Proof of the Sun King

Chapter 530: , the predicament of the military

Five kilometers away from Richard's Castle, the Knights Road army is in the middle of the army tent. Lawn and others immediately returned to the camp and saw the Duke of Montfort and the Duke of Guisoleaux who had come to help this time. Hagen, both dukes came with an army to assist Raun in the attack on Mousillon, only because the spring plowing was approaching, and both Montfort and Gisolayaux were under the influence of the great necromancer Heinrich Kemmler. The influence of the attack on Brittany, so these two principalities only sent an army of 1,000 people each, of course, they all said that this is the elite of our principality. Mobile terminal

Vercard, Duke of Montfort, seems to be in better spirits. Last year, the Axe Bite Pass was re-cleared. Although the tax revenue was much lower than before Helmgart was destroyed, he finally recovered some income.

Hagen, Duke of Gisoleaux also brought a lot of food. Hagen was very anxious after Kemmler severely damaged the production of the duchy. Fortunately, Ryan and Bellega extended a helping hand in time. With the help of the dwarves, Hagen and the trading post During the construction of the Principality, the economy of the Principality also began to slowly recover.

They brought with them large quantities of food imported from the Empire, which largely alleviated Raun's food shortage.

Everyone immediately took their seats. Lawn Leo Cornwall had the highest status as the Holy Grail Knight + Duke + Kingdom Regent + Commander of the whole army, then the Holy Grail Knight + the Duke of Hagen who holds the title of Duke, followed by the Duke of Falkard and Alder Duke Laird, Callard sat in the fifth position.

The crowd began to discuss.

"We have now surrounded Castle Richard." De Leonez, a strong and brave knight of the Holy Grail, who was appointed by Lawn as a lieutenant, introduced the military situation to everyone: "The Castle Richard was built in cloth. Two hundred years after the founding of Litania, it was an important stronghold in the north of Musillon, this place is ruled by the vampire Baron Drake, the castle is very heavily guarded, and we do not have enough trebuchets to inflict limited casualties on the city walls."

"The best God-bless catapult is installed in Curona. We can't dismantle the God-bless catapult there and send it here. Even if it is ordered now, it will take several days to dismantle the catapult." On Maza, he understood the problem: "We should wait for the mercenary group of the Fireworks Institute to arrive before launching the attack, otherwise we will lack heavy siege weapons and elite troops, Lord Hagen, Lord Falkard, I I thought you would lead more reinforcements..."

"It's going to be spring ploughing, Leon Cole." Duke Hagen immediately shook his head: "My Regent Jean-Harron told me that he can only send so many people."

"Me too." Falkard also echoed: "We didn't expect you to send troops in a hurry, spring farming needs manpower, and we can't recruit so many serf infantry."

"How many reinforcements have come from the south of Leonasay?" Lawn then asked Aldereld.

"No one came." Aldrelde was a little disturbed. He was too young. The Duke of Leonasse was not yet thirty years old. He didn't know how to deal with these bad situations. Letters were written everywhere to ask the former Musilon nobles in the south of Leonase to send troops, but very few nobles responded, and the reason they gave was very simple. If the rebellion in the north was not resolved, they could not send troops to Musillon.

In the current Leonasay, as long as a reasonable person knows how to hide behind the city wall, the nobles in the south of Leonasay also suffered heavy losses in the previous war. The major families refused to send troops, and their troops were used to maintain law and order. .

Lawn listened to the complaints of several dukes. He set his eyes on the military flag in the tent of the central army. The military flag wrote the great deeds of his ancestors to the present, and behind him, the statue of the fairy in the lake was shining. glow.

On the surface they listen to my orders, but in reality they only think about themselves, my lady, what should I do?

Lowe uttered a silent prayer from the bottom of his heart.

No one answered, he could feel his sacred mistress watching his performance, but she was reluctant to give him guidance.

Yes, this is a fair duel, my opponent is Ryan Macado, the lady is fair, she will not give me guidance, she will only watch our performance, Lawn gradually has a new understanding in his heart .

"Speaking of the number of troops, everyone, we must face up to the issue of the combat effectiveness of our army." Lawn continued: "If we look at the current situation, there are three thousand people in the Three Principalities of the North, one thousand in Montfort, Jilin One thousand soldiers of Solaeox, this is all our fighting power, and five thousand people from the empire will arrive soon, my suggestion is that we do not take the initiative to attack until the arrival of the allies of the empire."

"It's right not to take the initiative to attack!" Flkade asked strangely: "Leon Cole, what are you doing with so many refugees? They don't even have the strength to be coolies and transporters!"

"That's right, these refugees have to eat a lot of food a day!" Duke Hagen also said.

"I can't do it without them!" Speaking of this question, Lawn also felt very helpless: "If we don't bring them, they may riot at any time! And our supply point is located in the territory of Lyonnais, as long as we leave , I can be sure that these refugees will attack warehouses and castles to grab food at the first time! So we must bring them, otherwise once the army enters Musilong, it is very likely to face logistical problems. It's tantamount to suicide when you kill Long's venomous snake!"

Raun's analysis is obviously very reasonable. When the army is fighting, the most fearful thing is that the front line is fighting and there are logistical problems. After listening to Raun's explanation, everyone in the tent nodded in agreement.

"Then the question now is, do we need to train these serfs to master some basic combat skills, such as spear thrusting?" Duke Hagen then asked, the Holy Grail Knight didn't quite understand, in his opinion, since These serfs are unusable, so how about taking advantage of this time to train well?

There was silence in the big tent, and Duke Hagen was a little strange. He then asked: "Why don't you speak? I also know that these refugees are not all strong, but we can choose those who are strong and smart. ?"

Neither Lawn, Aldreld, Falkard nor other great nobles said a word, especially the quartermaster in charge of logistics. He opened his mouth, looked up at Duke Hagen, and replied. He lowered his head, not daring to speak.

The Duke of Hagen is nearly eighty years old this year. He is not only a Duke but also a legendary Holy Grail Knight. He has rich qualifications and few people dare to answer his words. Especially this Duke is very ignorant of internal affairs. No one dared to say this, and no one wanted to say it.

Callard looked left and right, and saw that no one came out to answer, the Holy Grail Knight was really disappointed.

When he fought side by side with Ryan and others, the knights and nobles in the south could speak freely, whether it was Ryan or François who were extremely strategic and thoughtful.

After thinking about it, Callard spoke. He did not directly answer the words of Duke Hagen, but asked the quartermaster: "Now, what is the ration of these refugee infantry regiments in the camp?"

"It's all rare," the quartermaster replied respectfully.

"Yes, it's all thin." Callard couldn't hold it any longer, and he continued: "If we just want to stabilize them, we can barely deal with all the thin ones, but if we want to train these refugees, Let them master some basic combat abilities, then at least mix a dry meal with a thin meal, right?"

The people in the tent did not speak again.

By dry and thin, Callard refers not to some kind of human excrement, but to food rations, dry to brown bread, and thin to porridge using a small amount of grains and wild vegetables.

Now the 17,000 refugees live by drinking porridge every day. It is a joke to train them to this extent.

"But... I have seen Earl Ryan's serf infantry fighting." Duke Hagen also fought with Callard, and he retorted: "The serf infantry trained by Earl Ryan is very effective, why can't we train it? ? The refugees have already received our mercy. They can’t survive and we all give them two meals a day! These people are not satisfied. I think there are some riots in the camp. This is the repayment of the serfs for our mercy. Is it? We import food from the Empire to feed them, and this is how these serfs repay our gifts? They deserve to fight for chivalry!"

"That's because you didn't understand how Ryan and François trained soldiers!" Callard sneered, he said sharply to Duke Hagen: "Lane's serf infantry regiment, two meals a day It's all dry! Vegetable rations every day! Meat soup or roast for three days, and then baked pies every Sunday!"

"If there is a war, then these soldiers will have one kilogram of bread, half a kilogram of vegetables and fruits, one hundred grams of meat and one hundred grams of offal every day, and the 12 copper coins a week will never be paid in full. Now, these soldiers composed of serfs are naturally fighting desperately and dare not have any complaints, because they can't find a reason to not work hard! And as long as they make military exploits, they can become free people!" Callard stood up, his face was angry It all turned red: "Lion will pay a little military salary. This is a special case. We won't talk about this, but if you want to train serfs to go into battle, they can't even get enough to eat. How could the serfs be willing to do their best?"

After finishing speaking, Callard added angrily: "Is it all relying on the grace of the lady to encourage the serfs to fight on an empty stomach?"

"Callard, you're a lunatic! You actually use a lady as an analogy!" Duke Hagen also stood up, and he was also so angry that his brain was confused: "Do you know what you're talking about, I think you are …”

"Am I wrong! In Ryan's words, the warhorse must work hard, and the warhorse must not eat beans and carrots, how is this possible?!" Callard didn't intend to back down at all, and the two Holy Grail Knights resisted like this.

The crowd quickly persuaded.

At this moment, the statue of the fairy goddess in the lake behind Lawn suddenly glowed, and the goddess just snorted softly. Before everyone could react, the sacred light had faded away, and what was left was the sculptor left on the stone statue. of calm face and elusive smile.

Led by Raun, all the knights in the tent immediately knelt down. No one knew what the goddess meant, but she obviously didn't want everyone to quarrel anymore.

"Okay, I can only say one thing, that is that the Southerners are really rich." Duke Hagen is naturally a very devout believer of the Lake Fairy, and he immediately gave up the dispute: "I apologize to you for my irrationality, Callard. Your Mightiness."

"I was impulsive, Your Excellency Hagen, please forgive me." Callard had no intention of fighting infighting before the war, and Hagen was not his opponent. If there was an honorary duel called Callard, it would be easy to dismiss him. become complicated.

Hagen, on the other hand, has an excellent quality. The Duke of Guisoleaux and the aforementioned former Duke of Artois, Zilfroy, are a bit similar in nature, that is, he has excellent personal bravery and ability to lead the army. But he was very inept and naive in his internal affairs.

But the Duke of Hagen is more self-aware than Zilfroy. He knows that his internal affairs level is really not good, so he never manages it himself, but delegates the power to appoint regents and deputy officials, listen to their opinions and adopt their decisions , Duke Hagen's point of view is that since he doesn't understand, let the people who understand manage it, he just needs to control the appointment and dismissal of the army and personnel.

After a short quarrel, everyone returned to the previous topic. Lawn frowned. He knew how much trouble these refugees could bring to the army, but he had to bring them to avoid future troubles. After Callard's remarks, Lawn also understood that it was impossible to train a group of capable serf troops in a short time. He didn't have much meat here, and even if he imported a lot of food from the empire, he would eat it up quickly.

He was in a predicament, and there were many factors that led to Lawn's predicament. Now that the Southern Knights Road army has captured the Spire Palace, Lawn is instinctively anxious, but now, he can only calm down and order a large group of people. The soldiers first besieged Richard Castle, waiting for the arrival of the Imperial reinforcements while building fortifications, and Lawn's plan was that he would never fight the undead in the field or siege the city until the Imperial reinforcements arrived.

It's not just Lawn who is in trouble, but Matthew Bard.

Mousillon's viper had just defeated the Spire Palace. The black knight suffered another major blow in his life. In Matthew Bard's view, the city gate was broken at that time, the defenders were exhausted to the extreme, and his A steady stream of undead army is preparing to enter the castle.

Heavenly Ghost and Horror Beast ride their faces, how can they lose?

But he just lost. Facing Ryan's counter-charge, Matthew Bard lost very cleanly. When he wanted to fight back, Richard Castle was besieged and Matthew Bard was hit in the head. After weighing , he had no choice but to retreat.

Because the steeple palace has been lost, and with the encouragement of the lake god's battle flag, he is not sure that he can retake the steeple palace again with a counterattack, and Richard's Castle is still in his hands. Doors to the north and south will be opened, and the situation will be very unfavorable then.

Matthew Bard's mind is very clear~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The loss of the Spire Palace is a sunk cost, he must stop the loss as soon as possible, so the undead army immediately turned around and rushed to Richard Castle.

Along the way, Matthew Bard only felt that there was a nameless fire in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He reflected on himself, why did he always lose in front of Ryan?

Without Ryan, he would definitely have met Marquis Surya before. Without the incentive of Ryan's serious injury, he would definitely win the championship at the Knights Conference and have a great chance of winning Surya's favor.

Without Ryan, the lake **** witch Morgiana should have been sacrificed to Nagash by now! Without Ryan, he must have taken the Rod of Nagash from La-Messonnell Abbey!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! ! ! Matthew Bard only felt that his anger had reached the extreme. He stretched out his hands and wanted to tear everything to pieces. The nameless fire almost engulfed his mind.

Can I still beat Ryan? !

can! Must be able to! But I need to change! Something profound began to change in Musilon's serpent thinking, and something began to erode his soul.

What he didn't know was that when his violent and violent emotions reverberated in the warp, in the void, a being cast a look at Mathubad.

? Is the **** of trickery, ? The attainment in magic is called the master of magic, and he is also familiar with fate, history, and various conspiracies and tricks, ? Knows the changes and laws of the universe, ? The plan spans thousands of years, ? Even knowing the ultimate fate of every distant star, the ultimate fate of every person is simply trivial to him.

Matthewbard's endless despair, broken mentality, and reborn hope made him feel a tremendous amount of energy, and he knew that his plan could begin.

"Change is a good thing!"

"My plan is about to begin."
