Heroes of the Invincible Knight Chapter 523

Golden Dragon Capital, the main hall of the palace.

There was a depressing atmosphere in the splendid hall, and Ren's worries had been fully revealed on his face. Originally, with Ren's bearing, most of the time, he was able to hide his joy and anger, and let the ministers below We always speculate on his mood to maintain the mystery of his superiors.

But the recent series of bad news made him too lazy to maintain his demeanor. The defeat of the Middle Road army to the death of Sol, and the bad news that the golden dragon left and a large number of white dragons assisted the orcs in the battle made Renn ten years old in an instant. Years old, in the face of the orc crisis, other things are not important, after all, the orcs don't care about his kingly bearing, and only talk to him with the battle axe in his hand.

What Ren did during this period of time was to continuously transfuse blood to the Dragon's Breath Pass and use the power of the entire kingdom to increase the strength of the Dragon's Breath Pass. The expectation of the loss of the pass is proved by the continuous training of the local garrison.

"How is the grooming of the garrison in Under Armour City doing?"

Because of Ren's diligent administration, the order of proceedings in the Golden Dragon Kingdom has always been that the ministers are waiting, and Ren will ask questions and discuss first. After Ren has discussed and decided what he thinks is important, the ministers in the hall will come out to supplement. , if there is nothing to discuss, just leave the court.

At this time, Renn's first thing was to ask the question of the garrison. The military system of the Golden Dragon Kingdom roughly divides the entire army into three categories. The Royal Guards of the Royal Capital directly led by Sol are the first in the kingdom. The army, unlike the banned army in most countries, the army guard under the command of Sol, in addition to maintaining a good combat effectiveness, uses the best equipment, and has no deductions for military pay.

The second tier belongs to the regular legions of the kingdom stationed in various parts of the country. These troops are fully paid by the kingdom to provide equipment, and from time to time they have to train to deal with the kingdom's inspections, so most of these troops have a bottom line. Officers may be on empty pay, but when it comes to fighting, they can still pull out the army. Now, half of this part of the army has been pulled up to the battlefield of Dragon's Breath Pass and accepted the baptism of actual combat.

The third type of army is the garrison army in various cities and regions. This part of the army is jointly funded by the kingdom and local officials and nobles. The number accounts for more than half of the national army, but the level of combat effectiveness is a little erratic.

There are also some private soldiers of the nobles. Typical representatives are the former Lanster family, the current Westland Ross family, and the currently flourishing Hunter family, which will not be mentioned for the time being.

In some places, a part of the garrison has been completely reduced to a book soldier. That is, this person was there when the kingdom paid money by person. During the war, this person might disappear out of thin air. There is also a small part that acts as a facade. It's okay to meet the inspection, but it's definitely not possible to fight a war.

There are also a very small number of people who are particularly capable of fighting, which is even more worrying for the Kingdom. In the case that the Kingdom's regular army is full of military virtues, the local garrison has not received much attention. They are all cash cows for local officials. If the garrison in a small town or town is adequately staffed, well-equipped, and well-trained, then there is a high possibility that the church, through its influence, has secretly infiltrated the nobles and officials here, and used the fur of the kingdom garrison to support it. His own army was like when Richard was attacked by the small town garrison when he first entered the capital.

After all, the Golden Dragon Kingdom, no matter how you count it, can be called a vast land, vast territory and vast territory. This kind of land has exceeded the limit of state control in the feudal era. It can maintain the authority of the central government for hundreds of years, and ensure long-term obedience in all regions. The regular army basically The monarchs of the Charman family are already well-mannered by maintaining their fighting power. They cannot demand the king of the Golden Dragon City with the strength of the modern state's control over the region.

Therefore, how bad the local garrison was, the senior officials of the kingdom did not care about it, and could not control it, but now it is different. In a situation where there is a shortage of troops, it is natural to use the garrison army that takes up a lot of the kingdom's military expenses.

This part of the military spending was once the cash cow for local officials and nobles, and it could not be easily moved, but under the compulsion of the general situation, it had to be moved.

And the person responsible for this is Ren's eldest son, the eldest prince Wolf.

At this time, the eldest prince was dressed like a real general. He was standing on the hall in a general uniform. Hearing Ren asked about the garrison, he immediately stood up in the queue and replied to Ren:

"The rectification of the Under Armour City garrison is still in progress, and it will take at least a month to form combat effectiveness."

"Why is it so slow?"

In all honesty, the eldest prince Wolf has the ability, otherwise, Richard would not have put the other party on the same level as Paley, and judged him as being dominant. You know, let Richard be so demanding. It is not easy for people to give such a high evaluation.

But Ren still thinks that the other party's speed is a little slow. After all, from the previous military situation, the situation at the Dragon's Breath Pass is definitely not optimistic. Orcs breaking the pass may be something that can happen at any time, and they don't have enough time.

And An Dema City is a large city on the central plain. It is three or four hundred miles east of the Golden Dragon Capital. It radiates to several small cities around it. There were originally several legions stationed around the regular legion of the kingdom, but it has long been transferred to the city. On the front line of Dragon Breath Pass, only half of the flag regiment remained. If there was an enemy attack, the main task of defending the city had to fall on the garrison regiment.

In the face of Ren's doubts, the eldest prince Wolf had to quickly explain.

"When I took over the garrison of Under Armour, there were only less than 5,000 soldiers in the battalion normally, and the combined army of the surrounding cities was less than 10,000. After excluding the old and the weak, it was less than 5,000 usable. , the remaining gaps are all filled later, and the training time is only one month at this time."

"Hi~"

After the eldest prince Wolf told the specific situation, it really made Ren take a breath. Although Ren is the master, his energy is limited after all, and Ren can't know everything about the kingdom, or say , the greed of the kingdom's local officials and nobles completely broke Ren's understanding.

In addition to the surrounding small towns and towns of Under Armour, the garrison should have numbered 100,000. The kingdom not only paid a full amount of military expenses to regular legions with a number every year, but also paid half-pay to these garrison.

It is said to be half pay, but this half pay is not a small number. The kingdom has always treated the army preferentially. The pay of a soldier directly under the regular legion is enough to barely support his family. There is absolutely no problem with adding one more person, and according to the regulations of the kingdom, the local government should also pay a part of the money to maintain the garrison.

The annual salary of the garrison that the kingdom pays is definitely not a small amount. In Ren, thinking about it, if so much money goes down, it must be heard. He never imagined that there would be 100,000 people with full capacity and well-trained people. A garrison soldier, but no matter what, there must be 20,000 to 30,000 people.

In the final analysis, it was Renn's lack of knowledge about the greed of bureaucrats and nobles. He knew that these people would be greedy, but he didn't expect to be greedy to such an extent that he directly lost the 100,000 army.

Being able to pull out these 5,000 people is still somewhat of a deterrent to the center of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, and it has to be prepared to deal with the kingdom's frequent inspections.

In this way, the eldest prince Wolf, who was responsible for rectifying the garrison, had to suffer. He could only recruit a new batch of young men and pull up the team. Such a large proportion of recruits is equivalent to starting from scratch. , and training has a direct impact on the combat effectiveness of the army. The army that has been trained for the previous month is still in the recruiting stage. It is estimated that various weapons have not yet been used. It is said that it takes another month of training to form combat effectiveness. Wolf is extremely confident. the statement.

"The officials in charge of this..."

"Already executed."

Ren was already angry, but Wolf obviously got things ahead and physically sent away those greedy officials and nobles. The Golden Dragon Kingdom may not be able to use the same method to eliminate all similar officials and nobles in the country, but The power of the royal family allows them to verify batches and deal with batches.

"Um"

Hearing Wolf's answer, Ren just nodded and said no more. Wolf did what he wanted to tell him. It's just that behind the calm, at least thousands of people's heads fell, and many ministers in the hall were tight in their hearts. Ren completely acquiesced and supported Wolf's killing.

"If there is any need, you can ask the local officials to cooperate. If you encounter any obstacles, you can kill it first and then play it, so that the garrison will have the strength to fight as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

"The officials in charge of this..."

"Already executed."

"Um"

Hearing Wolf's answer, Ren just nodded and said no more. Wolf did what he wanted to tell him. It's just that behind this calm, at least thousands of people's heads have fallen, and many ministers in the hall are tight in their hearts. Ren is completely acquiescent and supportive of Wolf's killing.

"Yes!"

Wolf answered briefly and stood back in the queue. At this time, Wolf's speaking and working style became more and more like a military officer. I don't know if it was in the process of rectifying the army, or to mingle with other officers. ...In this way, the eldest prince Wolf, who is in charge of rectifying the garrison, will naturally suffer.
