My players are so fierce

Chapter 36 36.Plan D

While Murphy returned to Cadman City with the loot and survivors, the subsequent waves caused by the successful blocking operation were subtly changing many things.

In the pioneer fortress in the East Prussia region adjacent to Transia, a commander wearing a Major's uniform of the Plantagenet Kingdom quickly walked to the frontline commander's office. He held a document in his hand and stretched out his hand to straighten himself. demeanor.

After confirming that everything was okay, he reached out and knocked on the closed door.

This is not only due to good education and personal manners and habits, but also because the General Loren that the major is going to meet is a commander who is strict with everything.

It ranges from the post-war summary of every military operation to the patrolling of the military police's duty routes in the fortress, and even small things like arranging the seats when the schoolmates occasionally get together for dinner.

If the commanders and even the top soldiers of the pioneering legion do not want to be scolded or punished by the stern general, then doing the best in everything they are responsible for is undoubtedly the correct work attitude.

General Loren's famous saying, "Death favors those who do their duty faithfully," gives a glimpse into the general's character.

"Come in!"

A deep voice sounded from the office.

The major pushed open the door and saluted the general who was sitting behind his desk looking down at the map, and reported loudly:

"Report General! The frontline special service report has arrived, and there is an encrypted message in it that you need to read immediately!"

After speaking, the major lowered his voice again and said:

"The content is about the 'goods'."

"Um?"

The general who was looking at the military map raised his head when he heard this, revealing a face in his prime with clear outlines.

He can't be said to be handsome, but his sharp facial features, a classic Chinese character face, and his well-kept beard make him look tough, old-school, and stern.

He threw away the drawing pen in his hand, touched his most proud beard, jumped down from his chair, then adjusted his general's collar badge, and strode to the major.

Finally, the general looked up at him.

Well, everyone rumored that General Loren Frederick had courage and strength that did not match his height. These words were not entirely flattering and complimentary.

It's actually a statement too.

The general of the Plantagenet Kingdom, the most trusted commander of King Louis, a rising war star from the Old Guards, and the absolute pride of the Greene Army. He single-handedly built the skeleton of the Pioneer Army from scratch during the Ten Years' War. General Loren, who integrated his training into the largest legion in the kingdom, is a half-dwarf!

He is half silver dwarf.

This led to the fact that although the general's height stood out among the dwarves, he was still an out-and-out dwarf compared to the 1.93 meter major.

But no one will underestimate General Loren!

Just like no one dares to underestimate the deadly ax wielded by the dwarves on the battlefield.

Those guys who dared to speak rudely to him about his height will most likely not live to see the sun the next day. In addition, there is an unwritten rule in the Pioneer Legion. The entire legion will follow it in formal affairs and private conversations. Try to avoid saying the word "short".

Please note that this is not a request!

Although the general announced in front of all the soldiers on the first day he formed the army that he did not care about the soldiers discussing his height, the half-dwarf blood in General Loren's body was always quietly and stubbornly taking effect.

As we all know, the dwarves on the mainland are famous for their small-mindedness.

In the third month of the founding of the army, after a brave alternate captain was thrown into the front line because he was drunk and insulted the enemy like a dwarf mouse and lacked courage, everyone understood where the general's bottom line was.

Although the candidate captain was lucky enough to survive four hardships and successfully rose to the rank of colonel, it must be said that this is still a sad story.

Currently in the office, General Loren put his hands behind his back, looking up and staring at the major in front of him who was very tall, which made him unhappy, but had a very strong working ability and a very strong background. The latter maintained his military posture and looked straight ahead without any disrespect. To a place where he can find fault.

Therefore, General Loren asked in a deep voice:

"What happened to my cargo? According to the schedule, it should have arrived in the Under Armor Hills area by now."

"The transport team was ambushed, General."

The major quickly walked to the military map of Transia on the wall, picked up a red thumbtack and nailed it accurately to the filthy swamp.

He pointed there and said to the frowning general:

"It happened last night, at about 21 o'clock, sixty elite Blood Vulture Midnight Hunters and their armed blood servants launched an attack on the transport convoy that had just left the filthy swamp. The psionicist in charge of the convoy made a determined decision. resisted and asked the warriors of the Wolfsbane clan to protect the goods and leave first.

But the cunning vampires arranged an interception in advance at the end of the smuggler's woodland. Our brave soldiers finally failed and the goods were confirmed to be lost. "

"Then how did this news come back?"

General Loren did not dwell on the fact that the things he spent a lot of money to purchase were robbed. Instead, he asked:

"So the convoy was not completely wiped out? If any of them survived, why did they only provide me with such a bad report? Who was the enemy commander responsible for the interception operation? Who was the last vampire who came into contact with the cargo?

The most important thing is the battle process?

Did you just use the words "resolutely resist" and get it fooled?

The number of escorts in that convoy alone reached 240!

They are all veterans who have participated in more than three wars. I also specially sent outstanding witch hunters from the White Oak Chapter to assist in defense, and high-level psionicists from the Tower of Rings as spell power.

Such a force can fight against 1,000 armed blood servants on the battlefield! But he can't even stop 60 vampires?

There must be something wrong with the command!

The commander of the convoy had better die in battle, otherwise I will definitely send him to a military court! "

"Regarding this matter"

The major was used to the general's strictness in these details. He glanced at the document in his hand and reported:

“Only three psionicists survived in the convoy, and all the remaining warriors died in the battle, but they eliminated all the invading vampires and blood servants. This was confirmed by Lord Finok, the leader of the White Oak Chapter who came to support at the last moment.

Except for the commander, all members of the enemy were killed. In addition, it can be confirmed that those who attacked us were the most elite Midnight Hunters of the Blood Vulture Clan. "

"Annihilating 60 Midnight Hunters at once? Is it equivalent to killing two of Sarokdar's elite night stormtroopers in one battle? Good!"

The general raised his eyebrows, nodded and said:

"As expected of my soldiers! Well done!

Write down the names of these soldiers, report them to the military with military merit, and apply for 'warrior' pensions for their families. If their children want to join the army, they will be sent to Chungji Academy, and then apply to their families in the name of the Pioneer Corps. An additional death benefit of three months' military pay.

I will contribute 90%, and all commanders of the direct troops will contribute 10%.

Do this yourself.

Also, why does old Finnock appear in the Filthy Swamp? Shouldn't he direct his witch hunters to conduct tactical interceptions along the line from the Under Armor Hills to Cadman City? "

"It's because of rescuing prisoners, General. In a previous contact in the village of Moreland, several witch hunter veterans were captured by vampires. Lord Finock went to rescue them."

The major immediately explained:

"According to the information sent back by Mr. Finock, the vampires' ambush was discovered by the convoy in advance precisely because these prisoners broke free from the restraints in the face of death and risked their lives to ignite the vampires' rear camp. It was the fire that provided the convoy with Providing warnings prevented them from being secretly attacked.

The surviving psionic masters emphasized in their reports that the attack was due to the leak of the news, and the vampires were able to accurately block the time and route of the transport team.

This proves that there are informants within the Pioneer Legion.

After evaluation by the staff department, we believe that this hidden danger does exist, General. "

"We are fighting on vampire territory. The Blood Vulture Clan has been entrenched in Transia for more than 400 years. Isn't it normal to cultivate some human traitors?"

General Loren waved his hand nonchalantly and said:

"Sniffing out and executing traitors is not a problem that we frontline soldiers need to consider. The Military Law Department will take over the next thing. Did their report mention the final whereabouts of the goods?"

"No, General. Lord Finock is currently escorting seven wounded people back to the East Prussia area. The White Oak Chapter's tactical interdiction and reconnaissance have also been completed."

The major replied:

"The Witch Hunters suffered a bit of a heavy loss, but if you must recover the goods, I believe they are still willing to risk another pursuit. It is a three-day journey from the Filthy Swamp to Cadman City. With the speed of the Witch Hunters, they can Hurry up."

"No, give up."

General Loren thought for a while, shook his head decisively and said:

"In the past, I would have never suffered this loss, but now the situation has changed. Frasier, if I remember correctly, you have been on the front line for three years. Do you miss home?

Miss your fiancée you've never met? "

The general's sudden change of question stunned the major for a moment.

It was rare for him to see a general talk about his personal life in the military camp. After thinking for a second, he answered:

"It is my duty, General, to serve in the victory of King Louis and the glory of Plantagenet, and my family supports me, therefore."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The general glared at him, then shook his head and said:

"Write a letter to your family. You can go home and reunite with them in half a month at most."

"ah?"

The major was really surprised now, but he reacted quickly and exclaimed:

"General, do you mean that the war is about to end? But... we haven't invaded Transia yet! Our intelligence collection on the Blood Vultures has just been completed!

There is only one month left for the training of new recruits. As long as everything is ready, we can launch a resolute and devastating attack at any time. The decadent and superstitious Transians cannot stop our troops at all!

It took us ten years to get here, General!

This is the last step for His Majesty the King to annex the Confederation of Portia. How can we give up here!

This must be a traitor around the king and in the Great Council! "

The young major shouted angrily:

"How can those guys who are enjoying peace in the rear end the war when we are about to win? No, those fat-hearted fools betrayed and betrayed us!"

"Shut up!"

Hearing that the colonel under his command was going too far, General Loren scolded him severely. He took out a dwarf pipe and played it in his hand. He glanced at his subordinates and said in a long voice:

"It is the nature of young people to yearn for war, it is the duty of commanders to master war, and it is the privilege of veterans to enjoy war, but to expect war regardless of the consequences is sheer stupidity.

The entire country has been in a state of war for ten years, and His Majesty's reform of this new country has been delayed for too long.

This is the right time for this muddy war to end.

As for the reason, it's not what you think, Frasier. "

General Loren sighed, lit the tobacco, and handed the half-drawn military map on his desk to the major amid the smoke.

The latter took it in his hands and glanced at it, then his eyes widened.

He lost his voice and said:

"This! The Nordtov Kingdom has sent troops?"

"Well, on the eastern front of the Portian Confederation, as you and I are talking, the most elite Winter Wolf Legion under the command of the young but fierce 'Wolf Girl' has crossed the military buffer zone from the Ice Bay to Transia. .

They will beat this corrupt giant hard from behind the Confederacy of Portia. This is the King's Covenant between King Louis and the Wolf Girl, which happened just after the third Battle of Sachs two months ago. "

The general enjoyed the tobacco and explained slowly:

"We don't even need to advance the pioneering legion. We only need to station on the spot to maintain the kingdom's occupation of East Prussia, Saxophone and Cato. The rest will be left to those barbaric and war-savvy Yankees.

They will help us get rid of the last bit of resistance from the Portian Confederation. Of course, as meat for the hungry wolves, the Ice Bay region and the Kavhoka Plain will be theirs after the war.

The entire Bosian Confederation would become history after this war.

As for Transia”

The short general turned to look at the map hanging on the wall.

The terrain of Transia above is long and narrow, bordered by the Ice Bay to the north and the Dark Mountains to the south. Located exactly in the middle of the continent, it acts like a "natural barrier", separating the newly acquired territory of the Plantagenet Kingdom from the Nordic Mountains. The two powerful human countries of the Hufu Kingdom are separated on both sides.

General Loren stroked his beard and sneered:

“The territories of two lions cannot directly border each other, which will only lead to more intense confrontation, but now both sides are not ready to enter the next war.

Therefore, Transia will be divided into an autonomous domain, or it may be a principality, who knows?

The next war will be fought at the negotiating table between politicians, with their tongues and their pens deciding the outcome.

But, Fraser, the war for us soldiers is over. "

The major listened to the general's explanation in silence.

He knew that General Loren wanted to use his mouth to convey this news to the middle-level leaders of the Pioneer Legion, so as to appease the bellicose and eager military commanders in advance.

He himself was actually quite satisfied with the result.

After fighting for so many years, to be honest, he himself was tired of fighting.

At the beginning of the war, he was still a student studying in Port Chardeau, but now he has reached the age of marrying a wife and having children. The most outrageous thing is that the fiancée chosen by his family is said to be great in all aspects, but the problem lies in this marriage. He was almost never asked during the entire process.

There is simply no sense of participation at all!

But on the surface, the major still said angrily:

"But let them go just like that? General, those damn vampires just robbed your things and trampled the face of the entire pioneering army under their feet. If it ends like this, the soldiers will not be satisfied.

As you taught us, the glory of the warrior is above all else!

We can lose our heads, but we cannot lose our knees! "

"Of course I won't let them go so easily. I only said that the two kings would dismember the Portian Confederation. I didn't say that the vampires would continue to rule this isolated land proudly."

General Loren showed a cold smile, picked up a pen from the table and played with it. With a flick of his wrist, there was a bang, and the pen pierced the map like a flying knife.

It just nailed Cadman City's position.

He said:

"Major Fraser, help me contact the stationed psionicist at the Tower of Rings and the leader of the Wolfsbane Clan. I want to activate Plan D!

We may not be able to enter Cadman City as a victor, but I will let those lawless vampires know that their time is over.

End it with my own legions! "
