"The new corps will have four corps under its jurisdiction. Each corps will perform its own duties and perform military affairs within its own scope of authority to cope with more complex situation changes in the future."
As soon as this statement came out, except for Captain Wenda, who had already known the inside story, the other four people were startled.
Robinson Ser soon had a flash of clarity. He had been consulted privately by Earl before, and had a vague premonition.
After the previous increase in troops, Commander Pikemen Corps, who held four regiments with a total of 2,000 professional soldiers, Duncan Ser, was more obviously stunned.
He is not worried about his status change, but he is not sure whether Lord Titus's move to reorganize the legion will affect the combat effectiveness of the original legion.
Rosso·Brune straightened his back, not having many other thoughts in his mind, but his intuition told him:
It seems like you are about to be promoted again?
In this way, wouldn't he be able to get a salary increase again?!
As the strongest newcomer of House Peake, Rosso Knight is very proud.
What's "Mad Hunter" Dodge? He just joined the team a few days before me. To see if he would dare to claim to be a senior in the future, Aegon·Leveille stood next to Rosso. His heart tightened and his expression became more solemn.
His previous speculation was confirmed. He quickly calmed down and listened carefully to what Master Earl said.
Titus didn't pay attention to the four people with different expressions, and calmly reached out to open the drawer on the side of the desk and took out a flat wooden box.
He placed the flat wooden box in the center of the table, turned the box so that the opening faced the four knights in front of the table, and then slowly opened the top cover.
The space inside the box is not large, on the contrary, it is very shallow.
Four iron tokens inlaid with gold patterns are neatly arranged inside. The surface of each token is engraved with a completely different relief pattern, and is also outlined and embellished with gold lines.
Titus was the first to pick up the first token.
The card is engraved with the image of "Sword of Conquest", which is two straight long swords crossing each other, quite similar to the pair of steel swords Rosso often carries behind his back.
He signaled David Robinson Drillmaster to come forward. "Ser, you have followed the family for many years and served two Earl of Starpikes. You are experienced and experienced and good at training soldiers and training military formations.
This Sword of Crusade "Token is yours. From today on, you are the leader of the newly established Training Corps regiment, responsible for training new recruits and training peasant soldiers during non-busy farming seasons to lay a solid foundation for the New Legion."
Robinson Ser stepped forward with moved eyes, took the token solemnly with both hands, and bowed in salute. "I will not disgrace my trust and let Master Earl down!"
Titus nodded slightly and picked up the second token. Engraved on it was the picture of "two bright thorn roses cuddling each other." The shape of the petals is soft, but the thorns are slightly sharp, which seems to symbolize perseverance and protection.
He handed the iron sign to Duncan Vick, the second person who came forward. "Duncan Ser, you are stationed at Starpike all year round, or you travel to the border mountains and lead the soldiers to quickly integrate into actual combat----
In the entire castle, you are the most familiar with the perimeter defense system.
Later, when he went out to fight with me, he was also calm and reliable, and his advance and retreat were well-founded.
This "guarding rose" token belongs to you. You will take charge of Garrison Corps among the New Legion for me, and command the standing troops stationed throughout the family territory. While guarding against invasion by foreign enemies, you will also shoulder the important task of ensuring peace within the territory."
Duncan Ser looked serious, took the token with both hands, and responded in a deep voice, "I obey my orders! Protecting Starpike and protecting House Peake has always been the mission of the Wickwood knight!"
Titus nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the third sign.
On the surface of the gold-inlaid iron plate, there are blue and white wings spread out alternately, which are light and energetic, symbolizing swiftness and agility.
He threw the token to Rosso·Brune who couldn't help but stepped forward quickly, and the latter took it accurately.
"Rosso, you have made many military exploits since you joined my bodyguard, you act swiftly, aggressively, and have good insight. I will give you this Wings of Freedom" sign.
You will serve as the regiment commander of Survey Corps, responsible for out-of-field reconnaissance, gathering intelligence, tracking enemy situations, assaulting targets and other related military tasks, as well as providing guidance for the overall operations of the regiment."
Rosso accepted the token excitedly, but did not forget to bow and express his gratitude. "Thank you for your trust, sir! I will do my best to be worthy of this brand - and the current salary!"
Titus smiled back and picked up the fourth and last token. The pattern on this side was "the head of a Unicorn".
It looks majestic and solemn, and seems to symbolize justice and authority.
He looked at Aegon·Leveille, who was holding his breath, and slowly pushed the token in his direction. "Aegon Ser, you have good combat prowess, are loyal, and are good at commanding the cavalry. This token of "one horn of law enforcement" belongs to you.
You will serve as the military police officer of the Peak family and be in charge of military discipline; at the same time, you are also the commander of a regular cavalry regiment at the head of Star Shuttle City. When war comes, you will charge for me and specialize in driving operations."
The Aegon knight from Glenvale was shocked, and his eyes burst out with uncontrollable excitement.
From what I heard, I knew that his power could restrain the three corps commanders at the same level as him in front of him, not to mention that he could control the cavalry unit during the war.
For a time, Aegon Ser thought of a lot - back then, Titus Earl also served as the cavalry commander of the coalition forces of Stormlands and Starpike. The importance of positions in this field can be imagined.
Cavalry, especially heavy cavalry, is the most important in Westeros wars. In frontal battles, no other arms can compare with heavy cavalry.
Aegon With complicated emotions, his hands shook slightly but he firmly picked up the token. At that moment, he had mixed feelings.
It seems that he has not only entered the inner circle of Earl of Starpike, but has also been trusted and reused in ways he never imagined, which makes his desire to follow him even stronger.
He bowed deeply. "Subordinates - I will do my best to abide by the military disciplines of all regiments for Lord Earl!"
All four brands were sent out, and Titus leaned back into the soft cushions.
Then, Titus explained to the four of them their respective scope of functions and the number of personnel in the regiment under their command.
Robinson Drillmaster's Training Corps mostly does his own job.
The difference is that Titus specifically gave him a quota of two hundred soldiers, allowing him to build no less than six training stations based on these two hundred instructor-type pacesetters within the territory covered by Starpike's influence.
It doesn't matter whether it's a government soldier or a garrison.
Titus intends to normalize the pre-war militia training activities, using the free time during non-busy farming periods to conduct drills for young farmers reported from various villages in the territory.
These are all high-quality sources of troops.
If you train well, once the war breaks out again, you can serve as Peake New Legion's backup force and immediately replenish it.
For those who are not well trained, their collective action quality is higher than that of conscripts from other areas. It seems a bit wasteful to use them to do logistical chores, but they are indeed good candidates for heavy-duty soldiers or auxiliary soldiers.
Some craftsmen with special skills can also register in advance and be selected as fortification troops during wartime, instead of being issued wooden guns and losing their lives in vain on the battlefield.
Duncan Garrison Corps of Ser is also based on the Pikemen Corps of the previous two thousand people.
During non-war times, troops are stationed and stationed in various places; when war breaks out, they are mobilized and gathered together for collective battles. They are still House Peake's most reliable elite infantry.
Before the results of Training Corps come out, the original four wings of Garrison Corps will not undergo major changes. Gino, Parker, Finley, and Bowen will still serve as wing captains.
When more troops are added in the future, there will definitely be changes. The new captains will also be promoted from within the corps. There are many good talents among those centurions.
As for Rosso's Survey Corps, it was built based on the key strategic needs of the next stage, and Rosso's own past experience also made him the first choice in Titus's mind.
The family he and his father belong to is House Brune of Brownhollow. Their family emblem is a brown bear paw on a white background, which belongs to the branch of Dyre Den House Brune.
The territory of this knight family is located in the Crackclaw Point area of Crownlands. The terrain there is full of mountains and jungles. Many people call the family there "half-Wildlings" nobles.
In fact, the lords and people there are indeed self-contained and never trust any outsiders.
Most of them are descendants of First Men. Back then, Andals tried to seize Crackclaw Point, but encountered obstacles everywhere due to the terrain. Finally, they realized that they could use marriage to win things that could not be obtained with swords.
Of course, there are also those who do not believe in evil.
The kings of Duskendale House Darklyn, House Mooton of Maidenpool, and later House Celtigar of Claw Isle, all tried to use force to conquer the forest land of Crackclaw Point, but their actions were defeated by the locals.
And when the residents of the peninsula are not fighting foreign enemies, they will kill each other internally to "exercise" their war capabilities.
The blood feud between several families is as dark and deep as a swamp in the mountains. Brune, Bob, Guts, Keifer, Hardy, Paine, and the Whispers's Kleb, they have always been enemies of each other.
Unless a certain hero occasionally appears, he will bring short-term peace to Crackclaw Point with his extremely high personal charm and constant victory. But after he dies, everything will return to its original state.
It's always been a mess over there.
Until the period of "Aegon's Conquest", Aegon's sister and his eldest brother Queen Visenya·Targaryen entered Crackclaw Point for recruitment.
The superstitious lords who had lived outside civilization for a long time saw the real dragon and heard about the fate of King Heron. For the first time, they simply and decisively surrendered. Visenya Queen also accepted them as their direct vassals.
From then on, the Crackclaw Point people have always been loyal to House Targaryen, and they call themselves "model subjects of the giant House Targaryen clan".
As the saying goes, once a person who never kneels does kneel down, his loyalty will last far longer than a person with weak bones.
In view of the complex terrain and Visenya Queen, Iron Throne never taxed the nearby Crackclaw Point, and various "semi-Wildlings" noble families always united around the royal family.
Members of his family often appear in important positions of Kingsguard and Royal Fleet.
Rosso·Brune As a descendant of the "half Wildlings" nobles, not only is his swordsmanship wild, he also learned many secrets of mountain warfare and lurking in the woods from his father.
This is the knowledge passed down from father to son in the knight family, and it is also the survival skill passed down from generation to generation by Crackclaw Point people.
In the leisure time during the previous war, Titus had accidentally bumped into Rosso·Brune communicating with Haier·Hunter and others.
After asking Haier Ser, he confirmed that Rosso was underestimated again.
Four major corps:
