Busy, the Kingdom of Gilness, from top to bottom, has already begun to get busy.
Among them, Rex has more things to do. Since he wants to take action against Dalong County, he naturally needs to start preparing.
Dalong County is located in the southernmost part of the Eastern Plagueland. If you want to reach it, you must pass through the Western Plagueland.
The territory of the Western Plague is not as good as that of the Eastern Plague, and the territory of the Western Plague is still a severely affected area because it is too close to the main city of Lordaeron. There is no complete place in the Western Plague Land, and all the land is necrotic.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Gilness wanted to send troops from the main city of Lordaeron to Dalong County.
There will be no place for replenishment, and all replenishment needs to be carried by yourself. This involves another issue, that is, the distance between Lordaeron and Dalong County is too far, and the front line is too long.
The front line is too long, and another problem naturally arises, that is, the issue of supply.
Many wars have been defeated throughout the ages, not because the soldiers are not elite enough, but because the front line is too long and the supply is cut off, which leads to the collapse of the army. There are countless examples of this happening.
This time, I naturally have to worry about this.
A large amount of food was hoarded at the beginning, and now it has just been harvested, so there is no need to worry about food. However, the actions of the army in the main city of Lordaeron have not been concealed from others, nor can they be concealed.
Although the military zone is tightly defended and no one can monitor it, it is impossible to prevent it from happening in other places.
Especially the Kingdom of Gilness. It is the most powerful kingdom of mankind. The trees attract wind. Many people monitor the actions of the Kingdom of Gilness. As soon as the wind came out, spies from other kingdoms knew that the Kingdom of Gilness was about to move troops.
Lordaeron main city, military area, the Knights' garrison of the Round Table.
This is a military tent, a standard military tent, with blankets made of Tabu sheep fur on the ground, and a large chair is arranged in the center, with seats arranged on the left and right sides.
Now Rex is sitting on the chair in the center, with people sitting on both sides.
The Knights of the Round Table have now become a giant under the vigorous development of Rex, which may not be comparable to the Silver Hand Knights of the Heyday. After all, they have only achieved a scale after decades of vigorous development. But now they have surpassed the Silver Hand Knights of the Severe Severe after being severely damaged.
This is inevitable. The Knights of the Silver Hands are ultimately supported by the Kingdom of Lordaeron and developed. When they are in a roundabout way, they are not the direct line of the Kingdom of Gilnis. It is already very good to allow the Knights of the Silver Hands to maintain their current scale. If the Knights of the Silver Hands want to continue to develop, this is not realistic at all.
"Your Highness? This time the troops will definitely wipe out the ogres in the Altlank Mountains," a man in his forties preached confidently.
As he spoke, his teeth that were leaking everywhere were exposed, and his long beard began to shake.
"Who said we were going to send troops to the Altlank Mountains?" Rex looked at the deputy commander with an unhappy expression.
The military system of the Kingdom of Gilness has been reformed several times and has now formed norms.
Ten people are a team, a team leader is set up, fifty people are squadrons, a squadron leader, a hundred people are brigades, a team leader, five hundred people are guards, and a guard leader is set up.
Above the guards are the legions, each legion has ten guards, totaling 5,000 people, and a chief and deputy legion commander is established.
There are now twelve legions under the Knights of the Round Table.
There are about 60,000 people in total, and such a number already accounts for one-third of the Gilness Kings team. No, it should be said to be one-half now.
The Kingdom of Gilness has laid off a lot of troops in recent times. With the situation of the Kingdom of Gilness, it is impossible to support so many troops.
The army of more than 200,000 was able to drag down the Kingdom of Gilness. Finally, with Rex's acquiescence, King Gene made a large-scale cut, cutting about 70,000 to 80,000. Even the Knights of the Round Table did not escape this fate. The Knights of the Round Table, which should have been sixteen legions, became twelve.
This is also the result of Rex's intention. The Knights of the Round Table have twelve Knights of the Round Table, which happens to be the Twelve Legions.
A huge disarmament operation was held for a while.
The weak ones were eliminated and the strong ones were selected to be included in the army. After cutting them, the tens of thousands of troops could not be allowed to return directly. It can be said that the Kingdom of Gilnes has experienced many wars in recent times, and has been expanding its army and receiving the inheritance of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, which has accumulated about 200,000 yuan.
This time, one-third of them were cut off, and no new recruits who had never been on the battlefield were once. They were all elite and their general strength was more than the second level.
I have been on the battlefield and seen blood. If all such troops return home, chaos will naturally occur.
If the Kingdom of Gilness, which had originally calmed down, would immediately become turbulent. The greatest possibility of these soldiers would be recruited by those lords, which would greatly increase their strength. Therefore, the final arrangement was to transform them from central armed forces to local armed forces.
For example, in the old land of Gilness, the defense there is relatively empty. The old land of Gilness has always been surrounded by the sea on three sides and has a biting reef. There is no need to worry about the power at sea. Other directions are in the hinterland of the current Kingdom of Gilness, so there is not much power to guard it.
Some of the people who were directly cut this time were arranged in the old land of Gilness and became public security teams to maintain public security.
All cities are arranged in different sizes, but most of them are still left.
In the end, Rex also gathered them together, intending to implement a policy of the past ancient times to farm.
It is a great policy to farm, and it is Rex's opinion.
There are many benefits of farming. Not only can you obtain food, but you can also prevent these soldiers from being abandoned.
In Rex's view, the policy of military farming was to transform them into half-peasants and half-soldiers, soldiers in war and farmers in leisure.
The places that Rex chooses are also of particular concern, in the north of Hillsbrad, close to the Altlan Mountains.
Hillsbrad Hills is an essential place, with fertile land and tobacco paste everywhere.
This place was naturally not well placed in the Lordaeron continent before, but when the East-West plague land turned into a dead place, Hillsbrad Hills jumped up and ranked first. This place became a major grain land and the granary of the Kingdom of Gilness.
There are a lot of wasteland here, especially near the Ultrarank Mountains. Due to the chaos in the Ultrarank Mountains, the thieves and ogres would come out to rob each other from time to time, causing the ruins here.
Rex arranged them here, and he beat the numbers in one fell swoop. Not only could he prevent the ogres from starting to cause trouble in the Hillsbrad Hills, but he could also treat them as a bridgehead. When the time was right, he would flatten the Altran Mountains in one fell swoop, completely pacify them, and become the heart of the Kingdom of Gilness.
The Ultratown Mountains are too close to Lordaeron's main city. Even if it is separated by a mountain and there is no road to figure it out, who can rest assured that the most in this world is a portal and various magic.
In fact, according to Rex's idea, so many troops are not intended to be removed. The future world of Azeroth is not peaceful, without war. On the contrary, the future world of Azeroth will be more widely spread and spread throughout the world.
Wars everywhere require army, but the situation in the Azeroth world made Rex recognize the reality and accept this helplessly.
The military system of the Azeroth world was not directly supported by the royal center.
Every war in this world, the military system is very imperfect. If you want to fight, the royal family usually announces orders and starts to summon many noble lords. These noble lords respond to the call of the royal family and start to dispatch troops one by one, and finally unite them together. This is the army.
In layman's terms, the royal family has the responsibility to protect other nobles, but other nobles also have to travel to respond to the royal family's call.
It is so simple that you protect him and he helps you fight.
The former Kingdom of Gilness had more than one million people, and the military armed forces that truly belonged to the royal family had only five major legions, with a total of no more than 30,000 people.
But the Kingdom of Gilness was able to pull out an army of more than 100,000, which was the power given by other nobles.
There are disadvantages and advantages to sending troops from nobles. The advantage is that they do not use the power of the kingdom to support these armies.
It can save a lot of gold coins to be used in other places, but the disadvantages are obvious. The armed forces of these nobles are uneven. The ones with strength are good, and they also have armor. However, some of the poor strengths are better for the army. They are more likely to be farmers. In normal times, they are mainly engaged in farming. When war comes, they are all forced to gather.
The weapons in his hand were mixed, and he didn't have a complete armor on his body.
I want to say here that they bring the armor themselves.
The army gathered in chaos was just a group of mobs, and it was difficult to unify the order.
This situation is naturally not what Lexus wants, so Rex has always been the army directly under the rule of the kingdom. After so many years, it has been initially achieved. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
