Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

"Korran Blackhand!"

Dacus' voice echoed in the hall, and he stretched out his left hand and waved it toward the Army Stand. Following his gesture, everyone's eyes fell on the man.

"Captain of the Black Guard, military rank: Army Division Commander, Commander-in-Chief of the Black Guard."

Today's Corran Blackhand is completely different from his previous image. In the past, he always wore that strange, magical armor, as if he was always ready to face death and challenges on the battlefield. However, today, he did not wear the armor that he sometimes did not take off even when sleeping, but a brand new dress designed by Malekith himself.

This black dress seemed out of place in the Duruchi society, simple, exquisitely tailored, without even pockets, and striving to embody a sense of calm power, almost breaking with the traditions of the past, directing the Duruchis' attention from the ancient robes to unknown styles.

Koulan stood there, his expression normal, calm and unmoved. When all eyes turned to him, he swung his right fist and hit his chest hard. The dull sound of the impact exploded in the silent hall and echoed in everyone's ears.

This is not just a simple action, but also a solemn oath of his military identity, a symbol of strength. The sound of the collision seems to emphasize his identity, and the belief it conveys is as solid as a rock and unshakable.

Then, he slowly raised his right arm in the direction of Malekith and Daxus. His strong arm and powerful movements demonstrated unparalleled confidence and majesty.

Although this action was silent, it was enough to make everyone present feel the heavy power, as if he could use this palm to destroy all obstacles and conquer all enemies for his loyal Witch King at any time.

However, despite all these actions revealing noble spirit, the Drukis in the hall did not show much reaction. Their eyes were calm and calm, and they were not surprised at Koulan's promotion.

After all, in everyone's mind, Corran Blackhand had long been the man who was bound to take this position. His loyalty, experience, achievements, and his unfathomable and ruthless character had already earned him this honor and power.

Unlike Hirsis, who had held many meetings with them before Dacus showed up, but the result was...

Even Kolan himself did not show too much emotion in the face of this honor. His face was still as hard as his armor, cold and calm, like an unshakable statue. There was no excitement in his eyes, just quietly looking at the witch king sitting there and Daquus smiling at him.

He is a capable person who knows how to gain a foothold in the field of power, how to consolidate his position in any environment, and how to manage the Black Guards. However, what he pursues is not the control of power and war, but only one word.

loyalty!

When Kolan sat down, Dacus paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about what to say next, or just lost in thought, lingering on his admiration for Kolan. After all, loyalty is always a valuable quality no matter which world. After a moment, his eyes swept across the people in the hall, and all eyes were focused on him, waiting for the appointment to be announced.

There is a sense of oppressive tension in the air that has never been seen before. Every appointment may mean some profound change, especially in the context of this power reorganization, especially the upcoming appointments related to the military. No one can underestimate the profound meaning behind them, and no one wants to fall behind.

"Next, I will announce the appointment of the Dread Lords. First, the appointment of two mid-level Dread Lords... followed by the appointment of six primary-level Dread Lords." Seeing that the time was almost right, his voice sounded again, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.

As these names were announced, all the Duruchi except the Black Guard system could clearly see one thing: these Dread Lords were originally the Lords of the Black Tower. After being personally selected by Kolan, these Lords transformed themselves into new Dread Lords.

In other words, the Guards system has nothing to do with them...

Da Sizhan and Sizhan correspond to the Grand Marshal and Marshal respectively.

As the champion of Matheran, Dacus naturally became the commander of the Duruchi Navy. And the Sky Chief Nukel, who led Taliondan, was the commander of the war. When Dacus learned the news, he was surprised. He originally thought that Nukel's position was just a deputy position, but...

As the commander of the Black Guards, Koulan's military rank is Si Zhan, which is inevitable. His identity has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become a banner in the Duruchi army.

Apart from these two drivers, Daxus did not announce any other driver appointments. He and Malekith left a space that was full of suspense and could be filled by future developments.

As for the Fear Lords, just as Daxus originally designed it, there have been some changes, and the system has been further refined, divided into high-level Fear Lords, mid-level Fear Lords and low-level Fear Lords, corresponding to the admiral, lieutenant general and major general respectively.

A low-level dreadlord is responsible for commanding a legion, while a mid-level dreadlord is responsible for commanding a larger legion.

Druch's military is still in the rebuilding stage, and many important organizations and corps are still in the initial framework construction stage.

In Dacus's plan, the initial goal was to quickly form three large legions of the Guards, and then cooperate with the previously formed large legions to deal with the weakness that Druki might face during the reorganization process. However, Malekith objected, believing that the existing number of Black Guards was too small to support the framework of three large legions, and two legions were already at their limit.

Facts have proved that Malekith was right. Up to now, the two large legions can only be said to have established a framework, but are far from being fully staffed. There is still a long way to go before they can exert their full combat effectiveness.

Of course, whether it is two or three, this is a small problem. Anyway, it will be expanded later. Malekith means to ensure that the Guards have six large legions, with a size of about 120,000 to 30,000 people.

Dacus calculated that if the base number is 800,000, 120,000 to 30,000 people would account for 15%, which is undoubtedly a healthy and reasonable number. It is an ideal balance point, which will not be over-expanded and will not cause other problems.

"For now, the appointment of other Dread Lords is temporarily put on hold to give you... some room for imagination." Daxus' tone was somewhat meaningful. He paused slightly and glanced at everyone present. "You may all know that only the strong ones who truly stand at the forefront can win higher honors and opportunities, and the Duruchi society has never lacked ambitious and adventurous people."

"According to the plan, the army will be expanded to 800,000 before launching the attack. Everyone..."

However, before he could even pull it out, let alone finish his words, the hall was already boiling. The voices of discussion poured out like a flood, instantly engulfing the entire space. The originally orderly atmosphere instantly collapsed, replaced by a clamor of panicked discussions and heated voices.

Eight hundred thousand?

Eight hundred thousand!

What concept?

Eight hundred thousand versus six hundred thousand…

no……

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Those who were originally scheming and good at political schemes were shocked by this almost unimaginable number. They stopped planning and focused their attention on this point. Dacus could clearly hear some people breathing rapidly and heavily, obviously they were shocked by the sudden news and could not calm down.

Almost everyone could clearly feel that 800,000 was a huge force that was enough to change the existing rules. How many troops did Ulthuan have in total? This number aroused an indescribable mixture of fear and excitement in everyone's heart.

Recalling the time of the Great Sundering, the troops of the Kingdom of Naggaroth and those brought back by Alandrian from Elsin Alvin, together with the vassal forces of the Kingdom of Terenlock, totaled no more than 100,000, barely exceeding 200,000, and were simply no match for the terrifying force of 800,000.

The peak period of Druch's military strength is now, with a little over 200,000 troops, and they are striving to reach 300,000. This includes the army, navy, and mercenaries. The forces are mixed, the combat effectiveness is extremely uneven, and there are huge problems in scheduling and command.

And now, eight hundred thousand!

This number kept echoing in everyone's mind, like thunder, and it was difficult to erase.

The Druchi present understood what the 800,000 men Daxus was referring to. They had participated in the battles of Gorond and Har Gansi, especially in the field battles with Har Gansi's troops. The large legions reorganized with Clarkarond and Hag Graves as the main force played a huge role in the battle.

It was a large army of nearly 20,000 people, consisting of infantry, crossbows, cavalry, engineers, transports, cold lizard knights, war beasts, and warlocks. It was an army that was so luxurious that it could not be more luxurious, and an army that the noble families could not afford.

Soon, they got a set of numbers. A large army had nearly 20,000 people, which meant 40 large armies. According to the configuration announced by the Witch King's Hand, there would be 40 mid-level Dread Lords. After removing the Guards and Valar, there would still be nearly 30 vacancies. And these were only the mid-level Dread Lords. There were more gaps for the primary Dread Lords.

There is also the high-level Dread Lord who has never appeared! Even Si Zhan.

Eltharion and Bel-Ahor, who were arranged in the religious area, looked at each other again, their eyes full of solemnity, worry and shock. Although their faces were full of complex emotions, in the end, they could only shake their heads helplessly. Apart from the powerlessness at this moment, what else could they do? Stand up and accuse Dacreus? Find a chance to assassinate Dacreus? Or find a chance to run back to Ulthuan and issue a warning?

They both knew that all this was in vain. In this game, all they could do now was to watch everything happen and could not change anything. As for the future...

The red dragons were equally shocked. The size of this 800,000-man army was completely beyond their imagination. What did this mean? How many breaths of dragon breath would it take to destroy this huge army? They simply couldn't imagine how much power it would take to defeat such a huge force.

After the initial shock, the two brothers Agatagus and Akregon looked at each other, and a meaningful smile gradually appeared on the corners of their mouths. At this moment, they made a decision.

They were not prepared to become retainers of a certain family, nor were they prepared to just eat and drink for free in Naggaroth, waiting to go into battle when the need arose.

They were going to join the army of Duruchi as planned, become a Red Dragon Lord, and lead a powerful army to conquer the world. Thinking of this, the two brothers were filled with uncontrollable excitement. After all, such a decision was a brand new adventure for them, full of challenges and glory.

Not only the two brothers, but many red dragons present also strengthened their determination at this moment. This was a cool challenge for them and they found it hard to resist.

Daxus was quite satisfied with the effect. Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, he turned his head slightly and met Malekith's eyes as he sat on the throne.

Malekith did not hesitate at all. He stretched out his right hand and raised it high. In an instant, order was restored in the hall. Silence once again enveloped the entire hall, and everyone's eyes were focused on Daquus.

As the atmosphere calmed down, Dacus began to announce the heads of various academies. The tasks of these academies mainly focused on training, equipment use and tactical research, with the aim of cooperating with Taliondan to complete the training, training and research of the army.

As he called out the names one by one, each newly appointed leader drew different reactions. Most of them were warriors who had embarked on the journey to Orbion and Elsin Alvin with him. They had personally experienced many thrilling battles, and now they would continue their mission in Duruchi's army.

Not long ago, Bainie, who had returned from the north, found Koulan. The two of them entered a soundproof room, and soon after, they walked out of the room. It is unknown what happened in between, and the result... is unknown. Those who knew about their conflict were very tacit, keeping silent, and did not ask them what happened, and who won in the end.

Bainie was appointed as the chief officer, holding the main position, while Shakara served as the deputy.

Next, Kladin was assigned to specialize in chariots, Celile was in charge of cold lizards, and Jaeger focused on animal taming. This series of appointments demonstrated the extreme attention to detail of the Duruchi army, and the unremitting efforts to cultivate each specialized skill.

As for Kallion...he is currently assisting Adrel van Maris.

Who is Adrel?

Kaiya's cousin. (Appears in Chapter 584)

Adrel was essentially an animal trainer, but he was not given enough space to display his talents in Lauren Loren. During his tenure in the human court, he served as the chief hunter, responsible for instructing the children of the nobles in archery, preparing and organizing hunting activities, and taking care of and training horses and hunting dogs.

Daxus was impressed by Adrel's ability to train hounds. Different from the wild beasts released on the battlefield, what the Druchi army needed were some well-trained hounds, similar to military dogs, to be assigned to the troops responsible for guard missions and the Black Knights of the Imperial Order.

Although the little lizards from Lustria also have the ability to be alert, they are from Naggaroth and cannot adapt to the cold environment here. Moreover, the number of lizards is already scarce, and it takes a long time to train them. By then, I will have to hang a thermos on my belt? Well, this method is not suitable.

Goose……

Is that okay?

The hearing of geese is far superior to that of dogs, and can even rival the detection capabilities of some electronic devices. Geese are very suitable for performing vigilance tasks. They can patrol, detect abnormalities and promptly alert their owners.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In fact, geese have long been widely used in the military, and there are many examples of this in history. In a certain version of a movie about Napoleon, there was a scene where an old soldier carrying a goose on his back chatted with Napoleon.

This goose is specially used for warning. Of course, when necessary, it can also be used for other purposes, such as the whole iron pot...

But geese and druchi are like basketballs and chickens…

The animal trainers in Duruchi raised wolves, giant wolves, but they did not research them into military dogs.

When Dacus was wandering in the dangerous peaks, he was attacked by a pack of giant wolves. At that time, he shot and killed the leader of the giant wolves with his own hands. The ferocity and threat of the giant wolf left a very deep impression on him.

He planned to have Adrel and Kallion tame the giant wolves and breed dogs similar to wolfhounds to provide to the Duruchi army and to guard important places. After these giant wolves became wolfhounds, the two brothers would have some experience, and he planned to put Adrel into the officer system.

There are not many people on Anil's side.

After further study, Talos will become the first few waves of Dread Lords. The team will mainly consist of family members and newly promoted Duruchi officers. Later, they will be split up and added to Adrel's troops.

Apart from the two of them, there was no one else on Anil's side, so it seemed that they had to write more letters to keep in touch. Dacius wanted to ensure that Anil, who stood on his side, had a certain say in the army, not for now, but for the convenience of arguing with Malekith's relative after he came to rule Ulthuan. Malekith agreed with this and fully supported it.

Karahir will stay with him for the time being as his adjutant. Once he has trained and matured enough, he will be assigned to a new position. From the current perspective, he is most likely to be in charge of the army's logistics.

As for Kallion...he doesn't have a clear position yet, so it all depends on his own ideas.

Daxus could sense that Kallion actually wanted to stay by his side forever. For this reason, Kallion even gave up the big cake of the Maserlan belief system, but the problem was... those days were over, and perhaps they would never be experienced again.

At present, wolfhounds can be said to be the last piece of the puzzle, or an indispensable component, of the Druch army.

wrong……

Previously, when Malekith was chatting with him, he said that the specifications of the carriages customized in the continent of Lustria were not good enough and there were problems. Specific modifications were needed. The carriages needed to be divided into three types: light, medium and heavy to suit different needs and tasks.

The light carriage is specially used to transport light supplies, medical equipment, etc., with a load capacity of 500-750 kilograms. It uses wooden spoke wheels with a diameter of about 1.2 meters. The body is made of wood and partially covered with canvas. It only needs 1 to 2 horses to pull it. It is light and flexible, and is particularly suitable for crossing complex terrain.

The medium-sized carriage has a more diverse range of tasks, suitable for transporting food, ballistas, arrows, medium-sized supplies, field kitchens, wounded soldiers, etc., with a load capacity of 1,000-1,500 kg. It uses wooden or steel spoke wheels with a diameter of about 1.5 meters. The body is still made of wood, but some detachable side panels make it more flexible. It requires 2 to 4 horses to pull it, and its characteristics are strong versatility. It will be the main carriage of the Duruchi army.

Heavy carriages are mainly used to transport important materials such as twisted cannons, engineering equipment, and large supply boxes. They are specially designed for use at the large legion level. They can carry 2,000-3,000 kg and use steel spoke wheels with a diameter of about 1.8 meters. The body is made of reinforced wood or a steel-wood hybrid structure and requires 4 to 6 horses to pull it. Its carrying capacity is very strong, but its mobility is relatively poor. It is suitable for large-scale logistical support and heavy transportation.

There are no separate settings for medical carriages, communication carriages, cooking carriages, etc.

Dacus did not have too many questions about this, and of course he did not take over the matter. He left the details such as whether to use steel wheels to enhance durability, whether to use solid rubber or iron hoop tires to adapt to muddy and snowy conditions, and whether to equip spring shock absorbers to Bainer.

He only cared about two data: load weight and vehicle capacity. He needed these two data to design a standard material box.

As for the Black Knights of the Order, after discussing with Malekith, it was decided that Malekith would be in charge, and there would be no separate person in charge. In wartime, the Black Knights of the Order would be assigned to the mid-level Dread Lords, and when organizing a battle, the specific assignment method would be decided by Malekith, whether to form a cavalry unit like in wartime, or to fill the gap between the Cold Lizard Cavalry and the Dark Riders.

What does the Black Knight of the Imperial Order usually do? (Chapters 401-404)

As for the Cold Onet Knights, they split and reorganized the Ebony Claws of Clar Karond and the Cold Onet Knights scattered among the various families of Hag Graef, forming multiple battle groups.

Each battle group consists of a century of eight Cold One Chariots, two centuries of Cold One Knights, two centuries of Dark Riders, and a logistics century.

The Cold Lizard Battle Group is a bit similar to Sandezi's heavy armored battalion. The Cold Lizard chariots and knights are Drucci's heavy tanks. They are only responsible for one thing: charge!

Dark Riders are responsible for guarding, patrolling, collecting information about the terrain, and preventing Cold Lizard Knights from rushing into muddy places. In battle, Dark Riders will cover the flanks of Cold Lizard Knights or provide long-range support. When the number of Cold Lizard Knights decreases, Dark Riders who perform well on weekdays will be given priority to be added to the Cold Lizard Knight team.

As the name suggests, the duties of the 100-man logistics team are to repair vehicles, care for the wounded, and handle logistical supplies.

In normal times, the Cold Lizard War Group will be led by the core members of the Bloodthirsty Order led by Celile and the Darkness Order led by Kradin. In wartime, they will be deployed by high-level Dread Lords and assigned to mid-level Dread Lords who command large armies according to specific circumstances.

As for the Legion, not much has changed, and it still maintains the original structure in Asheril (Chapter 178).

The only change is the addition of the cavalry, which will be composed of 20 dark rider centurions, without a general commander, and will be deployed by mid-level dread lords. During the march, the cavalry will serve as the mobile force of the large army and will be organized before the battle.

The five cavalry centuries in the legion remain unchanged and are still commanded by the junior dreadlord who commands the legion.

The Kledan system remains unchanged and still operates as it was, with Serpentmen assigned to Kledan and Dreadlords at all levels. (Chapters 404, 553, 579)

In terms of officer training, Seonlan is responsible for the training of the young court; the management of the middle court is temporarily taken over by Ms. Viena; as for the affairs of the upper court, Malekith is personally responsible.

This is Malekith, who can work 24 hours a day without sleeping, eating, drinking, defecating or urinating, and can work non-stop, a veritable iron man! If it were Dacus, he would have been finished long ago.

Of course, this is also the treatment plan provided by the psychologist Daxus to Malekith. At least after working non-stop, he doesn't have to think about trivial things all day long.

As for the war beasts, after some in-depth discussions, it was decided to abandon the original beasts and banshees, and even forget about the manticores, and only keep the behemoths and Scourgewalker chariots used for charging. At a certain point in time, we will make as many behemoths as possible before the battle, and use them as consumables during the reign of Ulthuan.

After that... do you know about tanks?

The organization of the war beasts will be similar to that of the Cold Lizard battle group, but the specific arrangement still needs to be concluded in subsequent exercises.

On the Asrai side, Tyrandor and Athelin follow Malekith and are familiar with various affairs. In the future, they will be promoted to Dread Lords in the next wave and enter the military system.

Likewise, Eltharion also followed Malekith, and the follow-up...

As for Kaluna and Kerillian...they are a little special.

So far…

The Drucci Army is fully organized!

Six dimensions are fully utilized! Possessing the ability to cope with various situations, both offensive and defensive.

A large army is composed of infantry, cavalry, engineers, transports, military police, cold lizard war groups, war beasts and warlocks, equipped with crossbows, twister cannons and a large number of carriages, and more new types of equipment may be added in the future.

In Daxus's opinion, there is absolutely no problem using cold weapons in battle, but cold weapons also have their own ways of playing, and this is what he does and the answer he gives.

As for the sequel... the truth will be revealed on the battlefield. (End of this chapter)
