Chapter 125 Entrusted with an Important Task

Although William was not transferred to the Legion Department as the deputy commander, he was promoted to a higher rank after all, and his influence in the Northern Army increased greatly.

The third battalion he was transferred to was also the main battalion of the Northern Army, and its combat effectiveness was stronger than the sixth battalion.

With him in the Northern Army, Bernie had someone above him, and the people below were all backbones promoted by William.

Even if the new captain wanted to replace his own people, it would take a long time to slowly mobilize.

After all, it was difficult to easily replace people in the army without vacancies and mistakes.

Richard greeted his third uncle Bernie and sat in the seat of the commander of the Black River County Nobles Coalition. Looking at the officers around him, Richard's position was relatively forward.

All the officers who attended the meeting were present, but Jerram and the butler Savile stood at the door of the City Lord's Mansion, respectfully waiting for someone.

"The Black River County Nobles Coalition came yesterday. How is their quality?"

Seeing that the commander-in-chief Duke Roger had not arrived yet, Jerram asked Savile quietly.

"I looked around and saw that Richard had a good sense of the overall situation. He mobilized three main squadrons and a squadron of Warcraft cavalry. Half of the noble coalition forces in Heihe County are elite soldiers."

"I wanted to deal with Richard, but I didn't expect him to mobilize elite soldiers. I'm a bit caught in a dilemma. I don't know what to do.

"The Bloody Horn rebelled, and the rebellion has been delayed. At this critical moment, we must not fight internally. '6''9''s''h''u''x''.''c''o''m'The old fox in the capital can't hide the noise. He will definitely be held accountable when the time comes.

Besides, Richard has a very bad temper. If we punish him, this person's backlash may be fatal. Now we need him to contribute. Don't annoy him and cause trouble for yourself.

I think the army led by Richard is the most elite, and logistics should give priority to him. This will not only consume the elite soldiers under Richard's command, but also leave a reputation of taking the overall situation into consideration in the capital. "

"You are right. Since I cannot afford to offend a young man like Richard, I might as well support him and let him fight the rebels head-on to consume his strength before making the next plan."

Just as the two were whispering, Duke Roger, the commander-in-chief of this rebellion campaign, rode a unicorn to the provincial governor's residence.

Roger is King Charles's younger brother. He has two titles, one is the Duke of the Court and the other is the Hereditary Earl.

Although the Duke of the Court sounds good, it requires the trust of the kingdom to gain power.

And the Duke of the Court is not a hereditary title. It will be reduced to the next generation.

After five generations, the descendants will become ordinary people.

The hereditary earl is the real noble of the kingdom. As long as the territory is there, the title can be inherited.

But it is very difficult to become a noble. Killing legends on the battlefield and commanding a famous victory... Fight, expand the territory for the Kingdom of Grant, and make military achievements. Or make military achievements many times and accumulate enough fiefs.

In the past hundred years, there are only two new earls in the Kingdom of Grant, Roger and Martins.

Although Roger is about the same age as William, his achievements are much greater than William.

Although he is not as famous as Martins, who killed the orc legend, the achievements accumulated over the years are enough to become a hereditary earl.

Two years ago, Roger defeated the orc army with his Warcraft cavalry and played a very critical role.

This time, the king did not use Martins to quell the rebellion, but chose Roger. In fact, it was to let Roger accumulate military exploits and increase his prestige, and by the way, he could make a fortune from the war and speed up the territory.

It is rumored that King Charles advocated the appointment of Martins as the commander, but Duke Brena advocated Roger.

Duke Brena is over 180 years old. The knight bloodline of the Grant royal family is the Fiery Lion, and the source of the extraordinary bloodline is not the immortal species.

Even if precious potions are used, it can only last for 20 years at most.

If Roger cannot take up the responsibility in 20 years, the political structure of the Grant Kingdom may be in trouble.

Duke Jonathan, the Dragon Blood Knight, may have a great prestige and suppress others.

Although there are five legends in the Grant Kingdom, the other three are warriors, and one is a vassal of Duke Edward.

Legendary warriors do not have bloodline spells, and their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of legendary knights. The difference between the two families is not small. It takes two or three people to fight against the legendary knight.

Besides, the life span of a legendary warrior is only 150 years, while the legendary knight of the dragon vein can live for 300 years. By then, there may be a situation where the outside is heavy and the inside is light.

For the next 200 years, the Grant royal family will also live in the shadow of Duke Jonathan. Once the power of the two families is unbalanced, the Grant dynasty will be in danger of collapse.

Roger greeted Jerram, then nodded to Savile and entered the venue.

Roger spread out a map, pointed to the Victory City in Canyon County on the map, and said: "According to the secret report, the Blood Horn is ready to hold a large-scale blood sacrifice in the Victory City, hoping to awaken the God of Killing.

The date of the blood sacrifice is set on October 14, which is the birthday of the God of Killing.

In order to prevent the evil god from waking up early, we must break through the Victory City before October 14 and destroy the blood sacrifice ceremony of the Blood Horn. "

Hearing this explosive news, Richard was shocked.

He had been in the Dawn Continent for eleven years and had only heard of the Seven Gods Church. He did not expect that there were evil gods in this plane.

Richard was confused about the God of Slaughter.

After all, Richard's background was very low, and he was not aware of any slightly secret information.

However, hearing the name of this evil god, it seems that he is not easy to provoke, and Richard is a little worried.

Seeing the solemn expressions of the officers present, Roger knocked on the table and said, "The cult organization of Bloody Horn has a total of six legends. The legendary black magic master who came to our Grant Kingdom to cause trouble this time is the Night Walker Marlo.

But don't worry, the Dawn Church will send a cardinal Mavila to help us. Marlo will be dealt with by the legends of the Dawn Church. Our mission is to suppress the rebellion and kill the cultists hiding in the country.

I decided to use the two battalions of the Northern Legion and the Royal Knights as the core to go straight to the rebel base camp, Victory City. The noble coalition of Roman County and the noble coalition of Wright County will follow the main force to fight.

The noble coalition of Black River County is strong and can take on the task of a detachment. Reinforce Brena County and cooperate with the noble coalition of Brena County to eliminate the rebels.

After entering Brena County, Baron Richard will serve as the commander of the noble coalition of the two counties."

"Guarantee to complete the task."

Brena County has a large population, almost twice that of Black River County, with more than one million people. Although the nobles of this county are already in the rear, they will still be recruited to participate in the orc invasion war every time the orcs invade. Their combat experience is not as good as that of Black River County, but it is better than that of Canyon County further south.

The hereditary nobles of Brena County have been passed down for many years, and their territory has been developed earlier. They are generally richer than the nobles of Black River County. They can support more off-duty soldiers under their command.

Because they are defending their land and their homes, the hereditary nobles of Brena County have tried their best. The noble coalition of this county is much stronger than the coalition organized by Black River County. There are a total of 16 squadrons of regular troops and 12 squadrons of auxiliary troops. There are more than 4,000 people in total.

According to convention, the commander of the Brena noble coalition should be the commander-in-chief, and Richard should be the deputy commander of the coalition.

Richard has never met Duke Roger, but he didn't expect him to entrust him with an important task to take a general view of the situation.
