Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 222 Rhodok Republic
Stannis swallowed, and he remembered the bloody battle in the snowy field again. The dark masses of Chaos people were not afraid of death and pressed against their positions. If it weren't for the wonderful transformation of the Rhodoks, the crossbowmen became melee infantry Closing the gap, they have already been wiped out.Correspondingly, the Erathians, who lost their cavalry, played a very unsightly exchange ratio against the Chaos people when the number of soldiers was far greater than that of the Rhodoks, and Stannis needed to send all the troops to support them. them.

"So that's why I invited you here, please help train my army and plan their formation, so that I can wish you a helping hand in the following battles."

Hansen thought the same way. He took a picture of the thick stack of manuscripts and said to him: "These are sketches that our Rhodoks Legion was groping for when it was established. The information in it can help you. From The positions of the smallest ten-man team are assigned to a legion of thousands of people, and all the information you need is contained in it, and I believe it can help you."

Unexpectedly, the other party would give him this big gift as soon as he came up. Stannis was overjoyed. He quickly brought over the large manuscript and glanced at it greedily. There were not only a lot of detailed texts, but also meticulous drawings, including Weapons, armor, formations, and camping options are all available, truly a military encyclopedia for this era.

"Also, let me take the liberty to ask, how many troops with numbers do you have now?"

Stannis said shyly, and he also reported a few more numbers, "I have a total of 250 people, all of them in the Barca Legion."

"Baka?"

"Thunder's meaning." He took the trouble to explain.

Hansen pondered for a while, and then said earnestly: "I would venture to suggest that you should expand into at least four troops, two for external battles, and the other two for guarding your homeland."

"Why?" Stannis asked curiously. You must know that expanding an army would cost a lot of money. Leaving aside the fact that there are not so many soldiers, the money spent on building a top-to-bottom command and logistics system is what made him A big piece of meat that has been distressed for a long time.

"Because." Hansen gave his answer, "Your place will soon become the front line."

"How can my place be the front line?"

Stannis didn't react for a while when he heard what Hansen said. Although his territory Qiwei Ni was located at the junction of the Erasia Empire and the Ilysis Empire, because it was blocked by the vast black forest, large troops could not pass through at all, so in history The war between Westland and Middle Earth will never break out here.

It can be said that the forest is the green Great Wall that gives them incomparable safety.

"I'm very safe here, how could it become a front line? Large troops can't pass through. Even if someone desperately wants to go from here, they will soon be discovered because of the slow marching speed, and I can also use the banks of the Tiber River to establish a line of defense. .”

Hansen shook his head, "If it was that simple, our No.13 Legion would not disappear in the same coniferous forest in the north. They were ambushed in the same ancient forest and wiped out. Monsters can Attacks regardless of terrain, so you have to keep enough troops to defend your homeland."

"What do you mean, what did the Chaos people do?" Stannis had seen the amazing fighting power of these Rhodoks, and it was hard for him to imagine that a legion of good warriors would be completely annihilated.

Hansen stared at his face. For the first time, Stannis also saw the expression of fear on this brave man's face: "...you've heard of the Kuroshio?"

Stannis nodded, "I've also heard that the appearance of monsters like the Chaos People is often a harbinger of the Kuroshio."

"That's right, I thought it was just a rumor at first, but when I heard that the legendary monsters like the Chaos People actually appeared, I realized that it was not a simple rumor. Things were not that simple. So I immediately set off with my old friend Amuraddin Heart of the Furnace, and went to the dwarves' hometown of Lonely Mountain to verify the news of the return of the Kuroshio, only to find that they were hiding a terrible secret. Before the creatures on the surface noticed the apocalypse, the dwarves had been fighting the Kuroshio alone underground for tens of thousands of years, and most of the underground cities they once spread across the entire continent had fallen."

"The Kuroshio is back..." Stannis didn't expect that the rumors that people in the Westland thought were used to scare children turned out to be true.

Hansen nodded, "Yes, the black tide has never left, they have been flowing under our feet, and the dwarves fought silently, but now they can't stop them from oozing out of the ground like pus."

"Is it also because of this reason that their prosperous Mithril Dynasty was destroyed overnight?"

"That's right, the Bronze Age also came to an end due to the Kuroshio, so we have to act quickly before it's too late."

"That's why you suddenly announced a truce to the empire when you had the upper hand." Stannis suddenly thought that Rhodok suddenly announced his withdrawal when he was winning consecutive battles in the Condor Empire, and was willing to sign a contract with the empire. At that time, Erathia's Politicians thought it was civil strife in the new Rhodok Republic, and celebrated for a while.But I didn't expect that these people who were supposed to be sworn enemies took such a long-term view.

Stannis then said something that had troubled him for a long time, "Then why are you looking for me? Both the Empire and the Principality have many more powerful lords who can form alliances with you. Isn't this what you desperately need?"

Hansen sighed, "We have also tried our best to contact all the lords, but unfortunately, they are blinded by hatred and cannot see the biggest danger at the moment. My brother, the special envoy of the Republic, Lanster Mengsk, even talked with Your Highness the Duke has met, but he directly rejected our request, and even blocked our proposal, insisting on sending an army to the mountains at the junction of the two countries for a separate crusade, which is tantamount to death."

Stannis knew that what he was talking about was the useless White Crusade, and it seemed that the Rhodoks still didn't know why a large group of people would go on a death march that seemed to be suicide, because they probably couldn't believe that the Duke's move was just on the back of a monster. To eliminate those who threaten him with one hand, for the sake of the so-called power, His Excellency the Duke will send thousands of people to death without blinking an eye.

"So, among all the lords in the Principality of Tanis, it seems that you are the only one who can escape the hatred between races. This is what I like and what I admire from the bottom of my heart."

Stannis was very embarrassed by his praise, because the reason he did this was because he was not an Erathian in the first place, and he didn't care about the so-called hatred at all.
