Although he is only fourteen years old, he is one of the best among the young generation in Nottburg. He not only has excellent adaptability, but also has enough self-discipline, super toughness and perseverance. He actually surpassed Gavin at the beginning.
He carries out his casual teachings to the end, and it is said that his monthly training volume is astonishingly large, surpassing not only most adults, but even many professionals.
Efforts are directly proportional to rewards, which allowed him to start a professional career at the age of fourteen.
What really made him stand out was the remains of the strategy book that Gavin had given him as a gift. He actually learned something from it and put it into practice, leading a group of children to form the Boy Scouts.
In every battle, it played an unexpected role.
Zalanda simply made an exception and recruited him into the Nott Guards, and that was the beginning of his success. He used his mind to convince the Nott veterans. It was also from him that Zalanda's army began
Soldiers pay more and more attention to the book of strategy.
Different from those soldiers who respect the Lady of Strategy because of this, Darren hides a secret in his heart, a secret that only he and the Lord of Zalanda know. The Book of Strategy does not deny the fact that the Lady of Strategy was given to Zalan by others.
Da, but not written by his own young master Gavin Nott, and personally delivered to the Lord of Zalanda.
They all believe in the wrong person, and the one who should be respected for this is Master Gaiwen.
But if he is restricted by the oath, he has no way to correct other people's views, so he can falsely declare that he is Master Gaiwen's student, and everything is taught to him by Master Gaiwen, and outsiders will think that he is
Is he talking about training methods? I don’t know if he is talking about the book of strategies in the past and the current way of war.
"Okay, he was right. Not only did I complete the task he assigned me brilliantly, I even left such a big surprise for him." Gavin helped Darren up and laughed happily.
smiled.
The circumstances of life are very strange.
At the beginning, he did not realize that Darren was not a piece of rough jade and could not do whatever he wanted. However, he did not expect that he would actually harvest a good seedling in the end.
Darren couldn't hide his nervousness, "Master, General Copperfield is overrated. His capabilities are not as strong as he said. For him to command so many regular knights and so many people, Yuanji is beyond his capabilities."
, Is the life and death of one person small, but the life and death of countless soldiers, soldiers and civilians is big."
So far, the one he has led the most is a hundred-man ranger.
Now he was suddenly asked to lead a 2,000-man army, which had to be assembled by himself. He was somewhat confused, but in that situation, fully expressing what he meant was not considered acceptable at his age.
Outstanding strength.
"Sometimes you can feel something like this yourself, but no outsider can see it more accurately. He understands General Copperfield's temperament, and he always talks about it one by one, and be honest about it. If he says I can do it, I definitely can do it.
It’s just that I didn’t notice it myself.” Gavin patted Darren heavily on the shoulder and encouraged him, “But he had the final say on that matter, and the Lord of Zalanda City did.
Forget it, City Lord, am I willing to let him go?"
Although the two have a close relationship, and Zalanda has made it clear that he will be sent to Baron Nott's position, and the original number of Nott's guards will be entrusted, but the process of some things is not indispensable.
Because in her position, she represents an interest group.
"Just ask Darren to nod, and he will have no objection." Zalanda said cheerfully.
"Darren." Everyone's eyes were focused on the young man again.
"Darren is willing to follow the young master to the death." Darren was so excited that he wanted to kneel down, but was held back by his thighs like iron pincers.
"Very good, the matter is settled then." Gavin made a final decision, "The vanguard army of side vans will be handed over to Commander Darren, and all war horses will be given priority to them to ensure that each vehicle is fully equipped.
Four chariot horses, each with a war horse, a thousand men armed with spears, and a thousand men armed with crossbows.”
The number of horses in Darauma is not in short supply, but not at all. Tethyr is a kingdom of knights after all, and horses are not the most important means of transportation. Only qualified manor owners, or even farmers, will keep them in captivity.
Several horses are used as means of transportation.
The two thousand men brought by Copperfield all came on war horses, and some even had one or two spare horses or burden horses.
Those war horses and rogue horses are probably the personal belongings of those warriors and mercenaries, so naturally they cannot be requisitioned at will.
But whether it is possible to buy the excess from their legs at a high price and distribute it to areas in need, then it is also possible to do what Donglai asked for.
Gavin turned to look at another woman who stood out from the crowd and said: "Ms. Carissa, he wants to ask me to be the deputy commander of that legion and lead all the Goliaths to form General Darren's personal guard to assist him in controlling
The whole army."
He had just scanned Dongdalen's specific attributes, and the profession he transferred was not a warrior, but a spell-casting professional battlefield mage unique to Tethyr, with only three professional levels.
That kind of mage usually undergoes various military trainings from an early age, and the requirements for mage knowledge are not high, because that profession gives up part of the improvement of a regular mage (it has half of the spell slots of a regular mage) and specializes in combat spellcasting and wand use.
The professional levels of three battlefield mages are enough for them to use three-ring magic wands like ordinary sixth-level mages. The most representative natural fireball wands and paralysis wands allow them to become spell turrets on the battlefield, providing group attacks and
Control support.
His attributes are well-proportioned, all above twelve points, and his highest natural intelligence reaches fourteen points.
It's natural to look at him in front of Gavin's group of monsters, but if he is compared to his peers, especially those who lack basic education, he is not considered to be born with high intelligence.
Want to control an army, especially one where rebellious mercenaries make up the majority.
Just like what Copperfield said, personal combat ability is one of Fdalen's major shortcomings, and it is too late to use the elite grace of Zalanda's way of war to catalyze it to transcendence.
Gavin can equip him with a capable lieutenant and a group of powerful personal guards. This group of Goliaths are tall and powerful and have amazing close combat capabilities. There is no doubt that he is choosing.
"Zuo Ming." Carissa stood up and responded.
When she agreed to help Gavin and escort the Dalauma immigrants to the valley, she had already adjusted her mentality and regarded herself as one of Gavin's soldiers.
Gavin turned around that time and was a little confused. It was as if he was lying to a young man and said: "Don't refuse in a hurry, but you are not qualified. You will know if you try it. I will keep that book. Is it a brand new way of war?"
There are records about the application of sidecars and car formations. Give me three days to come up with a draft for preparing to build a vanguard army and the specific use of car formations. Don't worry about mistakes, think boldly, and form an army.
, it’s not my job alone, they will also help with some preparation work.”
That matter has not yet been decided. Whether Darren is qualified to be the commander of the sidecar army depends on his performance when he comes from the east.
Darren was now in a hurry, took the copy of the Way of War from Gavin's leg, and said loudly: "He will definitely do his best to complete this matter, but he has a request, please the young master and the city lord
Your permission."
"explain."
"Can you transfer the cavalry brigade he originally led to him?"
After Gavin and Zalanda looked at each other wrongly, Gavin nodded and said, "As long as I can convince them to follow me, that's fine. But can you please warn me in advance that nepotism is undesirable, especially if you don't
That kind of newly formed army."
Darren saluted respectfully and said: "To follow the teachings of the young master, he needs his own trusted informants so that he can understand and control the entire army. As for how far they can do it, it depends on their capabilities. He doesn't
They will be promoted at will based on their relationship with them, and they will not be rewarded for their merits based on whether they avoid suspicion."
Gavin laughed and said, "I think I have successfully taken the first step. If I continue to work hard in that direction, let me go too."
With a wave of his legs, Gavin ordered someone to add another seat.
Darren refused to go to the port, so he could go east, but he didn't dare to go straight, so he just walked around the corner.
Regardless of his age or strength, he felt inexplicably weak when he walked in that room.
Is this a normal phenomenon of being promoted beyond a higher level? He needs a period of time to adapt. The most important thing is to accumulate his own self-confidence. The simplest way is to quickly accumulate outstanding military achievements. This is not something he wants to have.
Gavin ignored Darren's little thoughts, and turned to Nora and said: "The Nott Guards also need to expand. Give me a thousand places, whether they are recruited from immigrants or from those mercenaries."
The solution is to put up a good fight with him and recruit him before departure."
Compared with a migrating team of ten thousand people, a cavalry team of one hundred people is too small.
A thousand soldiers were established, and there was the Blood Claw Legion in front of them to help them clear the way.
"Promise to complete the task." Nora responded confidently.
The one hundred Nott Guards in her legs were originally used as seeds. Each person with ten recruits would form a thousand-man army.
As for the running-in training, it can be done on the road.
After a series of appointments, the framework of the entire immigration team was basically set up, and it was enough to fill it with civilians.
As for some of Chengdong's more critical appointments, Gavin no longer consulted everyone's opinions, but directly made a decision: "Anna, I serve as a part-time medical team leader, and I am responsible for coordinating the supplies they carry.
, organize all the pastors and doctors among the immigrants to form a medical team to handle various medical affairs.
Laura, I am responsible for controlling all the trees and enlightenment trees, and assisting Anna in material supervision, distribution and other related matters. We hope to formulate corresponding procedures as soon as possible to ensure the management and control of materials."
That matter is naturally not a top priority.
If people eat horse chews, the amount of food consumed every day will be a terrifying figure. It must be managed by a dedicated team and controlled by trustworthy people.
Gavin is now determined to train Anna in that direction.
Although Anna was still a little frightened, she didn't know that she had accumulated some experience in Anfeier Village, so she had some clues this time.
Zalanda raised a new question on the side: "Those immigrants have different levels of wealth. Some are on the road with rich food, and some are poor and poor. How am I going to balance this? If I can't do it,
Well, it will trigger external conflicts."
"He has already considered that issue." Gavin frowned involuntarily, "He has a preliminary idea, whether to buy all the grain in the legs of citizens according to market prices and conduct unified liquid processing.
Distribute them uniformly and start the army in units of hundreds, which will save a lot of time.
Those bulky items that citizens need to carry will be registered and handed over to him through the shadow plane to transport them to the manor. When the time comes, people will be needed on the way, so it will be much easier."
Is that a typical military management model?
When the time comes, they will not be leading a group of immigrants, but an army.
"If we agree with him, he will personally come forward to help advance this matter." Zalanda took the initiative.
"That matter must be the Lord of the City. Others do not have such a high influence. After all, whether it is a major matter related to their life and death, it is very likely that they will give rise to resistance." Gavin couldn't help but sigh, "Actually,
The best solution to this matter is not to pay cash on the spot, but to wait until they arrive in the valley before paying them, or to use food as cash, but otherwise this matter requires a very high degree of trust, and the city owner is afraid
Not even adults."
"Winning the trust of the people is a long-term task. Just ask me to successfully bring them back to the valley, and I will begin to accomplish this." Zalanda also knows the difficulty of this matter, "Even if he refuses, I will do it."
They were less than 100% convinced, so they made two preparations for the matter. Those who were willing to sell food to them would be responsible for the entire food supply. Those who were unwilling to sell to them would be left to deal with it on their own.
Until they sell the grain to them, he estimates that a large part of the grain transaction will be completed on the road, so I have to be mentally prepared."
"Is that indeed an effective compromise?" Gavin agreed. "The process of migration will also be the process of them getting along with each other and gaining trust. Just follow what the Lord of the City said."
What Gavin and Zalanda said has a major premise, that is, whether the food is provided on the road is sufficient and the distribution is sufficient and the purchasing level is reasonable, then the citizens will continue to sell food to them, and unified
Distribute management, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
In this regard, not only the client Gavin, but also Zalanda was deeply confident, because she believed that Gavin was not that kind of short-sighted person and would not do stupid things just to make a small profit.
With the introduction of a series of policies, it indeed caused an uproar throughout Dalauma.
"What do you think about the fact that we made the mistake of selling the grain to Lord Gavin and letting them distribute it uniformly under military control?"
"There are pros and cons."
"Let's talk about it in detail."
"Is there any benefit? They sold the grain to Lord Gavin, which means that he will bear the cost of migration food for free, reducing their burden along the way. Just bring the simplest luggage with them. He is already at the recruitment point and has shown
There is a large amount of real gold, red and silver, which cannot be faked. I heard that some people have already entered military control, and the food provided is very good."
"What about the cons?"
"The disadvantage is that without food in their legs, they are completely tied to Lord Gavin and can follow him all the way to the dark side. Once there is a shortage of food, it will be collective. At that time, everything can be pinned on Gavin.
Lord Wen’s method of doing things is.”
"The disadvantages I mentioned do not exist in his opinion. Since they have chosen to travel thousands of miles on the road of migration, why don't they choose to believe in Lord Zalanda, believe in Lord Gavin's character, and believe that they can find anything in the valley?"
A better life?
If you can't give him that trust, it would be better to stay in Darauma honestly, at least without taking any risks.
As for being completely tied up, when I get to the wilderness, even if I am given enough food, do I dare to leave the group and walk into the wilderness alone?
Once on the road, they must follow the large group to the dark side, and they must trust Lord Gavin.
When the time comes, they choose to compulsorily collect grain and unify military control. How am I going to respond?
Therefore, it is the most correct choice to obey the big policy, sell all the food and materials to Lord Gavin, and travel with gold coins.
If the lord wants to gain their allegiance, he must treat them well. Even if they are slaves, the slave owners will not let them starve to death on the road, otherwise they will lose their value."
"Sir's words are truly wise words. He analyzes the whole matter extremely thoroughly. Anyway, he can't walk to the valley with the food in his legs. It would be better to leave it to him from the beginning.
Lord Gavin is in charge.
By then, even the grain will be saved. He heard that the valley is famous for its granaries, and they can buy more grain with the gold coins in their legs."
"No, even if they prepare enough food for the journey, what will they do when they get to the valley? They have to rely on Lord Gavin at first? That decision is just a matter of whether to make it sooner or later."
"Even if I don't want to sell it, I don't want to be so sincere. I'll prepare some easy-to-carry food so that it can be used in emergencies in critical moments."
"Ha, even a fool can have those little tricks."
"Let me put it this way, he is worse than an idiot."
"I won't leave any of it and sell it all, right?"
"No, anyway, he is alone and has enough to eat. The whole family is not hungry. He does not want to forget his old profession. If he can be a hunter, he just wants to have a bow in his legs. Walking in the wilderness, he is worried about not having enough to eat.
?”
"That's right. I heard that they are recruiting hunters like me to prepare a hunting team. I guess they will prepare hunting supplies along the way."
"He just came back from there. He was given a small card and asked to report to the military camp. I don't know what kind of job he was assigned."
"No matter what kind of job there is, it's a good thing. I heard that no matter what kind of job there is, there will be corresponding subsidies. When the settlement is unified in the valley."
"That's such a good thing? I wonder if there is a job suitable for him?"
"You can go and ask. At worst, you can become a collector."
