Chapter 105: The Moves Are Getting Bolder and Bolder

Chapter 104 – The Moves Are Getting Bolder

Owen didn’t know about the change of the witches, after returning to the castle through the flyway network, he didn’t know what to do for a while, because Maya wasn’t there, she needed to reorganize the intelligence network of the witches’ union to make it more efficient and without her, Owen didn’t know how to deal with the affairs of the territory because no one was there to give him the documents that needed to be signed and the reports that needed to be made to make a decision.

Even if he wanted to do something, he could only think of it first and then go to the site to order it, the efficiency was not a little bit worse, so he simply swung the pendulum and chose to spend the progress value brainlessly.

Thinking about the initial plan, Owen brought Char and two Teutonic warriors to the barracks.

Nowadays, the territory has already built barracks, shooting ranges, and stables to train infantry, archers, and cavalry respectively.

Although the lack of civilians in the territory prevented them from training better soldiers, the loyalty and morale of the soldiers were first-rate in the Northland, and even Howard and his son could not find fault with them.

Recently, Howard’s father and son will strengthen the training of soldiers every day, and the effect is not bad, the soldiers’ fighting skills and cooperation become more skillful, and also learned how to patrol more efficiently and deal with all kinds of unexpected accidents, in short, it is to become more flexible.

These changes are not only loyalty and morale can bring, but Howard’s rich life experience.

If he hadn’t worked at the grassroots level for one or two decades, he wouldn’t be so old-fashioned.

This makes Owen feel satisfied, with Howard, even if there are outsiders coming in the spring of next year, they won’t be able to cause too much trouble.

However, if you want to achieve better results in a short period of time, you still have to rely on openings.

Now the territory is not short of soldiers, but in addition to the number, the quality is also very important, not to mention that with the territory’s population base, can no longer expand the proportion of soldiers, so can only work on the quality.

This time, Owen mainly came here to improve the quality of cavalry, because light cavalry could no longer meet the current needs of the territory, so he needed to spend progress value to strengthen them, and the direction of strengthening was bow cavalry and gun cavalry.

The chest armor soldiers have the highest cost performance, but the speed is average, in the front confrontation effect is good, the problem is in the vast northern land speed is the king, can not catch up with the people all for nothing, the horse thieves will not choose to fight with the regular army, harassment sneak attack is what they are best at.

The territory has a city wall and a large number of infantry, not afraid of cavalry attack, not afraid of hard contact, afraid of harassment raids, so more need a large number of high-speed cavalry as a response.

According to Owen’s idea, scout cavalry is good at scouting, bow cavalry is good at chasing, gun cavalry is good at raiding, breastplate soldiers are good at attacking, four-way cooperation, even if they encounter the number of enemies that are two or three times more than them, they are not false.

After feeling that it was feasible, Owen was ready to get his hands on upgrading the cavalry.

Now, the number of cavalry in the territory was not small, so it was not realistic to strengthen all of them, especially the breastplate soldiers, the upgrade requirement was too high and they could not be used, so Owen only strengthened the light cavalry briefly.

Fortunately, because they were cavalry, strengthening them on the existing foundation would not cost much progress value, and the amount of progress value recovered in a day was enough to upgrade several cavalry, so the speed was not too slow.

When Maya came back, Owen had already completed the integration of the cavalry in the territory, and now the territory had one hundred and fifty cavalry, respectively 30 scout cavalry, 50 bow cavalry, 50 gun cavalry, 20 breastplate cavalry, and 2 knights.

Although the troop types were not unified and seemed a bit disorganized, this combination gave the territory’s cavalry the ability to deal with various situations.

A good number of scout cavalry can let their side grasp the situation within a radius of 20 to 30 miles, so that they will not miss the opportunity to fight, while the highly mobile bow cavalry and light knights are not only the best pursuers but also the best interceptors, even if they encounter a surprise attack, they can also react in time, and wait for the charge of the chest-armored cavalry to disperse the enemy, then it is the time to follow up the victory. Raid, strong attack, pursuit, break the back, as long as the number of enemies is not more than several times their number, can be competent, this is exactly the bottom card that Owen prepared for occupying the horse thief of Mara Town, if the other party does not know what to do, then let them disappear.

Owen is Gou, but his Gou is to the imperial border army and the big power, for the horse thieves or some people sent to the northern part of the claws, he really do not need to worry too much, because the loss is not worth the gain.

To the scale of the territory now, want to eliminate his obvious forces, no three or five thousand people door are not, after all, the soldiers and horses traveling light war soldiers can not, according to the expedition near and far at least three or five times the war soldiers grain carriers, these people do not have much strength but can not be less.

But want to send a three or five thousand troops to the north, at least several times or even a dozen times the cost.

For one thing, it’s a long way to travel, for another, you have to cross the border, and for a third, it’s illegal.

Unless ordered by the Emperor, the cost is inevitable.

As for whether the emperor will target the territory, this point Owen is not worried, he is the root of the northern nobility, unless the emperor intends to shake the foundation of the entire north or he raised the flag, otherwise it is impossible to target him, because once the emperor took action, on behalf of the denial of the legitimacy of the entire north of the aristocracy, by then everyone is in danger, even if the north does not collapse, but also don’t want to continue to develop, because no one knows when they will be the next. will become the next one.

Even those noble forces in the empire that had designs on the Northlands would not allow someone to do this.

After learning this from Maya, Owen’s movements became bolder and bolder, not only trying to put nails in the borders of the empire, but also planning to clean up the unstable elements around the territory.

Of course, he couldn’t grasp these things at the moment, so he only stayed in his thoughts and waited for the executors to be in place.

After Maya returned, Owen finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately handed over all the work of the territory to her.

Although there wasn’t much going on in the territory during the winter, he always felt unsettled without Maya.

However, as soon as Maya returned, she blocked Owen in the study and pressed him not to go out, so he had no choice but to passively listen to her report on the work.

In Maya’s eyes, the Northland Witch Alliance is completely in a state of herding, and has not played much of a role at all, it is simply a waste.

And to play a role must reorganize the entire alliance, which is also the reason why Maya where delayed for so long.

“Although the Northlands Witch Alliance’s potential isn’t bad, there are still many difficulties to be solved if you want to utilize your own value.” Maya took out a thick stack of parchment and handed it to Owen, who was bleeding back.

First of all, it was the properties of the Northland Witch Alliance, besides the farm and two stores in the town, there were also many other properties of the Witch Alliance in Ferrier Town and the surrounding towns.

However, because of the lack of explicit protection, most of these industries are inconspicuous, either small stores or a small number of shares, not much profit.

But for Maya, these industries are ready-made intelligence collection points, so spent a lot of time to visit, collected a lot of information and news, but what to do next, still have to be Owen’s idea.
