I draw a card first

Chapter 40 Rebirth and Glory
The first step of Aiwen's military reform is the large-scale layoffs and recruitment of new soldiers.

According to strict standards, those unqualified soldiers were screened out, and a large number of new recruits were recruited. After the two were mixed and reorganized, a new legion was built.

At the same time, he will try his best to establish a more complete, reasonable and strict military reward and punishment system with reference to the data on Earth and the results of discussions with other people. At the same time, he will also establish a welfare system for soldiers who are disabled and a field emergency medical system.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely huge project, but although it is difficult, Ivan has to work hard to do it.

For this reason, he even had to further increase the trade volume with the Temple of Wealth to solve the problem of the funding gap. At the same time, the Canyon of the Dead also made a lot of "contributions".

Well, really. Coffin ben...

By the way, the previous undead knight, the previous king of the canyon, was born as a temple knight of the Temple of Fortune during his lifetime.

It is precisely because of this origin, coupled with some benefits, that the caravans of the Temple of Fortune are allowed to pass in the designated route of the canyon.

After all, although most of the undead are strictly speaking brand-new individuals and are no longer the one who died, as the level and strength increase, the undead will instinctively awaken some memory fragments from their original bodies even emotion.

It is actually impossible to completely avoid its influence and interference, but it is just a difference.

In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Aiwen, as the new king, maintained this popular order, which guaranteed the continuation of the trade, and also tried to prolong the time for the replacement of the king of the undead found by the temple to avoid unnecessary turmoil .

At least from the current point of view, the temple should not have found any problems.

In order to promote reform, money is obviously only one aspect, and a large number of manpower is also required to implement these plans and institutional orders.

In order to alleviate the serious shortage of manpower, Ai Xing, who has begun to go crazy at this moment, even took the mother dragon Aviana and the sea monster Lilith who came to visit the office out of curiosity and boredom to help out for a few days. Part-time work as a secretary for him to organize and summarize materials and documents.

Aviana and Lilith, who have a completely playful attitude towards this, seem to be quite happy on the contrary, as if they really entered the role and busy up and down.

Especially Aviana, Aiwen even felt that she seemed to like this kind of work for some reason, and she was quite happy with it...

"Um, this guy must have awakened some weird attributes, right?"

Ai Wen: You are a guy who is leaving soon, and you deliberately created a cubicle and desk in my office, and what's the use of hanging a small sign with the word "Secretary" on it? ! (￢_￢)
Moreover, a certain female dragon didn't ask for his opinion at all, and made a toy set for the little sea goblin on her own initiative to hang on the wall.

No matter how Ivan looked at it, it felt like there was an extra bird's nest in the room...

Forget it, it’s good to have someone to help, and the rest can bear it...

In short, the group of people who were already busy because of the castle renovation were completely crazy busy this time.

Fortunately, newborn paladins generally have a certain level of writing skills, and some selected people can help share some basic work, and can also help others relieve fatigue with the holy light.

Otherwise, the clerks who were already dissatisfied with all kinds of crazy overtime work would probably choose to resign by jumping up and down.

Well, Ai Wen wouldn't say that paladins carry swords with them, and they would look at the clerks with malicious eyes from time to time...

In the entire military reform, the only thing that can be solved is the problem of weapons that should be the most difficult to deal with.

Sitting on the [War Workshop], which is an unscientific and non-magical, but extremely efficient processing line, it is impossible for Aiwen to lack weapons.

The huge amount of equipment accumulated before is now just used to carry out a large-scale facelift for the entire territory.

According to the standard of the plan, in the future, the regular army of the Lions led by ordinary people will focus on long-range strikes.

The standard configuration of each soldier is armor, heavy crossbow, and the secondary weapon is a long sword. It mainly serves as an auxiliary and regular castle defense force.

The scattered villages that are basically not targeted by the enemy mainly rely on the original garrison.

The reforms of these people mainly focus on the replacement of weapons. In addition to the three-piece set, the standard equipment issued will also be equipped with some long hair, shields and other weapons to deal with conventional enemies such as wild beasts.

As for encountering strong men and large-scale enemy troops?
It is more reliable to choose to run for a defense team with a size of ten or 20 people.
After all, this is not a world where ordinary people can dominate the situation, and quality is far more important than quantity.

Therefore, the main battlefield that requires real hard steel on the front will be handed over to the more powerful and elite trainee paladin cavalry regiment and paladin officers in the future according to the plan.

And this is also the concept that Aiwen has been trying to implement-the strong is the real master on the battlefield, and the key to determining the outcome of a battle!

Therefore, for ordinary people, it is best to return to the auxiliary position where it should be.

As for using ordinary soldiers as consumables, this kind of thing that other lords seem to be commonplace really does not conform to Ivan's ideas.

If it weren't for the limited number of professionals trained, it would be impossible to completely replace soldiers. He didn't want ordinary people to go to the battlefield.

I have to mention here, perhaps because of the stimulation of those young middle-level paladins, the original core knight legion in the territory has decided to change jobs to become paladins under the leadership of Carina. .

Aiwen was naturally very happy to accept these powerful knights who were the most loyal to the lord.

And this time period is just right, just enough to include the knights into the second batch of students who will be inaugurated as paladins.

The second batch, a total of 500 newcomers who have passed the inspection in all aspects have accepted the inheritance one after another in the past few days, and transformed into a glorious paladin.

Because the lowest is also a trainee professional, so the transfer of the third batch of newborn paladins is very smooth. Although there is no bonus of the sub-dragon blood, the worst is to maintain the original rank and strengthen it, including the original rank. knights.

In fact, chopper occupations such as knights and warriors should be regarded as the easiest occupations to accept the power of paladins among the local occupation types.

Switching to an official priest, mage, etc., the physical attributes are relatively finalized, and Aiwen really dare not guarantee that he can successfully complete the transfer to the official professional level.

For the time being, the territory fell into a general busyness.

Even when Aviana left five days later, Aiwen didn't bother to send it off, but the Druid's reply arrived.

As soon as he returned to the territory a few days ago, Aiwen sent a letter to Druid Lanster with the previously communicated Warcraft messenger to inquire about the plane of death.

It's a pity that judging from the reply, the Druid obviously doesn't understand this aspect of knowledge.

After all, this requires a lot of experience in the astral void, which is undoubtedly what Lanster, a guy who has always stayed at home except for the first few years of traveling, lacks.

"I can only find a chance to go to Waterdeep City again."

Although Ai Wen thought so, it was already a month later when he really took the time to make the trip.

This month, everyone, including Lilith and the young paladins who helped, were so tired that they vomited blood.

If it weren't for Aiwen's frequent infusion of holy light, the old butler might have dedicated himself to death.

But the results of such efforts are also very huge.

It can even be said that the Lions have ushered in a new life!
With sufficient high pressure and the opening of the way with money and welfare, both the transformation and construction and the reform of the army have progressed very smoothly.

The first step of construction and transformation in Lion City has been completed, and the main part of the Basic College has also been completed, and classes can start at any time.

The protective circle and the tower of inheritance were also completely built a few days ago under the overtime work of the construction team of the Protoss Chamber of Commerce.

In terms of the army, among the original 1 soldiers after screening, a total of more than 500 old, weak, sick and disabled who did not meet the standards were eliminated.

After receiving a large sum of gold coins as compensation, these people were all transferred to the garrison teams of various villages.

The original reserve militias were all disbanded on the spot, and this kind of cannon fodder army that was purely for the lord to save money and was mostly farming the land would no longer be established in the future.

The remaining 8000 soldiers, together with the 4000 newly recruited, were disrupted and divided into four [-] purely professional soldier corps.

They are respectively named after the First Army of the Lions, the Second Army of the Lions, the Third Army of the Lions, and the Fourth Army of the Lions.

The military flags all have the head of a lion as the main body, plus the sub-patterns selected by the soldiers.

Among the second batch of 240 paladins, plus the third batch (including those transferred knights) of [-] paladins, [-] people who are interested in the army and have received assault training have now begun to cooperate with the newly established The legion will conduct preliminary running-in and training together.

After the running-in is completed, the outstanding ones of these immature new generation paladins will be the first generation commanders of the new legion.

After finishing all this, Aiwen finally breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

Even as a real existence that can run horses on his shoulders, it still can't prevent him from feeling like he's falling apart.

Sometimes Aiwen himself wonders why he has to worry so much about reviewing documents every day until late at night?
It seems that when he was on earth, he had never worked so hard except for the college entrance examination that year...

But looking at the more and more perfect, powerful, and rich lion leader in his own hands, the paladins and soldiers passing by looked at him with respect from their hearts, and the crowd in front of them continued to laugh and laugh.
An indescribable sense of satisfaction made him suddenly realize that some of the things that had been replaced by promises and love for Lilith had turned into a ball of flames to drive him to keep working crazily. thing

- that is duty and honor
"Is this what those guys always talk about, the monarch, the king's burden? Actually, it feels very good."
