Chapter 227: The Influence of the Elves Part 1-Chapter 228: The Influence of the Elves Part 2
After half a month of running-in training, under the order of the Lord Donald, the Dalaran Saint Shield Infantry Corps was preparing to conduct an open training in front of all the people today. They also sent a letter of invitation to the nobles of the North County in advance, asking them to come and watch the battle.
The 300-man Si soldiers are not very strong in terms of nobles above the baron. However, due to the face of Donald, the powerful lord who is now famous throughout the kingdom and has even been famous on the mainland, basically all those who receive the invitation have arrived have arrived. There are even many nobles from other places and capital who have heard the news and are uninvited.
Dalaran received all the guests from all sides. Augusta is now mainly busy with trading with Port Layton, and the commercial affairs in the territory are temporarily managed by Catherine, so Donald asked Jesse and Catherine, two nobles who had the status of nobles to be responsible for the reception affairs of the nobles who came to the meeting. After all, there were many NV family members among the guests, and it was much more convenient to have NV counts in it.
Donald now has two barons and one knight's fief. Although the knight's lord has been enfeoffed, it is still nominally a vassal of the Meliner family, so the number of si troops can also be added.
The barons of the Si army who can train up to one hundred people are the three hunchs of the knights. If you include the auxiliary troops that cheated, it is no problem for a baron to get thousands of soldiers.
After all, the baron's land is at least one town or several villages, with a population of thousands, so it is still okay to get a thousand soldiers.
So even if he didn't cheat, he had 700 si soldiers available. Now there are only 300 people, so no wonder the nobles looked down upon them. But Donald knew that these 300 people were not comparable to the one thousand of the nobles in other places.
Including Donald himself, there are hereditary aristocrats with more than three barons in the North County.
The other two are Viscount Macbeth and Baron Red Maple. North County can be said to be the area with the fewest aristocrats except for the six southern towns.
Even the Marquis of Ansel, who were all loyal to a noble family, had many fiefs of retainers near the central part.
After all, it is because North County is the latest land developed by Selt and the sparse population.
After hundreds of years of development, the Northland is no longer as unsuitable as before. Over the years, the population of Celtic has increased year by year, from more than 200,000 decades ago to more than 300,000 now. This is still the official statistics of the Kingdom. In fact, there are still many people not included in the statistics. Together, it is estimated that it can exceed 450,000, which is the highest number of population in the Northland in history.
The North County, the largest county in the Selt region, has a population of less than 50,000, which is mostly undeveloped wilderness forests.
However, now a Donald appeared in the North County, which made the remote areas that few people originally cared about were popular in the huge kingdom. Every time they went to a place, they could hear people mention the deeds of Dalaran and her lord.
The purpose of Donald's public training was to create the reputation of the Saint Shield Infantry Legion and to eliminate people's impression of the weak and lack of military power among the middle and lower classes of Dalaran.
When the Saint Shield Infantry Legion was established, Donald was not favored by one or the other, and also arranged employment for all the Jing Ling tribes of the Druid tribe, which was considered as his previous promise.
Because people in the territory have frequently entered and exited the moonlight forest in the past few days, curious adventurers have come to snoop. Donald believes that paper cannot contain the fire, and the existence of the spirit will sooner or later be violent, so he simply does not order the news to block the news and directly reveal the existence of the spirits through the mouths of the adventurers.
Anyway, I also have the bloodline of the high-level spirit, and even the god of the jing spirit moonlight and the night nv. I guess the two existing spirit forces, the King of Jing Ling and the King of Forest, should not have any objections.
Except for a few young spirits, the Druids tribe all succeeded in changing their jobs in the holy land.
What surprised Donald was that, except for some of the archers and nv hunters, most of the jing spirits of these druid tribes have obtained three natural fields: claw druids, raptor druids and tree demons.
Among them, the sharp-claw druids have the largest number. Including the wild xìng druids who have already mastered transformation skills, there are more than 30. In addition to transforming into giant bears, many of them have also awakened the ability to transform into wild wolf and other animals. In addition, the druid's unique chunk return (rejuvenation) skill allows these beasts on the battlefield to have the ability to heal.
Eighteen jing spirits of the Raptor Druid are the best scouts and good field control players. Whether they transform into Storm Crows, their jing spirit fires that can weaken the enemy's defense and their ability to call for small hurricanes, in addition to transforming into Crows, Raptor Druids can actually be classified as one of the three major factions of the ancient druids that represent natural rage.
The majority of them are more than a dozen jing spirits who are in the tree demon profession. They were originally natural mages and now they have the talent and ability of professions such as bow and arrow throwing. Donald thinks that the tree demon is a race and is not suitable for these jing spirit professions, so he named them Linyuzhe, guarding the forest environment, and being good at communicating with natural plants is just right for this name.
At this point, the first batch of jingling spirit armed forces, the druid corps and the ranger camp were officially established. The druid corps are three parts, wild druid, natural druid and storm druid: the jingling spirit archers and jingling spirit hunters, as well as the forest speakers, the horned eagle knights. There is also an extra-staff mountain giant.
Donald had to sigh that the talent of the jing spirit is that it is stronger than ordinary humans. In this jing spirit tribe, less than a hundred people have even left children, all of them have become professionals! Unfortunately, the weakness is that the number is too small, but Donald cannot create a large number of jing spirits. It is easy to explain that a few humans appear out of thin air. After all, Dalaran is famous now, but if a group of jing spirits appear out of thin air, then if others don’t say it, the jing spirits of the Druid tribe will definitely doubt it.
When he had time later, he summoned Chimera to tame the spirits. At that time, the territory would be in the third place except the dragon and the griffin.
The atmosphere in the town was extremely hot when the Holy Shield Infantry Legion was openly trained.
The residents of Dalaran were proud and happy that the territory had a systematic force, and were more excited about the news that the Jing Ling Team was likely to appear.
Although Zhong Zhan did not see the appearance of Jing Ling with his own eyes, the news of a Jing Ling tribe in the Dalaran Forest has almost spread throughout the North County through the adventurer's story over the past ten days.
However, because the lord Donald has never given official confirmation, most people from far away think it is a rumor and not many people believe it.
The military training site was on an open space in front of the military camp north of Musée Town. William had already built temporary stands and other facilities by celebrities.
At this time, many nobles who came were waiting in the stands, and a large group of people gathered around them. The number was several times higher than that of Donald's official residents, most of them were civilians nearby who were watching the fun, as well as adventurers from all over the country.
When Donald, the Dalaran Lord Junbu appeared here, the civilians bowed and bowed, especially the local residents, and they were even more respectful and worshipped from the bottom of their hearts.
Many nobles in the stands also stood up to salute. After Donald and others responded, they sat in the central main seat of the stands. The left and right were Baron Red Maple, and the Ferdinand brothers and sisters who arrived in airship two days ago, and the NV swordsman Abel.
Speaking of Ferdinand, we have to talk about his sister Connie Lìa.
The little princess of the Ansel family became famous not long ago in a royal banquet. The original name of Ansel huā was added to the title of sword dancer because she received a gift from Donald to celebrate her becoming a bronze high section. She was happy and performed a sword dance in public, which opened her eyes to the nobles of the royal capital.
After receiving Donald's gift, Miss Ansel thought of the other person, so she rubbed her teacher and her brother to ask her to go to Dalaran.
She hadn't visited Beijun yet when she grew up. The ladies and nobles in the royal capital said that Beijun was a barren and backward place, and the people there were rustic and barbaric.
However, she knew that this statement was just caused by the envy and jealousy of the nobles of the so-called country aristocracy. If the lords of the North County were country aristocracy, then why did no one dare to say that they were rustic buns and country bumpkins?
And this time, it is also said that there is a Jingling Tribe living in the Dalaran territory. After learning the truth from the brother's mouth, Koni Lìa, who had never seen the legendary beautiful Jingling, even clamored to go. Edwina and his son both experienced the Double-legged Dragon Swamp incident with Donald, so they naturally knew the existence of the Jingling Tribe.
As a rising star in the military, Ferdinand's affairs are still very busy. He even took charge of the family's manager with Donald once a month. This time, Donald also sent them an invitation letter, so Ferdinand planned to go and reminisce about the past and complete this time.
As for the nv sword saint Abel, she was purely interested in Donald's novel swordsmanship theory. During the period of separation from Port Layton, she had some experience and prepared to compete with Donald.
Chapter 228: The arrival of Connie Lìa under the influence of the spirit caused a lot of laughter in Donald's mansion.
This young man who looks weak, already possesses the strength and talent of a high-level bronze swordsman at a young age, is no less than his general brother Fedi Yande.
What's even more rare is that this sword dancer is not as noble as other noble ladies. Instead, he treats people kindly. Unlike Catherine's gentleness, Connie's son is like a lark, chirping and curious about many novel things in Dalaran, which makes people feel good about it.
The appearance of the nv sword saint also caused a sensation in Dalaran. The nv sword saint is the most famous among adventurers. For a time, many powerful adventurers asked the nv sword saint for advice, which made a fuss. Donald ordered Clinton, the head of the adventurers guild, to limit only strong men above bronze or adventurers with skilled swordsmanship to ask the nv sword saint for advice, and arranged a venue and sent a guard militia to maintain order.
With these adventurers' advice, I also plan to see the NV Sword Saint in the North County Adventurer's swordsman style, so I don't have much time to find Donald to compete. Donald was also much more happy. He was now a little scared of Abel, an obsessed with NV martial arts.
After Donald sat down, he ordered the Dalaran Saint Shield Infantry Legion to officially start training. The person in charge was Uther, the highest military commander of Dalaran.
The first one to appear was the main force of the Saint Shield Infantry Legion, the Infantry Regiment.
One hundred and sixty infantry soldiers, including the captain, walked out of the barracks and entered the training ground with neat steps.
This is the first time the Holy Shield Infantry Legion opens its face. When they see that each of them is a large hardwood shield with iron inlaid with iron, a long sword on his waist, and a hard armor. This set of equipment is of excellent quality and is probably better than the officers in ordinary legions of the Kingdom!
This extravagant practice made the nobles in the stands and the adventurers underground discuss, while the civilians had no idea, but were shocked by the neatness and strength of Dalaran's army.
"drink……"
"ha……"
One hundred and fifty infantrymen were tidy and uniformly held up their swords under the leadership of the captains of each squad, and then made various formations and combat movements.
Soon the infantry soldiers finished the drill and the next one to play was the long-range main archer.
More than sixty archers were neatly equipped with leather armor and jing priest bows. Three hundred meters opposite them were the straw targets set up by William, each of them was made into human shapes, and a red cloth was pasted in the heart as the bull's eye.
The archers were divided into six teams quickly. The first team went forward and opened their bows towards the human-shaped target, and then spread out and pushed them to the sides without stopping. Leave the strike position for the second team behind, the second team shone out the long arrow and retreated. Next, the third team and the fourth team, in less than a few breaths, all the bows and arrows were released. The speed was so fast that the people present who were fighting military were secretly shocked. Looking at the human-shaped target three hundred meters away, sixty sharp arrows were nailed near the bull's eye, and no one left the target.
This is only possible for outstanding archers who have been trained for at least two or three years. Dalaran has only been established for more than a year. From then on, is there a quick secret technique to recruit these excellent shès?
The archers retreated to the rear of the infantry, and then the hunter team came on the field. They were holding scimitars and carrying small crossbows behind them, with their agile bodies and excellent fast-response troops. They were very suitable soldiers for both scouts and battlefield aid.
Like archers, hunters are wearing light leather armor that is convenient for movement. As the main force of long-range attacks and scouts, they consider the issue of load-bearing, and they do not need too strong defense on the battlefield.
The last one to appear was the Musketeer Guards, who were originally the lords guards in the legion.
The Musket Guard soldiers' outfits are the most outstanding. They are light red robes similar to windbreakers, and tights inside, which set off the tall and extraordinary demeanor of these musketmen. They are the most eye-catching ones wherever they go.
The most excellent archers at this time are generally effective at a distance of only three to five hundred meters. Those individual talented divine hands are not included. The archers of Dalaran were able to maintain accuracy and strong strength at a distance of three hundred meters, which has already amaze everyone.
The result of the Musketeer Guards being grouped together like archers in one round, but all the spectators from nobles to civilians were shocked.
The sound of muskets sounded, and the human-shaped targets that broke and exploded after being hit a hundred meters away, making people truly feel the benefits of this unusual weapon.
Although it has the disadvantage that the process is much shorter than the bow and arrow, its power is enough to intimidate most melee troops. Many territorial nobles have already planned to go back and buy some of these muskets. The merchants are scattered in the blessings of human kingdoms, and many people still know this kind of gadget created by jingjing.
But what they didn't know was that the power of those earth jing muskets was much worse than the dwarf muskets exchanged in the Book of Truth.
The large army's muskets are not as powerful as those of dwarfs.
"Donald, your musket guard is so powerful! You are not interested in selling a batch for me?"
Donald smiled and glanced at Ferdinand.
"Why, your Holy Sword Legion also likes my little musket?"
"Of course not. The Holy Sword Legion is mainly sword-based, but you can add a musket team to the auxiliary soldiers and cooperate with ordinary troops to show good combat effectiveness. If the price is right, it is still very cost-effective!"
After listening to Ferdinand's explanation, Donald nodded and agreed. It was just a batch of muskets, and as long as it was circulated, it would not affect Dalaran's safety.
"It's so lively! Is there any behind Donald?"
When Connie Lìa spoke, Donald and Ferdinand couldn't help but smile bitterly. Such a fierce army training might be just a word of liveliness in the eyes of this lady.
"Don't worry, I'll give you a surprise right away!"
After the cool musket guards retreated, most people thought that the practice was over, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement. Just when they were strange, there was a slight movement in the forest not far away.
With a light sound, dozens of figures were seen walking out of the forest. They were all wearing green or brown robes, with their faces much more handsome and beautiful than ordinary humans. The most surprisingly, these people had a little pointed ears, and someone shouted on the spot in the crowd.
"Jingjun"
Yes, this is the appearance of the jing spirit team that Donald prepared today. There has been no clear statement before that Dalar still exists in the jing spirit tribe, but Donald intends to make a shot in front of everyone. Only in this way can the deepest impression be.
"Everyone, this is the jing spirit tribe living in our Dalaran. They are kind spirits who mainly care about druids who love nature, and are also the Dalaran people protected by my Melinna family. Moreover, the jing spirits like to be quiet, so I hope everyone will not get close to disturb their lives, nor do they have bad intentions, because the strength of the jing spirits is far beyond your imagination! Let's show you the strength of the jing spirits. Elder Ilya, please start!"
After Donald made this statement publicly, the jing spirits began to show off their force under the command of the elders.
The main force of the True Cult regiment walking in front of them, they roared angrily, and with the gathering of natural forces, they turned into giant bears three meters tall, slapped a few times and smashed the wooden stakes that had been prepared in advance.
People not far away felt more intuitive, as if the ground was trembling.
Next is the Storm Druid. The Natural Druid demonstrated the power of small hurricanes and natural spells respectively. Then there are the archers who are placed among humans, the archers who are god-handed and the jing spirit hunters who ride black cats, as well as the forest speakers holding wooden sticks and the horned eagle knights and other warriors from the camp.
The Black Panther and the Horned Eagle Beast were both permanently summoned by Donald to increase the strength of the jing spirits. The powerful and alternative strength of these jing spirits shocked and surprised all humans.
Just these dozens of jing spirits can easily defeat an army led by a baron. If the number of jing spirits reaches a certain level, wouldn’t it be possible to easily destroy many human kingdoms?
However, most people understand that low fertility rates are the biggest weakness of the jing spirits, and the jing spirit has basically been ally with humans for thousands of years, and there is no conflict of interest, so it is unlikely that the jing spirit will attack human territory.
After demonstrating their strength, the jing spirits quickly retreated to the woodland and disappeared. While people were discussing what they saw today, Dalaran's lord Donald sighed in his heart.
Chapter completed!
