Chapter 22: Mastering Military Power

On the grounds of Winterfell, Robb was doing recovery training. When he woke up three days ago, his body was indeed very weak.

However, after these few days of high-protein food supplementation, coupled with his already good physical fitness, his body has basically recovered in just three days.

As soon as the training was over, Torrhen, who was standing on the left, came forward and handed him a towel. After Theon led the team out, the two Karstark brothers followed Robb.

Smiling and nodding, Robb took the towel and wiped his sweat. Robb estimated in his mind that Theon and others should still be chasing him on the road.

"Ed, gather all the Wolf Guards who have no missions!

Torrhen, go and ask the officers of Winterfell to assemble as well."

Robb had no intention of thinking about whether Theon could successfully complete the mission. He made sure that his body had recovered and immediately gave instructions to Eddard and Torrhen beside him.

"As you command, Lord Robb!"

After the two Karstark brothers left, they immediately informed Robb of his orders.

After waiting for a while, except for the six wolf guards who had missions, the other wolf guards all lined up neatly in the school field.

The officer class in Winterfell, including Sir Rodrik, was slower and took more time to gather.

"Brothers and sisters, I was unwell some time ago. Thanks to your daily protection, I can regain my health again."

Robb began to speak loudly, and in a tone of thanks, he first bowed and saluted the Wolf Guard soldiers.

Robb straightened up, stretched out his hand to stop the wolf guards who were a little commotion when they saluted him, and continued to speak loudly,

"While I was sleeping, I had a very long nightmare.

I saw the war-torn Winterfell, the flags of the northern nobles that were cut off, and the crying people of the north."

"You may think that this is just my dream and it doesn't mean anything.

However, the savages I captured told me that outside the Great Wall, a savage king was preparing to gather 100,000 savage warriors to attack the Great Wall. It is said that they also have legendary giants."

"Of course, in our knowledge, it is absolutely impossible for them to climb the Great Wall of Despair.

But what if they succeed? Are you willing to watch your family fall, your relatives die miserably or live worse than death, and you become the food of those savages? "

At the end of the sentence, Robb became emotional and pointed to the north and shouted loudly.

"I don't want to!"

"no way!"

"Kill them all!"

The Wolf Guard soldiers shouted loudly, and their emotions were completely aroused. After spending this time together, they already admired Robb very much, so most of them chose to believe what he said.

The officer class in Winterfell is completely different, including Sir Rodrik, although they all agree with it.

But in their hearts they were more disapproving. In their minds, the Great Wall of Despair had stood for thousands of years, and even millions of savages, let alone hundreds of thousands of savages, could not conquer it.

"In the name of Robb Stark, the guardian of the North, the designated heir of Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, and the acting lord of Winterfell, I declare that Winterfell will be in a state of war readiness starting today, and all Winterfell troops will

Let me take control and listen to my command!"

Of course Robb noticed the completely different behavior of the Wolf Guard and the officers of Winterfell.

But he didn't care about this and directly announced loudly the ultimate goal of today's performance.

Robb declared full control of the army, and Ser Rodrik had no objections because he served the Stark family wholeheartedly.

The officer class below him began to talk about it.

The faction structure of Winterfell's officer class is very simple, divided into three parts.

The cavalry officers are responsible for reconnaissance, information transmission and horse management, the archer officers are responsible for city defense and public security maintenance, and the logistics officers are responsible for logistics assistance.

Officers in each department are managed from top to bottom, and orders are conveyed in this way on weekdays.

In fact, each military department is equivalent to three independent departments. The distribution of military supplies and the distribution of their own work are all controlled by the officers of each department.

Robb's order has been announced, directly concentrating the military power in his hands. These officers will naturally discuss it.

"If you have any objections, speak up now. Don't discuss it in private!"

Robb had no intention of playing tricks with these officers. Anyway, he originally planned to replace them with the Wolf Guard, so he spoke rudely.

The officers of Winterfell were not fools. After hearing Robb's stern tone, no one dared to discuss it privately. They all immediately stood up with their heads held high, and no one wanted to be the first person.

After all, Robb is Eddard's designated heir and a well-known Young Wolf leader.

The Winterfell army belongs to the Stark family, so it is natural for him to take control of the military.

Besides, the combat effectiveness of the Wolf Guards under his command is obvious to all. When the savages were wiped out last time, the more than 190 soldiers who were in charge of peripheral security had already beaten them to the sky after returning to the city.

Therefore, the military power of Winterfell was nominally controlled by Robb without any disturbance.

The next day, after Robb lectured the Wolf Guards in private, he dispersed them and began to control the three major military branches of Winterfell.

Robb would still use the obedient officers who were transferred. After all, when he summoned the vassal army in the future, he would need his own direct line officers to supervise and manage them.

For officers who were disobedient and unwilling to delegate power, he took out the black materials obtained through certain channels and directly put them in prison, giving them the choice of either death or wearing black clothes.

Maester Luwin and Ser Rodrik fully support Robb's various legal and compliant methods.

Because, without Eddard, they took Robb as their allegiance.

Caitlin stayed at Brandon's bed and ignored all this.

In fact, she had no power and would not interfere with Robb.

Except for Daisy who desperately insisted on staying to protect Robb, the other twenty-four Wolf Guards separately controlled Winterfell's army of 4,300 people.

They followed Robb's instructions and taught these Winterfell soldiers their previous training content every day.

These are all things Robb has considered in advance.

The basic quality of Winterfell soldiers is still quite high. If you want to increase their combat effectiveness in a short period of time, the only way is to strengthen their equipment and strengthen their formation training.

Strengthen the equipment, now Robb has no money and no resources.

Although the North is vast, it can be said to be very barren compared to the South. In terms of equipment, it cannot be compared with the Lannister, which has gold mines.

So what about adding some ancient equipment from the past life of China?

Not feasible either!

After all, the soldiers of Winterfell have been training for ten years and decades and are using the current standard weapons.

If you replace the standard long sword that people are familiar with with a Tang sword, let’s not talk about who is better and who is worse.

For the soldiers of Winterfell, Tang Dao is definitely a strange and uncomfortable weapon, and they cannot adapt to it in a short period of time.

If they forcefully use Tang swords to fight on the battlefield, their combat effectiveness will definitely decrease instead of increase, and there will be no suspense.

However, the Chinese ancestors had many weapons and equipment that were better and more practical than those in Westeros. Robb planned to slowly test and popularize these in the future.

The only option left is to train the formation of Winterfell soldiers, and the effects have already been shown on the Wolf Guard.

It is no surprise that an army with strict orders and strict formations is definitely more powerful than an army that breaks up in charge formation.
