Chapter 54: Lao Li, You Can Become a Commander

In the tent, after Leomar reported the specific details of the three battalions, Garin silently calculated the number of the Red Flame Army. The Highlands recruited 3,000 soldiers, and the current number of soldiers in the base exceeded 5,000, not including the units trained in the Secret Temple, the workshop, and the Griffin's Nest.

There are already more than 8,000 soldiers capable of fighting.

This scene feels familiar.

"Old Li, you're almost going to be a division commander!"

"Ah? Your Highness, what did you say?" Omar had just finished his report when he heard Garin say this. He was a little puzzled as to what the prince meant.

Oops, I was distracted just now and said something I shouldn’t have said?

"Ah, it's okay. I mean that Adjutant Amor can command a legion in battle again."

Amor was demoted from adjutant of the legion to captain of the personal guards. If he was only used to protect Garin, it would be a waste of his talent. The correct way to use his talents is to lead the battle as a commander.

Varokal interrupted at this time and said, "Your Highness is right. Our team of three has 3,000 people, plus the more than 2,000 old brothers we had before, more than 5,000 people, which is close to the number of a legion!"

The military organization of the Human Kingdom follows that of the Arathor Empire, with 6,000 people as a regular legion, and some auxiliary personnel for supply transportation. This is very similar to the military organization of ancient Rome.

"We now have eight thousand people in the Red Flame Army!" Garin threw a bomb at them.

"Eight thousand people! Do we already have more than one legion of brothers?" Carlocar shouted.

This news also attracted the attention of more than a dozen people in the tent, including the experienced Amor and the calm and rational Omar.

"Yes, while you were recruiting soldiers from various places, Master Gandalf also used teleportation spells to go to the eastern border of the kingdom to recruit soldiers."

As soon as Jialin finished speaking, more than a dozen people showed excitement on their faces. The stronger the Red Flame Army is, the greater their room for improvement. How could they not show their joy?

At this moment, the skeleton of Garin's officers has taken shape. Captain Omar of the First Battalion and Captain Varokar of the Second Battalion have a total of six newly promoted middle-level officers under their command. They were all members of Garin's guards, who performed outstandingly in the last battle and were promoted by Garin.

Fadil still commanded 400 men in his army, while Flar and Kimir each commanded 300 men.

There were a total of fifteen people in the tent, with Garin at the head, Amor and Gandalf in front, as well as Harmon Kaven who was in charge of logistics, a group of officers, and a strong man who was very unfamiliar to Omar and the others. They formed the backbone officers of the Red Flame Army at this stage.

Garin planned to wait until they had more combat experience and became more mature before he began to dispatch the soldiers from the base to their command.

After waiting for a while to let the officers digest the emotions brought about by this news, Garin continued:

"Everyone here knows each other well and has experienced battles together. Now, let me introduce to you a new expert who has joined our Red Flame Army, Aragorn, an eighth-level professional and a believer in Holy Light!"

The strong are always respected. Everyone greeted Aragorn and he nodded one by one.

At level eight, among the dozen or so people present, only Amor and Gandalf were stronger than the man called Aragorn, and Omar was only on par with him.

Aragorn is the second new hero summoned by the Altar of Kings, a Paladin. When the Paladin finished his training and walked out of the Altar of Kings, Garin, who had difficulty naming, directly named the Paladin Aragorn. Since there was already Gandalf, it was normal to have one more Aragorn.

This time, summoning the second hero cost Garin a lot of resources, and it was no longer free like summoning the first hero.

The paladin Aragorn, who had just completed training, was only at the peak of level seven because of Garin's strength.

In order for Aragorn to successfully enter the upper echelons of the Red Flame Army, a higher strength would be a good method, so Gandalf led Aragorn to teleport from Minas Tirith to the vicinity of Deadwood Village, constantly attacking the Deadwood Village patrols, killing the patrolling trolls, thereby gaining experience, and finally yesterday his strength stabilized to the initial stage of the eighth level.

After everyone got to know Aragorn, Garin discussed the next stage of the task with everyone.

"I have accepted an important mission from the kingdom to develop a new town in the northeastern region of the kingdom."

This is another breaking news. The kingdom has not opened up new territories for many years. Most of the land in the heart of the kingdom belongs to the Trollbane royal family, and other lands have also been divided. They want to become new nobles and make military achievements. Opening up border lands is one of the few ways to get promoted.

So everyone below was excited again, and Jialin understood it very well, but there was one exception.

"Your Highness, aren't we going to fight anymore? Why do we need to join the pioneering army?"

No one else can say this except Varokal.

"Shut up, Karl, and listen to what His Highness has to say!"

As a good friend, Omar was really embarrassed to watch it. Didn’t he see that everyone was expecting the prince to continue speaking?

Jialin didn't care. As long as his subordinates were loyal, he didn't care about these little things.

"Opening up new towns is an important plan for the kingdom. The reason I took on this mission is because this plan fits in with the next phase of our Red Flame Army's goals."

Including Varokal who was being reprimanded, all the officers listened quietly to His Royal Highness's explanation.

"One of the Red Flame Army's targets is Deadwood Village, and they want to bring this troll gathering point under the rule of the kingdom. Building a town in the northeast will help us monitor the Alterac Mountains in the north, and at the same time, we can set up outposts to prevent the trolls of the Hinterlands from supporting Deadwood Village from the north."

"Finally, I can apply to the kingdom for the new territory we have opened up in the northeast. Warriors who perform well in the battle against the trolls in Deadwood Village will be given the title of Pioneer Knight at the lowest level, and will be given a piece of land of the same size as the title!"

Garin assigned tasks to each team, including Harmon Kawen's logistics team. They set up outposts, patrolled the border, and purchased construction materials. The plan began to be implemented, and everything went according to plan.

The officers left the tent with their missions completed, but judging by their expressions, they must have been so surprised that their faces were filled with smiles for a moment.

In the tent, Galen ignored Amor, Gandalf and Aragorn who were still in the tent. He closed his eyes and connected to the Heart of Origin.

In Minas Tirith, within the second ring area, the military and mage districts have completed the construction of the Secret Temple, workshops and Griffin's Nest, and have begun training combat units.

The units trained in the Arcana Temple include wizards, priests and spellbreakers. The workshop can currently train aircraft and mortar teams. Siege tanks require a level-three base to unlock, and the Griffin's Nest can only train one type of unit: Dragonhawk Knight, and the Griffin Knight also requires a level-three castle to unlock.

In general, Garin has now built all the buildings, and the three ace units of the human base, knights, siege tanks and griffin knights, all require Garin to upgrade the third-level castle to unlock training.
