Heart of Empire Chapter 122: The whole army set off
Overall, Dane had a fulfilling life when he returned to the island. The rebellion of the Nancy elves was suppressed by him at almost zero cost, and he actually got a ranger general like Patience as a loyal subordinate, and he also took a whole squadron of elite rangers; The territory that has stagnated due to lack of resources has also made great progress with the large amount of funds obtained after the sale of the black crystal; his own personal strength has been steadily improving, especially because of the construction of the hero altar , directly rushed up a lot.
If such a high-speed momentum continues, it is obvious that in the near future, Comilla Island is likely to change from a worthless barren land to a deserted land in a short period of time. Xanadu.
It's a pity that this kind of time cannot last forever. Soon, there were only a few days left before the time agreed by Dane and Morno to gather troops to prepare for the Eastern Expedition.
This Eastern Expedition is imperative. It is absolutely impossible for Dane to tolerate being an island owner on a remote island forever.
Of course, Komyrya needs to develop, and this will be his rear and base for expanding his strength on the mainland in the future. But even though Comilla was a big island rarely seen in the sea, it was still too small for him. No matter how Komyrya is like a paradise, it cannot completely accommodate his ambitions. Only the vast continent can allow him to gallop to his heart's content.
……
New Caesar's Calendar, 216, December 21st, Ghost Knife Port Wharf.
More than 240 soldiers belonging to the forces of Comilla Island have completed their assembly and are slowly boarding the two two-masted sailing ships Golden Fragrant Leaf and Long Sail.
The entire army is composed of two squadrons of one hundred and twenty horror mercenaries, one squadron of human and elf mixed race sword dancer squadrons, one squadron of elite rangers, and another squadron of, A sentinel who has just completed training in the ancient tree of war.
These fighters will be the core strength of Dane's participation in General Morneau's Eastern Expedition this time.
The number of people is not large. If compared horizontally, it is still the least compared with the two mercenary groups of Pure Sword and Smir who participated in the battle. But if the calculation is based on actual combat strength, Dane's army may have the strength to fight against the same number of white wolf cavalry. Especially the Sword Dancer Troop and the Elite Ranger Squadron, these two units are definitely the elite of the elite in the entire Schindler.
Moreover, Dane's manpower to participate in the battle this time is by no means just such a small number. He was quite looking forward to the fact that Delin, who had brought seventeen boxes of black crystals to Shawan Harbor earlier, would give him a surprise when Dane arrived later with the army.
While Dane was thinking about various matters, Patience came over and said softly, "My lord, everyone is on board and we can set off."
Dane let out an 'um', walked past Patience, grabbed her buttocks without leaving any traces, and then yelled at Hull who was at the helm: "Let's go!"
The next moment, the bulging sails under the blowing of the sea breeze slowly brought the anchored Long Sail away from the shore, and began to sail towards the north. No. 1, followed closely behind Long Sail No. These two ships, loaded with soldiers and supplies, will arrive at Shawan Port in a week.
For this expedition, Dane almost pulled out all the forces on Comilla Island. Along with him, in addition to the two hundred and forty soldiers in formal attire, there were three other people, Patience, Faro, and Cecilia. In addition to Dane's own words, all the high-end combat power in the entire Cormyr, except for the instructors who are inconvenient to leave too far in the training buildings of the arms, are all here. In fact, if possible, Dane would also like to bring the ancient war tree Osengari along with him.
It's a pity that that big guy moves too slowly. The battle of the Eastern Expedition must require the mobility of the army. However, if Osengary's combat power is 100%, the mobility can only be given a negative point. Fortunately, before the army was about to leave, Osengari finally had time to contribute a part of his strength. A sentry team that had been trained by him for several months finally completed the training.
The number of these sentries is very small, only a dozen or so, and they can only form a small team. But the combat power is really good. In a frontal confrontation, it will not be weaker than the same number of rangers. More importantly, these sentries also have the ability to hide in the shadows and under the moonlight. As the name suggests, they are very good. Sentry selection. However, in terms of training cycle, training cost, and training quantity, the sentinel troops cannot be compared with normal troops, and it is a pity that they cannot be used as a conventional combat force.
Besides these types of arms, Dane also brought another more valuable team—the caster team.
There are three mages in this team, which were borrowed by Dane from Easterling. His three apprentices~IndoMTL.com~ All three of them have the strength of official mages, and the ability to cast second-level spells Ability can barely play a certain strategic role in battle. In addition to the mage, the four female elf low-level priests who were with Cecilia were also pulled out. The strength of these priestesses is almost the same as that of the three magic apprentices.
This team is led by Cecilia, the tenth-level high-ranking Hilo priest, and directly accepts Dane's orders.
A team of more than 200 people can attack ten spellcasters in total including Dane and Fal'o in terms of rations. This ratio is already close to the army of elves.
Of course, after drawing out most of the power, Dane still left some people on the island. Shaco led about thirty mercenaries, with the assistance of Endor, stationed at the entrance of the underground cave, always keeping an eye on the movement of the Faceless Man. At the same time, cooperating with Shaco, there are about a dozen mixed teams of rangers and sword dancers. Moreover, the manpower cultivated by the War Garden and the Ancient War Tree will also be filled in Shaco's hands in the first place to supplement his strength.
And once something really important happened, Dane still saved a hand—letting Easterlin send a remote magic letter to notify himself. As for whether he can rush back after receiving the notice, that's another question.
However, the underground hole, which has never been a problem before, should not cause any trouble at this time. Dane doesn't want to worry about such unreasonable worries. He is now focusing all his energy on the next Eastern Expedition.
