Chapter 426 There Are More Shameless Than This
Seeing the hesitation in Thorne's gaze, General Pedro yelled inwardly, and hurriedly added: "Soldier, speak out your dreams boldly, no one can threaten you here, not only I can guarantee you, Your Excellency the Grand Duke will not allow such despicable things to happen."
General Esmond frowned again, glaring at General Pedro, expressing that he didn't like such remarks.
"Thank you two generals for your attention. Your attention makes me both happy and uneasy, because I don't have any earth-shattering skills, nor superhuman abilities. I'm just an ordinary member of the Broken Rangers. Do my part and work hard to maintain our common home.”
Captain Southell bit the bullet and weighed his words carefully.
"To tell you the truth, before I joined the Broken Rangers, I chose to join the Broken Blood Cavalry, but at that time my ability was limited, and I couldn't even meet the minimum selection criteria for the Broken Blood Cavalry, so I had to settle for the next best thing and enter In addition to the Broken Rangers, the Broken Blood Cavalry has always been my dream team.
But you can't forget your roots, I was trained by the Rangers, I can't abandon my team just by turning around, even if the blood cavalry is a brother army, because if I can abandon the Rangers today, I can tomorrow Abandon the broken blood knight, as long as I face a better choice.
And for a long time, I think that there is no important distinction between Broken Blood Cavalry and Broken Rangers, only responsibilities, and the two complement each other without distinguishing each other.
If there is no blood cavalry, our rangers are just a group of duckweeds that have lost their foundation. No matter how much information we collect, what is the use? Only a powerful executive unit like the Blood Cavalry of the Broken Cut can effectively use the information collected by the Rangers of the Cut.
If there is no Broken Ranger, the Broken Blood Cavalry will lose their eyes and return to the previous blind state again. They don't know where their enemies are, and how to exert their greatest strength. Every time they hit the enemy's Achilles heel?
I am not afraid of the jokes of the two generals. I have no way to make a choice in this matter. After all, one is my dream, and the other is the army that I feel sympathetic to. I can only say that I obey the arrangements of the generals. Wherever I am needed, I will where to go.
As far as the current situation is concerned, I personally think that my ability to play in the Broken Ranger is better. After all, I am already familiar with everything here. If I rashly enter the Broken Blood Cavalry, I am just a novice. ride better. "
"Haha..." Captain Southell's words had just landed. Since he came in, Grand Duke Cedric, who had said something before, broke out into a burst of uncontrollable laughter and said three good words in a row.
Although Grand Duke Cedric didn't stand up, his waist straightened even more, his eyes widened, as if a substantial ray of light shot out, slowly sweeping across the face of his eldest son and his confidant, He said coldly: "Thanks to the fact that you have been in high positions for many years, even the relationship between blood cavalry and rangers is not a single young man can see through.
Especially you, Pedro, as an old man who has been with me for many years, you have seen the rangers I formed with your own eyes. You should be aware of the dilemma faced by the blood cavalry before the rangers, and you have also experienced the changes that the rangers have brought to us. , why are you still so short-sighted? If you can win everything simply by strengthening the combat power of the blood cavalry, why should I bother to build up the rangers? Or do you think I'm an idiot? "
Pedro, who was reprimanded in public, was like a boiled prawn, his bald head seemed to be shining red, but he didn't dare to refute.
General Esmond just let out a schadenfreude smile.
Grand Duke Cedric turned his head and bombarded him, "You still have the face to smile? You can't come up with any useful tricks other than using this simple and rude method? You can't keep people, other people's problems It’s just that on the one hand, your own problems are the main ones. Fortunately, your soldiers gave you face and didn’t choose blood cavalry in public. Otherwise, if it were me, I would be ashamed to death. I usually ask you to read more books, each of you Pushing and blocking, it seems to be pouring poison into your brains, and if you continue like this, you will lead a whole team to death."
Grand Duke Cedric gave Captain Southall a thumbs-up and said: "Soldier, you can withstand the pressure and temptation and make such a choice, just to be the captain of the Ranger squad. There are huge loopholes in the talent selection system of the Fort, and we must correct this. Recently, I am planning to build the Guards Staff Department, are you interested in coming to help me?"
ah!
This time, it wasn't just Captain South who was dumbfounded.
The other people present were also dumbfounded. After a long time of teaching, the emotional Grand Duke Cedric was also preparing for his end to win people.
They admitted that the young captain performed really well, especially the final defense, which can also be called wonderful.
It is somewhat understandable for the two generals to tear each other face to face, after all, it involves their old grievances.
Grand Duke Cedric jumped in, feeling a little incompetent.
What exactly did he see in the other party?
Generals Esmond and Pedro blushed even more, their necks thickened.
They just reprimanded them to admit it, but what is his meddling?
One second he was reprimanding them for fighting openly and secretly to grab talents, and the next second he did it himself. Is there anything more shameless than this at this time?
They have such a habit, who did they learn from?
He was about to speak, but Grand Duke Cedric stared back with fierce eyes.
"It is my greatest honor to serve His Majesty, and I am willing to obey all of His Majesty's arrangements." Captain Southell felt that his body was a little lighter, and performed a loyalty salute as quickly as possible.
Facing the choices given by General Esmond and General Pedro, he would still hesitate, but facing the choice given by Grand Duke Cedric, he would not at all, even if the other party asked him to raise horses, he would not hesitate. No complaints.
"Okay, that's it." Grand Duke Cedric showed a satisfied smile, "You two stay and listen, come and add a stool for them."
No matter how much resentment Edmonds and Pedro had in their hearts, they could only obediently accept this reality at this moment.
Fighting with the tyrant, Grand Duke Cedric, will only make him more embarrassing in the end, and they are a little uncertain about each other's true thoughts now.
This is the first time in history that this kind of thing happened. There must be something about this young man that they haven't seen.
In particular, Grand Duke Cedric just mentioned a new term - the General Staff of the Guards.
Many people were stunned by Grand Duke Cedric's sudden entrance, ignoring what was the real key.
After all, no matter how good Captain South is, in their eyes, he is just a centurion at present, and Grand Duke Cedric's plan to form a new department is the big move that really involves the whole of the Fortress of Blood.
Soon, some guards added two stools at the bottom of the military conference table, Captain Yales and Captain South sat down at the same time, but it was more uncomfortable than standing just now.
Not only because it was the first time for them to participate in this kind of high-level meeting, but also because the presence there usually made them look up to the existence, which made them a little trembling.
Soon they discovered that there was no need for this at all, and the attention of the crowd was no longer on them. They were just two insignificant observers, and there was no chance to intervene, because the next topic was too much for them. It's high-end, at least for them now, the amount of information is a bit large.
Grand Duke Cedric knocked on the table and said, "Judging from a series of comprehensive news, the young tiger in Ulan Bage couldn't bear it anymore, and was going to attack the old lion in the east to complete the plan to dominate the Odin Prairie. Great dream."
Captain Southell couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Isn't the Western Odin Empire preparing to knock down, but is preparing to launch an all-out war against the Eastern Odin Empire?
It seems that this possibility is indeed possible. The information I have collected is all about the core tribes of the Theodin Empire, who are gathering troops and supplies on a large scale and preparing to go to war, but there is no clear news that they are planning to attack Broken Blood Castle.
Many of the conclusions I draw are based on my previous experience.
Captain Southell couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Blood Castle has multiple intelligence lines, which can be cross-compared. Grand Duke Cedric and the others were not misled by him, otherwise his crime would be serious.
"Of course, it can't be ruled out that Ulan Bari played tricks with us, making us mistakenly think that they were going to attack the Eastern Odin Empire, and then turned around and led the army to the outside of the Blood Fortress. After all, our rangers stared at them. The main tribe is not a secret." Grand Duke Cedric looked around, "What do you think about this?"
"The possibility of the former should be greater. Over the years, the Theodin Empire has been preparing for this matter from top to bottom, especially in recent years, after the young tiger swept away the internal opposition forces. , has been carrying out the concept that the tiger royal family will lead the Odin Empire to reproduce the glory of the Odin Empire, and now it has married the fox princess as the queen, winning the support of the queen family.
I heard that this queen is not only as beautiful as Queen Miranda, but also as wise as her. Ulan Bari, which is being sung all over the prairie, is the reincarnation of Emperor Odin and will lead the Odin orcs to a new era. Brilliant is her handwriting, and this series of information shows that they are preparing to start a full-scale war against the Eastern Odin Empire.
However, these are secondary. The real problem should lie with the Eastern Odin Empire. There are rumors that the old lion Azlan will not be able to get sick at the beginning of spring this year. Without his suppression, his descendants For the sake of the throne, one by one began to be restless and constantly rubbing against each other. This is definitely an excellent opportunity for the Theodin Empire. If Ulan Baz has a plan, he will never let it go. "
General Esmond, as the direct commander of the Breach Rangers, his main job is to collect intelligence on the two Odin Empires, the East and the West, so he naturally knows the situation here like the back of his hand.
"I agree with General Esmond's analysis." Although the relationship between General Pedro and General Esmond is not good in private, it is also because of personality reasons, not because of any personal enmity between the two parties, and in their current positions, Separating private emotions from business affairs is a necessary quality, otherwise it will be easily used by the enemy. This is what they do, so they naturally know the big taboo inside.
"In addition to the above series of reasons, the most important thing is the interests. In the past years, the Odin orcs have been on the sidelines on a large scale, mostly because of the large-scale snow disasters and plagues on the Odin prairie, which caused large-scale deaths of livestock. Those Odin orc herders I couldn't survive, so under the guidance of those big tribes, I went southward, trying to pass this disaster on to us.
Since the Xiodin Empire acquired the Miracle Peninsula, their disaster resistance has become much stronger, especially after Ulan Bari took the throne, they have attached great importance to the agricultural development of the Miracle Peninsula. After ten years, it is said that they have accumulated a lot of food. Under such circumstances, even a fool would not come to chew on our hard bones. "
"Don't say it, it's true. In the past ten years, it seems that all the tribes who have come to harass us are from the East Odin Empire. The West Odin Empire is much more peaceful than before. I thought we were afraid of being beaten. Well, the feeling is that life is better, and I don't want to work hard."
"The analysis of the two generals makes sense. The possibility of the West Odin Empire attacking the East Odin Empire is far higher than ours."
"They dog-eat-dog, beating their lives to death. We can breathe a sigh of relief. Within three to five years, there will be no danger of knocking on the edge. If we are lucky, in ten or eight years, we can all sleep peacefully, Dong Odin Although the empire has declined in recent years, no matter how weak it is, a thin camel is bigger than a horse. As long as it is slightly integrated, it can still pull out millions of soldiers. The Theodin Empire wants to eat its old master. I'm afraid it's not that easy, if you're not careful, you'll be stuck."
The Odin Empire was divided into two parts, East and West.
This kind of division is not as simple as half of each family in the mathematical sense.
The borders of Lords and nobles in the Byron Alliance are only a hundred kilometers away, and there are usually many ambiguous areas. The tribes are all in a nomadic state, the border line is more blurred, and it has a lot to do with the strength of both sides.
When the Theodin Empire just split from the Odin Empire, it was obviously in a weak state. After all, the Lion King Court had been in the dominant position of the Odin Empire for more than two hundred years. With the support of the Ding orc tribe, the Theodin Empire at that time was mainly huddled in the Miracle Peninsula, surreptitiously grazing in the surrounding grasslands.
At that time, the ratio of territory to area was nine to one, with the East Odin Empire accounting for nine and the West Odin Empire accounting for only one.
The Eastern Odin Empire occupies an absolute advantage in land and military strength, and regards the Western Odin Empire as a serious problem, and wants to eradicate him completely.
It's just that the ruler of the lion clan royal family was an out-and-out stupid person, not to mention his high-sightedness and low-handedness. Fortunately, he was rejoicing, holding a good hand and playing poorly.
Within ten years, he organized three consecutive conquests against the Theodin Empire, the first two were unsuccessful, and the third time he was directly ambushed by the Theodin Empire, killing his most elite army of 200,000 troops. buried.
Because at that time, his eyes were only on Theodin Empire, and he forgot that there was a Byron Alliance behind him.
They have worked so hard to make the Odin Empire fall into a state of division. How could it be possible for him to easily restore unity?
As long as there is a chance, they will frantically stab behind the Eastern Odin Empire.
In the next hundred years, the Western Odin Empire has been going uphill, and the Eastern Odin Empire has continued to lose land and tribes until now.
Even so, in terms of area and population alone, the East Odin Empire still dominates, with a total area more than twice that of the West Odin Empire.
Demographics are a little trickier.
After all, the Theodin Empire is no longer a pure nomadic people, especially the Miracle Peninsula, which has become a standard semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic.
The biggest advantage of farming people over nomadic people is that the same land supports different populations.
On the same piece of land of hundreds of kilometers, the nomads can only support a tribe of less than 100,000. When it comes to farming, there is no burden to double the population base by ten times, even if the farming efficiency is low.
Therefore, in recent decades, the situation of the two Odin empires has reversed. The West Odin Empire has more offenses, and the East Odin Empire has focused on defense, especially after the black tiger Ulan Bari came to power.
The strategy of the Byron Alliance has also changed, and it has begun to frantically drag the Theodin Empire back.
As long as the Eastern Odin Empire doesn't take the initiative to provoke them, the Broken Blood Knights of the Broken Blood Castle will not take the initiative to trouble them.
There is another update tonight!
