In a blink of an eye, there was only less than half a month left before Richard and Stephanie's wedding.

Since November, the lively atmosphere of preparing for the wedding has also arrived with the cold wind. The palace general in charge of setting up the scenes, Mageri, and the palace general of the Kingdom of Lavana also went to Kuban in person to meet the king in Nuremberg. Brandenburg on the hill is busy.

And the cardinal Peter Scanrell, who was going to be the host, also sent his entourage to prepare religious instruments for the church preparation ceremony in Nuremberg. During this time, the inner hall of the Nuremberg church was temporarily closed until Richard's wedding is over.

At the same time, the garrison on Kuban Island also began to enter martial law. The soldiers strictly checked foreign personnel. The navy, which had been silent for a long time, also left the station, patrolling the surrounding waters and driving away any suspicious ships. It can be said that during this period, the law and order on Kuban Island was unprecedentedly good. In fact, Richard did not agree that he was so nervous. In his eyes, Kuban Island was his hometown. The residents who lived on it were undoubtedly people who were very loyal and supportive of Richard. They saw that Richard was going to be here. It's too late to have a wedding in your homeland, so how can it be ruined?

However, if you don't manage what Chad thinks, his people will not change this behavior. In their eyes, only Richard's safety is the most important.

...As the wedding preparations were in full swing, Richard's legion reforms also began to be implemented. This legion reform will not involve finances, so the chief financial officer Walcom has no objection.

Here, let’s talk about the composition of the First Corps. The First Corps consisted of 20 companies with spear sergeants, 33 heavy sergeants, 20 walking imperial knight companies, and 20 civilian bows and arrows. Hand Company, 22 Civilian Crossbowmen Company, 23 Great Shield Crossbowmen Company, 12 Hand Artillery Company, 16 Horse Sergeant Company, 20 Chain Knight Company, 15 Imperial Knight Company , Twenty Teutonic Knights companies, nine Ballista companies, and five Arquebus companies, of which four siege artillery companies and five heavy siege artillery companies are attached.

So many companies add up to a total of 20186 soldiers, but due to continuous war reductions, this army consisting entirely of the Holy Roman Empire has nearly 18,000 soldiers left, of which 20 companies have 2,000 soldiers. Several spear sergeants and five companies with three hundred chain-armored knights were deployed in Prang, the capital of the Cunha region, and five heavy sergeants companies were sent to the Ulif Silver Mine to perform necessary guard and guard tasks.

Because of the dispersion of the legion, Richard gave birth to the idea of ​​legion reform. He wanted to imitate the Roman legion and add a brigade on the basis of the company (the company in Richard’s legion is the centuries in the traditional sense. Using the company settings of a mod called htb in Medieval 2). According to Richard’s vision, an ordinary infantry battalion should contain five companies, and the commander of the battalion is for the nobles among the five. There is no way, because in the medieval tradition, only the nobles can command the army. .

The same is true for the knights. Five companies form a brigade. The brigade commander is the person with the highest rank among the captains of the five companies. Richard was canonized as the baron of Keeneburg, and he happened to be the only baron of the five company commanders, so he was the group commander of the group. However, if the five commanders are all fief knights or barons, then the five of them should choose their own commanders. As for the companies equipped with firearms, they are not affected by the reform, because they were unified into the firearms battalion by Richard before that, and the arquebus commander Sandro served as the battalion officer.

After talking about the First Army, let's talk about the composition of the Second Army by the way. The Second Army had ten spear militia companies, eleven Nordic swordsman companies, sixteen sword spear militia companies, five heavy sergeant companies, five dismounted feudal knight companies, five dismounted chivalric knight companies, and six Dismounted tomahawk cavalry company, four Nordic axe companies, eight civilian archer companies, six crossbowmen companies, eight crossbow militia companies, six Nordic archer companies, six scout companies, and six chivalrous knights Companies, four feudal knight companies, three crossbow cavalry companies, and finally six catapult companies and eight siege scale companies.

The total number of the Second Corps was originally 10,920 soldiers, but experienced war attrition and company destruction and abolition of the establishment, so now there are only 9,000 soldiers left. Due to the particularity of the number of companies included in the Second Army, the number of companies included in the group is not unified to five, but according to the situation. If there are more, the group will be expanded, while the Nordic axe soldier has only four. The company can only be organized into four companies as a large group, and the crossbow cavalry with a smaller number of companies is three companies as a large group.

Of course ~lightnovelpub.net~ The last catapult company and the siege scale company will not be formed into a brigade, because they are directly managed by the legion commander.

Speaking of the Second Army, we have to mention their commander Charles. After the war, Charles had no reason to stay in the Second Army garrison, so Richard directly transferred him back and rested at Nord. Fort is his military commander.

After reforming the composition of the legion, Richard also proposed the establishment of the legion logo. The idea of ​​setting up the legion logo was not only because of the establishment in the Roman legion he referred to, but also because the main force of the Republic of Cunha was captured in the previous war. The magic deer flag made of gold, the establishment of a flag can very well condense the morale and conviction of the soldiers of the legion, and can also inspire the soldiers to fight bravely in the war. Therefore, Richard thought about assigning exclusive flags to the two legions. After discussing with Charles who returned to Nord City, he finally made a decision. The soldiers in the First Legion were all from the Holy Roman Empire. , So the two-headed eagle flag made of gold (similar to the Roman eagle flag) was issued to the First Army, and most of the soldiers of the Second Army were from the Kingdom of Denmark in Scandinavia, so they were issued with Thor The warhammer banner designed by the hammer for the prototype-this is of course not to go back and worship the Nordic gods, but to hope that the soldiers can be more brave under the inspiration of the warhammer.

In addition to the legion’s exclusive banner, there is also the official affiliation of the chaplain. On the suggestion of Richard to Cardinal Peter Skanrell, the latter agreed to affix the chaplain to the two legions on a large scale (of course, it is basically a one-star ), this requires a lot of money, but it is very cost-effective. After each brigade has a chaplain, soldiers can pray to the chaplain in the army more conveniently, which undoubtedly increases the morale of the soldiers.
