Chapter 80: Plan Ahead

Since the gate of time and space has been destroyed, the elven army is temporarily unable to attack Hammondale again, and the arrival of High Priest Ryan and the four angels has also confirmed the correctness of the lord's plan, the empire has received timely information about the elves' attack on Hammondal, and has also sent reinforcements to carry out rescue operations.

Now what the lord has to do is to hold on and wait for help.

To this end, the lord made a series of arrangements.

The first is for the sorceress to periodically use the Magic Eye to monitor Hammondal's path to the forests of Turalea.

This is a very important matter, and the lord doesn't want the elven army to have been killed under his nose, but he still doesn't know it, and he will die in a daze.

Although he has little military experience, the lord is quite aware of the importance of intelligence in military warfare.

The second thing is that the lord has three guards who can ride horses on the three silver pegasus that they have captured, and search the territory of Hammondale to see if there is a second space-time portal.

Although this possibility is very small, it has to be guarded against, the elven kingdom has a lot of money, and it is not impossible to build a spare space-time gate in Hammondaldo.

It is worth mentioning that one of the three soldiers is the Orison, the big-eared monster who has just joined the Guard. Orison's origins are very extraordinary, his grandfather was once a general of the Wolf Cavalry Regiment of the Krurod Empire, not only is he excellent in martial arts, but he also knows how to tame the wolf to become an obedient mount.

However, when Orison's grandfather offended a great nobleman in the empire and was convicted to death, Orison's father fled Krurod with his family, and eventually settled in Diya.

It's a pity that Diya doesn't have the existence of a bad wolf, and it is impossible for a foreign big-eared monster family Diya's big-eared monster king to care more, so Orison's family declined, and in Orison's generation, although the martial arts are also outstanding, and the skill of taming wolves has not fallen, but it can only be helpless to be a big and small leader in the army of big-eared monsters.

Orison was very motivated, not only did he know how to tame wolves, but he also learned to tame the mounts of the Big-Eared Cavalry of Diya, a giant wild boar that infested the border between Eli and Diya, and he also secretly learned to ride a horse by chance.

After learning that the lord was going to send someone out on a pegasus to find the enemy's time and space portal, Orison was the first to sign up.

This time, of course, there were many people who opposed Orison's volunteering, and some wondered if the big-eared monster was trying to take this opportunity to kidnap a silver pegasus and escape back to Diya.

But the lord ignored these objections, and instead sent Orison the first to send out without saying a word.

When everyone objected again, the lord just said lightly: "Don't doubt the use of people, don't use suspicious people, I have confidence in Orison, he will come back!" ”

The third thing is that the lord has gathered a large number of militia and volunteers to train with the guards recruits.

To say that the lord doesn't care about some potential force would be a lie. If it weren't for the edict of the Empire, if it weren't for the fact that the lord is relatively poor now and can't afford to raise so many soldiers, the lord would have received all these people into the lord's guard.

In such troubled times, strong force is indispensable.

Now that the castle was gone, and the walls of the town had lost their proper role due to the presence of the opposing air force and the fact that it was not yet usable, it was of course a matter of course to have enough troops to fight the enemy face to face, and the blacksmith shop of Old Saida was now in full swing for the reserve militia, which numbered eight hundred and fifty-seven men in all.

Under the aura of victory that the lord repelled the invaders twice, and in the slogans shouted by the lord to defend the country, these young adults who were already enthusiastic about training were extremely enthusiastic.

Moreover, the lord promised that the most well-trained people would be added to the lord's guard, and become a glorious soldier of the lord's guard, fighting alongside the lord in the days to come.

This commitment made the militia and volunteers even more diligent in training.

After the battle, the lord issued a decree. In this decree, the lord bestowed the title of "martyr" on the fallen soldiers, and promised to build a martyr's monument to these "martyrs" in the town after the end of the war, to recognize the heroic deeds of these warriors who gave their precious lives to defend Hammondal, and to give future generations a place to pay their respects, so that the place where they fought will be remembered for generations to come.

This practice not only comforted the families of the martyrs to a great extent, but also reinvigorated the enthusiasm of the people of Hammondale to join the army.

Fighting with the lord to defend his homeland and fighting the enemy, he also has a good salary, and is respected by the lords, and even if he dies in battle, he can become a "martyr" that future generations will never forget.

Young people who are hot-blooded and impulsive, hoping to become heroes one day, simply cannot refuse such a temptation.

While admiring the lord's sensational methods, the lord's unique training method also opened the eyes of High Priest Ryan again, and Ryan, who was also a leading general, silently observed the training of the soldiers and figured out the intentions.

Soon, the experienced Ryan found that although this training method could not improve the soldiers' martial arts and individual combat effectiveness much, it had an unparalleled effect on the discipline and obedience of the army, as well as the improvement of the physical fitness of the soldiers, and thus greatly improved the power of group cooperation, which was a must.

The lord didn't notice Ryan's stealing of teachers, and he couldn't have imagined that the training method he had copied from his military training career in the school could make Ryan, who has the title of hero, be so highly evaluated.

On the contrary, the captain of the half-elf guard in charge of training was very dissatisfied with the behavior of High Priest Ryan watching him train soldiers on the sidelines, and he politely reminded Ryan several times not to affect his training, but the other party just pretended to be stupid and ignored it, and still went his own way.

The half-elves also have nothing to do with each other, who let the other party be an imperial hero, an imperial earl, and an imperial high priest? His status is much more noble than that of the lord, and he can't afford to offend.

And the behavior of the High Priest of Ryan deliberately getting close to the female magician during this period of time also made the half-elf very dissatisfied, he had long seen that the lord seemed to have a special affection for his personal magic advisor, and now that the high priest of Ryan was doing this, wasn't it just a rival in love with the lord to rob the woman?

Although the Imperial Priests were only responsible for spreading magic, not the clergy who could not get married, the High Priest of Ryan, who had always felt that the half-elves, was really a Shi identity in doing so.

But the half-elf doesn't want to meddle in emotional matters, so let it be, he believes that if the lord really has that kind of meaning to the female magician, the female magician will never refuse, I don't see that she is simply obedient to the lord now, and she is very well-behaved, is she always tired of being around the lord when she has nothing to do? It was as if she had changed from her previous coldness to the lord, and if she wasn't still indifferent to the others, I'm afraid that the half-elf would think that the female magician had been transferred.

Shaking his head to drive away his thoughts, the half-elf's eyes drifted to a few Angel warriors watching the excitement on the sidelines - these guys, like Ryan, came to see the militia practice when they had nothing to do.

If you can find a way to let these Angel Clan warriors pass on their clever martial arts to themselves for one or two moves, I think that my martial arts will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, and then teach them to the soldiers, then the combat effectiveness of the Lord Guard will definitely increase a lot!

The thought suddenly flashed through the half-elf's mind.
