Duke stood on top of the high cornerstone, looked at the nearly 200,000 Stormcastle residents lined up in front of him, took a deep breath, and began to speak.
"Today is a sad day, where thousands of brave Storm Force soldiers will be laid to rest forever. I know the grief in your hearts, and as their lord and commander, I feel the same as you, grieving for the sacrifice of so many excellent Storm Force soldiers!"
"But I still want to tell you that they defended the safety of Stormcastle and your safety with their lives, so their sacrifice is worthwhile, and it also tells everyone in this world who wants to fight Stormcastle that Stormcastle will never fall!"
Duke roared with all his strength at this time, which can be regarded as shouting out the depressed breath in his heart. No matter what difficulties Stormcastle will face in the future, one thing is certain: Stormcastle will never fall!
"Stormfort will never fall!"
Hundreds of thousands of people in front of Duke responded in unison, if this was just a slogan before, then after so many battles of Storm Castle defense, this slogan has become their goal and belief, no matter what the future holds, what kind of enemy they face, Storm Castle will never fall!
"That's right, Stormcastle never falls, it's not a slogan, it's something that the Stormtroopers have proven with their actions! In addition to this day, we also have the Dwarven Legion who fought hard, and as a member of Stormcastle, they sent almost the entire tribe's young men to battle. Here, too, I would like to repay the Dwarven Legion for my gratitude and respect as a lord!"
After saying this, Duke bowed deeply towards the dwarven phalanx. Truth be told, the Dwarven Legion joining Stormcastle is completely disproportionate to what they gain and lose. If they joined just to get rid of the harsh living environment of the Saint-Michel Mountains before, then after they joined, they expressed their loyalty to Storm Castle with their sacrifices and dedication.
It can be said that Storm Castle would have struggled to survive this crisis without the addition of the Dwarven Legion, so Duke thinks that his gratitude to the Hammer Tribe is well deserved.
In the face of Duke's thanks and bowing, Hammer knelt directly on one knee, pounded his chest with his fist, and shouted excitedly at Duke: "Lord Lord, the dwarves will always be your most loyal warriors and subordinates, and they will also be the shields and swords that Stormcastle knows the most!"
"I'm convinced of that. ”
Duke also replied firmly, and then looked in the direction of the Sea Clan tribe Fasqi and said: "In addition to the Dwarf Tribe, today I would like to announce a piece of news, the Tide Tribe of the Sea of Death will be completely integrated into Storm Castle from today onwards, and will become a member of Storm Castle Sea Tribe, and will also become a member of Storm Castle from now on!"
When Duke said this, all the humans and dwarves looked at the Sea Clan, although they probably knew in advance that Stormcastle would join a Sea Clan, but they were still a little surprised when Duke announced that he had confirmed such a message.
After all, compared to dwarves, the blood relationship between fish-man warriors and humans is too far apart. The common practice and history on the Europa continent are to treat the Sea Tribes as mercenaries, except for a few who can obtain national status, such as the Wave Tribe, the entire Sea Tribes have joined the human territory, which is really rare in history.
After hearing Duke's words, Fasqi bowed deeply and replied in a gesture of submission to Duke, "The Tide Tribe will always be under the leadership of Lord Duke and become a member of Stormcastle. ”
"The general of the Sea Clan of the Tide Tribe, see Lord Lord!"
This sentence was said by all the leaders of the Wave Tribe.
"See Lord Lord!"
This shout was the cry of the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people of the Sea Clan present to express their submission to Duke.
The voice of 100,000 people is no exaggeration to describe it with the word "mountain roaring tsunami", Duke looked at all this in front of him expressionlessly at this time, without the slightest nervousness and excitement at the first public sacrifice, maybe this is the change, he now has the mentality of a superior.
"Since the joining of the Wave Tribe has been announced today, then I have one more thing to announce, that is, the Storm Force Admiralty is officially established today, and the Fishman Warriors of the Wave Tribe will become the first members of the Admiralty. And there will be no more Wave Tribe Fishman Warriors in the future, and their official names will be the Storm Navy's First Regiment, Second Regiment, Third Regiment, and so on. ”
"In addition to the fish-man warriors, the dwarven warriors will no longer be called the dwarven legion in the future, they will officially receive the title of the first dwarf regiment of the storm army, and all the dwarven warriors will also enter the storm army camp and participate in the formal training of the storm army. Even in the future, it is not excluded that this ethnically mixed corps will happen. ”
"I just want to tell you one thing today, I don't care what race you are, but in the Storm Army, there are no so-called humans, fishmen, or dwarves, only a unified name for the Storm Army warriors, a unified Storm Army formation. On the battlefield in the future, you will be robes, comrades who can hand over your backs to each other!"
Duke spoke loudly about his plan to reform the formation, in fact, he had planned to reorganize the Dwarven Legion a long time ago, after all, a combat force that was completely independent of the Storm Army system was not a long-term thing after all.
This is not to say that Duke has any doubts about the loyalty of the dwarven warriors, but in the future, as the Storm Army becomes more and more professional, or will face larger battles, there will be very big problems with command and mobility.
Even the way they fight will be problematic, the most obvious example being the battle on the beach, where the Storm Army attacks in a very tight formation, and the Dwarven Legion acts as flanks to protect each other as a flank. As a result, the dwarven soldiers were so excited that they completely broke away from the formation of the Storm Army, and even their own battle formations were disrupted, and they fell into a state of head-to-head confrontation with the warriors of the Shark Tribe.
It was because of the incoordination between the two forces that the Shark Tribe found a loophole and began to frantically attack the connection between the Storm Army and the Dwarven Legion, causing the largest casualties on the beach battlefield. If it weren't for Gandalf's magic and the all-out assault of the Storm Keep cavalry troops, the Battle of the Beach might have been a failure by relying solely on the Storm Infantry.
Therefore, in order to prevent this situation from happening again, the Dwarven Legion will also be completely integrated into the system of Storm Castle and be trained by the modern professional army of the Storm Army. At the same time, all the dwarven officers will also enter the Storm Castle Military Academy and get basic officer training, and the excitement of fighting will not allow it to happen again!
