Su Li could fully understand the mindset of the lord of Redbeard Castle right now. If the Hesse Territory could recuperate and nurture, he could also stay at this beautiful mountain base, guarding thousands of acres of estates, enjoying life until the end of the world, with no interest in getting involved in disputes elsewhere.

The key is that recuperation and nurturing have been very effective, and in the absence of a food shortage, many matters like reorganizing new troops and stockpiling grain while training soldiers have progressed exceptionally well.

Establishing three new squadrons of armed attendant soldiers was only one part of this reorganization.

Once this topic was mentioned, Marshal Oerstein immediately stepped back, reaching out to Su Li and saying, "Please report the reorganization status of the army to the Lord."

Su Li immediately led a group of ministers towards the training field, and soon under the guidance of Knight Oerstein, Su Li saw the armed attendant camp undergoing training on the grounds.

This troop is also known as the provincial army of the Hesse Territory, and its scale is already very considerable.

Nearly a thousand troops densely packed the training field, with fine weapons and armor, gleaming coldly, creating a magnificent spectacle!

This was an orderly array formation, with intervals between soldiers ranging from one to two meters, distances between squads around five to six meters, and between squadrons as wide as twenty to thirty meters, facilitating the soldiers and formations in pivoting and advancing or retreating.

Countless vermilion banners fluttered above the military arrays, with soldiers in neat formations filling up the entire training field beneath the banners.

This scene brought a surge of emotion to Su Li. The enlarged size of the army was sufficient to fill the vacant grounds of the castle; a single training field could no longer accommodate the vast army of the territory. Thinking of other directions and in military camps, there were several armies of such scale, Su Li felt hope for the future.

In this Battle of the Blood Pine Forest, the Green Dragon assembled forces of twenty to thirty thousand, yet humans were not weak either, with the army size possibly breaking four thousand and even nearing five thousand.

If the Hesse Territory successfully assembles five thousand troops, the military strength may not even be weaker than the Green Dragon's legion.

After all, although the Green Dragon's fangs are numerous, their tactics, coordination, and weaponry are far inferior to humans.

The advantage of the monsters lies in their sheer numbers, capable of overwhelming and crushing the human defenses.

If human armed attendants cannot hold the line and are overrun by the Green Dragon legion, with each squadron facing an attack by hundreds of monsters and suffering heavy losses causing their formations to collapse, humans will be utterly defeated in the decisive battle.

But if humans maintain their line, with batches of soldiers fighting to the death without retreating, like nails driven into the trenches, preventing the Green Dragon legion from leveraging their numerical advantage, then human cavalry can be mobilized.

Utilizing the mobility advantage, humans can expand the attack front, allowing more units on their side to initiate attacks within the same timeframe.

Then humans can use the strength of elite troops to repeatedly break the monsters' offensives, ultimately causing the Green Dragon legion to be unable to withstand the massive losses, and then the legion crumbles, with tens of thousands of monsters scattering in withdrawal in the face of human blades.

From this tactical perspective, whether the human infantry corps can persist until the Knight Order crushes the flank of the monsters is crucial to the outcome of the Hesse Territory's battles.

So Su Li gazed at the vast infantry corps below and asked General Oerstein, "How are the training and reorganization of these troops going?"

Oerstein, full of confidence, replied with a smile, "Lord, the strength of our current infantry corps is unmatched to what it once was, especially one squadron of ours, which we called the Blood Pine Forest Beast Butcher Camp, not even afraid of monster fangs when fighting in the forest."

After saying this, Oerstein handed a brass monocular over to Su Li, pointing to the rightmost squadron and said, "Lord, it's that squadron equipped entirely with heavy armor, with each member provided with dwarf heavy plate armor from our territory's treasury, wielding fine-level long halberds, it's the finest halberd corps of the territory."

Following his pointed direction, Su Li indeed saw a tall and well-equipped infantry corps.

This infantry corps had a demeanor completely distinct from the other troops, with each member clad in sunlight-glinting fine plate armor, their towering statures mighty, long halberds rising like a forest, and heavy shields aligned like walls.

This is a powerful force that ordinary people could not achieve, those who can hold a shield in one hand and a spear or halberd in the other are elites among elites, for without immense arm strength, one could not wield the more than three meters, nearly four-meter heavy long halberd single-handedly.

Su Li turned his head towards the numerous ministers behind him in surprise and asked, "When did we form such a strong infantry corps? How come I didn't know about this?"

Although Su Li rarely intervened in political affairs, when it came to sacrificial and military matters, he never entrusted them to others.

Military matters, even when he was bedridden these days, indulging in cultivation, he personally inquired about every detail.

So he had the confidence to indulge like Emperor Wu of Ming Zhu Houzhao in the Leopard Room, but through a mere slip of paper from the crack of a door, he could execute a powerful minister.

But he truly did not know what the story behind this Blood Pine Forest Beast Butcher Camp was.

However, Oerstein remained composed and explained in detail, "This was exactly during the time you, Lord, were resting. Our territory's army could not be adjusted on a large scale, so the corps was formed based on the original foundations."
