Chapter 241: Artillery Battalion [4K]
After all, Dulus chose to join, not for any "proof of identity", but because he wanted to really see if the mountain people here were doing well.
There are many things that can be seen from the army, such as whether or not to be cannon fodder.
And this time, he finally saw the horror of Kanna......
"The first brigade commander Barov led the team to report." Barlov, dressed in a brand-new oversized military uniform, reported to Commander Levi.
Levi is now in high spirits, after all, among all the officers of the same rank, only he is the youngest, and he is from the lord's side, and this discerning person who has entered the army knows that he has a bright future.
"Thank you Captain Barlov, your station is in the north of the city, let the soldiers have a good rest, you will have a half-year military training starting tomorrow, please prepare early."
"Please rest assured, sir, that my men must be the best fighters and will complete the mission." Barlov smiled confidently, and then walked towards the garrison with more than fifty mountain recruits under his command.
Durus, who had already changed into a military uniform, only felt that something was wrong with his whole body, and although the military uniform fit very well, he always felt as if his whole body was bound.
Perhaps seeing his discomfort, Barlov smiled and said, "I'm not used to it, right?" When I first put on this dress, I also felt uncomfortable, not as comfortable as animal skin.
But if you look around, both civilians and soldiers are wearing clothes, and animal skins are alien here, and it is impossible to blend in here without making changes.
I've been brought to this land five years ago by a slave caraver, and I've spent time in several Tistan cities, but I have to say that it's very different.
Even if you are a slave, you can now walk the streets in a dignified manner, except that you have no identification, in fact, it is no different from a free people, I am now accustomed to their way of life, and I am sure you will soon be able to get used to it. ”
Durus nodded and did not answer, but Baroff's words lingered in his heart, maybe he really didn't make a mistake this time?
At present, Linshan Castle has only been built in an outline, and the internal facilities are actually very rudimentary, behind the tall city walls, but there are only a few buildings.
They were the workers' temporary quarters and the barracks and school yards of several battalions of soldiers, all close to the base of the city wall, and the rest of the place was basically bare, and a large number of construction workers were sweating.
There are three brigades of mountain people, that is, more than 300 people, which are not under the jurisdiction of any battalion at present, and belong to the troops directly under the military department like the "heavy brigade".
Because of the special status of Commander Levi, many soldiers privately referred to this mountain army as the "Guards", and even many officers agreed with this statement.
Their garrison was placed separately in the west of the city, and since they were all recruits, they also needed to undergo basic military training.
Allen's military training was notoriously rigorous, and Levi learned from him, and their lives would certainly not be easy in the future.
As soon as Durus had settled down at the station, Baroff came to the door and said, "Are you literate?" ”
Dulus nodded suspiciously, although literacy is rare among the hill tribes, but as the future chief of the tribe, the old chief taught him to read and write since he was a child, although he did not learn very well, but he was not illiterate.
Baroff suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's great, I'm worried about how I can teach alone, but now you can help me share the burden." ”
His words made Dulus confused, and he said in confusion: "What to teach? I can't understand what you're saying. ”
Seeing this, Barlov patted his head and said, "Look at me, I forgot that you are not a local." You may not know it, but in our territory, everyone must be literate, and the army is a key place, and all literacy courses must be completed within a year.
As you know, the soldiers of our team used to be slaves, and although the slaves also had a special study department, they were very loosely managed, so it didn't have much effect.
But now it's different, just now the captain came to me and said that he would eliminate all the illiteracy within half a year, and the city's learning office was understaffed, so he could only teach internally.
I'm so worried, I'm a literate one up and down, where can I manage it, and now it's much better to have you help me. ”
Duruston's eyes widened in surprise, and although he was a mountain dweller, he also knew what a luxury it was to be literate, and that in the tribe it was often passed down from generation to generation by chiefs.
But he didn't expect that here, everyone was required to be literate, and even slaves had to learn, and he suddenly felt that this world was a little crazy.
In this way, this is indeed the most ideal habitat for mountain people, there is no discrimination, no one treats them like pigs and dogs, and the standard of living is not at all comparable to that of the tribe.
He suddenly felt as if he already had an answer in his heart......
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the end of the year, during this time, trade has brought a steady stream of wealth to Lane, he has signed long-term supply contracts with more than a dozen nobles, and his income is slowly rising.
When he has money, Lane's waist pole will be hard, and several factories can be said to be running at full power, and all kinds of weapons and equipment are produced in batches.
At present, the armor rate of the whole army has exceeded 70 percent, and he is confident that all soldiers will be fully armored within the first half of next year.
This is a very terrifying statistic, you know, except for those special elite legions, there are almost no troops with a 100% armor rate.
It's not that it can't be built, it's mainly that the speed of building is severely restricted, but there is no such trouble at all in Kanna, because the [Rune Press] has reduced the difficulty of making iron cuirass to an incredible level.
This is only defensive, and in terms of offense, Ryan has invested even more blood, given the considerable effect of the [Thousand Machine Crossbow] in the face of the demon seed.
Ryan gritted his teeth and equipped each battalion on the front line with a hundred handles, which was really a bloody investment, and the rare metals in the treasury were basically about to bottom out.
It's just that this still can't give Ryan an absolute advantage in the battle with the devil, so the field artillery has become the top priority of the battle.
Although the [Magic Crystal Heavy Cannon] is powerful, after all, the volume is there, and it is not suitable for the equipment of the field legion at all, so Liman has been leading his team to overcome the problem of "miniaturization".
The research team of the Rune Lab has always had the most luxurious lineup in the whole territory, and with the addition of Mei Lan later, the strength has risen to a higher level.
Mei Lan originally had a high attainment in magical creation, and after learning and mastering the essence of runes, it was like opening up the "two veins of Ren Du", which greatly accelerated the research process.
With the unremitting efforts of dozens of people, the field cannon was finally freshly baked, and Kopec named it the [Conqueror I].
The Conquistadors are somewhat similar to the mortars on the Blue Star, consisting of a barrel, a gun carriage, and a seat plate, and the firing principle is the same as that of the heavy artillery, except that their energy supply devices are separated.
In other words, the army's artillery needs to carry an additional energy supply device, which is actually a [magic well], and when the time comes, one [magic well] will supply energy to five [conquerors] at the same time, and no more will work.
Therefore, the "five" has become the basic establishment of the artillery unit of the Kana Collar.
Since the volume has been reduced a lot, the volume of the shells will naturally be reduced accordingly, so compared with heavy artillery, the power of field artillery has not only been reduced a lot, but the firing range is only about six or seven hundred meters.
It has only one advantage, and that is that it is portable.
Only two people are needed to take away a field cannon, and then a person carrying a cannonball, three people will be able to reach the sky.
Lane set about building an artillery battalion, which now has four battalions, each with thirty men and five field guns.
According to the current pace of construction, by the time the war starts, it should be able to double again, forty field guns, and heavy firepower should be no problem.
This was good news for Ryan, but the good news didn't stop there, as the exploration team, which had been adrift for more than a year, finally came back with exciting news.
That is, in the mountains not far from the city of Chelt, the exploration team successfully found a large white crystal vein with the help of the treasure hunt mouse Xiaobao.
The importance of this vein to the development of Cannar Territory is undeniable, and it can be said that with this vein, most of the difficulties that Ryan is currently facing will be solved.
And in the future battle with the "Tiankeng" devil, he will also have an overwhelming advantage, the reason is simple, as long as the number of [Crystal Bombs] is enough, he can raze the entire "Tiankeng" to the ground!
Of course, this is still very difficult to operate.
After getting the news, Ryan quickly dispatched a group of people and immediately started the excavation of white crystal, which belongs to the kind of vein that has little value, and has been rarely excavated, which also leads to very few white crystals on the market.
Therefore, many people don't understand why Ryan has to be obsessed with finding such a vein, only those in the know know how important this vein is to the development of Kana Territory, and the Rune Research Laboratory has really ushered in rapid development......
——————
After the end of the year, Dulus, who had already made up his mind, confessed his identity to Levistan, saying that he would leave the team temporarily and return to the tribe.
If he were looking for someone else, he might have been accused of wanting to be a deserter, but Levi was one of those who happened to know that Ryan wanted to subdue the mountain people.
He expressed considerable importance to what Duluth said, and reported it to Ryan, who was overjoyed after learning what Duluth's thoughts were, and bluntly said that if Duluth's people were coming, he could send an elite force to escort them.
But Dulus's answer surprised him: "My lord, my tribe is only about three hundred people, but there are millions of people living in that area.
They are all living in fear, without food and clothing, and I want to change that and bring more Tei people here. ”
This made Ryan very satisfied, and couldn't help but look up to him a little more, and agreed with his idea without hesitation.
After all, as long as there is the first person to eat crabs, will crabs be far from artificial breeding?
Therefore, Ryan appointed Duluth as the "Propaganda Officer", and the content of his responsibility is to let more mountain people know and accept Kana Ling, and track and integrate into Kana Ling.
It was also destined to be a difficult task, so Ryan found him a strong helper, and that was Kulech, who had been reluctant to cooperate with Ryan at the beginning and did not believe what he said.
But later, after his many investigations, in the end, his mentality changed like Dulus, and he was willing to return to the Warcraft Mountain Range again, regather his people, and move his clan over.
Naturally, they did not come to be slaves, and Ryan solemnly promised that as long as the mountain people migrated here, they would enjoy the treatment of free people, not only to be allocated a place to live, but also to have no shortage of land.
After all, the territory of Kanna is vast and sparsely populated, and there are still large tracts of wasteland that have not been cultivated, even if there are more than 100,000 people, they can be completely fed.
Ryan has thought about it, and Linshan City will be left to the mountain people who have migrated over as their residence, after all, they have just arrived, and if they are scattered and assigned to those towns and villages, it is easy to cause conflicts.
It's better to give them a separate place first, and then gradually integrate them when they are fully used to it, so that it will be much better.
I just don't know how many mountain people Dulus and Kuleqi can convince, and no one knows the bottom of their hearts, after all, the inherent impression and hatred cannot be eliminated in a while.
None of this Ryan knows, all he can do is wait......
After Duluth and Kuleqi returned to the Monster Mountain Range, they split up and went their separate ways to gather their clansmen.
At the beginning, there were nearly 10,000 people in Kuleqi's tribe, which was also a large tribe in the surrounding area, but unfortunately, it was attacked by a number of slave capture teams.
Many people were killed in the battle, and a group of people were captured, but fortunately, at the critical moment, Kuleqi took some of the people to stay behind, and finally the thousands of surviving people escaped into the mountains and forests, so as to avoid the end of the entire clan.
His thinking is very clear, gather his people, and then expand to the surrounding tribes, absorb all those small tribes, and then migrate to the Kanna territory, the more people, the more power he will have to speak.
Although his method is effective, Dulus obviously can't replicate it, after all, he is too far behind in terms of personal strength and tribal strength.
All he could do was slowly influence the small tribes around him, unite them, and then organize an organization similar to a sightseeing group to come to Kanna.
After all, hearing is believing, and as long as they see it with their own eyes, Durus believes that most people will agree.
Although the two people use completely different ways, they are both thinking about the future of their own nation, and thousands of years have left the mountain people too far behind.
If this continues, even if the slave team is not captured, the mountain people will eventually disappear from this world due to continuous degradation...... (End of chapter)
