Heroes of the Invincible Knight

In the living room of the Duke's Mansion.

Li Cha is receiving the envoy from the Royal Capital and the liaison officer of the Eastern Expedition. The liaison officer is sitting on the chair below Li Cha. He came to the Duke's mansion after any stopover, and the waiter brought him a cup of tea. The envoy thanked him and drank the tea in one gulp. He was indeed extremely thirsty, but the way the other party was drinking made Li The inspector felt a little distressed.

However, Li Cha was still very polite, and immediately ordered the waiter to add more tea for him.

"General Kutz has worked hard all the way, and he came here without saying that he would take a break."

The envoy sitting in the hall at this time is still an old acquaintance of Li Cha's. When they fought against the ogre, the two still had some friendship fighting side by side. At that time, Kurtz had the strength of a great knight, and was a close friend of Sol. He directly served as the commander of the newly formed River Valley Army at that time, and his position was still faintly above that of Richard at the beginning of the battle.

Even when Sol returned to the capital at the end, Kurz had a sense of superiority from the capital. Only a few short months passed, and the little nobleman in the Northland, who was at most a middle-class nobleman, was now a master of the kingdom, possessing the same status as the adults he followed, and even stronger in strength. There is still more than that.

The Duke of the Northland, the guardian of the two realms, the number one powerhouse in the kingdom, his illustrious military exploits, and the service of a giant dragon of unknown origin. Any of these identities can only be looked up to by Kurtz, let alone the combination of these identities. This made Kurz, who had met many big figures with Sol, appear a little cautious in front of Richard.

Kurz, who was sitting in the lower position, was even a little dazed when he heard Li Cha's words. Although he had been hearing about Li Cha's affairs in the capital and was already prepared in his heart, it was still difficult for him to see the man in front of him when he was in front of Li Cha. The duke, who was too young, overlapped with the little noble from the north.

However, Kurz quickly adjusted his position. Before setting off, Sol had already told him to show enough respect to Richard. Hearing Richard's question, Kurz immediately stood up from his position. When he got up to answer, he didn't have the slightest poise to be an envoy from the capital.

"Lord Li Cha is too polite. It's just a matter of military affairs. I have to see you as soon as possible. Please forgive me for disturbing you."

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk, we are all comrades in arms who have fought side by side together, General Kurtz doesn't have to be so restrained."

Li Cha just said that there is no need, but in fact he is quite satisfied with Kurtz's attitude. It's not that Li Cha wants to show his prestige in front of these half-old friends, but that Kurtz's attitude is more representative of The attitude of the capital.

The way Kuz is now, obviously has some kind of instruction from the decision-makers of the capital. They are very correct to put Li Cha in the position of a collaborator at the same level, instead of taking orders against Li Cha without force. attitude, this is very important.

"I don't know what General Kutz is doing in Northland this time?"

After Richard finished speaking, Kurtz did not sit back, but still stood in the hall. Richard did not continue to dwell on this small problem, but asked Kurtz directly.

Facing Li Cha's knowingly questioning, Kurz didn't make any further circles, but just looked around to see if there were any idlers on both sides.

Li Cha also waved his hand in agreement, and the waiters on both sides left the hall very actively, and soon there were only Li Cha and Kurtz left in the hall.

"Master Li Cha, the Eastern Expedition is imminent, and the preparations for the 100,000 elite soldiers of the Northern Route Army have been completed. Your Majesty and Lord Saul asked me to remind you to prepare your army for battle. After that, I will stay in your army and act as a liaison officer to coordinate with the army. coordination between them."

No wonder a great knight like Kutz is the envoy. The matter involves a top-secret matter like the Eastern Expedition. I am afraid that many big nobles in the country are still kept in the dark, and only royal cronies like Kutz are qualified. Participating in the plan at the final stage, it is indeed very suitable for him to urge Richard and serve as a liaison officer.

"General Kurtz is here to serve as the liaison officer, is he to help convey the military order?"

Li Cha asked directly. He just wanted to know if Kuz and the Kingdom had any intention of interfering with the command power. If Kuz wanted to dictate his actions, then Li Cha had to find a way to make the other party quieter. Fortunately, Both Ren and Sol in the capital are not unreasonable people, so naturally they have already considered this matter.

As soon as Richard asked a question, Kurtz immediately answered:

"The command of the Northern Route Army is in the hands of Mr. Richard. Naturally, all actions are decided by Mr. Richard. I am only responsible for passing information between the Northern Route Army and the Central Route Army. I will definitely not interfere with specific actions. Sir Richard."

Li Cha nodded, and was quite satisfied with Kurtz's answer. There should be basic contact and cooperation, but it would be absolutely impossible for Kurtz to give Richard any instructions.

"Then how to act?"

"The attack will be launched after the autumn. The specific time will wait for the Lord Saul's news after he arrives in the Northern Route Army. Now the five regiments of the Northern Route Army with 100,000 people have arrived at the reserved position. We only need to wait for Sir Richard to lead the dragon to the place." gone."

In addition to the task of serving as a liaison officer, Kurtz naturally also has the task of urging Richard to leave. Now it is almost autumn, and the time for the scheduled attack is not far away. Richard is still shrinking in the Northland, Ren and Sol Naturally, he was also a little anxious. After all, it was impossible for Li Cha to command the 100,000-strong army perfectly immediately after arriving. There was still a process of familiarizing himself with his subordinates, so he had to arrive some time in advance.

Facing the urging in Kurtz's words, Li Cha was not annoyed either, he had no intention of breaking his promise and was willing to cooperate.

"Don't worry, General Kutz will rest in Miracle City for a while. I need to arrange matters in the Northland. I will bring the dragon to the front line of Dragon's Breath Pass on time in autumn."

"In addition to the giant dragon, I will also lead some of my men to join the battle at Dragon's Breath Pass, and they will arrive before the expedition."

Although the condition negotiated with Ren was that he would only bring some elites and giant dragons to the battle, Richard still planned to bring some special troops to the battle.

Most of the heroes and high-level system troops must be brought. In addition, because the main attack direction of the Northern Route Army is mainly a forest, Li Cha also plans to bring 10,000 specially trained kobolds and Gru who are training There are thousands of half-elf rangers, they should also be able to play a greater role in the dense forest on the North Road.

"Well, then I will report Lord Richard's intentions directly to His Majesty and Sir Saul."

After Li Cha promised to arrive at Dragon's Breath Pass within a month, Kurz did not continue to urge him without interest, but under the leadership of the waiter, he found a room in the Duke's mansion and temporarily settled down...

"Go get General Grew to come."

"Forget it, I'll go there by myself."

After letting Kurz go down to settle down, the first person Li Cha thought of was Gru, and Li Cha had done his homework on the route of the North Route Army he was going to lead.

Not to mention that the road to the north is rugged, it also has to pass through the densely forested northern forest area, which is not suitable for large armies to fight. The camp is to prevent humans from attacking through the dense forest.

The guard force is not strong, but it is not easy to break through, because the large army in the northern dense forest is difficult to deploy, and the human army cannot give full play to the advantages of numbers and army combat. In small-scale conflicts, the orc army can occupy an absolute advantage most of the time.

Moreover, after leaving the dense forest, they went directly to the eastern plateau. Although the terrain is flat, the orcs seem to be invincible, but human beings must be able to defeat the orc army in the field. Not many, many times four or five legions of human beings can't beat the two legions of orcs, and the orcs can mobilize two ordinary garrison legions at will to block the human army infiltrating from the dense forest.

That is to say, only when human beings were still eating the remnants of the Aragon era more than two hundred years ago, they could organize elite forces to enter the eastern plateau occupied by orcs through the northern jungle to contain the power of orcs. Human beings on the defensive simply don't have the ability to organize forces to come out of the dense forest.

Now Ren and Saul have entrusted this task to Li Cha, obviously because Li Cha has many elites and is capable of leading the Northern Route Army to break through the orc camp in the dense forest. As long as the army appears on the plateau, Li Cha Even if the North Route Army under investigation had accomplished its basic goal, it would be a pleasant surprise as to what it could do in the future.

Soon, Li Cha appeared in the training camp designed by Gru himself, and a half-elf with 5,000 people in the banner group was undergoing training.

According to Gru's request, the training camp was built in the middle of a jungle with rows of obstacles in the middle. At a glance, Li Cha could still see half-elf soldiers lining up to pass the obstacles.

"who?"

The sudden appearance of Li Cha startled the sentinel standing next to him. The sentry subconsciously raised the weapon in his hand, and put it down again after realizing that it was Li Cha.

"Master Li Cha!"

Li Cha nodded towards the sentinel, and continued to observe the training of the half-elves.

Although this group of half-elfs didn't train for a long time, their movements are already in good shape. These 5,000 people are all carefully selected elites. Most of them were hunters in the half-elf tribe before, and their skills are already good. It's just a lack of systematic training, and some of them are even half-elven scouts drawn from various legions. They are making rapid progress, and they only need a certain amount of running-in under Gru's training.

It's just that their natural physical strength and strength are weaker than that of humans. Although they are not as exaggerated as kobolds, compared to human beings, the strength and physical strength of half-elf soldiers are generally only 70% to 80% of human soldiers.

Therefore, most of these elf soldiers are also wearing iron-inlaid leather armor, which is lighter and easier to march in the jungle, and most of the weapons in their hands are lighter weapons such as scimitars and armor-piercing daggers.

However, the advantages of half-elves are also obvious. They are all natural archers, and their archery accuracy is very good. However, due to their strength, most of them cannot open heavy bows, so they have no range advantage in plain warfare. But in this forest, half-elves The talent of the elves is useful. The two sides can often reach a distance of more than ten meters before discovering each other. At this distance, blowing arrows may be able to hit the enemy.

"Master Li Cha!"

Here, Gelu also noticed Li Cha's arrival, and rushed to him immediately.

"How are the half-elves trained?"

"It's more troublesome than expected, and the soldiers are a little unqualified."

The half-elf army that Richard seems to have trained well is unqualified in Gru's eyes.

"How to say?"

"Compared to the ranger legion I have led before, their foundation is too poor. They are generally weak in physical strength and strength. Most of them can't even use heavy scimitars. They can only use light scimitars and bayonets to fight. The performance of archery is also remarkable."

"To be honest, my lord, if these soldiers were selected according to my previous standards, I am afraid that less than 500 of them are qualified soldiers."

It cannot be said that Gru's standards are strict. After all, Gru's previous soldiers were Erasia's soldiers. Those guys' basic physical fitness is somewhat better than the creatures on this continent, and these half-elves are not even as good as ordinary humans. Existence, it is reasonable to be disgusted by Gru.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Now that Gru has brought it up, Richard believes that he has also considered a solution.

"In the forest battle, their weaknesses will be reduced, but they will still exist. My idea is to combine them with the army of the forest city to form a combat team. One team will be equipped with a phantom shooter, and the remaining two war dancers The nine of them are combined with these soldiers, so that they not only have a certain lethality, but also can deal with more enemies."

"Um"

Li Cha nodded. To put it more simply, this method is used as cannon fodder to spread the pressure on the phantom shooter and war dancer in the team and create opportunities for the phantom shooter and war dancer.

"How much time will it take to complete the training?"

"It will take at least one month to get familiar with the tactics and form combat effectiveness. If there is enough time, it will be better to train for about three months."

"It won't be that long. This batch of troops will finish training within three weeks. You can train harder and ask the logistics side to prepare more rice and meat. The troops will be dispatched in three weeks."

"Yes, Sir Richard!"

Going into the battle ahead of time, the casualties of the troops will definitely be greater, but Li Cha doesn't have that much time, so he can only let these soldiers grow up in the battle.
