The Hunter family is very efficient under Richard's management, especially in engineering construction, because Richard has long attached importance to the construction of infrastructure, the Hunter family has hoarded a large number of engineering talents, and now there are tireless kobolds to join, under the combination of the two, the construction capacity of the Hunter family engineering team is absolutely unparalleled in this era, from Richard's orders to start building a crusader training camp according to Rysel's requirements, in less than three days, a training camp covering an area of hundreds of acres has been initially formed.

At this time, Richard was also taking Rysel to select eligible soldiers in various barracks.

The Silver Wing Battalion

Because of Richard's expansion order, the Silver Wing Legion has expanded from more than 20,000 people to 50,000 people, and the recruits are replenished this month, thanks to Richard's strict management of the army, as well as a good source of troops in the north, although most of the recruits have been replenished, but the entire battalion of the Silver Wing Legion still looks orderly, and it has not been greatly affected by too many recruits, and the shelf is still very stable.

Of course, too many recruits will have a certain impact on combat effectiveness, and in the eyes of experts, there is still a big difference between well-trained recruits and veterans who have been in war for a long time.

Just like Ryssell, who followed Richard into the camp of the Silver Wing Legion, he began to observe from the moment he entered the camp gate, and then kept shaking his head, as if he was very dissatisfied with the source of the Silver Wing Legion, which made the captain of the Silver Wing Legion on the side have some dissatisfied looks on his face, this person is simply giving him an ugly look in front of Lord Richard.

"The soldiers are training well."

Fortunately, Richard affirmed it next, which made the captain of the Silver Wing Legion look a little better.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"My lord, there are too few qualified soldiers, and unless they are selected from among the officers, ordinary soldiers almost do not meet the conditions."

Ryssell didn't care much about the face of the captain of the Silver Wing Legion who was accompanying him, he just described it truthfully, after all, he couldn't explain it to Richard if he couldn't train the crusaders by picking unqualified soldiers.

"How many suitable soldiers can be selected from among the officers?"

For the harshness of the soldiers' requirements, Richard is still mentally prepared, how to say that the crusaders on the tabula rasa are also the combat effectiveness of the knight's initial rank, if you just give Ryssell a little recruit to train the crusaders, then Ryssell's value is too great.

"If you can choose officers, there are probably more than two hundred qualified soldiers."

After walking around the Silver Wing Legion's garrison for so long, of course Rysel is not a dry meal, he basically touched the bottom of the Silver Wing Legion, according to his screening conditions, the least that can meet the requirements is the officer of the Silver Wing Legion who is more than 100 people, and it must be the stronger one among the 100 people, all of them are quasi-knights or above, and they are battlefield veterans who have participated in several battles, as for the officers of the rank of wing captain, they are not within this range.

After Richard changed the military system, the wing captain was in charge of a thousand people, and basically all of them were knight-level masters, and crusade training was of little significance to them.

After hearing this data, Richard groaned slightly, it takes time for Ryssell to train these people into crusaders, three months is not long or short, if so many senior junior officers are suddenly withdrawn from the Silver Wing Legion, it will inevitably affect the combat ability.

It can only be drawn from different units, and try not to affect the combat effectiveness of the legion too much.

"Thirty men from the Silver Wing Legion, and the rest from other legions."

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, Rysel took thirty lucky people from the Silver Wing Legion, which cannot be said to be lucky, the Hunter family is mainly based on combat exploits, and among the more than two hundred qualified Silver Wing Legion officers, they are also preferred according to the number of combat merits.

These people can now skip the level where other would-be knights continue to accumulate their insights and become knights in three months.

"Let these people pack up their things and set off immediately, and report to Miracle City."

"Yes, sir."

The commander of the Silver Wing Legion was still a little distressed when he saw that Resel had selected the thirty best junior officers under him in this way, but the Hunter family's army was not a warlord army, and Richard gave an order, let alone draw people, even if the Silver Wing Legion was disbanded on the spot, it could only be done.

Richard then led Ressell to gather the first group of trainers in the Sun Legion and the Griffin Legion, which were slightly closer. Now return to Miracle City, let Rysel wait for all the personnel to arrive and start the crusader training, and after three months, these trained crusaders will return to their respective legions, that is, more than a hundred knights, supplemented into grassroots officers, over time, the proportion of knights in the Hunter family's army will exceed the Praetorian Guards in the royal capital, and become like orcs, and it is not impossible for each hundred-man team to have a knight-level master.

Rysel is also a workaholic, and soon after Richard finished picking up soldiers, he hurried to the newly renovated training camp to prepare for a few pleasant afternoon tea in the Duke's Mansion in Miracle City.

Richard's salted fish didn't last long, and his cavalry general, Adelaide, soon found him.

"Lord Richard!"

Although Adelaide is not a legendary hero, but can mix from an elite knight to a hero level also has a certain ability, not to mention the strength of the peak of the personal earth, there is definitely a hand in the use of cavalry, this time has put forward a lot of effective reform plans for Richard's cavalry training, although it is only a small repair, but occasionally there are still ideas that make Richard's eyes shine, so Adelaide's visit, Richard still attaches more importance to it.

"General Adelaide, don't be so polite, sit down and talk about something."

Richard pointed to Adelaide at his table and motioned for Adelaide to take a seat, but Adelaide was clearly not in the habit of sitting on an equal footing with the monarch, and stood still and explained to Richard what he meant.

"My lord, I found that the number of light cavalry in our territory is seriously insufficient, and there are some problems with the tactics."

"Oh? Tell me more about it. ”

"Our light cavalry is currently too fast, mainly light equipment, in fact, this is a bit wasteful, now although we lack heavy horses, but qualified light horses are not lacking, we can talk about cavalry infantry, infantry cavalry."

Adelaide said that the heavy war horse should be the western horse, although the people of the Hunter family have already begun to cultivate the introduced western horse, but this is a slow work, it will take some time to fully equip the cavalry, now the Hunter family's heavy cavalry is one thousand, the Red Flame Knights have expanded to one hundred and fifty people, and the rest are light cavalry riding the war horse in the north.

Although Adelaide's words were a bit tongue-in-cheek, Richard still basically understood what he meant, and seemed to remember something important under Adelaide's reminder, and his interest suddenly increased.

At Richard's signal, Adelaide continued:

"Our light cavalry should be trained in the same infantry as the infantry, and when going to battle, they should not only be equipped with thin armor, but soldiers with heavy armor and strong crossbows should be able to fight on their horses and dismount in formation. They can seize the key points with high mobility that surpasses ordinary infantry, and can pursue them on their horses and siege them when they dismount. ”

The more Richard listened to this set of tactics, the more familiar he became, in fact, the early Eight Banners were this kind of cavalry equipped with several battles, rather than light cavalry with a single function.

It's naturally a good thing to make such a cavalry, at least you can get an elite that is fast enough to move, but will this be a little more demanding for the soldiers?

Adelaide seemed to see Richard's doubts, and said to Richard with confidence.

"My lord, as long as I mobilize some more war horses and qualified soldiers, I have the confidence to train the army."

Tsk, obviously bringing more than 10,000 cavalry is not the limit of Adelaide's ability, and Adelaide, who can be promoted from an elite knight to a hero, also has a positive appeal, which is to add tasks to himself.

This kind of thing, of course, Richard will not allow it, although the western horses are not enough, but after controlling the wilderness, there is still no shortage of high-quality northern war horses, although the northern war horses are a little shorter than the western horses, and the weight is also a lot worse, but it is not without advantages, at least it is not so noble and the endurance is not bad, but it is quite suitable for long-distance running.

"You go to Chief Egger to replenish your cavalry corps with 20,000 recruits, and I will ask the Demon Suppression City to deploy the war horses, but I said in advance, there are not many recruits in the north who can ride horses since childhood, but I hope you can make them quickly form combat effectiveness."

Richard's request sounded a bit excessive, training people with no equestrian foundation into cavalry was not something that could be done quickly, and Richard also asked for rapid formation of combat effectiveness.

But Adelaide
