When there are more than ten thousand people, they come in all shapes and sizes.
The number of immigrants in Darauma was 15% more than originally estimated, reaching more than 15,000.
Including the more than 2,000 people brought back by General Copperfield, the total population approached 18,000.
Not to mention the various horses, mules, donkeys and cattle, totaling more than 10,000, and more than 1,000 trucks of different specifications.
Gavin and Zalanda are the kind of people who are flexible and adaptable. The main tone they set in previous meetings was not static, but a variety of policies in parallel, such as buying, renting, replacing, or Adjustment, all means are used together.
"Where are you going?" Zalanda, who was in front of the desk, flipping through various documents quickly, asked without raising her head.
Gavin, who was tiptoeing and preparing to sneak away, suddenly stiffened, turned around and showed a flattering smile and said: "I'm going to go outside and take a look. Today is Darren's first day to set up a flag and recruit soldiers. I heard that there is blood." Already..."
"General Copperfield is already there, assisted by the medical team led by Anna and the Goliath Guards led by Carissa. What's there to worry about? They are all a group of passionate warriors who gather together to compete for status. Is there anything more appropriate than a fight? Seeing blood is normal."
Zalanda finished reading the official document in her hand, raised her head and looked at Gavin seriously and said, "That's their battlefield. If you go, not only are you not helping Darren, but you are causing trouble for him. What is a vanguard?" Army? It is the first shield apart from the main army. You can control it remotely, but you cannot directly control it. You must give it the right to respond on its own. General Copperfield saw this advantage in Darren and just now I recommend him to you, you have to change your habit of wanting to get involved in everything, and give this child enough room to grow, so that he can surprise you."
"I know." Gavin coughed dryly and explained, "I might have appeared directly just now, but I was observing invisibly."
Of course, he couldn't tell Zalanda that he just looked at the piles of statistical data, which made his head hurt, and wanted to go out to relax. That would only lead to a lecture.
But Zalanda was not so easy to fool, and snorted coldly: "I think you are tired of reading the written information, so prepare to leave! Sit back and continue to analyze and evaluate the abilities of those knights. They will be you The foundation, your core team, and your middle and high-level human beings in the future are also likely to come from here.
From now on, your management philosophy must undergo a complete change. You can no longer deal directly with the common people at the bottom like you did before. No matter how efficient you are, you are still a human being. You do nothing 24 hours a day. , how many civilians can you meet and how many things can you handle?
People-friendly activities can be held, but most of them are just a show for the people.
Your main task is to understand and control these knight commanders here, so that they can make the best use of their talents and resources. Let them be your eyes, your hands, and your mouth. Use them to see and do what you want. You can do what you want and say what you want. In this way, you can incarnate hundreds, even thousands, and control hundreds of thousands, even millions, or tens of millions of people. "
In recent days, the two have been inseparable, with Zalanda teaching Gai Wen the true way of a lord.
"What Madam taught me is that I was slacking off. Let's continue to evaluate the level of these knight commanders." Gavin sat back at the desk obediently.
He understood all the principles Zalanda said, but some things could not be reversed in a short time.
"This knight named Bude, the way he has done things in the past three days has been too simple and crude. He is an out-and-out reckless man. He is not suitable to stay in the main army as the commander of the civilian brigade, but should be placed in the main army. The vanguard of sidecars charged into battle."
"I think so too. On the contrary, Bob, as his deputy, is cautious and careful. Their team has not been reduced to a pot of gruel. He takes the most credit, so it is better to make him the commander directly and then serve for him." He picked a deputy because he was already familiar with the team."
"Yes, but his professional level is a little lower. When equipping a deputy, you can balance it as appropriate."
"It's not easy to balance. Once the gap is too big, the deputy will not only not be his help, but will easily become his resistance, triggering an internal struggle for power. The possibility of them directly facing the war is very small. Give him a relatively upright person. Just start.”
"It's okay to do this. Just pay more attention and adjust in time. Let's move on to the next one. This Donald's performance is very eye-catching. He needs force and skill, and he handles things very flexibly. He can do it alone. The work of the two people and the deputy knight who works with him has become an out-and-out decoration, which also shows that this person has a strong desire for power and needs further understanding and investigation."
"The desire for power is not entirely a bad thing. It depends on whether you can suppress it and use it for your own use. When we control people, we not only want to use their loyalty, but also their desires."
"You have recently been addicted to using evil people. Be careful of being stabbed in the back."
"The knife in the back can only come from someone who is unprepared, not someone who is alert. You can't deny that these evil villains are indeed very useful sometimes."
"This is a matter of personal philosophy. I won't argue with you today. Let's deal with business first. Let's continue..."
Gavin and the others did not fully adopt Copperfield's suggestion and use the knights he brought to serve as the commanders and deputy commanders of all civilian brigades. Instead, they adopted a compromise approach, selecting one from those knights and one from Darau. Select a more capable person from the local citizens of Ma to work together as a team to form a civilian brigade of 100 people.
This is of course done so that they can better carry out work in Darauma. After all, they have acquaintances who can easily handle things.
This is not absolute. In the end, it depends on the ability they show when they get to the job.
Some are truly worthy of their name. Even without the cooperation of local people who are familiar with the situation, they are still like a duck in water, and they manage the civilians assigned to him obediently.
Some are just in name only. After being in the position for only half a day, they are kicked out and replaced with new ones.
Generally speaking, most of them are the former, and Copperfield, a veteran, still has a very vicious gaze.
Just like Zalanda said, these front-line commanders will be Gavin's new eyes, newbies, and new feet. As long as he controls them well, he will control the entire army and the entire territory.
With the qualified commanders of one brigade and one brigade in place, the frame of the migrating legion is being raised, and it is expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As time goes by, not only are there not as many things as there were at the beginning, but they become easier to control and drive.
Especially with the establishment of the two major legions, the Sidecar Vanguard Corps and the Nott Guards Corps, the civilians became more enthusiastic and cooperative. These two legions can become their guardians and suppressors. , it all depends on their own performance.
No need to say more about the Nott Guards Corps. It was originally planned to have one thousand people. After the expansion, it actually has one thousand two hundred people. Nora is not old, but she is a veteran. Her strength is unparalleled. She has always used her fists directly. She conquered her subordinates, coupled with an extraordinary mount, no one dared to challenge her head-on. Moreover, this violent big woman was a believer of Ms. Strategy, not the Lord of War Tempus. All kinds of military strategies and tactics are also played thiefly.
In addition, she was leading an elite heavy cavalry, all of whom had been with her for more than half a year. It would be much easier to expand based on this.
In comparison, it is more difficult to form a vanguard vanguard army from scratch.
Not only is Darren's strength and reputation difficult to convince the public, but also because chariots such as sidecars are also brand-new war equipment that everyone has come into contact with for the first time.
Since it is called the vanguard vanguard army instead of the light cavalry vanguard army, it must be based on this war tool.
Darren soon showed that the reason why he impressed General Copperfield was that he was unique in his speed of accepting new things and his understanding of tactics.
Not only does he come from the way of war, but he also has his own unique talents. He seems to be born to eat this kind of rice.
He quickly came up with an article about the methods and tactics of forming a side van vanguard army. Although the handwriting was as clumsy as that of an eight or nine-year-old child, the content inside was so insightful that Gavin couldn't help but laugh after reading it. Applauded, Darren not only captured the essence of the use of sidecars, but also deeply understood his intention to form a vanguard army of sidecars.
Compared to the light cavalry that rides quickly on light horses, no matter how fast the sidecar corps is, it cannot go any faster. Even the speed of the heavy cavalry is not comparable.
After all, the sidecar prepared by Gavin is only lighter than the floor-type chariot. In comparison, it is taller than an ordinary heavy truck and requires at least two horses to drive flexibly.
However, as the vanguard of the civilian immigration corps, the sidecar corps is competent enough.
Therefore, the main responsibility of the vanguard vanguard corps is not to advance quickly, but to move steadily and steadily, paving the way before the civilian immigrant corps, setting up camp, burying pots to make rice, and a series of auxiliary arms work.
After encountering the enemy, the main purpose is not to kill the enemy, but to quickly assemble a vehicle formation to hold the enemy back, waiting for the entire civilian immigrant army to press forward, or for the Nott Guards Army to go around the enemy's flank, and then launch an offensive depending on the situation.
All in all, the essence of the sidecar army is defense, not offense.
Darren captured this.
Naturally, Carissa and the Goliaths she led helped him solve the problem of convincing the crowd.
Goliath's racial character is biased towards soldiers. They advocate collective cooperation, friendship and competition, and let the strong lead them.
And they don't have the arrogance of the big race, and they treat everyone who can compete with them fairly.
It is naturally very easy to win the favor of those mercenaries, professional soldiers, and knights.
Carissa's method of dealing with those rebellious mercenaries is essentially the same as Nora's, they both use strong force to subdue them.
But when used, there are small differences.
She prefers team competition to individual competition.
The Goliath battle group led by her fully explained what it means to be invincible in battle on foot.
Don’t say it’s fifty versus fifty.
Even if it was fifty against five hundred, an opponent ten times their own, they were fearless. Regardless of whether they were men or women, they were all laughing and waving their huge fists towards the enemy. Some stood up and directly carried an opponent. After wielding it as a weapon, causing serious injuries to several people, the barbarian was strictly prohibited from using such tricks, and even barbarians were prohibited from going berserk.
This is equivalent to tying one of their hands and feet. Even so, after all the more than 2,000 people brought by Copperfield were off the field, they were the ones who were beaten by the blast.
This is the crushing from racial characteristics and professional level.
They are the core of the entire sidecar army. Whether it is a sidecar or other soldiers, they are their vassals, and many tactics will revolve around them.
After having this awareness, the mercenaries suddenly became much more honest, accepting the adaptations and arrangements peacefully, and practicing new tactics.
In addition, there is another reason that cannot be ignored. Gavin's employer is as generous, generous, and wealthy as General Copperfield promised them along the way. He has enough potential to provide numerous promotions. Ladder, as long as you are good enough, even if you are temporarily buried, it will not take long before you will shine. Everyone is gearing up, preparing to show off their talents on the road of migration and make themselves stand out from the crowd.
The great momentum that Gavin and the others created in Darauma is quite a big deal.
A large amount of manpower and material resources were gathered to select soldiers and form legions.
This is a precursor to a standard military operation.
The warlords and nobles who had territorial handovers with Darauma were all alerted. They mobilized their forces in the direction of Darauma, and countless spy posts were sent out.
Among them, the reaction from Saradas City was the most intense.
A heavy cavalry force of 3,000 men surged forward along the Zhasa Road. In just one day, they arrived at a small village named Nisa and set up camp here.
Compared to Saradas, this place is closer to Darauma. You only need to walk another 25 kilometers along the Zasa Road to reach the city of Darauma.
What a coincidence is that a month ago, the Root of God was less than two kilometers away from here. It broke out of the Mir Forest and rushed towards Darauma.
Because I haven’t had time to deal with it, this horrific trace still exists to this day.
Saradas's heavy cavalry arrived here, and within an hour, another heavy cavalry rumbled from the direction of Darauma.
Although this heavy cavalry is only one-sixth of Saradas's heavy cavalry, its momentum is not small at all. They are all blood-red sealed armors, all red horses, and a red battle flag is fluttering in the wind. There is a knight chess piece.
This is the holy symbol of the Counselor Lady, and it now has a new meaning in Tethyr, the banner of Zalanda, Lord of Dalauma.
The same number of Saradas heavy cavalry came forward and met the Dalauma heavy cavalry in front of the Root of God channel.
Compared with the brightly colored Dalauma heavy cavalry, the Saradas heavy cavalry is obviously much simpler, black with silver, solemn and a bit luxurious. Their flag is a horse face, with an inlay on the forehead. Holding a huge faceted gem.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the symbol of the Omlaran gem. This family regards the war horse and the Omlaran gem as the two foundations of the family.
Two horses galloped out of Darauma's camp.
Yiqi is covered in blood-red armor and wears a golden faceplate. Her fiery red hair is flying in the wind. Her beauty and prowess have reached a perfect balance.
The other rider is the only one with various colors in the Darauma camp. A set of silver armor shines with a dazzling light that makes it difficult to look directly at it. The mount under his crotch is also snow-white, with no mottled colors on the whole body.
Of course they were none other than Zalanda and Gavin.
The same two cavalry galloped out of the Saradas heavy cavalry. Their armor was very similar to other Saradas heavy cavalry, except that it was inlaid with gold rims. The biggest difference was on the helmets, which had a baby's fist-sized ball inlaid in the middle. The multi-faceted gems sparkle with obscure and powerful magic fluctuations. They are obviously not decorations, but have unique magical effects.
"The one on the left is Conrad Saradas, the first heir of the Saradas family. If nothing else happens, he will become the next head of the Saradas family. He currently serves as the first heir of the Saradas family. Commander of the Heavy Cavalry Legion.
The one on the right is his deputy commander, named Matthew. He is the top master of the First Heavy Cavalry Corps and a quasi-legendary warrior.
Their acting style completely follows the Saradas family tradition. Either they don't move, or when they move, they rush out and strike with thunder. "
Zalanda quickly introduced the information about the two people coming to Gavin.
It's a similar situation on the other side.
As soon as the two sides faced each other, Zalanda struck preemptively and said: "Captain Conard, you brought the First Army to our door. What is your intention? Are you bullying us, Darauma?"
Conrad laughed angrily and said: "Lord Zalanda, you are a typical evil person who files a complaint first, and we have to ask you, what do you want to do?"
"We didn't hide from the beginning. We are organizing people to immigrate to the valley. We have set a time and will set off in three days." Zalanda then explained the actions they made in Darauma.
"Immigration?" Conard sneered, "Do immigrants need to form a new legion? Do immigrants need to recruit an army of hobgoblins?"
The Saradas family is worthy of the title of the uncrowned king of eastern Tethyr. Darauma's every move cannot be hidden from their eyes, including the Blood Claw Legion that only stayed here for a few days.
"Whether you believe it or not, this is the fact. We have no intention of provoking a dispute." Zalanda spread his hands with an expression that said if you don't believe it, there is nothing we can do.
But she also understood why the Saradas family had such a big reaction.
There is no danger to defend between the two sides. As long as the troops are assembled, the army will be able to reach the opponent's city within three days.
If it were the other party who made such a big noise, he would also be worried.
This kind of worry cannot be alleviated by just one or two sentences of explanation.
Conrad snorted again, obviously unable to accept this explanation.
The talks between the two sides reached an impasse as soon as they started.
