When I returned to the northern camp again, earth-shaking changes had taken place here. The number of troops that originally had only a few thousand soldiers now expanded to more than 20,000. It was not because more soldiers from the northern border went south, but because the northern coalition forces and
The Queen's troops have joined together.
On the broad plain, white tents are densely packed all over the wilderness, extending to places beyond the sight. The eagle on the white background is the camp of the Kislev Shooting Army. They are Kislev
The only firearms force in the Kingdom of Tsar. More than a hundred years ago, when the imperial army marched into Kislev to fight against the Chaos invasion, the Tsar saw how the imperial firearms force shot down the powerful Chaos warriors and blocked the Chaos cavalry.
Charge.
This powerful long-range weapon completely changed the Tsar's military theory, prompting him to spend the rest of his life building a firearms force as true as the Empire. This wish was not realized until his successor. Due to the high maintenance cost of the firearms force,
Kislev is also a barren country, and it is impossible to use firearms corps on a large scale. Therefore, the entire Kingdom of Kislev still only has one regiment of shooting troops. Originally, the shooting army was stationed in Erengrad, because there was only Erengrad.
Only Germany's wealthy fiscal revenue could maintain its military expenditure. However, the later tsar, in order to prevent Oerengrad from becoming independent, transferred the shooting army back to the capital.
Their flag was planted in the center of the camp, and the black eagle war flag fluttered in the wind under the rising sun, so proudly. Rhodes took a rough look and found that they had at least five or six hundred tents, with three to five people in each tent.
, the total number of the shooting army is almost two thousand.
At first glance, the number seems small. However, on the battlefield, the power of the two thousand shooting troops is actually very terrifying. The total number of the entire northern army is only ten thousand. These are mainly light infantry. Once a war begins,
When rushing in front of the shooting army, at least one-third will die. In the cold weapon battlefield, in a head-on confrontation, once the loss exceeds 100% of the total number of soldiers, the army will be in danger of collapse. In other words, if the northern lords in the future
Collectively rebelling against the Queen, the Snow Queen only needs to send out the shooting army to intimidate the whole situation... Erengrad only has a tall city wall, so the shooting army is of little use here.
The prominence of its status can also be seen from the location where the rest area is placed.
Next to the shooting army is the camp of the famous Kislev wing cavalry. These elite cavalry of the Kingdom of Kislev are all warriors selected from a hundred. They are selected from low-level cavalry and undergo a series of cruel combat training to become
A member of the Kingdom's Winged Cavalry, so named because of the large feathered wings decorated on its back. A large-scale winged cavalry charge will make a creepy whirlwind whistling sound, causing strong psychological pressure on the enemy while impacting the enemy's defense line. However,
Due to the attributes of their heavy cavalry, they are destined to be the same as the shooting army, and their number cannot be too large. You must know how much military expenses it costs to wear heavy armor armed to the teeth... A large part of these expenses are paid by the nobles of the kingdom.
The nobles themselves or their children are often the commanders or captains of the Hussars. It can be said that the Hussars are the pride of the Kislev nobles.
Outside the camp, there is another famous legion - the Griffin Legion. The powerful Griffin Legion is a trump card of the Kingdom of Kislev. Most of their soldiers are Kislev nobles and have received regular training since childhood.
Military training, superior combat effectiveness, in other words, an ordinary soldier in the Griffin Legion is equivalent to a knight in the empire, and what is a knight? An elite force in the human world.
However, such an outrageously powerful legion does not officially belong to Kislev, nor is it directly under the Ice Queen. In fact, they have always maintained an independent state and exist as mercenaries. However, the lions
The Eagle Legion once swore that once the Kingdom of Kislev is in danger, they will arrive as soon as possible to assist the Tsar in fighting the darkness. The Ice Queen has tried to bring this powerful "wild" legion under the control of the royal family more than once, but several times
Each attempt ended in failure...
Therefore, when setting up camp, although the Griffin Army was connected with the Kislev Army, the tents and other things were separated because it was originally an independent army.
Although these elites are world-famous strong men, most of the entire camp is still the tents of ordinary soldiers. The number of shooting troops plus wing cavalry will not exceed four thousand, maybe more than three thousand. As for the Griffin Legion,
The real main force of soldiers may only be more than 2,000 people. Most of the soldiers are ordinary soldiers like Ksar infantry and conscripts. They do not have unified weapons and equipment. They are all brought together by local troops. The reason is also very simple.
It is impossible for the city of Kislev to support an army of more than ten thousand people. In peacetime, the capital only has a small standing army. In wartime, armies from various lords' territories are recruited to gather together to jointly attack the enemy.
After Rhodes returned to the camp, he learned that the former useless commander Cohen had left. Maybe it was because of poor command, or maybe because his soldiers had begun to disobey his command. In short, Catalina transferred him as soon as she arrived.
As for where to go, no one knows, only that the Snow Queen has her own arrangements.
The newly appointed legion commander looked majestic, younger than the previous old Duke, and at the same time, much stronger. He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, with thick lips.
He has a beard, but the top of his head is the Mediterranean Sea, and only his temples are covered by sparse hair. He is wearing the finest armor and holding a blood-red sword. He looks very handsome.
However, Rhodes had probably guessed a thing or two from the vicious roars of Spirit Bear.
Katarina met with Rhodes on the same day. It must be said that although the Snow Queen is cruel by nature, she still knows how to rule. In view of Rhodes's reputation and being a star in the legion with numerous military exploits, Katarina
She immediately received the hero in the eyes of the soldiers. What she wanted to show was that she was clear about rewards and punishments and treated heroes favorably.
Rhodes only felt that the Ice and Snow Queen on the throne was colder and more serious than he remembered. Her eyes revealed the coldness, just like the frost and snow in the North, which was creepy. However, Rhodes still calmly walked forward to greet the Queen.
rewards...
Everyone knows that the Snow Queen must reward Rhodes. During this period, he has the most military achievements. Not only did he save an entire legion, he also persuaded Lord Benedick of Grizzly Bear Castle to surrender and marched into Erengrad for the Queen.
Obstacles have been cleared. If you do this without rewards, it will be difficult to convince the public.
