Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 16 Restructuring
In the early morning of the third day, I watched the blind priest Koster embark on his way back to Vaal Anvil under the escort of several entourages. On a yearly basis, Imrik needs Coster to bring the hammer back to Vaal Anvil to build equipment. The few pieces of dark gold equipment he got before were also given to Coster. I only hope that he can research some useful stuff.

Let the three dragon princes follow him to the meeting hall. The two mages have gone to the mage tower of the dragon palace to study the mysteries of the runes. Imrik let them go to the dragon tamer's manuscript, and maybe they can find it from it. to some inspiration.

Sitting on the main seat, this time I intend to discuss with them the specific situation of the expansion of the army. The Dragon Prince who has been fighting on the front line for a long time will definitely be able to give himself the answer he wants, "We need to expand the army so that Caledon can become a The military as a whole, rather than relying on dragons and dragon princes."

Most of the military operations in Ulthuan are led by the commander appointed by the Phoenix King after the troops of the various kingdoms are dispatched. Generally speaking, this commander is assigned to Caledon, that is, the position of war lord, although this position will bring A lot of glory, but in fact it is a quagmire. As a war lord, he must strongly support military operations, so he will recruit a large number of troops from his own country to carry out military operations. If the battle situation is unfavorable, the blow to his country will be huge.

The troops recruited by other kingdoms also have their own characteristics, such as Tyrannok's chariots, Lothern sea guards... Only when the troops of these kingdoms are assembled can they be called a complete Asur army. The only troops are militia troops and silver helmet knights, which are common bow spears and cavalry.

The most famous of Caledor is naturally the dragon and the dragon prince, but the number of dragons is too rare. Imrik has already planned to recall the three dragons serving in the Cosque fleet. The same is true for the number of dragon princes, a total of eight. More than a hundred, this number is a bit rare compared to the thousands or even tens of thousands of cavalry that Ailion can muster.

Masno, the leader, naturally knew what Imrik meant. When he was in the dark world before, the prince said frankly that in two or three years, a storm from the north would sweep Ulthuan, and the Phoenix court was still there. Singing and dancing, thinking that he can still dominate the fate of the world as before.

The three of them thought for a long time, and carefully considered Caledor's current vacancy from all aspects. Davian was the first to speak, "Prince, I think we should form a heavy assault force similar to the Juggernaut of Hoth. Sometimes in our hard-to-reach terrain, our spearmen and rangers can't deal with Druzzi hiding in the shadows."

From Imrik's point of view, it must be covered by direct firepower, and then the dragon prince will kill all the remaining people with a wave of face riding, but the number of people is too small, and the population of Kaledo is only more than 8. Even if it is a ratio of one out of ten, only [-] people can be collected, and it will seriously affect the livelihood of the people in the country.

But the method of covering bows, arrows and ballistas is definitely not a good idea in this world with so many ghosts and monsters. After thinking about Davian's words for a while, elves generally lack heavy troops, because this will Limits speed superior to other races.

But this kind of chopper team with two-handed weapons, in fact, Imrik also thinks it is okay in his heart. Which man does not have the dream of cutting the enemy in half with a big sword, but the training of the manpower may be too late.

"You can call some people to train first. If Coster's forging can produce magic equipment in large quantities, then it will be given priority to this unit."

He knocked on the table with his fingers, and continued to think for a while. It is true that Caledon has a large land and few people, but the long-term military tradition makes Caledon stronger than other kingdoms in terms of combat effectiveness, whether it is militia or Professional soldiers, and even if they can produce excellent equipment in large quantities with hammers and runes in their hands, they cannot arm tens of thousands of troops.

Still have to take the route of elite soldiers, even if the number of people is half that of the opponent, as long as the equipment in hand is good enough and the combat skills are strong enough, then there will be no disadvantages. Although magic bows and arrows can increase a part of the upper limit of damage, they are far inferior to swords and guards. Jia came directly, and the strongest chopper team must be the cavalry, but the Dragon Prince had enough, so he made up his mind.

"I have a garrison under my command. There are 500 people. I will carry out military reform first, and the archers will be removed. There are still 200 people."

"These 200 people will form two additional troops, one is a sword-wielding assault troop, and the other is a halberd-wielding heavy troop. I need them to reach the level of the Sword Master of Hoth and the Phoenix Guard."

The three people who heard this were a little surprised. Although the garrison troops are professional soldiers, it is a bit of a fantasy to achieve the strength of the Sword Master of Horth and the Phoenix Guard. Every Sword Saint of Horth is born with extraordinary talents Humans, after a hundred years of training, can skillfully wield a great sword as tall as a man in their hands, not to mention the Phoenix Guards, each of whom has the blessing of Asuryan, which can only be said to be extremely difficult.

Imrik also knows about this, but this is a long-term goal. As long as the two troops form combat effectiveness before the Battle of the Fennoire Plain, they can follow him to carry out overseas colonization operations. This is the first step in military reform. , although the old path of the contradictory bow is a panacea, it is obviously not suitable for its own need to expand with a sparse population.

"The two of you, led by Masnow, will serve as instructors to train these two troops. I allow you to dispatch the nearby Dragon Prince to assist you. If you have any problems, come to me directly."

He took out a dragon scale warrant symbolizing Prince Caledor from his bosom, which would allow them to move unimpeded.

At this moment, I saw Davian looking at him eagerly, as if he was saying what he should do. To Davian, Imrik was really a little speechless. Arranging some work, I just want to do something. When I was camping before, Davian attracted monsters to the camp more than once, increasing the difficulty of the task out of thin air, so I could only arrange a task for him.

"The Phoenix Royal Court will hold a war council at the end of the year, and you, as my bodyguard, will accompany you to participate."

Every five years, the War Council will be held. At this time, countries will allocate the areas that need to be stationed and how many reinforcements will be sent to help neighboring countries to help defend. The previous prince was a good face, and he had at least [-] dragon princes sent to other kingdoms, half of them were in Avalon.

There were many letters sent from Avalon before, saying that they hoped that after the war council, they could be transferred back to Caledon from Avalon. Many dragon princes who have been fighting all the year round really can't stand Avalon singing and dancing all the year round. In the peaceful and rotten environment, I want to move stones back to the Longji Mountains.

Regarding this idea, Imrik can only say that he is indeed a good boy of Caledor, women are not as attractive as stones, and they have to be awarded a certificate when they come back anyway.
