Original Vampire

Chapter 84

Outside Ice Rock City, horseshoes rumbling.

The bowstrings kept ringing, accompanied by the scolding and scolding of the officers.

"Posture, posture! Don't just aim, keep your posture on the horse!"

"Tom! I'm talking about you, damn it! Your waist is broken Is it?"

"And you, Jerry..."

...

"It looks good, it looks a little bit." Colin is far away Watching the scene where the first batch of cavalry under his men are training for shooting and shooting, I feel very happy.

"It's just a shelf, they're still far behind." Knight Charl on the side was obviously still unsatisfied.

Colin haha smiled: "After all, they are recruits. You can't use Black Cavalry's standards to demand them now. I'm very satisfied with it in just one month. You guys did a good job!"

"You overwhelmed! This is mainly due to your strong support."

These words of Knight Charl are not entirely flattery.

Colin's support for this cavalry is indeed unreserved, asking people for people, money for money, and equipment for equipment.

The huge sum of money just loaned out was spent like running water, as if there was no concept of saving at all.

steward Emon was frightened and tried to persuade him from time to time.

But Colin still goes his own way.

In his opinion, only the money spent can truly generate value.

And, as a well-known entrepreneur said--

The money is not really spent, but to stay with you in a different way.

Colin once snort disdainfully to this sentence, but now, looking at the cavalry passing by in front of him, he deeply agrees.

"Is there a problem with the source of troops? I see that you have only recruited more than 300 people now." After Colin received a huge loan, he increased the size of the cavalry originally set from 100 to One thousand people.

"Master Viscount, the first batch of recruits should not be too many. The training effect will be greatly reduced when there are too many people."

"Well, you just have to know it."

Colin didn't interfere too much with Knight Charl's training. He knew that professional matters should be done by professional people.

He really knows nothing about cavalry training.

But Knight Charl from Black Cavalry is an expert in this area.

"Knight Lego told me a few days ago that you robbed him of a lot of high-quality recruits?"

Knight Charl just wanted to explain, he saw Colin wave his hand. Continue:

"Don’t be nervous, I’m not asking you. I’ve made it clear at the beginning that the cavalry has priority in recruiting new recruits. I’m just wondering why you don’t pick the veterans under Lego. Instead, I went to grab recruits from him."

"Viscount Lord, although Knight Lego’s soldiers are indeed very good, strong and well-trained, they are infantry after all and are used to fighting on foot. Many tactical moves have already taken shape, and it’s not particularly suitable to be a cavalry."

"What about recruits? What kind of recruits are worth letting you and Lego grab?"

"The prisoner who escaped from the ice field?"

"The prisoner?"

"Yes, it was the one captured when Troll invaded the northern border a few months ago Consignment of prisoners. Later when Marquis Garcia led his army to catch up with the army of Troll, this group of more than 50,000 prisoners were abandoned on the ice by Troll. During this period, many prisoners have successfully returned alive. "

Colin just came to a sudden, and understood why these escaped prisoners would be robbed by Lego and Charl at the same time.

Because these people are the true warriors who have been left through harsh screening!

First of all, the first round screening is done by troll.

When they take captives, they will definitely not choose the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, but the young and strong, so that they can be used as labor when they are taken back.

The second round screening started when these prisoners were abandoned by the troll army on the ice sheet.

This is a more brutal and rigorous round of screening.

This requires not only a strong body, but also a certain amount of wisdom and courage to survive the severe cold and hunger.

After all, when troll abandons them, he will not leave them rations.

So, the only way these captives can get food is through hunting.

But there are not many wild animals on the ice sheet. If these 50,000 people gather together, then even if all the animals in the area Above the Heavens and Under the Earth are captured, it will not be enough. So many people stuff their teeth.

So, smart people must make a choice at this time.

It seems safe to follow the large forces, but in fact it is just waiting for death that's all.

Only by forming a small group and staying away from the big army, can you get enough food to fill your stomach through hunting.

In fact, from the perspective of the captive teams arriving in Ice Rock City these days, they are indeed a small team of less than a hundred people.

If there are more people, I am afraid they would have starved to death on the ice.

If there are fewer people, they will be in danger when they encounter ferocious wild beasts.

So these captives who successfully escaped from the ice sheet naturally became the sweet pastry in the eyes of Charl and Lego.

Especially the core people in each small team are the seeds of elite soldiers with excellent decision-making ability and excellent organizational ability.

So, when Knight Charl relied on the priority enlistment rights Colin had promised him to draw these people into the cavalry team, Knight Lego would inevitably complain to Colin.

No way, this big man Knight is too greedy.

But no matter how greedy he is, Colin will not change his established strategy.

The cavalry has always been the arm of his determination to give priority to development.

In this era of cold weapons, the deterrence of a powerful cavalry is too terrifying.

Especially in places where there are many plain terrains such as the Northern Territory and the Sky Ice Field.

Unless the infantry can hide in the city, otherwise, the cavalry will always be the Sovereign of the battlefield.

...

After patrolling the cavalry training, Colin also ran to the infantry training ground to take a look.

With a huge loan, Colin increased the size of the infantry from the original 1,000 to 3,000.

Currently, this establishment has not been fully recruited, probably only about half.

According to the Morburn brother's estimation, it should be full in one month, and then practice for about three months to have initial battle strength.

Although it is not an elite, but it can also be on the battlefield.

After a few more battles of baptism, the one who survived is the elite.

The speed of infantry formation is so fast, in contrast, the cavalry is too slow.

According to Charl's estimation, it will take a year at the earliest for the cavalry to reach the point of being barely on the battlefield.

This is thanks to Charl's outstanding instructors from Black Cavalry. If Colin were to do it, it is estimated that three or five years of work might not be possible.

When inspecting the infantry, Colin also saw a depressed Knight Lego.

This big man, Knight, has been a bit grumpy lately, and whenever he has time, he takes the recruits to the forest on the outskirts of the city for training.

Of course, Colin knows that this guy is using the name of training to let these recruits help him search for his mysterious Knight who has ever sneaked on him.

However, Knight Lego is destined to have no revenge.

Cynthia, the blood slave, is usually hidden by Colin in the basement of the Red Fort.

After borrowing blood from Knight Lego twice, Colin has also been successfully promoted to the third rank.

At such a speed, if outsiders know about it, I'm afraid I will call Colin a genius.

After inspecting the infantry training, Colin returned to the Red Fort.

Drank a glass of deer blood wine, and took another nap.

Colin's life as an arm-flinging shopkeeper is very moist.

However, his leisure time was quickly interrupted.

I saw Steward Emon hurriedly found and reported:

"Master, there is a troll team on the ice sheet."

"troll?" Colin suddenly My heart tightened, "How many people are they here?"

"There are only a hundred people who claim to be envoys to Winter City, passing through Ice Rock City, and want to see you."
