Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

The reason why an empire can be called an empire is not because of advanced technology, nor because of developed culture, nor because of the ability to build wonders.

In other words, the above are all one of the reasons, but only the other reason created by these reasons together is the real reason why the empire is called an empire.

That means being able to fight, being able to fight very well, being able to fight in such a way that simply using martial virtue is not enough to describe him.

Because the temporary martial virtues are not enough for the empire to last for nearly a thousand years, even if it is often in chaos internally and there are various coups and palace battles, it can still suppress all the surrounding countries.

The Badanians were driven into the jungle, and the Fiona Knights galloping in the wilderness became forest bandits who did not know how to ride a horse but only knew how to bend a bow.

As descendants of the Nords, the Sturgians only dare to stay in the frozen soil in the north of the empire, experiencing the same coldness as in their hometown.

Every generation of kings of Vlandia must be loyal to the imperial emperor as courtiers. Even though the coastline they manage makes their territory and wealth as much as that of the empire, they still dare not proclaim themselves emperor.

The grassland people struggling on the grassland fought to their death for the scraps donated by the imperial nobles. Even though countless grassland people starved to death every year, they would rather fight with each other than dare to cross the river to go to the empire. The territory of the valley is threshed.

The desert people in the south only wanted to do business, and never thought about using their Mamluks to compete with the imperial people.

In other words, someone once thought about it, and many people once thought about challenging the majesty of the empire.

But almost everyone became a withered skeleton in the grave.

The things placed in the Guardian Temple are the most direct evidence.

Thousands of years of invincibility have made the people of the empire so proud that they don't even care what their empire is called. They only need to know the word "empire".

Because no other country in this land dares to call itself an "empire"

However, this arrogance was shattered by the Battle of Pandrak, known as "Neretse's Folly" a few years ago.

The emperor died in battle, and the imperial dragon flag was broken.

Although these did not completely break the backbone of the Imperial people, they also made the Imperial people find that their arrogance had become a castle in the air.

The Sturgians frequently moved south, and horse bandits on the grasslands appeared in villages on the edge of the empire from time to time, making countless people in the empire feel the pain of leaving their hometowns.

The merchants of Aserai dared to point arrogantly at the Empire, but the Imperial people could only endure it and could not just throw such people into sacks and throw them into the Colosseum as they had done before.

For the sake of the stability of his own rule, and also to divert the anger of the imperial people, Arenicos, the husband of the former emperor and Queen Gaia, blamed the failure of that battle on the Praetorian Guards.

The Central Army, which had been the pillar of the empire for nearly a thousand years, was disbanded.

It is true that the throne is stable, but it also makes the empire lose hope of regaining its lost glory, and also lays the foundation for the empire to be divided into three.

When Ella announced on the radio that she was going to war against all nations, among the excited empire residents, the first group of people to pledge their allegiance to Ella were the former Imperial Guards who called themselves "Embers" after they were disbanded.

And it's the kind of loyalty that involves bringing your own weapons and selling off your property.

I can't wait to rush to the battlefield the next day and take back the glory that belongs to the empire.

In addition to these former Imperial Guards, other residents of the Imperial City also had similar attitudes... If Ella hadn't opened the draft yet, the number of people actively joining the army would have made Greena, who was in charge of logistics, so tired that she vomited blood.

In fact, Greena was so tired that she vomited blood.

People in the imperial capital found that they had no way to join the army, so they took out their money...or directly took out their family property to donate to the new emperor.

Those who had no money could only provide some manpower. The imperial capital workshop that had almost stopped due to military control started to emit black smoke again.

The blacksmiths took out their treasured materials, ate the rations, and swung their hammers to build cart after cart of wootz steel weapons and armor.

Although I don't understand why the success rate of the craftsmanship has become higher this time, and it has doubled, I just think it is because the blacksmiths who have improved their skills have pushed their works to the entrance of the palace.

At the same price as giving it away for free, or simply giving it to the new emperor for free.

Some of the blacksmiths even had a fight over who would deliver it first, and were dragged away by the soldiers before the winner could be decided. They had no choice but to make an agreement to meet at the Colosseum.

It can be said that the income from this trip alone is several times greater than the income from the previous "big eaters".

"Is this the so-called 100% increase in productivity under war conditions?" Ella said with some emotion.

Looking at the income calculated by Greena, who almost vomited blood, Ella, who originally thought that she was not strong enough to declare war on all nations, suddenly became confident.

"...I think it's more than that." Milin said as he looked at the Utz steel sword in his hand.

Perhaps the craftsmanship has not disappeared due to the decline of the empire. Although there is no systematic integration, the weapons created by these different craftsmen are surprisingly consistent in format.

Although wootz steel is a very common mineral in this world, this commonness is relative to the earth.

Coupled with the complex forging process itself, there are basically no armies that use wootz steel to make standard weapons.

And with the contributions of these blacksmiths, plus the total follow-up supply they guaranteed, it would be no problem to directly form a five-digit wootz steel army.

"Give these weapons and the people with the embers to Arthur. If there are not enough people, recruit some people from the city. Follow the rules of father and son, father, brother, brother, only child is not recruited." Milin Said to Ella.

"Well, but Arthur's side..." Ella didn't express any opinion on Milin's very classical and age-old recruitment requirements. Ella was worried about Arthur.

On the one hand, Arthur is a Battanian, so will there be any problem of convincing the public?

On the other hand, Arthur has not been registered as Milin's backup candidate for the Sky Garden so far.

Loyalty is an issue.

"I will recruit about three hundred more armored cavalry, twice the number of Darahan cavalry, a corresponding number of retinue knights, and an equal number of infantry for all cavalry."

Milin did not answer Ella's doubts, but talked about the recruitment of system soldiers:

"The types of infantry are based on the ratio of shield soldiers, spearmen and crossbowmen."

"Who will be responsible?" Ella, who knew why Milin wanted to separate the system soldiers and the local militia, did not ask Arthur's loyalty again.

This time, there were nearly two thousand more cavalry and the same number of infantry. Even if Arthur wanted to cause trouble, he could easily destroy them with his backhand.

Ella didn't think that the so-called army armed with Utz steel could be a match for the system soldiers summoned by Milin.

"The cavalry will be given to Attila, and the infantry will be given to Alori." Milin's answer did not surprise Ella. In other words, at present, there are only a few of Milin's soldiers who can safely control these system soldiers.

"Can the armored cavalry and the Darahan cavalry work together?" Ella asked.

"I don't know, but I believe in Shanyu's ability." Milin said to Aila.

"Yes." Ella also believed in Attila's control over the cavalry. If the Whip of God cannot even control the cavalry, is it still the Whip of God?

"Don't forget to leave some armored cavalry for yourself." Milin said to Ella.

"Don't worry, I will be careful..." Aila, who knew that Milin was concerned about her personal safety, smiled slightly. However, the smile was only half revealed when she noticed the meaning of Milin's words and immediately said:

"Wait a minute, what are you going to do, Admiral?"

"I plan to travel to another world for a few days." Milin answered directly without any concealment.

"???"
