Chapter 1077
"This is over, we have to get out?"
In the ruins of Duanjieshan, Byrne Knights orderly packed their luggage and hiccups After finishing the last drop of wine in the glass, he hid the cooked ham in the saddle's rucksack, and turned over to his horse contentedly.
The Byrne Knights, who took a hot shower, changed their new shirts and slept beautifully and ate, expressed their satisfaction-except for the count Lanmaros in Lake City.
"There is no welcoming team, no carnival dinner, no changed clothes, no girl hiding in the bed-just because of an order from the royal prince, we have to get out?" Lan Ma dissatisfied Ross muttered:
"Holy Cross, we just won the monster invasion and saved the empire! This can be considered a courtesy to the hero who saves the world?"
"Yes."
The White Horse Peak count on the side Rigrel glared at him: "This is a courtesy to a loyal obedience to the command Knight-the one who won the Battle of the Skeleton Valley is not You, not me, are Lord Loren Torino."
"Without our Lord Duke, none of these 10,000 people can come back alive!"
"You are not allowed Li Yu, if it were not for the Lord Duke, we would never go to the place of death."
"The unreasonable person is you, you wooden head!" Regrel's expression was very tangled-on the battlefield. At the time, this guy kept calling out to obey the Duke; but when he left the battlefield, everything turned the other way around.
Is it true that every cavalry commander speaks like this, except for himself?
"In short, think about those brothers who failed to come back alive from the battlefield, think about them, what else are you not satisfied with?"
…Lanmalos shrugged: “No…I’m just complaining for the Duke, and then more for ourselves-we won the Battle of the Blood Skeleton Valley and ended a monster invasion, but what do we get? Is it?"
"Prestige, respect... and your little life!" Regrel said coldly and coldly: "This is the dignity of Byrne's reunification since the tenth generation. Battle, what else do you want?"
"Of course, when we get to Imperial Capital Golovin, you might really get what you want-those lose one's head out of fear Noble lords and ladies, in order to be protected by a count holding the military power in his hand, I am afraid that I can marry my daughter to you without the gift money."
"Oh, that sounds pretty good. …Wait?!"
Before he had time to be happy, Lanmaros suddenly changed his expression: "What are you talking about, Imperial Capital Golovin? We are going to Imperial Capital? We are not all Have you said you want to go home?! I thought the battle was over!"
Rigrel put down his work silently, and slowly looked back towards him with a foolish expression. , Looked unbelievable:
"Tell me, are we both participating in the same military meeting?"
"Yes!"
" The Duke personally presided over the task assigned by count Eckert in the Castle of Fury?"
"Yes!" Lan Malos looked inexplicably: "Did you sleep confused? I was right next to you. !"
"Then why do you seem to ask me such things as if you don’t know anything — I also want to ask why the guy who was next to me yelling to make'men rabbits look good', how? Suddenly amnesia?!"
"What's the matter?!"
…………………………
In front of the long table , Everyone's eyes turned to the black hair wizard and the female count of Scarlet Blood Castle who moved towards Brandon in the same direction.
"As for Guan Byrne's deployment arrangements..." Edward hesitated for a moment, and then slowly opened the mouth and said: "My suggestion is...please, Duke Byrne, return to Scarlet Blood Castle to rest for the time being."
Huh?
Everyone at the scene was taken aback, and even Charlotte couldn't help showing a surprised look.
As usual, shouldn’t we mobilize as much power as possible at this time-especially now that Connold is dying, and Brandon is really willing to treat him before he is justified and crowned? Apart from the Eastern Sacklanders who expressed loyalty, only the Knights of the Thirteenth leaders of Byrne were the only ones who showed their loyalty.
"Before you speak, please allow me to explain in advance." Stopping Charlotte who wanted to ask questions, Edward continued to say solemnly: "I didn't mean to ask Byrne to start the battle. Even if I want to evacuate, it is already impossible."
"Simply put, based on three reasons." Edward raised three fingers: "First of all, morale."
p>
"The Byrne Knight Legion who has just experienced the Battle of the Blood Skeleton Valley has already suffered more than half of the casualties. If you continue to fight, not only will there be a risk of morale collapse, but they also urgently need to rest and recover their battle strength."
"But in the next battle, there is no such condition; therefore, it is the best option to withdraw them to the Scarlet Blood Castle."
"Secondly, it is due to the distribution of battle strength. Consider-80,000 Byrne Legion has been stationed in Imperial Capital. From the strategic deployment, the strategic goal that the Empire needs Byrne to complete has been achieved. There is no need for Byrne Duchy to perform more obligations;
"Now that the time for the final battle is not reached, Byrne Duchy's war potential should not be squeezed too much. "
"The third is logistics; the imperial capital is besieged, which means that Legion outside the Imperial Capital will no longer be able to get supplies from Golovin, and the besieged elven army is bound to cut off Sisak. The supply line of the Lan generation. "Edward said sternly:
"Next, Byrne needs to undertake more logistical tasks-barley, wheat, cured meat, alcohol, iron ingots...unless Byrne can provide one third to half of the War materials, otherwise we would not be able to maintain such a huge army. "
The voice fell, and all the people with wrong expressions were shocked, and they showed some fearful expressions.
Logistics...Yes, this is the most terrible thing.
Once the various Legions are assembled in Western Sacrament, the total force will exceed 200,000-even if most of them can be supplied from Eastern Sacrament and the army’s heavy squadrons, but this In front of 200,000 people, that is far from enough!
Among the duchy, only Byrne can provide such a large amount of materials and organize a huge transportation team to deliver these materials to the needs. Their place; otherwise, without the enemy’s attack, these 200,000 people can starve themselves to death.
"Furthermore, I learned from the soldiers who participated in the Battle of the Blood Skeleton Valley, Although the Duke of Byrne defeated Xiong Yingwang, he was also injured-nothing else, but my suggestion is that you'd better return to the Scarlet Blood Castle to recover for a while, and wait until..."
" Many thanks I care, but you worry too much. "
Loren, who remained silent all the time, suddenly interrupted him: "I have suffered some skin injuries, but I'm not so good that I can't get a sword." "
"even more how …Imperial Capital Golovin also has 80,000 byers. I am their duke, so I can’t just leave them alone. "
Edward’s expression shrank slightly: "Did you mean..."
"Keep guarding the Imperial Capital Golovin, don’t let the Azores take a half-step-hand in give it to me. "The black hair wizard opened the mouth and said faintly, and couldn't help but chuckled slightly:
"Furthermore...someone has to tell the adults in the sky palace what happened in the north. "
The Machete Grand Duke’s face showed a smirk that he knew, and the face of Dresis on the side was ugly to the extreme.
The indifferent Edward stared at Loren with a look on his face.
thoughtful.
Guarding Imperial Capital …seems like a choice that will gain a high reputation, but it is actually a hot potato; guarding the city means not only facing the Azorean elves outside , And also to deal with the sky palace in the city and the imperial nobles.
Even in the era of the Black Duke, the imperial nobles did not have a good impression of the Byrners, let alone now.
What's more, there is the Imperial Cabinet in the Sky Vault, the Holy Cross Church, and the second heir to the empire, Princess Zhang and Her Royal Highness Fitronay de Salion...how to deal with the relationship with them, I’m afraid it’s better than defending. Imperial Capital is not going to fall and it will be more difficult.
So the night watchman is really curious. What made Loren come forward voluntarily and take this absolutely unfavorable option for him?
>
Is it...is it really just because of the 80,000 Byrne Legion stationed in Imperial Capital?
"Of course, the Duke is willing to take on this burden. Of course it is the best. "After a pause, Edward did not continue to delve into it:
"But...as we said before, the most critical task for Byrne at the moment is to ensure the supply line in the rear; if there is no Duke himself Sitting down, such a huge number might be..."
"Please don't worry about this. Byrne will resolutely fulfill his promise. "
Before Loren could speak, Charlotte on the side took the initiative to take a step forward and raised her head slightly: "During the Duke's absence, I will stay at the Red Blood Castle Round Table Council and be responsible for all logistical issues. In the name of the Torino family, I assure you that the Thirteenth Captain Byrne will do everything possible to provide logistical assistance to the imperial army. "
Under the generous statement, there was a moment of silence at the long table.
People with different expressions cast their eyes and kept going back and forth between Charlotte and Loren. I look at it—Salika’s expression is particularly wonderful, her shiny eyes seem to see the Holy Cross descending.
"Of course, I, I mean in the name of the Duke and the Round Table Council, and Not me! "The cramped Charlotte's expression was a little annoyed:
"During the Duke’s expedition, the count left behind to form a round table council to select regents. This is a long tradition that has existed since the time of the King of Knight in the ancient kingdom. Very deep..."
"Understood, then so be it. "
Ignoring Charlotte’s murderous gaze, the night watchman Edward interrupted: "Everyone, this time the Imperial Capital Battle of Golovin, we only have three months from the west. According to the information received, Lotaire's grain storage was almost exhausted, and if he did not receive any assistance within three months, he would inevitably fall. "
"Three months...We have to defend the Imperial Capital, defeat the invading army of the Azores, and open up the line of communication to Lothar! "
"The future of the empire, counting millions even tens of millions, the life and death of mankind... is on everyone's shoulders! "
…………………………
"So...the next thing we have to do is to guard the Imperial Capital. "
Before Floating Void City, Dalton Kander, with his hands on his back, supervised the craftsmen and alchemists to repair the Floating Void City, while slightly nodded:
"No problem, detailed plan You can wait for another arrangement after arriving in Golovin-in addition, on the way to Golovin, I will collect as much information as possible about Imperial Capital Golovin, which may be of reference value for you. "
"You don't seem surprised at all, mentor. "Loren's expression was quite unexpected: "I thought you would at least ask me why?" "
Dalton just shook his head.
"The conversation between the tutor and the apprentice asks why, you are a Duke, and the decision you make will not and should not be questioned. . "
"But...I still have some suggestions. "
"Please speak. "
"This time the Imperial Capital trip, don't let Ayin and Isaac collaborate-if you have any plans, just assume that I haven't said this sentence. "Dalton said solemnly:
"In the battle of Golovin, what you need is sufficient intelligence and talents who can coordinate the relationship between all parties. They will only become a burden to you. Unite the Chief- of Chamber of Commerce. In-Charge Jr. Yodd, and Byrne bishop Weber are more suitable. "
"Furthermore, Fort Storm count Glenwell, I found that he is very competent in the role of'Secretary of Foreign Affairs', let him coordinate with the armies of Allerman and Arles—— In addition, Isaac told me that the new weapons you entrusted him to complete have made some new progress. Let him go back to complete his work and he should be more helpful to you. "
New weapons...Loren’s mind immediately popped up with something that almost took his own life in Eboden.
So far, against "Jiao lightsaber" "The research and development is still at a relatively primary level-miniaturization has been completed, but the failure rate and cost are still high, and it is still not a weapon that can be put into actual combat.
So far, Loren has never really planned to put this thing on the battlefield. Even if he trained a group of wizard apprentices who specialize in the use of this weapon, it was just a part of the research and development process. He even felt that he might not see it in his lifetime. Mass-produced finished product.
But listening to Dalton’s instructor’s tone, it seems that there has been any new development in this thing recently?
black hair wizard nodded, his eyes turned to the person beside him The ruins and the military camp behind.
The ice and snow piled on it gradually solidified and melted, and the dripping ice water turned into pools after pools, making the originally tidy camp muddy and muddy. Soldiers Except for the snow, there is no color mud on his boots.
The lead gray clouds scattered in the majesty of the scorching sun, revealing the blue sky—that was in the severe winter. The scenery that is absolutely invisible in Duanjieshan, the entire world seems to have been washed, and it looks clear and clear like never before.
And in this muddy pond under the clear sky, a delicate plant The young shoots pierce the soil and grow up on the side of Loren's boots, conveying an important message of the material world.
The severe winter is already yesterday.
Spring has returned. .
