Durin's Diary

Chapter 629 Follow-up
Lord Durin's new army performed excellently on the first day.

Although everyone feels that the new weapons give these young people a great advantage, it is undeniable that these young people have performed very well.

After all, no matter how stupid a person is, he would not think that those green-skinned orcs could walk these 600 meters - although those automatic guns called machine guns did not fire.

In the afternoon, field vehicles towing several carriages entered the rear of the battlefield.

Rota recognized the car as the logistics supply vehicle developed by Lord Du Lin. Only a few of them were needed to provide hot meals to regimental units.

Although everyone understands that having hot food on the battlefield is good enough and it is impossible to be as sumptuous as what everyone eats at home, as a Savoy, being able to eat hot food on the battlefield is a pleasure.

While waiting for the enemy and afternoon tea, young people from the staffs of various countries gathered together to discuss the strength of Lord Durin's new army.

Rota was very optimistic about this army - not because of the good impression that the young man Rovsky gave him, but because before he shot the green-skinned orc, several guns had been pointed at the green-skinned orc, but no one fired.

Because Rovsky's raised hand did not fall down.

Because of the angle, Rota saw what was happening before he turned around and immediately raised his hand.

But he did not order the shooting, and the young man gave Duke Alessandro face.

Everyone says that in the world of the aristocracy, face is always given by everyone.

It seems that Duke Alessandro's face will not fall to the ground as long as he is still alive.

The reason is simple: Lord Du Lin is his grandson-in-law.

However, not everyone can see these things, and Rota does not blame them. After all, they are not as idle as Rota and can not devote so much time to observing people's expressions.

Rota also remained silent until someone called him - it was a major general from the Northern Kingdom, who also came to listen and obviously noticed that Rota was absent-minded.

"You're quite familiar with Major Rovsky. Tell us what you think of him."

"The army is strictly disciplined and everyone is united." Rota thought about it and answered without hesitation.

The major general raised his eyebrows and leaned on the armrest of the sofa. "Interesting, how did you figure that out?"

"You can see he and his subordinate commanders are all wearing combat uniforms. There are no insignia on the shoulders of their uniforms, only armbands representing different positions. The soldiers will definitely understand." Rota simply drew the armband patterns on the blackboard: "He has a sword-wing insignia, the regimental commissar has a shield-wing insignia, the company commander has a double sword insignia, and the company commissar has an eagle shield insignia. Soldiers also have several different insignias. I think there should be insignias for riflemen, marksmen, and machine gunners, depending on their functions. But I'm not sure what they are, after all, I don't pay much attention to the soldiers' insignia."

The major generals who were listening were all applauding.

"His Highness Zaigu's major staff officer has good eyesight." The major general turned around and said with a smile.

It was not until then that Rota noticed that the person sitting behind the major general was the eldest son of the King of Savoy.

The young man hurriedly saluted his parents who provided him with food and clothing.

"You see, Lord Durin's new army is very divided into smaller groups, but that's actually a good thing. For those of us who don't know their ranks, it's very difficult to find their commanders within the ranks." Zaigu took the stage. The son of the king looked at the blackboard. "You said you had strict military discipline, but how did you see the unity between the ranks?" Rota pointed to the carriages. "I saw Lord Durin's logistics hot food carriage in the Great Forest last year. They used large pots. The orc troops Lord Durin trained at the time, both soldiers and commanders, ate from the same pot. I don't think that with Lord Durin's training methods, his new troops would eat from two pots."

"Is that true?" The young master from the north turned to look at the northern staff officer beside him, who nodded. "Those of us who were there last year were truly shocked by the situation. Their major general even ate from the same pot as the soldiers, simply because His Excellency Durin did the same."

The major generals gasped in unison.

"Sir Dulin, we really can't compare to him in this respect." Major General Sydney said this and looked at Major General Farol beside him: "Southerner, tell me what you think."

"No, there's no comparison. When the battle was at its most brutal, Lord Du Lin was on the front lines, bathing in blood and killing the enemy. You and I, sitting in the staff salon, really can't compare."

Although everyone was in a different camp, everyone felt that this statement was correct.

The last battle on the peninsula was because Lord Durin joined the battle at the first opportunity, which allowed him to defend the fortress that served as the support point of the battle. The subsequent battles between the coalition forces of various countries and the greenskins on the peninsula were also the result of Lord Durin's hard work for several consecutive days and nights at the beginning.

Especially his ritual of awakening the mountains. The legion-like elemental forces are still the favorite scenes of storytellers and listeners even now, a year later.

As powerful as Lord Durin is, he can endure the same hardships as the soldiers. How can you expect others to believe you when you say that his new army cannot be united?

"Well said. What else do you think?" asked the northern major general with a smile.

Rota glanced at his Highness Zaigu, who smiled and nodded. "Since His Highness has asked, you can answer boldly."

"I think... the technical and combat capabilities demonstrated by Lord Durin's new army will definitely play a decisive role in future wars." Rota clicked his tongue and wrote down on the blackboard the strengths displayed by the new army in the battle this morning.

Rota had almost finished writing, and was about to recite the points one by one when a lieutenant ran over and said, "They've started laying barbed wire and laying mines."

So, it must be Lord Du Lin’s new army that is being referred to.

The major general who was still sitting stood up with a smile. "No one would say that His Excellency Du Lin made a mistake, right? Zaigu, let's go and take a look."

Rota followed the crowd out, and at the front line, he saw soldiers laying barbed wire and mines.

Their armband is a shield standing on grass.

"By the way, who is that Major General?" someone asked.

Lotta pricked up her ears.

"Sir Locke Walter, the younger brother of the current King of the Northern Kingdom." Someone answered.

Rota raised his eyebrows and felt a little confused - shouldn't this person be in Farol? How did he return to the Northern Kingdom and become a major general?

Someone asked Rota about his doubts.
