Chapter 477 Lonely Expedition
Chapter 477: Lonely Expedition
After Roland and Kaslo communicated for a long time, Roland waved Kaslo away with a headache. In the end, both of them were right, but Lavian was worried about the safety of the soldiers and wanted to train step by step, while Kaslo They are worried about the course of the war and eager for quick results.
"Alas, it's too difficult to master air power quickly, and there's not enough time to train slowly." Roland shook his head and sighed.
"Actually, I think it is better to rely on the power of our ground troops than to rely on the power of the Sky Knights." Ormsk shook his hand. As an orthodox land war hero, although Ormsk understands the power of the powerful Sky Knights, the sky and the earth have been separated since ancient times. The struggle never stops, and as a member of the land war force, Ormsk stands up for the ground troops without hesitation.
"..." Roland rolled his eyes at Ormsk. Can air control and land control be the same? Roland cannot lose air supremacy just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem. After all, Roland has been reaping the dividends of air supremacy since he came to this world. However, according to the current situation, this dividend will not last long. Soon Sauron's army of demons will The flying dragons and double-headed flying dragons are about to be released, which is enough to contain the only three dragonriders in the north. As for the war bats, it is more than enough to deal with the remaining dragon eagles and griffons. Once caught in the vast ocean war on the ground, there is no doubt that the current strength of the northern border has no advantage. Sauron can rely on a large number of orcs, Dongyi people and even dark barbarians to consume the already stretched forces of the coalition forces.
"It seems that now we have to either strengthen the scale and proficiency of the Sky Knights or find ways to increase the number of other soldiers!" Roland rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
At this time, Roland missed the powerful size of the Lagrand Kingdom in the Lord of the Rings game. The empire with a complete system could quickly recruit a group of the same number of armies even after thousands of professionals were killed, but obviously now The Kingdom of Lagrand does not have these things, there is no professional temple to awaken professionals, and there is no mentor to teach professionals skills and combat techniques. Even though Roland has a population of 20,000 under his command, the only thing he can do is recruit some rapids. Infantry.
(Although there are Knight Temple and Archer Temple, only the Knight Temple can really be used. Even if you awaken your fighting spirit, you may not be able to truly change your profession and become a trainee knight...)
"Alas!" Roland looked at the population file and found that there are still a lot of people of suitable age. However, generally only people aged 12-18 can awaken fighting spirit or magic power and become professionals, and there are not many people in this part of the kingdom at present. What hurts Roland the most is that there are hundreds of people of the right age who have awakened their fighting spirit and have nothing to do but become ordinary farmers or citizens after failing to switch to the knight profession!
"Damn it! Even if I have a Warrior Temple and a Warrior Mentor, the situation will be different... It's no problem to have at least a few hundred more Lagrand City guards..." Roland looked at the file and felt like crying.
Compared to King Roland who is worrying about his future life, Apophis Breo here is much more realistic. He is currently leading his friends to try to cross the territory of the Woodland Kingdom, but the warriors on foot are seriously worried. Compared to the only 16 King's Landing knights, the speed of the warriors was comparable to that of a turtle, especially in a forest like late winter where the snow has just begun to melt but has not yet completely melted. , the feeling of one deep kick and one shallow kick is almost going to make all the infantry scold them.
"Let everyone take a rest. Let everyone find a clean and dry place and don't go too far!" Apophis Breo called the only great knight under his command and patted his shoulder armor and said to him.
"Don't call him Your Highness. You can call him Your Excellency or His Excellency the Grand Duke... It's a bit unworthy of the name to call His Highness now." Apophis Breo shook his head and corrected Olaf's title. Although the Grand Duke was qualified to be called His Highness, Apophis Breo himself knows his own weight, and now he feels embarrassed when others call him His Highness. After all, Roland can be called His Highness, Bard can also be called His Highness, and so can he... so can he! From this point of view, Your Highness’s thing is not very valuable!
"My lord!" The knight turned his horse's head back to convey Apophis Breo's order.
To use Apophis Breo's original words, if ten men dare to chase down the orcs and defeat the orcs, if I give him a hundred men, are they going to fight Gambada? If he was given a thousand men and horses, would he dare to walk outside the gates of Mordor?
"Hehehe, Your Highness is joking!" Olaf smiled shyly.
"I understand! We are alone, and we have no reinforcements for this expedition, but I can't afford to wait, and neither can you! Spring is coming!" Apophis Breo looked at the thick snow on the treetops with a low voice. road.
"I will succeed!" Apophis Breo clenched his fists fiercely, and his mind was filled with images of Roland regaining his status as the Grand Duke of King's Landing. Although this Grand Duke's title is currently just a blank check, how big a platform can it spread. He needs to fight for it himself, but at least he's off to a good start, right?
"Your Highness, we can't hurry like this!" Lord Olaf came over and said.
"Huh?" Apophis Breo glanced at it, oh! It turned out to be the boy who got lucky. Although he was just an ordinary person, Apophis Breo didn't hesitate to get the title of Lord in the end. He directly made this boy a hereditary Lord, which was regarded as a reward for the efforts of his subordinates. goals and hope of struggle.
"What? Why don't you go and have five people attack in three directions to outflank him?" Apophis Breo teased his captain. Although Apophis Breo gave Olaf a knighthood, he did not promote his position. , after all, who dares to let a stupid young man who hunts down an army of orcs with ten people lead more people?
"Why don't you order more Shire horses?" Olaf pointed to the twenty or so Shire horses in the team that were only pulling sledges.
"It's not my fault, sir, we can't rush like this!" Olaf said quietly.
"You want more? Can I really afford it?" Apophis Breo's eyes widened. The amount of fodder consumed by these shire horses, their knights and their own horses is already astronomical! Apophis Breo can now finally understand how Roland feels dominated by the astronomical consumption of materials all day long. Just these dozens of horses are enough to make Apophis Breo feel stressed, and there are even two behind him. The sledge was specially used for horse-drawn fodder, and in order to prevent accidents, Apophis Breo also used a ten-cubic-meter space ring filled with hay and coarse grains to carry with him.
"That's right!" Olaf scratched his head naively. He was not in his position and did not seek to do his job. Of course, he did not understand how terrible the consumption of war horses was.
"Hurry up and rest. This is an area controlled by elves! We are still safe. When we come out of the border of the Woodland Kingdom, we will not have such a relaxing chance to rest." Apophis Breo patted Olaf.
