Brando was depressed for a moment, but then rejoiced, and suddenly it occurred to him that although Beru and Tamar of this era were not the best in the whole of Vaynd, they were still first-class masters in Eruin. In the past year, with the support of the two of them, the two elite troops in the territory have been armed with two elite troops, the Wind Shooter and the White Lion Guard, and now, the armament of this small place of Tonigel has long been among the best in the kingdom, which other lords have never dared to imagine before.

In the past six months, with the massive influx of refugees from all over the country during the War of the Black Roses, Brando began to have a large number of reserves in the training camps of Tonigel, and he could raise an army of no less size than the private armies of the nobles under Jean Denel or Duke Vieiro whenever he wanted. However, Brando came from later generations and personally experienced the epic and magnificent slate war, and he simply looked down on the so-called armies under the northern and southern aristocracy, and in his opinion, the army below the third order could only be called a militia regiment, which could be responsible for local security, and it was impossible to use it for war. It is for this reason that for Toniger, the issue of armaments has now become the main problem to prevent the expansion of the army, and only the non-commissioned officer corps of the White Lion Guards can wear inferior magical armor, and even the production of inferior ordinary white lion armor is still limited, and the fir territory is full of production of only more than 100 sets per month. The Wind Shooter was even stricter, as the Wind Shooter had to match the Wind Shooter chain mail and longbow, and due to the limited production, the expansion of this army was surprisingly slow.

For this question, Antitina and Curlan both felt that Brando's idea was too naïve, and could even be said to be a kind of profligacy, which was purely to pile up an army with money, but the staff lady thought deeper, and she faintly thought that her lord might care about the opinion of Her Royal Highness the Princess, after all, an elite army of more than a thousand people sounded much more reassuring in name than an army of thousands of other nobles. Brando's reputation for this 'profligacy' soon spread among his own men. Even Yoda and several of their former mercenary group leaders privately discussed whether this lord was too deeply influenced by the Buga people, but how could the wealth of mortals be comparable to that of wizards? What happens if the crystal deposits in the Black Forest are exhausted? This kind of discussion once became noisy, and even the red bronze dragon Leto came to persuade him.

Brando also smiled bitterly at this, fortunately he didn't dare to tell these people his true purpose, otherwise he wouldn't have scared them all to death. In his plan, the core force of Eruin's future army was the White Lion Infantry. It is also the foundation of the Eruin army, which is equivalent to the second-tier local army with the largest base in the Eruin Kingdom. As for the fourth, fifth, and sixth order troops in the back, they also have to find a way to cultivate, as Eruin's characteristic elite army, now he has the quasi-fourth order army of the Wind Archer in his hands, if he can persuade the centaurs to join his army, and then he can get the blueprint of the armor and halberd of the Silver Crown Guardian from Elranta, as long as he has a little training, Eruin will have a real fourth-order army; The fifth-order army is sure that the Druid's Elder Guard or the Ancient Tree Guardian will not be able to join his chariot if they are too old-fashioned. It is safer to consider from Naga, although the four-armed Kraken and the Poseidon Guard are weaker than most of the fifth-order troops on land, but after all, they are also a type of fifth-order troops, the important thing is that Naga has no core conflict of interest with the landers at all, and the kingdom has a fleet that can be their staunchest ally at sea, and Naga should not be stingy with the troops in his hands, Eruin can hire these overseas troops in the name of mercenary, he chose to ally with the Grayfin Naga in the first place. And after the First World War of Ampesel, the empire must exchange the design drawings of the frigates, in fact, there have been plans for this for a long time.

With the fourth-order and fifth-order troops, the strength of Eruin should be comparable to that kingdom in the era of the Ancestral Monarch Eck. At that time, Her Royal Highness the Princess can rely on the military power of the central government to subdue the whole country, so that the power of the kingdom is highly unified, so as to realize the transformation from local feudal to centralized power. As for the sixth-order troops, Brando doesn't have a clue at the moment, and there is only one type of silver elf temple guard in Eruin's history above the sixth order. And there are no more than a hundred, and his only hope now is Valhalla's power. But once Eruin has a sixth-order class, then he can already be inferior in front of Madara in terms of strength, after all, Madara is not the only enemy facing Eruin, and it is impossible for it to fight against the threat of such a frontier land with all its strength. Once Eruin had such power, he could force Madara to turn his expansion to other realms, and the ancient kingdom would return to its heyday.

But these plans were undoubtedly fantastical for Antitina, who saw the Kingdom of Eruin as a relatively independent kingdom around Cruz, whose military strength was not weak, but not strong either. You must know that in the Cruz Empire in the north, although the basic arms of the four major legions under the direct control of the central government are the fourth-order Imperial Guard, in fact, the third-order imperial noble cavalry and the second-order imperial spearmen are still the main force in the aristocratic private army and local garrison troops that account for the largest proportion of the empire's total strength, and these local troops are facing the same problem as the kingdom, that is, the long-standing training process of the peace guide zhì is low and the discipline is broken, except for a small number of border areas, The armies in most parts of the empire have more or less such problems, and in the evaluation of the Flame Temple, the combat effectiveness evaluation of the imperial noble cavalry has fallen below the lower limit several times in the past two years and is on par with the second-order troops.

Of course, the empire also has fifth-order Pegasus Knights, fifth-order Holy Grail Knights, sixth-order sword-wielding crusaders, sixth-order holy oil knights and temple ascetics, and even royal griffins, royal astrologers, temple priests and other more than seventh-order troops, as well as high-level high-level powers such as the Flame Knights and above, but these armies are all deterrent forces, and the number is often small, and just like the huge empires of Faenzan and St. Osor, high-level troops are the prerogatives of the empire and a game between great powers. Once the troops above the sixth order are owned by a small country like Eruin, it is basically to change the current order of the continent, why Eru is so famous, even the Bugas have paid attention to such a small kingdom, it is precisely because he once had a complete system of white lion infantry and temple guards.

But it was only a flash in the pan, and nearly ten centuries have passed. Nothing like this has ever happened in Vaynd's history.

Therefore, whether it is Antitina, Curran, or the mercenary captains under Brando, they have not thought about these aspects at all, they only feel that their lords are a little too idealistic, and elite soldiers are good. But that's too much. Brando didn't bother to explain to them, his goal was never in the moment, and such a goal of purging the country was no longer worth mentioning in his opinion, the nobility of the north seemed to be a great threat, but with the growth of Valhalla, it was just a chicken, and whether Eruin could build such an army was related to whether the kingdom could finally get out of its predetermined destiny in the future, which was the most important thing.

Brando never forgot that the decaying nobles of Eruin had brought the kingdom to ruin, but it was the ones who had really brought it to ruin. It's the dangerous enemy that is rising to the east.

He is in power, arbitrary, unhurried to carry out his army expansion plan, but under the surface of the stability of his heart is actually better than a day, time does not stop waiting for anyone, in fact, all kinds of signs on the surface of the development of history instead of stopping to wait for him but because of his arrival developed more rapidly, Eruin surrounding countries have begun to move, but the development of his territory is still slow. Antitina saw this, and secretly reminded him to relax his requirements. It was only right to expand the army as much as possible, but he didn't understand. But the question is, what's the point of recruiting those cannon fodder?

They simply didn't understand what kind of opponent Eruin was facing.

The kingdom is still looking at the coming era of war and chaos with the same old eyes, but in fact, Madara, Cruz, and even the Wind Elves and Faenzan are all rapidly completing military reforms in the era of upheaval before the arrival of the Great Demonic Tide, with the Bromandal Rose in the darkness leading the way, and the Faenzan people following closely behind. Next came St. Osor, who was a direct enemy of Mardara, and the Cruz people finally completed the reform under the auspices of Lenarat the Great, and thus suffered the greatest loss in the war. But he is an empire, and the foundation of the empire and the strong support of the Flame Sanctuary allowed it to fail for a while, but Eruin did not have this strong strategic depth.

The only thing Eruin could learn was Madara. You must take a step ahead of others, otherwise you will only perish.

This war was a harbinger, and the real beginning of wind and rain originated from the Second War of the Black Roses three years later, but that was what happened in history, and Brando did not dare to guarantee that the Second War of the Black Roses of this era would not start earlier. But in this war with the Blood Staff, he must do his best to find out how big the gap is between the kingdom and the Madara of this era, of course, it is best to give Madara a warning, so that the other party feels that the kingdom is not so weak and deceitful, then those skeletons may have more time to think before choosing to launch the Second War of the Black Roses.

Every minute of time is a hope of salvation for Eruin.

Therefore, Brando had to be cautious and strengthen himself as much as possible before the war, and now the addition of a group of master craftsmen like Babu undoubtedly injected him with a shot in the arm, and he was simply overjoyed. Tonigal suddenly had more than a dozen craftsmen at the same level as Beru and Tamar, and that meant that the output - especially the production of magical equipment had increased exponentially, and the meaning of this increase meant that the first step of his plan could finally be put on the right track.

Make the White Lion Guards the foundation of the Kingdom's central army.

Brando thought for a while before he came back to his senses, as if he had come to his senses from a long period of thought, before asking, "Lord Babu, can the Valulun Warrior Hall be operational now?" ”

"As long as there are materials, they can be at any time." Báb replied.

Brando immediately took out a set of white lion armor from the dimensional cave, pointed to the armor and asked Babu, "Lord Babu, how long does it take you to produce a hundred sets of armor like this?" Brando took out the unenchanted white lion armor, Babu only glanced at it, shook his head contemptuously and said: "We won't produce this kind of armor, I don't think this kind of papier-mâché armor has no value at all." ”

Brando couldn't help but shout in his heart, thinking that although this set of armor was a little shabby, it was also the latest double hinge armor designed by Berau, and the defense of up to 5 was not even superior in the tabula rasa armor, but he didn't expect it to be like a paper paste in Babu's eyes. Just kidding, why don't you take a piece of paper and paste a set of plate armor for me to see? He was guilty in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest abnormality on his face, and took out a set of enchantment armor for non-commissioned officers and asked, "What about this?" ”

"Barely visible." "I remember that I once made a set of toys for my son, and it was about the same as this one," replied the Báb. ”

Brando almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, he finally understood, it turned out that although the experience and level of these giant craftsmen were limited, their knowledge was still very high, and they were simply evaluating these armors with the eyes of their own time. So according to the eyes of the era when the cloud giant still existed on the earth, the white lion armor of the tabula rasa can indeed only be regarded as papier-mâché. I'm afraid these giant craftsmen were surprised before, they probably have never seen armor unenchanted before, this is simply too bad.

Brando suddenly felt a sense of frustration that was despised by the local tyrants, and couldn't help but say weakly: "Lord Babu, how many of these armors can you make, I urgently need such armor to arm my army now." ”

"Your lordship, you should call me a craftsman," replied the Báb. Although he is a figure with eyes above the top, he is not a fool who does not understand the world, and when he saw Brando's expression, he probably guessed what kind of mistake he had made, and hurriedly replied: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, the forging technology of these armors is really simple for us, and it should be no problem to build two thousand sets of such armor in a month." ”

Brando was stunned, he looked at the entire Valulun Warrior Hall, and then at Babu. If it weren't for the other party's fame, he probably felt that this guy must be fooling him. Such a hall. Is it possible that a dozen or so craftsmen, even if they are divine craftsmen, can they create two thousand sets of magic armor in a month, even the lowest kind? Even if Beru and Tamar do it themselves, it will take at least half a month for the two of them to complete an armor, you must know that the output of the fir territory is not only supported by the two of them, and there are a large number of craftsmen from refugees from all over the country in the fir castle.

"Two thousand sets. More than a dozen of you? He asked, a little dryly.

"Oh, that's not it," Babu shook his head, "Your Lord, you're sorry, there are many Immortal Craftsmen in this hall besides us, and we can harness the Heroic Spirits to work for this warrior hall." Although the scale of this hall is still very shabby, two thousand sets of magical armor of that level a month is still no problem. ”

After Babu's explanation, Brando realized that this Valuluran warrior hall was similar to Monica's Vortex of Light, and it could also harness the Heroic Spirit to work. However, unlike the lair of the Vortex of Light, the Warrior Hall can only have more artisans when it expands, and Babu is the leader of these artisans. He became excited, two thousand sets of white lion armor every month are still enchanted, which means that the white lion army can finally expand its recruitment on a large scale, although the newly expanded army source may not be as reliable as the veterans, but as long as you wear these enchanted armor, at worst you have the strength of the second-order troops, otherwise why did the third-order noble cavalry of the Cruz people degenerate into such a second-order strength? Isn't it just relying on equipment, the magic equipment that the local troops of the empire and the private armies of the nobles can afford, and now the basic troops of Eruin can finally be popularized, although this requires a lot of money, but at least the problem that money can solve so far is not enough for Brando for the time being.

After all, there are some things that money can't buy.

And as long as this production is tilted in half to the wind archers, then the army composed of fourth-order archers will soon be able to form an army, and even a little hurry, it seems that it is not impossible to double the number of people before the end of this war. An army of 1,200 archers composed of fourth-order troops, this is the year of the sword, Brando almost drooled down his face, but in order to avoid image damage, he hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth, causing Medisa on the side to sneer.

But at this time, discordant notes sounded in the hall. "Lord Lord, with all due respect, you are wasting the value of this sacred hall by creating these useless things, and there is no point." The voice of the person who spoke was rough and high-pitched, which provoked Brando to look back, only to find that the person who spoke was the magician named Gorju whom Métisa had mentioned earlier, and he had never heard of the name of this person, but after listening to the other party's disdainful tone, he understood that this guy's reputation among the cloud giants was probably no less than that of Babu, and he hurriedly asked, "What advice do you have?" ”

In fact, Brando was also a little depressed, of course he knew that it would be overkill for them to let these craftsmen create these 'toys', but the question was what could be done? On the one hand, he didn't have more advanced drawings and materials, and on the other hand, according to Babu, their level of experience was limited by Valhalla, and in fact, they were now about the same as Beru and Tamar, and according to Brando's idea, what they could do now to help Tonigel the most was to expand the size of the two elite troops as much as possible.

As for the rest, it may be possible for them to spend half a year or a few months working together to create an ancient or even fantasy-level equipment, but what is the point of that? He doesn't want someone's combat power.

Unexpectedly, Gorju shook his head: "Lord Lord, it seems that you still don't understand our true value to you," he paused for a moment, then pointed to Beru and Tamar not far away and replied: "We haven't returned to this land for a long time, and we don't know what has happened in Vahnde's history, but at least we understand that these two master-level craftsmen should not be uncommon in the world, even if they are everywhere, and if you want to recruit, ten or eight should be no problem-- Do you think that's all there is to this hall for you? ”

Brando was slightly stunned, realizing that this rough guy might have something to say, and he couldn't help but look at Babu on the side.

The craftsman of the gods nodded slowly, and said, "My lord, as I said before, this hall is called the Valulun Warrior Hall, and it is a resting place for warriors in mythology, and providing weapons and armor for warriors here is just a subsidiary function of it. ”

Brando finally reacted, and he suddenly became excited: "You mean, the forge is just one of the functions of this building...... Is it—Or is it a nest? ”

"The lair needs to be supported by a pool of mana, my lord." Babu shook his head.

"What does that mean exactly?" Brando was confused.

"So, my lord, have you ever heard of the name Valkyrie?"

Báb asked, word for word.
