A Will Eternal Chapter 057
On the southeastern edge of Shiwanda Mountain, Luofeng City.
Tap, tap... At the gate of the city, two groups of awe-inspiring cavalry arrived almost simultaneously from the left and right.
Hiss—the war horse roars! The riding skills on both sides are very superb, and they reined in instantly at the same time, avoiding the tragedy of being turned on their backs.
"Haha, it turned out to be General Gary, what a coincidence." A burly man in the middle of the cavalry on the right laughed.
The gloomy middle-aged man on the other side waved his hand and said, "It's really a coincidence. General Barlow, please!"
"Haha, please, please!"
Needless to say, these two were the generals sent by the Thunder and Cangyan Legion to encircle and suppress the Gray Cloaked Army, "Battlefield Crazy General" Barlow, and "Northern Wolf" Gary.
Two teams of cavalry entered the city under the leadership of their respective generals.
"General Barlow, how's the harvest?"
"Hey, don't mention it." Barlow shook his head when he heard the words, "These gray soldiers just made me feel like fighting the Northern Wilderness Rangers. Fight, they will run away. Don't fight, they will also run away. It's urgent Just go straight into the jungle, chasing after him is so fucking tiring!"
"Yeah!" Gary nodded sympathetically, "This terrain is indeed not conducive to a large-scale attack by the Legion."
Barlow also nodded slightly, and said with emotion: "I thought it was simple before. I thought it was just helping the mob. Now it seems that this errand is not easy. Well, I don't know how the Zichen Legion's record is..."
"Zichen Legion? Huh!" Gary's face suddenly became more gloomy, "I have a debt to settle with that face!"
"Oh?" Barlow was surprised.
"...Let's talk about it later. Let's go, go see Commander-in-Chief first." Gary whipped his horse and ran forward.
Passers-by on the road saw the two teams of cavalry in full armor, and naturally retreated to both sides in a hurry. Not long after, the war horse stopped in front of a small manor.
This place is the property of a nobleman in the city, but it seems to be requisitioned now, and the guards in front of the gate have been replaced by soldiers with guns.
Most of the houses in the north are spacious. Barlow and Gary led an adjutant and walked inside through the square while the soldiers saluted all the way.
In front of a hall, an old jazz with luxurious clothes and a big belly greeted him.
"Haha, General Barlow, General Gary, long time no see."
"I have seen Lord Commander." The two generals saluted as they marched.
This noble old knight was the one sent by King Bran's court to announce the encirclement and suppression of the Gray Army, and he was also the nominal commander of the encirclement and suppression. However, after he announced the military edict, he stayed in the city without going out. This is how old people become smart. He knew that the generals of the three major armies would not listen to his orders. As for the soldiers sent by the four major lords who did not listen to the announcement... Uh, leading them is the real disaster. Anyway, the final credit will not be less, so he will eat, drink and have fun behind him with peace of mind.
The siege has been going on for more than ten days now, and the higher-ups are urging on the progress. So he sent people to call the generals from all walks of life, so that he could summarize the achievements and write a gorgeous article of good news.
"Okay, okay. Come on, I found some good wine recently, and I'll drink it today." The commander laughed and led the two generals inside.
"Haha, Commander-in-Chief, you are welcome, please!"
Several people walked into the hall and sat down in order of priority.
During the exchange of greetings, the generals of the four major lords outside the door also came hand in hand.
These generals are the vassals of the lords. Although they have official positions in Bran's military system, their status is not very high. So the commander didn't come out of the hall to greet him, but just made a welcome gesture and said a few words on the scene.
Reporting the results, of course, requires all the staff to be present. Ralph from the Zichen Legion has not yet arrived, so they are all just chatting.
After a while, Gary put down the wine glass heavily, and said coldly: "After all, he is a soldier under the Lord Military God. We can't match this style. Every time he appears at the finale!"
"Haha, Brother Gary, don't worry. General Ralph may be delayed by something, and he must be rushing here now." After speaking, Barlow laughed loudly, "Come on, let's have a toast, Lord Commander."
"Do it!" Several people vassalized.
The leader of several legions is naturally clear about the private holidays. However, he acted as if he had never heard of it, and just smiled and raised his wine glass to thank everyone.
At this moment, a soldier outside came in: "My lord, General Ralph is here."
The commander showed joy on his face: "Haha, good. Wait a moment, everyone, I will go to greet you first."
Before he got up and left his seat, a voice came: "No need!"
Then there was the sound of trivial footsteps, and the calm-faced Ralph led a large group of people to appear.
The commander was obviously taken aback, this is... "Master Commander!" Ralph said calmly with a standard military salute.
"uncle?"
"..."
What followed was a mess of calling names. Most of the nobles are married, which is a choice made for their own interests. This commander is a hereditary marquis, and the students who followed Ralph are all noble families from Bran City. After this meeting, the leader suddenly discovered that there were several relatives and juniors in this remote north.
"Hmph, what is this Ralph thinking? He takes this group of students with him everywhere." Gary seemed very dissatisfied with Ralph, so he had to say a few words about what the other party did.
"Probably because of experience." Barlow said indifferently.
After the excitement, many desks were added to the hall.
After the greeting, the commander cleared his throat: "Generals, Bran's army attaches great importance to this siege. So please report your recent battle results so that I can claim credit for you."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally General Barlow smiled and said: "I'll go first, Bamou is ashamed, and lost four hundred people. The third team of the Gray Army was wiped out, and the number was nearly a thousand."
Wow—the group of students suddenly became a little noisy, as if they were shocked by such a record.
Gary rolled his eyes at Ralph, and said in a cold voice: "The Blue Flame Legion lost 600 people, and wiped out the second gray-clothed army, with more than 800 people."
Compared with the Thunder Legion, such results are naturally much worse.
Seeing that Ralph had no intention of speaking, the generals of the lords pushed out one person and said, "The gangsters of the gray army are all mobs. Seeing our army's battle flag, they fled. In the past few days, our army has completely defeated the gray army. Number of troops. Countless battle knives and thousands of armors were seized..."
"Our situation is similar"
"Me too."
... The corners of Barlow and Gary's eyes twitched, their mouths curled slightly, and they all turned their heads and were speechless.
If you just listen to the superficial meaning of this report, this record is indeed beautiful. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that it actually doesn't say anything in it, such as the number of casualties, the number of enemies killed, and so on. As for the countless swords and armors seized... can those fragmented knives and rotten straw sandals be counted as military exploits? Fortunately, they had the nerve to say it... "Okay, good, good." The commander looked very excited, turned his head and said, "Where's General Ralph?"
He doesn't care about the truth in it, and when the time comes to polish and exaggerate all kinds of data, and then report it to the top, it will be a real military achievement.
"No."
"Okay... um, no?" The commander was taken aback, and exclaimed.
The generals of the other troops all turned their heads in surprise. What kind of strength is the Zichen Army, and they have nothing to gain?
"That's not right!" Gary said with a gloomy face, "A few days ago, didn't you just rob the two gray-clothed troops that my Blue Flame Legion was chasing? Could it be that your Zichen Legion's combat power is already so weak. Didn't eat it?" How many hundred people?"
"Uh, is there such a thing?" Barlow asked in surprise.
A student said with a displeased face: "We have a reason..."
"Shut up! There's no place for you to interrupt when we're talking." Gary leaned forward, his eyes fixed on Ralph's face. "My long spear and swordsman teams chased the remnants of the Gray Clothes Army, and passed by the Zichen Army's defense area. General Relph is a good man, and it's fine if he doesn't help, but he sent someone to block our soldiers. Hmph, today you Don’t blame Gai for reporting to the military if you don’t give me an explanation.”
Fighting on the battlefield for a long time, naturally has a killing intent. In an instant, the temperature in the hall dropped a few points, and it was silent.
"Ahem, General Ralph, you did this..." One side spoke firmly, while the other side did not object. The commander was also the commander in chief of the encirclement and suppression campaign, so he naturally didn't want to see such a thing happen, so he questioned Ralph, whose face was still calm.
Ralph didn't seem to sense the current situation, he just waved his hands back.
The middle-aged adjutant took out a stack of papers from his pocket, and was about to walk out.
"Master Brigadier General!"
The adjutant turned his head in astonishment, and the student who had been scolded before suddenly took something from his hand, and then walked straight to Gary. "Crack", the paper fell on the table. He raised his chin and said proudly: "This is the reason for our Zichen Legion."
After speaking, turn around and return. The middle-aged adjutant couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly.
"Presumptuous!" The officer behind Gary yelled angrily, and was about to rush out and capture this ignorant guy.
Gary waved his hand to stop, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at the student like a snake.
That student was born as a calf and is not afraid of tigers, so he responded with wide-eyed eyes.
"Interesting, really interesting..." Gary smiled, but his words were like the cold wind blowing from the frozen abyss. Those who are familiar with his personality know that this is a sign of extreme anger, "Little guy, I know you are from a noble family. But this is the north, and it is the army. I will leave you with a hand today, so that you can know what rules are!"
After finishing speaking, Gary flicked the table, and the knife and fork on the table suddenly jumped up, and the cyan light soared.
"Stop!" "Wait!"... Bang, bang!
Dole, Dole, Dole, Dole!
There were two explosions in the middle space, and then four knives and forks were nailed to the ground.
"Lei, er, husband!" Words came out of Gary's mouth like a landslide.
Ralph still had a motionless expression. There were no knives and forks on the table in front of him. Obviously, he was the one who blocked the attack on the student's arm just now.
"Ahem, general Gary calm down, why should you be as knowledgeable as a child." Barlow hurried out to smooth things over.
"Yeah, so who hasn't come out and apologized to the general."
"..."
After some reassurance, Gary looked gloomy and said nothing, but he didn't intend to attack again. Of course, the title of the Northern Blue Wolf is not for nothing, and no one would think that this matter should be left alone.
At this time, he was turning over the stacked papers on the table, as if he wanted to see the reason why the Zichen Army amputated his soldiers. I believe that if there are no accidents, he will refute the point of view in the future, and then settle the old and new scores together.
But after a while, his face became more and more gloomy.
boom!
The paper was slapped on the table, Gary stood up, and said bluntly: "Master Commander, Gei has other important matters to attend to, so leave!"
After speaking, he left in a hurry with his adjutant.
... Everyone looked at each other with astonished expressions, and then Barlow rushed to Gary's desk and leaned over to watch.
He paused, then raised his head and looked at Ralph with complicated eyes, and sighed: "The Silent Eagle... well-deserved reputation!"
As soon as these words came out, the commander and several lords and generals got up and left their seats, walking towards this side.
"Eh, one hundred thousand mountains?" A general asked in surprise. He is very familiar with the terrain on the paper, because he has led his troops to fight here many times.
"The main force of the gray-clothed army is in Shiwan Dashan?"
"This area, um, near the black iron mine?"
Several lords and generals all recognized the location circled on the map, and they knew everything in turn. No wonder the gray-clothed army was not wiped out after he robbed it... It turned out that he had guessed the purpose of the other party's transfer, and followed the vine. Find out where the main force of the gray-clothed army is... What is the gap, this is the gap. When everyone was rushing to wipe out groups of gray-clothed soldiers, this side was silently pointing directly at the opponent's headquarters. Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that Gary hurried away with a bad face. This was a strategic loss... Eagles always hover in the sky quietly before looking for prey. kill.
Silent Eagle, well-deserved reputation!
