Chapter 188: Arm Wrestling
Adam Smith was the last to enter the war meeting room after handling the cargo arrangements.
He was seated next to Old John, who gestured for him to stay quiet.
Adam Smith simply nodded in silence, but a feeling of nervousness crept over him.
He took the opportunity to observe the new faces of Elio and Felicia.
Leon, far away in Troll Valley, Captain Sean, who had just cleared a large area of wasteland, and several newly promoted squad leaders were quietly reviewing the information in their hands.
Two hundred elite knights, each with mid-level or higher combat power!
Two thousand elite soldiers, each a professional!
This is the foundation of a family that has been established for hundreds of years.
They possess many methods and resources for training professionals, with the ability to field a combat force of several thousand at any time.
Bay Territory, however, had a completely different development model.
Thanks to Matthew's lavish and relentless financial investment.
Bay Territory's military strength has also grown rapidly.
The military details are as follows:
Commander-in-chief: Angela, Level 5 Knight.
Deputy Commander: Old John Carls, Level 5 Warrior.
Chief Instructor: Arnold, Level 13 Warrior.
Total number: 2,000 people.
Troll Valley: 250 people, Level 5 Warrior Leon, Logging Camp, 50 people.
Frontier Patrol: 200 people, Level 4 Warrior, Captain Sean.
Murloc Camp: 500 people, Level 9 Ranger, Village Chief Field.
Combat Troops: 800 people.
200 Heavy Infantry, led by Beelzebub, Level 11 High-Ranking Warrior.
200 Shield Bearers.
200 Spearmen.
200 Archers and Crossbowmen, led by Hall, Level 7 Rogue.
Inspectorate: 200 people (50 cavalry), Level 8 Swordsman Elio, Level 4 Ranger Felicia (intelligence, investigation, surveillance).
On the surface, Bay Territory appeared to have combat forces comparable to the enemy.
But everyone was well aware that Bay Territory couldn't deploy all of its combat power.
The only forces capable of engaging in direct combat were likely the 800 front-line soldiers and the 200 inspectors.
1,000 vs. 2,200!
The pressure was immense!
The reputation of the Carlisle Family loomed large.
The Carlisle family's private army was renowned even in the entire Eastern Province.
They had once faced orc forces larger in number at Blood Fortress and won a direct battle.
That victory earned them great merit, allowing their army to grow and prosper.
Even though they hadn't participated in the orc wars at Blood Fortress in recent years, news of their "activities" still surfaced from time to time.
In the noble circles of Bloodmoon City, there were many rumors about the Carlisle family, the most widely spread and believed being:
"They have special techniques for training soldiers!"
