Brando was depressed for a moment, and then became happy. He suddenly thought that Belu and Tamar of this era may not be considered the top in Warnd in this era, but they are still top-notch masters in Eruin. In the past year,
With the support of the two of them alone, the territory was armed with two elite soldiers, the Wind Archer and the White Lion Guard. Now, the armament of Tonigel, a small place, has long been among the best in the kingdom, which is something that other lords could not even imagine in the past.
In the past six months, with the large-scale influx of refugees from all over the world during the Black Rose War, Brando began to have a large number of reserve troops in various training camps in Tonigel. As long as he wanted, he could pull up an army at any time.
The scale is not inferior to that of Jean Denel or the noble private army of Duke Viero. But Brando comes from a later generation and has personally experienced the epic and magnificent Slate War. He looks down on the northern and southern nobles at all.
Those so-called armies, in his opinion, the armies below the third level can only be called militia groups, which can be responsible for local security, but can never be used for war. It is for this reason that for Tonigel, armaments
The problem has now become the main problem preventing the expansion of the army. Only the non-commissioned officers of the White Lion Guard can wear inferior magic armor. Even the production of ordinary second-level white lion armor is still limited. The fir territory has enough energy to produce every month.
There are only more than a hundred sets. The situation is even more serious for the Wind Archer, because the Wind Archer must match the Wind Archer's mail armor and longbow. Due to production limitations, the expansion of this army is astonishingly slow.
Regarding this issue, Antitina and Kuran both felt that Brando's idea was too naive, and could even be said to be a waste. It was purely using money to build an army, but the staff lady thought more.
Going deeper, she vaguely thought that her lord might care about the princess's opinion. After all, an elite army of more than a thousand people sounded much more reassuring in name than the armies of thousands of other nobles.
Brando's reputation for 'spending' quickly spread among his own men. Even Yoda and several other former mercenary group leaders privately discussed whether the Lord was influenced by the Buga people.
The influence was too profound, but how could the wealth of mortals compare to that of wizards? What would happen if the crystal mineral deposits in the Black Forest were mined out? This kind of discussion was so popular that even the copper dragon Leto came to persuade him.
Brando also smiled bitterly at this. Fortunately, he did not dare to tell these people his true purpose, otherwise he would scare them all to death. In his plan, the core strength of Eruin's future army is the White Lion
Infantry is also the basis of Eruin's army, which is equivalent to the second-line local army with the largest base in the Kingdom of Eruin. As for the fourth, fifth, and sixth-level troops, we must also find ways to cultivate them. As Eruin's characteristic elite army,
Now he has a quasi-fourth-level soldier like the Wind Archer. If he can persuade the centaurs to join his army, and if he can get the design drawings of the Silver Crown Guards' armor and halberd from the Tower of Airland, he will be able to
With more training, Eruin will have a real fourth-level army; the fifth-level army is sure to be the Druid's Elder Guards or Ancient Tree Guards, but the Druid is too old-fashioned and may not join his chariot, which is safer.
The main consideration is to make an idea from Naga. Although the Four-armed Siren and Poseidon Guard are weaker than most of the fifth-level troops on land, they are still a type of fifth-level troops after all. The important thing is that Naga and the land people have no core interests at all.
conflict, and the kingdom has a fleet that can become their staunchest ally at sea, and Naga should not be stingy about leasing the troops on hand. Eruin can hire these overseas troops in the name of mercenary. He originally chose
Form an alliance with the Gray Fin Naga. After the Battle of Ampelsel, the Empire must exchange the frigate blueprints. In fact, they have already made plans in this regard.
With the fourth-level and fifth-level arms, Eruin's strength should be comparable to that of the kingdom during the Ek Dynasty. By that time, Her Royal Highness can completely rely on the central military power to subdue the whole country and make the kingdom's power highly unified.
, thus realizing the transformation from local enfeoffment to centralization. As for the sixth-level arms, Brando still has no clue. In the history of Eruin, the only arms above level six are the Silver Elf Temple Guards. And the number does not exceed one hundred.
Name, his only hope now is the power of Valhalla. But once Eruin has the sixth-level troops, he will be able to not fall behind in terms of strength in front of Madala. After all, Madala is not the only one facing Eruin.
As an enemy of Eruin, it is impossible for it to use all its strength to fight against the threat of such a borderland. Once Eruin has such strength, it can completely force Madara to shift its expansion direction to other countries. And this ancient
The kingdom will also be restored to its heyday.
But these plans are undoubtedly fantasy for Antitina and the others. In their eyes, the Kingdom of Eruin is just a relatively independent kingdom around Cruz. Its military strength has never been weak, but it cannot be said to be strong. You must know that in the north
Cruz Empire. Although the basic arms of the four legions under direct control of the central government are the fourth-level Imperial Guards, in fact, among the aristocratic private armies and local garrison forces that account for the largest proportion of the empire's total military strength, the third-level imperial aristocratic cavalry
The second-tier imperial spearmen are still the main force, and these local troops face the same problem as the kingdom, which is the low level of training and the breakdown of discipline caused by the long-term peace. Except for a few border areas, the empire
The armies in most regions have this problem to some extent, and in the evaluation of the Temple of Fire, the combat effectiveness evaluation of the imperial noble cavalry has dropped below the lower limit several times in the past two years to be on par with the second-tier arms.
Of course, the empire also has fifth-level Pegasus Knights, fifth-level Holy Grail Knights, sixth-level Sword-wielding Crusaders, sixth-level Holy Oil Knights and Temple Ascetics, and even Royal Griffins and Royal Astrologers.
There are military units that exceed the seventh level like the Temple Priests and the famous upper-level forces that are above the tenth level such as the Flame Knights. However, these armies are deterrent forces, and their numbers are often small, and they are like Faenzan and Saint Oso.
In these huge empires like ours, high-level arms are the prerogative of the empire and are a game between big powers. Once arms above level six are owned by a small country like Eruin, it will basically change the current continental order.
, why Eru is so famous, even the Buga people have paid attention to such a small kingdom, it is precisely because he once had a complete system of white lion infantry and temple guards.
But that was just a flash in the pan. Nearly ten centuries later, nothing like this happened again in Warnd's history.
Therefore, Antitina, Kuran, and the mercenary captains under Brando did not think about these aspects at all. They only felt that their lords were too idealistic in their actions.
Elite soldiers are good, but this is too much. Brando didn't bother to explain to them that his goal was never at the moment. The goal of purging the country was no longer worth mentioning in his eyes. The nobles in the north saw
The threat in the future is great. But as Valhalla grows, it is nothing more than a chicken and a dog. Whether Eruin can build such an army will determine whether the kingdom can finally get out of its destined destiny in the future.
This is the most important thing.
Brando has never forgotten that although Eruin's outdated nobles brought this kingdom to ruin, what really caused its demise was the rising dangerous enemy in the east.
He has great power, acts arbitrarily and unhurriedly, and implements his military expansion plan. However, despite the apparent stability, the anxiety in his heart is actually getting worse day by day. Time will not stop and wait for anyone. In fact, various signs indicate that history
Instead of stopping to wait for him, the development of Eruin has developed even more rapidly because of his arrival. Countries around Eruin have begun to make moves, but the development of his territories is still proceeding slowly. Antitina and the others can see that
At this point, he was reminded overtly and covertly to relax his requirements. Expanding the army as quickly as possible is the right thing to do, but he didn't understand it. But the question was, what was the point of expanding the recruitment of cannon fodder?
They simply don't understand what kind of opponent Eruin is facing now.
The entire kingdom is still looking at the coming era of war and chaos with old eyes, but in fact, Madara, Cruz and even the wind elves and Faenzan are rapidly navigating this era of drastic changes before the arrival of the great demonic tide.
The land is completing military reforms. The Bromando Rose in the darkness takes the lead, followed by the Faenzan people. Next is Saint Osor, who is a direct enemy of Madara, and the Cruz people finally fight under Emperor Lenaret.
He completed the reform under the auspices of the emperor, so he also suffered the biggest loss in the war. But he was an empire, and the empire's foundation and the strong support of the Temple of Fire allowed it to fail temporarily, but Eruin did not have such a strong strategy.
Depth.
The only one Eruin can learn from is Madara, and he must be one step ahead, otherwise he will only end up dead.
This war is a harbinger. The real beginning of wind and rain originated from the second Black Rose War three years later, but that is what happened in history. Brando cannot guarantee the second Black Rose War in this era.
Will it start early? But in this war with the Blood Staff, he must try his best to find out how big the gap is between the kingdom and Madala in this era. Of course, it is best to give Madala a
Warning, so that the other party feels that the kingdom is not so weak and can be bullied, then those skeletons may think more time before choosing to launch the second Black Rose War.
Every minute is a hope of redemption for Eruin.
Therefore, Brando must be cautious and try his best to enhance his strength before the war, and now the joining of a group of master craftsmen like Babu has undoubtedly given him a shot in the arm, which makes him overjoyed.
Tony Geer suddenly has more than ten craftsmen on the same level as Belu and Tamar. What does that mean? It means that the output-especially the output of magic equipment has been doubled, and the significance of this increase represents
The first step of his plan is finally on the right track.
Make the White Lion Guard the foundation of the kingdom's central army.
Brando thought for a while before he came back to his senses. He seemed to have woken up from a long period of thinking, and then asked: "Lord Babu, can the Valulen Warrior Hall be put into operation now?"
"As long as I have the materials, I can do it at any time." Babu replied.
Brando immediately took out a set of white lion armor from the dimensional cave, pointed at the armor and asked Barbu: "Master Barbu, how long does it take for you to produce a hundred sets of armor like this?"
Lando took out the unenchanted white lion armor. Babu only glanced at it, shook his head contemptuously and said: "We will not produce armor like this. I don't think this kind of paper armor exists at all."
the value of."
Brando couldn't help but screamed in his heart, "Holy shit," thinking that although this suit of armor was a little shabby, it was still the latest double-hinged armor designed by Belu, and its defense of up to 5 was considered to be outstanding among the white plate armors.
I didn't expect that it turned into paper in Babu's eyes. Just kidding, why don't you use paper to paste a set of plate armor for me and let me take a look? He cursed in his heart, but there was no sign of anything strange on his face, and he took out the
A set of enchanted armor for sergeants came and asked: "What about this one?"
"Barely enough," Barb replied, "I remember I once built a set of toys for my son, probably similar to this set."
Brando almost spit out a mouthful of blood. He finally understood. It turned out that although the experience and level of these giant craftsmen were limited, their knowledge was still very high. They simply evaluated these armors with the eyes of their own time. So,
Judging from the perspective of the era when Cloud Giants still existed on the earth, the white lion armor was indeed just made of paper. I am afraid that these giant craftsmen were surprised before. They probably had never seen anything like this before.
It's so cheating that the armor is not enchanted.
Brando suddenly felt frustrated that he had been despised by the rich. He couldn't help but said feebly: "Master Babu, how many such armors can you make? I urgently need such a batch of armors to arm my army.
"
"Lord, you should call me the title of craftsman," Babu replied. Although he is a high-minded person, he is not an inexperienced fool. He could probably guess it when he saw Brando's expression.
After wondering what kind of mistake he had made, he quickly replied: "Sir, please rest assured that the forging technology of these armors is really simple for us. It should be no problem to build two thousand sets of these armors in a month."
Brando was immediately stunned. He looked at the entire Valulen Warrior Hall, and then at Babu. If it weren't for the other party's great reputation, he would have thought that this guy must be deceiving him. Such a situation
There are a dozen or so craftsmen in a hall, even if they are master craftsmen, but is it possible to create two thousand sets of magic armors in one month - even the most inferior ones? Even if Belu and Tamar do it themselves
, it would take at least half a month for the two of them to complete a piece of armor. You must know that the output of the Fir Territory is not only supported by the two of them, there are also a large number of craftsmen in the Fir Castle who come from refugees from all over the world.
"Two thousand sets. There are more than ten of you?" he asked a little dryly.
"Oh, that's not the case," Babu shook his head: "Lord, you are wrong. In addition to us, there are many heroic craftsmen in this hall. We can control the heroic spirits to work in this warrior hall. Although this hall
The size of the hall is still very shabby, but two thousand sets of magic armor of that level a month is still no problem."
After Babu's explanation, Brando finally understood. It turns out that this Valulen warrior hall is similar to Monica's vortex of light. It can also control heroic spirits to work. But it is different from the lair of the vortex of light.
, the warrior hall can only have more craftsmen when it expands, and Babu and the others are the leaders of these craftsmen. He suddenly became excited, and two thousand sets of white lion armors every month are still enchanted, which means
The White Lion Army can finally expand its recruitment on a large scale. Although the newly recruited troops may not be as reliable as the veterans, as long as they put on these enchanted armors, they will have the strength of the second-tier troops at best. Otherwise, why did the Cruze's third-tier noble cavalry degenerate like that?
Do you have second-level strength? Doesn’t it just rely on equipment? The local troops of the empire and the private armies of nobles can afford the magic equipment. Now Eruin’s basic troops can finally be popularized. Although it costs a lot of money, at least
For Brando, the problems that money can solve are not enough for the time being.
After all, there are some things that money can't buy.
And as long as this output is tilted half towards the wind shooters, then the army composed of fourth-level shooters will soon be able to form an army, or even a little bit faster, and the number of people will be doubled before the end of this war.
It doesn't seem to be impossible. A 1,200-person army of shooters composed of fourth-level soldiers. This is in the Year of the Sword. Brando almost drooled, but in order to avoid damaging his image, he
He quickly wiped the corners of his mouth, causing Medisa to burst into laughter.
But at this time, a discordant note sounded in the hall. "Lord, with all due respect, you are wasting the value of this sacred hall by building these useless things. It is meaningless." The voice of the speaker was rough and
The high-pitched voice made Brando look back, only to find that the person who spoke was the master craftsman named Gorju whom Medisha had mentioned before. He had never heard of this person's name, but he understood it from the disdainful tone of the other person's voice.
The guy's reputation among the cloud giants was probably as good as Babu's. He quickly asked, "What advice can you give me?"
In fact, Brando is also a little depressed. Of course, he knows that letting these master craftsmen build these 'toys' is overkill for them, but the question is what can be done? On the one hand, he does not have more advanced drawings and materials, and on the other hand, he does not have more advanced drawings and materials.
On the other hand, according to Babu, their experience level is limited by Valhalla. In fact, it is now similar to that of Belu and Tamar. According to Brando's idea, the most helpful thing they can do to help Tony Geer now is to expand the two groups as soon as possible.
The size of an elite force.
As for the others, they might be able to spend half a year or a few months working together to build an ancient or even fantasy-level piece of equipment, but what's the point? What he wants is not someone's combat effectiveness.
Unexpectedly, Gorzhu shook his head: "Lord, it seems that you still don't understand our true value to you." He paused, then pointed to Belu and Tamar not far away and replied: "
We haven't returned to this land for a long time, and we don't know what happened to Warnd in this period of history, but at least we understand that although these two master-level craftsmen can't be seen everywhere, they shouldn't be rare in the world.
If you want to recruit, there should be no problem with ten or eight - and do you think this hall means more to you than that?"
Brando was slightly startled, realizing that this rough guy might have something in his words. He couldn't help but look at Babu who was standing aside.
The divine craftsman nodded slowly and said: "Sir, I said before that this hall is called the Valulen Warrior Hall. It is a resting place for warriors in mythology. It provides warriors with space here.
Weapons and armor are just ancillary functions of it."
Brando finally reacted, and he suddenly became excited: "You mean, the forging workshop is just one of the functions of this building... It, it is also a nest?"
"The nest needs a magic pool to support it, sir." Babu shook his head.
"What does that mean?" Brando was confused.
"So, Lord Lord, have you ever heard of a name like Valkyrie?"
