Lord of War

The march of 15,000 infantry was extremely powerful.

Although Thain has repeatedly emphasized that these people should pretend to be more loose and decadent, in his eyes, he can still see many characteristics that only elite veterans have. This made Thain's heart even more gloomy, because he knew very well that he was set by Hela: Although he was the commander of this army in name, in fact the commander of the Fourth Army of the Darbion Kingdom The soldiers didn't really obey his orders at all.

If even he can see the specialness of this army, it is naturally impossible for people like William and Sean not to see it.

Originally, he wanted to catch Sean by surprise, but now that he is in this state, let alone catch Sean by surprise, I am afraid that even he himself will be dragged into the water. In order to kill Sean, he can do whatever he wants, but if it is completely hopeless, then such a result is not what he wants.

Thinking of this, Thain has made a decision in his heart.

This army set off from Michelin City in Dayland, and did not pass through Yederbiland, so it only took half a month to reach the core of Pandaland, which is the economic, political, and cultural center under Sean's command. City, but it is obviously not as satisfactory in terms of food and supplies. For the soldiers of the 4th Legion of Dabion who have always received the highest level of treatment in the Kingdom of Dabion, this is naturally a miserable process.

About half a month later, when this army officially arrived at the outskirts of the Void City, judging from its distressed appearance, not many people would believe that this army was the fourth army of the elite army of the Darbion Kingdom. But for people like Thain and William who are really good at military operations, it is not difficult to discover the essence of this army hidden under the embarrassing appearance. After all, you must know that the 15,000 people have no logistics. The army is taking care of it, so it's hard not to be embarrassed after more than half a month of travel.

In the outskirts of the Void City, several camps have been established here, judging from the scale, they are all above 5,000 people. Two of them even have a scale of 10,000 people. If we talk about the troops gathered in Void City at this moment, there are at least 40,000 troops, which is almost half of the total troops under Xiao En's command.

Thain glanced at these camps, and found that almost all of them had black-striped square flags.

This is a mercenary flag that is different from the designation flag.

As we all know, the designation banner is a special honor of the army. Each designation banner is recorded in the military history book. There are detailed records, so the designation flag cannot be used casually.

But the mercenary regiment is also equivalent to the army in its essence, but these mercenary regiments belong to the army without master. Therefore, in order to distinguish each other, naturally some unique things will be painted on the flag. It's just that these are not designation flags, but so-called mercenary flags. Unlike the designation flags, the gold and silver borders are different. Most mercenary flags use red, black, and blue borders as flags, and their meanings are also different. It symbolizes red rock, black iron, and bronze.

In the world of mercenaries, what color fringe to use is also a kind of knowledge. As long as the combat power matches the strength, the superior color can be used as the border of the flag.

Like red, which is usually used by small mercenary groups or fledgling mercenary groups; black borders. It means that the size of this mercenary group is more than 5,000 people; as for cyan. Usually a symbol of a large mercenary regiment,

This means that the number of people exceeds 30,000.

And there is another color above the cyan, which is orange which is different from the gold, and belongs to the exclusive border pattern of the top ten mercenary regiments. To get fringes of this color, there is only one way to replace it.

Of the seven camps present at the moment, six are flying black-patterned square flags. The remaining one is hung with the family coat of arms of the Connery family.

"Six mercenary regiments and a private army?" Thain murmured, "As expected of William who does everything well, the preparations are really proper, leaving no gaps."

"My lord. What are you talking about?" Hearing Thain's murmur, because some couldn't hear clearly, Yade leaned forward and asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing." Thain shook his head, "These people don't listen to me, so you take them to camp first. ... Remember, don't have any conflicts with the people here, I will go to the city to report now Just a moment, there will be logistics personnel coming to take charge soon, you take a rest first. Then I will go to Xiao En to report the situation and find a way to trick him out."

"Yes, my lord." Yard nodded excitedly.

Then Thain didn't say anything more, but left quickly.

Watching Thain leave, the smile on Yade's face gradually disappeared.

As a nobleman from the Nugus family, Yade has the same sense of superiority as everyone else, so from the bottom of his heart, he naturally rejects and even looks down on Thain. But since he is an aristocrat from a big family, Yade is naturally very good at forbearance, not to mention that he graduated with full marks in aristocratic communication, so this kind of thing of pretending to be a grandson in front of others is his specialty.

The reason why he was so attentive and respectful to Thain before was purely because of the order of the Nugus family and the future of Thain. But when he discovered that the Fourth Darbion Legion didn't pay much attention to the orders of the future star of the Darbion Kingdom, Yade's mind immediately became active: If he can successfully kill Sean this time, and only If he can return to Dabion alive alone, then he will undoubtedly become the biggest contributor to this incident.

But how to go back alive is a difficult problem.

After thinking about it, Yade finally came up with a way to push Thain out as a scapegoat. After all, Xiao En was assassinated by the rebel army when he came to review the army, and someone must be responsible for it. And Sean Hastings is undoubtedly the best candidate. After all, both the people on Sean's side and the people of the Darbion Kingdom know that the hatred between Sean and the Hastings family is unavoidable at all. thing.

And after everything was considered, Yade has not been idle for more than half a month.

Using the identity of the Nugus family, he easily gained the trust of the commanders of the Fourth Darbion Army. Therefore, although Thain was the commander of this army in name, in fact he was completely emptied by Yade and became a polished commander.

at this time. When Thain left, Yade had already turned around with a gloomy face and gave orders to several mid-level officers of the Darbiang Fourth Army, who had been promoted to his confidants, to prepare them to fight at any time.

On the other side, Thain also came to the Lord's Mansion soon.

People in the lord's mansion are no strangers to this extremely fast and powerful general. Of course, he is also no stranger to his superior means. So Thain didn't wait too long, and was received by Sean, and the people present included William, Annuo, and Bannock, a person Thain had never met before. As for Rena, he was nowhere to be seen.

"Ready?" William asked.

"Yes." Thain nodded, "The 15,000 people secretly transported by Dabion. Although I am the commander in name, the army is not commanded and controlled by the army, but by A person named Yad Nugus is in charge of the command... His other identity is to monitor me, but he is currently busy with work, so he has no time to go into the city with me."

"The people of the Nugus family can't hold back anymore. They even sent people from their own family." Sean snorted coldly.

"I think that should be the meaning of the Nugus family to show respect to Thain." William frowned, "It can be seen. The other party is really trying to win you over."

"My lord is joking." Thain bowed slightly. "There is only one person I am loyal to now, and that is Lord Xiao En."

Sean turned his head and glanced at Sean. No matter in expression, action or tone, Sean was impeccable. He was like a true loyal minister. He had a fearless spirit of sacrificing his life for Sean. . It's just in the scene shown by Sean's real eyes. The scarlet brilliance emanating from Thain's body was even stronger than what he had seen a few days ago, which obviously showed that the hatred for him continued unabated.

"It's hard for you." Sean's words obviously had some puns.

"It is my honor to serve you." Thain lowered his head even lower.

"With the troops we deployed in the suburbs, is it enough to deal with those people?" Sean turned his head and looked at William.

"More than enough." William said calmly. "There are only two places that are suitable for camping in the vicinity, and I have cut them very cleverly. If I only choose one place, it will definitely not be able to accommodate 15,000 people, so if there is no conflict, the other party can only Divide into two camps. Of course, if the other party clashes with other people, then we have more reasons to take action....And with 40,000 troops against 15,000 people, as long as those mercenary regiments don't be stupid, There will be no problem."

"After swallowing these 15,000 people, plus Fred's victory in Suo'an, there will only be about 220,000 troops left on the southern noble faction of Dabion." Sean said in a deep voice. "However, the current situation is indeed very critical. The Boulder family has already joined the war, and they are currently in a confrontation with Asuna in the territory of Modeg, and it is said that there is an army of about 100,000 Reinforcements are being sent to the Mordeg leader, so in any case we must weaken the Nugus family's forces as much as possible, otherwise we really have no way out."

"As long as the second-stage plan is successful, we will proceed to the third-stage tactics." William said in a deep voice, "At that time, the encirclement network of the Nugus family will lose at least 100,000 troops. Maybe , we can not only recapture the Chirav Territory, but even the Berbice Territory can be swallowed in one go."

"Then, please prepare for the battle, we will launch a battle in the early hours of tonight."

"Master Sean, I still have one more thing to report." Just when Sean was about to issue a combat order, Thain said suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Sean asked.

"The ones who came with me this time were not ordinary soldiers, but soldiers from the Fourth Darbion Legion!"

Hearing what Sean said, Sean raised his brows suddenly.

William's reaction was much more straightforward than Sean's: "Soldiers of the Fourth Darbion Legion!? Why did you wait until now to say something so important!"

PS: In the past few days, due to the problem of the cervical spine, I have been unable to concentrate. Basically, I have to lie down and rest for a while in ten or twenty minutes. In addition, I have a headache and cannot concentrate, so the code words have always been intermittent. It took a full day and a half to complete this chapter including the revisions. It was originally planned to be a long chapter, but considering that it has not been updated for two days, I cut a section and updated it first. ... I will code some more when I am in good condition. The condition of the cervical spine has improved a bit today. I will try to write another chapter today.
