Chapter 239: Tyr's Hand
As a lord, little Ferding himself felt ashamed to make the territory like this, but the Paladin's character did not allow him to lie, so he could only tell the truth.
What? Vanessa's eyes are a little glazed, it's just three horses?! As soon as I said that I was going to form a cavalry unit, you immediately told me that there were only three horses left, and they were all the leaders' horses! Are you kidding me?
She rubbed her forehead, war horses are important military supplies, and there are only hundreds of them in her hands, which is the result of looting in the south for nearly half a year.
Her generals and commanders all need war horses, and a large number of war horses need to be rationed to scouts, so it can be said that there are not many war horses left.
Seeing that she wanted to turn her family into a country, she was not stingy: "I will solve the problem of war horses, I have a group of war horses in the western wilderness, the number is not much, about one hundred and fifty horses can be transported, will you train?" ”
Cavalry is also a professional service, and she can't be trained by a modern person. The lone hero Kishan has always been an infantry and archer in the army, and equestrianism can't be said no, but a southerner, riding is somewhat meaningless, and Vanessa doesn't want to leave all the training tasks to one person.
The Knights of the Silver Hand was handed over to Old Fording to form, an elite unit composed entirely of paladins, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the capital of the country, and it must be led by the legendary paladins.
The next level of troops is the cavalry, and she is going to hand over all the cavalry to Little Ferding for training, and it remains to be seen who will lead it at that time.
"Your Highness, even if the war horse is sent to the Northland, it will take some time to adapt to the climate here, and we still need to prepare at least a few months of forage." Little Ferding is talking about us, but what he really means is 'you have a few months to prepare the forage'......
Vanessa feels a toothache and uses a boat to carry hay? It's insane! War horses are much more difficult to serve than people, the forage can not be compacted, it is not eaten after compaction, it must be kept in a soft state, a bag of forage is actually not much at all, and the horse's food is far greater than that of people, secretly calculated, and calculated according to half a year, the forage for six months, her fleet needs to be transported back and forth several times.
"Okay...... Well, I'll figure it out in the past few months, one hundred and fifty war horses is definitely not enough, we must have at least three thousand cavalry, and the Knights of the Silver Hand also need war horses, and their war horses are more demanding...... Ay! Lord Fording, I can go to the human countries to buy war horses, but I don't know how to raise horses, can I open up some pasture here in Hearthdale? ”
Vanessa planned to even smuggle it and borrow it, gritting her teeth, she estimated that she would be able to make it up.
However, the war horse still needs the cooperation of Little Fuding, the territory is his, and the king has no right to interfere in the specific affairs of the territory, destroy the existing farmland, and establish grassland, which requires a certain amount of courage.
Little Ferding was surprised by Vanessa's financial resources, Lordaeron has been dead for five years, and you still have money in your hands?
He was very excited, as a soldier, who doesn't like cavalry.
However, there are some problems with the reality.
"The Valley of the Hearth used to be farmland, and His Highness is willing to spend financial resources to raise cavalry, of course I support it, now that the population is insufficient, it is okay to open up a few grasslands, but the climate of the Plague Land is very strange, and the plants here grow very slowly."
It's so easy to do! Vanessa waited for him to say this, and that's not what she was doing, not in the western wilderness, but in the north, to fight the Forsaken?
As in the Twilight Forest, she had a much larger pyre built this time, and then used her own flames to set it on fire.
"Purify the surrounding land with flames! As long as the land is not eroded by the undead, the land of Fireplace Valley will be restored to its original state! Her tone this time was very resolute, not a consultation, not an inquiry, but an order.
Little Fording immediately took the order, knowing that the cost of transporting forage from the south was enormous, and that opening up pastures for horses in the Valley of the Hearth was one thing that had to be done, and there was nothing to question about it.
Setting fires and burning forests is really not a big deal.
It just so happens that those fanatical soldiers and civilians have nothing to do, so let them go and cut down trees! When the body is tired, the mental excitement will also be reduced.
The trees around the Valley of the Hearth can provide some defense for humans, but it is also a good hiding area for the undead who have no body temperature, burning the surrounding woodland into wasteland, and it is clear to both sides that it is not conducive to defense.
Didn't say it, burn it!
The Valley of the Hearth is located in a small corner, and it is nothing compared to the entire Lordaeron hometown.
Looking at the flames burning around her, Vanessa carefully felt the subtle changes in the natural environment, and she nodded with satisfaction.
Summoning the Heartbreaker General and asking him to lead a fleet to transport horses and forage from the Western Wilderness to this side, Vanessa looked at the fireplace valley everywhere, felt good, and went back to sleep!
Old Ferding was her intended military commander, which was indisputable, but she and Galia were two weak women, facing the father and son of Ferdin, who held a large army, and this matter was not conducive to the stability of the country.
The father and son can live by the rules of the paladin and keep their oaths, but the people around them are not easy to say, there is no need to test human nature, Vanessa has to continue to play balance.
She enters the Emerald Dream and tries to use the magical power of the dream to try to communicate with another important leader of the Scarlet Crusade.
......
The Valley of the Hearth is located in the Western Plaguelands, and after Ethan Lion's perverse actions, it has been relegated from the original base camp to the awkward position of a sub-base, and the headquarters of the Scarlet Crusade at this stage is the City of Light, the Hand of Tyr, located in the southeast valley of the Eastern Plaguelands.
This area is not small, consisting of the Hand of Tyr, Havenshire, and New Avalon, and has been firmly controlled by humans since the outbreak of the Scourge of the Dead.
The Hand of Tyr is a powerful military fortress, Haven is a city inhabited by civilians and artisans, and New Avalon is a recently opened land, located in the easternmost part of the region, where the Scarlet Crusaders have built a sizable port.
Hand of Tyr and Tyran. Fordin's Hearthvael, like the Valley of the Hearth, was originally the domain of Lord Wadmar, who gave his fief to the Scarlet Crusaders, but he did not lose his power because of this, and he received the title of Crusader Lord, and the Scarlet Crusaders' Grand General Alfred. Abidis jointly manages the Hand of Tyr, one of them is in charge of territorial affairs, the other is in charge of foreign wars, and they get along fairly harmoniously.
It was thanks to the close cooperation between the two that the Hand of Tyr, originally known as the City of Light, was given a good chance to breathe, and a large number of civilians of Lordaeron gathered here. With 10,000 soldiers and 20,000 civilians, the Hand of Tyr was the largest military force of the Scarlet Crusaders at this stage.
