Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

This time, the Northern Army, who had gone to the royal capital with Harvey, quickly ushered in the rotation of garrison after completely taking control of Jinhui City.

A new battalion composed of new and old soldiers will replace them and complete the next whole year of garrison for the royal capital. The troops of this Thousand-Man battalion are very mixed, and they are from the Wasteland, Grizzly Bear Leader, and Fengyuan City. ...There are even naturalized refugees from the southern part of the Principality, which can be regarded as a truly integrated defense force.

The replaced North Army did not return to Spark City immediately. In the southern combat plan formulated by Harvey, the Port of Montenegro south of Sancha Town and the port of Montenegro was raging by some lords of the neighboring Principal of Barkley. Yinsong City is an important goal that needs to be seized next.

Montenegro Port is the last important large port south of the Ralph River in the Principal of St. Valen. Taking it off is equivalent to directly opening up a convenient access to Faros, the "country of Thousand Sails", and will also provide Harvey with all The only precious sea outlet in the country.

Silver Song City is close to the Principality of Barkley and the Wizarding Kingdom Daus. After the conflict broke out, the two countries were swept by several nobles from neighboring countries who were trying to take advantage of the chaos and looting. A large number of refugees and serfs went to Montenegro Port and the royal capital. Many of them were sent by Harvey to take advantage of the situation to take them to the north.

Both cities are famous for their open trade and have no solid city as a defense. They are really not an easy-to-defense and difficult-to-attack target. Harvey ordered Pierce to sit directly in Jinhui City, and the command power will be delivered to him directly, and his three subordinates will be given The battalion department claimed the combat missions of the whole route. The third battalion commanded by Wayne was responsible for cooperating with the former chief knight Dickinson to rush to the border to persuade the surrender of the princes. The first battalion led by Vaughan went downstream to Montenegro Port, and Duff directed the second The infantry light cavalry of the battalion rushed to Yinsong City, directly sweeping away the nobles of neighboring countries who were still robbing near the town.

Not long after the Wangdu Jinhui City was captured, the morale of the entire expedition army was extremely high. This civilian army built according to the modern army template, the professional soldiers had no worries at all. After all, ordinary fiefdom nobles and knight landlords were plowing in spring and autumn. At that time, I will never leave the fields alone and easily provoke the battle... It is incredible that long-distance overseas combat like the North Army will be placed in any noble army of the South Country.

The General Staff Department, which has a prototype that can be initially operated, cooperates with political guidance from the grassroots level of the army. In actual combat, this army can no longer lead the lord personally, and can also perform combat tasks faithfully and quickly, and it is a crushing one. With strong firepower, Harvey almost had no worries about the outcome of the battle.

Compared to the battle with almost no suspense... Harvey is more worried and concerned about the fact that after completely controlling the entire Duchy of St. Valen, how to completely overthrow the old nobles and rebuild a new order belonging to the northern border.

Located in the northern and northern part of the southern continent, there are only three cities with a population of over 10,000 in the country. The first is the royal capital Jinhui City, and the second is Fengyuan City, which is located in the Fengrao Plain, with a population of 10,000. Yu, the Grizzly Bear Fort, located in the northern border area, is barely nearly 10,000 people.

These three cities are currently under the actual control of Harvey. They must set up fully functional municipal institutions in the city. The General Office of Xinghuo City has been continuously recruiting and cultivating grassroots management talents, and then selecting some of them from each city. The local little aristocrats who had been engaged in municipal management in the past were soon able to get on track and incorporate the city into the new system in the North.

But these cities are also the places where old nobles occupy the most, and the garrison must be retained. On the one hand, they resist the church's return from the outside, and on the other hand, they also need to be secretly wary of some internal aristocratic groups rekindled.

"Only by garrisoning three big cities, our troops are a little tight." Pierce has been anxious about this and repeatedly found Harvey to make suggestions, "Jinhui City has garrisoned one thousand troops, Fengyuan City also needs nearly a thousand troops, Sancha Town Strategic locations such as Heishan Port and Yinsong City need to ensure at least one garrison of 500 people. Although the Grizzly Leader is closest to Xinghuo City, a thousand garrisons are also indispensable. In addition, the five Ice Sea Exploration Base Hundreds of troops garrisoned..."

Pierce, who has always been unfaithful and petty, rarely settled the score with Harvey with his fingers, "My sir! The garrisons in various places alone account for nearly half of our total strength! Xinghuo City cannot relax its defense, and the Three Thousand Defense Forces are no matter what. Can't move! In this way... we can still mobilize less than two thousand troops freely, which is still the case where the two hundred-man artillery battalions with poor mobility are included."

Harvey actually settled the account earlier than Pierce, and couldn't help but sigh, "After two rounds of expansion last winter and early this year, we have barely increased the number of troops to nearly 10,000. At least 40% of the soldiers are newcomers who have joined the army for less than half a year, and they are already a bit too excited to put them on the shelves."

"How effective is the third round of recruitment just announced last month?"

"I have experienced two recruitment at the end of last year and at the beginning of this year, so the third round is not effective. Only less than 2,000 reserve troops were recruited..." Pierce replied very honestly, "because the expansion has been reduced by a few days. Responding to the recruitment standards, this group of new recruits is too far from our regular troops... Even if they train for another two or three months, they are just enough to meet the quality standards of the defense army."

The meaning is very clear. The quality of this group of soldiers recruited in the last round is worrying. Even if they become regular, they can only be assigned to the defensive force system and cannot be used as combat troops who can take the initiative to attack.

Harvey covered his face helplessly, thinking that when he pioneered the world and formed the first militia unit to resist the invasion of evil orcs, Pierce, under his instructions, selected refugees in the wasteland as similar to those in the selection of animals--healthy limbs and good teeth and mouth, clever ears and eyes. He was able to do it, and after only training for more than a month, he just carried his weapons and fought against the evil orcs.

Now as their own power develops faster and the scale of the army expands rapidly, the corresponding standards for recruiting soldiers are naturally raised. In fact, in Harvey's perception, civilians of this era have only accepted the basics. The literacy education can distinguish between things and left and right, understand combat instructions, and will not be afraid to escape before the battle. It is already a qualified soldier. As for combat skills... simply aiming at the enemy and pulling the trigger, as long as The amount of bullet consumption for live-fire training has accumulated to a certain level, and almost everyone can train them to become sharpshooters with perfect bullets. This is a matter of time.

"Too frequent recruitment of troops will squeeze the labor gap in other production departments, so that the military recruitment department will suspend recruitment of new recruits..." Harvey patted Pierce's shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry too much, wait until it's completely controlled. The entire Duchy of St. Valen, refugee recruitment will usher in a new peak in all parts of the country. At that time, Spark City will have a large population for us to expand the size of our army."

If all goes well, Harvey hopes to completely end the war and turmoil in the entire Principality before winter this year.
