Chapter 118: Warcraft Cavalry II
In addition to the top-level Warcraft cavalry, the most grouped in the major kingdoms are the low-level Warcraft cavalry such as the Iron Wildebeest Horse, the Flame Horse, and the Dragonblood Horse.
The IQ of low-level Warcraft is not comparable to that of humans, and it also surpasses that of ordinary animals, so it is not too difficult to communicate. There are some types of Warcraft that can also be cultivated on a large scale, suitable for human riding, and the speed is not slow, the difficulty of establishment is relatively low, and the resources invested are less.
However, the combat effectiveness of the low-level Warcraft cavalry is not weak at all.
Dozens of low-level magic are released, and the killing effect is not weaker than that of ordinary legendary magic.
Of course, compared to super magic like the Starlight Bomb, there is no comparison at all.
Shao Gongyuan is already the apex of legends, second only to the powerhouse of the god level, and the unique magic he created is far more powerful than ordinary legendary magic, and it is already second only to the power of the gods.
After entering the legendary level, there are four tiers, and the gap between each tier is relatively large.
Fourth-order legends, you can easily kill first-order legends. The difference in strength is as large as that of a ninth-order professional facing a first-order.
Even in the Dawn Plane, there were no more than five fourth-order legends. Such a super boss can defeat a main army when he comes out alone.
In a war, a squadron-sized Warcraft cavalry is usually more powerful than an infantry brigade.
There are more than 20,000 people in the Wild Lion Legion, and a Warcraft Cavalry Brigade has only been formed internally.
This brigade was not yet formed, and it was only organized into three and a half squadrons. The Iron Wildebeest equipped by the Warcraft Cavalry Brigade adds up to just three hundred.
The strength of the Knight Brigade of the Northern Legion is stronger, with only four squadrons and four hundred Warcraft horses.
The Grizzly Legion is the weakest, and it has only formed two Warcraft cavalry squadrons, which are not yet full, and they only have one hundred and fifty Warcraft warhorses.
The Warcraft war horses under the command of Baron Harden add up to less than a hundred. But this cavalry made numerous meritorious contributions, and its role in the war was stronger than that of the Eighth Brigade.
The defensive battle of Platos that Richard participated in that year, and the Warcraft cavalry under the command of Baron Harden were the key to victory.
The news of the formation of the Warcraft cavalry immediately caused a sensation among the soldiers, and once this army was formed, it would inevitably be the first main force in the territory.
As long as a soldier can be selected into the cavalry squadron, even if it is the lowest-ranking auxiliary, the salary is raised to ten gold coins per year.
If you can become a Warcraft Cavalry, the salary will increase.
A professional officer, with a monthly salary of two gold coins, plus a year-end reward, has an income of thirty gold coins a year.
There were no recruits in the entire cavalry squadron, and every soldier was a veteran who had practiced the breathing method.
The soldiers riding the Warcraft horses are even more selective, selecting the bravest and most combative soldiers from the various infantry squadrons.
As long as he is selected for the cavalry squadron, even if he was a contract servant yesterday, today Richard will give him the status of a free man.
In fact, the veterans of Haaland's territory have already made war exploits and restored their status as freemen. The selection criteria for the Warcraft Troopers are too high, and it is impossible for recruits to be selected at all.
The soldiers of the Warcraft Cavalry Squadron are basically from the first, second, and fifth old squadrons.
The three squadrons have been established for five years, and many veterans have a good foundation in breathing, and each squadron has fifteen Richards.
The remaining forty men were from the third, fourth, sixth, and seventh squadrons, each of which drew eight people.
The selection of soldiers has been completed, and the vacancies in the infantry squadron will be filled immediately.
The commander of the cavalry squadron became a top priority.
As a powerful assault force, the commander of the cavalry squadron must be superior in strength. At least the strength of a mid-level or higher professional must be obtained.
Although the Haaland family already has many middle-level and above professionals, William and Bernie are in the Northern Legion, Sophia is a magician, Richard needs to command the overall situation, and Roland is still a disabled person.
counted and counted, and could only let his uncle Soros serve it.
After appointing Soros as the commander of the cavalry squadron, Roland immediately came to the door.
After Roland joined the realm, under the guidance of Richard, the territory's blacksmith forged an iron leg for him.
Wearing steel prosthetics, Roland doesn't need crutches to move around.
After more than four years in Haaland's territory, Roland has trained batches of recruits for the Haaland family.
But his heart is always longing for the battlefield, and he has a heart that is not willing to be ordinary.
Hearing that the Haaland territory was going to form cavalry, Roland took the initiative to ask Ying to join the cavalry regiment, even if it was an ordinary soldier.
In fact, he had already asked for battle several times, asking to be transferred to the main squadron.
Because of Roland's unique relationship with his uncle Soros and father William, Richard never agreed.
After he explained his intentions, Richard suddenly hesitated.
"Uncle Roland, it's not that I don't agree, but I still have to talk to my father about your affairs, and at the same time I have to ask my uncle's opinion."
"Don't worry, Richard, I've already made it clear to my brother-in-law, and your father will agree. I'm a veteran, and a veteran should die on the battlefield, not in a hospital bed.
Since I connected the iron leg, it has not affected my movement. Rest assured, even if I am disabled, I am still an excellent soldier. ”
Richard did admit this. Even if Roland has a broken leg, his archery skills are far beyond ordinary soldiers, he is a gifted fourth-order professional, and his strength and physical strength are far beyond ordinary people.
Coupled with the fact that he has been in the army for many years and has rich experience in warfare, he is indeed an excellent officer.
"In that case, I will first let you temporarily act as the deputy captain of the cavalry squadron and cooperate with Captain Soros, but you still have to ask for your father's opinion on your appointment."
In addition to Roland and Soros, there are six professionals who have been transferred to the cavalry squadron this time.
Three of them were Howard's subordinates, mercenaries captured by Richard.
These men became indentured servants of the Haraland family because there was no one to pay the ransom, and they had to serve the territory for ten years.
These three people are called Baggett, Staven, and Quincy, and their professional level is not high, Quincy is a second-order professional, and Baggett and Staven are only first-order.
All of them were transferred to the cavalry squadron and held the position of squad leader.
The other three advanced professionals are veterans of the territory, named Gareth, Mick, and Van Lunding, although these three are a little slower than Darcy and Sula, they also rely on the Venant Elixir made of the internal organs of the bipedal wyvern, and successfully advanced successfully.
After killing the bipedal wyvern, relying on this batch of Tenghui elixirs, Haaland's territory has cultivated seven first-order professionals, and his strength has increased a little.
Richard estimated that one or two more professionals would be added to the realm this winter.
These six professionals all serve as cavalry squad leaders, and each squad has four Warcraft cavalry, nine ordinary cavalry, and the six squads add up to seventy-eight people.
Including the guards and cooks at the squadron headquarters, the total number is about 90 people.
Because the Iron Wildebeest also has the responsibility to expand the population, the cavalry squadron lives with the Warcraft farm.
When he is not fighting, he is also responsible for breeding Warcraft War Horses and finding ways to breed Iron Wildebeest to expand the population.
Cavalry training is very complicated, in addition to training soldiers in riding skills, and the tacit understanding with the war horse, the most important job is to desensitize the war horse.
War horses are very sensitive, and their IQ is not very smart, for example, when they see a sharp spear in front of them, they will turn around and run away.
Even in the genes of war horses, they will be afraid of the terrifying bipedal Homo erectus.
In addition, swords, guns, arrows, golden drums and horns need to be familiar to the war horse, and only when the war horse is familiar with the sound of the battlefield can the cavalry's orders be calmly carried out in the war.
An experienced war horse is worth no less than an experienced soldier.
In addition, the cavalry squadron also needs to train various tactical actions such as chopping and slashing, firing the bow immediately, lying down and hiding, and dodging arrows.
The Warcraft Cavalry also needs to keep an eye on the emotions of the Warcraft at all times.
Unlike ordinary war horses, Warcraft has a higher IQ and has a certain amount of feelings.
Only with proper communication with the Warcraft will the Warcraft know when to release the bloodline spell, when to charge, and when to retreat.
It often takes three years to train a Warcraft cavalry to really complete.
The Warcraft cavalry organized in Haland's territory is still just an empty shelf, although its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of ordinary infantry squadrons, it is not comparable with the mature Warcraft cavalry.
At the very least, the quality of the personnel is far inferior to that of Baron Harden's Warcraft cavalry.
The cavalry regiment under the command of Baron Harden has a total of more than 30 professionals.
The cavalry regiment formed in Haaland's territory now has only eight professionals.
Although Soros and Roland are already mid-level professionals, their combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to Baron Harden.
The quality of personnel is not as good as that of Baron Harden's cavalry regiment, and the number of Warcraft horses is also more than half.
The Warcraft cavalry lacked professionals, but Richard didn't have any way to conjure people.
The big nobles can also rely on their prestige to recruit wild professionals, and there will be talents who defect, while the small nobles can only rely on their own training.
As long as you become a professional, you will generally not defect to the small nobles, because defecting to the big nobles has a future, and defecting to the small nobles can only make a mess.
Even the more than 30 professionals under Baron Harden are mostly relatives and friends, as well as young people cultivated by the territory.
Baron Harden struggled for fifty years to save a Warcraft cavalry.
In just five years, Haaland's territory has developed, and there are more than 30 professionals below, surpassing Baron Harden in terms of overall strength, and the speed of development is very amazing.
Baron Harden can easily penetrate the orc brigade with his cavalry.
The cavalry under Richard could not bear such a responsibility.
Even if this Warcraft cavalry has just been formed, relying on the power of the Warcraft War Horse, it can easily defeat one or two orc squadrons, and when it encounters the orc brigade, it can't fight hard.
The Warcraft cavalry began to be formed, and Richard was also busy.
There are many things in the territory, big and small, that need to be decided by Richard.
Recently, in addition to practicing breathing and meditation, Richard has spent almost all of his remaining time dealing with official duties.
Richard knew in his heart that the stall in the territory was not small, and he could not cover everything, so he should delegate some power and train some bureaucrats to share the responsibilities that were pressed on him.
