92 Commander Marlan
As for me? Horse leather shroud, died on the battlefield!
Looking at the tall woman who walked over, Oryx couldn't help but hear this famous sentence from her original history in her mind.
Marlan has a beautiful face, and her shoulder-length short black hair is combed into a ponytail, and she looks very heroic.
"Greetings, saint." Marlan approached, fell to one knee, and bowed humbly.
She is not called Oryx a Count like ordinary soldiers, but a saint. Because she came for this status, willing to serve the saints and the army under the command of the saints who will fight for the Light.
The eldest daughter of a minor nobleman in Eastern Lordaeron, she has shown an extraordinary talent for divine magic since she was a child, and her belief in the Light is very religious. After his parents gave birth to a son, he joined the Order of the Silver Hand, trained as a trainee priest, and then trained hard to become a glorious paladin.
In the original history, when the Crusader Army, which was reorganized by the remnants of the Silver Hand, split into the Scarlet Crusaders and the Silver Dawn, she quickly became a high-ranking commander of the Scarlet Crusaders with her outstanding tactical skills and strong strength.
Oryx gestured to the chair in front of his desk, "Sit down." ”
"Yes." Marlan sat down stiffly. Her hair was wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead, and she was supposed to be training before she was called.
"What's it like to be a commander?" Oryx smiled and asked, "Do you think my decision was too child's play?" ”
After returning yesterday, he went around the barracks, and the progress in the formation of the private army was very gratifying.
First of all, all 3,000 soldiers have been conscripted and are being trained. And these 100 or so children of the nobility became officers at all levels according to the original distribution and according to the assessment results of the instructors sent by the Silver Hand.
Only senior officers have vacancies.
But this is not difficult for Oryx, the private army has almost snare the best of the young generation of paladins in the East Lordaeron region. The four beauties of Scarlet and the two Mograine brothers, these six alone account for a small half of the Scarlet Crusaders and Silver Dawn in later generations, which can fully meet the current needs.
Demithia and Sally Whitemane were appointed by him as the Master of the Army, training and selecting recruits who were not physically good but had divine magical talents, and led them to the path of Light.
It's an easy job at the moment, as people with relevant talents are not at all common, or even rarer, than magical talents. And he has long been caught by the Knights of the Silver Hand and the Holy Light Church, either becoming a probationary priest or a probationary paladin.
And if you have a divine spell talent and have good physical fitness, of course, it is better to train to be a paladin. There are very few conditions that meet both conditions.
However, with the development of the private army, there will be more and more devout followers who will come to the title of Oryx Saint, and the more devout they are, the more likely they are to have higher related talents, which is a two-way street.
Later, Marlan was put into the position of "commander of a thousand" by him, serving as the commander of a thousand-man force; So did Renaud Mograini.
The two were originally full members of the Knights of the Silver Hand, with the status equivalent of captains in the Lordaeron army, and since the Rivendell Private Army had received a special establishment for the regular army, both were now considered positions well above the ranks.
Although these young people are still untrained and inexperienced, they are far inferior to the ones who have grown up through hardships in their original history, but they still have that potential. Oryx believes that proper learning and training will eventually help them grow.
There is no shortage of good instructors in the private army. The instructors are either Fireplace Valley instructors sent by Tyran Fordin or sent by the Silver Hand, and the lineup can be called luxurious, but it is much stronger than the military.
As for Renault Mograini...... Oryx is in line with the attitude of not using suspicious people, but not using suspicious people.
In the original history, Renault killed his father. However, this issue still needs to be analyzed in detail.
His negative traits, such as competitiveness, jealousy, and narrow-mindedness, were slowly developed after the outbreak of the Third World War due to the high-pressure environment and neglect of his father. There are no signs in sight now, and it may not be possible to follow this old path.
And now there is no Banazar who occupies Dassohan to fuel his negative thoughts, and there is no Kel'thugad to deceive him.
The premise of the fall was not there, and the immediate cause no longer existed, and Oryx did not want to be so cautious as to waste such a talent. After all, Renaud Mograini is still largely inherited from his father's bravery, and has also received a standard military education since childhood, and his talent is very high.
That's what Oryx did yesterday.
Assign positions, continue to evaluate, and continue to observe...... When he returned, he heard that Renault was overjoyed and wrote a letter to his father informing him of the good news. Marlan, on the other hand, was terrified, believing that he did not possess the qualities of a commander.
He understands that too.
Women are often looked down upon, which is the shackles of the times. Known for her open-mindedness, Dalaran was the first female Guardian of Tirisfa to appear more than 800 years ago - and possibly the first female mage ever to be seen in human history!
Until then, as far as Oryx knew, there were either no female mages, or there were few female mages, and they simply did not have the same opportunities to learn magic as men.
Rao is like this, Egwen still relied on his own efforts to rewrite people's perception of female mages in that era, and proved to the world that women can be as strong as men, or even stronger, and can bear the same burden - this is true feminism!
Although more than 800 years have passed, the seven countries of mankind are still the same.
Even within the Knights of the Silver Hand in the service of the Light. This is also an inevitable thing, not deliberate discrimination, but an objective gap. Because women's physical fitness is often inferior to that of men, the number of female paladins is far less than that of male paladins.
But the number of female pastors is much greater than that of men. This is a very interesting question, and many people feel that women with softer hearts are often better able to harness the power of the Light.
Straight to the point.
Marlan was young, a few years younger than Bridget, had no illustrious background, and had previously been unknown in the Knights of the Silver Hand.
Oryx suddenly promoted her to commander, and of course she would be terrified.
"I didn't ...... No," Malan tucked her hair uneasily, "I just don't think I can do it. ”
"Are you worried that you won't be able to convince the public?" Oryx waved his hand at the servant, made him pour two glasses of water, pushed one of them in front of Marlan, and said as he took his own, "I am more inclined to train young people than experienced professional soldiers. No one is born to be good, and that's what you need to endure. ”
Marlan nodded, but still looked uneasy.
Oryx pondered for two seconds and said seriously, "I have seen your future. You have become an excellent commander, leading devout believers to brave the waves of the undead and achieve impressive results. ”
Hearing this, Marlan raised his head, his eyes flashing, "This is ...... Are you sure? ”
Oryx smiled, "What is the 253rd of the Precepts of the Knights of the Silver Hand?" ”
"Don't lie." Marlan replied without hesitation, and understood as soon as he had spoken.
"I never lie, including white lies. I see your potential, and I am confident that you will be the best commander I can be, for the Light, for Lordaeron, and for your own faith. ”
Marlan nodded heavily, as if convinced of his words, and really built up confidence and no longer worried about it.
Orix saw this in his eyes and thought to himself, these paladins who joined the Scarlet Crusade in the original history are really easy to convince......
"Okay, I have a task for you, so let's take it as an experience."
"Please say, I will work hard!" Marlan looked straight.
"I want you to lead the troops to protect the people who went to the mountains for development and prevent possible natural disasters." Oryx said.
Of course, he can't say that he is going to clean up the beasts that hurt people, that would inevitably discourage people's enthusiasm too much. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
