Load!
One thousand warriors cocked their bows at the lead warriors command.
Fire!
Swiiiiiiiiish.
It was a feat to launch one thousand arrows almost instantly, but the lead warrior who had given the command started to frown. They did not manage to reach the distance he was aiming for.
The lead warrior turned his head to look toward the Glow and Assistant Warrior who were watching. They had already tried over ten times; he was waiting to see if they would have him try once more.
Yulian raised his hand to the commander to order the warriors to rest, before turning to Runa who was standing next to him and speaking.
It does not go as far as we expected it to go.
I suppose there is a limit to human strength.
But be satisfied with this. It is already going about twenty meters further than with the old bows.
Runa shook his head.
We need to change our methods in order to fight on the continent. The SIlence has a unit called the Heavy Armored Infantry unit that wears heavy armor and uses long spears as weapons. If we charge at them without any preparations, our warriors will take a significant amount of damage.
The training for Pareias warriors started to slowly change since they moved to the Castle of Storm. In the past, they focused on formations and basic weapon mastery, but things needed to change to go up against the continent.
The variety of warriors was the biggest issue. Compared to the desert where all of the warriors fought on pirmas, the continent had cavalry and infantry, and even the infantry was divided into different types.
Armored Cavalry and Light Cavalry, Heavy Armored Infantry and Light Infantry, as well as archers and while rare, some magic brigades as well.
To take on all of these types of soldiers with only what the continent would consider to be Light Cavalry and Light infantry would definitely lead to a lot of damages for Pareia.
But it was not possible to divide the warriors into different types of warriors like the continent. No matter what, desert warriors needed to put the needs of fighting in the desert first.
That was why Runa had created longbows that could shoot further than regular bows, as well as siege crossbows.
The arrows that our warriors shout are the best. I think that we would be able to get quite a lot of success if they do not attack them head on and attack them from the side while riding the pirmas. What do you think?
I think we will need to be satisfied with just that level for now.
Seeing Runa still looking like he was not satisfied, Yulian tried to console Runa.
You made it so that they could shoot twenty meters further than what they used to be able to do. Twenty meters with a bow is not something that can be ignored.
It is not much better though since the accuracy falls quite a bit.
Man, you sure are greedy.
Runa could not help but worry at Yulians words. Pareia may have a lot of warriors, but warriors were men, and Pareias number of men was extremely disproportionate.
They needed to maintain as many warriors as possible in order to maintain their status as a nation and help it grow.
We will have no issues if the Silence Empire face us with their Light Cavalry, but we also need to consider the situation that they do not. The armor and spears of the Heavy Armor Infantry are the worst possible opponents for our warriors.
We need to guide them to the type of battle that is advantageous for us. It is also not easy to move the Heavy Armor Infantry, so we just need to use our agility to avoid them. If they decide to focus on agility and send out their infantry, there is no way for our warriors to lose.
I will do my best.
You are not the only one who is nervous. I am nervous, as well as many of the other Greatest Warriors. It is a new battle for everyone. We will just follow your strategy. Arent you our Pareias secret weapon?
Runa could not help but be filled with admiration for this Glow of his who trusted him with full sincerity. Isnt there a saying that men will put their lives on the line for those who understand them?
This Runa, no matter what happens, will bring a plan for complete victory to you.
I trust that you will.
Yulian patted Runas shoulders to console him before starting to head to a different training ground.
In the other training ground, they were currently training to become used to horses instead of pirmas.
Glow!
Haisha saw Yulian and headed over.
How is it going?
As Yulian looked toward the training warriors and asked, Haisha confidently answered.
I do not think there will be much issues. If pirmas are rough and extremely strong, the horses of the continent are swift and sophisticated. You do not need to worry about us getting used to them.
The Rojini Kingdom has a lot of expectations for us. I didnt expect them to treat us so well even with our alliance. I heard that these war horses were extremely expensive in the continent unlike our pirmas, but they gave us 5,000 horses to use.
To be honest, I do not think pirmas will be a problem either. They are just not as mobile as the horses.
Yulian shook his head at Haishas response.
No. In order to reduce our casualties as much as possible, mobility is very important. That is why we are creating a cavalry unit with just the Red STorm and some veteran warriors.
I do not believe that the soldiers of the continent will be stronger than our warriors.
I love the confidence, but we must stay alert. It will be a different type of battle than we have faced in the desert.
I understand.
Yulian looked around the area before asking.
Where are the second generation Red Storm warriors?
They are being trained separately. I do not think they are ready to go to war just yet.
I agree. If they are going to be part of the Red Storm and not just an average warrior, they must never lose, so let them out when you feel very confident about it.
All of them seem to want to go to war though.
Yulian started to smile at Haishas words.
They are warriors after all. Im sure they want to go to war. Did you manage to convince them to stay?
They were quiet once Thrint beat them all up. Hahaha.
They sure seem to be suffering.
If it is compared to the Glow or even us hehehe.
Yulian started to laugh along with Haishas uncharacteristic snicker and looked out toward the warriors who were training.
They were strong warriors whom he thought would not lose anymore no matter what type of war they were involved in.
Hyung-nim.
Yulian had been watching the warriors train late into the night, until he heard a voice behind him and turned around. Orca was looking at him with flushed cheeks.
What might you need so late at night?
As Yulian asked with confusion, Orca started to answer.
I have something to tell hyung-nim.
Hmm? Go ahead, tell me.
Please take me with you on this campaign.
Yulian tilted his head at Orcas words. His younger brother had never been interested in wars before.
After thinking about it, I feel like there will be something for me to do in this continent war. Not with incantations, but with the continents magic that I have learned.
Tell me more details. I was thinking that it would be beneficial for you to stay behind with Pere and the Greatest Warriors to help defend like you did in the last defensive battle with the Shuarei, but Im sure there is a reason for your request.
Yes.
Orcas eyes started to sparkle as he continued to speak.
No matter what anybody says, our Pareias strength is based on the charging impact of our pirma riding warriors.
I agree.
However, those so called castles in the continent will be a strong defense net, and it will be difficult to break through them with just our warriors.
Isnt that why Runa developed the siege weapons and we are training the warriors separately for archery and infantry?
Yulian was even more confused, as he knew that there was no way Orca had not seen all of the training that was going on around them.
However, wouldnt there be a lot of injuries? At least until we can break down a castle door or castle wall and enter the castle itself.
You are correct. I am getting more curious. Just what is at the core of your request?
I believe I will be able to instantly break down a castle wall or a castle door.
What?!
