Legendary Hero

In order to prevent accidents on the road later, the paladin Joseph Martin led 60,000 soldiers to march all the way in a hurry, day and night. It took only five days to return to the Mosaren Bridge after a journey of more than ten days.

As soon as he arrived at the bridge on the south bank of the Heishui River, he saw a group of elite light cavalry galloping out of the bridge. Every knight on horseback had an extremely serious expression on their faces.

These knights rushed into the army, without any explanation, they arrested more than a dozen officers from the army. They were the elite backbone members of the Principality who followed Zakro to the south that day.

There were a total of thirteen of these people, all of whom were high-ranking military officers. None of them were caught wrong. After they were caught, they were dragged to the deck of the Mossalen Bridge by the knights, and their heads were forcibly pushed down on the guardrail on one side of the bridge deck. .

Then Joseph Martin saw a group of powerful guards wearing newly made silver battle armor, surrounded by the Crusader Marshal and came out. When they reached the bridge, these guards spread out and stood on both sides, wearing snow bear fur cloaks and long waistbands. The marshal of the sword walked forward, his face covered with frost.

The scouts had already sent back the news, and when he heard that Zacro disobeyed Joseph's order and brought the elite south to intercept the undead army, causing the elite to almost lose all, Luo Lin was so angry that he slapped the desk in the study broken pieces.

He misjudged the person, the second disciple of the Red Moon Sword Master turned out to be such a fool.

The officers holding the knives were already in place beside the officers in custody. Luo Lin didn't give these officers any chance to defend himself, nor did he hesitate for a moment. He waved his hand, and thirteen long knives swung down. Blood sprayed from his neck and into the mouth. Heishui River.

In his army, anyone who disobeyed military orders, no matter what the reason, would be beheaded!

The blood like a fountain, the bloody smell all over the sky, and the headless corpse still twitching, immediately shocked all the soldiers who saw this scene.

Even the corners of Paladin Joseph Martin's eyes twitched subconsciously. He didn't expect that Luo Lin, who is usually gentle in speech and actions, would be so decisive.

Back from the rapid march in the south, the exhausted soldiers were silent, only the cold wind on the Heishui River was still blowing.

Luo Lin looked around the audience and said, "Do you know why I executed them?"

His voice was not high, but it was very penetrating, and it spread throughout the army.

No one answered, and the soldiers were shocked by the initial means given by their marshal, including those elites.

Luo Lin's eyes were cold, he raised his voice slightly, and asked again: "Do you know why?"

Still no one answered, every soldier felt tremendous psychological pressure. Their marshal is an invincible warrior. A demon as terrifying as the bloody maniac was killed by him with a few swords. Who would dare to answer under the tremendous pressure?

Grevin, Yopni, Langergo, Swain, and Durns, the five generals in command, all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Especially the latter four, they followed Luo Lin all the way, knew his temper, and guessed in their hearts that they would all be punished this time. To be wrong is to be wrong together.

Joseph Martin also bowed his head. As the commander-in-chief, he has nothing to do with what happened. Luo Lin's actions were almost like hitting him in the face, but he knew he had to bear it.

It is his honor as a paladin to have the courage to bear his mistakes!

On this side, it seems that the situation is almost the same, Luo Lin slowed down his tone a little, and said in a deep voice: "It is because of the first military order of the Silver Crusade: Absolutely obey the commander's command! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

Luo Lin didn't say anything long, because talking too much would be powerless. Under tremendous psychological pressure, speaking the most important sentence will give people an extremely deep impression.

In the previous life on the earth, this method was called initiation seal, to put it bluntly. In the future, when these soldiers wanted to contradict the commander, today's scene would pop up in their minds at the same time, and he would carefully consider whether it was worth it.

After finishing speaking, Luo Lin said to the herald beside him: "Let the commanders go to the meeting hall of the fortress. All other soldiers go to the camp and have a good rest."

These generals would of course have to be punished, but Luo Lin would not do this in front of ordinary soldiers.

Of course there are reasons for doing this, mainly to maintain the dignity and authority of the generals, especially authority!

Authority arises largely from a sense of mystery.

Because ordinary soldiers don't understand the life of the generals, but when they see the powerful strength and martial arts of these generals, they will naturally have a deified association and awe.

If Luo Lin stripped the general's trousers and spanked his ass in front of all the soldiers, the general would lose face, and he would never even think about commanding troops to fight in the future, even if there was a military order, no one would obey him.

Back at the fortress, Luo Lin sat quietly at the long table and waited.

After a while, six generals including Joseph Martin and Yopni came over one after another.

Luo Lin waved to the attendants in the hall: "You all go out!"

All the attendants left, leaving only Luo Lin and the others in the hall.

Without outsiders, Paladin Joseph's psychological pressure was much less. He stood up and said, "Marshal..."

Luo Lin waved his hand and said: "Needless to say, you have told me the specific situation in your letter. You are too soft-hearted and not suitable to be the coach. This is my mistake. Things have reached the point where each of us has wrong."

After a pause, Luo Lin announced the punishment: "I am the coach, and I have misused personnel. I will be punished with three years of military pay. Joseph, you will be fined for five years. The five of you will be fined for one year each."

"..." Joseph was speechless, it was almost like tickling: "Marshal, I..."

Yopni and the others were also a little surprised. He thought he was going to face the thunderous wrath of the Marshal.

Luo Lin sighed and asked, "What else can I do?"

These are just for the soldiers to see. At their level, who in this army can take their place with such force and prestige? This time the matter is not all good, at least all the differences in the army have been dispelled.

Ordinary officers, of course, Luo Lin said to kill them, because killing a few would not affect the army's combat power too much, but a paladin like Joseph, a noble lord like Grevin, how could he just kill them casually? kill.

Because such great knights and masters are simply irreplaceable. If they are killed, the morale of the entire army will be greatly affected, and the combat power will be greatly reduced. Then who will fight?

Although the military order is like a mountain, different people still have to be treated differently, Luo Lin is very clear about this.

This time, even if Zakro waited for the other noble generals to come back alive, he would only kill one of Zakro at most, and the other four would lose their ranks.

It is estimated that this is also the reason why Zakro led his troops southward without fear. He just held the idea of ​​​​holding his own self-respect.

Luo Lin turned to the last noble general, Grevin: "There are still 6,000 elites left in the principality. These people are rare warriors. They also killed more than 10,000 undead and 3,000 demons this time, and they also deserve credit. Go and give everyone A warrior will be rewarded according to his merits, according to the rewards we have set in advance."

"Yes, Marshal." Grevin nodded.

"Six thousand people are no longer a complete organization. Let's break them up and organize them into other legions." Luo Lin continued.

"Yes." Grevin could only nod his head, he knew that from now on, Lieutenant General of the Silver Crusade would no longer have the term elite of the principality.

"Okay, let's stop here, but we must remember the lesson of this time. The Silver Crusaders can't bear such a loss a second time!" Luo Lin looked serious.

The losers this time are all elites. To be honest, when Luo Lin first heard the news, he almost felt powerless in his heart, but he has a tenacious character, so he was not defeated at all.

If you lose, you can’t make up for it, so let’s start all over again!

Everyone also felt that the matter was serious and nodded heavily.

Luo Lin continued: "This time we have lost all our elites, and the Dark Legion should get news soon. I think that after the decisive battle on Keel Hill, if the Dark Legion still has power, they will definitely rush towards us. We must be prepared .”

In a battle of the scale of Keel Hills, the role of conspiracy tactics is already very limited, and it is an upright decisive battle.

Even if one side loses, it is unlikely that they will be wiped out at once. There are nearly a million people, and each person occupies one square meter. If they are spread out, they can cover the ground with a radius of more than 30 kilometers. At most At most, the losing party will be scattered and repelled, and then the winning party will continue to pursue and carry out battles of annihilation.

This will last for a short time.

In this decisive battle, if the Kingdom of Aoraki wins by chance, they probably have almost no energy left to pursue the Dark Legion, so Rollin has to prepare to fight against the rest of the Dark Legion.

If the west can't move, of course they will come to the east to eat.

If the Aola family kingdom is defeated, the undead are used to support wars, and the more people are beaten, the more people are beaten. It goes without saying that Luo Lin will immediately organize the largest fleet in history and take people to the Moonlight Continent to flee. As for food, equipment, etc., take it away if you can, and destroy it if you can't.

Start all over again on the opposite continent!

Therefore, the way to go in the future depends on the result of the decisive battle in Keel Hills. As for giving up, Luo Lin never thought about it.
