In the previous war, because he led elite cavalry to rush forward continuously and finally reversed the relationship between the universe, Egil's qualified cavalry general increased by one level and became an excellent cavalry general +2. Of course, he was not the largest increase in his power in this war.

The spy leader, Wuming, and the parkour master, completed the task well in the tiger's den and wolf pack, successfully assassinated Felix II (who still remembers this unlucky child?). Therefore, he obtained the assassin's skill +1 point. After establishing the Nordic spy network, he obtained the ability of the spy boss +2 skill. In this way, the attribute value of this nameless master became 14+, and he belonged to the super-quality love warrior.

Fleet Commander Carter also obtained the pirate model +2 command, and the qualified naval general was upgraded to the excellent naval general +2. A total of three points increased. With the inference of the system elves, it is basically impossible for a better general on the sea surface than him.

At the same time, after two months of cultivation and respite, Egil's army expanded again. With the support of strong finances (mainly stolen), and under the stimulation of the Eastern Roman Empire as the system elves said, Egil's expansion this time was quite large.

All Viking soldiers were upgraded to Viking warriors, and all of them were replaced with heavy chain armor. Each team had a total of 500 Viking warriors. One tenth of them, that is, fifty Viking warriors, the squad leader in charge of ten people, were equipped with the chain composite armor purchased from the dwarves or supported by them. At the same time, the Viking warriors were upgraded and improved again after system improvement, increasing discipline and training. They were upgraded to a regular and professional army.

Professional Viking warriors, 500 people in a team, a total of ten teams. Race: Vikings. Equipment as above, morale: high, training degree: slightly higher, discipline: slightly higher. Special skills: flying axe throwing, each person carries two flying axes, one flying axe on each waist, carrying a total of four flying axes, which can be chopped or thrown; shield walls. Arranged into a strong and strong infantry array, with first-class defense, and can resist cavalry to a certain extent.

In addition, after seeing the powerful attack power of the legendary Danish long-handled infantry, Egil also imitated the Nordic axe soldiers in Denmark to create an elite assault force, called the Viking Death Warrior's powerful assault troops. All members wore board chain composite armor and held a huge battle axe that was 1.2 meters long. All members were selected from the best Viking warriors, as the first choice for rushing.

Viking Death Warriors, one team of 100 people, a total of five teams. Race, Vikings. Equipment as above, morale: extremely high, training degree, high. Discipline: ordinary. Special skills: Battle Cry, strengthening attack power.

These two kinds of infantry are the main force in Egil's current army. Although the number is only 6,000, Egil is confident that such an army can fight against more than ten times the mob.

Of course, most of the troops in the entire Middle Ages were all mobs, hahahahaha...

However, after completing the legendary compound bow, Egil found that he was being tricked again - in cold weather like Nordic, the biological glue made of compound bow will quickly dry and deform, causing the compound bow to turn into garbage. It is completely useless. The system elves said: Oh, you didn't ask me in advance. How do I know what you were thinking? Such a reason is to make excuses.

Therefore, Egil's long-range troops still did not improve much, but only expanded a little, and raised the level of crossbow-carrying militia among the regular army to the level of crossbow-carrying soldiers.

Crossbow soldiers: Although they still cannot escape the fate of the legendary crossbow soldiers, their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and the speed of winding has been greatly accelerated. They can even barely deal with little or no matter how they are in close combat. The number is 200 people, race, Vikings. Morale: Medium. Training degree: Medium. Discipline: Medium.

The crossbow soldiers are equipped with medium-sized crossbows - of course, Egil has begun to order the research institute to study heavy crossbows with hand-cranked winding, as well as the legendary pulley crossbow with extremely strong armor-breaking ability. Wearing light chain armor, hand axe, helmet, and small shields, you can all have long attacks and close combat.

Such crossbow soldiers with good combat effectiveness and high cost performance, Egil set up two teams in Biyad, near the sea and Oslo, Bridgehead. Among the main forces, there are also four teams of eight hundred crossbowmen.

Nordic Archer: Still the same, the army that is almost eliminated (?)

Such archers at least have low recruitment prices and maintenance costs. Therefore, among the three cities of Bergen, Biard and Oslo, there are two teams of Nordic archers. There are five teams of 1,000 teams in the main force.

At least they have good hand-to-hand combat skills, which are a little stronger than ordinary professional soldiers. If they really can't do it, they will treat them as infantry and go to the front line to get fire with the enemy. It's not impossible.

In terms of cavalry, after taking two hundred cavalry to attack, Egil finally fully understood how awesome the legendary heavy cavalry was. He completely strengthened the guy's determination to develop elite heavy cavalry. After obtaining a large amount of land in Norway and confiscating the fiefs of a large number of nobles, Egil issued a very famous unrestricted knight recruitment decree.

The decree is as follows: measure all state-owned land in the country (with the help of the system). One of the five is the fief used by the future Knights. Every knight who swore allegiance to Egil can become a member of the Knights after passing the test and receive a reward of fifty acres of land. As long as the knight has a direct line and can inherit the title of knight, the land can be inherited by him. Of course, the same is true for the title of knight.

However, there is one thing that needs to be paid special attention to here: that is, the territory of the Knights is still part of the state-owned land, and the Knights have ownership, but no governance rights. All the land is still governed by the royal family, that is, Egil. The Knights just wait for the end of the year to receive benefits.

To put it bluntly, it is just a salary. Land is just an excuse and can't be seen or touched - but nowadays, if you want to pay directly, the Knights will definitely not do it. People are interested in land. So they need to change their methods a little... and after they tie them up in this way, they have no territory to take care of, that is, they have more time to train... or fight.

After the law was issued, not to mention other places, all the chivalrous, ranger and rogue knights in the entire Nordic world flocked to the Oslo Fortress. Although it was a bit confusing to be able to act as a mighty person in the territory. But for these rogues - I mean knights, it would be quite good to have a taste of food.

Similarly, Egil stuffed a lot of feudal knights produced by the system, which temporarily expanded the number of this National Knight Order to 200 people - unified dress, unified equipment, unified war horses, and unified training to ensure the combat effectiveness of these knights...

Norwegian National Knight: Strong, professional, killing machine.

Team of 100 people, ethnic: Nordic people, most of them are Vikings. Equipment: chain composite armor, full-coverage helmet, cloak, heavy-duty cavalry, battle axe, vulture shield, armored war horse (chain armor). Morale: extremely high, training degree: extremely high, discipline: high. Special attributes: amazing power of charge, scaring the surrounding enemies.

Improved Tomahawk Cavalry: the same.

One team of 100 people, three teams and three hundred people.

Patrol cavalry: The tragic army that has begun to be tragic and inappropriate, can only clean up the battlefield.

One team of 100 people, five teams of 500 people.

In this way, Egil calculated that his army had expanded to more than 8,000, nearly 9,000 people. And all of them were professional troops. Converted, it could basically be three times the combat effectiveness of an army of medieval recruitment + mercenary + professional soldiers. In other words, Egil's army of more than 8,000 people was almost equivalent to 30,000 people on the other side.

perhaps.

At least that's what Egil himself thinks.

On the Navy, all the gallops with temporary signs have been returned. The entire navy is completely regularized, with fifty light crossbow warships as the main force, fifty dragon-headed warships as the assault forces, and a total of one hundred warships, the Norwegian navy is still the strongest maritime force in Nordic.

So, after taking care of everything in the country, Egil was full of confidence and began to prepare for his expedition to England - but there was a small problem waiting for him to solve.

"Ha? Flag?" Egil was a little puzzled.

"That's right. Flag."

"What flag?"

"The national flag. This is not an east. Just write your surname on the flag. Before, you were a terror who had not taken down a country, so that would be fine. Now you are the lord of a country at least. You should be sure of your own flag."

"What about the flag... It's better to be a Roman eagle." Egil thought so.

"It's really better - but, can you have something to do with Rome? Or do you want to be as shameless as the Holy Roman Empire? I think adding the word "sacred" to the name is really sacred?"

"Well, the eagle flag cannot be used... Then, the traditional Nordic flags, axes, bears, castles, and other things, don't feel very good... By the way, what is so majestic and can reflect my Viking's characteristics?" Egil asked.

"How do you think of this?" So the system gave Egil a suggestion.

"Oh." Egil opened the system interface and saw a skeleton pirate flag painted on it...

"It's so majestic and embodies Viking's characteristics, right?"
