As a matter of fact, after the day I shot thousands of pieces of threatening paper into Maple City, I had left withback
Because I have kept injob that could actually yield very little outco no one has regarded Haric as a keeper except for himself
Several infantry corps who specialized in field battles caught up with us 5 days laterThey were the main course of the feast I saved for Maple CityThe infantries were not as fast as riders and less capable to fightAnd the Maple City fools stayed in their nest like expected, did nothing but sending a dozen recourse letter crying for Divine City’s reinforcement
Could Luhrmann send help? Fat chanceFor the usurper, he’d be only too anxious to let me take over more provinces so that my army would be dispersedIf that was the case, I would be putting troops on an extensive line to defense, far longer than the good old Darkmoon and Dark City combinedIndeed, I had over 100, 000 troopsNo ah to defend ive me a weakness and Luhrmann a chance
Therefore, I took steps with caution, constrainedfurther progression after gaining enough resources
I can’t give my enemy the chance and I shall make no er)
The troops took tience
Layers of cloud shaded the resting sun, which painted crimson on half of the skyDown there, a river quietly meandered
Grassland was found on both sides of the riverThere, scattered soldiers gathered in groups of 2 or 3 replenishi+ng water, joking or restingMy officers werejobsMost of the rest were cleaning their weapons
After I assuion and adapted a new establishiments, their weaponry system and composition were far advanced than before
All IGT units were allocated with horses because horse troopBesides that, all of them have mastered skills that would ht riders
These men were the most powerful soldiers in my Dark Army
All men carried 3 kinds of weapons: lances, sabers, war-bows or crossbows
Boere a must for riders and they were required to choose one between a saber and a lance
The reason I did not add raht a horse can carry, let along being able to ride fast and rapidlyTherefore, the lighter, the better
A trigonous arrow that eted enemy to die from massive loss of blood, it’s indeed ireatly surpassed that of a regular feather-arrow; and the space consumption was 4 times moreThe arroas the most effective weapon but not as practical
(I ad soldiersIt takes practice)
For this reason, plus lessons I learned frorandmaster and I made further adjustments to my army’s weaponryThis mass of armory replacement was the reason I cannot muster more troops
All IGT units’ armors have been modified, from hardened plates that covered the entire body to partly-hardened plates that only protected vital organsThe other not-so-hard places were added 3 layers of fine, forged decks packed with reinforced bars, the coive my soldiers more flexibility on the joints
Hence I have drawn a strict standard in forging an entire arular feather-arrows fired frothMost of the parts on this ar 2 consecutive chops of a war-ha
I have also made an alteration to lancesA bar that formed a cross with the lance’s body was added at the weapon’s head so that it won’t be too deeply pierced into the enemy’s body to pull outThe once metal weapon body was replaced by sturdy wood in order to lessen the load
Here, riders’ blades ithdrawn and replaced by a newer ers, more curved and the barycenter prone to the handleThey never will be carrying a blade that looked just like my black steel machete
The improvement to the arroas at the arrowheadIt was now a onous headWith the same load, one soldier can carry double the arrows
At last, each regi all tents, provisions, spare weapons and 200 arrows of the newest model for each soldier
With the series of i 10~15 days without logistic support
