"Here, how many warriors are there?"
The person who asked this question was the leader of the Lago tribe, Char, who had just asked Su Cheng how many people there were in Avalon Fortress.
As soon as Charles finished his question, Su Cheng immediately replied:
"The current total strength of the Michael Knights is 120,000. There are currently 80,000 troops stationed in Avalon Fortress, and another 40,000 troops are stationed in other strongholds."
Because Su Cheng implemented the strategy of elite troops and took the initiative to apply to the central government to reduce the size of the Michael Knights, the Michael Knights now only have 120,000 people.
Because the number of troops has been greatly reduced, there is naturally no need for so many strongholds.
There are currently three strongholds in operation, including Avalon Fortress, Base 1 which is very close to Avalon Fortress, and Base 2 which is very close to Baidi City.
Su Cheng led the 1st Army, 2nd Army, 5th Army, and 6th Army, a total of 80,000 people in the Avalon Fortress.
Base No. 1 is commanded by Dale, who commands the 4th Army.
Base 2 is commanded by Gary, who commands the 3rd Army.
In mid-March this year, Gary had already left Avalon Fortress with 20,000 people from the 3rd Army and stationed himself at Base 2.
Speaking of this, Su Cheng paused and then continued:
"We Britannians now have a total of 3...ah, no, 4 knights. My Michael Knights are just the weakest of these 4 knights."
"The weakest one?" a clan leader standing next to Su Cheng exclaimed.
Su Cheng nodded with a smile, and then continued:
"We Britannians now have four knights: the Knights of Michael, the Knights of Rachel, the Knights of Gabriel, and the Knights of Uriel, which will soon be officially formed into an army."
"The strength of the other three knights is far greater than that of my Michael Knights. The Rachel Knights have a strength of 200,000, and the Gabriel Knights have a strength of 300,000. This will soon be official.
The formed Knights of Uriel also have a strength of 150,000."
"Of course, these four major knights are not the entire combat strength of us Britannias. We also have many local garrison troops and many troops that are not affiliated with any knights, such as the ones that were just formed last year.
Heavily armored troops, armored warriors, and the Guards specifically responsible for protecting the emperor."
"Then..." Char, the leader of the Lago tribe, said in a dazed voice, "Don't you Britannians have more than 1 million warriors..."
"Well... you can put it that way." Su Cheng smiled and nodded, "The current total strength of our Britannia people is indeed over one million."
In fact, Su Cheng was just bragging.
The strength of the other three knights is indeed higher than that of Su Cheng's Michael Knights, but their combat power is not necessarily higher than that of the Michael Knights.
If two armies open up for a battle on the plain, no matter who the opponent is, whether it is the Knights of Rachel or the Knights of Gabriel. No matter who the enemy commander is, whether it is Albert,
Regardless of whether it was Issel, Su Cheng was confident of winning.
Not to mention two armies one on one, even if the three knights, the Knights of Gabriel, the Knights of Rachel, and the Knights of Uriel, unite to attack the Knights of Michael, in this kind of 1 vs. 3,
When 120,000 people beat 650,000 people, Su Cheng was not afraid at all and was equally confident in winning the battle.
Su Cheng is very confident in his own abilities, his subordinates, and his soldiers.
I just said that the military strength and combat power of the other three major knights are higher than Su Cheng's Michael Knights. In fact, they are just trying to bluff these mountain barbarian leaders.
However, just like how he frightened the patriarchs in the city just now, Su Cheng's fright this time was also very successful.
After learning that the astonishingly powerful Michael Knights in front of them was actually the weakest, and that there were three other knights that were stronger than it, many clan leaders shrank in fear.
Nalu and Ladao, the chiefs of the Helai and Kelan tribes, the strongest among the 32 tribes, also looked livid at this time.
There are more than 1 million warriors... The total number of tattooed warriors in their 32 tribes may not be as much as a fraction of the Britannia people...
The shock level brought to them by the Michael Knights training ground was far greater than that of the fortress city just now.
Char, the leader of the Lago tribe, pointed to the infantry team not far away who were wearing armor and practicing spear spears, and then asked Su Cheng again:
"Captain Su Cheng, can each of your soldiers wear iron armor?"
"Well, yes. The most common soldier among us Britannias...that is, a warrior, is qualified to wear a set of iron full-body armor."
"The basic equipment of our infantry is a set of iron full-body armor, a spear, a long sword, and a shield. Of course, the spear head, sword, and shield are all made of iron without exception."
"It's all made of iron?" Char exclaimed.
Including Char, the rest of the clan leaders also looked shocked.
No wonder they were shocked, because the Lake people have not yet mastered the technology of iron smelting.
Their knives are still made of stone, and their shields are also made of wood.
If anyone could buy some iron items, such as iron daggers, iron swords, and iron shields, from the trading point opened by the Britannias at the foot of the mountain, they would definitely treat them as treasures.
But who knows, the things they usually offer as treasures are worthless to the Britons and are nothing at all.
Any ordinary soldier can have a complete set of iron armor, iron sword, iron lance, iron shield...
Thinking of this, a strong sense of disparity arose in the hearts of the clan leaders...
In addition to the popularization of iron weapons, the "high-tech weapons" and "advanced tactics" on the training ground also surprised the clan leaders.
Except for a few clan leaders who have some knowledge, the rest of the clan leaders have never seen a crossbow, let alone what a crossbow is.
When they visited the training of crossbowmen just now, these ignorant mountain barbarian chiefs finally saw the crossbow.
In the eyes of the mountain barbarian clan leaders, this crossbow is simply a "high-tech weapon".
As long as the bow string is pulled well, it can be kept ready for shooting for a long time. As long as the so-called trigger is pulled, the arrow can be shot.
The 32 clan leaders are all outstanding warriors in their respective tribes. They only need to take a look at the training of the crossbowmen and the targets hit by the crossbow arrows to see that the destructive power and accuracy of the crossbows are definitely far superior to those of bows.
above.
The Lake people who still live a tribal life naturally have no tactics to speak of in their daily battles. They just wave their hands and everyone pounces on them, and that's it.
Therefore, the various tactics and formation training in training also amazed the clan leaders.
Among them, the tactic that made the clan leaders feel most curious and shocked was the "three-stage strike" tactic trained by the crossbowmen.
Row after row, they took turns shooting, making the rain of arrows never stop.
The clan leaders imagined the scene of being shot by crossbow arrows like a rainstorm...
