Chapter 505 Surrounding Reactions

When there are more than ten thousand people, they come in all shapes and sizes.

The number of immigrants in Darauma was 15% more than originally estimated, reaching more than 15,000.

Including the more than 2,000 people brought back by General Copperfield, the total population approached 18,000.

Not to mention the various horses, mules, donkeys and cattle, totaling more than 10,000, and more than 1,000 trucks of different specifications.

Gavin and Zalanda are the kind of people who are flexible and adaptable. The main tone they set in previous meetings was not static, but a variety of policies in parallel, such as buying, renting, replacing, or Adjustment, all means are used together.

"Where are you going?" Zalanda, who was in front of the desk, flipping through various documents quickly, asked without raising her head.

Gavin, who was tiptoeing and preparing to sneak away, suddenly stiffened, turned around and showed a flattering smile and said: "I'm going to go outside and take a look. Today is Darren's first day to set up a flag and recruit soldiers. I heard that there is blood." Already..."

"General Copperfield is already there, assisted by the medical team led by Anna, and the Goliath Guards led by Carissa. What's there to worry about? They are all a group of passionate warriors, and when they get together to compete for status, What could be more appropriate than a fight? It’s normal to see blood.”

Zalanda finished reading the official document in her hand, raised her head and looked at Gavin seriously and said, "That's their battlefield. If you go, not only are you not helping Darren, but you are causing trouble for him. What does it mean to be a vanguard?" Army? That is the first shield apart from the main army. You can control it remotely, but you cannot control it directly. You must give it the power to respond on its own. General Copperfield saw this advantage in Darren, and he just Recommend him to you, you have to change your habit of wanting to get involved in everything, and give this child enough room to grow, so that he can surprise you. "

"I know." Gavin coughed dryly and explained, "I might have appeared directly just now, but I was observing invisibly."

Of course, he couldn't tell Zalanda that he just looked at the piles of statistical data, which made his head hurt, and wanted to go out to relax. That would only lead to a lecture.

But Zalanda was not so easy to fool, and snorted coldly: "I think you are tired of reading the written information, so prepare to leave! Sit back and continue to analyze and evaluate the abilities of those knights. They will be you The foundation, your core team, and your middle and high-level human beings in the future are also likely to come from here.

From now on, your management philosophy must undergo a complete change. You can no longer deal directly with the common people at the bottom like you did before. No matter how efficient you are, you are still a human being. You do nothing 24 hours a day. , how many civilians can you meet and how many things can you handle?

People-friendly activities can be held, but most of them are just a show for the people.

Your main task is to understand and control these knight commanders here, so that they can make the best use of their talents and resources. Let them be your eyes, your hands, and your mouth. Use them to see and do what you want. You can do what you want and say what you want. In this way, you can incarnate hundreds, even thousands, and control hundreds of thousands, even millions, or tens of millions of people. "

In recent days, the two have been inseparable, with Zalanda teaching Gai Wen the true way of a lord.

"What Madam taught me is that I was slacking off. Let's continue to evaluate the level of these knight commanders." Gavin sat back at the desk obediently.

He understood all the principles Zalanda said, but some things could not be reversed in a short time.

"This knight named Bude, the way he has done things in the past three days has been too simple and crude. He is an out-and-out reckless man. He is not suitable to stay in the main army as the commander of the civilian brigade, but should be placed in the main army. The vanguard troops charged into battle."

"I think so too. On the contrary, Bob, as his deputy, is cautious and careful. Their team has not been reduced to a pot of gruel. He takes the most credit, so it is better to make him the commander directly and then serve for him." He picked a deputy because he already knew the team."

"Yes, but his professional level is a little lower. When equipping a deputy, you can balance it as appropriate."

"It's not easy to balance. Once the gap is too big, the deputy will not only not be his help, but will easily become his resistance, triggering an internal struggle for power. The possibility of them directly facing the war is very small. Give him a relatively upright person. Just start.”

"It's okay to do this. Just pay more attention and adjust in time. Let's move on to the next one. This Donald's performance is very eye-catching. He needs force and skill, and he needs to be very flexible in handling things. He can do it alone. The work of the two people and the deputy knight who works with him has become an outright decoration, which also shows that this person has a strong desire for power and needs further understanding and investigation. "

"The desire for power is not entirely a bad thing. It depends on whether you can suppress it and use it for your own use. When we control people, we not only want to use their loyalty, but also their desires."

"You have recently been addicted to using evil people. Be careful of being stabbed in the back."

"The knife in the back can only come from someone who is unprepared, not someone who is alert. You can't deny that these evil villains are indeed very useful sometimes."

"This is a matter of personal philosophy. I won't argue with you today. Let's deal with business first. Let's continue..."

Gavin and his team did not fully adopt Copperfield's suggestion to use the knights he brought as the commander and deputy commander of all civilian brigades. Instead, they adopted a compromise method, selecting one from the knights and a more capable person from the local citizens of Dalaoma to work together to form a civilian brigades of 100 people.

Doing so is, of course, for them to better carry out their work in Dalaoma. After all, it is easier to do things with acquaintances.

This is not absolute. In the end, it depends on the ability they show after they take up their posts.

Some are worthy of the name. Even if there is no local people familiar with the situation to cooperate, they are like fish in water and manage the civilians assigned to them obediently.

Some are just in name only. They were kicked out and replaced by others after only half a day in office.

In general, the former are more common. Copperfield, the veteran, still has a very sharp vision.

As Zalanda said, these front-line commanders will be Gavin's new eyes, new hands, and new feet in the future. As long as he controls them well, he will control the entire army and the entire territory.

With qualified commanders of battalions in place, the framework of the Migration Corps is being set up and expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As time goes by, not only is there no longer the complexity at the beginning, but it is easier to manage and drive.

Especially with the establishment of the Vanguard Corps and the Nott Guard Corps, the civilians have become more enthusiastic to cooperate. These two legions can be their guardians or their suppressors, depending on their own performance.

There is no need to say much about the Nott Guard Corps. It was originally planned to have 1,000 people, but after the expansion, it actually has 1,200 people. Nora is not old, but she is a veteran with unquestionable strength. She has always used her fists to subdue her subordinates. With an extraordinary mount, no one dares to challenge her head-on. Moreover, this violent big woman is a believer of the Lady of Strategy, not the King of War Tempus. She is rough but delicate, and she is also very good at various military strategies and tactics.

In addition, she was already leading an elite heavy cavalry, all of whom were her confidants who had followed her for more than half a year. It was naturally much easier to expand based on this.

In comparison, it was more difficult to form a vanguard army from scratch.

Not only was Darren's strength and reputation difficult to convince the public, but also because the van was a brand-new war machine that everyone had come into contact with for the first time.

Since it was called the vanguard army instead of the light cavalry vanguard army, it must be centered around this war tool.

Darren soon showed the reason why General Copperfield looked at him differently. He had his own unique speed of accepting new things and understanding of tactical application.

Not only from the way of war, but also with his own talents, he seemed to be born to eat this bowl of rice.

Soon, he took out an article about the method of forming a vanguard army and the use of tactics. Although the handwriting was as clumsy as that of an eight or nine-year-old child, the content inside was insightful. After reading it, Gavin couldn't help but applaud. Darren not only grasped the essence of the use of vans, but also deeply understood his intention of forming a vanguard army.

Compared with the light cavalry riding light horses, the van army can't be much faster, even if it is fast, and it can't even compare with the speed of heavy cavalry.

After all, the van that Gavin prepared is only lighter than the building-type chariot. In comparison, it is taller than an ordinary heavy truck, and at least two horses are required to drive flexibly.

However, as the vanguard of the civilian immigrant army, the van army is competent enough.

Therefore, the main responsibility of the van van army is not to advance quickly, but to steadily and steadily, to clear the way, set up camps, cook, and other auxiliary arms before the civilian immigrant army.

After encountering the enemy, the main focus is not to kill the enemy, but to quickly assemble the chariot formation, delay the enemy, wait for the entire army of the civilian immigrants to press forward, or for the Nott Guards to go around the enemy's flank, and then launch an offensive depending on the situation.

In short, the essence of the sidecar corps is defense, not attack.

Darren grasped this point.

The problem of winning the crowd was naturally solved by Kaelissa and the Goliaths she led.

The racial character of Goliath is more inclined to soldiers. They advocate collective cooperation, friendly competition, and let the strong lead themselves.

Moreover, they do not have the arrogance of the big races, and treat all those who can compete with them fairly.

Naturally, it is very easy to win the favor of those mercenaries, professional soldiers, and knights.

Kaelissa's way of dealing with those unruly mercenaries is essentially the same as Nora's, both of which use powerful force to conquer them.

But there are slight differences in the application.

Compared with individual competition, she advocates group competition more.

The Goliaths led by her fully demonstrated what it means to be invincible in foot combat.

Let alone fifty to fifty.

Even if it was fifty to five hundred, or ten times their number, they were fearless. Both men and women laughed and rushed towards the enemy with huge fists. Some of them were so excited that they directly picked up an opponent and used him as a weapon to swing. After causing serious consequences such as several serious injuries, they were strictly prohibited from using such moves, and the barbarians were prohibited from starting a frenzy.

This was equivalent to tying up one of their hands and feet. Even so, after all the more than 2,000 people brought by Copperfield were beaten up, they were the ones who were beaten up.

This is the crushing from racial characteristics and professional level.

They are the core of the entire sidecar army. Whether it is a sidecar or other soldiers, they are their vassals, and many tactics will revolve around them.

After having this awareness, the mercenaries suddenly became much more honest, accepting the adaptations and arrangements peacefully, and practicing new tactics.

In addition, there is another reason that cannot be ignored. Gavin's employer is as generous, generous, and wealthy as General Copperfield promised them along the way. He has enough potential to provide numerous promotions. Ladder, as long as you are good enough, even if you are temporarily buried, it will not take long before you will shine. Everyone is gearing up, preparing to show off their talents on the road of migration and make themselves stand out from the crowd.

The great momentum that Gavin and the others created in Darauma is quite a big deal.

A large amount of manpower and material resources were gathered to select soldiers and form legions.

This is a precursor to a standard military operation.

The warlords and nobles who had territorial handovers with Darauma were all alerted. They mobilized their forces in the direction of Darauma, and countless spies were sent out.

Among them, the reaction from Saradas City was the most intense.

A heavy cavalry force of 3,000 men surged forward along the Zhasa Road. In just one day, they arrived at a small village named Nisa and set up camp here.

Compared to Saradas, this place is closer to Darauma. You only need to walk another 25 kilometers along the Zasa Road to reach the city of Darauma.

It is a very coincidence that a month ago, the Root of the Gods was less than two kilometers away from here. It broke out of the Mir Forest and rushed towards Darauma.

Because I haven’t had time to deal with it, this horrific trace still exists to this day.

Saradas's heavy cavalry arrived here, and within an hour, another heavy cavalry rumbled from the direction of Darauma.

Although this heavy cavalry is only one-sixth of Saradas's heavy cavalry, its momentum is not small at all. They are all blood-red sealed armors, all red horses, and a red battle flag is fluttering in the wind. There is a knight chess piece.

This is the holy symbol of the Counselor Lady, and it now has a new meaning in Tethyr, the banner of Zalanda, Lord of Dalauma.

The same number of Saradas heavy cavalry came forward and met the Dalauma heavy cavalry in front of the Root of God channel.

Compared with the brightly colored Dalauma heavy cavalry, the Saradas heavy cavalry is obviously much simpler, black with silver, solemn and a bit luxurious. Their flag is a horse face, with an inlay on the forehead. Holding a huge faceted gem.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the symbol of the Omlaran gem. This family regards the war horse and the Omlaran gem as the two foundations of the family.

Two horses galloped out of Darauma's camp.

Yiqi is covered in blood-red armor and wears a golden faceplate. Her fiery red hair is flying in the wind. Her beauty and prowess have reached a perfect balance.

The other rider is the only one with various colors in the Darauma camp. A set of silver armor shines with a dazzling light that makes it difficult to look directly at it. The mount under his crotch is also snow-white, with no mottled colors on the whole body.

Of course they were none other than Zalanda and Gavin.

The same two cavalry galloped out of the Saradas heavy cavalry. Their armor was very similar to other Saradas heavy cavalry, except that it was inlaid with gold rims. The biggest difference was on the helmets, which had a baby's fist-sized ball inlaid in the middle. The multi-faceted gems sparkle with obscure and powerful magic fluctuations. They are obviously not decorations, but have unique magical effects.

"The one on the left is Conrad Saradas, the first heir of the Saradas family. If nothing else happens, he will become the next head of the Saradas family. He currently serves as the first heir of the Saradas family. Commander of the Heavy Cavalry Legion.

The one on the right is his deputy commander, named Matthew. He is the top master of the First Heavy Cavalry Corps and a quasi-legendary warrior.

Their acting style completely follows the Saradas family tradition. Either they don't move, or when they move, they rush out and strike with thunder. "

Zalanda quickly introduced the information about the two people coming to Gavin.

It's a similar situation on the other side.

As soon as the two sides faced each other, Zalanda struck preemptively and said: "Captain Conard, you brought the First Army to our door. What is your intention? Are you bullying us, Darauma?"

Conrad laughed angrily and said: "Lord Zalanda, you are a typical evil person who files a complaint first, and we have to ask you, what do you want to do?"

"We didn't hide from the beginning. We are organizing people to immigrate to the valley. We have set a time and will set off in three days." Zalanda then explained the actions they made in Darauma.

"Immigration?" Conrad sneered, "Do immigrants need to form a new legion? Do immigrants need to recruit an army of hobgoblins?"

The Saradas family is worthy of the title of the uncrowned king of eastern Tethyr. Darauma's every move cannot be hidden from their eyes, including the Blood Claw Legion that only stayed here for a few days.

"Whether you believe it or not, this is the fact. We have no intention of provoking a dispute." Zalanda spread his hands with an expression that said if you don't believe it, there is nothing we can do.

But she also understood why the Saradas family had such a big reaction.

There is no danger to defend between the two sides. As long as the troops are assembled, the army will be able to reach the opponent's city within three days.

If it was the other party, I would also be worried if they made such a big fuss.

This kind of worry cannot be alleviated by just one or two explanations.

Conrad snorted again, obviously unable to accept this explanation.

The talks between the two sides fell into a deadlock as soon as they started.
