Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning

Chapter 129 Strengthening the Army Plan

The fortress of Huitu Village is very simple and not large in area. ☜♦

It seemed a bit crowded when Luo Ning and a dozen of his subordinates swarmed in, and since there were not many stools, some people could only stand around the table at the back, as if they couldn't get to the table while eating.

"Redal's battle was great. I hope everyone can learn from him. Especially the professional knights, our commander never hesitates to guide you to improve."

Luo Ning sat in the main seat and said seriously: "But we must also face it. This time we can avoid a head-on conflict with the Thain Territory because of Redal's personal strength. We cannot ignore the external threats that still exist."

Everyone also knew in their hearts that the territorial disputes would not disappear because of this small victory.

In particular, Leisen was interested in the Savage Tribe early on, but in the end, Luo Ning, a latecomer, had more management rights. The other party was absolutely unwilling to accept this situation.

"Although we won this duel, we cannot be immersed in the temporary victory and neglect to face our own shortcomings. In addition to top combat power, there is still a big gap between us and the Thain Territory in other aspects."

Luo Ning recalled the feeling when he saw Leisen's knight team for the first time. He felt a sense of oppression, and at the same time, he felt envious.

He Luoning also needs a team like this.

"First of all, every knight in Leisen's knight team is carefully selected, and there are many newcomers among us."

Ronin looked at Juwitt, Sim, George, Thomas...

Some of them have only awakened the seeds of fighting spirit for less than two months, and some are from savage tribes, and their own fighting skills are not very good. Compared with the knights in the regular knight team, they will definitely be weaker.

"Let's practice!"

Ronin looked at Redal, "Don't worry about getting hurt. I brought Elrond here this time. He will be stationed in Gray Earth Village from now on. If you are injured in the competition, you can seek treatment from him for free."

"I understand, sir!"

Rydal nodded solemnly, "Starting from tomorrow, the professional knights and guards will start practicing. I will formulate corresponding training plans to improve their combat level as quickly as possible."

What Luo Ning taught before was only used to train discipline and obedience. In actual combat, people like Rydal and McCann who had led the team would need to take the lead and provide other support.

"There will be a knight tournament at the end of the year."

Luo Ning put forward his plan: "Let all the junior knights participate and compete for the top three. I will give out rewards, 10 gold coins for the first place, 5 gold coins for the second place, and 1 gold coin for the third place."

All the junior knights present looked at each other with sparkles in their eyes.

If senior and intermediate knights such as Ruidal and Bablin participated, they would have no chance of finishing in the top three.

But now there is only a competition between junior knights. They have every chance, and it is not impossible to even get first place.

Everyone has experienced the generosity of the lord. In the past few months, there has never been any delay in salary arrears. Since the bonus was agreed upon in public, it was a sure thing.

That is a reward of 10 gold coins, equivalent to a year's salary of a junior knight!

All the junior knights present silently clenched their fists. The end of the year is coming soon and they must give it a good try.

"The guards will also compete. I will support the top three with 5, 2, and 1 gold coins."

Luo Ning continued to add: "Such competitions are held twice a year, once at the end of June and once at the end of December. You, Elrond, will be responsible for the specific arrangements."

Elrond smiled and said: "This competition of yourselves will definitely mobilize the enthusiasm of the knights and guards."

Luo Ning did this to improve the competitiveness of the knights. Otherwise, it would be almost useless just to practice. Having a ranking and setting up rewards will make them more motivated.

After talking about this matter, Luo Ning started the second matter-that is, forming the knight team of Shanlin Town.

Only a baron with a standard squad of knights is a true baron.

With Luo Ning's current strength, funds and the strength of his main followers, he can consider this matter.

At present, the number of knights in his hands is sufficient, and he also has three magicians, including Irene.

Putting aside the actual combat power of this group of people, at least the number of extraordinary people fully meets the requirements of a standard knight squad.

What he lacks now is cavalry, infantry, and archers.

"Ridal has been training dozens of militiamen in Huitu Village these days, and most of them are still a little thin."

Luo Ning said to Redal: "Survival of the fittest, go back and select, get rid of the ones that are close to each other, and how many people are left for McCann to recruit from Shanlin Town. Thirty-six cavalry, sixty infantry, and ten archers. , configured according to a standard knight squad."

The two responded in unison: "As you wish, my lord!"

But McCann was a little worried. He had been following him since the beginning, and he knew a little more about some things than Rydal.

"My lord, it seems we don't have enough war horses."

Luo Ning has walked all the way until now. In addition to the Cloud-Stepping Horse, he has three fine war horses, five ordinary war horses, and twenty-three riding horses, adding up to a total of thirty-one horses.

In addition, he also has nineteen horses used to pull carts, but they are different from riding horses and war horses, and are not suitable for charging into battle.

In this way, his war horses are indeed short of nearly twenty horses.

"I know about this."

Luo Ning said thoughtfully: "I will leave for Wushanpu in the middle of next month. On the way, I will detour to Muma City to buy some from Viscount Marvin."

In fact, in addition to war horses, there are also issues such as equipment.

The ironwood workshop is in operation, and these armors are completely sufficient for ordinary cavalry and infantry.

As for the knights, due to the different strengths of the enemies they fight, you can still use iron and wood armor at the elementary level, but you still have to prepare iron and wood armor at the intermediate and advanced levels.

Luo Ning currently only has seven sets of full-body armor, which is barely enough, but he will definitely need to make up for it later.

But this can all be made up for later. Prioritize the personnel and train them, which is the real thing.

"Although my current arrangements are only for junior knights and guards, there are also intermediate magicians and knights here, as well as Elron and you three senior extraordinary beings. You must also improve yourselves as soon as possible."

Having said this, Ruidal couldn't help but spread his hands and looked at Luo Ning with a smile, which seemed to mean "I can't improve even if I want to".

Luo Ning could only give him a "Don't worry, it's coming soon" look.

"In the future, Shanlin Town will definitely not have only one knight team. There will be space and position for you to display your talents. Everyone, work hard!"

Everyone knows that Luo Ning himself is powerful. Although he has never revealed his specific level, it can be seen from many discussions with McCann and Redal that at least among the junior knights in Shanlin Town, he is the third. one.

The lord is powerful, and there are two bronze-level subordinates, plus a high-level light attribute magician. It is definitely not easy for this group of people to get together.

Fortunately for Tom, Jewett and others who had followed Luo Ning early on, those extraordinary beings from the savage tribe only felt more and more that following Luo Ning was the wisest choice they had made in their lives.

Therefore, although Luo Ning is drawing a cake, everyone will happily eat this cake after winning this duel.
