Chapter 64: My Army
Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info With the statements of El Andrégristes and Grand Master Milgan of the Griffons, Leo swept away the gloom of Rita and became a little excited, and he walked quickly back and forth under the throne, finally keeping his eyes on Finn's face
"In what we know about demons, their most powerful forces are the ones directly under and the Legion Commanders, the Demon Knights who form the backbone of the enemy's army, and the more powerful Terror Knights......"
Quietly, his right fist slammed into the breastplate, and the eyes of the Grand Master of the Punishment Knight were full of fierce battle intent
"Never ask who the enemy is under the Blade of Punishment, my lord! All your knights are ready to die for this holy war, and we can defeat them in Pande, and we can still do it here! ”
Leo nodded vigorously and turned back to his throne
"I never doubt my friend about this, but this time unlike Pande, our strength is relatively weak compared to the past, and this time, there is no support from those powerful legendary knights, and there is also no full force of several countries, so I hope that the weapons in your hands will be sharper than ever......"
After a pause, Leo's eyes showed a certain determination in his eyes, and he spoke in a deep voice
"After the meeting, send someone to inform all the nobles belonging to the principality, I need them to show their full strength, every lord must personally lead the army, if anyone dares to hide their strength, dare to deceive with lies, I don't mind dealing with them in a special way at a special time! In addition, before the war, all the knights owned by the noble lords were all uniformly organized, and under the leadership of the Swan Knights, they will cooperate with the Punishment Knights to fight against the main demon force! ”
After finishing speaking, perhaps feeling some surprise below, Leo continued without stopping
"I understand that this choice is very cruel, and even if the war is defeated, the principality will lose the chance to recover, but many of you should know very well that this is a war with no losers, only survival and destruction, the demons will never sign a peace agreement with you, and we, as human beings, will not forgive them either, sacrifice is inevitable, but I still hope that sacrifice can become more worthwhile, friends IMHO, including me in this war in the near future, No one's life is more noble than others! ”
After a brief silence, all the people in the palace under Finn's leadership knelt on one knee, and the Grand Master of the Punishment Knight was the first to speak
"The whole principality will listen to and obey your will, my lord"
********************
After asking some questions about the envoys led by Colin, Leo asked a few people to leave first, of course, in the face of the other party's eagerness, he made a very sincere promise, that is, his army will definitely appear outside the imperial capital in three months at most, and before that, even if the situation is extremely bad, Saru and Aioris must grit their teeth and persevere
For this kind of commitment or Facorin and the others, although they were anxious, they also expressed their understanding, this is not the era when a certain country on the earth claims to be able to deploy the whole world 24 hours a day, not to mention the time spent on the journey, the preparation work before the army is dispatched is extremely cumbersome, logistics, people, craftsmen, etc., in this era, the consequences of an unprepared army rushing into war are extremely terrible
In addition to these, there are many other circumstances to take into account, such as the army must not spare no effort to march at full speed, must retain a certain amount of physical strength and relatively good rest, otherwise it will not be able to play its due role after joining the battlefield
Under Leo's sincerity, although the Colin people before leaving, although they were still unwilling, they still expressed their understanding, and they just begged the Duchy to make the preparation of these things more efficient and faster......
After the servant led the messenger away, facing all of his most trusted subordinates, Leo finally found an opportunity to ask the question he was most concerned about
"Well, friends, before we start preparing for the expedition, I need to know what the size of my army has reached in the course of this year, if I am not mistaken, we made detailed plans before the accident happened, and now I hope you are not careless in the time I am away!"
With a light cough, Professor Pericles straightened his clothes and stepped forward, his brilliant brain allowing him to tell all the data clearly without the help of any paperwork
"It's a pleasure to answer these questions for you, my lord, and please believe that none of us have any doubts about your return, so even if there are some minor episodes, our plans to expand the army have not been affected!"
Touching his carefully constructed beard, the professor continued
"At present, the scale of the high-end knight force under your command has increased significantly, among them, the Punishment Knights have selected the best talents from various knights and the established knight cadets under the efforts of Finn, Case, and Anthony to expand, and now there are three hundred and twenty regular knights, this is still because the conditions are too harsh and the time is too short, otherwise the number can be increased, the only problem is that the new knights are not equipped with the corresponding weapons, armor and mounts, I've suggested some substitutions for this, but Master Finn says it's easy to fix when you get back......"
Nodding slightly at the professor, Leo turned his searching gaze to Finn
"The professor is right, my lord, based on what you know, the Punishment Knights encountered very few problems when expanding, and I can assure you that under some special strength, all the new knights who have passed the screening have no weaker strength than before we improved after training, and your direct knights are becoming stronger than before!"
After receiving the confirmed answer, Leo's expression was calm, but his heart was diametrically hot, hot and excited, the Punishment Knights of more than three hundred people, even if Finn said that the new knights were only equivalent to the strength before the upgrade, it was also a terrifying existence with 100 full attributes and 800 in all directions, if it weren't for the demons, he would even have the confidence to bulldoze all the resistance forces on the continent with this knight group alone
As for weapons, armor and mounts, and most importantly, loyalty, Leo completely let go of his worries after a brief communication with the system in his mind, and think about it, since the system has expanded the Knights of Punishment as a reward, it will definitely provide the necessary equipment relatively speaking
"I have a way to equip things, you go ahead and talk about it, dear professor"
Pericles didn't ask much when he heard this, although he was not a human being who was systematically embodied for such a long time, he had seen so many so-called miracles around Leo that they made this wise old man a little numb
"In other respects, the Knights of the Dawn under Lord Aldalian have grown to three hundred and sixty men, and as usual, those guys always appear out of nowhere without warning......
Shrugged his shoulders, Professor Pericles, who was used to this, didn't dig into it anyway, of course, he definitely didn't know why the Noldor elves were gradually increasing, and what connection they had with Leo
"The size of the Gryphon Knights has been said by Lord Milgan before, in addition to these, the Knights of the Dawn, who suffered the most losses in the last war, have also been replenished, under your wise decision, the newly built Knight Academy has provided us with a lot of fresh blood, and now Lord Kane has more than seven hundred knights in good condition, if you go out in a month and relax the requirements slightly, the number may be able to hit eight hundred!"
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Leo confirmed again
"Dear Professor, are you saying that I have more than 2,000 knights at my disposal, and this is just not including other territories, just the power that belongs to me and belongs to Stormwind?"
Nodding reservedly, Professor Pericles replied with a smile
"Praise the Light, my lord, this is a power that belongs to you and Stormwind, an army of unrivaled strength for you!"
