Transcendent Noble

The second Legion's 3,000 mercenaries attacked across the board, and the battle soon ended. The murlocs fled back to the water, not daring to show their heads, leaving only hundreds of corpses on the river beach. While Lord Jomoson commanded the soldiers to clean the battlefield, Victor and Nelson rode out of the front camp of the Second Legion.

"haha, it’s been a long time since I was so happy as today."

Nelson changed into an ordinary cow leather armor, rode on a war horse, and waved excitedly. fist. He was still immersed in the hearty excitement.

In fact, the murlocs escape as fast as they charge, and the mercenary soldiers in armor can't catch up with them. There was one murloc in the east and one in the west. Nelson crushed from the camp all the way to the river, and only killed more than 20 murlocs. The mercenary soldiers who fell behind even had a fish head. No gains. But this did not affect the excitement of the soldiers.

While failing to win, it is a test of the hiring Legion's ability to control the battlefield situation, but the recruits of full of vigor are very eager for a victory of crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. Victor’s magnificent appearance, invincible fighting stance, and the fact that one person defeated the wave of murlocs far exceeded all the illusions of Randal's mercenary soldiers about the Lord Knight. It left an indelible impression in the hearts of every warrior soldier, which was greatly encouraged. The morale of hiring Legion finally became the motivation to move forward courageously and kill the enemy's allegiance.

Victor’s reaping of mercenary warrior support is as simple as that. You don’t need to eat and live together, and you don’t need to love soldiers as children. As long as they show their extraordinary power in battle, no one can shake the family soldiers to him. Loyalty.

For thousands of years, the concepts of priest salvation, Knight protection, and public dedication have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. For the family warrior, it is their own glory to offer faith to the Lord of Radiance and loyalty to the lord. When the lord appears on the battlefield as a Guardian, the family soldiers will never collapse in the face of heavy pressure, and will defend the lord at all costs.

According to Earth world, family soldiers are fanboys of the family Guardian.

In legal terms, the hired warriors of the First Army and the Second Legion are not yet soldiers of the Randal Family. The thoughts and worries of abandoning and being abandoned by the family still have soil for survival. To train these 6000 mercenary warriors as the backbone of the family army, Victor must let them feel the glory of following the family Guardian in advance.

Of course, this is not without cost.

Nelson slapped his lips, not without regretfully saying: "In the next few months, the training ground of the second Legion will be temporarily unavailable... My lord, can you let other families take their river beaches? Let us use the position for a few months? When the murlocs in that water area come back, we will return the beach position to them..."

Randal has 11 large and small fish along the Jinshui River. In the mudflats, the families of Centaur Hills all responded to the summon of the Murloc War Order and sent vassal armies and mercenaries to fight the Murlocs on the riverbank. However, their mercenaries are less than 400 on average, and they can only attack a few smaller river beaches. The two largest river beach positions were taken care of by the Randal Family’s hired Legion. Now one river beach battlefield was maimed, and Nelson began to use the brains of other river beach battlefields.

Victor said with a smile: "You have to train the mercenary's combat ability, and other families are also honing their mercenaries. I think this is very good, at least these few months can save you I have a lot of military expenses."

Nelson's expression froze, he rolled his eyes, and said, "My lord, the craftsmen of Golden Water City have made the combination war chariot according to your wishes. At the Flatlake Town barracks. Would you like to see it?"

Victor suddenly became interested and said: "Oh? Take me to see."

The two lead the lord Guards, along the road, rushed to Flatlake Town, before noon, arrived at the military camp on the east side of the town. After the guard saw the rider on the war horse, he lifted the guard from the guard tower and opened the gate of the barracks.

Nelson and Victor rode straight into the camp gate, one after the other galloping towards the training ground behind. In the clearing, Victor saw a unique building.

It is a building, rather than a fortification. It is 4.7 meters high, 4.5 meters long, and 2.3 wide. It is made up of two cars stacked together. The surface is covered with a copper shell. The lower car is thick and strong. The outer wall extends three iron essence hook and sickle spears. The upper car has no roof. , The wall is similar to the female wall of the castle, with a medium-sized ballista and a small catapult. Combining them, they can attack from a distance, defend near, and at the same time have a commanding shooting advantage. They can be called a small fortress.

Nelson motioned to the guards to take the horse away, and introduced to Victor:

"My lord, I am a layman, I am a layman, I only know that this thing is very strong and easy to use... it The lower carriage is a heavy carriage with a maximum load capacity of 7.6 tons. It has three shooting holes and can accommodate 3 heavy crossbowmen. It can also be replaced with a hook and spear. Once a large monster like ogre comes close to the carriage, it directly stabs it in the stomach. The quasi-guarantee even pulls out the intestines... The upper carriage is a light war chariot, with a load of 2.3 tons. It has a revolver chassis ballista, which can freely change the shooting direction. Use iron essence armor piercing crossbows, which can be fired every 20 seconds at the fastest, and the effective range is 500 meters; that small trebuchet is specially used to throw spikes and can also project small fire bullets. The range is only more than 230 meters... In addition to these two weapons, war chariot is often equipped with two heavy crossbowmen. For fixed combat, you can Plus two heavy crossbowmen."

Victor stepped forward and knocked on the side wall, feeling its firmness, and activating the surging again. He tried to push it, but the carriage didn't move slightly. He was very satisfied with this. Many large monsters are amazingly powerful and can easily overturn ten tons of heavy objects. However, the friction area of ​​the bottom of the carriage is 10 square meters, and its own weight exceeds the weight of most monsters. The result of the monster's force is to push himself out. It is almost impossible to overturn the car, so naturally it can't hurt the soldiers in the car.

He jumped onto the top of the car and entered the war chariot body. He noticed that there are five locks at the bottom, which are connected to the lower car to ensure the solidity of the war chariot part and prevent it from being pushed by the monster. Go down. At this time, Nelson also jumped up and pointed to the tripod on the wall of the car and said:

"The master craftsman of Golden Water City told me that this little thing can make the wall of the car resist the big thrown by ogre. The stones...hehe, provided that they can survive the shooting range of the ballista. Moreover, they have to be careful under their feet...I guess they will not be careful."

In the bag next to the trebuchet, he took out a three-stab spike made of iron essence, squeezed it, grinned and said with a smile: "This little monster that can charge with his feet jumped up, then rolled into a ball, directly Was trampled to death by a companion behind... My lord and the master craftsman are full of praise for your idea, saying that you are a real genius."

Victor laughed without saying a word, patted Nelson’s shoulder, and jumped. Fall to the ground and enter the lower compartment. There is also a tripod structure inside the carriage, and four load-bearing columns are added in the middle. The small space becomes more cramped and filled with sacks. Nelson said from the outside:

"The sacks are filled with soil, which increases the weight of the car body to 11 tons. When the vehicle is running, it is replaced with supplies, as long as it does not exceed 7 tons. The car is completely ok. And the parts of the car are all standard structures, which can be replaced immediately and repaired immediately."

"Standardization is the most important." Victor got out of the car and asked: "Baggage How long does it take for the car and war chariot to reassemble the wheels to start driving, and how many manpower?"

"30 trained soldiers, it took 2 hours. Remove the wheels, splice and fix the fortifications, just More than 50 minutes." Nelson finished answering, and then be eager to have a try asked: "My lord, do you want me to show it to you."

Victor shook the head with a smile, indifferently said: "No, it was originally my mobile camp concept."

The mobile camp concept is a tactical concept designed by Victor for Nantuo's strategy. It draws on the ancient Chinese vehicle formation and crossbow tactics. , You can flexibly deploy circular carts, build fortifications, quickly occupy key geographic locations in unfamiliar areas and when supplies are difficult, and then calmly collect natural resources to build stable camps.

Humans are suppressed in size by large monsters such as centaur and ogre, lacking the ability to defend against the enemy frontally, and rely heavily on strong fortifications. However, the construction of the fortifications of the castle takes time, and the beautiful terrain of water and grass must be a survival area that both humans and monsters want to snatch. In the absence of a fortress, humans will directly face the attack of the monster. Even if the elite rangers defeat the monster and the orcs, ordinary mercenary soldiers will still be harassed and attacked by the monster. This not only increased the casualties of hiring Legion, but also slowed down the time to build the fortress. The human army will fall into a tug-of-war and war of attrition with the monster. Because the monsters and orcs did everything possible to prevent humans from building fortifications in resource-rich areas.

But if the human army has strong fortifications, the situation will be reversed. The monsters attacked for a long time without any success, and suffered heavy casualties, so they would give up the fight for territory.

According to Victor’s vision, each mobile barracks consists of 40 fence trucks, 70 baggage trucks and 70 war chariots, equipped with 1,000 mercenary soldiers, more than 100 craftsmen and Physician, and one 300 elite rangers. A baggage truck and a war chariot are joined together to form a defensive sentry. 70 sentry sentries are connected to 40 two grid trucks. Together with local materials, the simple fortifications built are enough to form a temporary camp.

In addition to the war chariot guards’ ballistas, catapults and heavy crossbows, there are also thousands of longbows and foot crossbows inside the camp, allowing the enemy to taste the dense arrow rain and precision shooting. The taste of killing.

The three mobile camps are a full-stitched Legion for hire. Together they form a medium-sized camp. When they are scattered, they form horns to each other, which can establish effective defense depth.

High-ranking Knights of the York family were amazed by the military concept of mobile camps. Sylvia gathered a group of outstanding craftsmen to build heavy trucks and light war chariots in accordance with Victor's requirements. They worked in Flatlake Town for three years and finally got the samples.

The rest is the problem of standardization and details. Victor asked: "Do you think there are any shortcomings in the heavy trucks and the light war chariot?"

Replied Nelson Said: "Adults, the main problem is animal power. The truck has reached its maximum capacity. No matter how big it is, there will be problems with the chassis. No matter how small it is, there will be insufficient internal space. However, the load capacity of nearly 8 tons is one horse. The horse is too hard, two horses are too many, and a lot of supplies are wasted in vain."

Victor's eyes flickered, and he nodded: "I see, I will find a way...what else can I do? Additional?"

Nelson scratched his head and said with a smile: "My lord, a baggage truck costs 280 jinsore, war chariot costs 700 jinsore, these all are to hire Legion Xiangshanqiu Secret Castle places orders and purchases with military expenses... You entrust Mrs. Nicole with family affairs. Mrs. Nicole particularly likes Lilia’s cheapskate. Lilia must deduct military budget... Look, did you set a rule for Lilia? The budget for hiring Legion 55,000 Kinsol is guaranteed every year. Can’t it be reduced?"

Victor didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and asked: "Will I not come back in the future? Even if I no longer ask directly For family affairs, you and Maureen can visit me and give me advice."

Nelson whispered: "I’m not afraid that Mrs. Nicole won’t be able to compete with you. When the time comes, she I am angry again... You set the rules in advance, and Lilia has no reason to ask Mrs. Nicole to cut the budget for hiring Legion."

Victor nodded, said: "You make a point...I really should respect Nicole. And Lilia, you can’t easily overturn their policy... Draw a bottom line for the budget for hiring Legion in advance, which can avoid a lot of trouble. However, the budget of 55,000 Kingsall is a bit high, and I set a minimum budget of 49,000 Kingsall for you. If the budget for the year is insufficient, you have to ask Nicole to explain the negotiations...If there is a balance, it will be accumulated to the military budget for the next year."

"Why is it 49,000, not 50,000 What?" Nelson asked in confusion.

"The minimum military budget is less than 50,000 yuan. It sounds good and easy to say... Lilia's men are not too jealous."

"Many thanks, my lord!" Nelson was overjoyed , Right boxing chest, made a military salute, paused, and then said: "My lord, there is no maid by Mrs. Judy. She has been living in the front camp after all. After all, it is not very decent. Do you have any arrangements for her?"

As soon as I come back, I will rearrange Judy. It will only make Nicole face scandal. They will not be able to get along with each other in the future... Victor sneered and said indifferently with his expression: "From start to finish, I don't want to To be a vase, I don’t need a vase now... Judy has changed a lot, but I still want to hang her for a few more days."

Victor doesn’t care about Judy’s current mood, and of course Nelson does. It doesn't matter, I salute and say: "As you wish, my honorable master."

"Well, I will go back to Silvermoon Manor first. The next night, you go to Mercury Manor, I have something to explain to you."

"My lord, please!"

Slapped Nelson on the shoulder, Victor greeted the guards, boarded the horse, and galloped towards Silvermoon Manor.
