During the half-month period when Chai Anping's reputation was at its peak, the kingdom's troops and supplies were quietly mobilized.
During this period, in addition to socializing, Chai Anping also went to the military camp of his regiment several times to meet his new recruits.
Although these people knew magic, they were fascinated by Chai Anping's superb sword skills in the duel field. Some of them even asked for physical skills classes, which Chai Anping happily agreed to.
After all, what kind of orthodox mage is he if he can't fight in close combat?
After watching the strength of the twelve selected elites, he also officially announced that they would follow him to the battlefield, which aroused the infinite envy of the soldiers in the military camp.
Most of them are very young. Although they have suffered a lot of trouble as mages, they actively choose to join the army because they want to prove to the kingdom that their existence will not have an adverse impact on the country.
However, seven of the twelve people were at the top in terms of strength, and five had perfect scores in the tactics course. Even if everyone was dissatisfied, they could only hold it in, secretly annoyed that they did not review well during the assessment.
Chai Anping focuses on observing people's personalities. He pays more attention to quality building than strength.
In particular, mages are often harassed by whispers of magic, so they need to have an iron will.
This is the greatest feeling of Chai Anping’s alchemical magic!
Fortunately, most of these handsome young men from Demacia have valuable qualities and are very difficult to cultivate.
Only then did he realize how much advantage he had taken by having the qualifications to form the first mage army in Demacia. It could be said that he had chosen away all the top talents.
I also understand why Gerald is reluctant to drag these people to the battlefield like this. After all, if one of them dies, it will be a loss for the kingdom!
In the military camp, he was taught some techniques to resist the whispers of magic. When he left, he was notified by the herald——
Jarvan III summoned him.
The king was very busy at the moment, and the orders he signed were enough to fill the entire desk.
Along the wilderness of the eastern border, several supply military towns have been built, which can supply the army with long-term operations.
Riding a carriage all the way to Dawn Castle, Chai Anping met Marshal Tiana on the road and followed him to the king's study.
"Marshal, what is the purpose of your Majesty's summons this time?"
"A few days ago, the Vanguard Army had their first contact with the Noxian Wolf Cavalry Army, and each retreated leaving thousands of corpses behind."
Wolf Cavalry Army!
This can be regarded as the most powerful cavalry in Noxus. Unlike the snow wolves of Freljord, the wolves used by Noxus are more slender and more brutal. Their teeth can tear apart infantry.
armor.
Different from the war horse cavalry, this type of arms is more flexible. Chai Anping once commanded the Snow Wolf Cavalry, so he naturally knows the superiority of this type of cavalry.
However, correspondingly, the Noxian Wolf Warriors also consume more materials, and their physical strength cannot support a sustained battle.
Generally speaking, once the wolf cavalry appears, a large number of troops will follow. This time they just retreated after contact. It seems that both sides met unexpectedly.
"At the beginning of the war, the death rate of scouts remained high, and the wasteland in the central part of the continent is too vast. Scouts often miss the enemy's army when they spread out." Tiana continued: "When you go to the battlefield, you will also
Pay attention to this."
"yes!"
After the two of them received the notification, they walked into the study. Several military commanders with real power were already sitting in the room.
"Marshal Tiana!"
Everyone saluted Tiana and invited the two of them to sit down.
"Everyone is here, so I will get straight to the point." Jarvan III said: "Noxus' attitude towards the challenge is very fierce. The army must be in place immediately to prevent the vanguard army from being surrounded. Regarding the candidate for the commander of the Eastern Expedition,
What do you think?"
It is not an easy task to command so many troops!
"Your Majesty, such a war should be planned by the military department." Tiana replied: "Please allow me to coordinate all parties on the front battlefield!"
"It's rare to see you take the initiative to ask for help."
Jiawen III smiled: "Who else wants to recommend themselves?"
There are various main battle and anti-war factions present, and even if Tiana wants to directly decide on the commander-in-chief, it is not easy.
Sure enough, several more candidates were introduced soon after, including some famous generals.
Chai Anping naturally stood firmly on Tiana's side. Tiana's status was deeply ingrained in the army. If she were to die in person, even the main war faction would be hard-pressed to compete with her.
Moreover, this marshal has always had unparalleled vision on the battlefield, and he treats everyone equally during the war, so there is no need to worry about being put on the wrong foot or passively working as a foreigner.
After discussing for more than half an hour, Tiana successfully won the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Expedition.
At the same time, this also means that the war that affects the fate of the entire kingdom is about to officially begin.
