Game of Thrones: From King of Elden to Teen Wolf Lord

Chapter 84 Legion
After Asha leaves, Robb continues to think about the attack on the Iron Islands in his study.

"I planted scarlet corruption on Asha. Now her life is in my own hands, and I can't make any mistakes. But I can't just think that she will do her best for me. I still need to observe more."

"Crag City in the West and Seaside City in the Riverlands, these two places surround the Iron Islands and can be used as temporary naval bases. It happens that Asha and the Mandalay family are responsible for one base."

"53 longships were captured in the Battle of the Relang River. Including the ships that later captured Asha and Xion, there are more than 80 longships."

"There seems to be some deviation from my memory about Euron of the Iron Islands coming back to usurp the throne. Has the butterfly effect started to work?"

After sorting out his thoughts, Robb looked at the map again and prepared to place the main force in Cliff City.

Most of Robb's fleet and navy will be assembled here, and some small troops will also be placed in Seaside City to be responsible for coordinating and encircling scattered enemies.

This is done for many reasons.

Now the Ironborn captives are mining for Robb in the gold mines in the West. Robb is considering recruiting some people to help train the navy. They will definitely go to the nearby Cliff City.

Therefore, Asha cannot go to Cliff City for training, otherwise the captured soldiers will get mixed up with the leader and there is a risk of rebellion.

The Mandalay family is his subordinates, and the navy they train is the absolute main force. They train in Cliff Rock City, and Cliff Rock City naturally becomes the main point of attack.

-

After choosing the naval base, Robb began to think about an important reform: the establishment of the kingdom's legions.

It's a bit incredible to say that Robb, the guardian of the North, actually doesn't have many troops.

On the surface, Robb has tens of thousands of troops under his command, has won consecutive battles, and has a great reputation.

But in fact, those soldiers and horses are not Robb's, they are all Robb's men!
If one day all his men are gone, Robb will become a polished commander in an instant.

For example, in the original plot, after the Karstark family left, their soldiers were also taken away together.

After all, King's Landing still has troops like the Golden Robes who only obey the king's orders, but our majestic King in the North, Robb, only has 1000 wolf cavalry and more than [-] soldiers recruited from Winterfell.

That is to say, the appeal of the Stark family in the North is too strong, and almost all the younger brothers follow their eldest brother. If it were placed in other duchies, the Stark family would have been suppressed long ago.

For example, in the previous Lannister family in the West, Tywin's father was often bullied by his younger brother because he was too cowardly. This was when the Lannister family was at its peak.

With Robb's current reputation and power, of course he cannot allow this situation to continue.

"It's time to consider the organization of the legion."

"Five centurions of the Wolf Cavalry have followed me through large and small battles and learned a lot of military theory from me. They are enough to hold important positions in the legion."

When Robb founded the Wolf Cavalry team, he had already planned the future of the Wolf Cavalry.

The Wolf Riders have high loyalty and brilliant records. They have the highest reputation and the best treatment among all Robb's armies.

It can be said that all soldiers aspire to become Robb's personal wolf troopers.

This has met the standards Robb needs, and then the next step is to send the soldiers who graduated from the Wolf Cavalry to hold important positions in the legion.

In Robb's vision, the status of the Wolf Cavalry should be the same as that of the Whampoa Military Academy.

This will not only improve the legion's combat effectiveness, but also strengthen your control over the legion!
Thinking of this, Robb said to the guards beside him: "Go and call the two recruiting ministers."

After waiting for a while, the two Earls Greatjon and Rickard Karstark hurried over.

Their bodies smelled faintly of perfume, and their faces were a little flushed.

Robb saw it and chuckled: "Going to have fun?"

"Your Majesty...we..."

The two of them looked even more embarrassed. Although they were recruiting ministers, Robb's recent work center was in the navy. They were good recruiters, but they really knew nothing about the navy.

These things were all done by the Mandalay family, so they were free.

In addition, Robb had given them a lot of rewards, so they naturally went to whoring when they had money and leisure.

Seeing this, Robb pondered for a moment: He had forgotten about the industry. This kind of industry should be run by his subordinates. To make money, no...

Robb, who was almost led astray by the two men, reacted and quickly corrected the topic: "I called you here to discuss one thing. I want to form a legion. The soldiers of this legion no longer belong to any lord, they are directly responsible to me. "

The two looked at each other and felt that there was nothing wrong with this: "Your Majesty should indeed have an army. In ancient times, there were seven kingdoms. Your Majesty is about to rule the two kingdoms of the North and Iron Group-Hejian. The royal family needs an army. "

Previously, the Iron Islands and the Riverlands together were one of the Seven Kingdoms.

So even if some people don't understand Robb's true intention of attacking the Iron Islands, they don't think there is anything wrong with Robb's actions.Robb thought about it and decided to test the water first: "This army needs 1 people. What is the name of the army? Let's call it the Blood Wolf Army. You have been recruiting in various camps recently. What I want is an elite army. , be strict when selecting people.”

Robb's troops are scattered in many places, including Riverrun, Harrenhal, Moat Cailin, as well as the streamlands and the Tombs of the First Men.

There are more than 5000 people in total, plus the residents of the Riverlands who were sent back to farm, it is relatively simple to select 1 people.

Even if the recruitment this time was to recruit people directly from those lords, Robb was no longer as green as when he first asked for people from Lord Severn.

If you lead everyone to eat meat, you can't do anything without any effort, right?

Great Jon and Lord Karstark looked at each other and felt that this task was a bit difficult, especially when communicating with various lords.

But this was His Majesty's order, and they had no choice but to go ahead and do it.

At this moment, Robb took a sip of wine and said quietly: "In the appointment of legion commander and deputy legion commander, I think it is better to give young people a chance. I have five centurions, and I want to select a few to serve. ."

As soon as Robb said this, the eyes of the two earls instantly lit up.

What does His Majesty mean by this?
This is to give my son a chance!

Especially Earl Greatjon. His favorite son is Little Jon, who is most like him. When Robb said he wanted to reward his children, Greatjon refused. He exchanged all the rewards for resources and prepared to give them to him. Little Jon paved the way.

Now that Robb has thrown out the position of legion commander, isn't this a clear hint?

Earl Karstark was also very moved. He kept his favorite eldest son by his side, but Eddard Karstark was also his heartthrob. Eddard's status had been greatly improved after he was granted a title and territory. , if they can serve as the legion commander, the prestige of their Karstark family will be further enhanced.

At this time, Robb was already the king, but the only duke under his command was Duke Tully.

More dukedoms will definitely be awarded in the future. If the Karstark family grows stronger, it is not known that they will become the second duke by then!
The two of them immediately changed their previous embarrassment and instantly became energetic.

Great Jon was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this is the first legion in the kingdom. We will definitely select carefully and ensure that they are all the best soldiers! I'll see who dares to fool me. I'll take it from my home first. One hundred elite cavalry!"

Earl Karstark also said urgently: "Your Majesty, I am willing to provide two hundred cavalry, each with three horses!"

"I'll give you three hundred!"

Both of them knew that the competition might not be fierce this time, after all, the green beard of Tyrosh would definitely not be the legion commander.

There will not be too much pressure on the remaining four centurions to choose the legion commander and multiple deputy legion commanders, but they also know that the difference between the legion commander and the deputy legion commander is a world of difference!
Robb interrupted the comparison between the two: "Okay, why do I need so many elite cavalry? I can't afford them. You mainly recruit infantry. Two thousand lightly armed cavalry will be enough."

Before the support of Highgarden, Robb really couldn't afford too many elite heavy cavalry, and the five hundred wolf cavalry he had were just right.

Only when the supplies from Highgarden arrive will Robb consider expanding the size of the Wolf Cavalry to a thousand.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter!"

"Your Majesty, just watch my performance!"

The two earls left, glaring at each other.

The servants outside who didn't know what was going on were a little strange. Just now, the two earls were good brothers who had fun together. How come they are now enemies?

-

After the two left, Robb looked at the deployment of troops and sighed: "Oh, spending money is like water."

The army is not engaged in production. Just stationed there, it costs money to eat, drink, and defecate.

Now Robb has to train a new navy, form a blood wolf army, and secretly train wolf guards, so the expenses have increased a lot.

Now it’s time to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Let’s increase revenue first.

"Trade in Riverrun is booming now. All kinds of slave traders and war merchants know that I have gold mines and supplies, so they have come to join in the fun. I just want to take this opportunity to develop well."

Robb thought for a while and soon found a candidate for business: "Industry matters must be left to Uncle Edmure, the Minister of Logistics. I remember that he also likes to have fun and is very familiar with this industry. It’s just what he wanted.”

Although Uncle Edmure is not good at fighting, he is a kind-hearted person and is well-liked among the lords of the Riverlands. It is perfect for him to be responsible for logistics and business.

So again, everyone has their own strengths, and as long as they are placed in the right position, their strengths can be used.

Although it cost a lot, Robb didn't feel anxious.

He can clearly feel that his framework is constantly improving, and the initial investment will be able to recover the cost in the near future.

"Let's go to Sansa's place to see how much money we have left. We will go on an expedition in a month, so we need to have all the supplies ready."
