Chapter 279: The New Legion and the King's Affairs

"Good practice."

"It's because the source of soldiers is too good, and my subordinates don't dare to take credit."

Answering the phone on the side was the commander of the Sun Legion, Elit, who had just taken office, and he was only in his twenties, which was one of the characteristics of Hunter's family, or one of the characteristics of a new rising force, that is, the backbone was young.

Elite was also one of the early students of the Ironwood Academy, graduating from the Ironwood Academy to play for the Hunter family before the Hunter family even rose.

From the captain of the old city guard army to the flag leader of the first banner regiment of the Flying Bear Army, he was also the most talented group of the early Ironwood City Academy, and successfully stepped into the knight rank under Richard's key training and resource tilt, and this time the newly formed Sun Legion, Richard transferred it back from the Flying Bear Army to serve as the commander.

It is said that the rise of the Hunter family is too fast, even if Richard has paved the way for several years to accelerate the cultivation of talents and establish a development system, the starting point of the Hunter family is still too low, and the steps are a bit big, so far, the Hunter family has only achieved the basic officers of the quasi-knight level, but to the senior officers such as the corps commander can only be served by knights, and it does not meet the standards of the kingdom's elite legions, even the Jingbei Army of the former Lanster family, the officers of the rank of the corps commander have to be held by big knights,

But now the knights are okay to say, more resources are tilted, and the approved knight with the best talent can always pop up, but the level of the big knight is not something that can be cultivated by himself in a short time, and now under Richard, in addition to the soldiers of the hero invincible system, there are also knightless knights who have taken refuge in foreign countries, and the knights they have cultivated have reached nearly double digits, but the best talent among them has just reached the middle level of knights, and it will take at least a few years of accumulation to start to emerge big knights.

Now the Flying Bear, the Tiger and the Leopard, including the Burning Sun Legion, and several legions, compared with the elite legions of the kingdom, the advantage is still in the basic soldiers and officers, the will to fight and discipline are stronger, and in terms of the number of strong people, they still suffer some losses, at least the army of the Hunter family can't do every knight, and barely half of it can only be done.

As for Viscount Sauter and his two uncles, Richard still knew in his heart, it was okay for them to command hundreds of thousands of men to fight and charge, but if they really had to be entrusted with a heavy task, it would definitely be a mess to command an army of tens of thousands.

"No matter how good the source of soldiers is, you also have a share of the credit, I heard that since the first batch of recruits arrived, you have never stepped out of the barracks."

"Subordinates should do it."

Richard gave Elliert a few more words of encouragement, and then they made their rounds together and agreed.

The main body of the newly built Sun Legion is still stationed outside the city, after all, Ironwood City is only a city of tens of thousands of people, and it is still a bit crowded to put a whole legion directly in the city, and it is not wartime.

After the army has been recruited, the change of equipment has been completed, the standard weapons and cloth armor have been distributed to the soldiers, and the assembly and use of the partial box car and the operation of the strong crossbow and the bear hunting crossbow have begun to be trained.

Now that Hunter's family has a bigger plate, it is much more generous than before, and when the army was expanded in the past, people often waited for equipment, but now as soon as the army is expanded, the equipment can be completed immediately.

Although the soldiers have only been training for a few days, they already look decent, and even if they practice for a month, they should have the strength to fight.

In this era, the training of recruits took at least three or four months, and the training cycle was more than half a year to really form sufficient combat effectiveness, but this cycle was to train a peasant who had just put down his hoe to the level of a professional soldier who could kill people with a knife handle.

And the recruits of the Sun Legion are basically from the old territory of the Hunter family and the territory of Will Leader, Bender Leader, and Nader Leader, which were absorbed into the Hunter family's preparation system at an early stage.

All the soldiers were led by the sheriff during the slack time, and received more professional military training, so naturally they could not be regarded as starting from scratch, and the basic queues and the use of weapons were quite familiar.

The grass-roots officers are also experienced veterans of other units and graduates of the Ironwood City Academy, and their quality is above the level line, and Elliert is indeed a capable legion commander, so he can build the Burning Sun Legion in less than a week.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The training of the soldiers is quite serious, and the initiative is strong, the Hunt family recruits no shortage of soldiers, there is no reluctance to force to join, they are all the kind of people who take the initiative to join the army and have to pick and choose, compared with the soldiers who are forcibly conscripted in some places, the initiative is naturally stronger.

Although I can still trust Elett, I still say that first put the supervision in place, don't test human nature,

Richard checked the food of the soldiers as usual, asked the soldiers about the amount of money and food they received every month, and then randomly took the weapons of several soldiers to check the quality, and then completed the inspection of the Sun Legion, turned around and returned to the Iron Wood Fort to rest, the price of using a god-killing ring is too great, Richard estimates that it will take at least half a month for him to recover, and if he comes often, I am afraid that it will cause some irreversible damage to the body, so I must use it with caution in the future, and it is best not to have the opportunity to use it again.

The royal capital

In a side hall of the palace, the attendants had already withdrawn from the house, and only Wren and Harris, the leader of the Black Prison, were left in the hall.

"Where did the red dragon that appeared under my son-in-law come from?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, the Black Prison has used all its strength, and it is still not clear where Lord Richard's Red Dragon came from."

"What about the Sky Knight in Ironwood City."

"Except for Lord Richard, it can only be confirmed that one of them is the current Pope of the Rising Sun Cult, and the others have no relevant information."

Wren asked calmly, but Harris answered more and more coldly, after things kept popping up from Richard's side, Harris's mood became worse and worse, and the red dragon and the strong man on Richard's side were all like suddenly appearing, and they couldn't be checked out of thin air, so that Harris was trembling when he spoke in front of Wren now.

"I can't find it, I can't find it, so why should I raise a black prison?"

"Your Majesty forgives you."

"Bang! Check it out! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The strength that Richard is showing now is no longer something that Wren can easily move, at most he will send someone to inquire, and his tone will not be too heavy, and Richard will pass it with a little perfunctory.

Of course, Wren didn't want to move Richard's mind, when it comes to means, Wren is definitely a qualified old coward, when to do something, he won't do things casually, it's just that the superior's natural desire to control prompts him to explore the secrets of Hunter's collar...

"Your Majesty, there is one more piece of information."

"Say!"

Wren's tone was not very good, although he continued to rely on Harris to manage the Black Prison, but it was obvious that Wren was a little dissatisfied with Harris and the Black Prison's performance this time.

"I've found some evidence of Lord Richard's assassination before."

"Huh?"

"There is definite evidence that this matter is related to Jaime, the new head of the Lancet family, and they are suspected of colluding with the Cult of the Rising Sun."

Wren didn't show the anger he deserved after hearing this, a high-ranking nobleman colluded with the kingdom's sworn enemy to assassinate another high-ranking nobleman, and he was still a meritorious person, which should have been a heinous crime, but Wren was very calm, his fingers kept pointing on the table, as if he was thinking about something.

"How many people still know about this?"

"This is a one-line piece of intelligence, the key person is still in the dungeon of the black prison, and I am personally responsible for interrogation, ensuring that no one else knows."

"Go back and dispose of the person, don't let the third person know about it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Harris is only responsible for carrying out Wren's orders, never asking why, which is one of the key qualities that he can keep in charge of the Black Prison for a long time.

"Red Dragons, Dragon Knights, Sky Knights, Cult of the Rising Sun, and Orcs..."

When Harris left, Wren sat alone in his chair, closed his eyes and muttered...
