and with the help of magic arrays, all operations are relatively simple. Originally, it would take several years of hard cultivation to achieve some results, but now in just half a month, it has already achieved initial results.
In the whole training, what is really difficult to grasp is the cooperation between each other, some people continue to gather fire magic elements, while others transform these gathered fire elements into flame balls, and then those low-level magicians further compress these flame balls into powerful flame bombs, and finally use special wind magic to push the flame bombs to a distance of five or six hundred meters.
This is an attack line, precise and extremely efficient, almost as powerful as the fire-based high-level magic 'Heavenly Flame Fire Thunder'...... And the casting of 'Heavenly Flame Fire Thunder' requires at least the level of a sixth-level magician, and middle- and lower-level magicians can't do it at all, and even sixth-level magicians are also not capable of continuously using magic like 'Heavenly Flame Fire Thunder', and the magic energy that this kind of magic needs to consume is too much for an individual.
The method provided by the veteran solves the problems of magic energy gathering, elemental shaping, high-density compression of elements, and long-distance transmission, and gathers the strength of several people to share the large amount of magical energy and extremely difficult magic operation skills that need to be consumed. It's just that the close cooperation between them is the key to the success of this combination magic.
Hathaway can't remember how many explosions there were during the training, but she customized a special powerful magical defense armor for each soldier of the Legion, but there were still terrible training accidents from time to time, and fortunately the hospital was nearby, so there were no serious injuries or cripples of the soldiers, so that the soldiers of the Magic Corps secretly called this place the 'Devil's Training Camp'.
However, despite the complaints, no one proposed to quit the training. There was a long queue at the entrance of the recruitment department of the city defense army, and there was an endless stream of people applying to participate in the training of the magic corps, many of whom were the children of nobles and wealthy merchants. There were even some warriors who came in to join in the fun.
Although Hathaway was in the initial stage, she was hands-on with the training of the magic corps, but when the training was on the right track, she no longer came to supervise it every day, Ilona was fully capable of this job, although her talent in magic was far less than her cultivation in martial arts, but under Hathaway's supervision, she had successfully promoted to a one-star magician.
Hard work pays off!
At the parade, the performance of the Cordillera Magic Corps can be described as wonderful, and the four words 'jaw-dropping' can be used to describe the feeling of the people participating in the parade...... Especially the leaders of the Three Days Tribe and the leaders of the tribes.
They watched in amazement as they watched this extremely offensive performance without being able to resist, especially the Green Elf mages and barbarian priests who had already joined the mage group, and they were almost collectively petrified...... This kind of attack power is even more effective on the battlefield than a real magician, and if it is covered by the magic corps to attack, even a high-level magician may be hated, let alone those ordinary armies - it's a nightmare!
Hathaway was very satisfied with the drill of the Magic Corps, but Hathaway was still a little worried about the performance of the Green Elf troops.
In terms of the quality of the soldiers, these green elf warriors are very good, but it is difficult to confirm their will to fight, and judging from their performance, these warriors obviously lack the experience and psychological endurance they should have, and there is obviously a long way to go to build this army into a qualified army.
The invited representatives of the green elves, barbarians, dwarves, orcs and other parties were completely shocked, looking at the huge crater that exploded on the ground in an instant and the ground that became a miserable green after being shrouded in poisonous clouds, they all lost their voices without exception. It was only at this time that they realized that the quiet lord in front of them was not as simple as they imagined, and no one dared to say how much unknown power she still held in her hands.
Of course, Hathaway will not let go of this opportunity, while using the magic corps to bring a strong psychological impact to the parade guests, she quietly released several spiritual magic in a row on the parade platform, and injected her tall image into the hearts of those green elf warriors without reservation, at this time, even Niri and others standing behind the review table involuntarily had the urge to kneel on the ground and worship.
"Warriors, I am glad to see warriors of different races living on the Cordillera Plateau, standing under the banner of the Lord of the Cordillera, because it represents the fact that the brave Green Elves have joined us in the Cordillera and become a member of our glorious and great Cordillera Lord, first of all you should understand that you are no longer ordinary Cordillera Elves, you are first and foremost the Lords of Cordillera, and the Green Elves are just your race, like half-orcs, half-elves, and ordinary humans, You are the Green Elves of the Cordillera. You are the people of the Cordillera, and you are a glorious soldier of the Cordillera City Defence. Defending the Cordillera and fighting for the Cordillera is your only faith, and I am your only lord of allegiance! ”
Hathaway's speech was full of hints and ambiguity, and it was a rare opportunity for her to teach the Green Elves a lesson at the perfect time, while also instilling in them as much as possible the values of loyalty they needed to understand.
Hathaway carefully observed the reaction of these green elves, after all, these green elves are fundamentally different from orcs and barbarians, and they have a vendetta with humans, although there is no substantive conflict with Hathaway, but the green elves as a whole have been at war with humans, especially in the southeast.
And at least a thousand of these thirteen thousand Green Elf warriors had participated in the tribal alliance's conquest of humans, and now they had become citizens of the Cordillera region, which was dominated by humans, and it would take some effort for them to turn their minds around once and for all.
The Green Elf soldiers were completely lost under the blow of Hathaway's series of performances and psychological offensives, and after watching the performances of the Half-Elf Guards and the Magic Corps, they had already lost their proud arrogance, and then under the guidance of Hathaway's intentional spiritual magic, everything turned into an unprecedented worship of Hathaway who made it all happen.
As Hathaway regained their courage and self-confidence in changing tones, even Neri and his party had unwittingly accepted Hathaway's absolute authority without even realizing it. (To be continued......)
