However, Nalant had started preparing for this autumn war early. Now he only needed to arrange the territory and load the war supplies into the truck, and then he could leave and head towards Tulip City.
In this way, the total fifteen days of assembly time is still sufficient.
However, in order to cope with his first principality war after time travel, Nalant decided that he still needed to patch the team before setting off, which was to conduct a mixed actual combat exercise.
The location of the actual combat exercise, Nalant, was planned to be on the beach, because there happened to be enemies there.
Last time, the Tulip Knights strangled the fish-man sea monster under the order of the Earl.
But after all, there are many fish-men and sea monsters, and many fish-men and sea monsters still escaped into the sea at the last moment and became fish that slipped through the net.
Now more than a month has passed, and these fish that slipped through the net have reappeared. Six to seven hundred murlocs and sea monsters have once again occupied the several hundred meters of beach at the northernmost point of the Storm Territory.
These fish-men and sea monsters are not very strong, but they are quite fearless in the face of the enemy's initial attacks. They are an excellent whetstone for training soldiers.
However, before this actual combat exercise, Nalant still needs to reorganize his team.
Because now Vivian's archer team and Quirk's swordsman team have begun to practice fighting spirit, these twenty-five people will become a whole in the future, that is, the Storm Cavalry Regiment.
The reason why Nalant arranged it like this is because after a month of Catherine's teaching, all the guards under Nalant, except for a few lucky girls and the guards recruited later, whether they are barbarians or quakes, are also Or ten longbowmen, now masters of swordsmanship.
It can be said that the ten longbowmen who were only good at long-range attacks in the past have now become elite soldiers capable of both near and far.
Therefore, if they join the Storm Troopers, they will not have the disadvantage of only knowing how to attack from a distance but not being able to fight in close combat. In fact, they will be better than the original swordsman team in terms of force.
Of course, the position of captain of this Storm Trooper Regiment is still reserved for Quick.
In addition to his loyalty, Quick is also a veteran on the battlefield, and Narant can only feel at ease by handing over the Knights of the Storm to him.
As for Quick not being a marksman, it won't matter when Vivian awakens her intermediate talent in the future.
This is also Nalant's new idea after figuring out this little bug in the system.
Because if you want to give Vivian and Catherine positions such as captain, chief instructor, commander, etc., you can just rely on Nalant's words, and the system just accepts Nalant's empty promise.
After Vivian resigned from the position of facing the long archer team, Nalant had another important task entrusted to her.
That is the long-range firepower team that has just been formed, uh... that is, the trebuchet and ballista team.
From now on, the team will be managed by Vivian, with her as the captain.
…
After reorganizing the team, on the first day before departure, Narant started this 'actual combat exercise of the entire army and all arms'.
"Your Majesty, there are ten members of the personal guard team, and everyone is here!"
"Your Majesty, there are a total of twenty-five members of the Storm Cavalry Regiment. All personnel are here!"
"Sir, thirty barbarian guards have arrived!"
"Sir, the long-range fire team has a total of fifty people. All personnel are here!"
"Sir, the battlefield rescue team consists of twenty people. Everyone is here!"
In the early morning, on the beach by the sea, except for the twenty barbarian guards responsible for garrisoning the castle, all the fighting forces in Nalant's hands gathered here.
At this moment, there were a total of one hundred and thirty-five people on the beach, and everyone, including twenty medical girls, stood straight and reported to Nalant!
"Very good! Tomorrow we will go to Tulip City to complete this year's recruitment order! And I believe that this autumn recruitment order does not need me to say more, you also know what it means!"
"Such a nationwide campaign is completely different from the few small battles we have had in the past! By then there will not only be the enemy's king's legion, but also the legion of the great nobles!"
"Although with the strength of our Storm Territory, Lord Earl will not let us directly face the enemy's elite!"
"However, the military situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee that we will not encounter the armies of these great nobles!"
"So, if we want to survive this war and survive with honor, we must increase our combat effectiveness as much as possible!"
"Although our enemies today are only a few hundred fish-men and sea monsters, I hope you can take them seriously, because on the battlefield, the enemy will not give you any chance to come back!"
"Now tell me, do you understand?"
"I understand, sir!"
"Great! Let's get started!"
"Yes, my lord! For glory! Fight to the death for your lord!"
"For glory! Fight to the death for your Excellency!"
Suddenly, there were shouts on the beach all day long.
For low-level civilians or serfs like them, war, although dangerous, also represents opportunities.
Not to mention the earth-splitting title, as long as you get meritorious service and survive, the monetary reward is absolutely tempting.
Following the shouts here, the fish-man and sea monsters more than 300 meters away also noticed their group, and began to make a commotion. Then they slowly began to gather, and then approached Nalant and the others.
"Vivian! Five rounds of shotguns!" Nalant no longer delayed, riding on the back of the white dragon, he gave the order directly to Vivian.
These five rounds of shotguns mean that each trebuchet is loaded with five stone bullets.
In addition to being used during sieges, catapults can also be used in close combat.
However, in the case of hand-to-hand combat, there are many enemies to face, so the bigger the catapult projectiles are, the better. Instead, they need to be in sufficient quantity, so that they can kill as many enemies as possible.
Therefore, Narant equipped his catapult with two specifications of stone projectiles. One was a basketball-sized projectile like last time, and the other was a fist-sized projectile.
Of course, don't underestimate the fist-sized projectiles. If the projectile is thrown by the projectile, it is impossible to say whether the body will be intact.
"Yes, sir!" Vivian saluted immediately after receiving the order, and then looked at the five catapults at the rear of the team.
"All catapults listen to the order. Your Majesty has the order. Five rounds of shotguns. Load them immediately!"
"Five rounds of ammunition, load immediately!"
As Vivian conveyed the order, the guards responsible for operating the catapult quickly moved and pulled the winch to start loading ammunition.
Narant's staffing for the ballista and catapult was five people per vehicle.
Although these new recruits had only joined the Guards not long ago, the operation of the catapult was very simple. It only took more than ten seconds for each team of five to complete the loading of the stone bombs.
"Launch!" Vivian gave the order directly after the catapult was loaded.
Boom, boom, boom!
As the five catapults suddenly shook, dozens of fist-sized stone projectiles were thrown out, drawing a parabola in the air and hitting the fish-man sea monster in the distance.
Bang bang bang!
Hugahuga!
The next moment, a total of twenty-five stone bullets fell into the group of fish-men and sea monsters at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Because of the large number of fish-men and sea monsters, more than ten fish-men and sea monsters were immediately hit on the spot, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.
As for the remaining stone bullets that did not hit the enemy immediately, they bounced on the beach and then flew up again, hitting the monster group behind them.
