Who taught him magic?

"Some of these beasts are wearing iron armor. If you encounter a particularly tall one, don't hesitate to use the alchemy grenade on your waist!"

The young soldier listened attentively, but saw the veteran in front of him knocking the goblin's iron armor with his hand, with a faint expression of disdain on his face.

As if to say, beasts will remain beasts.

Even if you know how to smelt iron, the armor you make will be just like that.

The veteran was not simply mocking, he just wanted to know if the magic rifle on his back could penetrate the iron armor of these beasts.

The answer is no problem!

I haven't tried it at a long distance, but at a close distance, it can break the armor of these guys.

If there was such a weapon in the battle half a year ago, it would have been much easier...

……

Mr. Banner had a headache, not because of the goblins, but mainly because he was thinking about the Fourth Battalion.

Most of the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion of the First Regiment of Lundrona came from the Western Territory... The Western Territory is so huge that hundreds of people can be drawn from any place.

Solving the problem of numbers is not difficult.

But the combat effectiveness of these people was too low. Commander Banner was very satisfied when he looked at the first battalion, and he was also very satisfied when he looked at the second and third battalions.

When it was the turn of the newly formed fourth battalion, he could not wait to frown.

He positioned the Fourth Battalion as an infantry battalion.

Don't even think about magic artillery. These low-quality soldiers can't figure it out in a month.

Only then did Banner understand why Green wanted to run night schools and teach these young people how to read.

It is indeed necessary!

Invisibly sighing, the soldiers of the first battalion next door, even if he suddenly ordered to assemble, within 5 minutes, these soldiers would be able to line up neatly in the open space under the command of their respective officers.

But for the fourth battalion, it probably took half an hour to drag on.

Let’s talk about counting. These people keep reporting and don’t know where they are going.

Ask them to turn to the left, and some will inexplicably turn to the right.

Banner originally thought that these were unnecessary, but he found that many of these ordinary people really couldn't tell the direction and left and right.

The more I watched, the more I felt like my magical heart was going to explode!

Of course, this is not the main reason for irritation.

What's really annoying is that he was originally promised ninety magic artillery pieces, but now he only has sixty?

Suddenly a third was missing, and Banner was almost so angry that he wanted to go to Green for an explanation!

After all, Banner is also the commander of the first regiment. If this unit is very weak, then it is not impossible to hang around here.

But the combat effectiveness of this first regiment is not inferior to that of the established magic troops.

Not to mention Banner's dawdling, he also contributed a lot here, and even regretted persuading other retired officers to leave.

There’s a lot to do here!

According to his idea, the first regiment should be equipped with six battalions, three artillery battalions, three infantry battalions, and at least 120 magic artillery pieces.

The newly developed magic Gatling is said to be comparable to a hundred magic rifles.

It goes without saying that thirty pieces of equipment for each battalion is not too much, right?

In addition, it is very reasonable to form a magic camp and train them according to Su En's standards, right?

As for the church, there is no problem at all in allowing some bishops to accompany the army, right?

In his imagination, the combat effectiveness of the troops thus formed must be very strong.

Even if they encounter Fran's magic troops again, about 1000 people will be defeated directly!

Even if they released defensive magic immediately, hundreds of artillery pieces, and tens of thousands of cannonballs poured out in more than ten minutes, and the number of people doubled again, Banner would be confident that he would defeat them on the spot!

As a result, look what that bastard Green is doing?

Only two-thirds of the original ninety cannons were used. The newly developed magical Gatling was also searched and searched, and now he has not seen even one.

The standard for a magic troop is 30 people.

Not only that, that guy also likes to recruit officers from here!

Banner just couldn't help it!

In his opinion, it would be better to transfer officers from here than to transfer outstanding soldiers from the second and third regiments.

It’s pretty much the same anyway!

Let’s talk about the commander of the second regiment, Edmund, a Leo magician.

What ability does that guy have?

Does he deserve to have sixty magic cannons?

Do you deserve to have so many weapons and equipment?

Will he use it?Can it be used well?

If you don’t have the ability, grabbing equipment is the first priority!

Banner deeply despised this kind of commander. In his opinion, instead of cultivating three main regiments, it was better to turn the second and third regiments into his reserves.

Although he was from the Seventh Legion of Suen and was not suitable to criticize the commander of the Third Regiment, he still wanted to say that he is so young and if you give him so much equipment, you might as well give it to me.

Does he have actual combat experience?

Did he fight in the battle more than ten years ago?Probably not born yet!

He was convinced by the old army commander, but he was more or less dissatisfied with this one...especially when it came to things like equipment!

Mr. Banner was full of resentment and wanted to take his soldiers to the second and third regiments to grab equipment on the spot.

Of course, he still can't do this kind of thing.

Green may not have much prestige in the academy, but he has great prestige here... Banner is afraid that this guy will let him go.

To say how much he covets the position of leader, that's not to say.

It's just that he brought this army out by himself after all. Can he rest assured that he can hand it over to others at will?Is he willing?

How could your own child be handed over to others casually?

Mr. Banner has such a strange sense of belonging. If Su En asked him to transfer to the ordinary army, even if he was asked to be the commander of Jinxun, he would not be willing to go!

Not only was he unwilling to go, but he also muttered something in his heart.

Do ordinary legions have magic artillery?Do ordinary legions have so many new weapons and equipment?

Go to hell, whoever wants to go can go!

Because of this strange sense of belonging, coupled with his vague contempt for the other two groups, he felt that the children he brought up were the best, so he should send all the good things over.

……

Edmund has been in a good mood recently. Looking at the soldiers who have just joined the army, even if they make constant mistakes, the commander can still maintain a lot of patience.

You want to ask why?

Naturally, it’s because a batch of new equipment has recently arrived!

Edmund knew very well that Green, the bastard, was very partial to the first regiment, and the weapons and equipment were provided there first.

But to be honest, the first group is really nothing great.

Being able to win two battles, in the final analysis, isn't it because of weapons?

Change a group of people and change a commander, and these two battles can still be won!

At least, Edmund felt he could do it!

If he had been allowed to serve as the commander of the first regiment, he would have been able to win these victories.

Therefore, he did not think that the first regiment was very powerful, nor did he think that the retired officer from Suen was very powerful.

I heard that this guy was very opposed to the establishment of the first regiment at first.

In the final analysis, this kind of commander is lucky.

But the second regiment is different. What the second regiment lacks is only weapons and equipment. The combat power of the soldiers is definitely stronger than that of the first regiment!

Half of them are veterans of the Guards Corps. They have participated in the most brutal hand-to-hand combat. In comparison, what do the soldiers of your first regiment count?

Is it great?

If it were a close fight, the veterans of the second regiment could defeat three of them!

Edmund believes that as long as the weapons and equipment are not inferior to those of the first regiment, the second regiment's combat power will definitely be stronger than the first regiment!

If there is a chance for a fight, Edmund dares to pat his chest and guarantee that he will definitely defeat the first group!

This was not blind confidence. He felt that the odds of winning should be [-] to [-]... The second group had a [-]% chance of winning, while the first group only had a [-]% chance of winning.

Originally, he was very distressed, feeling that his troops were like illegitimate children and were not welcome.

Seeing that the first regiment has dozens of artillery pieces, the training here is very tight. There are not so many artillery shells for live ammunition training, so they can only use cheaper training shells.

As the commander of the second regiment, as a motivated magician, he still has some pursuits!

If you really can't sit still, you can only go to the Grand Duke.

But there was nothing the Grand Duke could do.

Go to Green, that guy can only talk about three months.

We will try our best to meet your weapon needs within three months!

No matter how you ask, it’s three months.

Edmund was depressed, but there was nothing he could do.

But the opportunity came so suddenly!

First came the delivery of weapons and equipment. The magic artillery that had just left the factory was delivered directly to him without much delay.

At the same time, the Marquis also officially ordered preparations for war!

The second regiment is expanded by an infantry battalion!

Edmund couldn't sit still.

what does that mean?Means opportunity!

He called some core officers to the headquarters, pounded the table and told them.

“Many people feel that the Second Regiment of Lundrona is inferior to the First Regiment. Some of you are officers of the Guards Regiment, and some of you are officers of the original First Regiment.

I don’t care what your previous status was, I only know that you are now officers of the second regiment!

Our newly formed unit was not well received. I couldn't get any equipment when I went out to ask for it. I went to the arsenal and was told that equipment would be provided to the first regiment first. After all, they were the strongest.

Let me ask you, can you bear this tone?

I heard that the commander of the first regiment told everyone he met that the second and third regiments were his reserves, and if he needed men, he could pull them from here!

I ask you, can you bear this tone?

The opportunity is here now, the battle may break out at any time, I have only one request.

Let Mr. Marquis see it, and let others see it. The second regiment has never been weaker than the first regiment. If they can win the battle, we will only fight better than them.

If you can't do it, I, the commander, will be the first to step aside! "

For a qualified commander, boosting morale is only the most basic operation.

It's not like Edmund doesn't know how to do it. What he said is half true and half false.

For example, how could Banner from the first regiment tell everyone they were reserve forces?

For another example, how could the magicians at Lundrona Arsenal look down on their strength?

But this kind of thing is not important. What is important is to make his subordinates believe that they are looked down upon, and that the Marquis does not take them seriously because of their weakness, and is also despised by the officers of other regiments.

Even though most of these officers are ordinary people, they still have a sense of victory and defeat, and they will hold their breath when they are despised and insulted.

Moreover, they really didn’t think that the first group was so powerful that it couldn’t be compared.
