Chapter 227: The Elven Influence - Chapter 228: The Elven Influence Below

After half a month of running-in training, under the orders of Donald, the lord, the Dalaran Aegis Infantry Regiment is ready to conduct a public training in front of all the people today. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and also sent invitations to the nobles of the northern county in advance, inviting them to come and watch the battle.
Three hundred si-soldiers were not a very strong force in the eyes of the nobles above the baron. However, due to the face of Donald, a strong ** master 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 managed by Catherine, so Donald asked Jesse and Catherine, two nobles, to be responsible for the reception of the nobles who came to the meeting, after all, there were many NV relatives among the guests, and it was much more convenient to have NV Earl in it.
Donald now has two barony and a knight's fief, although the knight's domain is divided, but nominally it is still a vassal of the Melinna family, so the number of SI troops can also be added.
Ordinary knights can train up to a hundred SI Army barons are the three knights, and if you count those auxiliary classes that cheat to join, there is no problem for a barony 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 si 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 northern county can be said to be the area with the least number of nobles outside of the hunluàn area of the six towns in the south.
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 training 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 Jing Ling people 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 thinks that paper can't contain the fire, and the existence of Jing Ling will come out sooner or later, so he simply did not order the news to be blocked, and directly revealed the existence of Jing Ling through the mouth of the adventurer.
Anyway, he also has a high-level Jing Spirit bloodline, and even the Jing Spirit Moonlight and the Night NV God have seen it, and it is estimated that the Jing Spirit King Court and the Forest Jing Spirit NV King, the two existing Jing Spirit forces, should not have any opinions.
Except for a few young Jing Spirits, all of the Druid Jing Spirit tribe have successfully surrendered to the Holy Land.
To Donald's surprise, most of the spirits of these druid clans, with the exception of a few archers and NV hunters, have obtained the three professions of the natural realm: Talon Druids, Raptor Druids, and Dryads.
Among them, the number of claw druids is the largest, counting the wild xing druids who have mastered the transformation skills, 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 Raptor Druids are the best scouts and good game controllers. Whether it's transforming into a Storm Raven, the Soul Fire that they can weaken enemy defenses, and the ability to summon a mini-hurricane, in addition to transforming into a Raven, the Raptor Druids can actually be classified as one of the three factions of the Ancient Druids that represent the wrath of nature.
More than a dozen jing spirits in the inaugural tree demon profession accounted for the majority, they were originally nature mages, and now they also have professional talent abilities such as bow and arrow throwing, Donald felt that the dryad was a race, not suitable for these jing spirit professions, so he named them the forest whisperers, guarding the forest environment, and they are good at communicating with natural plants, and they are suitable for this name.
At this point, the first batch of Jing Spirit armed forces in Dalaran, the Druid Order and the Ranger Camp were officially established. The Druid Order is divided into three parts, the Wild Druid, the Nature Druid, and the Storm Druid: The Ranger Camp includes the Jing Spirit Archers and Jing Spirit Hunters, as well as the Forest Whisperers and the Hippogriff Knights. There is also a supernumerary mountain giant.
I have to make Donald sigh, Jing Ling's talent is stronger than ordinary humans, this Jing Ling tribe has less than a hundred people who have become professionals except for young children! Unfortunately, the weakness is that the number is too small, but Donald has the possibility of creating a large number of Jing Ling people, and a few humans appear out of thin air to explain, after all, Dalaran is now famous, but if a group of Jing Ling appears out of thin air, then if others don't say it, the Jing Spirits of the Druid tribe will definitely be suspicious.
Or when there is time later, he will summon the Chimera to be domesticated by the Jing spirits, 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 Legion's public practice, 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 Jing Spirit Clans was coming.
Although Zhong Zhan did not see Jing Ling's appearance with his own eyes, in the past ten days, through the adventurer's story, the news of the existence of a Jing Ling tribe in the Dalaran Forest has almost spread throughout the entire North 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 practiced was in an open space 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 main seat in the center 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 NV Sword Saint Abel.
Speaking of Ferdinand, we have to talk about his sister Cornelia.
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 the Jing Ling tribe lives in the territory of Dalaran, and after learning the true news from his brother's mouth, Conilia, who has not seen the legendary beautiful Jing Ling, is even more noisy and has to go. Edwina's mother and son both experienced the bipedal dragon swamp incident with Donald, so they naturally knew the existence of that Jing Spirit tribe.
As a rising star in the military, Ferdinand's affairs are still very busy, and even once a month with Donald's Jiāo Yi Jiāo Jiāo is in charge of the housekeeper. This time, Donald also sent them an invitation, so Ferdinand also planned to catch up with the old days, and by the way, complete this Jiāo Yi.
As for the NV 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 Jing Ling, the arrival of Cornelia caused a lot of laughter in the Donald Mansion.
This weak-looking young NV already has the strength and talent of a bronze high-level swordsman at a young age, and his general brother Ferdy is not far behind.
What's even more rare is that this sword dancer does not have the same noble temper as other aristocratic ladies, but treats people kindly, unlike Catherine's gentleness like water, Conelia's Xingzi is like a lark, and she is curious about many new things about Dalaran, which makes people can't help but have a good impression.
The appearance of the NV Sword Master also caused a sensation in Dalaran, the NV Sword Master has the greatest reputation among the adventurers, and for a time many adventurers with good strength asked the NV Sword Master for advice on swordsmanship, and Donald instructed the head of the Adventurers' Guild, Clinton, to limit that only the strong above bronze or the adventurers with good swordsmanship can ask the NV 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, and the NV Sword Saint who also plans to see the swordsmanship style of the adventurers in the North County does not have much time to go to Donald to learn, Donald is also a lot more relaxed, but he is now a little scared of Abel, an NV martial arts obsession.
After Donald took his seat, he ordered the Dalaran Aegis Infantry Regiment to begin the training in earnest. 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 walked into the training ground.
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 jingling longbows, and three hundred meters to them were grass targets set up by William's hands, all of which were tied in the shape of chéng, and red cloth was pasted on the center as a bull's-eye.
The archers were quickly divided into six teams, the first team stepped forward and opened the bow towards the human-shaped arrow target shè, and then spread out to both sides without stopping and pushed back, leaving the shè strike position to the second team behind the second team and the second team still retreated after the long arrow shè out, and then the third team and the fourth team, less than a few breaths of effort, a round of bows and arrows were released, the speed made the people who moved the military on the scene 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 sharp, and they were excellent 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, the red sè light robe resembling a trench coat, and the inner was a straitjacket, which set off the tall and extraordinary demeanor of these musketeers, and they were the most eye-catching ones wherever they went.
At this time, the best archery units were generally effective, and the farthest distance was only three to five hundred meters, not counting those individual gifted gods, 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.
However, the result of the Musketeers' grouping in the same group as the archers shocked all the spectators, from the nobles to the commoners.
The deafening sound of muskets, as well as the human-shaped targets that broke and exploded after being hit from a distance of 100 meters, made people really feel the benefits of this unusual weapon.
Although it has the disadvantage that it is much shorter than a bow and arrow, it is powerful enough to deter most melee armies. Quite a few landed nobles were already planning to go back and buy some of these muskets. The blessing of the merchants of the land is all over the human realm, and many people still know this kind of gadgets made by the earth.
But what they didn't know was that the power of those ground muskets was much worse than the dwarven muskets exchanged in the Book of Truth.
The large army of ground jing muskets was not half as powerful as the dwarven muskets in terms of shè cheng 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 Cornelia opened her mouth, Donald and Ferdinand couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the eyes of this young lady, I am afraid that Jing Rui's troop cào practice is just a lively word.
"Don't worry, I'll surprise you right away!"
After the musket guards retreated, most people thought that this cào exercise was over, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement, and when it was strange, 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.
“jing...”
Yes, that's the appearance of the Jing Ling team that Donald has prepared today. There had been no clear statement that Dalaran existed in the Jing Spirit tribe before, but it was Donald who planned to make a hit in front of everyone, and only in this way was he most impressed.
"Everyone, this is the Jing Spirit tribe living in our Dalaran, they are the kind Jing Spirits who are mainly druids who love nature, and they are also the people of Dalaran who are protected by my Merlinna family, and the Jing Spirits like to be quiet, so I hope you don't get close to disturb their lives, let alone have bad intentions, because the strength of the Jing Spirits is far beyond your imagination!
After Donald made this statement publicly, the spirits began a show of force under the command of the elders.
The main force of the Truid Order, Ye Xing 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 length of three meters, and slammed the wooden stakes prepared in advance with a few slap attacks.
People not far away felt it more intuitively, as if the ground was shaking with it.
Next up are the Storm Druids, where the Natural Druids demonstrate the power of small hurricanes and natural spells, followed by the warriors of the ranger camp, such as the Jing Spirit Archer with the hand of the god shè and the Jing Spirit Hunter with a black cat, and the Forest Whisperer and the Horned Eagle Knight, who are armed with wooden staffs.
Both the Black Panther and the Horned Hippogriff were permanently summoned by Donald to increase the strength of the Jing Spirits. The powerful and unusual strength of these Jing Spirits shocked and surprised all human beings.
Just these dozens of Jing Spirits alone can easily defeat the army of a barony, if the number of Jing Spirits reaches a certain level, wouldn't it be easy to destroy many human kingdoms?
However, most people understand that the low fertility rate is the biggest weakness of Jing Ling, and Jing Ling has basically been an ally with humans for thousands of years, and there is no entanglement of interests, so it is unlikely that Jing Ling will attack human territory.
After demonstrating their strength, the spirits quickly retreated to 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 human soldiers in the druids and other spell-casting professions of the Night Jing Spirit Clan 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!。
