Legendary Hero

The Silver Crusade has been going south for nearly half a month.

Their speed is not fast, about 100 kilometers a day, and they have enough time to rest every day. In addition, the supply of food and grass at the rear of the army is very sufficient, and the soldiers have no worries about eating and drinking, so the soldiers basically did not consume physical energy all the way down.

Of course there are gains. For the recruits, daily marching, camping, scout inspections, etc. are all excellent exercises. Although the veterans look down on the recruits, they call it fresh fish, but when the two sides get together, they will also teach some things. Valuable battlefield experience. From time to time, they will also encounter some low-level undead, fight a few, let the recruits experience the fighting atmosphere.

All these make the recruits quickly familiar with the real military career.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon that day, the army arrived at the border of Quentin County. Because it was getting late, the army began to camp by Pearl Lake.

Quentin County is already very south, it was 500 kilometers northwest of Bishui City, and the city of Fire Lion, the capital of the Principality of Lehman, is less than 400 kilometers west of Quentin County. And from the Pearl Lake in Quentin County all the way to a 60-degree south-west direction and then 800 kilometers, it is the occupied Davik Fortress!

It can be said that it has gone deep into the southern border, and counting the time, the Dark Legion should also react.

Joseph Martin became more serious, and the scouts were sent out early in the morning. The number was twice as many as before. The inspection distance was also longer, just to prevent possible sneak attacks.

When the whole army was resting, he and several generals were in the commander’s camp facing the military map to discuss the layout of the march.

Nearly 90,000 soldiers were dispatched this time, which was already the majority of the troops on the Mosalun Bridge, so there were a lot of generals dispatched. There were ten generals at the commanding level in the camp, including Zakro and Grevin. , Yopni, Langor, etc.

These commanders are roughly divided into two factions. One faction is the generals of the elite team of Lehman Principality who originally supported Clearwater City and Lakeside Fortress. They were originally generals of the Principality. Although they joined the Silver Crusade, there are always some small knots in their hearts. Unknowingly, they hug each other. This faction is headed by Zachro, and this Grevin is also a great knight, originally Zachro's most trusted deputy.

Six of the ten commander-level generals are from this background. These generals are all aristocrats and have received strict and formal military training. Their personal strength is relatively strong and their reputation is high, so they occupy the main position. They secretly called themselves a noble party.

The other faction is Rolin’s cronies. Yopney, Langor, etc. are all warriors who have experienced the **** battle of Vendôme. Among them, Yopney is good at tactics and strategy, while Langergo is a martial arts genius. Today, Lang Ergo is already a 33-level tough fighter, and his strength is two levels higher than other warriors on average, and there is always an eye-catching performance in actual combat. The gap is very obvious.

There are four generals in this faction, with the exception of Yopni and Lango. The other two, one named Sven and the other named Deans, are also very outstanding young people.

Because Luo Lin hated party formation in the army, these four generals did not gather together obviously, but they were of very low origin. Because they were young, they were weaker than the noble generals of the principality, and they were all Luo Lin’s. Diehard. No matter what they think of themselves, in the eyes of the Noble Party. They belonged to a group, and they also gave these four a contemptuous nickname "Peasant Army".

The differences between the generals are also affecting the soldiers, and the soldiers are now secretly divided into three groups.

One group was the elite of the original duchy, and the other was born on Fix Island. There is also a group of recruits. I am ignorant of the disputes in the military, which belonged to the wall and grass on both sides, but as time passed, this group of recruits continued to divide and join their respective corps.

Of course, the differences between these two factions have just emerged. It's not serious. We all have a common goal to fight against the Dark Legion, so we just can't understand each other a little bit.

As for Joseph Martin, this paladin is absolutely neutral, powerful and highly prestigious. He is second only to Luo Lin in the Argent Crusade. Everyone agrees that this is important for him to be the marshal of the Southern Expedition. the reason.

Joseph Martin is very clear about the disagreements in the army. Some small conflicts often erupt along the way. Soldiers fight, generals ridicule and ridicule, they are all trivial things, and he has always played a role in the mud.

Command the camp.

Joseph Martin lit the military map, looked around the generals, and said: "Along the way, we have basically never met a decent opponent, but there is a clear trend. The more we go south, the stronger the undead we encounter. , The denser, the shadow of the devil even appeared yesterday. I think, our southern expedition is almost here."

If you go further, you will get too deep, and I am afraid that you will not be able to get out.

Zachro shook his head: "I think we can go further south. There is still 800 kilometers away from Davik fortress. If we withdraw now, it will not cause substantial pressure on the demon's military supply line. I am afraid There is not enough time."

Zachro was the head of the noble party. He was taught by the Red Moon Sword Saint, and he was also a quasi-sage. He was also born in a family of marquis in the duchy, and everyone served him.

But this time, his deputy, Grand Knight Grevin, did not agree with Zacro's statement. He pointed to the map and said: "We are very close to Clearwater City, and Baiyun City is not far to the east of Clearwater City. Last time we Withdrawing north, the undead army in the lakeside fortress did not repel. Intelligence shows that although some of the undead in Baiyun City went to the Dragonbone Hills, there are at least 10,000 high-level undead and even demons in the city. If we go further south If there is, once the dark army intercepts on the road, and another army in Baiyun City cuts our retreat, the situation will become very dangerous! Therefore, I agree with Lord Paladin that we should retreat."

Zachro frowned and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. An aristocratic general next to him understood what he meant and said, "I don't think so. There are not many troops in Baiyun City, and our scouts They have explored Baili Road, and they cannot sneak attack. More importantly, the goal of our trip is to delay the decisive battle in Dragonbone Hills. We retreat now, and the opponent will know it is an illusion at a glance. We must at least fight our opponent Xiaoxiao. Fighting is good."

"Our soldiers also need a real war training, not the previous small fights." Another noble general said.

Sven, who was born in Fix Island, shook his head: "I'm afraid not. We don't have the ability to fight the Dark Legion now. The training time for soldiers is too short and the equipment is not very complete."

Deans also said: "Before leaving, the marshal had instructed to save power, unless necessary, do not easily confront the Dark Legion!"

"We need to fight now!" An aristocratic general said coldly, looking at Deans with disdain in his eyes.

"The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and the marshal's orders are not in line with the situation. With the leader out, we must adapt to the situation!"

Having said that, there is already a faint smell of gunpowder.

Joseph Martin knew he had to speak: "Okay! The marshal's order comes first. This is our strategic purpose, and there is no reason to refute it! Iopney, tell me your opinion."

Yoppney has been silent. At this time, he was named. He nodded to all the generals present, and then said: "The marshal meant to let us protect ourselves, but the decisive battle in the Dragonbone Hills is also very important. We must drag enough. Time. I think we don’t have to go south, just stay on the Pearl Lake for a period of time. We can either retreat or advance, or send a small team to explore and create the illusion that we are going south. This is enough to put a lot of pressure on our opponents."

When he said this, Joseph Martin nodded: "I agree with General Yopney's suggestion. We will camp here, stay for a month, and then withdraw!"

Joseph Martin is the commander-in-chief. He was only discussing his opinions before, but now he has clearly set a strategy. Then other people will be suspected of disobeying the military order if they refute, so the generals nodded in agreement.

The meeting disbanded, and the generals went to prepare.

Once out of the camp, the generals clearly showed their factions, a group of noble generals, and a group of "peasant army" from Fix Island.

Going a little further, an aristocratic general said to Grevin, "Gley, we have long discussed going south. We have to let the peasant army know our strength. Why did you shrink your head instead?"

Zachro didn't say anything, but he was listening. Seriously, he was also a little dissatisfied. The blatant refutation of his opinion by his very dependent deputy made him feel dull.

Grevin glanced at the other party and said with a slight disdain: "I never agreed to go south, so how come we have discussed it?"

He turned his head and looked at Zachro: "Lando, your idea is extreme. We don't have to show our strength. Our goal is to fight the Dark Legion and defeat them! Nothing else, at least not now." (Lando , The surname of the Zachro family, also the official name)

Zachro's face was darkened: "You don't need to teach me. I know what to do!"

He took the generals and turned around~www.readwn.com~Lando, the principality has passed, you" Grewin said again.

Zachro stiffened, and whispered back: "But the Grand Duke is still there, so are his sons and daughters!"

He is loyal to the Duke, always, because he has made a sacred oath, and the Duke treats him well.

Now because of the Silver Crusade, I temporarily serve Earl Maple Leaf, but this will not last long. He has to consider what happens after defeating the Dark Legion. He knew that doing so might affect the overall situation, but some things had to be prepared in advance, and he wanted to use this expedition to gain more prestige in the army.

After speaking, he turned and left.

Grevin watched Zachro and the noble generals leave. He waited until the other party disappeared. He shook his head and sighed: "Lando, you are so confused!"

The dispute between light and darkness is on the line of life and death, so how can such a dispute be tolerated. (To be continued.) xh118
