Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 393 Our Army is Mighty
This group of sea warriors who surrendered to Gaoya Castle was a formal 1,000-man guard regiment, with a total of 1,028 people, including 1,000 Gabling Magic Shark Rider guards who were proficient in martial arts and ten Killer Whale Warrior Centurion officers.

As an organized guard regiment, it is also thoughtfully equipped with eighteen mermaid warlocks who are proficient in water elemental magic. Although these guys are all low-level warlocks, they have greatly made up for the lack of spellcasting units in High Cliff Castle.

The common people of Semporna did not come along in the end. Only Van Gogh left his hometown with 500 guards loyal to Tiffany, including the Magic Shark Knights and Swordfish Warriors, and the Clam Butler.

Putting aside the two officers Hyde and Van Gogh, there are a total of 1,528 sea clan warriors. This number is already a huge fortune for Gaoya Castle, so that Gaoya Castle does not have to worry about the lack of naval combat power in the future.

And the Bear tribe of Volebear, which is capable of collective beast transformation, has 500 combat-capable soldiers.

This time, in addition to abducting more than 2,000 powerful warriors, they also enslaved a black dragon.

This made the lord both happy and worried. With the addition of new combat forces, Gaoya Castle became more and more powerful, but it also meant that a group of big-bellied men who could eat a cow had arrived, making the pressure on logistics unprecedentedly great.

Especially Cersini's appetite. She has to eat several huge monsters every day, and she has become the biggest eater in High Cliff Castle.

"Sir, has something happened?" With the keenness of a staff member, Leighton had already sensed that something was wrong and had already guessed it in his heart.

The biggest thing in the world right now is undoubtedly the war that is about to break out on the continent. My lord has been lost in thought since he came back, and it is likely related to this matter.

"Gaoya Fort is strong in both men and horses now, so what is there to worry about? Anyway, as long as we don't take the initiative to cause trouble, we don't have to be afraid of trouble." Tang Jin has been obviously enjoying his life in Gaoya Fort recently, and he has become visibly richer.

This turtle elder was a typical person who was content with a small fortune, so the barbarians in Gaoya Castle found it easy to get along with this amiable old man.

"My lord, are you related to the Persian Gulf Empire?" Kemish raised his head and asked.

As a dead man who surrendered to the Lord of Gaoya Castle, he had already made his identity clear. During this period, he gathered all the black slaves from the mines and formed a Mamluk slave army.

Just wait until the war breaks out and stand in front of those damn Persian Gulf Empire nobles, letting them see for themselves whether he is dead or not.

Levi glanced at the leaders below and nodded: "Yes, the fleet of the Persian Gulf Empire attacked the Stechi Port in the eastern border of Debe."

Currently, this news is only known to the great nobles of Debe. Even some of the lesser nobles have not received the news yet. High Cliff Castle is located in a remote wilderness. He flew back directly on a dragon after reading the letter, so the messenger may not arrive for a day or two.

"How dare they take the initiative to attack?" Elder Model had a look of disbelief on his face.

The knowledge of this scholar is impeccable. After letting him handle government affairs, the lord has never worried about them. However, the other party is extremely lacking in military knowledge. This is because everyone has his or her own strengths.

They have reached perfection in the field they are proficient in, but once they step into a field they don't understand, they will reveal a clear stupidity.

"This is not something incredible." The shrewd eyes of the hobgoblin's staff seemed to have seen through everything. "If you are not a fool, you will not wait for the armies of the three countries to gather before fighting head-on."

"The best thing for the Persian Gulf Empire to do is to severely damage Debe before the other two countries react. This will reduce their pressure a lot. Otherwise, if the battlefield is pulled to their own position, fighting on three fronts alone will drag them to death."

"Bingo." The Lord snapped his fingers. "Just as I thought, the best defense is offense. In war, we must take the initiative."

"Then if we delay until the support from the other two countries arrives, won't they be beaten back in disgrace even if they occupy the port of Debe?" Zamanzi obviously only saw the first layer.

"It's not that easy." The lord shook his head. After working in the aristocratic circle for so long, he is no longer a political rookie. He explained the complexity of the situation to the barbarians of High Cliff Castle: "Although our Derby has allied with the other two countries, even brothers will calculate for a little benefit, let alone three major countries."

"Whether it's Taylor or the Sith Nation, when it comes to keeping the balance of victory on their side, they don't mind causing moderate losses to other countries except themselves."

"And they are naturally happy to see Debe's losses. Anyway, when their support will arrive depends entirely on how the battle goes."

Don’t be fooled by the fact that at the meeting, the envoys and representatives of various countries patted their chests and promised not to cause any trouble and work together to deal with the Persian Gulf Empire first. In fact, they had many schemes in their minds. If anyone really believed them, the result would be that they would lose their pants to these old foxes.

In fact, the solution to this problem is quite simple. When facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, the three kingdoms will naturally cooperate with each other.

But the reality is that the three countries all feel that they can easily defeat the Persian Gulf Empire, so naturally they are willing to play some tricks.

"Damn Taylor and the Sith Kingdom." Zat didn't understand this subtle political explanation at all, but that didn't stop him from pretending to understand.

Levi ignored him and continued, "Now His Majesty Harland has summoned nobles of all sizes to lead their troops to the main city of the East Territory to join forces. He is preparing to defeat the fleet of the Persian Gulf Empire in one fell swoop, and then send troops from the port to another continent."

"I will gather my troops and go there in three days. We have to go to this war not only because of His Majesty Haland's call, but also because we are the parties involved in this war."

"Our goal is not only to get rid of these Persians who are seeking their own death, but also to save that suffering land and rescue them from the atrocities of the tyrant Fern IX!"

"Of course, the main purpose is that these guys are trying to destroy the peaceful and happy development of Gaoyabao and destroy our harbor! Our home! This is something I cannot tolerate. Anyone who tries to hinder Gaoyabao from moving forward will only end up being crushed into meat paste by the wheels!"

The lord did not ask these guys whether they were afraid of a war between several major powers. It can be said that the warriors of Gaoyabao, who are driven by the system, are the most belligerent in the world, except for those legions of absolutely fanatical believers.

So just get straight to the point.

No matter what kind of war it is, there must be a reason and a purpose, which can make the soldiers understand why they are fighting.

"Fuck the handlebars!"

The furious sound was like a storm on the sea, almost overturning the dome of the cafeteria.

It was not easy for the people of High Cliff Castle to go from living in the wilderness to a rich life without worrying about food, clothing and safety. Anyone who tried to interfere with their beautiful life would end up being chopped in half by their swords, spears and halberds.

"What an unparalleled cohesion." Elder Model was amazed. He vaguely saw something in this army that other armies did not have.

This thing is as terrifying as the fanatical belief of the Holy Knights of the Holy Light Church, but it is something it has never seen before.

Having lived for so long, it was inevitable that its blood boiled at this grand scene. It cleared its throat and said, "My lord, I have a suggestion."

"Elder Tang Jin, you say." The lord nodded.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the turtle man again.

"Gaoyabao is no longer the makeshift team it once was. With so many different legions, it is no longer appropriate to continue calling them all the Burning Legion and using Gaoyabao's own flag." Gaoyabao's Minister of Internal Affairs smiled slightly and said, "How about giving each subordinate legion a suitable title and making a flag that symbolizes its legion?"

"Like Debe's Storm's Fury, Griffin's Claw."

"What the elder said makes sense." Leighton agreed with the turtle elder's statement: "The name and flag are the face and symbol of the legion. They are very helpful in building morale and honor. The soldiers of those famous powerful armies in history regard their names and flags as their lives."

"That makes sense." After hearing this, the Lord also began to think, but considering that High Cliff Castle was not a one-man show, he looked down and asked, "What do you think?"

"need!"

The warriors' uniform voices proved their eager need.

"Okay, then the titles of your respective teams should be discussed by your own officers and soldiers, and then recommended to me." The lord smiled slightly and decided to occasionally demonstrate the democracy of High Cliff Castle.

Time passed quickly and each team came up with a name.

"Scream Hellroar!" Zamanzi was the first to raise his hand. Every time an orc fights, they must roar to intimidate the enemy, and Hellroar demonstrates the orcs' unparalleled confidence.

"Call us the Werewolf Destroyer." The name proposed by Hogg, a Werewolf, is very down-to-earth.

"Bloody hooves chasing the wind." Gus's words were concise and to the point, pointing out the characteristics of the horses and highlighting their speed.

"They are all pretty good." The lord took a sip of hot tea slowly, and before the leaders could get excited, he continued, "Why not call them the War Trampling Squadron, the Black Slave Squadron, the East Wind Archer Griffin Regiment..."

Everyone's eyes went dark and they all started crying. It was true that they only had the right to make suggestions!

……

As June approached, the impact of the port war that broke out in the east had gradually spread to the whole of Derby. The most obvious manifestation was that the prices of both food and weapons had risen to an unprecedented high.

The price of slave warriors remained high, but the price of female slaves continued to drop, even to the point where a beautiful slave could be bought for a dozen silver coins.

Because for shrewd slave traders, war means the creation of more slaves. If they don't sell their goods now, when a large number of slaves flood into the market, supply will exceed demand, and they will end up with a waste of goods.

On a cloudless morning one day in Gaoyabao, when the first ray of sunlight illuminated the Dragon's Nest with golden splendor, there was a slight movement at the military station, and then it returned to calm.

Generally speaking, there is a huge difference between the soldiers of small nobles and the regular army of big nobles in terms of equipment, discipline, or number, and the overall combat effectiveness is more than one level lower.

They were often called up to fight together, but only as vassal corps or reserve corps of the great noble legions.

I still remember that this was the case when there were only two or three kittens in Highcliff Castle. They were incorporated into the Legion of Thorns and became a non-staff team. Although they did have independence in name, it could not change their nature as vassals.

But times have changed!
The Burning Legion now has three wings, three squadrons, and three regiments, with a total of 11,028 soldiers.

The War Trampling Squadron, led by Gus, consists of 800 heavy cavalrymen. This squadron is the sharp knife of High Cliff Castle! It is the sharp blade of High Cliff Castle! It can tear apart all enemies in front of it for the Lord. They have proved this with their own strength.

The Blood-Boiling Beast Squadron, led by Zat, consists of 300 veteran orcs. The name of this squadron alone shows the high hopes that the lord has placed on it - he intends to turn all the orcs in this squadron into berserkers. Once they become berserkers, their blood will boil! They will be invincible!
This regiment also has a meaningful name - the Veterans Regiment, which shows that it has an unforgettable story with the lord.

The Death Scout Squadron, led by Captain Hogg, consists of 500 experienced Gnoll scouts who have been personally taught by the Lord. Their scimitars have cut countless enemy necks without anyone noticing, and brought countless pieces of information to Highcliff Castle.

The East Wind Archer Griffin Regiment, led by Sikai, was formerly the Fed Archers. There is no need to elaborate on the excellence of their archery skills. Now that they are riding griffins and equipped with magic crystal arrows, they are even more powerful. They once defeated a hundred-man team of heroic Magic Shark Knights with 500 men on the Gem Sea with an inferior force of 30 men.

The black slave squadron, led by Captain Kemish, was an enemy that was easily defeated by the unrivaled warriors of High Cliff Castle. Because of a certain lord, these captives were reorganized into a regiment, but the soldiers of other regiments looked down on these slaves from the bottom of their hearts.

Because everyone was skeptical about whether a group of wolves with their teeth knocked out could still bite people.

Only Captain Kemish and this group of Unsullied warriors were determined to do their best. Even if the wolf had no teeth, would it still have claws?

The thousand-man Pushe Corps is temporarily led by Leiden. This is a new archer corps composed of 1,200 people selected from the old people after the Feder Archer Corps was disbanded. Its current strength is still a long way from the former Feder Archers.
