Chapter 9 Chronicle of the System Continent (Part 2)
The Five Great Continental Empires
The Eastern Oakley Empire, whose border is connected to the Central Mountains, mainly faces the threat from the Eastern elves, so it has a huge infantry group. It has nearly 2 million soldiers. Because it faces the elves' guerrilla tactics of bow and arrow, it mainly uses its own body.
The main force is heavily armored infantry. The special unit, Oakley heavy infantry, is covered in thick armor and its weapon is a two-handed giant axe. Because the armor is too heavy, its mobility is low, and it is often pushed by the soldiers behind it when the front line advances.
Before arriving at the battlefield, they all marched in carriages. This is an extremely precious army, so it is impossible for a huge empire to deploy in large numbers. There is a total of about one regiment, nearly 2,000 people. There are also a large number of longbow troops.
For long-range strikes, almost all conventional soldiers can use bows and arrows. There was a war with the Alton Empire 100 years ago. In the South Central Plains, the two empires invested nearly 200,000 troops, but they were defeated by the Orton Empire.
The elite cavalry of the Don Empire were defeated and withdrew from the fight for the Brooke Empire. Then an elite cavalry unit was formed, called the Sword of Oakley, and known to the outside world as the Knights of the Holy Sword. They were equipped with heavy armor and numbered about 3,000. They have no record so far.
.
The Central Alton Empire occupies the fertile central plains and is rich in products. Due to its geographical location, transportation is very developed and commerce is prosperous. When fighting for the Brooke Empire a hundred years ago, it first defeated the Oakley Empire army, but was later defeated by the Bywaste Empire in the north.
The Phantom Knights were defeated and therefore withdrew from the battle. Due to the development of commerce in the country, the prestige of the royal family has declined. The United Chamber of Commerce penetrated into all aspects of the empire and established the Senate, aiming to replace the royal family. But the founding emperor, Carla Orr
It was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the prestige of the Holy Emperor was very high, so it could not be replaced for the time being. In the Alton Empire, due to the Chamber of Commerce Senate established by the great nobles, the control of the centralized government was greatly weakened. In addition to the central army controlled by the royal family, the remaining remote fiefdoms
The army was in the hands of the great nobles, and gradually formed the shape of a family of warlords. The distinctive domestic unit is the elite light cavalry unit, commonly known as the Central Army. This unit was created by Saint Emperor Carla Alton, and the soldiers were all trained from an early age.
Composed of descendants of soldiers, the number is about 10,000. It is precisely because of the existence of this army that the nobles dare not rebel easily. Compared with the mountainous areas in the north, the central plain in the south is flat, and the prosperous commerce makes the country
Roads extend in all directions, and the light cavalry of the Central Army can quickly rush to various territories in the empire, making it impossible for the big nobles to resist. 100 years ago, they defeated the Oakley Empire army in the southeastern central plain.
The Western Norr Empire connects the three major empires on the border, but it is located in the coastal plain, rich in products, and has a large number of irregular troops. The empire has 1.5 million standing troops, which are deployed in the Nork region in the north, the Western Central Plains in the east and the southeast Corte
Region. In addition to the Royal Guards who guard the capital, there are only a large number of militiamen in the country. Since Saint Emperor Andrew Noel brought a large number of dwarf slaves to join the empire 300 years ago, the Nole Empire relied on these dwarf slaves to develop rapidly. From the early Bronze Age
It was the first to enter the Iron Age. Therefore, the military equipment of the Nor Empire is the best among other empires. However, after the central Alton Empire gradually fell into chaos for decades, Byvost in the north faced an even more severe orc invasion, which put pressure on the empire's borders.
The empire was greatly weakened, causing the empire to fall into a period of love for luxury. Gradually, due to the stupidity of the upper-class rulers, domestic rebellions arose. And the large number of unofficial militia organizations in the country were obviously unable to suppress the rebellions that continued to emerge from various places, and could only mobilize the border guards.
Stationed in the country. However, the situation has not eased. With the rebellions of the guards one after another, the empire is already crumbling. The status quo is temporarily maintained only by the continuous purges of the Royal Guards.
The Southern Byron Empire is a mysterious empire. Apart from necessary trade, this empire only showed its fangs in the battle 100 years ago. It has the strongest standing army in the mainland, which sounds incredible, because the Byron Empire does not
There is no foreign pressure, and the three major empires connected to it, the Eastern Oakley Empire, do not have a large population due to the hilly and swampy areas in the south, and only have a few garrison troops. And because of the strategic depth of the vast south, they abandoned this useless area, leaving only
There are only a few border guard posts. Central Alton also has a sharp decrease in border pressure due to domestic separatist forces. The Western Nor Empire has been in trouble in recent years and has transferred a large number of border guard troops into the country, thus putting the greatest military pressure on the west of the Byron Empire.
Disappeared. It stands to reason that the Byron Empire did not need so many standing troops, but its monarch did not think so. As a descendant of Saint Emperor Bertram Byron, Art Byron showed extraordinary courage, vigorously reformed the domestic system, and abolished the
The slave system, while carrying out military reforms, replaced the conscription system with a recruitment system, thereby regularizing the army. Compared with the other four empires, which only assembled during war and only a few troops were professional armies, the Byron Empire was undoubtedly ahead of the curve.
The forefront of history. It is not difficult to imagine how much vitality more than ten years of domestic reforms will bring to this empire, and what is its goal? It is not difficult for us to conclude that it is to strive for hegemony on the mainland!
After reading the detailed introduction of these mainland forces, Zhou Yunfei fell into deep thought, as if following the stars in the sky, watching the changes in the history of the mainland. From the budding civilization of the dragon clan, to the huge empire of the elves, and finally to the destruction of the trolls by hundreds of clans fighting for hegemony.
Zhou Yunfei was shocked by the cadenza. Indeed, he used to think that the 20-year achievement hegemony given by the system was very simple. As long as he worked hard and had the help of the system, he could easily complete it. But now he realized that he was wrong.
Big mistake! Not to mention the existing 2 million-strong army of Byvost and the three major knights, the 200,000-strong army of the St. Clair family in the north can easily eliminate him. Before today, he thought that he would just wait until he
Having tens of thousands of troops and being able to sweep across the continent is a complete joke! You underestimate the heroes of the world!
After a moment of silence, Zhou Yunfei continued to check the changes brought about by the system.
The first and most important point! By building temples, the aborigines can be assimilated! What does this mean? Zhou Yunfei was instantly confused! What does assimilation mean! It means that the system will have absolute binding force on them and will never betray Zhou Yunfei.
!Also, if a large number of aborigines are assimilated, a large number of system soldiers can be recruited! Zhou Yunfei was just worried about what his future would be like, and now it would be false to say that he was not excited when he saw this change.
After calming down, I continued reading.
The second point is that the system will only retain the soldier recruitment system, cancel the round of food harvest, and combine it with the real rules. This can be regarded as a compromise between the system and the natural rules. Zhou Yunfei frowned, canceling the round of food every 10 days, and opening up assimilation
Function, that is to say, he has to prepare in advance for the food crisis caused by the huge population in the future. Fortunately, there will not be so many people in a while, so this can be done slowly.
Keep reading. The third building function cancels the turn system and will be constructed according to the corresponding real-world rules. At the same time, the effects of the building will not change. This is not bad news. In the past, it could only be built in one turn in 10 days.
Buildings often take 4 to 5 turns and nearly 2 months to build. Now that we leave the turn system, simple buildings can be built with a large amount of manpower, shortening the time. However, if there are a lot of huge buildings in the later stage, it may take a long time.
Yes, it's far less fast than the turn-based system.
"Hey, forget about the future and let's talk about it later. It would be nice to reduce it a little in the early stage." Zhou Yunfei sighed and continued to look down. The fourth point is to open up the scientific research system, build schools, obtain a large number of books and technical talents, and make the Iron Age
With further development, the blacksmith shop will be changed into a workshop at the same time. This is good news. The fifth point is to open classified arms. Please check the recruitment interface for details.
There are five changes in total, which are mixed blessings and sorrows for Zhou Yunfei, but since they have changed, he can only accept them.
Zhou Yunfei looked up and found that it was already dark, and his stomach was protesting. He turned his stiff neck and walked out of the door. After eating the meal warmed by Diao Chan, Zhou Yunfei slowly thought about how to go in the future, maybe with Zhuge Liang.
They would have a better answer after deliberation. "Forget it, it's getting late today, let's talk about it tomorrow." Zhou Yunfei slowly fell asleep after thinking about it.
At this time, the Ross continent was plunged into darkness, as if something big was about to happen. The night before the storm was always silent.
