Chapter 11 Promotion of Military Rank
"The second squadron is the main squadron, with a large number of veterans. The position of deputy squadron leader may be watched by various forces. The deputy squadron leader of the recently formed seventh squadron is relatively easy to handle. Uncle Roland, can you transfer Ron from the second squadron? The three of us brothers will work in the seventh squadron together."
Before being promoted to deputy captain, Roland served as the squadron leader of the second squadron. He has a great influence on this squadron.
However, in the past one or two years, under the management of the new squadron leader, Roland's influence has gradually disintegrated. On the contrary, the sixth and seventh squadrons have transferred many veterans and officers from the second squadron. Roland has many old subordinates, so his influence is greater.
The reason why he plans to transfer Richard to the second squadron is to maintain his influence in the second squadron.
But Richard does not want to go to the second squadron to compete with other forces.
Harland has a close relationship with the Roland family, and Richard is a son that William values very much. He advanced to a professional at the age of sixteen. Even Roland has to consider his opinions and discuss major matters.
Otherwise, the relationship between the two sides will be broken.
Richard served under Roland, and Roland's brother Ryan also served as an officer under William. Both of them were held responsible.
According to Richard's opinion, although Roland's influence in the second squadron continued to weaken, his influence in the seventh squadron was strengthened.
"No need to be so troublesome, Meda has received the transfer order and is ready to go to the Knights. You can be promoted in the sixth squadron, and there are two squads to be formed in the sixth squadron. It will be easier to transfer Ron at that time."
Roland thought for a while and felt that it would be more beneficial for him to promote Richard on the spot.
The captain of the seventh squadron was his old subordinate for many years, and they had a very close relationship. The backbone of the seventh squadron mainly came from his line. There was no need for the three Richard brothers to strengthen control.
On the contrary, the captain of the sixth squadron was the captain's confidant, and only the deputy captain Brown was an old subordinate of his line.
Including Richard, the officers of Roland's line could only control three squads.
If Richard is promoted, Hayden takes over as the squad leader, and then Ron is transferred over. They can turn the tables. With two deputy squad leaders and four squad leaders, they can gain some middle power and bypass the captain and take control of the real power of the squadron.
With Roland's secret operation and Richard's own promotion conditions, the Corps Department soon issued a promotion order, and Richard was successfully promoted to the deputy squad leader of the sixth squadron.
Richard entered the Mad Lion Corps and had already carried twelve minor merits, which was more prominent than most deputy squad leaders. There was no other weakness except his young age.
In the other world where great power belongs to individuals, age and qualifications must give way to power.
As long as the power is strong enough, even a two-year-old legend can be the head of the legion, an earl, or a duke.
From the time Richard was promoted to a professional, he must be promoted to an officer at the level of deputy squad leader.
The only thing that can be done is to transfer Richard to which squadron.
In which squadron is it more suitable for him to develop.
After the promotion, Richard was quickly promoted to a higher rank. He was a man with military merits and had met the conditions for promotion to lieutenant.
Less than a month after joining the Mad Lion Legion, Richard had reached the end of many freemen's lives.
Most freemen's soldiers found it difficult to become professionals and take up positions at the squadron level.
Half of the soldiers died on the battlefield, and the other half spent their lives in the fields. Less than one in a hundred could cross the threshold and become professionals.
A few days later, Ron was also transferred to the Sixth Squadron and served as the captain of the Eighth Squadron.
There were more new recruits in the Eighth Squad, and Ron had only two veterans under his command.
For such a newly formed squad to form combat effectiveness, it would take two to three years of training.
After becoming a professional, Richard was still with the soldiers every day, working hard and madly gaining experience.
A few days later, Richard was training in the barracks, and his uncle Soros and second uncle Powell came to the Flame Castle together. They also brought some supplies with them, which Uncle Soros could personally escort. It seems that these supplies should be very valuable.
"Tarrak has made armor from the scales of the snake-bodied man. This armor is a first-level enchanted armor, much better than the standard armor of the Mad Lion Legion.
The snake-scale armor weighs only 16 kilograms, which is very light and has better defense than the 60-kilogram steel armor.
In addition, this armor can transmit fighting spirit and stack fighting spirit defense. It is very suitable for grassroots officers like you.
After stripping off the armor pieces of four snake-bodied men, there are only three pieces of snake-scale armor. According to our previous agreement, your Harland family can only get one.
William has already told in advance that this armor should be given to Richard. In addition, we also sent three iron-horned horses, two low-level enchanted long swords and an excellent enchanted long bow. The bow and arrows are left to Richard, who has the best archery skills, and the two enchanted long swords are given to Hayden and Ron."
Soros handed the enchanted weapons he brought to the three people, and by the way, delivered the initially tamed iron-horned horses to the three people.
Among the nine iron-horned horses that the Harland family received, only one stallion was of the second order.
The three iron-horned horses sent this time included one second-order stallion and two first-order mares.
William left almost the three best horses in the iron-horned horses to the three sons of the Crazy Lion Legion.
Ron asked with some doubt: "Father, don't you need a Warcraft mount?"
"William's battalion is a heavy infantry battalion and does not need a mount."
Hayden immediately retorted: "We are also an infantry battalion?"
"Silly boy. Time is urgent. We can't stay in Flame Castle for too long. Once the war starts, you must learn to take care of yourself. Goddess of Dawn bless us, may we be together after the war."
Soros patted Hayden's head and turned to leave the barracks.
"Has the war broken out?"
Seeing Soros and Powell preparing to leave, Richard asked loudly.
"Yes, kid. The war has broken out! The Northern Legion and the main force of the orcs have fought three outpost battles. It will soon be unsafe outside Flame Castle."
The soldiers of the Grant Kingdom can bring their own equipment.
The Crazy Lion Legion where Richard is located will only equip soldiers and officers with standard equipment. This standard equipment is ordinary iron armor, long spears, and bows and arrows.
In Richard's squadron, only the squadron headquarters is equipped with three enchanted crossbows.
Enchanted weapons are expensive. Even the Royal Guards cannot equip everyone with enchanted weapons.
To survive the war and make more military exploits, all officers need to bring their own enchanted weapons.
Especially the noble officers, who are armed to the teeth. Not only do they have magical mounts and enchanted armor, but they also have enchanted crossbows and enchanted longswords.
High-ranking nobles even carry magical equipment.
The equipment of the three Richard brothers has exceeded the limit of professional families and is enough to compete with low-ranking nobles.
