"Now the total number of the October Legion has reached 4,300 people, and most of the members are now the third ~ fourth batch of Pullen immigrants, who can already graduate from the military academy after training. However, just as the first batch of October members are still at the level of recruits, most of the usual acting operations are still suspected of insufficient combat power compared with actual combat operations. “

"At the same time, the March Legion has also expanded to nearly 1,000 people, and it is upgraded from the original second batch of October Legionnaires to the March Legion after the Battle of Crossroads.

"As the main strategic force of our Pulen King City, the Fallen Sky Force already has sixteen Fallen Sky Twilight, twenty-five Death Giant Crossbows, and forty brand-new car crossbows. Thanks to the hard work of the Iron Ministry. It is true that in the field, if we encounter the English, we will be at an absolute disadvantage, but if we are simply defending the city, we will suffer losses in the royal city of Prim and the harbor city of Pandora, but we will definitely not lose them. That's the limit for us right now. ”

Jania said at this time that she had been traveling for a long time to recruit Welsh people into the army, so she was most familiar with the formation of the Legion of the Sun in June.

"King, the command that will be delivered according to your thoughts. There was a group of Welshmen who were willing to join the army and perhaps have temporary residency in the harbor city of Pandora, and most of these people were from Orion Families with rich hunting experience, numbering about six hundred to eight hundred, while most of the rest were young men and serfs with little experience in using bows and arrows, and I am afraid that training them would take longer than expected. ”

King Pullen thought for a moment, and then he said, "The key to the June Sun Legion now is not in the basic training, but in the basic numbers. The instructors of the military academy did not need to train according to the training method of the October regiment when training in June, which could only be used on pure heavy infantry, and there was no need for light infantry. ”

"So...... What do you mean? Yania blinked and asked?

"Eliminate some of your training and focus most of your time on your daily physical training. In addition, a portion of the 800 skilled archers will be trained in archery on horseback, and this group will become the new backbone of future archers. As for the average archer, there are not many requirements, the key is to familiarize them with the command and have a good body. A series of trainings such as defensive formations, offensive formations, assault formations and scattered formations, as well as squad combat, such as the October Legion, have been cancelled, so that they can concentrate on learning the ropes of using bows and arrows. ”

"If that's the case, king...... Why don't we let the old archers teach these recruits? Yaniyati said.

King Pullen thought about it and nodded, it was a good note.

"Well, then another twenty from the October Knights, and another twenty from the March Legion as instructors. Most of these people were from the hunting party of the former Puron King City, and they knew a lot about bows and arrows. ”

"Understood, I'll do it right away."

After Jania left, King Pullen continued to discuss the next negotiations with Cassius and Ni.

………………………………

On the other side, at the port of Pandora at this time.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, there are white sails, and the ships sail out to sea.

There are hundreds of large and small ships coming in and out of the port, and there is an endless stream of ships coming and going on the route. This is the port of Pandora 4, which is dedicated to the place where small boats can be accommodated.

Ten meters away, in the deep water bay, there are many large cargo ships moored, roughly calculated, there are about 100 of them, and all kinds of colorful flags flutter on the poles, representing the origin of the ships and the country to which they belong.

Most of the ships with yellow flags on a black background are from the Holy Roman Empire, the ones with white flowers on a blue background belong to the Kingdom of France, the ones with black axes on a red background come from Denmark, and the others with variegated colors but no specific characteristics are native merchants from the British Isles.

As the influence of the royal city of Pleen grew, so did the guests of Pandora's port. However, even the merchants of hostile nations did not dare to make trouble when they came to the port of Pandora, because the city guards who patrolled the shore did not reason with them who were not Prun.

Workers came and went on the docks, transporting boxes of goods produced outside the royal city to the rest of the world, the most expensive of which was the sea salt produced in the royal city of Pulun, which was more expensive than the weapons of the royal city, and was the most favorite and most profitable item for the merchants.

The harbor city of Pandora is built in a natural large outlet to the sea, with an average daily capacity of 300~600 ships, of which small and medium-sized ships are distributed in No. 1~4 ports, and the large one in No. 5 port is also the largest foreign trade port in the city of Pleon. On average, there are three times as many City Guards patrolling here every day as elsewhere.

So, whoever comes to the harbor city of Pandora is first struck by the huge natural harbor that has been developed and maintained by the Puron people, and the endless stream of ships setting sail against the rising sun.

"Pandora, that's an ironic name. I used to think that this name was the name of the goddess of death that should be cursed and rejected, but I didn't expect that the king, His Majesty, would have the audacity to openly use this name to name this great city. “

Elander, an emissary from the Holy Roman Empire, visited the Lower Harbour City of Pandora after lunch. When he saw the busy ships coming in and out of the port, he couldn't help but sigh.

"That's it." Torrance. Pande, the envoy of the Kingdom of France, actually came out with the envoy of his old rival for the first time, which is really rare in the diplomatic history of the two countries. However, on the other hand, both of them are veterans of the battlefield, and it is not impossible for them to come together temporarily for some interests.

For example, this time, it was Elander who first invited Torrance to come out with him under the pretext of taking a walk, but he actually wanted to probe the tone of the French Kingdom and find out where the other party's bottom line and purpose were. And Torrance accepted Elander's invitation, but didn't he actually have the same goal?

The two old foxes glanced at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.

"Your country seems to have been at odds with the English lately, and the king of your family seems to be anxious to conquer all of England, but is unable to gather his forces because of the situation in the country. Speaking of which, your relationship with the Iberians is really declining a lot. “

Arander begins by saying that the Iberians he is referring to are actually the Portuguese, Moors, and Spaniards living in the Iberian Peninsula.

"Not long ago, I received information that your Duke Polo of France had another fight with the invading Moors on the western border, and you seem to have suffered a lot of losses?"

In 1086, the Moorish general led 10,000 soldiers to defeat the Spanish and Portuguese forces at the Glenchona Forest, and captured all the commercial channels from the east to the west. Later, they set their sights on France, which in recent years has been trying to gather a large army to invade the Iberian Peninsula and occupy its rich resources under the pretext of supporting the Catholic countries.

The Moors were a stumbling block to the invasion of the French, and they repeatedly sent troops to help the Spanish and Portuguese flank the Moorish Empire, but they were never able to really hurt its roots.

This time, the fierce general Hassan, who is rare in the Moorish Empire in a hundred years. Sharif. Muhammad led an army of 10,000 men eastward into the city of Barcelona, which was then controlled by the Kingdom of France. Along the way, the Kingdom of France continued to send troops to block along the way, but in the end, the other party took the lead in attacking the city of Barcelona before the arrival of the first team's support.

After fifteen days of fighting with each other, General Moore Sharif. Muhammad had to withdraw his troops and, after leaving behind the bodies of more than 3,000 soldiers, quickly returned from the eastern front to the Moorish castle of Gragena for repairs. And almost as soon as Moore walked on the front foot, the 30,000 reinforcements from France arrived in Barcelona.

However, at this time, Barcelona had been devastated by the Moorish attack, not to mention the destruction of commerce, because the Moors threw a large number of dead camels or other cattle into the city with catapults during the battle, causing a large number of bacteria and diseases to spread in the city, making the originally prosperous Barcelona completely reduced to hell on earth.

As a result, the Kingdom of France not only lost a tax revenue, but also lost an important strategic springboard to attack the Iberian Peninsula.

And the Duke of Polo in Arander's mouth is the lord of Barcelona, and he has returned to France with French reinforcements.

Torrance chuckled, dismissive of the thorny tone in Elander's words. Neither of them is the kind of impulsive young man who was young, and there is no way to directly draw their swords against each other when negotiating between the two countries as they did at the beginning, almost causing a catastrophe.

"You guy, you always have a prickly mouth when you speak. More than ten years have passed, and the old habits still don't change. Torrance said with a smile and shook his head.

"Hahaha, anyway, I'm too lazy to change it if you're used to it." Elander laughed.

The two of them walked to the vicinity of Port No. 5 in the royal city of Pleon, looking at where their home and the large merchant ships of the Kingdom of France were stationed, at this time, Torrance's relaxed expression on the surface was retracted, and he began to say solemnly: "Old fellow, I won't play with you anymore. Let's put it bluntly, our Holy Roman Empire is determined to win this time, and the small principality of the royal city of Pulon has such an excellent forging process, after all, the puppet is not guilty. When I traveled, our Emperor had already given an order to obtain their forging methods by any means, even if necessary......"

Elander's eyes swept Torrance fiercely and sharply, his hands behind his back, his mouth tightened, and the muscles on his face were a little stiff, which made him extremely serious and strict.

In the face of such a Irandel, Torrance already roughly understood what the other party wanted to say.

Torrance spoke, "You plan to storm the city of Pullon and then steal one of them?" No, no, no, I don't think you will be able to continue to cross the sea and attack the British Isles after the Battle of the Black Forest, and we in the Kingdom of France will not sit idly by. “
