Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

Chapter 244 Sir, times have changed

After a tour of the front line, Derek had a preliminary understanding of the morale of the army.

Dare to fight! Able to fight!

Years of fighting will bring psychological fatigue, but the morale of the army is high and well maintained.

Thanks to the excellent officer corps and the superior treatment that the Northern Principality has always given, the combat effectiveness of the Northern Principality's army is more guaranteed than other armies of the same era.

Armies like the Barbarian Infantry Regiment are even more morale-boosting.

To a certain extent, armies fighting for money are far less guaranteed than the Barbarian Infantry Regiment in terms of combat effectiveness.

The movements of the Holy Cross Kingdom are not a secret, and they cannot be kept secret.

After the establishment of the Northern Principality, there was little movement in the Barbarian Kingdom, because of domestic conflicts.

The Locke Kingdom reacted the most, but the claws that could be stretched out had been cut off.

The remaining one is the Holy Cross Kingdom, which is in between.

But it was too slow. Even Derek took the time to rush to the front line, and the other side was even slower.

"It's really hard to eat shit." Derek cursed in front of his men, but they were all soldiers, so no one cared. Instead, they felt friendly and laughed.

"Such a kingdom is as rotten as an old guy with one foot in the coffin. It's time for us to make way."

Derek's eyes were sharp and his voice was full of power.

"I will take the initiative and put the battlefield on the opponent's land.

We have experienced the days of passive beating.

I hope that the Northern Principality will no longer have the days of passive beating."

He clenched his fist and swung it fiercely.

This represents Derek's attitude and his vision.

But it boosted morale. No one likes to be passively beaten.

Although the final result is victory, the price paid is not small at all.

The scars of Augusta are still there, and the bones under the Birch Castle are still there.

Fighting out shows dominance and confidence.

Others think that the Northern Principality is the weak one. It is sandwiched between three countries and looks like it is struggling to survive.

Adrian was the first to respond: "The Duke is right. The most difficult days have passed. It is our turn to write a glorious epic in the future."

If the Holy Cross people reacted faster, he would have commanded this battle.

Unfortunately, these corrupt guys are as slow as an old woman.

"Fuck him!!!" The Bull roared.

After all, the army on the front line of the Holy Cross Kingdom is the most elite.

Corrupted giants are still giants.

The most elite Augusta Knights are here, the newest artillery regiment is here, and veterans who have fought for many years are also here.

The Holy Cross Kingdom is a great country, and it may wake up at any time. Derek is also the most vigilant.

With the support of these forces, Derek is confident.

Take the initiative to attack and defeat the Holy Cross people.

...

Not only did the army of the Holy Cross Kingdom react slowly, but even the supreme commander has not yet decided.

Count Connor has returned home to retire, and Duke Fernandez is still facing the wall to reflect on his mistakes.

The truly experienced commanders in the kingdom have long died. Among the new generation of experienced generals, Earl Connor is considered experienced.

Having soldiers but no generals is the embarrassing situation of the Holy Cross Kingdom now.

It is not a big deal to have no generals available. At most, you can practice with your life. Anyway, the lives of the untouchables are worthless.

The key to the problem is that the king and the church keep pulling each other's legs.

They are not unaware of the threat from the Northern Duchy, nor are they unaware of the urgent situation, but they have long been used to it and they are not used to it if they don't pull it.

Then... Derek looked at the extremely detailed intelligence in his hand.

"Are these Holy Cross people full of feces in their brains?"

Baron Barin stood aside with a smile on his face, not feeling embarrassed at all. His Excellency the Duke scolded the Holy Cross people, but he was a noble baron of the Northern Duchy. What does it have to do with him?

Ah? You said my father is a Holy Cross person?

Ahem, my old father shouldn't care if the Duke scolds him.

"Duke, the people of the Holy Cross are corrupt and backward, and King Bruno is incompetent. It is time for our Northern Duchy to rise. This is a good thing!" Baron Barin was very happy. He was already a baron of the Northern Duchy, and of course he wanted to see the Northern Duchy become better.

And he really didn't think highly of the Holy Cross Kingdom from the bottom of his heart. It was extremely corrupt and backward.

Apart from anything else, it was unreasonable that such a capable person like him could not get a title.

Besides, recently, the army has not yet been commanded, and His Excellency the Duke already has detailed intelligence in his hands. I am afraid that even if the new commander takes office, no enemy knows his subordinates better than him.

What future does such a country have?

Of course, he completely forgot that he was a national parasite, and the intelligence was also brought by him.

It was too easy to do this. Earl Connor had retreated, but his connections were still there.

Having lost most of his power, Earl Connor had no choice but to deepen cooperation.

In addition to the scum who had colluded with the Northern Duchy, it was really not too difficult to figure out the situation of the Holy Cross Kingdom army.

Derek also agreed with Barin's assessment. The Holy Cross Kingdom has really reached its final moment.

Even without him, it will soon be finished.

The barbarian's plan was successful at the beginning, and the situation of the Holy Cross Kingdom may not be much better now.

Since this old kingdom is about to end, it is better to let himself ring the death knell for it instead of letting others execute the death penalty.

However, after reading the intelligence carefully, Derek had to admit that the Holy Cross Kingdom still had some foundation, and the king and nobles were not stupid.

Really stupid people would have been overthrown long ago.

They were just arrogant, not fools.

After suffering a few losses, the Holy Cross people have been very vigilant.

Although the supreme commander has not been decided, the various armies are very cautious. The large army is assembled, and no one is left alone.

The commanders of various armies have also heard of Derek's reputation. The painful lesson is there, and no one wants to be the next idiot in the textbook.

Therefore, the intention of the Holy Cross people is very clear. I can't beat you, but if you want to kill me, I will break a few teeth.

You have powerful artillery, and I am waiting for you with a strong city. No matter how powerful you are, what can you do.

The large army is assembled, and it is a battle of foundation.

The Holy Cross Kingdom has enough confidence to consume.

However... Derek sneered: "My lords, times have changed."

The Holy Cross people still don't know enough about the power of artillery.

Everyone thinks that the Northern Principality can only protect itself.

The previous series of actions seemed to indicate the conservative attitude of the Northern Principality.

That's why the people of the Holy Cross can pull each other's legs leisurely.

No one, including his own people, guessed what Derek was thinking.

Including the troops on the front line, although the number of people increased by 50%, no one thought they could overthrow the Holy Cross Kingdom.

But no one knew how many artillery the extra troops had.
