After half a month of running-in training, under the orders of Donald, the lord, the Dalaran Aegis Infantry Legion is ready to conduct a public drill in front of all the people today. And also sent invitations to the nobles of the northern county in advance, inviting them to come and watch the battle.

A sī soldier of three hundred men was not a very strong army in the eyes of the nobles above the baron. However, due to the face of Donald, a powerful mage lord whose reputation has now spread throughout the entire kingdom and even on the mainland, basically the people who received the invitation have already arrived. There were even many nobles from other places and the royal capital who heard the news and came uninvited.

For all the guests who came, Dalaran received them all. Augusta was now mainly busy with trade with Layton Harbor, and the commercial affairs in the territory were temporarily entrusted to Catherine, so Donald let Jesse and Catherine, two nobles, be responsible for the reception of the nobles who came to the meeting, after all, there were many ladies among the guests, and it was much easier to have a countess in it.

Donald now has two barony and one knight's fief, and although the knight's domain is divided, it is still nominally a vassal of the Melinna family, so the number of sī troops can also be added.

Ordinary knights can train up to a hundred sī army barons are the three knights, and if you count those auxiliary classes that cheat to join, there is no problem for a baron to transcribe thousands of soldiers.

After all, the land of the average baron is at least one town or several villages, and the population is in the thousands, so it is still possible to make up a thousand soldiers.

So even if he didn't cheat, he still had seven hundred sī soldiers available, and now it was only three hundred, so it was no wonder that those nobles were a little contemptuous. But Donald knew that his three hundred men were not comparable to the thousand people of other nobles.

Including Donald himself, there are more than three hereditary field nobles in North County.

The other two are Viscount Macbeth and Baron Red Maple. The North County can be said to be the area with the least number of nobles outside of the chaotic area of the Southern Six Towns.

Even the Marquis of Ansel, which was entirely loyal to a nobleman, had many fiefdoms of his retainers near the center.

In the final analysis, it is because North County is the latest developed land in Celt and the most sparsely populated.

After hundreds of years of development and development, the Northland is no longer as unsuitable for human life as before, over the years, the population of Celt has increased year by year, from more than 200,000 decades ago, to more than 300,000 now, which is still the official statistics of the kingdom, in fact, there are many people who are not included in the statistics, adding up to more than 450,000, setting a record high number of Northland population.

The North County, which is the largest county in the Celtic region, has a population of less than 50,000, most of which is undeveloped wilderness and forest.

But now that there is a Donald in the North County, the remote areas that few people cared about have become popular in the vast kingdom, and everywhere they go, people can hear about Dalaran and her lord.

The purpose of Donald's public exercise was to establish the prestige of the Aegis Infantry Legion and dispel the impression that the middle and lower ranks of Dalaran were weak and lacking in force.

At the same time as the establishment of the Aegis Infantry Legion, Donald did not favor one over the other, and also arranged for all the elves of the Druid tribe to take office, which was regarded as a promise made to him.

Because the people in the territory have been frequently in and out of the moonlight glade in the past few days, the curious adventurers have been close to snoop. Donald believed that paper could not contain fire, and the existence of elves would sooner or later come out, so he simply did not order the news to be blocked, and directly revealed the existence of elves through the mouth of the adventurer.

Anyway, he also has the blood of a high elf, and even the elf moonlight and the goddess of the night have seen it, and it is estimated that the elf royal court and the forest elf queen should not have any opinions on the two existing elf forces.

All but a few young elves of the Druid Elven tribe have successfully surrendered to the Holy Land.

To Donald's surprise, most of the elves of these druid tribes, with the exception of a few archers and huntresses, have obtained the three professions of the natural realm: claw druids, raptor druids, and dryads.

Among them, the number of claw druids is the largest, counting the wild xìng druids who have mastered the transformation technique, there are more than thirty in total, in addition to transforming into giant bears, many of them have also awakened the ability to transform into wild wolves and other animals. In addition, the Druid's unique Rejuvenation skill gives these battlefield beasts the ability to heal.

Eighteen inaugurated birds of prey druid elves are the best scouts and good game controllers. Whether it's transforming into a Storm Raven, the Elven Fire that they can weaken enemy defenses, and the ability to call a small hurricane, in addition to transforming into a Raven, the Raptor Druid can actually be classified as one of the three major factions of the Ancient Druids that represent the wrath of nature.

More than a dozen elf women who are employed in the dryad profession account for the majority, they were originally nature mages, and now they also have professional talents such as bow and arrow throwing, Donald felt that the dryads were a race, not suitable for the profession of these elves, so he named them the forest whisperers, guarding the forest environment, and they are good at communicating with natural plants, which is suitable for this name.

At this point, the first elven armed forces in Dalaran, the Druid Order and the Ranger Camp were officially established. The Druid Order is divided into three parts, the Wild Druids, the Nature Druids, and the Storm Druids: the Ranger Camp includes Elven Archers and Elven Hunters, as well as Forest Whisperers and Hippogriff Knights. There is also a supernumerary mountain giant.

I have to make Donald sigh, the talent of elves is stronger than ordinary humans, this elven tribe is less than a hundred people out of children, all of them have become professionals! Unfortunately, the weakness is that the number is too small, but Donald has the possibility of creating a large number of elves out of thin air, and a few humans appear out of thin air to explain, after all, Dalaran is now famous, but if a group of elves appear out of thin air, then if others don't say it, the elves of the druid tribe will definitely be suspicious.

Or when there is time later, he will summon the Chimera and give it to the elves to tame, and then it will be the third air deterrent force in the territory in addition to the dragon and griffin.

On the day of the Aegis Infantry Regiment's public drill, the atmosphere in the town was extremely hot.

The inhabitants of Dalaran were proud and happy that the territory had a strong force, and the news of the more likely elven warbands was excited.

Although Zhong Zhan did not see the appearance of the elves with his own eyes, in the past ten days, through the stories of adventurers, the news of the existence of an elven tribe in the Dalaran Forest has almost spread throughout the entire Northern County.

However, because the lord of Donald has not given official confirmation, most people in distant places think it is a rumor, and not many people believe it.

The place where the army drilled was in an open field in front of the barracks north of the town, and William had already set up temporary stands and other facilities.

At this time, many of the nobles who came were sitting in the stands and waiting, and a large crowd of people gathered around, the number of which had exceeded that of Donald's official residents by several times, most of them were civilians who came to see the excitement nearby, and there were also adventurers from all over the world.

When Donald, the lord of Dalaran, appeared here, the commoners bowed down one after another, especially the locals, who were in awe and worship from the bottom of their hearts.

Many nobles in the stands also stood up to salute, and Donald and others responded and sat on the central seat of the stands. On the left and right are Baron Red Maple, the Ferdinand brothers and sisters who arrived by airship two days ago, and the female sword saint Abel.

Speaking of Ferdinand, we have to say his sister Cony lìa.

The little princess of the Ansel family became famous in a dance at the royal banquet not long ago, and the original title of Huā of Ansel's was added to the title of sword dancer, because she was given by Donald from her teacher to celebrate her becoming a gift of bronze high stage, and she performed a sword dance in public in a happy mood, which opened the eyes of those royal nobles.

After receiving Donald's gift, Miss Ansel thought of the other person, so she asked her teacher and brother to let her go to Dalaran.

Growing up so big, she hasn't been to Beijun to see it, and the ladies and nobles of the royal capital all say that Beijun is a barren and backward place, and the people there are rustic and barbaric.

However, she knew that this statement was just caused by the envy and jealousy of those nobles for the so-called rural nobles, if the lords of the northern county were rural nobles, then his Ansel's family was also far away from the core of the royal capital, why didn't anyone dare to say that they were dirt buns and hillbillies?

And this time it is also rumored that there are elf tribes living in the territory of Dalaran, and after learning the news from his brother's mouth, Connie Lìa, who has never seen the legendary beautiful elves, is even more noisy that she has to go. Edwina's mother and son both experienced the Betsyl Swamp incident with Donald, so they naturally knew about the existence of that elven tribe.

As a rising star in the military, Ferdinand's affairs are still very busy, and even the monthly transaction with Donald is entrusted to the housekeeper. This time, Donald also sent them an invitation, so Ferdinand also planned to catch up with the old days and complete the deal by the way.

As for the female sword saint Abel, she was purely interested in Donald's novel swordsmanship theory, and she had some experience in the period of separation from Layton Harbor and was ready to learn from Donald again.

Chapter 228: Under the influence of the elves, the arrival of Connie Lìa made the Donald Mansion laugh a lot.

This weak-looking girl already possesses the strength and talent of a bronze high-level swordsman at a young age, and is not far behind his general's brother Ferdin.

What's even more rare is that this sword dancer does not have the same jiāo noble temper as other aristocratic ladies, but treats people kindly, unlike Catherine's gentleness like water, Connie Lìya's xìng is like a lark, and she is curious about many new things about Dalaran, which makes people can't help but have a good feeling.

The appearance of the female sword master also caused a sensation in Dalaran, this female sword master is the most famous among adventurers, for a time many adventurers with good strength asked the female sword master for swordsmanship, which inevitably caused trouble, Donald instructed the head of the adventurer's guild Clinton to limit that only the strong people above bronze or the adventurers with excellent swordsmanship can ask the female sword master for advice, and arranged the venue, and sent the militia of the garrison to be responsible for maintaining order.

With the advice of these adventurers, the female swordmaster who also plans to see the swordsmanship style of the adventurers in the northern county does not have much time to go to Donald to learn, and Donald is also a lot more relaxed, but he is now a little scared of Abel, a female martial arts obsession.

Once Donald was seated, he ordered the Aegis Infantry Legion drill to begin. In charge of the command was Uther, the highest military commander of Dalaran.

The first to appear was the main force of the Aegis Infantry Legion, the Infantry Regiment.

One hundred and sixty infantry soldiers, including the captain, walked out of the barracks and into the training ground with orderly steps.

This is the first time that the Holy Aegis Infantry Legion has made its face public, and I saw that all of their soldiers were carrying large hardwood shields inlaid with iron sheets, with long swords at their waists, and wearing hard armor.

This extravagant practice made the nobles in the stands and the adventurers underground talk a lot, and the commoners had no idea, but were shocked by the neatness and strength of Dalaran's army.

"Drink ......"

"Ha ......"

One hundred and fifty infantrymen, led by the leaders of each squad, raised their swords in unison, and then made various formations and combat maneuvers.

Soon the infantry fighters were finished, and the next ones were the main long-range archers.

More than sixty archers were neatly equipped with leather armor and elven longbows, and three hundred meters opposite them were the grass targets set up by William's hands, all of which were tied into human shapes, and red cloth was pasted as a bull's-eye in the heart.

The archers were quickly divided into six teams, the first team stepped forward to shoot at the human-shaped arrow target, and then spread out to both sides without stopping and pushed back, leaving the shooting position to the second team behind the second team to shoot the long arrow and still retreated, and then the third team, the fourth team, less than a few breaths of effort, a round of bows and arrows were released, the speed made the people present in the military were secretly frightened, and then looked at the human-shaped arrow target three hundred meters away, sixty sharp arrows were nailed near the bull's-eye, and none of the arrows missed the target.

This is at least what can only be done by excellent archers who have been trained for two or three years, and it has only been more than a year since Dalaran was established.

The team of archers retreated to the rear of the infantry, followed by the hunter squad, armed with scimitars and small crossbows behind their backs, they were agile and skilled in swordsmanship, making them very good rapid reaction troops, both as scouts and battlefield aid.

Hunters, like archers, wear light leather armor that allows them to move, and as the main force of ranged attacks and scouts, they do not need too much defense on the battlefield, considering the weight of the load.

The last to appear is the Musket Guards in the Legion, who were originally used as the lord's guard.

The outfits of the Musketeers were the most brilliant, with a red sè light robe resembling a trench coat and a straitjacket underneath, which set off the tall and extraordinary demeanor of these musketeers, and they were the most eye-catching everywhere they went.

At this time, the best archers generally had a maximum effective range of only three to five hundred meters, not counting those individual gifted marksmen, and the previous archers of Dalaran were able to maintain accuracy and strong strength at a distance of three hundred meters, which had already amazed everyone.

The result of a volley of the musketeers fired in the same group as the archers stunned all the spectators, from the nobles to the commoners.

The deafening sound of muskets, as well as the human-shaped arrow targets that were hit from a hundred meters away and broke and exploded, made people really feel the benefits of this uncommon weapon.

Although it has the disadvantage of having a much shorter range than a bow and arrow, it is powerful enough to intimidate most melee armies. Quite a few landed nobles were already planning to go back and buy some of these muskets. Thanks to the blessing of goblin merchants all over the human realm, many people still know this kind of goblin gadgets.

But what they didn't know was that the power of those goblin muskets was far worse than the dwarven muskets exchanged in the Book of Truth.

The Great Goblin Musket is not half as powerful as the Dwarven Musket in terms of range and power.

"Donald, you musketeer guards are so imposing, and you're not interested in selling me a batch?"

Donald smiled and glanced at Ferdinand.

"Why, your Holy Sword Legion has also taken a fancy to my little musket?"

"Of course not, the Holy Sword Legion is mainly based on swords, but you can add a musket team to the auxiliary soldiers, and you can play a good combat effectiveness with ordinary troops, if the price is right, it is still very cost-effective!"

After listening to Ferdinand's explanation, Donald nodded and agreed, a batch of muskets is just a batch, as long as it is not too much to circulate, it will not affect the safety of Dalaran.

"It's hilarious! Is there anything else behind Donald?"

When Connie opened her mouth, Donald and Ferdinand couldn't help but smile bitterly. Such an elite troop drill is probably just a lively word in the eyes of this young lady.

"Don't worry, I'll surprise you right away!"

After the musketeers retreated, most people thought that the drill was over, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement, and just as they were wondering, there was a slight movement in the pestle forest not far away.

There was a soft sound, and dozens of figures came out of the forest, all of them were wearing green or brown robes, and their faces were much more handsome and beautiful than ordinary humans, and the ears of these people were a little pointy, and someone in the crowd screamed on the spot.

"Fine..."

Yes, that's where Donald came out of the elven team he was preparing today. There had been no clear statement that Dalaran existed in the elven tribe before, but it was Donald who planned to make a hit in front of everyone, and only in this way was the most impressive.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the elven tribe living in our Dalaran, they are the kind elves who are mainly druids who love nature, and they are also the people of Dalaran who are protected by my Merlina family, and the elves like to be quiet, so I hope you don't come close to disturb their lives, let alone have bad intentions, because the strength of the elves is far beyond your imagination!

After Donald made this statement, the elves began a show of force under the command of the Elder.

The main force of the Truid Order, Ye Xìng Druid, who was walking in front, saw them roar angrily, and under the gathering of the forces of nature, they all transformed into giant bears with a height of three meters, and with a few slap attacks, they smashed the wooden stakes prepared in advance.

People not far away felt it more intuitively, as if the ground was shaking with it.

Next up are the Storm Druids, where the Nature Druids demonstrate the power of miniature hurricanes and natural spells, followed by the Elven Archers of the Marksmans and the Elven Hunters on Black Cats, as well as the Foresters and the Hippogriff Knights with wooden staffs.

Both the Black Panther and the Hippogriff were permanently summoned by Donald to increase the Elves' strength. The powerful and unusual prowess of these elves has shocked and surprised all humans.

These dozens of elves alone can easily defeat the army of a barony, and if the number of elves reaches a certain level, wouldn't it be easy to destroy many kingdoms of mankind?

However, most people understand that low fertility is the biggest weakness of elves, and elves have basically been allies with humans for thousands of years, and there is no entanglement of interests, so it is unlikely that elves will attack human territory.

After demonstrating their strength, the elves quickly retreated into the woodland and disappeared, and while the people were talking about what they had seen today, Donald, the lord of Dalaran, sighed in his heart.

It's a pity that none of the druids and other spell-casting professions of the Night Elves have successfully changed jobs. Otherwise, he could also form a human druid army to fight for the territory, maybe it was really the reason for the different talents of the race!。
