The Amber Sword

Chapter 859: Act 19 Knight & Blacksmith II

Brando was frustrated for a moment, rejoicing, and suddenly he thought that Berru and the Tama of this era were not at the top of the list, but they were still first-class masters in Eruin. In the past year, two elite White Lion Guard fighters were armed in their support territory alone, and today Tonigal's small place is already at the forefront of the kingdom, something other lords have never dared to imagine.

For six months, with the massive influx of refugees in various parts of the Black Rose War, Brando began to have a large pool of reservists in training camps throughout Tonigle, so long as he wanted to, he could always pull up an army of noble private armies no less than that of Jeannel or the Duke of Vieiro. But Brando came from future generations and personally experienced the epic and magnificent Stonewall War. He looked down on the so-called armies of the aristocracy of the North and the South. In his view, the armies below the third level could only be described as militia groups, responsible for local security, but never for war. It is precisely for this reason that the issue of armaments is now a major problem for Tonigal to stop the expansion of the army. Only the Corps of the White Lion Guard can wear inferior magic armor. Even the secondary level of ordinary white lion armor still produces limited quantities, and the Cold Cedar Territorial Code is strong enough to produce more than 100 sets per month. The wind shooter side is even worse, as the wind shooter's armor and long bow, which the shooter has to support, are limited in yield and this army is expanding at an alarming rate.

On this issue, both Antitina and Kurand felt that Brando's idea was too naive, or even a waste of money, to build up an army purely with money, but the lady of staff thought deeper, and she concealed that her lord might be concerned about Her Royal Highness's view, after all, an elite army of more than a thousand people sounded far more reassuring in nominal terms than the army of thousands of other nobles. Brando's fame soon spread among his own people, and even Yoda and several of his former mercenary leaders were talking privately about whether this lord was too deeply influenced by the Buga set, but how could mortal wealth compare to that of a wizard? What if the crystal deposits in the Black Forest are emptied? Once this discourse had gone up, even the red copper dragon Leito had come to persuade him.

Brando laughed so hard that he didn't dare tell these people what he was really doing, otherwise don't scare them all to death. In his plan, the core force of Eruin's future army is the White Lion Infantry and the foundation of Eruin's army, which corresponds to the second-line local corps, which now has the largest base in the Kingdom of Eruin. As for the fourth, fifth and sixth ranks, he must also find a way to cultivate them. As an elite army featuring Eruin, he now has a quasi-fourth rank of wind marksman. If he can convince the half horse to join his army, he will get the silver crown guard's armor and the guinea pigeon blueprint from Erlanta. With a little more training, Eruin will have a real fourth rank army; The 5th Army is certain that Druid's Elder Guard or Ancient Tree Guard, but Druid is too old to join his chariot. The more secure consideration is to devise ideas from Naga. The four-armed sea demon and the sea god guard are weaker on land than most of the 5th class, but they are still a 5th class. The important thing is that Naga and the landers have no core conflict of interest at all, and the Kingdom has a fleet that can become them. In the name of his strongest allies at sea, and Naga should not have been stingy to the troops on the charterer, Erouin could have hired these overseas troops in the name of his hire, he had chosen to form an alliance with Greyfin Naga and, after the Battle of Ambessel, he must have exchanged the Empire's blueprints for a frigate, which he had already planned to do.

With the strength of Eruin of the fourth and fifth ranks, it should be comparable to that of the kingdom of the earlier King Aceh dynasty, by which time His Royal Highness could fully rely on the power of the central army to subdue the whole country and unify the kingdom's power at a high level, so as to achieve a shift from decentralization to centralization. As for the six ranks, Brando has no clue at the moment, and Eruin has only one of the six ranks and no more than a hundred Silver Elf Temple Guards in history, and his only hope now is Valhalla's power. But once Eluin has a six-stage army, it can no longer withstand the wind in front of Madara. After all, Madara is not only facing an enemy of Eluin. It cannot confront the threat of such a peripheral land with the help of a dumping power. Once Eruin has such strength, it can totally force Madara to turn the direction of expansion to other degrees, and this ancient kingdom will return to its full height.

But these plans are undoubtedly the night of the heavens for Antina, who sees the kingdom of Eruin as nothing more than a more independent kingdom around Cruz, whose military might has always been weak, but not strong. Know that in the northern Kruz Empire, while the four major regiments under direct central control are based on the four-stage Imperial Guard, in fact, the third-stage Imperial noble cavalry and second-stage Imperial spears still dominate the aristocratic private and local guard forces, which account for the largest share of the Empire's total strength, and that these local forces face the same problem as the Kingdom, namely, the long-standing low level of training and the breakdown of discipline caused by peace, with the exception of a small number of border areas, which more or less exist in most of the Empire's armies, while in the Temple of Fire's assessment of the combat power of the Imperial noble cavalry has on several occasions fallen to parity with the second-stage ranks over the past two years.

Of course, the Empire has five ranks of Flying Horse Knights, five ranks of Holy Grail Knights, six ranks of Sword Crusaders, six ranks of Holy Oil Knights and Temple Bitter Brothers, and even royal vultures, royal astrologers, temple sacrifices such as more than seven ranks of soldiers, and more than ten ranks of famous superior forces such as Flaming Knights, but these armies are all deterrent forces, often small in number, and like the vast empires of Fanzan and St. Osor, high-ranking soldiers are the prerogatives of the Empire and games between the great powers. Once owned by a small country like Eruin, the ranks above the sixth rank were essentially meant to change the prevailing continental order, because Eruin was so famous that even the Bukans had followed such a small kingdom, precisely because he had a White Lion Infantry, a whole system of Templar Guardians.

But that was nothing more than a splash, almost a decade later, and nothing like that has happened in the history of Warnde.

So Antina is fine, Kuran is fine, and Brando's mercenary commanders are fine. They haven't thought about it at all. They just think that their lord is a little too idealistic, and the elite is good, but that's too much. Brando was also too lazy to explain to them that his goal was never present, that it was no longer worth mentioning in his mind, that the aristocracy of the North seemed threatening, but that was the most important thing as Valhalla grew up to be nothing more than a turkey crocodile, and that Eru's ability to build such an army had to do with whether the kingdom would finally emerge from its established destiny in the future.

Brando has never forgotten that the aging nobles of Eruin, while sinking the kingdom, are the dangerous enemies that are emerging in the east.

He was in power, arbitrarily and not slowly implementing his expansion plan, but with apparent stability, his anxiety was actually more than a day, and time would not stop waiting for anyone. In fact, instead of waiting for signs that the apparent history had developed more rapidly because of his arrival, Eru had begun to move foolishly because of the surrounding countries, but the development of his subordinate territory was still gradual. Antitina, they see this, and they remind him implicitly that it is only right to relax the demand, but why doesn't he understand, but the question is, what's the point of expanding the cannonball?

They have no idea what kind of opponent Eruin is facing right now.

The whole kingdom is still looking at the impending era of war and chaos with its old eyes, and in fact, Madara, Cruz and even Wind Elves and Fanzan are rapidly completing their military reforms in this dramatic period before the Great Tide. The Bromando Rose in the Dark is one step ahead, followed closely by the Fanzanese, followed by St. Osor, who is in front of Madara, and the Cruz, who finally completed their reforms under the auspices of Emperor Leonarette, thus also suffered the greatest losses in the war. But he was an empire, and the strong support of the Empire and the Temple of Fire allowed it to fail for a moment, but Eruin did not have this ambitious strategy.

The only thing Eluin can learn is Madara, one step ahead of the other, or there will be only one fate.

The war was a precursor, and the beginning of real wind and rain began three years later in the Second Black Rose War, but that was a historic event, and Brando was not sure if the Second Black Rose War of this era would begin earlier. But in this war with the sceptre, he has to figure out the greatest possible gap between the kingdom and Madara in this era, and of course, it would be better to give Madara a warning that the kingdom is not so weak and deceptive that those bone skeletons might consider some more time before choosing to launch the Second Black Rose War.

Every minute is a hope of redemption for Eruin.

So Brando had to be cautious and, as far as possible, strengthen himself before the war, and now a bunch of master craftsmen like Barb had injected him with a needle of strength, which was beyond his expectations. Tonigal's sudden addition of more than a dozen craftsmen and a rank of Beru and Tamar meant that production - especially of magic equipment - had multiplied, and the significance of that increase represented that the first step of his plan was finally on track.

Let the White Lion Guard be the foundation of the Kingdom's central army.

Brando thought about it for a while before returning to God. He seemed to wake up from a long thought, and asked, “Lord Babb, is the Walloon Warriors' Hall operational now? ”

“As long as there is material, it is ready.” Babu replied.

Brando immediately pulled a set of white lion armor out of the dimensional hole and pointed it at Barb and asked him, "Lord Barb, how long will it take you to produce a hundred sets of armor like this?” Brando took out a white lion armor without an enchantment, and Barb just looked at it and shook his head with contempt: “Like this armor, we don't produce it, and I don't think it's worth it at all. ”

I couldn't help but scream in Brando's heart. I thought that this set of nails was a little sour, but at least it was the latest double-hinged armor designed by Burrough. The defense of up to 5 in the white board armor is still arrogant. I didn't expect it to turn into paper paste in Barb's eyes. Are you kidding me? Why don't you give me a piece of paper and I'll see? His heart was defamatory, but nothing unusual appeared on his face, and he took out a set of magic armor used by the sergeant to ask, “What about this? ”

“Barely,” Barb replied, "I remember making a set of toys for my son, probably similar to this one. ”

Brando almost bled out, and he finally realized that these giant craftsmen, although limited in experience and skill, still had high insights. They evaluated the armor by looking at the eyes of their time, so the white lion armor on the white board was really only paper paste in the eyes of the Cloud Giant's time still present on the earth. I'm afraid these giant craftsmen were surprised before. They don't think they've ever seen armor without magic before. This is just too much.

Brandoton sometimes had a sense of frustration despised by the millionaires and couldn't help but say, “Lord Barb, how many of these armors can you build, and I urgently need them to arm my army. ”

“Lord, you should call me by the title of a craftsman," Babb replied, "although he is a man with a higher eye than the top, he is not a fool who doesn't understand the world. Seeing Brando's colour also guesses what mistakes he has made, he hastily replied:“ Don't worry, my lord, these armor forging techniques are really simple for us. It should be fine to build 2,000 sets of armor like this a month. ”

Brando straightaway stayed, he looked at the whole Walloon Warriors Hall, then at Babb, and if it wasn't for the other guy's fame, he'd probably feel like this guy was ignoring him. In this hall, a dozen craftsmen, even if they were masters, would it be possible to build 2,000 sets of magic armor a month —— even the worst of them? Even if Beru and Tama were to do the knife themselves, it would take at least half a month for them to complete an armor, knowing that the production in the Cold Cedar Territory was not only supported by the two of them, but also by a large number of craftsmen from refugees everywhere in Cold Cedar Castle.

“2,000 sets, more than a dozen of you?” He asked a little dry.

“Oh, that's not true,” Bob shook his head: “Lord, you missed it. There are plenty of smart craftsmen in this hall besides us. We can manage to make Ying Ling work for this warrior hall. Though the size of this hall is still very cold and sour, 2,000 sets of magic armor at that level a month is fine. ”

After Babu's explanation, Brando realized that the Walloon Warriors' Hall was the same as Monica's swirl of light, and that he could manage the work of the Spirit. Unlike the Whirlpool of Light, however, the Warriors' Hall can only have more craftsmen when it expands in size, and Babu, they are the leaders of those craftsmen. He gets excited, 2,000 sets of white lion armor per month, or is it enchanted, which means that the White Lion Corps can finally be enlarged on a large scale. Although the newly enlarged sources may not be as reliable as the veterans, as long as these enchanted armor is worn, the worst is the strength of the two ranks. Otherwise, why does the Cruz's third rank noble cavalry fall like that and have the strength of the second rank? The magic equipment that both the Imperial local forces and the aristocratic private armies can afford, and now the base forces of Eruin are finally universal, although it costs a lot of money, but at least until now the problems that money can solve are temporarily not enough for Brando.

After all, there are things that money cannot buy.

And by halving this production to the wind shooter, the army of only fourth-order shooters will soon be ready, even in a slight hurry, and it does not seem impossible to double the number before the end of the war. One hundred and two hundred marksman armies made up of fourth-class soldiers, it was sword year, Brando almost drooled down, but in order to avoid image damage, he rushed to wipe the corner of his mouth, causing Metisa to laugh.

But at this time, the hall sounded an irreconcilable note. “My lord, with all due respect, it makes no sense that you are building these useless things to waste the value of this hallowed hall.” The speaker's voice was loud and high, causing Brando to look back, but he found out that the speaker was a goddess named Gorge who Metisa had previously named, and he had not heard the name of this man, but he understood with a disdainful tone that this guy's reputation among the cloud giants might not be inferior to that of Babu, and he asked hastily: "What can I tell you? ”

In fact, Brando was a little depressed, too, and of course he knew that having these masters build these ‘toys' was a big deal for them, but what was the problem? On the one hand, he has no more advanced drawings and materials, and on the other hand, according to Babu, their level of experience is limited by Valhalla, which is in fact now similar to that of Beru and Tama, and according to Brando, the best thing they can do to help Tonigal now is to increase the size of the two elite forces as soon as possible.

And as for the rest, which may take them six months or months to work together to build an ancient or even fantastic piece of equipment, what's the point? He doesn't want the fighting power of someone.

Gorju shook his head: “Lord, it seems you still don't understand what we really are worth to you,” he stopped, pointing to Buru and Tamar, not far away. "We haven't been back on this land for a long time. We don't know what has happened in Warnde's history, but at least we do know that it seems like these two master-class craftsmen, though not everywhere, should not be rare, you have to recruit, ten or eight should be fine - and do you think this hall means more to you? ”

Brando shrugged, realizing that the rough guy might have something to say, and he couldn't help but look at Barb beside him.

The craftsman of God nodded slowly, "My lord, as I said earlier, this hall is called the Walloon Warriors' Hall, which is the resting place for the warriors in mythology. Providing weapons and armor to warriors here is just one of its ancillary functions. ”

Brando finally reacted, and he got excited: “You mean the forging workshop is just one of the features of this building… is it, is it, or is it a nest? ”

“The nest needs the support of a magic pool, my lord.” Bob shook his head.

“What exactly does that mean?” Brando got a little confused.

“So, Lord, have you ever heard of a name like Valkyrie? ”

Barb asked word for word.
