Chapter 126 Pre-War Meeting
After the pre-war meeting, Li Cha received a batch of supplies.

Surprisingly, this batch of supplies is complete, and there are no deductions.

In addition to food and grass, there are also clothes, shoes and socks, pots and pans.

Li Cha also received a batch of weapons, including spears and epees, the quality is not bad, there is no rust, and they can be used after they are brought back.

Saville, the butler of the Consul of Jerram, also came to Richard's barracks in person, and sent [-] pieces of chain mail, [-] iron helmets, [-] enchanted crossbows, and [-] explosive arrows.

It is directly stated that the purchase of this batch of equipment was funded by the Consul Jerram. I hope that Richard can put aside his prejudices and work together to eliminate the rebels as soon as possible.

Li Cha divided this batch of equipment into a part of Baron Sharp. Of course, the more precious materials such as chain mail, iron helmets, enchanted crossbows, and bursting arrows were all equipped in his direct troops.

Although the rebels entered Brenner County, the county town of Osma was still in the hands of the Brenner noble coalition forces.

It is about eighty kilometers from Leyteburg to Osma.

There is also a military station to rest along the way.Richard was going to spend three days rushing to Osmar Castle.

After wrapping up the leggings, the serf soldiers can travel a little easier, especially when marching in the jungle, the leggings have a very good effect.

Although this small piece of equipment is inconspicuous and the price is very low, it is very useful in war, preventing the legs from being scratched and promoting blood circulation in the legs.

With the help of leggings, as well as the improvement of willpower, physical strength, and team system, in the next three days, the coalition forces of the nobles of Heihe County came to Osma City with ease.

Seeing the reinforcements coming, they didn't seem to be serf soldiers with low combat effectiveness. There were hundreds of cavalry to help out, and dozens of Warcraft horses in total. The Brener nobles were also very happy.

After entering the city, Li Cha first settled down the soldiers, and then rushed to the City Lord's Mansion with a few barons, preparing to meet the main officers of the Brenner noble coalition army and hear the real thoughts of the frontline officers.

Set up the soldiers and inform the officers, after a little busy, night has fallen.

The light in the room became weak, Li Cha lit two candles in the military tent, the candles were burning quietly, the flame flickered.

Candlelight is projected on the wall, reflecting crisscross light and shadow.

After waiting for less than an hour, all the high-ranking officers in Osmar Castle came to the venue.

Adeles, the mayor of Brenner County, also came to the scene in person. He looked a little disheveled, probably fooling around with his lover, and hurried over to the meeting after receiving a summons from Richard.There was still a little displeasure on his face.

Seeing that most of the people had arrived, Li Cha took out the letter of appointment signed by Duke Roger himself, read it out, and then let everyone circulate it.

"Duke Roger appointed me as the commander of Brenner County, with full authority to command the noble coalition forces of the two counties. Whether you are satisfied or not, the order has been issued. As soldiers, you must obey the military order.

For the nobles who are not present today, I hope everyone will be notified. If they don’t come to the meeting next time, I will ask them to pay a generous fine. "

In the Kingdom of Grant, the status of nobles is naturally different from that of commoners.

Li Cha could make an example of serf soldiers, kill soldiers through strict military laws, and intimidate soldiers to obey orders.

But for nobles with titles, it is not easy to kill people.

Only nobles with titles can be killed unless serious losses are caused.

After the war, he had to be questioned by the noble council to explain the necessity of killing hereditary nobles.

Not to mention Richard, even a commander in chief like Duke Roger would not take a knife against a hereditary noble unless it was absolutely necessary.

"I have just arrived at the front line and I don't know much about the enemy situation. Please tell me about the enemy situation from the officer in Brenner County."

After Richard finished speaking, he stared at the noble officer in Brenner County, only to see Baron Praney standing up, pointing to the simple map on the crime table, and said: "After the rebels entered Brenner County, they have already broken through. Two baronies. We have recently investigated, and there are signs of a large-scale rebel army gathering, and it seems that they want to attack the city of Osma."

"What is the strength of the rebel army?"

"Most of the rebels are rabble. But the cultist Scarlet Horn cannot be underestimated. There are a small number of elite soldiers.

In addition, there is a blood-boiling potion inside the rebel army, which will be used by some cultists before each battle.

After using the blood-boiling potion, the cultist soldiers immediately become angry and violent, and their physical fitness will triple, and they can already compete with elite veterans and even professionals.

We also seized several blood-boiling potions, and found that the effect of this potion is only half an hour, which is enough to fight a short-term war.

There are serious sequelae of using potions, potions will draw part of the power of the source of life.After using the blood-boiling potion, the physical fitness of the soldiers will be severely reduced, and some people's strength and physical strength are not even comparable to adult women.

Soldiers who take blood-boiling medicine are called blood-boiling converts. These people are very explosive. When encountering a large number of blood-boiling converts, it is difficult for us to win a frontal battle. "

"Have you ever caught a Scarlet Horn cultist?"

"Indeed, some were caught. Through divine interrogation by priests of the Church of Dawn, we know that the cultists in the Scarlet Horn are divided into five classes.

The highest level is the leadership of the cult. There are a total of six people including the Pope, the High Priest, and four cardinals.Now the one who came to our Grant Kingdom is Cardinal Marlow the Nightwalker.

Below the leadership are the high priests and cardinals.It is Cardinal Colevan who is now commanding the rebel army in Brenner County.

The third level is the local bishop, who is responsible for managing the cult activities in a certain area, usually held by the cultists of the third or fourth rank.The reason why the rebellion broke out in Canyon County was that the cultists of the Scarlet Horn carried out missionary activities more than ten years ago.

The fourth level is the missionaries. These people are the foundation of the cult Scarlet Horn cult organization, and they carry out the orders of the upper echelons.Responsible for carrying out various religious ceremonies, prayers, preaching and other activities, and supervising the behavior of other believers.

Generally speaking, cultists preach in secret, and it is difficult for outsiders to mix in.

The lowest level is ordinary believers, and there are many fanatics among these people.Believe that after death, you can enter the kingdom of the God of Slaughter and gain eternal life.

Most of the people who took the initiative to take the blood-boiling potion, which caused us to be disadvantaged in combat, were these people. "

After listening to Baron Praney's introduction, Li Cha immediately felt the severity of the situation.

If the cost of refining boiling blood potion is not high, the Scarlet Horn can produce a large number of fanatic soldiers.

The impact of these fanatic soldiers is somewhat stronger than that of the orc army.

Think about thousands of cultist soldiers, all of whom have professional combat power, and charge at the same time. Although the duration is shorter and the equipment is slightly better, it is enough to defeat a main army.

To deal with such explosive cultists, they can only use the monster cavalry, which has the characteristics of long-range combat and high speed. No wonder the noble coalition forces in Brenner County were so happy to find that Richard brought the magic beast cavalry for reinforcements.
