Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 297 Surprise

Lorist returned to Silovas at the end of November, accompanied by ten newly formed slave camps. In the following cold winter, the Marine Corps will still not have time to rest. They will, as always, transport the materials and grains, soldiers, liberated slaves, etc., accumulated in the Haneabada Islands to Hilovas. The entire transportation process will continue. It will not end until February next year.

The Marine Corps now has about 45,000 people, and nearly 400 ships of various types. Lorester ordered the current commander of the Maritime Legion, Golden Knight Sun Barwood, to rectify the Maritime Legion after the transportation was completed, and set up two armed patrol fleets on Hilowas Island and the Northland and a lightning fleet dominated by artillery, and three more Transported the merchant fleet, released one or two hundred medium-sized ships that had been requisitioned, and compensated them, and they were responsible for transporting the slaves who wanted to go home to the Gahlinte continent.

The twenty slave garrison battalions established in the Haneabad Islands, Lorist intends to transform them into twenty guard battalions and form a large guard corps with the five guard battalions in the family territory. The five battalions are one corps, and the five corps are one corps, with a total number of 75,000 people. This will be the most important defense force of the Norton family.

Thanks to the generous seizures obtained from the destruction of the Kingdom of Hanea Bada, Lorist has sufficient capital to prepare for another military reform of the Norton family’s armed forces. In addition to the upcoming Guards Corps, Lorist will also form There are two field and attack legions, one of which is based on foot combat, and will be the main force in the future. There is also the Flying Tiger Corps, a cavalry regiment that focuses on field raids.

Days flew fast in the busy schedule. In March after the New Year, Lorist held the Family New Year Knights Conference at Rock Castle in the family territory and announced the Norton family’s resolution on armed military reform. Established the Rock Corps, dominated by two heavy armour regiments and unicycle steel crossbow regiments, combined the archer battalion and the scout battalion to form two scout battalions, one scout battalion, the thunderbolt throwing stone battalion, and three logistics battalions. A corps. A total of 60,000 people in four corps. The commander of the legion is the family golden knight Baldfinger, and the deputy commander is the two golden knights of Malek and Mason, who joined the family.

Establish the Flying Tiger Legion, the head of the Legion is the family golden knight Tiger Rose, and the deputy heads of the Legion are the golden knight Yuri and the arrow Chosk. The Flying Tiger Corps is dominated by two Lancer regiments and a chariot steel crossbow regiment, plus a scout battalion, and a women's battalion. Three logistics battalions are formed to form a regiment, which is also four regiments with 60,000 people.

Finally, there is the Guards Corps, with a total of 25 battalions of 75,000. The commander of the legion is the golden knight Faria. The deputy commander of the army were two golden knights, Berunek and former slave gladiator Jeddes.

In addition to these three legions, there are also three battalions of the Norton Knights, headed by Terman, of 9,000 people, and 3,000 of the guards battalion under the direct control of Lorester. The other is the 18,000 Marine Corps with Sunbawood as its commander. In other words, the regular force armed by the Norton family has reached 225,000. This does not even count those garrison camps, garrisons, towns and villages with more than 100,000 garrisons.

The Rock Legion will be deployed as the main infantry force on Silovas Island, and the Flying Tiger Legion will be located between the Xing'an Plain and the Red River Plain in front of the Rock Castle. The northern land is wide and the land is wide, and the wasteland is vast, suitable for cavalry to gallop. The guards of the twenty-five battalions were dispersed and resettled. The first guards battalion was stationed in Rock Castle, and the second guards battalion was stationed in the harbor city named Beihai City by Master Siropa. The 3rd and 4th Battalions of Guards were stationed at Guishan Fortress and Woniugang Fortress to defend the mountain barbarians.

Since the western part of the Northland has become the ranch of the Norton family territory, Lorester decided to restart the smuggling underpass in the Blade's Edge Mountains in the former Beiye City on the advice of Fatty Shi and other subordinates. That is the passage where the Grand Duke of the Northland, the Duke of Luckins, ordered his golden knights, Chevani and Henned, to attack the Norton family territory. The vines that had been burnt in the past six or seven years have grown again. These hangings can be used again. The vines that came down built a new cable bridge.

With this passage, the cattle and sheep produced in the western pastures of the Northland do not need to make a big bend from the Rock Castle into the family territory, and directly enter the family territory from the path of the Blade's Edge Mountains to save two days. Lorester is not going to build a cable bridge. He plans to use the ancient trestle bridge built in Sichuan that he saw on TV in his previous life instead of the vine-woven cable bridge. Then a castle fortress was built in the valley where the Chevani knights died, and the fifth battalion of guards is responsible for garrison.

The remaining twenty guard battalions will be trained in the family territory, awakening vindictiveness and familiarizing themselves with all kinds of weapons and practicing martial arts. Lorester's opponents said that they hoped to make the Norton family armed into an elite and invincible military force within two years and live up to the reputation of the roaring bear family in the North.

After ending the military reform resolution, Lorist reviewed the family's achievements in territorial development last year. This year, the development of Red River Plain and the construction of Beihai City will be completed. In addition to the construction of the new passage in the Blade's Edge Mountains and the castle fortress in the family territory, the big construction project is the Nicol Academy under the charge of Miss Teresti. Lorist put a heavy burden on Sederkamp and asked him to be responsible for repairing all the roads in the family territory after the opening of Hongheyuan, widening and straightening, and flattening the roads in the family territory. Convenient and faster.

The development and construction of Hilovas Island is still proceeding according to the previous plan. The main labor is the tens of thousands of refugees rescued from the Hanea Bada Islands, plus the Bodfinger Rock Army stationed on the island to help, I believe Results will be seen in two years. Hansk, the head of the family statistics department, was appointed by Lorist as the new governor of Silovas.

After the family meeting was over, Lorist finally had some free time, and first went to visit his apostle Sward. Before leaving for the Kingdom of Hanea Bada, Swarder insisted on following Lorist. Lorist said that the soldiers are in danger and the outcome is unpredictable. It is difficult for him to take care of Sward. But Schward said that he had been promoted to the Black Iron Rank, and that he was more than enough to deal with a few soldiers, without the care of Lorist.

Lorist smiled, turned to find Reddy, and asked him to take Sward to practice the artificial dynamic vision. Lorist told Sward that he must learn this dynamic vision when he comes to my door. This is a necessary condition for our practice. Since you are already a black iron tier, then you can't delay any longer, and you should practice this at home first while I am out.

So Sward was taken away by Reddy. After Lorist returned to the family territory, Reddy came to report that Sward had a dynamic vision. However, his physical fitness is not as good as Reddy, and even Pat is not as good as Pat. It took more than half a month of practice to get used to the feeling of being tied to an iron circle. This would be too careful not to come to see Lorist.

Sward was practicing swordsmanship when Lorist went to the back mountain to practice field. It was obvious that Sward's swordsmanship had improved greatly after possessing dynamic vision. Lorist was very satisfied, and after two more years of training, he would be able to deal with the silver-tier swordsman Shihuad with ease.

In addition to meticulously instructing both Reddy and Shuad, Lorester would harass Miss Teresti when he had time, or go to Fenglin Villa to find his concubine Irina to resolve his desires and dissatisfaction. Then two months later, Miss Teresti and Irina won the bid again and both became pregnant. Compared with the joyous Irina, Miss Teresti is furious. This year, the focus is on the construction of Nicol Academy. At this critical juncture, how can she preside over the construction of the academy when she is pregnant by Lorist, so she announced Luo Rist is an unwelcome person and refuses him to visit.

After hitting a nail, Lorist returned to Rock Castle just in time to meet Fatty Shi coming to submit an application for leave. He was ready to stay at home and leave everything alone. He practiced hard for two years under the guidance of Great Swordsman Ingerek to get promoted to gold. Order.

This was what was promised in the Haneabad Islands. Lorist approved Fatty Shi's leave notice, then opened a few bottles of good wine and ordered a few small dishes to get drunk with Fatty Shi. When the wine was hot, Fatty Shi finally asked his doubts, why did Lorist vigorously expand the family armament after the destruction of the Kingdom of Hanea Bada, did he have the target of the soldiers?

The family is now armed with nearly 300,000 people, and the equipment and military expenditures have greatly exceeded the income of the family territory, and it is estimated that more than 1 million Golden Ford will be exceeded every year. Fatty Shi is very worried that a few years like this will put a heavy burden on the family.

Lorist smiled and pulled the map of the Principality of Madras, hit it with a fist, and said with a big tongue: "It's okay, the Principality of Madras will be ours in two years..."

Fatty Shi wanted to ask more, but he saw Lorist fell asleep on the sofa.

Obtaining Fatty Shi’s leave resulted in a series of reactions. In less than ten days, more than ten silver three-star family knights, including Dolles, El, Jim, Wassimma, Pachico, and Pete, handed them over. The application for leave, asking for two years of leave to prepare for promotion to the golden rank, even the bearded former bandit Owiks of the Pili Catapult also submitted the application for leave.

"What do you want to do? Don't you just quit one by one?" Lorist was furious, and first called Ovius for the operation and cursed.

Orviz said aggrieved: "My lord, when you recruited me to be a family knight, didn’t you give me a fire-attribute high-level fighting qi cheat sheet? At that time, I was already a silver three-star. I have learned the secrets of fighting qi, and now I am the silver three-star peak. I feel I am going to be promoted, so I want to take a year off..."

"Uh..." Lorist dragged Ovius over to check. It was as he said that this bearded former bandit had indeed reached the Silver Three-star Peak. He immediately turned his anger into joy and patted Ovius on the shoulder. He smiled and said: "Your fake me is OK, work hard, and you will be promoted to the golden rank as soon as possible, and the family will have one more golden knight. The knight manor in Hongheyuan is ready for you."

Speaking of the knight manor in Hongheyuan, Lorist suddenly understood why there are so many silver three-star family knights asking for leave. The eight knight manors in Xing'anyuan have been allocated to eight golden knights including Bodfinger and Tiger Ross. Next, the eight knight manors in Hongheyuan, Sun Barwood, newly joined Jades, and Mason, the three golden knights have already booked three, so the remaining five knight manors have fallen into the three-star silver family In the eyes of the knight, everyone wants to advance to the golden rank as soon as possible in order to obtain a knight manor.

"This group of bastards, why are you in a hurry! The family is not building the Knight Manor anymore, there is nothing to grab." While Lorist approved all the family knights who applied for leave, the Norton family is ready to keep a low profile for the past two years. Nothing should happen. He picked up the map of Northland again, muttering to find a place to develop and build something.

On May 23, Lorist, who came back from a lap of the Gunpowder Proving Ground in the Blade's Edge Mountains, sat in the study and was meditating. He had stopped the trial production of the musket when he could not produce suitable steel. If the foundation is not firmly established, it is impossible to jump into the firearm era. The family’s firearm production is basically bronze cannons. In the case of large-scale refining of firearms, a small amount of hand-made firearms is not worth the gain for the family. After all, Galinthia is a vindictive world, and some cold weapons are more suitable for warfare for firearms.

Apart from other things, it is like the steel crossbow equipped by the family armed forces, which has a range of up to 300 meters, while the effective range of a manual musket is only 150 meters. This is half the distance. If you line up to shoot, the steel crossbow It is guaranteed to be much more efficient than a musket.

Schward knocked on the door and came in: "My lord, there is an urgent agent from Beihai City. It is reported that the Flying Fish in the morning has returned from Silovas Island and brought the latest report. The Ford Business Alliance has sent troops to occupy the original Ridley. In the province of Campona of the Kingdom, 170,000 horses led by His Royal Highness two were trapped in the three provinces of the Kingdom of Ridleys, and the connection with the Kingdom of Antinac was separated. In addition, the ties of the Chiked Chamber of Commerce The eldest Master Thurleyham arrived on Silovas Island. He was on a merchant ship of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce. He said he came as a peacemaker and wanted to see you. Governor Hansk left him in Silovas. On the island, waiting for your disposal."

"What are you talking about?" Lorester was shocked. The report he got when he set off on the Kingdom of Haneabad in September last year was that the Second Highness lost consecutive defeats in Magik Province, the last province of the Ridley Kingdom, but the Second Highness was in the hands The army has more than 200,000 troops, not counting the more than 100,000 defenders distributed in the Kingdom of Antinac and the newly occupied provinces. Lorist thought that His Royal Highness was strong and could eventually win.

Unexpectedly, after returning from the ruined Kingdom of Hanea Bada, the report about the Second Highness was still entangled with the nobles in the Magik Province of the Kingdom of Ridley, and the Second Highness also dispatched a hundred thousand troops. The two principalities of Linhandra and Fakel demanded that the four principalities of central China cancel their national titles and return to the empire. But this request was rejected by the four principalities, and they once again formed a coalition to confront the army of the Second Highness, and vigorously supported Magik's noble armed forces.

At that time, Lorist was very pleased with the news, and felt that the Second Highness had finally suffered and understood that any accident could happen. Thinking of meeting in the imperial capital that year, the Second Highness also vowed to declare that the grand princes of the four central princes are loyal to the former Christian Empire~www.readwn.com~ as long as he is on the front line, the princes of the four princes will rush to His banner restored the glory of the former empire.

There will be more battles here, anyway, although Lorist is in the Antinac Kingdom camp, he knows in his heart that His Royal Highness is very jealous of himself and the Norton family armed forces, and has never called the Norton family to join the battle. However, depending on the situation, the Second Highness can continue, so Lorester is not going to be nosy. Before the Second Highness's official order to participate in the war, he will be accused of rebellion.

Lorester was happy and free, and was not ready to send troops to help, so he hid in the Northland. Unexpectedly, half a year later, the Second Highness not only did not eliminate the noble arms of the Ridley Kingdom, but was stabbed in the back by the Ford Business Alliance, losing Campona Province, and the Second Highness and the Antinac Kingdom. contact. The provinces of Podoorg and Andrów where he is occupying the Royal City of Federica are both the territory of the Kingdom of Rydliss. Here again, there is a melee in Magik Province. The situation suddenly becomes extremely bad and the rear is lost. Support, I'm afraid it can't be supported on the front line anymore.

"Strange, where did the business alliance come from?" Lorister muttered and stood up, and said to Schward: "Please go down, I'm going to Silova..."
