The cloud of war finally enveloped the land of Idar Territory.
Idarland is home to all of us, the land on which we all live.
During this time,
We have created miracles one after another with our hands, and we have witnessed the growth of Idarland with our sweat.
I firmly believe that
We can also use our own efforts and unity to block the greedy Odin army from the territory, so that the Idar Territory will forever become a paradise on earth where we can live and work in peace and contentment, be harmonious and prosperous!
I disdain to hide my opinions and intentions. Here, I publicly declare that the current prosperity of Idarland is not only due to me alone, not only relying on the leadership of the Stuart family, but also the joint efforts of everyone.
results!
I firmly believe that everyone has the right to hold their heads high and be human beings.
Here, serfs can rely on their own contributions to become free citizens of Idar!
Here, civilians can obtain more superior living conditions through their own labor!
But,
The cowardly Norman royal family wanted to give up the land of Idar.
The evil Court of Odin wants to return the people of Idarland to poverty!
All Idarites, let us unite!
Let us defend our rights with blood,
Let us cut down all the minions reaching out to Idarland,
Let those greedy invaders tremble under the sound of artillery fire from the Idars!
All Idar people, unite!

The above are only part of the contents of the "Letter to All the People of the Territory", but even these, when the propaganda officer of Idar Territory read it loudly on the street, it made many people of Idar Territory feel excited.
Not to mention their sense of identity and belonging to the territory of Idar, not to mention their respect and admiration for Bruno Stuart, Earl of Idar, since the founding of the Norman Empire, this is the first cover to be issued to all people.
The call is the first call to the people!
Before that, once a war or conflict broke out, the emperor's only way to respond, besides directly mobilizing the imperial sergeants under his control, was to ask the nobles to send troops. And those nobles living in various parts of the empire, in addition to dispatching their own cavalry,
Otherwise, they can only forcibly recruit militiamen in their own territory.
As for calls and appeals, haha... Anyway, in the eyes of the nobles, the militiamen are just cannon fodder, so naturally there is no need to go to such trouble, they can just send people to arrest them.
Therefore, whenever a war breaks out, there are many examples of aristocratic circles being in disarray, wives and children being separated, and families being destroyed...
However, in the Idar Territory, the army composed of civilians is no longer cannon fodder, but the main force!
What is the main force?
The Idar civilian infantry wearing full sets of armor and equipped with sharp weapons are the main force on the battlefield; the Idar civilian artillery deployed behind the infantry and equipped with a large number of magic cannons and magic crystal bombs are also the main force on the battlefield!
With Bruno's military reform basically completed, the originally most elite Guards Cavalry has been incorporated into the battle order of the Idar Army.
The tasks of guarding the lord's castle and protecting Bruno's safety are all undertaken by agents of the Idar CIA and elites drawn from the army.
Therefore, guarding the security of Idar Territory and defending against enemies from land have completely become the most important responsibility of the Idar Territory Army Forces, which is composed of civilians.
It is precisely for this reason that the advanced melee equipment produced by the Idar Steel Factory as well as powerful cross-era weapons such as magic cannons and magic crystal bombs will first meet the needs of the Idar army.
There is no cannon fodder among the soldiers of Idar Territory. The life of every Idar soldier is precious. This is the tone that Bruno set long ago.
Moreover, compared to the imperial army composed of knights, Idarland also has a natural advantage, that is, a large number of reserve soldiers!
For those young people who signed up to join the army but have not been successfully selected for the time being, Bruno set up a lot of reserve soldiers at the right time.
In normal times, the organizational form of these reserve soldiers is somewhat similar to a production team composed of serfs, who cultivate the fields during the farming season, but at the same time, they also receive a certain degree of military training every day.
In this way, both farming and training can be achieved, while providing more food for Idar Territory, while minimizing the military expenditure burden of Idar Territory and easing the financial situation of Idar Territory.
Of course, the combat effectiveness and training level of these reserve field soldiers are definitely not as good as those of the Idar Army troops who have received rigorous formal training, but once a large-scale war occurs or the loss of soldiers occurs, they can fill the military force in the shortest possible time.
defects and gaps.
This sounds somewhat similar to the military system of Idarland before the reform, which is a reversal of history, but in fact, it is quite different.
Not to mention that these soldiers all signed up to join the army with the passion of guarding the Idar territory. Bruno has made great changes in both training methods and daily arrangements.
What's more, they are just reserve forces!
However, looking back at the huge Norman Empire...
Since the number of noble knights in the Norman Empire was extremely limited, a large number of cannon fodder militia shouldered the important task of consuming the enemy's effective strength.
After all... once the most elite noble knights suffer heavy losses, the combat effectiveness of the Norman army will be greatly reduced. This is one of the main reasons why the Norman Empire, despite its strong national strength, is still hesitant and timid on the battlefield.
However, for the Idar Territory, the reserve force composed of a large number of young people who responded to the recruitment work can provide necessary combatants for the main battle force when there is a shortage of soldiers.
The huge Norman Empire suffered from insufficient reserve soldiers, but the Idarland had a large number of reserve soldiers to provide reserve support. This sounds like an extremely funny thing, but sometimes, the reality is such nonsense.
When the people of the Idar Territory enthusiastically joined the army and were ready to respond to Bruno's call, Bruno locked himself in the study of the lord's castle to make an extremely important decision.
The brilliance points of the Great Lighthouse have not been spent yet, and the [ssss] level Caracalla Baths have given Bruno a lot of brilliance points, so...at this moment, when the Idar Territory is facing threats, Bruno finally turns his attention to
It was placed in the "National Concepts" category in the system mall.
