Chapter 55: The Battle of the Tria 4
(Happy New Year's Day, all of you!I wish you all the best and a new year!)
"I'm glad you changed your mind. "On the other side of the Tria, in the joint military camp of the Temple of Hostility and Tyranny, Helrington spoke to Truman after another military meeting, "You see, as long as we're close, we're still invincible partners, aren't we?"
Truman's analysis was correct.
Although the conflict between Horcente and the Temple of Tyranny over time will intensify in the near future, Helrington was not Truman's political enemy.
With Helrington's transcendent position in the Temple of Tyranny and his reluctance to get involved in political disputes, his identity is even more pure. But if something doesn't go his way, then the political toddler will fight back forcefully, embarrassing everyone who dares to touch his moldy head.
That's why Truman said that politically, Helrington was still a child who hadn't grown up.
- When I think about it this way, I seem to have to thank this electorate for saving me enough face.
Truman thought bitterly. But to be honest, Herington's words made him unhappy inside.
'Invincible?' Truman thought, 'No, I want not to be invincible, I want to be invincible, no matter what methods and means are used, I want and only victory!'
"You're right. But when the words came to his lips, the old and serious Truman said according to the other party's wishes, "Then let's talk about how to attack." β
"I don't recommend crossing the river by ferry, you know, we have too few ships. It would be a fantasy for a transport ship to break through the blockade on the other side!"
Truman also considered this, and he nodded, agreeing with Helrington's opinion.
"So the best option is this shoal, and of course we will be subjected to heavy sniping. However, this is at least better than the embarrassing situation of being beaten passively on the ferry. Truman stroked his beard, "Let me be the vanguard, and believe me, I will hold a clearing on the other side for you, so that your troops can cross the river in peace." β
Although he had long been familiar with Helrington's character, Truman couldn't help but be impressed by the spirit he showed at the moment.
"It's going to be a big loss. Truman kindly reminded.
"When dealing with infidels, you don't need to take your losses to heart. β
On behalf of Grand Duke Marcus, I thank you for your generosity and bravery. With only one attack, Truman found himself somewhat fond of this brave warrior, "Of course, I will send you the most elite marksmen and halberd troops, the former can cover your crossing of the river, and the latter can provide you with some help." β
"That's the best!" said Herrington clapped his hands. He felt that everything was back on track, that they were so close that they sent all the infidels who dared to resist to hell!
"However, regarding the choice of location on the battlefield. "I mean, if I had a choice, I don't want to have a final battle on the banks of the river, so I think this time the river crossing will only need to repel the snipers of the other side." We have the advantage of strength, there is no need to rush forward, as long as we follow the step-by-step process, the victory can belong to us. β
Herrington thought for a moment and reluctantly agreed with him.
"Here!" Truman nodded in satisfaction, then pointed to an open area on the map, "This is the final battlefield we have chosen!
"That's great. "But don't mind, I don't mean anything. I just don't think Brent will choose this place for the battlefield, either on the banks of the Tria, or he will have to retreat in his capital of Yarrow. β
"So, if his sniper operation fails, it's up to you to hold him back. Truman sincerely negotiated with Helrington, "But please keep a certain distance from the opposing forces, we just need to hold on, we don't need to be defeated at one time, I don't think Brent is that simple, you must be especially careful of this area, you can't fall into his ambush." β
He pointed to a narrow strip of land across the river to the chosen battlefield, where there were mountains on either side, not high, but large enough to hide a small force.
Hellington's face froze, "Understood, I'll be careful." β
The two left one after another, arranging their own subordinate affairs.
With everything in order, Helrington stood on the east bank of the Tria, looking out over the land to the west.
"Everything is in order, my lord. As the deputy, the archbishop bowed, and Helrington said that he was going to arrange the matter himself, but in fact most of the things were handled by the archbishop.
"Hmm!" Herrington's reply was neither salty nor bland.
"Are you thinking about Pastor Louis? I've heard about it, and that's a shame! Pastor Louis is a good brother, but ......."
"No!" Turning back to glare at the Archbishop with cruel eyes, Herrington made the former feel like he had done something stupid.
He shouldn't have mentioned that name, he thought it would bring Harrington closer to him. But now it seems that the name is a taboo among Helrington.
"I'm just thinking about how to kill those infidels!" said Helrington, word for word, "just like Louis taught me!"
Hairington clenched his fists. In his more than 30 years of life, he will never forget two things.
One was the warm steamed bun that the stern-looking priest handed him that winter, and the other was the chest that the priest with the mace was impaled in the chest by the child with a dagger in the middle of his hesitation.
The fool gave life to a thief who was dying of starvation, only to be killed by another thug's child.
Since then, Helrington has never been soft on anyone, even if he is just a baby crying in swaddling clothes.
At about the same time, in the main account of the Rosente side, Brent pointed to the map.
"The battlefield we chose is here! The ambush in this narrow strip is divided into two parts, remember your battle plan?"
"Understood!", "Understood!"
Hoyle, Nell and others took over in turn.
The final military deployment had been completed, and before that time, people had been ordered to leave, and the main tent, which had been full of people, was empty. After this military meeting, Brent must also lead the main forces to the chosen battlefield.
Charlotte and Nell stood to his left and right, and Brent held out his hand, and the three of them folded their fists in turn.
"Brothers, let's work together to create miracles," Brent said.
Charlotte smiled, "That's exactly what I always do! β
Nell also said, "Brother, I'll go first!
"You too, we all have to live to meet the victory!"
The three brothers left separately, and Brent looked at the distant sky and stretched out his hand to the sky.
"Father, mother, brother, sister...... Do you see? I'm going to be there, to end the lives of Truman and Harrington in that battlefield of my choosing! So, before that moment comes, don't hesitate to despise me! Truman, Harringtonβ"
