Chapter 912 Why Can't We Bear Each Other for the Country?

The outskirts of Korona in early October were very lively.

The northern front army led by Callard is now stationed in the outskirts of the city. This army of more than 8,000 people is composed of about 5,500 infantry and more than 2,000 knights. All the principalities of Asia.

Since most of the news from the front was good news, this army did not go to the northern coast to deploy defenses. Instead, it was stationed at the famous Diana Manor on the outskirts of Courona, where Richard's eldest son, Baroness Charles Diana, used to be. This manor is less than five kilometers away from Korona. After Charles was turned into a vampire by Matthew Bard, this manor was confiscated as a matter of course. At the post-war auction, Dahao Hendrik House of the Shang Anuge family spent a lot of money to buy the title deed and use right of this manor for a hundred years through his relationship.

This big businessman is well-known in the old world. The Anyug family is the first few food merchants, liquor distributors and raw material importers in the old world. He likes to talk nonsense after drinking.

Some time ago, this brother said one of the most classic words, "I have killed many people in my life, and my next goal is to defeat the impossible enemy."

No one knows where Hendrik House's confidence comes from, but the next thing this guy does is "peer discussion", lowering the purchase price of grain, and trying to resell grain to the northern part of the empire, Araby, and the border princes. Or even Ulthuan to turn a handsome profit.

Everyone knew what happened next. This group of businessmen was no match for Ryan's endlessly thick treasury, and they all declared bankruptcy. The estate returned to Ryan, and Ryan arranged Diana's estate to the Karard garrison.

The Diana Manor, which covers an area of ​​more than 300 hectares, has an oval-shaped lake shaded by green trees. The scenery is beautiful and suitable for large-scale grazing. More than 8,000 troops are stationed here for military training. They take a day off every ten days to watch the nearby harvest. The soldiers enjoyed the scene quite a bit, and no one thought it was a hard job.

This time the army is full of proud soldiers, especially the elite infantry who participated in the Eight Peaks Expedition. Fortunately, Ryan chose Callard as the coach, the legendary Britannia Heroes, middle-level powerhouses in the sanctuary not only personally participated in the Great Expedition of Bafeng Mountain, but also made countless military exploits. They slaughtered several green-skinned warlords, more than a dozen green-skinned warlords, goblin warlords, giants, and Scar Once the Ratman Warlord, King Strigg, and Horrors announced that he was in command of the army, all the soldiers didn't say a word, and obediently obeyed Karad's orders.

The knight-errants, eager to move and full of meritorious deeds, naturally obeyed the orders of the great hero Karard. The Great Grail of the Sanctuary quickly completed the integration and incorporation of the entire army.

During this process, two very interesting things happened.

The first thing was that two days after moving in, a young knight-errant couldn't understand the pride of the newly-built elite infantry regiment. The confrontation finally came to Karard.

Callard didn't know how to handle it, but Beria immediately gave him advice, and Callard then called the two sides to an honor duel.

The result of the duel is naturally that the veteran of many battles hangs up the ranger knight with equal equipment.

Callard immediately knighted the freeman soldier, and then gave a speech to the knights, saying that if you, the knights and nobles who enlisted here, are all five, then you should go home and farm, and don't be a knight. Shame on His Majesty Lane and Ms.

The errant knights felt deeply ashamed and humiliated. From then on, they began to train seriously and actively seek guidance, vowing never to embarrass the lady and the king.

And the free folk immediately felt their social status improved, and they trained harder. Everyone hoped to get the title of knight, and even have the opportunity to become a knight lord!

The second thing Beria also suggested,

That is, occasionally "competitions" can be held, allowing knights and infantry from different duchies to combine for "competition", knights play polo games, and free folk infantry play football games.

This kind of competition was quickly favored by the army. There was a match in two or three days. The winner not only received a reward, but the knight or soldier who performed the best could also get an extra food promotion.

After a series of competitions, a serf from Winford, Ethan, won the supreme honor of eating the same food as the Holy Grail knights. After hundreds of years, another serf soldier ate openly the use of pepper and saffron. Roast venison marinated in cinnamon.

In this way, relying on the endless activities, the combat effectiveness and tacit understanding of the entire army have been improved.

Under the beautiful autumn night sky, Calad personally sat with Turas, Beria, Meretskov and others, discussing the possible invasion of the barbarians.

Karard learned a good habit from Ryan, that is, as the coach and the holy grail of the sanctuary, Karard is also willing to condescend to use the same food standard as the soldiers, and he seldom prescribes or engages in special things for himself, soldiers Callard would eat whatever they ate, but the amount would be much larger. Everyone understood this, and the Holy Grail Master must have eaten a lot.

Beria actually wanted to find a halfling chef to cook for him, but he had no choice but to follow Karard to eat when he saw Karard doing this.

The standard ration meal for the Northern Front Army is as follows: 750g of fresh whole wheat bread per day, about 100-150g of pork, mutton, chicken or duck per day, a variety of fresh vegetables and a variety of tomatoes, potatoes, and corn Soup, occasional fish, and daily ale and cider per person (poor local produce to drink as water).

Lord knights can eat better buttered white bread, beef, high-quality eel, and enjoy imperial beer and Korona wine. Obviously, the food is better, but overall, there is not much difference from free civilian soldiers. up.

Callard alone ate two catties of buttered whole wheat bread, and more than a catty of butter stewed pork, finished off a large bowl of vegetable salad, and drank a large bowl of corn chowder, Garament The earl said to everyone: "The current information shows that the northern route is very quiet, but there are still barbarian ships on the Chaos Sea from time to time. We must not relax, we must remain vigilant at all times."

"Yes." Turas, Marquis of Loire, stuffed bread in his mouth: "The young lads are still very motivated!"

After chatting for a while, Beria wanted to answer the conversation but couldn't join the topic of the Holy Grail Knights, so he said to General Meretskov, acting commander of the Ugor Legion: "You have been studying for a long time, right? Imagine?"

"Um, I can't say anything about it, I just have a little idea." General Meretskov said cautiously: "It's just a little suggestion. I think the barbarians are most likely to land in two places. That is to say, if the barbarians come over, these two places are most likely to be attacked."

"The port of Hendaye in the northeast and... the town of Chantillon just north of Courona? Why?" Karard asked strangely.

"Because... I think so, if the barbarians try to land on the northern coast, their most likely choice is not the uninhabited coast, but a densely populated port, manors and villages full of farmland, and finally Where there is the potential for a direct and rapid threat to Corona."

"Look, if you land at these two ports and defeat the defenders, the barbarians can instantly attack Alençon Castle, which is the northern gate of Courona, and there are a lot of villages to plunder along the way. I like to march like this. Once the castle of Alençon falls, the barbarians can immediately go straight to the city of Krona, but they can also turn around and plunder the richest Canet area and Ferragos forest area in the north." Meretskov He said cautiously: "Based on my understanding of the Norscans, this is the case. Of course, you are all heroes of the old world. If you have any suggestions, please correct me."

Meretskov's analysis was well-founded and in line with the barbarian's usual style of work. Callard not only turned the idea in his mind again.

The female tsar really doesn't know how to employ people.

How many talents did Ryan get from Kislev?

"Well...send messengers to these two ports and tell the nobles and lords there to be vigilant! If there is an enemy attack, report it immediately!" Karard issued an order decisively.

"Yes!" Beria was the first to respond.

……… I am the dividing line that raises vigilance………

Just as Callard and ordinary soldiers were stirring spoons in a cauldron.

Kislev Castle, Tsar Bokakha Palace, Georgiev Hall.

This hall is the most famous hall in Bokaja Palace, and it is an architectural masterpiece of Kislev craftsmen.

The hall is oval, with 6 gold-plated chandeliers hanging on the dome, each of which weighs 900 kilograms. The dome and the surrounding walls are painted with giant murals of various battles won by Kislev's army for a thousand years.

There are 18 columns on the front of the hall, and the tops of the columns are all molded with statues of successive tsars.

Now, a grand state banquet is being prepared in this hall.

The attendants are calling out the names of the dishes aloud.

“Fish and Shrimp Jelly with Mung Bean Sauce~”

“Brittanian matsutake consomme~”

"Kislev Roasted Pig's Knuckle~"

“Flame skewered chicken skewers~”

“Spicy foie gras baked in thin red sugar sauce~”

“Midden collar snowflake steak~”

“Sea bass with red gourd sauce and onions~”

"Errengrad Caviar~"

“Osuan hazelnut chocolate mousse~”

“Poldereau, Brittany First Class Red Yanrong Wine~”

"Now, our most honorable Tsar Kislev, King Kislev, Grand Dukes Kislev, Grand Dukes Erengrad and Prager, Leader of the Ice Witch Sisterhood, Queen Miska's blood The successor of... (18 titles omitted)...ready to dine!"

The female czar Katarin was wearing a czar crown and an ice blue classical embroidered embroidered female czar dress. Under the guidance of her attendants, she slowly stepped into the head seat of the extra-long dining table. The female czar obviously I'm not in a good mood.

She sat down slowly and looked at the dishes in front of her. She felt irritable and had no appetite, so she said casually: "I just order here, I really can't move the fork."

The squires and servants immediately knelt in horror and confessed, no one wanted to be turned into an ice sculpture.

Katarin's face was cold. In fact, her accusation was justified. Normally, a standard state banquet should have thirteen dishes, but today's state banquet has only eleven dishes, two less, which is enough to make many people He was put in a Cheka prison.

Like many Jialan witches, she also likes luxurious life enjoyment, especially the queen's standard life enjoyment. For Kislev, the empress has sacrificed a lot, and the standard of thirteen dishes has been subtracted by two. Why can't the soldiers and Boyes who are paying all day can't tolerate each other for the country?

Also, why are my subordinates so useless? The capable ones are disobedient and disloyal, and the obedient ones are not capable enough? Why don't we in Kislev not have Carl's Marshal Rick Helberg, Hunter Marshal Wolfhart, or Ryan's Holy Grail, such as Francois, Berhemond, and Karard, who can stand alone? What about talent?

Katharine was very upset.

The female czar didn't touch the knife and fork, and everyone didn't dare to move until Katarin talked about the latest information.

Although Prager did not report that Vosgrade Fortress was surrounded by Chaos army, scouts disappeared, and then sent 5,000 reinforcements to support it, but there was no news about it, but Katarin was never a person with no information. In fact, when there was no news from the 5,000 reinforcements back to Prager, Katharin had already got the news from Ye Ruofu, the head of the Cheka.

Compared to the fact that General Pavlov and Prager's Duma representative still had a fluke mentality for the five thousand people, Katarin had already made an inference in her heart that the five thousand people marched in a hurry and for a long time. If there is no news, it is almost certain that they were ambushed and the whole army was wiped out.

The inexplicable invasion of the barbarians made the Queen very displeased, and we are preparing for the millennium celebration here! You barbarians didn't go to fight the dark elves, why did you suddenly come south to fight us?

"I have an inference, Your Majesty." Marshal Kislev Konev said seriously: "I think that no matter how big the barbarian dragon boat fleet is, it is limited, which means that not all barbarians are capable of participating War with the dark elves."

"You mean, some barbarians may not be able to participate in the expedition, so they targeted us?" Kislev Grand Marshal Dimitri Zayev continued: "It is possible that they will not be able to get the The opportunity to perform in front of the God of Darkness, so I turned around and headed south."

"So, can it be considered that a Chaos army of at least 10,000 people surrounded the fortress of Vosglade, and used the strategy of encircling and attacking reinforcements to wipe out Prager's reinforcements?" Marshal Kislev Hussars, Lion Romanov, the head of the Eagle Legion, put forward his own opinion: "The current question is, what is the situation in the Vosgrad Fortress, and are the defenders still resisting?"

"Worthgrad Fortress is solidly defended. It has more than 30 cannons and more than 300 muskets imported from the empire. The soldiers there have also been tested for a long time. It should not be a problem to stick to it for a week." Kislev Northern Military Region Commander Zaka Fedosov said: "I have checked the defense of Vosgrad, it is very strong, there is no reason for it to fall soon."

"Besides, news also came from the front line. It seems that the barbarians are still besieging Dulong City. As a result, it took a week to break through not only one line of defense in Dulong City, but also lost more than 3,000 people. Dulong City only suffered casualties. More than a dozen people have been killed." The court minister Petrov said quickly: "This shows that the barbarians only look powerful and powerful, but in fact they are just routinely going south to plunder. Your Majesty only needs to call a large army. These barbarians Will pay the price for my stupid decision."

Bear Cavalry Marshal Rokossovsky always felt that something was wrong. The handsome Bear Cavalry Marshal always felt that everyone was too optimistic about the battle situation, so he quickly said: "There is no more news at the moment. We will make a decision now." It is still too early to judge, and the barbarians may arrive at the city of Praga at any time, we must gather the army as soon as possible!"

"That's right!" The empress sitting on the throne suddenly stood up.

"This time, I will personally conquer!" (Bo Xingshi Academy)
