Chapter 530, the Dilemma of the Military Discussion

Five kilometers away from Richard's Castle, there was a large tent in the middle of the Knights' Road Army. Lawn and others immediately returned to the camp, and saw the Duke of Montfort, Fulcade, and the Duke of Gisoleaux, who had come to help this time. Hagen, these two dukes both led an army to assist Lawn in attacking Mousillon, just because the spring plowing was approaching, and both Montfort and Gisoleaux were attacked by the undead wizard Heinrich Kemmler The impact of the attack on Britannia, so the two principalities only sent 1,000 troops each. Of course, they all said that this is the elite of our principality.

The Duke of Montfort, Forcade, seems to be in better spirits. Last year, the Ax Bite Pass was re-passed. Although the tax revenue has dropped a lot compared to before Hemgart was destroyed, it has finally recovered some income.

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

They brought a large amount of grain imported from the empire, which largely alleviated Lawn's food shortage.

Everyone was seated immediately, and Lawn Leo Cornwall had the highest status as the Holy Grail Knight + Duke + Kingdom Regent + Commander-in-Chief, then the Holy Grail Knight + the Duke of Hagen with the title of Duke, followed by the Duke of Fulcade and Alder Duke Laird, Karard sat on the fifth seat.

Everyone started discussing.

"We have surrounded Richard Castle." As the deputy appointed by Lawn, De Leonez, a strong and brave Holy Grail Knight, introduced the military situation to everyone: "Richard Castle was established in Braun Two hundred years after the founding of Litania, it was an important stronghold in the north of Mousilon. This place is ruled by the vampire baron Drake, and the castle is very heavily guarded. Our catapults are not enough, so we can only cause limited casualties to the city wall."

"The best God's Blessing Catapult is installed in Kurona. We can't dismantle the God's Blessing Catapult there. Even if the order is given now, it will take several days to dismantle the Catapult." Lawn was sitting On the Mazar, he understood the problem: "We should wait until the mercenary group of the Fireworks Academy arrives before launching an attack, otherwise we will lack heavy siege weapons and elite troops. Your Excellency Hagen, Your Excellency Furkad, I I thought you would lead more reinforcements..."

"It's time for spring plowing, Leon Cole." Duke Hagen immediately shook his head: "My regent Count Jean-Harlan told me that he can only send so many people."

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

"How many reinforcements have come from the south of Lyonnaise?" Lawn then asked Aldred.

"No one came.

"Aldred was a little uneasy. He was too young. The Duke of Lyonnaise hadn't turned thirty this year. He didn't know how to deal with these bad situations. He wrote letters over and over again to let Leonase The former Musilon nobles in the south sent troops, but very few nobles responded. The reason they gave was very simple. If the rebellion in the north was not resolved, they would not be able to send troops to Musillon.

In the current Lyonnaise, as long as a sensible person knows how to hide behind the city wall, the nobles in the south of Lyonnaise 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. .

Listening to the grievances of several dukes, Lawn set his sights on the military flag inside the large tent of the Chinese Army, on which were written the great deeds of his ancestors up to now, and behind him, the statue of the Fairy in the Lake was shining glow.

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

Lawn uttered a silent prayer in his heart.

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

Yes, this is a fair duel. My opponent is Ryan Malcador. The lady is fair. She will not give me guidance. She will only watch our performance. Gradually, Lawn has a new feeling in his heart .

"Speaking of the number of troops, everyone, we must face up to the combat effectiveness of our army." Lawn continued: "If we look at the current situation, the three thousand people in the three northern principalities and the one thousand people in Montfort, Ji The 1,000 people from Solleox, this is all our combat power, and the 5,000 people from the empire are about to arrive. My suggestion is that we should not take the initiative to attack until the allies of the empire arrive."

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

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

"I can't do without them!" Speaking of this issue, Lawn also felt very helpless: "If you don't take them with you, they may riot at any time! Moreover, our supply point is located in the territory of Lyonnaise, as long as we leave , I can be sure that these refugees will immediately attack the warehouses and castles to seize food! So we must take them with us, otherwise once the army enters Mu Xilong, it is very likely that we will face logistical problems. Long's poisonous snake is tantamount to suicide!"

Lawn's analysis is obviously very reasonable. The most fearful thing for a large army is that the front line is fighting and there will be logistics problems. After listening to Lawn's explanation, everyone in the big tent nodded in agreement.

"Then the question now is, do we need to train these serfs so that they can master some basic combat skills, such as spear stabbing?" Duke Hagen continued to ask. The Holy Grail Knight didn't quite understand. These serfs are useless, so how about taking advantage of this time to train them well?

Everyone in the big tent was silent. 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 stronger and smarter." ?”

No matter it was Lawn, Alderard, Furkad or other nobles, they didn't say a word, especially the quartermaster in charge of logistics, he opened his mouth, looked up at Duke Hagen, and replied And bowed his head, not daring to speak.

Duke Hagen is almost eighty years old this year. He is not only a Duke but also a Holy Grail Knight at the pinnacle of legend. No one dared to say anything about his question, and no one wanted to say it.

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

When he fought side by side with Ryan and others, the knights and nobles in the south could speak freely. Both Ryan and Francois were people with great strategies and ideas.

After thinking for a while, Callard spoke. He did not directly answer Duke Hagen's words, but asked the quartermaster: "Now, what is the distribution of these refugee infantry regiments in the camp?"

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

"Yes, they are all rare." Callard couldn't hold back anymore, and he continued: "If we just want to stabilize them, all of them will be barely dealt with, but if we want to train these refugees, Let them master some basic combat abilities, then at least one dry meal and one raw meal should be mixed together?"

The people in the big tent fell silent again.

The dry and thin ones mentioned by Callard do not refer to some kind of human excrement, but food rations. The dry refers to black bread, and the thin refers to porridge mixed with a small amount of grain and wild vegetables.

Now these 17,000 refugees live on porridge every day, and it is a joke to train them at this level.

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

"That's because you didn't understand how Ryan and Francois trained soldiers!" Callard sneered, and he said to Duke Hagen sharply: "The serf infantry regiment under Ryan, two meals It's all dry! There's a vegetable ration every day! Three days there's a broth or roast, and every Sunday there's a baked pie!"

"If there is a war, these soldiers will receive one kilogram of bread, half a kilogram of vegetables and fruits, one hundred grams of meat and one hundred grams of miscellaneous meat (animal offal) every day, and the military pay of twelve copper coins a week will never be paid in full. After going into battle and having enough food, the soldiers composed of serfs will naturally fight to the death, and dare not complain, because they can't find a reason not to work hard! And as long as they make military exploits, they can become freemen!" Karad stood up, His face turned red with anger: "Lian will pay a little military salary. This is a special situation. We won't talk about it, but if we want to train the serfs and let them go into battle, they can't even eat enough. How could the serfs be willing to use their full strength? ?”

After finishing speaking, Callard added a sentence perplexed: "Is it all relying on the grace of the lady to encourage the serfs to fight to the death while hungry?"

"Kalard, you are crazy! How dare you use a lady as a metaphor!" Duke Hagen also stood up, and he was also so angry that his brain was confused: "Do you know what you are talking about? I think you are ..."

"Am I wrong! In Ryan's words, the horse must be desperate, and the horse must not eat beans and carrots, how is this possible?!" Callard did not intend to back down at all, and the two Holy Grail knights stood up like this.

Everyone hastened to persuade.

At this moment, the statue of the fairy goddess in the lake behind Lawn suddenly burst into light, and the goddess just snorted softly. Before everyone could react, the sacred light had faded, and what was left was the sculptor's imprint on the stone statue. His calm face and unpredictable smile.

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

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

"I was impulsive, Your Excellency Hagen, please forgive me." Karard also had no intention of infighting before the battle, and Hagen was not his opponent. If there was really going to be an honor duel, Karard knocked him down, and it would be easy to overwhelm the problem. become complicated.

But Hagen has an excellent quality. The Duke of Giesoleaux is essentially similar to the former Duke of Artois, Chilfroy, in essence, that is, he has excellent personal bravery and military command ability. But in domestic affairs, he behaved very incompetent and naive.

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

After a brief quarrel, everyone returned to the previous topic, and Lawn was frowning. He knew how much trouble these refugees could bring to the army, but he had to take them with him to avoid future troubles, and heard After Callard's remarks, Lawn also understood that it was impossible to train a group of serfs capable of fighting in a short period of 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 chivalry army had captured the Spire Palace, Lawn was instinctively anxious, but now, he can only calm down and order the large group Soldiers first besieged Castle Richard, waiting for the arrival of imperial reinforcements while building fortifications, and Lawn's plan was that he would never fight field battles or siege battles with the undead before the arrival of imperial reinforcements.

It is not only Lawn who is in trouble, but also Matthew Bud.

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

Sky Ghost and Horror Beast riding face, how to lose?

But he just lost. Faced with Ryan's counterattack, Matthew Budd lost very cleanly. When he wanted to counterattack, Richard Castle was besieged and Matthew Bud was hit in the head. After weighing , he had no choice but to retreat.

Because the Spire Palace has been lost, and with the encouragement of the Lake God Battle Flag, he is not sure that he can regain the Spire Palace with a wave of counterattacks, and Richard Castle is still in his hands. The gates from the south to the north will be opened, and the situation will be very unfavorable at that time.

Matthew Bard was very clear-headed, the lost Spire Palace was a sunk cost, and he had to stop the loss as soon as possible, so the army of undead immediately turned around and rushed to Richard's Castle.

Along the way, Matthew Bud only felt an unknown 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?

If there is no Ryan, he will definitely have met the Marquis Suria before. Without the incentive of Ryan's serious injury, he will definitely win the Knights Conference and have a great chance of winning Suria's favor.

If there is no Ryan, the lake goddess Morgiana should have been sacrificed to Nagash by this time! He would have taken the Staff of Nagash from La Messonelle Abbey if it hadn't been for Lane!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! ! ! Matthew Bud only felt that his anger had reached its peak. He stretched out his hands, wanting to tear everything apart. The nameless fire almost engulfed his thoughts.

Can I beat Ryan? !

able! It will definitely work! But I need a change! Mu Xilong's poisonous snake thinking began some profound changes, and something began to erode his soul.

What he didn't know was that when his violent and violent emotions echoed in the warp, in the void, a certain existence cast his gaze on Matthew Bard.

He is the god of trickery, and his attainments in magic can be called the master of magic. He is also familiar with fate, history, and various conspiracies and tricks. He is familiar with the changes and laws of everything in the universe. His plan spans thousands of years. Even knowing the final fate of every distant star, every human being is simply insignificant to him.

Matthew Budd's endless despair, collapsed mentality and hope born of rebirth made him feel tremendous energy, and he knew that his plan could start.

"Change is a good thing!"
