Chapter 404: The Storm Rises Again
Chapter 344: The Storm Rises Again
"Joe, are you recovering?"
As soon as he entered the garrison of the Hunting Legion, Lorist saw a shirtless Joske fiddling with his green longbow for restorative archery training, sweating profusely, which showed that Joske had been practicing for some time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing the arrival of Lorist and the others. Josk hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, I'm almost fine, and my body is about to get moldy after lying down for three months, so I just resumed my cultivation in the past two days." β
"Then you should also pay attention to the body, the injury is just healing, and it is too much for you to understand. Lorist dismounted and threw the reins to Genorio: "Meet our family's golden archer, Baron Joske. This is Genorio, my new squire. β
Josk took a linen towel and wiped the sweat off his body, nodded at Genorio, and said hello: "Where's Schward?"
"Retreat cultivation, just like Reddy's back then, takes two years. Lorist said.
That's when Josque saw El: "Hey, El......"
I went over and hugged him.
Lorist smiled and said, "Joe, this time El is going to the Huntsman Legion as the deputy corps commander and part-time corps leader, and you will be in charge in the future." Seeing that you have a good relationship, then I am much more relieved. β
Josk was delighted: "Great, I'm worried that Yuri is lying down and no one is helping me." It's great news that Elle is here. β
"How's Yuri recovering?" asked Lorlist.
"The pharmacist said that he had recovered well from his internal and external injuries, but he would need more than a year to re-cultivate his Dou Qi. Josk replied.
Loris nodded: "I'm going to send him to Roaring Bear City to be treated by my side, maybe I can help him speed up his cultivation." By the way, Joske, this time your Huntschaun Corps is fully staffed. β
Josk hesitated: "I don't know much, you know that these things are the responsibility of the Vasima Knight, I didn't ask much." But looking at the crowd and bustle of the camp, I think it should be full. β
"Well, in addition to the 3,500 recruits recruited from our family territory, there are also 10,000 selected from the Guards Legion this time. The remaining 30,000 are the elite cavalry of the former Duchy of Madras. I'm relieved that you've recovered, and I'll give you half a year to train well, and I'll march into Makinohara Province in the spring of next year. β
Josk was overjoyed: "Your Highness, we will send troops to Makinohara Province next year, do we want to take revenge on the Fisabrun family?"
Lorist shook his head: "Joe, maybe you will be disappointed, but our four alliances in the Northland have already initialed an armistice agreement with the Fisabrun family, and now we will sign it when the Grand Duke of Fisabrun decides on the armistice deadline and sends the agreement back." Next year's march into Makinohara, because we forced the Fisabrun family to cede most of the province to the Sochus River on the armistice, and in fact we took back the bloody territory of the Huntsmans......"
Josk was silent, and only after a long time did he say in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, it was our incompetence that we fought a big defeat and disgraced the family for us......
Lorist picked up Joske's clothes hanging on a wooden pillar next to him and draped them on his body, patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "It's none of your business, the Hunting Cavalry Regiments swept through Makinohara Province when they were first formed, and the Fourth Frontier Rangers Regiment fled in disarray, which is already a surprise to us." The subsequent defeat was that the old fox Grand Duke Fisabrun used tricks to attract more than 100,000 barbarians to ambush you, not to mention you, even I could not do better than you. β
Josk got dressed, sorted out his suits, and then led Lorist, El and others to the Chinese tent at the station, and ordered the guards to blow the horn of the general to recruit officers above the captain of the hunting cavalry. Listen to Lorist announce the personnel changes of the Cavalry Hunting Legion.
Josk remained as corps commander, El was deputy corps commander and corps commander, and Vasima was corps commander and logistics chief, as well as a series of battalion commanders and captains. Among them, it is worth noting that Edward, the commander of the 23rd Battalion of the former Guards Legion, was transferred to the Cavalry Hunting Regiment as the deputy commander and battalion commander for his exploits in defending the city of Pydero against the attack of 100,000 barbarian cavalry.
After the appointments were announced, Lorist and all the officers in the Great Tent once again discussed the lessons of the defeat of the Huntsman in Makinohara, and announced several new initiatives. First of all, Lorist is ready to change the standard armor of the Huntsman Legion again, after two years of practice, the standard equipment equipped by the family for the Chasseur is still lacking in actual combat, and because of the defeat of Makinohara Province, many family standard equipment fell into the hands of the Fisabrun family and the grass barbarian tribe, in order to avoid being fished by the enemy in the future, the family had to change the style and color of the standard armor of the Hunting Legion. More than 20,000 existing sets of hussar armor will be recovered and mothballed.
Secondly, the family was not ready to equip the reconstituted Hunting Legion with chariot steel crossbows, which was also Lorist's decision. In the Rock Castle, Lorist once reviewed the defeat of the Cavalry Hunting Legion with several family knights such as Fat Man, Farea, and BΓ©runec, and the result was surprising to find that it was the team led by Captain Pete who had two more battalions of chariot steel crossbows that caused the Third Corps to be besieged, and the entire army was nearly annihilated, and the Second Corps led by Yuri, who went to the rescue, was severely damaged by the plan set up by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun to set up a siege point to send reinforcements.
Lorist pointed out to the officers of the Cavalry Hunting Regiment, "The Cavalry Hunting Regiment is a light cavalry regiment, and the greatest threat to the Hussar Regiment is not its attack power, but its elusive ability to maneuver quickly. Why can the several light cavalry legions armed by the Fisabrun family pose such a big threat to us, they do not have a chariot steel crossbow with powerful long-range attack power, but they always make us feel like a great enemy, and we have to be on full alert.
Because we are afraid that they will hit the weakness of our family's armed forces with a single blow, the logistics and heavy material transportation in the rear, the treatment camp for the wounded soldiers, the warehouse for storing food and armaments, etc., these weaknesses are the most vulnerable to the enemy's surprise attack, which will affect the whole body. In this way, we lost the strategic initiative in front of the light cavalry, and we were not only passive but also fearful. For the Hussars, quick transfers, lightning attacks, penetration, pulling, blocking, surveillance, and tail chase are the most powerful tactical weapons.
The Chariot Steel Crossbow is one of our family's most threatening ranged attack weapons, and while it moves quickly and has a strong ability to transfer, it is slow compared to the Light Horse. Equipped with chariot steel crossbows, the Hunters lost the ability to quickly transfer and disengage like a galloping horse dragging a wagon behind it. Without the drag of two chariot steel crossbow battalions, the commander of the Pete Corps would have been able to break out of the encirclement no matter which direction he chose when he found that he was about to be besieged by the barbarian cavalry.
At that time, there were more than 100,000 grass barbarian cavalry, and if you wanted to surround the third hunting cavalry regiment, you had to go around a big circle, if you didn't have two battalions of chariot steel crossbows, then as long as you looked in one direction, the grass barbarian cavalry that was being surrounded couldn't stop it at all. It's a pity that the commander of the Pete Corps chose to be stationed for reinforcements because of the existence of two tank steel crossbow battalions, and the result was that the whole army was almost wiped out. β
After recounting the conclusions of the review, Lorist said to all the officers of the Chasseur, "We must learn this lesson, the Chaser Legion is the only light cavalry regiment in the family, and the family has high hopes for you. Although the Frontier Rangers of the Fisabrun family are our enemies, as the strongest light cavalry in the former empire, we need to learn from their strengths, learn from their failures, and strive to surpass them to become the strongest light cavalry, and the family will also provide the best armaments to arm you, hoping that the huntsman army can crisscross the northeast steppes and be invincible. β
After all the officers in the big tent retreated. Lorist said to Joske, "Joe, I'm going to have a wedding at Princess Celivia in Roaring Bear, the southern capital of the Northlands, in November, and I'd like to ask you to be my best man, okay?"
Josk was silent.
Lorist laughed, "Joe, my marriage to Princess Celivia doesn't mean we have shaken hands with the Fisabrun family. In fact, I think that as long as the Grand Duke of Fisabrun is alive, the Fisabrun family will remain our most dangerous enemy. Please don't worry about Princess Celevia's identity, she has become an outcast from my family. β
Josk raised his head: "Your Highness, I believe these words you have said. But I don't want to go to your wedding to Princess Celivia, and I don't want to be the best man, can I?"
"No, look at these friends around me, even El is married. So it's up to you to be the best man. If you're starting a family by November, then I won't force you. β
Josk showed a helpless expression: "Then I'd better be the best man." β
"Thanks, Joe. "Lorist was happy and got another one.
Early the next morning, Lorist noticed Targer panting in front of him.
"What's wrong with you, Targer?"
"Your Highness, the war has begun......
"Who's going to attack us?" said Lorlist.
"No, it's not us, no one has come to attack me, Your Highness, let me rest for a few breaths before I report ......" Tagger rested for a long time before he returned to normal: "Choked me, I was choked by a gust of wind while riding on a horse in the morning......"
"Alright, don't complain, where did you just say that the war started?Second Highness and the Business Alliance?or attack the Central Four Duchies?"
"Your Highness, it's not the Second Highness, but the Fu Business Alliance and the Southern Central Kingdom Alliance have started a war, and this happened a month ago. Targer pulled out a large stack of Business Alliance newspapers from a large bag beside him.
"It's been a year since the thunder and the rain stopped, and it's finally been in earnest. Lorist breathed a sigh of relief.
Time flies so fast, I remember that it was almost four years since I took Kenmeth and them to visit Molent City and had a conflict with that chamber of commerce, that is, that time I persuaded Dean Levins to move Dawn Academy to Northland, and now Dawn Academy in Northland has been officially opened for two years, and nearly a thousand students have become new students.
After that unpleasant trip to the city of Moronte, President Peterson apologized to himself. Later, according to the news from the knights of Remed who stayed in Morente City, the seven giants of the business alliance carried out a rectification and punishment of the new nouveau riche lords canonized by the business alliance, confiscated and canceled the territories and titles of dozens of new nobles who had gone too far, and sent more than a dozen new nobles who had committed crimes to the gallows, which finally stabilized the internal situation of the business alliance, standardized the etiquette and behavior of the new nobles, and also restrained the uncivilized behavior of the new nobles of the business alliance, and improved the legal provisions for the management of the territory.
After the situation within the business alliance stabilized, the Seven began to negotiate with the various kingdoms and principalities around the world, hoping to open up trade routes, no longer be hostile to the business alliance, and restore the former harmonious relations. The Commercial Alliance also pledged not to have ambitions for the territories of the kingdoms and principalities, etc., and to strive to restore friendly relations with the nations.
From the map, the appearance of the Gelinthia continent looks like a very irregular shuttle, with a small top and a large bottom, and a few cracks. The top is north, and the bottom is south. The human settlement area occupies two-thirds of the continent, like the shape of a curved moon, the northernmost is the northland, in fact, it is still in the upper middle of the map, and the north separated by the Demon Dragon Mountain Range is the wilderness that humans have never set foot in, where there are endless primeval jungles and lofty mountains.
The northern land of the human settlement began to go south to the former most powerful Krisson Empire, and to the Falliqiu Plain was the Fude Commercial Alliance, which was surrounded by large and small kingdoms and principalities, including the commercial alliance was thirty-four countries, known as the Thirty-four Central and Southern Thirty-four Kingdoms. These thirty-four countries are the Romon Empire, which ranks second among the three major powers in the continent, and the adjacent Khavedan Khanate, which ranks third, and the Kellya Kingdom adjacent to the two powers, all of which have a Sword Saint Town State, and it is also because of the existence of the Sword Saint that the Romon Empire and the Khanate of Havestan, which have been in love and kill each other for hundreds of years, can maintain a fragile peace for twenty or thirty years, and the Kingdom of Kelia can also be at peace between the two great powers because of the existence of the Sword Saint.
The Romon Empire is further south of the Amagirona Strait, on the other side of the strait is the Sinconan Peninsula, there are five or six peninsula countries on the island, disputes are continuous, in order to unify the peninsula is said to have been fighting for hundreds of years, and it is still stalemate, but because it is the southernmost tip of the continent, the peninsula is barren, and it has always been not valued by the mainland countries, and even the Romon Empire, which is closest to them, has no intention of seizing this peninsula with high mountains and dense forests, scarce products, and barbaric customs as their territory.
After the Glass War, the Merchant Alliance annexed the territories of a total of nine countries in the circle, plus the Duchy of Rum that separated from the Cresson Empire, and the two provinces of the destroyed Kingdom of Ridleys, which became the largest country in the territory of the Gelinthia continent, and the thirty-four countries in Central and South that had always been known for their close unity against the three major powers of the North and the South were left with only twenty-four countries after this great change, and in the face of the giant commercial alliance, they united to block the trade routes, cut off the trade with the commercial alliance, and dealt a heavy blow to the unprepared business alliance for this chaotic expansionγ
However, with the completion of the internal governance of the Seven of the Business Alliance, the Business Alliance began to negotiate with these countries, but it has not progressed for a long time. For this reason, the business alliance formed two regular legions of about 140,000 troops to the border, and the twenty-four countries of Central and South China were not to be outdone, and also united nearly 200,000 troops to confront it, and both sides had been facing each other for more than a year, but they didn't expect to finally start a war. It seems that neither side can afford the huge consumption of armaments and materials, so it is better to divide the winner as soon as possible.
Tagar said: "Your Highness, two months ago, the Romon Empire and the Havistan Khanate also went to war, and the Kingdom of Kelia was destroyed by the Empire of Romon Empire, and the whereabouts of the Storm Sword Saint of the Kingdom of Kelly are unknown. β
Oh, but these two powerhouses are too far away from here, and Lorist doesn't care.
"The bad news is that the Knights of Lenmed have been forcibly enlisted on the front lines in the city of Morente, and the Business Alliance has declared that every citizen must do his part when it matters most. So now the newspapers and information in the city of Morent were collected and brought back by the four wives of the knights of Lunmord, half a month later than usual. Tugger said.
Belch...... Lorist was stunned, poor Knight Renmed......
