Chapter 1650: Chapter 816: Forming the War Chariot Legion On-Site (Part 2)
“Sir!”
The Cloak Warriors who heard the command couldn’t hide their excitent on their faces. This was a sure promotion on the spot, directly elevating them from grunts to squad leaders.
Although they were Elite handpicked by Gaven, they were also selections made from the best among the ordinary soldiers, not from the existing officer class.
As veterans who had followed Gaven for so ti, they were well aware of their Lord’s style. This was just a beginning; if they perford competently in the future, there would be many more opportunities for advancent.
Many of the mid to high-level officers in the Battle Valley started as War Chariot Team Leads.
The first test before them now was recruiting mbers for their War Chariot Squad, with a passing score of five points and a full score of ten.
What they are considering now is not just passing, but achieving a full score, while other War Chariot Team Leads are their competitors.
The City of Usr is just a small town of ten thousand people, and this includes those Laiserman Refugees and the Great Valley Rangers supporting this area.
It’s impossible for everyone to get full marks; if they’re not careful, they won’t even pass. Everyone took imdiate action, persuading the comrades they t over the past ten days to recruit them into their War Chariot Squad.
“Join my War Chariot, your archery is excellent, a bit of training and you’ll master the ballista skills. Then I’ll make you a Ballista Operator, located on top of the cart with absolute safety guaranteed. The enemy will never hurt you even a bit before knocking all of us down.”
“You’ve already seen that the Tower War Chariot’s defensive power is undeniably reliable. By relying on it for battle, safety is absolutely guaranteed. Before the Tukan People cross the lake, our main task should be transporting military supplies from the City of Usr to the front line in large-scale operations, with no one in the Great Valley daring to provoke us.”
“Don’t be fooled by the size of the Tower War Chariot, its off-road capability in the wilderness is actually very strong. Except for high mountains and deep marshes, ordinary terrain doesn’t pose a challenge to it. Moreover, the entire Grand Road is likely to transform into Tarthan Road, ensuring a clear path.”
“As for the salary and benefits, rest assured, just the price of this one War Chariot is equivalent to the wages of ten people for three years.”
“A man should venture out, where the military formation most proves one’s worth.”
“Our Lord’s ability is evident to everyone, employing people without regard to background, only considering ability. If there’s an opportunity, you could soar to great heights.”
“The competition in the City of Usr is too intense. Captain, trying to recruit ten people here is very unlikely. Why not go back to my village with ? Recruiting ten people, even twenty or thirty, is very simple. They’re all top-notch hunters with excellent archery skills and survival ability in the wilderness. If luck is good, maybe we can recruit one or two Spellcasters, so it’s not just random recruitnt, but a careful selection.”
“Makes sense. You’re thinking fast, kid. How long does it take from here to your village? Can it be done round-trip within three days? Thirty lashes I don’t fear, but losing my head is not worth it.”
“In the past, it would take two days, but if the entire Grand Road really transforms into this new Tarthan Road, rushing it should only take one day. Before Sunrise tomorrow, we’ll definitely make it back.”
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go, if we wait until others realize it, it’ll be too late.”
“First prepare the horses and travel provisions, this saves more ti.”
“Let’s split up; you prepare the horses, I’ll prepare the provisions. If this succeeds, you’ll be my Deputy Captain. If given a chance, I’ll surely recomnd you to our military academy for further studies in strategy and tactics. Your mind works too fast, naturally suited to be a strategist or commander.”
“Captain, you overpraise. It’s all thanks to your care these days, or I wouldn’t know how many tis I might have died.”
“We’re family now, let’s not talk separately. Let’s accomplish this task first.”
The entire City of Usr was set into high-speed motion by a command from Gaven.
These five hundred Cloak Warriors were brought by Gaven from afar to The Eastern Desolation, proving they had skills. They excelled over their peers in various ways and were studious of Lady Strategy’s Path of War.
Reading military texts didn’t make them excellent tacticians, but at least broadened their horizons, enabling them to devise more responses when encountering issues.
This was the case now, directly using the personal connections they had established in the City of Usr, local recruits comprised the most ordinary.
Many Cloak Warriors directly set their sights on the Great Valley Villages outside the City of Usr. Their Lord intended to use them as the backbone to imdiately assemble an army, not caring where these people originated.
If they rely went out recruiting on their own, the chances of bringing back people were slim. But if local people guided and assisted, it would be a different matter.
Proactively suggesting that they lead them was a lesser move.
The highest move was eliciting suggestions from the locals, offering to lead them to town to gather team mbers. That was the ultimate strategy.
People were more committed and proactive in executing plans they proposed themselves.
There were a dozen who gathered for discussion, directly bypassing everyone and headed to the City of Usr’s shipyard, seeking an audience with the three Leaders of the Brotherhood of Sword Spike.
