Chapter 406: Gather your strength and fight

June 10, sunny and scorching.

Under the training ground outside the Beiguan Military Fort, with the assistance of his own soldiers, Rig put a long-sleeved chain mail off his head, adjusted the cuff lock rings and put on the lock hood, and then put on a set of gray and white tight burqas, and then pulled it vigorously, tied a leather iron buckle belt around his waist, and hung the three-foot fine iron broadsword, short knife, water bladder, waist bag and other things.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and by the time Rig hung a whole set of equipment on his body, he was already sweating profusely.

Looking at Wei Ju, who was also debugging his armor and military uniform next to him, Rig couldn't help but complain: "Lord Wei Ju, you said that our previous black robes were very good, and people called us how majestic the black robes were, but now this military uniform is the true color of cotton, which is not majestic enough."

"But don't say it, the class and rank badge of this burqa are quite good, and there is no need to say much when everyone meets in the future, as long as you see the rank badge, you will know each other's military identities." Rig couldn't help but touch the palm-sized pennant badge above the mouth of his left chest, the badge was sewn onto the military uniform, the pennant was a symbol of the rank of knight's squire, and Rig's current military position was the flag captain.

And standing in front of Rig by two personal soldiers wearing plate chain mail and wearing a burqa military uniform, Wei Yu has a swallowtail flag badge on his left chest, which is a symbol of the rank of trainee knight, and Wei Yu's military rank is company captain.

The second batch of the second batch of officers' academy training, which was originally planned to last for three months, ended early due to the sudden tension of the situation, and all the apprentices and officers of the officer's academy successfully completed and were assigned military posts according to their military achievements and academic achievements

During the discussion between the two, Otto wearing a stainless steel black half-helmet, a fine plate chain armor inside, a one-horned Pegasus heraldic burqa military uniform, a knight's sword on his waist, and cowhide combat boots walked towards Wei Yu and the two, as a square flag knight and a corps adjutant and the head of the first infantry sub-regiment, Otto's military uniform is different from ordinary people, and he is eligible to use his knight coat of arms on the military robe.

When Wei Yu, Rig and a few of his own soldiers saw Otto coming over, they immediately straightened up and clenched their right hand into a fist and beat their chest, "Lord Otto! ”

Otto also raised his hand and clenched his fist to his chest in return, "Wei Yu, have you received all the weapons, armor and military uniforms of your company?" ”

"Back to Lord Odo, the first and second flag teams have been collected, and Rigge's third flag team is receiving equipment."

"Hurry up, the reorganization ceremony will begin in a moment."

"Yes, Odo-sama!"

After giving the order, Odo walked to the other side of the training ground, where the army that had just received an order from the Yate army to come to the Beiguan Military Fort to be reorganized and redressed.

They were the 150 soldiers of Tiñez, the 50 private soldiers led by Felix (not all of them were there because they were stationed at the border), and the 160 private soldiers of the Baron Antayas.

In addition, the sixty standing peasants of the valley garrison corps, representatives of the border garrison, representatives of the border patrol, and representatives of the garrisons of various territories directly under the territory also gathered here

In the afternoon, the flag fluttered in the wasteland training ground outside the Beiguan Military Fort, and more than 1,400 soldiers stood silently.

The soldiers standing in the center are all dressed in uniform black and white burqas, and their standing posture is the most serious, and their momentum is more imposing.

On the platform of the training ground near the valley and dense forest, there was a row of high-ranking officers standing with Yat as the center, Odogangus was naturally the right-hand man, Bas and Kazak were also high-ranking knights, Cooper as the representative of the civil administration, and Robert as the messenger of God were also present.

Baron Antaas was of course invited to the stage because of his high title, and Felix had just been promoted to Baron of the Frontier because of the outstanding military exploits of the Stone Castle and the special status of Flender's cousin, so naturally he would not be in the audience.

Dressed in shiny Milanese plate armor, a white cloak hung from his shoulders and behind him, his left hand holding the hilt of the knight's sword at his waist.

As the Supreme Commander, he didn't need to charge into battle, and such heavy armor was more suitable for heavy cavalry or powerful heavy infantry, but he could only endure the heat and pressure during today's ceremonial event.

There were thousands of people, and it would be very exhausting to speak in the wide training ground and let everyone hear it, so Agent Ark's workshop made a morning glory-shaped horn out of scrap iron, and with this thing, Art's voice could travel farther

Bishop Robert of Tignez had already led everyone to complete a simple and solemn prayer, Robert took two steps back, and Art walked up.

"Everyone!"

More than 1,400 people stood in unison, and the soldiers and officers under the former Wells Regiment clasped their fists and beat their chests to salute Arte.

Art raised his hand to beat his chest in return, and then lowered his right hand, "Assembled here today to complete the reorganization ceremony of the Wells Legion. ”

"Me, Art? Wood? Wells, in the name of the Viscount of the Frontier of the Earl of Burgundy, the Knight of the Court Guard, the Military Officer of the Southern Frontier, and the Commander of the Legion of the Welsh and the Garrison of the Southern Frontier, announced the establishment of the Legion of Wales on the same day. ”

"I am the commander of the Wells Legion, and Otto and Angus are the deputy commanders of the legion."

"The Welsh Corps was divided into three sub-regiments and several units directly under the Central Army. The Welsh Regiment commanded the camp at the Beiguan Military Fort.

The first sub-regiment, transferred from the original Wells Regiment to the garrison of Beiguan Military Fort, has three companies and nine flag teams, the first sub-regiment commander Odo concurrently, and the deputy commander of the sub-regiment Kazak; directly subordinate to the first company commander Kazak and the deputy company commander Bangada; The second company leader, Colin, the company deputy Andrew, the third company leader, Wei Xu, the company deputy commander, Tridok, the company deputy commander.

The second sub-regiment, known as the Southern Xinjiang Garrison Corps, has three companies under its jurisdiction. The first company was transferred from the Tignets county soldiers to an establishment of 160 men, and was stationed in the county town of Tiniets; The second company was transferred from the private army of Sapp to the establishment of 160 men, stationed in the Barony of Sap; The 3rd Company was transferred from Andermatt to a private army of 100 men and was stationed at Fort Andermatt. Anglus, the second sub-commander, and Antayas, the deputy of the sub-regiment; The 2nd Sub-regiment was stationed at its own garrison on weekdays and assembled for combat in wartime.

The 3rd Detachment, also known as the Garrison Corps. The garrison corps was expanded, with 80 standing peasant soldiers, and the garrison wooden fort (stationed in the workshop area and guarded by prisoners of war), and the number of registered peasant soldiers increased to 500.

The Frontier Patrol, the Frontier Garrison, and the three direct lord garrisons of Wincheston, Southwest Farm, and Lane Manor were incorporated into the garrison corps;

Bass, the commander of the third sub-regiment

After the reorganization of the Welsh Corps on 10 June, all the "guest" troops who had come to participate in the reorganization remained at the Beiguan Military Fort for two weeks of intensive training, during which Art would train them himself.

After the training, they will receive slightly better weapons and armor from Art, and then return to their respective stations to wait, and as long as Art has a military order, these troops must be unconditionally assembled for battle

In mid-June, Flanders, the new king of the Count of Burgundy, sent a special pardon from the court of Besançon to Tignez, the content of which was simple - declaring that all the lords of Tignets would end their relationship with the original feudal lords and be loyal to the Ards.

The fundamental reason why Yat could not fully control the entire county after he was granted the title of Tignets County was that it was originally the direct domain of the Marquis of Ivrea, and Yvrea, in the past few decades, successively divided the county territory to many court nobles and cronies, and the court nobles were divided into retainers, which eventually led to a Tignets county being divided into fragmented forces, and behind an inconspicuous small manor could be a court magnate.

Most of the people Yat can provoke now, but there are still some powerful people who have defected to Balwyn that Art can't do at will, so in addition to a dozen or so direct territories that Arter can really control, that is, the two baronies of Sapu Fort and Andermatt Castle, can really control.

Now, Flender's pardon has solved this problem once and for all.

Arte can imagine that the new monarch Flanders also took a lot of trouble, and the deep-rooted old-school forces behind the county of Tignats are not so easy to deal with, and it is very difficult for them to give up a territory, even in the remote Tignets mountains, and behind this there must be all kinds of compromises and concessions and exchange of interests.

Flender's intentions are also very clear to Arte, one is to buy Yat and make him grateful and willingly driven; The second is to set an example, Arter had previously been transporting military rations and raising armaments, and had performed well in the most dangerous times for the Flanders faction, and this example Flender had to set; The third is also to let Yate, who is located in the south, gain real power and rise as soon as possible to be a strong reinforcement

Of course, such an outcome was what Art dreamed of, and he was originally thinking about how to deal with the intricacies of the various forces in the county after the war, but now, Flender directly removed an obstacle with the exchange of power and interests.

After receiving the pardon, Art immediately went into action.

In the name of the feudal lord of Tignets, he issued an order to all the lords, squires, and representatives of various trades in the county, that they should rush to the county town of Tinets within five days of receiving the order and swear allegiance to him.

The order was quickly extended to the entire county of Tinets through dozens of horses of the cavalry, and then Art led the first detachment of the reorganized Wells Regiment to the county town of Tinets.

Five days later, more than 50 representatives of the lords and squires of Tignets came to the county seat of Tignets to swear allegiance to Yat.

In order to let the people who came to take the oath see the strength of the feudal king, after the oath-taking ceremony, the first sub-regiment staged a huge military exercise and competition in the military camp outside the city of Tignats.

Art also took advantage of the heat to announce two orders.

First, a system of peasant soldiers was established in all non-direct territories of the county of Tinets, and all healthy men over the age of 18 and under the age of 35 in the county were registered as registered peasant soldiers. In the village manor and settlement, one standing peasant soldier is elected for every ten households, and the standing peasant soldier is provided with weapons, armor and food materials by the remaining nine households, and the registered peasant soldier and standing peasant soldier are under the jurisdiction of the garrison corps. Scattered settlements with a population of less than 10 households were divided into groups by garrison regiments.

Second, Yate issued a wartime grain collection order. With the exception of Fort Sap, all the winter wheat harvested this year and the spring wheat harvested in a few months from now in the county were bought by the Wells Legion, which sent people to buy it from village to village.

Of course, Art was not enough to quench his thirst, and he promised everyone that the price of the grain purchased by the Legion would be ten percent higher than the price of grain purchased in previous years

On June 20, after taking the oath of allegiance in the county town of Tignac, Art had just put on his armor and was about to return to the North Pass Military Fort, when the officers guarding the north gate of the county town hurriedly ran to the lord's hall and knocked on Art's mansion.

"Lord Viscount~ There are a few homeless people outside the north gate who want to see you, and one of them seems to be a leper~"

Ron, who was armouring Art, listened to the words of the garrison officer and asked, "Can you grow your brains, a group of outcasts and a leper are also coming to trouble the adults?" Boom away! ”

The little officer looked apologetic, "Sir Ron~ we were going to blow it away, but the leper asked me to tell the adults that he was a guest of the Iris family~ we~"

Art was surprised when he heard it, "Iris family? ”

"Ron, go see for yourself."
