the_the_lombard_guard_advance

Restored as a bulwark in Macedonia, the Kingdom has revived its heritage by inviting Lombard and northern Italian military engineers to modernize its defenses. These Lombard Guards serve as the professional core of the army, utilizing advanced pike-and-shot formations to hold the Vardar valley against the encroaching enemy armies. Their presence ensures that our nation remains a bastion of Western military theory in the heart of the Balkans.
