Chapter 119 Warcraft Cavalry II

In addition to the top-level Warcraft cavalry, the most organized by the major kingdoms are low-level Warcraft cavalry such as iron-horned horses, flaming horses, and dragon-blood horses.

The IQ of low-level Warcraft is not as good as that of humans, but it is higher than that of ordinary animals, so it is not too difficult to communicate with them. Some types of Warcraft can be raised on a large scale, suitable for human riding, and the speed is not slow. The difficulty of establishment is relatively low, and the resources invested are also less.

However, the combat effectiveness of Warcraft cavalry organized by low-level Warcraft is not weak at all.

Dozens of low-level magics are released, and the killing effect is not weaker than ordinary legendary magic.

Of course, compared with super magic such as starlight bombs, there is no comparison at all.

Shao Gongyuan is already the peak of legend, second only to the level of gods. The unique magic he created is far more powerful than ordinary legendary magic, and it is already the power second only to gods.

After entering the legendary level, there are four levels in total, and the gap between each level is relatively large.

A fourth-level legend can easily kill a first-level legend. The power gap is equivalent to a ninth-level professional facing a first-level.

Even in the Dawn Plane, there are no more than five fourth-level legends. Such a super boss can defeat a main legion by himself.

In war, the combat effectiveness of a squadron-sized Warcraft cavalry is usually greater than that of an infantry battalion.

The Mad Lion Legion has more than 20,000 people, and only one Warcraft cavalry battalion is organized internally.

This battalion is not fully staffed, and it is only organized into three and a half squadrons. The Warcraft cavalry battalion is equipped with just 300 iron-horned horses in total.

The strength of the Knight Battalion of the Northern Legion is stronger, but it only has four squadrons and 400 Warcraft horses.

The Grizzly Legion is the weakest, with only two Warcraft cavalry squadrons, not yet fully staffed, and only 150 Warcraft horses.

The Warcraft horses under Baron Harden are less than 100 in total. However, this cavalry has made countless contributions and its role in the war is stronger than that of the Eighth Battalion.

In the defense of Pratos that Richard participated in, the Warcraft cavalry under Baron Harden was the key to victory.

The news of the formation of the Warcraft Cavalry immediately caused a sensation among the soldiers. Once this army is formed, it will definitely be the first main force in the territory.

As long as a soldier can be selected into the cavalry squadron, even if it is the lowest-level auxiliary soldier, the annual salary will be increased to ten gold coins.

If you can become a Warcraft Cavalry, the treatment will be increased.

Professional officers have a monthly salary of two gold coins, plus the year-end reward, an annual income of thirty gold coins.

There are no new recruits in the entire cavalry squadron, and every soldier is a veteran who has practiced breathing techniques.

Soldiers riding Warcraft war horses are even more carefully selected, and the bravest and most combative soldiers are selected from various infantry squadrons.

As long as you are selected into the cavalry squadron, even if you were a contract slave yesterday, Richard will give you the status of a freeman today.

In fact, the veterans of the Harland Territory have already made military achievements and restored their status as freemen. The selection standards of the Warcraft Cavalry are too high, and it is impossible for new recruits to be selected.

The soldiers of the Warcraft Cavalry Squadron basically come from the first, second, and fifth three old squadrons.

These three squadrons have been established for five years, and many veterans have a good foundation in breathing techniques. Richard has selected fifteen people from each squadron.

The remaining forty people come from the third, fourth, sixth, and seventh squadrons, with eight people from each squadron.

The soldiers have been selected, and the vacancies in the infantry squadron will be recruited immediately.

The commander of the cavalry squadron has become the top priority.

As a powerful assault force, the commander of the cavalry squadron must be superior. At least he must have the strength of a mid-level or above professional.

Although the Harland family already has many mid-level or above professionals, William and Bernie are both in the Northern Legion, Sophia is a magician, Richard needs to command the overall situation, and Roland is still a disabled person.

After counting, only his uncle Soros can take the position.

After Soros was appointed as the commander of the cavalry squadron, Roland immediately came to him.

After Roland joined the territory, under Richard's guidance, the territory's blacksmith cast him an iron leg.

Wearing a steel prosthesis, Roland can walk without crutches.

After more than four years in Harland Territory, Roland trained batches of new soldiers for the Harland Family.

But his heart always longed for the battlefield, and he had a heart that was unwilling to be ordinary.

Hearing that the Harland Territory was going to form a cavalry, Roland took the initiative to ask to join the cavalry regiment, even if he was an ordinary soldier.

In fact, he had asked to fight several times and asked to be transferred to the main squadron.

Because of Roland's unique relationship with his uncle Soros and father William, Richard had not agreed.

After he explained his intention, Richard hesitated.

"Uncle Roland, it's not that I don't agree, but I still need to talk to my father about your matter, and at the same time I need to ask my uncle's opinion."

"Don't worry, Richard, I have already convinced my brother-in-law, and your father will agree. I am a veteran, and veterans should die on the battlefield, not on the hospital bed.

Since I got my iron leg connected, it has not affected my movements. Don't worry, even if I am disabled, I am still an excellent soldier."

Richard did admit this. Even though Roland's leg was broken, his archery skills were far superior to those of ordinary soldiers. He was a talented fourth-level professional with strength and stamina far superior to that of ordinary people.

In addition, he had been in the army for many years and had rich experience in war. He was indeed an excellent officer.

"In this case, I will let you temporarily take over as the deputy captain of the cavalry squadron and work with Captain Soros, but your appointment still needs to seek the opinion of your father."

In addition to Roland and Soros, there are six professionals drawn into the cavalry squadron this time.

Three of them are Howard's subordinates and mercenaries captured by Richard.

Because no one came to pay the ransom, these people became contract slaves of the Harland family and needed to serve the territory for ten years.

The three people are named Baggett, Staven, and Quincy. Their professional levels are not high. Quincy is a second-level professional, and Baggett and Staven are only first-level.

They were all transferred to the cavalry squadron and served as squad leaders.

The other three advanced professionals are veterans of the territory, named Gareth, Mick, and Valentine. Although these three are slower than Darcy and Sura, they also rely on the Tenghui potion made from the internal organs of the two-legged flying dragon to successfully advance.

After killing the wyvern, relying on this batch of Tenghui potions, the Harland Territory has cultivated seven first-level professionals, and its strength has increased a little.

Richard estimated that this winter, the territory can increase the number of professionals by one or two people.

These six professionals all serve as cavalry squad leaders. Each squad has four Warcraft cavalry and nine ordinary cavalry. The six squads add up to 78 people.

Including the guards and cooks of the squadron, the total number is about more than 90 people.

Because the iron-horned horses also have the responsibility of expanding the population, the cavalry squadron lives with the Warcraft breeding farm.

When there is no war, they are also responsible for breeding Warcraft war horses and finding ways to breed iron-horned horses to expand the population.

Cavalry training is very complicated. In addition to training soldiers in riding skills and tacit understanding with war horses, the most important task is to desensitize war horses.

War horses are very sensitive and their IQ is not very smart. For example, when they see the sharp gun head in front of them, they will turn around and run away.

Even in the genes of war horses, they will be afraid of the terrifying bipedal upright ape.

In addition, war horses need to be familiar with swords, spears, arrows, drums and horns. Only when war horses are familiar with the sounds of the battlefield can they calmly execute the cavalry's orders in war.

An experienced warhorse is as valuable as an experienced soldier.

In addition, the cavalry squadron also needs to train various tactical actions such as slashing on horseback, shooting bows on horseback, lying down to hide, and avoiding arrows.

Warcraft cavalry also needs to pay attention to the emotions of the Warcraft at all times.

Unlike ordinary warhorses, Warcraft has a higher IQ and certain emotions.

Only by communicating correctly with Warcraft can Warcraft know when to release blood spells, when to charge, and when to retreat.

It often takes three years to train a Warcraft cavalry.

The Warcraft cavalry organized by the Harland Territory is now just an empty frame. Although its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of ordinary infantry squadrons, it is not comparable to mature Warcraft cavalry.

At least the personnel configuration and quality are far inferior to Baron Harden's Warcraft cavalry.

The cavalry regiment under Baron Harden has more than 30 professionals.

The cavalry regiment formed by the Harland Territory now has only eight professionals.

Although Soros and Roland are already mid-level professionals, their combat effectiveness is far from comparable to that of Baron Harden.

The quality of the personnel is not as good as that of Baron Harden's cavalry regiment, and the number of Warcraft war horses is also reduced by more than half.

The Warcraft cavalry lacks professionals, but Richard has no way to conjure people.

The great nobles can still rely on their reputation to recruit wild professionals, and there will be talents to surrender, while the small nobles can only rely on their own training.

As long as they become professionals, they generally will not surrender to the small nobles, because surrendering to the great nobles has a future, and surrendering to the small nobles can only muddle through.

Even the more than 30 professionals under Baron Harden are mostly relatives and friends, as well as young people trained by the territory.

Baron Harden struggled for fifty years to save up a Warcraft cavalry.

The Harland Territory has developed for just five years, and there are more than 30 professionals under it, and the overall strength exceeds that of Baron Harden. The speed of development is very amazing.

Baron Harden can lead his cavalry to easily penetrate the orc brigade.

The cavalry under Richard's command cannot bear such a responsibility.

Even if this Warcraft cavalry has just been organized, relying on the power of the Warcraft horses, it can easily defeat one or two orc squadrons. If it encounters an orc brigade, it cannot fight recklessly.

The Warcraft cavalry began to organize, and Richard was also busy.

Many things in the territory, big and small, require Richard to make decisions.

Recently, in addition to practicing breathing and meditation, Richard has spent almost all his time handling official business.

Richard knows that the territory is already a big business, and he cannot be all-round. He should delegate some power and cultivate some bureaucrats to share the responsibilities on him.
