Lord of Riding and Slashing

Two months later, in front of the Demon Palace, Nord looked at the assembled army, and felt infinite emotion in his heart. He was about to embark on the road to contend for the hegemony of the mainland, and the next battle with the Kingdom of Seaman was overwhelming for Nord. In Bidu, Nord must preemptively take advantage of the fact that the Seaman Kingdom has not recovered from the last war.

Two months is not enough time for the Seaman Kingdom to re-establish a large army. All the 40,000 troops that entered the Principality of Bethel last time remained on this land. Now Nord still has a few thousand troops in his hands. Human captives are building roads every day.

Even if the national strength of the Seaman Kingdom is strong, the 40,000 casualties will definitely hurt them, and Nord has not been idle for the past two months. He has also recruited four people in the western and southern regions that he just bought. Thousands of soldiers, maybe it shouldn't be called the western border and the southern border.

Because Nord adopted the reform of the new system, the Kingdom of Demon currently has five provinces, namely Jon Province in the south, Morley Province in the west, Belem Province in the center, Divin Province in the east, and the Province in the north. In the province of Twente, Nord adopts the provincial system.

Using one of the largest cities in the province to control the entire area, and to control the area by point, can also make the work changes in the early stage of the kingdom easier, because as long as these five large cities are managed well, the whole country can be controlled. purpose, especially with the current shortage of manpower.

Nord's kingdom still has a military minister, but this position is still vacant. Nord originally wanted Old Moll to take this position, but his experience and ability are not enough to take this position, although he is now What you do is part of the job of the military minister.

Nord has been letting the old Moore train soldiers during this time. The troops in the southern Jon province were recruited by Marko, but the unified training was still done by the old Mole, and in the last battle, Marco also broke through. Ultimate became a general, but Nord never thought of the exclusive arms he drew.

Marko's exclusive unit is the Sarion Lion Knight. This knight is a heavy armored cavalry just like the Swadian Knight. The main reason is that they use weapons differently. The Sarion Lion Knight uses heavy armor, hard shields, and lions. Maces, they are more suitable for hand-to-hand combat, and they are also very lethal to heavily armored enemies.

However, the selection of personnel is repeated with Lehman's Knights. They all need soldiers with strong melee capabilities, but there are very few senior soldiers in melee combat under Nord's command, because the upgrade speed of these melee soldiers is far away. It's not as good as the ranged troops standing behind.

Now Nord has many high-level long-range units under his command, but none of them can be transferred to become more powerful knights, which makes Nord a little depressed, so the construction of the Marko Knights can only be temporarily stranded, and later With the right manpower, let him form it.

Nord also thought about whether to allow those noble knights to join Nord's team. They were also very eager to make meritorious service for Nord's battle. In the end, Nord gave up. It is not the time for these knights to join the army.

However, in order to divert attention, Nord has already prepared a kingdom knight competition, allowing all the knights in the wild of the Demon Kingdom to have the opportunity to participate. The top ten knights who win can be awarded the title of honorary knight of the kingdom by Nord, and The knights who stand out in this competition still have the opportunity to join the Nord army.

Since the news of this annual knight competition was released, knights from all over the country have been chasing after it. As the news spread, more and more knights rushed to Veron City from all directions, and then let Veron The city became very lively.

Nord led the army under such circumstances. Except for the soldiers who stayed in Belon City, Nord led a total of 20,000 troops to the expedition this time. Two months ago, a steady stream of supplies came from various The place was transported to Jon City, which will become Nord's logistics base for this war.

The supplies needed by the army were sent to the front line from Jon City. For this reason, Nord specially transferred Rowell to Jon City, just to ensure that this battle can go on smoothly. The battle in the Kingdom of Man has been fully prepared.

During this time, Nord also had some understanding of the terrain of the Seaman Kingdom. The Seaman Kingdom is a kingdom in the north-central part of the mainland, and it is a very rich country. It occupies two major plains on the mainland, the Hilo Plain and the Mann The Mu Plain is the country with the highest grain production on the Nordson Continent, known as the granary on the continent.

The area of ​​the Seaman Kingdom is about the size of two Demon Kingdoms. The land area is very large and the terrain is also very flat. It is a typical plain country. The soldiers of the Seaman Kingdom are mainly light infantry and archers. There are also a small number of light cavalry, but the scale is not very large.

Moreover, the population of the Seaman Kingdom is also very large. Because of the very high food production, although the civilians of the Seaman Kingdom are very poor, there is no risk of starvation. Life is not very pleasant.

After Nord led the army out of the province of Jon, he saw the endless plains. The border between the Kingdom of Himan and the Kingdom of Demon is this mountain range, which is like a dividing line, separating the mountains and the plains. Split into two countries.

Nord felt very novel after entering the territory of the Kingdom of Himan, because the scenery here is very different from that near the Amon Mountains. It is a feeling of peace and stability.

The breeze blows, the wheat waves come and go, the farmers in the village are working hard in the fields, and there are children playing and playing in the fields, but all these are imagined by Nord, and the villages passing through several borders in Nord are empty. There is no one there, and the house has been vacant for a long time from the look of it.

Nord can see from the ruins of the villages that these villages were abandoned because of war and looting. This is where the Principality of Besse has been committing crimes before. It is no wonder that the civilians of the Heman Kingdom hate the Principality of Besse very much. Because these soldiers of the Principality of Beser did commit many crimes on them.

In fact, this is also an important reason why Nord is unwilling to let those nobles and knights join his army. Nord is afraid that they will bring down the ethos of the Nord army. The requirements are still very strict.

From the beginning of enlisting in the army, Nord began to strictly demand them. Nord's discipline requirements for soldiers in the army far exceeded this era, and Nord recruited all recruits, and there was no veteran at all, although they He has strong combat experience, but he has also acquired some bad habits.

In order to maintain the purity of the team, Nord had no choice but to exclude these people, so now the soldiers of Nord's army are very simple, obeying Nord's orders, and there will be no such behavior of looting civilians , once discovered, Nord will deal with it strictly, and will not let those bad habits grow in the army.
