Sovata City, Duke Aquitaine and Duke Martelli had already been sent back by Li Huailin to prepare for war. Li Huailin had also come to his own private army camp. Speaking of which, this was the first time he had come here, and the first time he had seen his own troops.
Speaking of which, Li Huailin had a slight headache when he saw this group of soldiers for the first time. This was because the large group of soldiers below … Although their equipment looked neat, they didn't look very imposing. Right now, the morale of his troops was very high. It was probably because Li Huailin had killed their commanding officer for no reason, causing their morale to skyrocket. Because of this, a group of soldiers below him were eager to fight. But in fact, this was the behavior of new recruits. If it was the 2nd Division, although their morale was high, they would definitely be very quiet. But there was no other way, because these guys were really just a group of recruits.
Through his territory management panel, Li Huailin looked at the current situation of this group of people.
First Light Cavalry: 1200 people, Team Rank: D, EXP 520, Loyalty 100, Morale: + 7
Second Light Cavalry: 1255 people, Team Rank: E, EXP 308, Loyalty 100, Morale: + 7
The previous captain of the First Cavalry was Bennett, because he had the Intermediate Cavalry Training skill, and because the First Cavalry was formed relatively early, the army was promoted to D level. Now that Bennett had been killed by Li Huailin, this unit was now under Li Huailin's direct command.
The Second Cavalry was worse, with the lowest evaluation of E level. The captain had always been Bruno, who was now standing next to Li Huailin with a face full of excitement. His father was inexplicably hacked to death, this guy was so excited that his eyes were brimming with tears, he could not wait to die for Li Huailin.
"Sir Lord, the troops have been assembled, there are 2,455 people." Legg stood beside Li Huailin and reported. He didn't expect Li Huailin's messy order to be carried out so easily. Not only was there no trouble, but the soldiers were also quite moved. They all expressed that the lord was wise and powerful, and rewarded and punished clearly. Legg didn't know what to do.
As expected of the Lord. How did he do it? As a commoner, he really couldn't understand. If he could, wouldn't he be a Duke?
"Macken, what do you think?" Li Huailin turned around and asked Maccon, who had just rushed over. Maccon immediately assumed the position of Deputy General after he arrived. He took over the documents and started reading without stopping for even a moment.
"This … Marshal, tell me the truth?" McCain raised his head and asked.
"Nonsense, do I need you to flatter me?" Li Huailin said.
"This army is really … terrible. Even the 2nd Legion's reserves are much better than these people. They don't even have enough training time. Marshal, can we really fight with this kind of army?" McCain said. The soldiers were all young and vigorous recruits.
The soldiers below were all hot-blooded new recruits. Their faces turned red after hearing Mackenzie's words, but none of them dared to refute him. The 2nd Legion was one of the top elite troops of the empire. Just look at the Silverwind Guards on the elves' side, but they were completely annihilated by the 2nd Legion. If they could enter the 2nd Legion, they would also want to do so. The problem was that the 2nd Legion's recruitment standards were too high. Ordinary people might not even be selected even if they could fight. Any regular soldier from the 2nd Legion could become a petty officer here. There was a huge gap between the levels of both sides.
However, McCain didn't seem to notice how anxious the soldiers were. He continued to say, "Our main opponent, Duke Lautner, has a full force of five thousand soldiers. They are all veterans of hundreds of battles. They are definitely very strong. Although we are all cavalry troops, according to the information here, Duke Lautner also has two thousand cavalry troops. They are more elite than us, so we don't have the upper hand at all. Marshal, how do we fight this battle?"
"I won't fight if I have the upper hand, okay?" Li Huailin said. "Right now, our chances of winning are about ten percent. This is the kind of game I am good at, okay?"
"You still have a ten percent chance of winning this kind of battle? As expected of the Marshal …" McCain said emotionally.
"Everyone must fight to the death. These days, everyone has been training hard for this battle. I hope you don't cherish your lives. Die for the Marshal!" Legg immediately shouted from the side.
"Die for the Marshal!" The soldiers immediately shouted.
"How long will it take for us to reach the battlefield if we set off now?" Li Huailin asked.
"Very soon," McCain said. "Our troops are all cavalry troops, and we don't need logistical support for the time being. So, we can set off without waiting for the supply team. This way, our marching speed will be very fast. If we rush, we can reach the battlefield in a day. If we march normally, we can reach it in two days."
"Don't need logistical support?" Li Huailin asked, a little confused.
"Yes, actually, this is the idea of your finance minister, Oliveira," McCain explained. In fact, Li Huailin's fief was very far from Duke Martelli's fief. If it was a normal army marching, it would take four to five days. But this time, it was different for Li Huailin. His troops were all cavalry troops, and their marching speed was very fast. Also, he had a new way to solve the problem of the supply team's slow marching speed. Generally speaking, the supply team would only bring their own food when they went to a place where there was no supply. But this time, Li Huailin's troops were all within the empire's borders. On the way, there were more than a dozen cities of various sizes. So, there was no need to worry about food at all. He could bring some dry rations at first, and then buy them on the way. Besides, Oliveira had already contacted De 'an Chamber of Commerce, and they had already prepared food for Li Huailin along the way. So there was no problem at all. Besides, which city would dare not give face to Li Huailin's troops? When the troops passed by, they would have to come out to greet them and ask for some supplies. How could they refuse to give them? This time, Li Huailin just needed to lead the cavalry troops forward, and the supply team would slowly follow. There was no problem at all.
"That's it." After listening to Maccon's explanation, Li Huailin nodded. This was a good idea. Originally, Li Huailin was not in a hurry to go there, but it was also good to arrive early. So, he said, "Okay, then let's get ready to go."
"Everyone, get on your horses!" Legg roared from the side.
With two swishing sounds, all the soldiers got on their horses. Their movements were neat and uniform, which made Li Huailin's eyes light up.
"Huh? This movement of getting on a horse is not bad. It's very imposing. "Maccon also said. This kind of quality really looked like the aura of an elite troop.
"In terms of riding, they have put in a lot of effort." Legg said, "Of course, other aspects still need to be trained. That is, we can fight on horseback, but we don't have time to train when we dismount."
"Don't inexplicably increase my chances of winning, you bastard." Li Huailin said, "Forget it, everyone listen … Wait … I seem to have forgotten something important."
"What is it? Lord? "Legg asked from the side.
"In the camp, call me Marshal," Li Huailin reminded him.
"Yes, Marshal." Legg immediately saluted. "What orders do you have for me, Marshal?"
"Don't you think that for someone of my level to appear personally, isn't it a little lacking … an item that can increase the aura of a person?" Li Huailin said.
"Eh? What's that? Marshal? "Legg asked, not understanding for a moment.
"I'm talking about the army flag, the army flag! Without my army flag, how would people know that I'm in the army? What's the point of me appearing? "Li Huailin said.
"Oh, Marshal, are you talking about the marshal flag? Yes, indeed. " Legg nodded. "I wonder what style you want, Marshal. I'll get someone to make it right away. It'll be done immediately."
There were thousands of servants in the duke's mansion, and there were a lot of master tailors. It was very easy to find a few. It was just a matter of a military flag, and it could be done in minutes.
"Hmm, I've thought about it for a long time. I have to design it," Li Huailin nodded.
Half an hour later, a strong flag-bearer appeared on the platform in front of the troops. This soldier, who had just been promoted by Li Huailin to be the only member of the flag-bearer team, raised the newly made marshal flag and raised it high. In an instant, all the soldiers present … were petrified.
There was a huge black flag on the flagpole that was seven meters tall. There were no patterns on the flag, only two huge white words were written on the top of the flag, "Awesome". There was even an arrow below it. Because the flag was now standing on Li Huailin's head, the arrow was pointing at Li Huailin's head.
"How is it?" Li Huailin said with satisfaction.
Maccon: "…"
Legg: "…"
Seeing Li Huailin's satisfied expression, Maccon asked carefully, "Marshal, are we really going to use this flag?"
"Of course, isn't it cool?" Li Huailin puffed out his chest, then raised his head and said, "This style … Isn't it awesome? Isn't it cool? Isn't it awesome? Isn't it cool?"
"…" Maccon held his forehead.
"Well, Marshal is indeed different. You are indeed a role model for our generation." Legg went up to flatter him.
"Hmm …" Li Huailin nodded. "Alright, everyone look carefully. This is my marshal flag from now on. From now on, wherever this flag points, my will will be. Wherever this flag points, you will kill for me. Understand?"
"Yes! Marshal! "The soldiers present shouted in unison.
"Alright, all ready. Let's go!" Li Huailin waved his hand.
