Chapter 250 Inherent Thoughts

After leaving the dwarf's position, Imric planned to go back to Minas Nir to chat about how boring it would be to deal with humanoid creatures all day long. We were born to communicate with dragons, not to coordinate with other people in Imperial language all day long. fighting.

But it was a pity that Minas Nir just lay motionless on the ground and pretended to be dead. No matter how much the dragon lord called, there was no response. Imric, who couldn't bear it, immediately prepared to ask Davian to come over and give this old dragon Singing, just when he was about to page, his body was held by huge dragon claws.

"Shut up, don't bother me when you have nothing to do. I wonder if the old dragon needs more rest." Lao Mi was filled with anger, snorted twice, and pushed Imrik into his tent. Throwing it away, it can be seen that Yao Xinglong is very angry. After all, it has been hit by several Chaos Cannons in the past few days, causing some of its scales to fall off.

A meteor accurately arrived in front of the prince's camp, smashing a hole in the ground at such a fast speed that everyone looked at it. Then they saw the prince patting his butt and standing up as if nothing was wrong.

"Damn, I must be worried that Lao Mi has not found a mate at such an old age. I have to give him some advice when I get back." Imrik complained in his heart, and then secretly nodded in affirmation of this idea. It has been hundreds of years. Without new dragons hatching, Lao Mi must be allowed to make a contribution to the clan. This is one of the responsibilities of the dragon lord. Go back and see if there is anything about the mother in the relics left by the ancestors of the dragon tamers. Books on dragon postpartum care.

However, an unexpected person appeared in front of him, so he asked, "How are those Imperial Knights?"

Bruni, who was standing outside the camp, was not surprised to see the prince coming back in this posture. After all, the only person in Ulthuan who could treat Imrik in this way was the legendary shining star dragon Minas Nir. Otherwise, who would dare? Throw the Dragon Prince out like trash.

He walked up to Imric, nodded slightly and saluted, and said, "It's much better than I expected. Although it looks like a child playing around on horseback, it can still be used."

Noticing Bruni's hesitant expression, knowing that he must not have finished everything, he gestured to go in and talk.

After returning to a familiar place, Imric found a bottle of wine and poured it for Bruni himself. He obeyed his request and gave up the honor of fighting with the dragon. After so many years of dedication, this respect is naturally justified. As it should be.

"I can see that you seem to have some other ideas about those imperial knights." Pouring himself a glass, Imric half leaned on the wooden table, waiting for the answer from his most trusted dragon prince.

Bruni picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He did not drink alcohol during the war. This was a rule he had set for himself. After observing the etiquette, he expressed some emotions,

"Indeed, these Imperial Knights may not be able to compare with the Silver Helmet Knights in terms of handling of some combat details, but they are far superior in numbers. If I were to evaluate them, I would say they are passable in terms of discipline, but their martial arts skills are not. Room for improvement."

The Dragon Prince gave a very high evaluation, which even made Imric feel a little surprised. You must know that as the commander of the Horn of the Sun, Bruni always said that his soldiers were not good, but in fact, they have almost reached the level now. The level of the Silver Helmet Knights is higher than that of the Silver Helmet Knights, and the Silver Helmet Knights are a group of aristocratic children who have been trained since childhood, and are not at the level of citizen riders.

Of course, he did not compare the Dragon Prince and the Imperial Knight. The gap was still quite significant and there was not much comparison.

He opened his mouth and explained some ideas to Bruni, "Perhaps we can let some humans join Caledor's cavalry instead of just being grassroots soldiers."

Imrik thought about this matter for a long time. If Erengrad is defended, at least 30,000 people will be sent to the New World. Plus the people obtained from Arabi, then they can be pulled out. An army of at least three thousand people. Although this number is not large, it is only the beginning, and there will be more later.

The construction cost of Caledor's local cavalry is really too high. The Dragon Prince is a typical example. This is the key target of the palace's investment. The equipment on each person can be bought in the Lothern market. The villa, not to mention those pure-blooded elf war horses and matching horse armor, is simply a moving gold brick.

The Horn of the Sun that he formed himself may not be so expensive, but it still requires a lot of military expenditures. The cost of these two cavalry units alone is enough for him to build another infantry army of ten thousand people. If it is just financial It's okay to say that the problem is solved by returning to Ulthuan to make some money. The main reason is that the population is sparse. If the cavalry is expanded again, it will have to be in accordance with the standards of the Horn of the Sun. If you unfortunately die in battle, you will need to pay for it. It provides a pension and will reduce the necessary labor force to fill the vacancy. The whole country cannot be prepared for war, and necessary production activities must continue.

Under this premise, the future basic cavalry can only be placed on humans. Humans learn much faster than elves. Even if it takes more than ten years to train a group of people to become a qualified cavalry, Imri Ke believes that it is still affordable, and the standard of equipment can be appropriately lowered. There is no need to build mobile gold bricks like the local cavalry.

After hearing Imric's words, Bruni thought for a moment. The prince's desire to use humans to make up for the lack of population in Caledor has been circulating among the high-level officials for a long time. They have also discussed it in private many times. Those who objected to it. There were far more voices than voices of approval. He himself looked down upon these human monkeys, but the prince's next actions required a large population as a basis. Otherwise, so many places would not be turned into open space. Other elven kingdoms could stay away. The wild lands of Ulthuan hold no interest;

"Even if they are used as soldiers, they are only soldiers vassal to Caledor, not a regular military order."

Hearing the answer from the dragon prince next to him, Imrik nodded in agreement, but secretly sighed in his heart.

Even Bruni, who has followed him through life and death many times, is so resistant. It may be a bit difficult to accept humans next. Maybe Alarielle will be able to enlighten them. As a prince, he only knows how to fight. For this kind of Things are really difficult to handle.

Even if the system stipulates that they belong to the military order of the Dragon Palace, it is obvious that the people under their command will not think that they are the same as the Caledor soldiers. This is an inherent idea of ​​cultural differences and traditional concepts, which is difficult to change in a short time. .

"Of course, we only accept humans to make up for the sparse population. Whether it is the colonization of Lustria or the expedition to Nagaroth, a large number of people are needed, and the Caledians cannot be allowed to do meaningless work. "

"As long as you understand this, I firmly believe that the next thing will be smooth sailing."
