Terra Martial God and Merit System

He sat in the room thinking all night but still couldn't figure it out - how did Hamblin use this rubbish army to fight back and forth with the Terra Alliance on the opposite side?

This is totally impossible! Could it be that Hamblin is really a rare talent as rumored?

Although I was confused, the problem was that no one could answer me.

Because Hamblin's troops were fighting on the front line, their casualty rate was very high, and now they were suddenly attacked and basically wiped out.

Franz stopped thinking about the problem and began to think about how to deal with the emperor.

He can't just say that he can't handle it under the current circumstances.

Although this is the truth, the emperor will definitely be furious - if Hamblin can do it, why can't you, a veteran, do it? You must be a spy for the Terra Union!

But if they didn't attack, not to mention that the Terra Union might attack first, the Emperor would also become suspicious - why didn't you attack? Are you a spy of the Terra Union?

Having survived the political struggle in Castle Sainte-Germain, Franz knew that the current emperor had some mental problems.

He originally wanted to use the "Terra United Spy" to eliminate dissidents.

But after talking too much, I gradually became suspicious and everyone seemed to be a spy.

Serving the king is like serving a tiger... Franz knows this very well.

What can I do to keep my family alive?

"Now..." As a centenarian, he thought about this matter and felt a headache the more he thought about it, and the more difficult it became to understand.

“No matter what, we have to attack, even if it’s just for show,” Franz made up his mind.

If you want to die, you must not send your own private soldiers to die. The one who dies must be someone else.

He searched the front line and finally found a rising team. Not only was their combat effectiveness online, but they also gathered a lot of confused troops on the front line.

"You are the one," Franz thought to himself, and he called the messenger. "Let them make a tentative attack, and support them with all the artillery."

After giving the order, Franz began to wait anxiously for the result.

Although a general may not obey orders from the emperor when he is away from home, his family is in the hands of the emperor. He must show his outstanding success.

This test will allow him to truly understand the military level of the Terra Union, and it will also be convenient for planning future events.

"Ding ding——" battle reports came one after another.

Franz looked at the words in front of him in disbelief.

Good news! All good news.

Like a hot knife cutting through butter, wherever it went, the Terra Union's defenses were all withdrawn to temporarily avoid the attack.

It exploded! This time it really exploded!

The battle report finally stopped, and the team steadied its pace and asked Franz for the next instructions.

"There's a problem!" Franz pressed the battle report.

Although his family would be able to relax a little if he sent it back to Saint Stein Castle, Franz was still full of doubts.

The war has become a little abnormal...

“Let this team withdraw immediately.” Franz said in a deep voice, “I want to inspect them personally!”

.........

Franz walked into the barracks and saw that everything was in order. The soldiers in front of him were in neat formation and full of vigor.

This is not an ordinary army...

In his impression, only the private soldiers of the great nobles could reach this level.

But according to Franz's understanding, this team was clearly a group of ragtag troops, and even their salaries were in arrears for several months. How could they...

"General, please come here." Franz turned to look at the commander of the army. "I want the details of the battle."

"General, I have already sent it."

"That's not specific."

"really?"

Franz felt a headache when he saw the other person pretending to be stupid.

Soldiers are upright and honest. If they are right, they are right. If they are wrong, they are wrong. How can this person be so smooth? How can such a smooth person lead such an army?

Something is wrong, very wrong!

The two continued talking for a while, but the other party was completely distracted and seemed not to understand what Franz was saying.

Franz was annoyed, and as he was old and weak, he had to say goodbye.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the other party came over and shook his hand. "The general is working so hard for the country, it is really touching."

After that, he saluted and said, "We must learn from the general."

Franz looked at him and clenched his hands.

When shaking hands, the other party stuffed something into my hand.

According to the current situation...it must not be some kind of banknotes. What else could it be?

Franz had a blank expression on his face. He went through the process and returned to the barracks before taking it out.

It was a very small piece of paper. When Franz opened it, his expression immediately turned into a thoughtful one.

Chapter 312 Hero Team

Franz stuffed the note into the stove.

There was no expression on his face and his eyes were empty.

Think...Think Again...

My current situation...

It is very difficult to advance or retreat.

If it really can save my family as the note says... then I might as well give it a try.

But can the Terra Union be trusted?

One is a capricious monarch, the other is a newly rising rebel...this...is really hard to choose.

Hedging your bets?

Franz gave up the idea.

He is too old to take any chances.

“Let’s give it a try…” Franz made up his mind, “All troops, listen up! Prepare your equipment and get ready for the attack!”

......

Just as the note said, the Terra Union launched a large-scale attack the next day.

Franz ordered his artillery to bombard in turns.

He only used one-third of his artillery, and fired all of them in front of the position as the note instructed.

This was a big gamble, because if the artillery position was exposed, the Terra Union would most likely counterattack, or even strike back and completely destroy their artillery.

The shelling on the Ursus side ended, and the bombing on the Terra Union side also began.

But the location where they bombed was very strange...

"Have you determined where the shells will land?" Franz looked at his men.

"Yes... they are hitting our flank. But there is no one there... I doubt they will adjust their shooting parameters soon..."

"You don't need to tell me." Franz said coldly, "Let the artillery troops move immediately."

"Yes!"

The men left and Franz bowed his head.

The other party is serious...Do you want to take over?

"Come on!" Franz shouted, "Send the Sixth Regiment up to test the attack!"

The Sixth Regiment was the rubbish among his rubbish.

It is an army composed of a large number of prisoners, purely used to fill the line.

The messenger's mind was full of questions, but military orders were as firm as a mountain, so he nodded and left.

The commander of the Sixth Regiment turned pale after receiving the task.

Let them attack? Isn't that just asking for death?

He wanted to refuse, but when he saw that the messenger was not alone, and there were Franz's men following him, he swallowed his words.

"We're leaving now," he said.

When the soldiers of the Sixth Regiment heard their next orders, they all cursed, but there was nothing they could do and they were finally driven to the front line.

"Just act casually..." The head of the Sixth Regiment ordered his confidant. "The soldiers haven't received their salaries for three months. Whoever wants to die can do so."

......

Half an hour later, he stood at the Terra Union's position, sweating profusely.

"Captain! We won!" someone shouted in his ear.

"Yes...we won..." He blinked, "Quick, tell Lord Franz. We won! We defeated the rebels!"

He came back to his senses and rubbed his head, looking somewhat confident.

But this state did not last long.

"Bang, bang, bang!" A series of gunshots made him shudder all over.

"The rebels are attacking!" someone screamed and cried.

"Retreat!" The captain had no thought of resistance in his mind at all, and he spoke immediately.

Everyone did not dare to hesitate, and immediately scattered like birds and beasts, turning around and running back to their own positions.

.......

"Our army fought bravely, but was ultimately defeated and had to retreat while fighting..."

Franz looked at the battle report in his hand, snorted coldly, and looked up at the dusty commander of the Sixth Regiment in front of him.

"Tell me how many people you lost?"

"Uh... I lost a dozen brothers..."

"Killed in battle?"

"No, I can't find it."

"...." Franz said nothing. He waved his hand and said, "You go back first."

The head of the Sixth Regiment was dumbfounded. “What?”

"Get out!" Franz shouted.

"Yes, yes, I'll get out of here now!" The leader of the Sixth Regiment was not angry, but cheered instead.

He was originally worried that he would be punished by military law if he escaped, but he didn't expect that as it turned out, he would not have to bear any responsibility.

What's a good thing?

It’s so cool!

Franz called his men and immediately began to write a battle report.

He wanted to write this playful battle as a brutal battlefield, and then write a small victory as a big victory...

"Terra United....please don't let me down." He muttered in a low voice.

In the following time, Franz began to command the battle with high intensity.

The Terra Union's defense line on the opposite side was riddled with holes. No matter how solid the fortress had been deduced before, their army would flee as soon as they arrived.

The two sides fought back and forth, and although the battle line did not change much, more than ten reports of victory had been delivered.
