Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

In the early morning of the third day, I watched the blind priest Coster, escorted by several escorts, embark on his return journey to the Val Anvil. The number on the cowhide book did not decrease, it was still three in Roman numerals, regardless of whether the three was in months or in months. On a year-by-year basis, Imric needs to ask Coster to return to Vaal Anvil with a hammer to build equipment. Several pieces of dark gold equipment that he had obtained before were also given to Coster. He only hopes that he can research some Useful stuff.

He asked the three dragon princes to follow him to the meeting hall. The two mages had already gone to the wizard tower in the dragon palace to study the mysteries of the runes. Imric let them go to the manuscript of the dragon tamer, and they might be able to find it. get some inspiration.

Sitting on the main seat, this time he planned to discuss with them the specific situation of army expansion. The Dragon Prince, who had been fighting on the front line for a long time, would definitely be able to give himself the answer he wanted, "We need to expand the army so that Caledo can become a The military as a whole, rather than relying on the dragon and the dragon prince."

Most of Ulthuan's military operations are led by commanders appointed by the Phoenix King after each kingdom sends troops. This commander is usually held by the Caledonians, which is the position of war lord. Although this position will bring There is a lot of glory, but it is actually a quagmire. As a war lord, he must strongly support military operations, and then he will recruit a large number of troops from his own country to carry out military operations. If the war situation is unfavorable, the blow to his country will be huge.

The troops recruited by other kingdoms also have their own characteristics, such as Tyranlock's chariots, Lothern sea guards... Only when all the troops from these kingdoms are gathered together can they be called a complete Assur army. The only troops are militia troops and silver-helmeted knights, which are common bows, spears and cavalry.

Caledor is naturally most famous for its dragons and dragon princes, but the number of dragons is too rare. Imric has planned to recall the three dragons serving in the Cosqui fleet. The same is true for the number of dragon princes, a total of eight More than a hundred, this number is really rare compared to the thousands or even tens of thousands of cavalry that Erion can summon.

The leader, Masnow, naturally knew what Imric meant. When he was in the Dark World, the prince said frankly that in two or three years, a storm from the north would sweep across Ulthuan, and the Phoenix King's Court was still there. Singing and dancing, they thought they could still control the fate of the world as before.

The three of them thought for a long time, carefully considering the current vacancy in Caledor from all aspects. Davian was the first to speak, "Prince, I think we should form a heavy assault force similar to the Sword Master of Hoth. Sometimes in terrain that is difficult for us to reach, our spearmen and rangers are unable to deal with the Druchi hiding in the shadows."

From Imrik's point of view, it must be direct fire coverage, and then the Dragon Prince will ride on his face to kill all the remaining people. However, the number of people is too small. Caledor has only a population of more than 800,000 at full count. , even if the ratio is one out of ten, we can only make up 80,000 people, which will seriously affect the people's livelihood in the country.

But the method of covering it with bows, arrows and crossbows is definitely not a good idea in this world where there are so many monsters and monsters. I pondered Davian’s words for a while. Generally speaking, elves lack heavy equipment, because this will Limits the speed that is superior to other races.

However, Imrik actually thinks that this kind of two-handed chopper team is okay. Which man doesn't have the dream of cutting the enemy in half with a big sword, but the training of manpower may be a little too late.

"You can gather some people for training first. If Coster's forging can produce magic equipment in large quantities, then it will be given priority to this army."

He tapped his fingers on the table and continued to think for a moment. It was true that Caledo was vast and sparsely populated, but the long-term military tradition made Caledo stronger in combat effectiveness than other kingdoms, whether it was militia or militia. He is a professional soldier, and even if he can mass-produce excellent equipment with hammers and runes, he will not be able to arm tens of thousands of troops.

You still have to take the route of elite soldiers. Even if the number of people is less than half that of the opponent, as long as the equipment in hand is good enough and the combat skills are strong enough, there will be no disadvantage. Although magic bows and arrows can increase part of the damage limit, they are far inferior to swords and armor. A came directly, and the strongest member of the 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, with 3,500 people. I will first carry out military restructuring and remove the archers, leaving 2,200 people."

"These 2,200 people will form two additional units, one is a sword-wielding assault unit, and the other is a halberd-wielding heavy-arms unit. 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 was a professional soldier, it was a fantasy to reach the strength of the Sword Master of Hess and the Phoenix Guard. Every Swordsman of Hess was gifted. It would take a hundred years of training for a person to be able to skillfully wield a sword as tall as a person in his hand, not to mention the Phoenix Guards, each of whom has the blessing of Asuryan, so it can only be said that it is extremely difficult.

Imric also knows this, but this is a long-term goal. As long as these two forces form combat effectiveness before the Battle of Fennoir Plains, they can then follow him to carry out overseas colonial operations. This is the first step in military restructuring. , Although the old path of Zibi Gong is a panacea, it is obviously not suitable for its own plan of expansion with a sparse population.

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

He took out a dragon scale warrant from his arms that symbolized Prince Caledor. This thing would allow them to move smoothly.

At this moment, he saw Davian looking at him eagerly, as if he was telling him what he should do. Imrik was indeed a little speechless towards Davian. This guy was like a husky sometimes, not giving him anything. Arrange some work, just think about doing something. When camping before, Davian attracted monsters to the camping area more than once, and increased the difficulty of the task out of thin air, so he could only arrange a task for him.

"The Phoenix King's Court will convene a war council at the end of the year, and you will accompany me as my bodyguard."

Every five years, the War Council will be convened. At this time, it will allocate the areas that countries need to garrison and how many reinforcements to send to help neighboring countries. Caledor always suffers in this matter, because it is strong enough and strengthens The previous prince was so proud that he had at least 300 dragon princes dispatched to other kingdoms, half of whom were in Avalon.

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

Regarding this idea, Imric could only say that he was indeed a good man from Caledor. The attraction of women was not as strong as that of stones. He had to give them a certificate whenever he came back.
