The conflict between the southern nobles of the Crewe Territory and the nobles of the Northern Dominions has been a long history, and the clash between the officers of the Tenth Legion and the officers of the Harrens Native Force seems sudden, but it is reasonable.

The natural contradictions and the bloody nature of the soldiers suddenly made these young people forgetful.

At the beginning of the fight, both sides were trying to restrain themselves to avoid making a big fuss, but the fight quickly turned into bloodshed as one of the officers of the Tenth Regiment collapsed in a pool of blood.

If it weren't for the fact that there were several noble paladins among the officers on both sides, I am afraid that it would have caused a tragedy at this moment.

"Bang"

"Bang..."

Just when the situation was about to get out of control, the door of the conference room was suddenly kicked open roughly, and the dull loud noise made some officers on the periphery of the fight subconsciously look towards the door.

"Tread"

"Tread"

I saw two columns of heavily armed castle guards marching in orderly steps, led by several officers, and in a moment they surrounded the officers involved in the fight.

It was only at this time that the officers in the middle of the fight reacted, but the dozen or so people in the center were still waving bloody fists, and at least four or five of them fell to the ground and convulsed.

"Use your methods to get these damn cubs to stop!"

An indifferent tone came from the door, and Pedi walked into the hall with several of his retinue and Hallensburg officials,

The giant bear family crest on his general's leather armor and the crystal necklace around his neck symbolizing his status made all the officers who looked at him subconsciously appear a respectful look...

The officers involved in the brawl had their own expressions when they saw Pedy, the officers of the 10th Legion all straightened their backs, and the local officers of Harrens all subconsciously lowered their heads and instinctively departed from the position they had stood in the beginning.

After receiving the order, the commander of the castle guard immediately glanced at the two subordinates beside him, and soon, the castle guards of the two squads skillfully cut through the crowd and walked towards the several officers who were still fighting...

The guards had been ordered beforehand, so even if they knew one of the officers, they wouldn't dare to play tricks under the noses of Pedi and the castle officials.

"Bang"

"Pounce"

A muffled sound was accompanied by the sound of a man falling to the ground, but a castle guard who looked like an officer grabbed his shield and smashed it on the head of Sir Raymond, the most conspicuous man in the crowd.

Suddenly, Sir Raymond's huge body was smashed to the ground at once...

"Pounce"

"Pounce"

Soon, all the officers who were still fighting were tossed to the ground by the fully equipped castle guards, and the few other officers who had not been able to stop the guards in time also took back their fists because they noticed the change in the situation.

At this time, Pei Di walked up to several officers who were knocked unconscious under the arch of a group of officers, and said in an extremely flat tone: "Let them sober up." ”

"Yes, my lord. As he spoke, Collier pulled out his staff, and swung a simple circle at great speed...

"Wow"

In an instant, several weakened 'water polo techniques' landed on the heads of the officers on the ground with unmistakable accuracy.

...

A few minutes later,

More than a dozen officers, led by Sir Raymond, fell on one knee in front of Pedi.

And Pedy is listening to Baron Spock's report...

Baron Spock reporting on the cause of the brawl.

Although Baron Spock's voice was already very quiet, the conference room was too quiet at the moment, and his voice alone seemed so abrupt.

With all the officers and men of the Tenth Army to testify, Baron Spock naturally did not dare to say a lie, and when he explained the reasons for the conflict before and after, the officials of Hallensburg could not help frowning.

After listening to Baron Spock's report, Pedy stayed on Sir Raymond for more than two minutes, and then said in a seemingly mocking tone: "Your hands are too long, sir, and they are too long to touch things that you shouldn't touch." ”

Sir Raymond was shocked!

The other officers, who fell to one knee on the ground, bent down almost at the same time.

"Click..."

In the midst of everyone's horrified gaze, Sir Raymond suddenly put the middle and ring fingers of his left hand into his mouth, and then bit them off!

"It's getting shorter now, my lord. Sir Raymond swallowed his severed finger into his stomach as he prostrated himself on the ground, his shrill voice full of humility.

'Tick'

Blood from the corner of Sir Raymond's mouth dripped down the bluestone floor with his jaw.

Pei Di looked at Raymond's appearance at this moment, his eyebrows jumped slightly, and the thumb and index finger of his left hand on his back kept rubbing, and a strong killing intent suddenly flashed in his heart, but quickly subsided.

In the Imperial Army, brawls were not a big deal, and even when Emperor Laubert and the dukes used to serve in the army, they often fought over trivial matters.

Of course, if you dare to use weapons, that's a different matter, and if the officer who deals with it deliberately targets it, it can even be sentenced to a felony of 'leading a mutiny'.

"All the officers who participated in the brawl today have been demoted by two ranks, and their positions have been reduced by half a rank...", Peddy said, pointing to the dozen or so officers kneeling in front of him, "As for these people, all of them will be removed from the army, and no one of them will be allowed in the next ten years!"

"Your Excellency—" Some officers of the Tenth Regiment couldn't help but want to say something.

"If anyone wants to intercede for them, it's easy, leave with them. Pedi's cold words made all unconvinced voices disappear.

"My lord, the original goddess bless you. Raymond was the first to stand up, whispering the words before slowly exiting the meeting.

However, the other officers who were kneeling on the ground were carried out by the castle guards.

Ten minutes later,

The meeting continued, again Baron Spock's unnutritious topic, but this time everyone sat down and listened intently.

Half an hour later,

Baron Danmen walked into the conference room with the disgusted eyes of the officers.

Baron Spock's seemingly joking words at first were verified, and Baron Danmen took five officers with the nod of Pedy on the pretext of a secret mission, four of whom were native officers of Harness.

Then, the meeting continued...

This boring meeting lasts until eight o'clock in the evening, during which there is a simple dinner and a half-hour break.

Of course, all this was confined to a fixed location, and at the same time, Baron Danmen would occasionally show up and take one or two away.

Over time, anyone who wasn't too stupid understood the real purpose of this meeting...

However, most of the officers did not show any signs of resistance, but had some expectations, of course, those who had problems were naturally living like years, but they did not dare to move in front of the fully armed castle guards.

A quarter past nine in the evening,

Baron Danmen entered the room again, but this time he did not take anyone with him, but whispered a report to Pedi, and then Viscount Bibiel and Sir Bowenlight entered through the side door of the conference room, and discussed with Pedi in a whisper.

At this time, the drowsy officers suddenly came to their senses.

Immediately afterwards, the officials of the castle ended their work of giving speeches, which lasted for more than five hours.

The meeting was in the hands of Viscount Bieber, who did not go into too much detail and soon announced the reorganization of the local forces of Harrens, as well as the new appointments of some officers.

Immediately afterward, Sir Bowenwright also announced some of the latest appointments to the Tenth Legion.

At this time, the officers found that their positions were not demoted because of the previous brawl, but were promoted.

Half past ten

All officers except the corps rank were repatriated to their new barracks.

Eleven o'clock in the evening,

The real military conference officially began.

...

On the morning of September 12,

The Orcs of the Jamich Savannah attacked the walls of Harrensburg as usual.

The offense is not fierce ... Siege towers, trebuchets, hoplites, ladders, the most conventional means of attack, ever since the orcs tore through the outer defenses of Harrensburg, such an attack was carried out every day, as simple as eating and sleeping.

But today, it is destined to be different.

Around twelve o'clock in the afternoon,

While the soldiers of both sides were fighting the city walls, countless Imperial flags suddenly appeared on the horizon to the west of Harrensburg.

A few minutes later, a huge military formation appeared.

The orcs did not show any panic about the Imperial army that suddenly appeared on their flank, and their troops, under the command of the old Overseer Morinda Morinda, quickly moved to the flank to block the onslaught of the Imperial vanguard, and then the army attacking the walls of Harrensburg decisively abandoned the 2,000 men who were entangled with the Imperial army on the walls and withdrew from the battlefield at great speed.

"The orcs reacted quite quickly. Pedi stood on the rampart, looking out at the orc retreating army.

"They were prepared. Viscount Biber shrugged, "Our opponent is not simple. ”

"We are more prepared. Pedi put down his lookout glasses, "I've never been worried about a frontal battle, I'm worried..."

"You mean to ask Sir Raymond?" the wrinkles in the corners of Viscount Biber's eyes huddled together.

"Your methods are too cumbersome. Earl Bane couldn't help but say: "Since these people have problems, then, just arrest them, and when their skin is opened, they will naturally explain everything clearly." ”

Viscount Biber frowned and said, "These rats are more cunning than I thought, I never thought Sir Raymond would go down this path... But rest assured, Baron Danmen's people have already grasped this clue, and I think that there will be unexpected gains in less than three days. ”

Count Bane said impatiently: "Let Baron Danmen be busy with these things, now, the orcs have begun to retreat according to our speculation, so the next step, we will let the ninth and tenth legions advance according to the original plan, so as to force the orcs to attack our main force?"

"No, wait, don't forget, the orcs still have a legion of human rebels in their hands!" Pedi shook his head, "Besides, we still have a force to arrive yet." ”

"Count Jack of the Borgs?" Count Bane reacted immediately.

Viscount Bieber couldn't help but say, "I heard that he had assembled a whole army with the help of a group of merchants. ”

"The merchants would eat him to the bone. Earl Bane frowned, looked at Pedi and said, "The Borgs have been loyal to your family since the time of the Crewe Territory, so for the sake of these hundreds of years, you must ensure that his interests are not violated." ”

Pedy met Earl Bane's gaze and said, "Of course, the Reagan family will not forget everything they promised. ”
