"In AD 1897, during the Summer of the Griffin, facing the country's deteriorating situation, in order to cope with the imminent eruption of the Eternal Holy War, Renee Qin Lan, the 'Knight Princess' of the East Lan Principality, made up her mind to recover the lost glory of the Land of Lan.
She worked hard and passed many trials, and finally
Yu gained the recognition of his ancestor, the heroic spirit Roland Lan, and with the return of the Undead Chapter, marked by the 'Return Day Celebration' and the 'First Winter Hunting Season in Three Hundred Years', history has turned over a new chapter.
Page, the wolf king of the north who dominates the north has finally begun to rise again."
This is a comment made in a historical journal many years later. It is still quite normal from here...
"Of course, for most viewers, this was not the point from the beginning. Princess Renee, who never married, actually made her ancestor Roland a guardian knight. This was a hot topic in the creation of countless poems and dramas in later generations. Although
There is no detailed historical data left, but considering the chaotic family relationships of the Northlanders and the fact that Princess Renee never married, we can guess that these creations still have some real roots. As for the rumors of Princess Renee's bizarre sexual orientation,
It should just be a cover to hide from others.”

Note: This book is regarded as a banned book by the Donglan Empire and other northern countries, and the author has been banned by the Donglan people
If you are wanted and beaten because you brought this book into the North, you are asking for it and the magazine will not be held responsible."
Well, this publisher who is seeking death in the future will not be held accountable for the time being and cannot be held accountable. The trouble this guardian knight will cause in the future will not be considered. At least for now, he has indeed solved my rather embarrassing role positioning problem, which makes it even more embarrassing.
Donglan will not have the weird situation of two cores.
After all, the Dukedom of Donglan is rebuilding various legions now. And the legion commanders of each legion are undead knights. From an outsider's point of view, it is like I have directly parachuted down to take control of the new army. Naturally, I have the feeling of being an independent monarch, and some things can be avoided.
It's still good right away.
The formation of most of the legions went very smoothly. As soon as the intention to expand the army was revealed, the military headquarters and recruitment points were overcrowded. Although due to the backwardness of industry, there was no need to think about weapons and equipment, but at least the personnel were sufficient.
Training can also be enabled.
But this is a good thing. Of course, there are also those who are unlucky. Some corps encountered troubles from the beginning, which were huge problems that could not be solved in a short period of time.
"Asmu dog trainer? There is a full set of training methods, or an improved version. The applicants are all carefully selected smart boys, and they are all good prospects. Those undead rangers also showed off their unique skills in dog training.
The siege and raid by more than a dozen skeleton dogs gave the feeling of a battlefield, but the problem is..."
“Tuk fighting dogs are extinct? How is that possible?”
Okay, I really didn’t expect this question. Tuk fighting dogs are large fighting dogs unique to the North. They are half a person tall, with snow-white hair all over their bodies and are extremely cold-resistant. They have sharp teeth and sharp mouths and a keen sense of smell. They are aggressive and loyal by nature.
, are the best partners of Asmu dog handlers. After training, they even dare to fight with lions.
"We just discovered that the losses during the annihilation of the country were too great. All the domesticated fighting dogs were lost. Later, there were successive natural disasters. People could not eat enough, let alone dogs. Those who did not run into the mountains to become wild dogs were all
They were basically eaten up by the victims, at least not a single fighting dog was found in Difende.”
After hesitating for a moment, I finally asked.
"...Since fighting dogs are extinct, why not try...to become an Asmu wolf tamer? There are not many others in the North, but there are definitely enough wolves. It seems that winter wolves are also very popular.
They're strong. They seem to be all canines, so there shouldn't be much difference."
Okay. As soon as this layman's word came out, the undead rangers looked at me like they were looking at aliens.
"Your Highness, wolves and dogs are basically different species. The wild nature of wolves is difficult to tame. Moreover, winter wolves are monsters, so they have nothing to do with ordinary wolves."
I twitched my lips, but didn't say anything. Should I go and talk to them about Darwin's theory of evolution? And who knows how dogs and wolves in other worlds evolved? Maybe they are not the same species anymore. If I make a mistake,
It would be even more embarrassing.
"Being cross-racial is indeed a problem, but..."
Speaking of this, when I mentioned cross-species, I thought of that person inexplicably,
"You still like humans just because you haven't met the life and species you truly love? That has never been a problem." - BY The elder brother of a true love brother-sister duo.
So, I tried to say something.
"...Even though it sounds incredible, you can still try it. You go find the hunter named Beifeng. Erro. Well, it's the one who says 'Beef is the prisoner, Beifeng is the guilty, and Beifeng is the judge'
A legend in the world. No, don’t look at me like that. I haven’t given up treatment, and I haven’t taken any medicine today. Trust me, you go find him first and give it a try.”
The rangers left in doubt, but I was just secretly glad that I had been fooled and forgot about the matter.
But I didn't expect that two months later, the rangers would burst into my office again and tell me the amazing news.
"What, that guy actually succeeded in taming the winter wolf? Eero Polar Wolf Tamer? What's the name? By the way, how did he succeed? Huh? Why is everyone silent? Well, I know I shouldn't ask
Yes, please don’t tell me, and don’t spread it out!”
If the Aero Polar Wolf Tamers found a replacement by mistake, several legions could not be formed due to various reasons.
Black Griffin Aerial Cavalry Chapter, due to the existence of the living signature of the last dragon knight Dimel, the registration of this meritorious Chapter was also very enthusiastic, but the registration point was closed after only opening for one day, and Dimel confiscated none of them.
.
The reason? How to form an aerial cavalry regiment without powerful aerial cavalry? It can be seen from the name of the Black Griffin Chapter that there is no fundamental difference between the former Arashi Kingdom aerial cavalry and other human empires. Griffins are still the main force.
Yes, but now Donglan can afford to raise expensive griffins.
And when the Holy War has broken out, it is difficult to buy such obvious military supplies. Seeing that other brothers have formed legions, and he is still the bare commander, how can Dimel not be anxious.
"The proposal to transfer the Aurora Knight and the high-level Headless Knight into the Air Cavalry Chapter is directly rejected. Dimel, don't be so bitter. I will ask Best to capture a group of manticores and send them over. They are much more powerful than griffons.
cut."
"What? Those are two different things? Manticores cannot be tamed at all? Believe me, you may need a tragic wind. What? Group tactics can only be used with griffons in groups? Well, if you insist on griffins, I remember Xiaohong
We have a group of them. It’s okay to borrow dozens of them, but if there are hundreds of them, even if she is willing to give them, we can’t afford them.”
Just as a mechanical flying unit consumes a hundred times more energy than a tank, a large amount of extra energy must be spent to escape the shackles of gravity. The result is that flying units are generally large consumers of energy. This is true for machines, magical creatures, and even living birds of prey.
It's almost the same. Human griffins and giant eagles are good, but they still need to be fed with a lot of meat every meal.
A meal of four to five hundred griffons would probably be enough to feed ten thousand people. I am afraid that the financial and logistics manager would faint directly. But there is really not much use for griffins if they are not in groups.
"Yes, there are at most thirty cavalry. They can only be used as reconnaissance cavalry. We really can't afford to raise more."
Thirty, just thirty, is better than a mere commander. When Dimel left with a sigh, new troubles came again.
This time came Fendak and Lanny. They were both excellent users of the Holy Light. After being transformed into undead creatures, they both became excellent death knights. However, the legion they formed encountered...
There's even bigger trouble.
Originally, their "Hammer of the Dawn" war group was a Holy Light war group with Paladins and Battle Priests as the core, but now that Dong Lan is dissatisfied with the Templar Church, it will inevitably lead to a slow recruitment process, and the chief and deputy captains
Not being able to use the Holy Light is the biggest drawback.
Death knights who cannot use the Holy Light to teach Holy Light and Paladin combat skills are completely embarrassing. Moreover, undead creatures are among a large number of Holy Light users, and they might be inexplicably killed one day.
The Holy Light has purified us, so we have to guard against this.
"...How about forming a black warrior, a black knight group? Or simply a death knight group. Teach those boys the fighting methods of death knights in advance?"
In the end, the Fallen Paladin Chapter and the Death Knight Chapter gave up. After all, the professional conditions were too bad, and no living knight would take the initiative to switch to the Death Knight profession.
As the Light Knights are being formed, what Silance and I discussed as a knight of the wind can probably be described in eleven words.
"Money? Horses? Equipment?"
"No money! No horses! No equipment!"
The knights are just burning money, and the knights are spending even more money. How strong the national logistics can support a strong knights. After hearing my answer, the cool Silance turned around and left. Perhaps, from the beginning, he
I knew I couldn't get it, but how could I be willing to do it if I didn't give it a try?
I originally thought that recruiting soldiers to form a new war group would be very simple, but when I actually sat in this position and had countless chores, I realized that what I thought before was too simple.
The previous flaws can still be overcome, but there are some aspects that are almost deadlocked. The most difficult one is that Donglan lags behind the industrial level of this era.
This backwardness is present in all aspects, including forging, steel, mining, engineering machinery, and alchemy. All aspects are still at the level of a hundred or two hundred years ago. Even if there are wise kings who try to work hard in this area, they face the hostility of mainstream human society.
Not to mention the blockade, even if others were willing to sell it, Donglan couldn't afford it.
The old forging furnace is still the same as two centuries ago. All alchemy and engineering shops are low-end goods standardized within certain specifications. After losing the last rich ore area twenty years ago, the mining industry also declined rapidly. Now it is basically
It's equal to none.
In this world, if you want to forge a good sword, you must first have miners collect enough iron ore, and then process it into steel ingots and iron ingots in the steel industry, and then hand them over to the blacksmith to make them. If you encounter a high-quality sword, you must also
Enchanters and alchemists will be invited to carve magic patterns and enchant them.
With Donglan's current industrial level, not to mention analyzing the new weapons obtained from Oran, even repairing the damaged weapons and equipment in the armory is enough, let alone providing new equipment of high quality and quantity for the new legion.
.
A low-quality iron sword requires countless processes, let alone the sophisticated suit of the Ace Knights. Donglan is caught in a strange situation of having blueprints but no craftsmen, technology but no equipment, templates but no raw materials. This gap
Fortunately, I have found a lot of talents in Oran this time, from all walks of life, but it will take a lot of time for them to live and work in peace and contentment, and then truly integrate into the blood and limbs of this country. At present, we are the most
What is lacking is time.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
The sound of explosions in the distance resounded through the sky, and the flying roof beams pierced the sky and flew into the distance, but the people were no longer surprised. After all, explosions were a daily reserved subject.
Before, people couldn't understand the idea of drawing a separate area for experts in various industries to do research, but after seeing explosions in the east and west every day, they completely understood my painstaking efforts at that time.
But this time, after the explosion, I saw a familiar figure, which was Olivia, the "Miracle Alchemist" who was covered in smoke. Although she was extremely embarrassed, her face was full of excitement.
"Since learning from Silver Hook, Olivia has exploded half of the entire research area, at least three times a day, sometimes as many as ten times, without killing herself. Perhaps, this is the 'miracle'
'The origin of the name."
I objected in my heart, but Olivia smiled happily when she saw me.
"Your Highness, the thing you want me to study is clear. As you said, it may be able to change the world."
PS: Well, lately I’ve been having a hard time working during the day and working on manuscripts at night. It seems like I’ve entered a vicious cycle. Go to bed early tonight and catch your breath first.
Well, thank you all for your continued support. Your support is our motivation. I won’t say much more. Squirrel will work hard to write this book better.
