Chapter 173 Winter training ends, army organization changes

After Baird left, Verin squatted and studied ancient magic devices.

Half an hour later, he finally chose to give up and put it into the space ring, along with four treasure boxes with magic locks, ready to take it to Aljeta for him to take a look at.

If the other party can't solve it, then you can only deal with these things after the family's support for your caster team arrives at the Lake of Praying Stars.

After two days of rest, Weilin set off for the winter training camp.

As the winter training comes to an end, the standing army soldiers in the winter training camp are still not slacking off at all.

They witnessed their unqualified colleagues being stripped of their military status and transferred to the militia, which greatly aggravated their sense of crisis.

Before he even got close to the winter training camp, Weilin heard roars and became very angry.

Viewed from a distance, thousands of shirtless soldiers carrying boulders weighing more than 200 kilograms were running quickly around the perimeter of the winter training camp, faster than ordinary people running at full strength.

After stopping for a moment on the hill to watch the soldiers run in a complete circle, they drove their horses to the camp.

"Sir." The soldier on duty at the entrance of the winter training camp leaned over and saluted, his eyes showing determination.

Weilin nodded with satisfaction and drove his horse into the winter training camp.

He dismounted, handed his mount to the bronze knight who was following him, and then headed to the wooden house in the middle of the camp with Kyle.

At this moment, only Cassius was left in the center of the winter training camp, while the other two deputy instructors were coordinating the training.

Seeing the door open, Cassius stopped his swordsmanship training and saluted Verin: "My lord."

"Well done. I can see that your training results are beyond my imagination." Weilin stepped forward and said with a smile.

Cassius's expression did not change, and he stated calmly: "With the supply of black-skinned pork, the three months of training in the winter training camp is worth the normal three years of training."

"Come on, come into the room and tell me the results of the past three months of training."

Cassius nodded, put on his coat, and led the two of them into the wooden house.

"Lord, according to your plan, we will remove the eliminated soldiers. There are currently 26 intermediate bronze warriors, 567 low-level bronze warriors, and 2,326 high-level warrior apprentices. .”

"The rest are all mid-level warrior apprentices. These people are talented and will only have a short time to enter the standing army. It remains to be seen."

Although he had already browsed the relevant documents in the castle, Verin was still shocked to hear Cassius's face-to-face report.

Three months ago, the number of bronze warriors in the 3,600 standing army was less than 150. Now the number has quadrupled.

However, the number of intermediate bronze warriors dropped off a cliff, which had a lot to do with talent.

When resources are sufficient, there is no doubt that talented people are better and can reach a higher level in a short period of time.

"Let me ask you, how long will it take for the standing army to reach the level of Bronze Warrior?" An idea suddenly popped up in Verin's mind, and he asked Cassius.

"Three times the supply of black-skinned pork, we can achieve this goal in one year." Cassius thought about it and answered.

"I'll think of a way."

Verin planned to go back and communicate with Randolph to see if he could triple the size of the black-skinned pig business within a year.

Since raising black-skinned pigs requires food, Weilin even planned to bring in his cousin and two uncles to trade meat for food, thus expanding the scale of breeding in disguise.

The thought of pulling out the army, all bronze warriors, and blinding many people's eyes, made Verin feel extremely satisfied just thinking about it.

"I'm going to reorganize the standing army and put it under unified command from the castle. What do you think?" Verin looked at Cassius and stated the purpose of his trip.

"There are 3,600 people. My subordinates suggest that the establishment of squads and squadrons should be retained, and the establishment of large groups should be reduced to 550 people. A battalion should be set up with five brigades, and 150 to 200 knights or knights should be organized. The attendants are directly under the command of the Silver Knight as the battalion commander." Cassius thought for a few minutes and answered slowly.

This plan coincided with the organization that Weilin was thinking about, but there were still some shortcomings. He considered incorporating mages into the army. This idea came from the yet-to-be-established mages academy.

But at this stage, Cassius's plan is the best choice.

The 3,600 men could be organized into seven brigades. Considering that the three towns needed defense strength, Weilin planned to organize the seven brigades into three battalions.

The standing army of Qixing Town is under the direct jurisdiction of the castle. Orlando Town and Lansha Town are far away, and are governed by Orlando and Andrew.

As for the vacant establishment, it will be reserved for future army expansion to fill.

Two days later, winter training officially ended, and reorganization followed.

Under the organization of Cassius, Isius and Iden, it took two days to complete the reorganization of the standing army.

The first battalion was named Qixing Battalion. It had three brigades of 1,500 people and 300 bronze warriors. It was considered to be on par with the infantry of the kingdom's standing army. It was the most powerful unit and was entrusted by Weilin. High hopes.

The second battalion and the third battalion each have two brigades with a strength of 1,000 people. Each battalion has more than 100 bronze warriors. They are organized according to the organization of aristocratic troops qualified to participate in the war. They only have code names and no titles.

Weilin also gave orders to the military commanders of the three battalions on the spot.

Cassius serves as the commander of the Qixing Camp and is directly under the jurisdiction of the castle. When necessary, he must obey the orders of Baird, the consul of Qixing Town.

Isius served as the commander of the second battalion, which served as the garrison of Orlando Town and accepted the orders of Orlando, the consul of Orlando Town.

Eden serves as the deputy commander of the third battalion, and the commander of the third battalion is concurrently served by Andrew as the garrison force of Lansha Town.

Verin also made a promise on the spot as to when Eden would become a Silver Warrior and when he would become a full member.

This promise aroused Eden's ambition. Standing at the front of the queue, he couldn't help clenching his fists. No matter what, he must break through the barrier and become a silver warrior.

For yourself, but also for your family.

The three days after the reorganization is completed is the army's running-in period.

Three days later, the winter training plan officially ended, and the troops of the three battalions headed to their defense areas one after another.

After finishing the winter training, Verin first went to visit the guardian of the territory, Anastasia, and then went to the Adventurer's Tavern with ancient magic devices and four treasure chests with magic locks to ask for the silver dragon Algerta. Help solve it.

Of course, gold coins were indispensable. Weilin had someone prepare four thousand gold coins in advance and put them in a wooden box.

On the second floor of the Adventurer Tavern, Verin visited this place for the second time.

This time, as expected, Silver Dragon Argenta brought out the newly brewed wine in the past three months.
