Warhammer

Al and Alina were playing an interactive game, holding each other's hands.

"Alia has been learning from you. Do you think she is suitable to lead your tribe?" Al asked his adoptive mother for advice. Alina lowered her head and stroked Al's cheek.

"She imitates me. Do you think I like being a leader with a group of people following me?"

Al sneered.

"No matter who they are, if they have half of your strength, they can become a very authoritative leader."

"Think about it."

Alina had no interest in these. As the tribe's top fighter, she didn't even have her own personal guards, and had always shared them with Al - this also further illustrated her status.

Including matters concerning the tribe, El originally wanted his adoptive mother to come forward to unify the Centaurs, but Alina was too lazy to take care of it. She just drove El around for a while and swore her authority.

It was purely because of his unparalleled fighting power and achievements that his prestige continued to grow and show no sign of decline, becoming a spiritual idol and legendary centaur for many new generation ponies, such as Alia.

"From the Gedaz River to Tagus, that is, the area between Galaz and Margarita, is a large plain, a wilderness with little development."

El looked at the map of Estalia hanging on the wall. If Galaz-Permoz to Margarita was compared to a square, Galaz and Permoz would be on the left side of the square. His eastern expedition was along the bottom all the way to Margarita. The north was bordered by the destroyed Cheborio in the west and the small cities of Morella to the north of Margarita in the east. The blank area in the middle was the central plain.

This area is very large. If the Inara Mountains are included in the national land area, the central plains will account for nearly one-tenth of the entire Estalia.

Such a piece of land is left empty there, and it is not used much except for allowing wild animals to breed and the seasons to cycle. It is a complete waste.

Al thought as he rested his head on his foster mother's breast.

"If Alia is allowed to lead the Centaur Legion, it would not be appropriate to use the city as the garrison center."

"It's best to be in a large plain area like this, where there's a lot of land and few people, so there won't be any conflicts between humans and animals."

Al looked on the map and found a plain like this in the north and southeast. However, the southeast was densely populated, and there were also many people living scattered on the plains, so it would be a lot of work to deal with.

All of this originated from an idea that suddenly occurred to Al when he was lying in Alina's arms thinking about life after he had finished taking care of his adoptive mother last night.

It can be called enlightenment in the dairy field.

He found that after he took control of a big city and became the regent of millions of Estalia people, his thoughts and way of thinking had unconsciously changed towards that of an ordinary human warlord.

This is good and bad.

The bad thing is that he also restricted Alman a lot. For example, the conflicting ideas about the legion arose under such circumstances.

After all, he is first the Eternal Chosen of the tribe (the Great Chief) and then the "Son of Estalia", the regent of Margarita.

He is also the Great Chieftain! And the Regent!

You can't think about things from just one perspective.

What are the advantages of using legions to open branch bases before... Ai'er reduced the workload, which is equivalent to idle hosting. It also cultivated the ability of his descendants to manage state affairs and military affairs. Usually, they would be dispersed to absorb nutrients on their own, and recalled to work together when something happened. It was a very effective approach.

What about the disadvantages?

———No shortcomings!

As a former Zhendan man who imprinted the ancient genes in his bones through farming and COSplay, while Al COS and developing, he subconsciously began to pursue "unified government" and "great unification (centralization)", ignoring that his real authority and status did not need any worldly system to protect them.

He is the king of men, the son of God, and even the living God.

Absolute power, tightly grasped destiny, divine authority, these real existences, not illusory things like those in another world, are the foundation of his rule.

The close connection with his offspring and the spiritual link that allows him to communicate at any time ensures that there is basically no possibility that any of them will betray him. In this case, what he should really do is to spread the seeds and give them more autonomy to mine and develop.

It's not like the Primarch has the charisma of a Gene-Father over his own Legion.

Even if she now grants Misha, Barbatos, Kael'thas or any other of her descendants the authority of the Grand Marshal of the Army, the Governor of Chinese and Foreign Military Affairs, and the third-rank official, what does it matter?

What if he handed over the military power of the entire tribe to Niu Niu?

It's nothing more than an empty name.

His existence itself is the foundation of the tribe's survival. No one can stand on the tribe's territory to oppose him. He is a human being, a secular king, and a great religious leader. He is unique:

"God King".

With the close connection created by blood and the spiritual communication at any time and anywhere, Ai'er can fully ensure the loyalty of his offspring.

In other words, if someone was disloyal, it would be impossible for an entire legion to rebel without being discovered. The moment he noticed that something was wrong with one of his descendants, he could send a telegram to his deputies and adjutants to take the troops away and stand by.

If the enemy is too strong, for example, the Four Peddlers corrupted his entire legion... there is nothing that can be done. Even if this does not happen, it will be the same situation as the Emperor encountered.

I know someone will betray me, but I can't be sure who it will be. The more I try to stop it, the more I might end up handing the knife to the enemy.

Al decided to take back his previous wrong idea.

The legion system must be retained, deepened, developed and strengthened!

At least before the great rebellion, the eighteen boys did great things for their father.

But this world is not 40k. Even if the enemy wants to launch a "great rebellion" in the future, Ai'er will be prepared in advance and continue to guard against it.

......

Al released the nipple from his mouth.

"You feel."

"How does 'Son of Thunder and Fire' sound?"

Alina lowered her head and stared at her adopted son's face, then suddenly turned her gaze to the elder nun standing beside her.

Although the latter was unwilling, he could only quietly leave the room.

Then Alina began to strip her adopted son of his clothes.

"Eh?"

The foster mother smiled.

"I love so much."

Chapter 137: Getting ready for the meeting! Eight Legions

It was only after Al made the decision and arrangements that he called Niu Niu early in the morning and asked his eldest daughter to come back with the pony.

After calling Misha to hurry back, he was not idle either. He summoned capable men from various units to the camp of the allied commander which had already moved to Sahagen. Except for those who stayed in the south and Pina Forest and those who followed his four sons in the east-west march, basically all of them were present.

Misha started the journey at noon, changed to a griffin, and arrived in Sahagen in the evening.

On the other side, Barbatos and the bunny sisters who were still in Vizia simply asked the ceratosaurus spellcaster to open a portal.

The shamans' teleportation can only be used in places affected by the earth veins. It will be a big burden for the wisents to release it individually, but it will be better if they cast the spell together.

Misha's army also has teleportation available, but it's not a particularly urgent matter, and she would rather go sightseeing along the way with the pony.

By the way, Alia was too big for a single griffin to carry, so she was pulled back by a wyvern.

After all the main heirs arrived, Al did not rush to close the door for a meeting right away. Instead, he let everyone settle down first and think about their views on the "legion" system before holding a meeting tomorrow.

Then he called Misha and Kael'thas and they returned to the temporary palace.

After the army successfully completed the Northern Expedition, some of the defeated greenskins fled to Sahagen in the southwest and harassed the nearby residents. The Centaur Girl knew there was going to be a fight, so she simply took a troop out to kill the greenskins for fun.

The Archsister remained in Bilbarri, and together with the Council of Scholars, served as eyes and ears to monitor the situation in the city.

Al had previously felt that Bill Barry was a "foreigner" for the time being and was not under his control. If he stayed for too long, something strange might happen. His biological mother Celestine was also there. If he stayed any longer, they would inevitably meet. If a knife was really drawn on the spot, it would be very embarrassing for both sides.

Celestine Julius, El's biological mother, is now the "champion warrior chosen by both the Goddess and the Emperor of the Empire!" who is strongly promoted by the Church of War. If she is openly hostile to El, it will be a great shock to the entire North and even the hearts of the people in the South who have already fallen into her control.

Al planned to avoid it if possible. One of the purposes of his "uncle" coming to the south was to rescue Celestine. Now that Estalia had undergone such a great change and the Imperial Expeditionary Force had suffered heavy casualties, the mission of opening up a new world as a bridgehead would definitely not be accomplished. The only option was to return home for rest and recuperation, or at most leave some people behind to take care of the outpost affairs.

According to the intelligence from the Council of Scholars, the Sigmar priests accompanying the army were not satisfied that Celestine, who held the "Holy Hammer", was the champion warrior shared by Sigmar and other gods. They tried their best to remove the mark of the Church of War from Celestine's body, and return to the Empire as the chosen champion of the God-Emperor to pay homage to the Cathedral of Aldorf and meet the Archbishop.

Our God-Emperor’s champion warriors can only be the God-Emperor’s champion warriors!

How could she be associated with a goddess who was popular in remote areas of the south but was still worshipped by only a few people in the empire?

Extreme exclusivity, pursuit of "purity".

As a member of a noble family with a prominent military background in the Empire, Celestine could not help but return to the Empire. If a chosen one who had been confirmed as the "Champion of the Divine Emperor" stayed in a foreign country for various reasons and acted under the names of other gods, it was conceivable that Julius would face great honor as well as enormous pressure.

So if they delay it for a while, until Rhine brings the female knight back to the empire, El can rest easy.

What do you think we will do in the future?

After waiting for half a year or a year, El was officially crowned as the king of the "Tribe-Estalia United Kingdom", and was equal to the emperor of the empire. With the existence of the Son of the South, he would not have so many worries if the female knight came again.

You can even openly invite her to take the seat of honor, Elbaimu - she's sensible. After all, she was born from her belly, so she deserves the grace of giving birth to her. It's okay for her to call her mother and talk about the mother-son relationship.

If they don't know what's best for them, they will draw their swords and slay the demons on the spot - see how the last demon hunting group that came to "eliminate Al" was "de-membraned" by Al.

Well, it could also be imprisonment, with good food and drink provided.

It depends on how much moral integrity Al has left at the time and whether he is so cruel.

In short, in order to avoid risks, Al simply found an excuse that there were still enemies in the southwest to lead a large army southward and stationed in Sahagen, which he had recaptured and initially recovered.

There are not many people left in the whole city. After being rescued by Al, some of them have come back, but nine out of ten houses are still empty. It is very desolate, like a ghost town.

Support for Ai'er is also very high. After all, the current Sahagun can't withstand any more storms. They will be "loyal" to whoever can protect them and prevent them from war.

After Ai'er moves in, he will ask the army to help with reconstruction and restoration work. The greenskins who harass the area will also be dealt with by the army. In addition, because there are few citizens and no combat power, the coalition forces can directly move into the city. For example, Ai'er stayed in the military camp outside the city except for a few days at the beginning when he found a place to work in the city of Bilbarri.

In fact, moving south was a last resort.

It's still the strange elves after all.

These guys don't come early or late. They just come to show their faces when the situation has been decided, and then they have to wait for the letter of credence and just stay there.

If the elves' troops had not been there, Aiel would have entered the city that day, and that night he could have led his troops to attack the Northern Council, captured Celestine, and used the excuse that the remnants of the enemy were causing chaos to find the location of the Northern Council where the meeting was held that night. All the participants in the meeting would have unfortunately died, sacrificing their lives for their country.

Then they controlled the reorganization of the city council, infiltrated, planted spies, disbanded the city defense forces to resume production, and the garrison controlled the guns...

The whole process was smooth and fluent, and it was expected that the number of people bleeding could be controlled within a thousand and the northern capital could be captured.

Then, after gaining the support of the North and the South, Al could show some kindness and punishment, and have the colonial fleet pledge its allegiance as a representative of the colonies.

The three votes were combined into one, and the king's power was reestablished.

El, the "Son of Estalia", "King of the Tribe", and "Regent of the People", will soon arrive in Margarita, who is always loyal to him!

As a result, the intervention of the elves destroyed the best chance to capture Bilbarry with a swift decapitation, a small-scale purge and bloodshed.

Ai'er, who didn't know the details of the elven expeditionary army, found it difficult to take action against "his own people" in front of Pointed Ears. It was hard to say what Pointed Ears' attitude was. The archmage accompanying the army had assured Ai'er that the main purpose of the expeditionary army was to obtain the letter of credence and then return to the paradise of Ossuen to enjoy it. They didn't want to stay in the ruins destroyed by the greenskins, and it was even more impossible for them to be hostile to a legion that could defeat an army of 100,000 greenskins.

But Al was still concerned.

Elves are not easy to deal with.

Also, Lilith has been offline for a long time recently. When she was leading the Northern Expedition and returning to Pina Forest, this goddess stepmother lost contact. It is hard to say that she is not preparing for something big.

After considering everything, Al discovered that even after defeating the greenskin army, he faced more problems instead of fewer.

So I decided to speed up my plan.

Reform the military system, use the army as officials and the army as government to govern the local areas.

He initially considered establishing eight legions, namely:

Four more legions were established based on the “First Legion: Four Angels”, “Second Legion: Mortal Watch”, “Third Legion: Sons of Aiur” and “Fourth Legion: Black Iron Wolves”.

However, the current consideration is that two legion master positions will be left vacant and temporarily suspended.

There are eight legions, five in the south and three in the north, in charge of local military and civil affairs, just like the feudal princes, but they are highly controlled by Aiel, who keeps track of all matters at all times. They usually have a high degree of self-control and provide opportunities for their offspring to display their talents.

Each legion and the area it controls is considered an independent small kingdom, but they are highly integrated with the headquarters of Aiel, making it very convenient to transfer and replace personnel, which is conducive to replacing the tribes that are seriously lacking in administrative power to control the local areas. At the same time, Aiel also hopes to cultivate a group of legions with their own strengths and powerful combat capabilities. In the future, the eighteen legions will go out together on a great expedition to jointly protect the little father, Emperor Ama Aiel, and ascend the throne of the mortal world.

The previous crude "representative parliament" system will be replaced, and the officials and parliamentarians of the old system will be incorporated into the command of the legion after inspection, and govern the local areas as officials of the "vassal states".

El divided the headquarters into two, one in Margarita and the other in Pina Forest, while controlling the two most important areas. The biggest role of Pina Forest's native land in the future is to continuously generate blood and supply fresh blood to the outside of the forest. At the same time, as the birthplace of his hometown, the final basic base will slowly develop.

And Al will be in Margarita, the ruler of the south, and control the power of the southern country.

138: New Legion, Second Army Building

Inside the room, the allied forces' civil and military officers were stationed on both sides.

Beastmen and Estalia are all devout believers of the Four Mothers and followers of the Eternal Chosen.

They are the tools used by Aiel to command the army, and the backbone of the tribe's rise and domination of the South.

Today, outside the desolate and dilapidated northern city of Sahagen, we all witnessed together this impromptu but no less significant enfeoffment ceremony.

"You make me proud, just like your brothers do."
