Chapter 81: The New Commander (2)
"Oh?" the mourner looked at the middle-level apostle who dared to look directly at her with interest, and asked with a smile, "You tell me, if Adams is not suitable for this position, then who is more suitable?"
"Me!" The mid-rank apostle looked at the mourner without any fear, and shouted, "I believe that if you let me command these soldiers, I will definitely do a better job than Adams Quart!"
The mourning lord lifted the chin of the middle-ranking apostle and asked softly, "Young man, tell me what your name is?"
"My name is Wyatt Gobb, and I'm the cousin of Wyatt who died in the battle of Saint-Sophie! Please give me a chance to avenge my brother!
The mourner smiled and continued to ask, "But, do you have that strength?"
Wyatt Gobo looked at the bereaved master with a firm face, nodded and said, "I believe that the appearance of a person in our family who has been killed by humans is already the greatest shame, so I will not let our family have a second shame, so, please believe me!"
The mourner's eyes swept back and forth between Adams Quaert and Wyatt Gobber, and they were silent for a long time. Just looked at the two of them with a smile, and didn't say anything else, but Adams Quaert said because he couldn't stand the look of the lost master: "My lord, if you want to give up my position to it so easily, I can only accept it willingly." However, I am absolutely not convinced! Because I have done nothing wrong!"
Wyatt Gobbaugh, on the other hand, looked at Adams with disdain, and sneered, "What else can you do but use a little trick over and over again? Even if you don't get noticed by those little bugs that time, it's only a matter of time!"
Adams Quirt did not fight back at Wyatt Gobbo's ridicule, but looked at the smiling mourner and said sincerely: "My lord, if you let me leave this post like this, I will not be willing to die!"
"What do you think I'm going to do? Let you die?" the mourner looked a little helpless, but what no one else knew was that it was actually what the mourner wanted to see now. In fact, how could Ureva and Wyatt not know about the previous battle between them, but instead of intervening to stop or ease the relationship between the two, she turned a deaf ear to it. If it weren't for the fact that the contradiction between the two had reached a point where it threatened the life of one of them, the mourner would not have come forward.
There are advantages and disadvantages to allowing one's own internal conflicts and strife to occur. The advantage is that the two sides of the struggle can work faster and better to a certain extent, but the disadvantage is obvious, that is, it is very easy to cause vicious fighting, so that everything outweighs the loss. But of course, the mourner will never allow his subordinates to have vicious competition, but he is also very happy to see the healthy competition of his subordinates for the same purpose. Just like Ureva and Wyatt, perhaps the Adams Quaert and Wyatt Goeb in front of him are good heirs.
For Adams Quaert, a non-apostle who had single-handedly promoted himself to his current position, the mourner knew when he first mentioned it what kind of trouble he would face in the future. It's extremely difficult for a non-apostle to lead an army of proud apostles, if you have enough prestige, but it's a problem to lead a dozen people like Adams Quart's current situation, let alone lead the current army. Adams' advantages are as obvious as their disadvantages. Its advantage is that it is cautious, and it knows that it is extremely difficult for it to climb to its current position, so it must not let the mourner feel any dissatisfaction with it. Now that the bereaved master has been able to transform it from an ordinary descendant of slaves into a high-ranking apostle, it can be brought back to the position where it had begun. However, being too cautious has also become a stumbling block to its climb to higher heights. Sure enough, after that mistake, Adams Wiath gradually became a little timid. The prestige established in the army is also gradually eroded.
However, it is still very reluctant to let the mourner just remove Adams Wiath from his position. The Apostle had already lost many of his best generals in the last battle, and the only ones were Shadow and Eurie Ellie, who were not suitable to command the soldiers because of their status. Therefore, Adams Quart, who has Zhuo Yuan's insight, has become an excellent candidate to replace Ureva, who has committed suicide.
But is there only one Ureva enough? The obvious answer is that it is not enough. What's more, the successor of this Ureva is far from reaching the standard of the Buddha-figure, so there is a great need for a Wyatt who dares to fight against it. But as it happens, although Adams Quarte and Urereva have nothing to do with each other, the current Wyatt Gobor is the cousin of Wyatt who died at the hands of Rebec.
Adams Quart's somewhat sad voice brought the mourner's thoughts back to reality, and he said to the mourner, "If I want me to die, I will die!" As soon as he finished speaking, Adams Quert drew his sword and wiped it off his neck. Of course, this suicide was blocked by the mourner.
The mourner took the saber away from Adams Quart's neck, and then chuckled, "Of course I wouldn't let my own high-ranking apostle kill himself just because of a word. You are of great importance to me and to the entire apostolic community. But... The mourner turned to look at Wyatt Gobbo and said, "I admire you now, not because of the ability you haven't shown yet, but because of your guts. If I asked you to be Adams' deputy to assist him in a victorious war, would you refuse?"
"And it?" Wyatt Gobbo looked at Adams Quart, who was also very surprised, the muscles on his face twisted, and he looked extremely hesitant, or he could simply describe it as reluctant. And Adams Quaert basically has the same expression.
"Why, do you refuse to question your superiors with your actions?" said the bereaved with a hint of mockery, "but as far as I know, your brother will always tell him if he has any grievances against Ureva. Even because Ureva's partner has become a drag on the army, your brother can kill Ureva's partner without hesitation in order to maintain the normal order of the army. Are you really its brother?"
The excitement of the mourning also succeeded in arousing Wyatt Gobo's blood, and he said loudly: "I am definitely its younger brother, and what it can do, I can do the same, and what it can't do, I will still do! I will use my strength to prove that I can bring a great victory to the apostles with that fellow!"
"That guy?" the bereaved owner looked at Wyatt Gobbo with some amusement, but didn't correct his misnomer. Just said, "You should know how to be polite to your boss." I think it won't be long before Adams himself will tell you that what you just said broke its heart. Tell me, Adams, will you take revenge on Wyatt for that?"
Adams Quart's face turned red inexplicably, and he said with some dullness, "No, my lord." If you let it come to my aid, I won't have any private revenge on it!"
"Good, good. The mourning lord nodded with a smile and said, "Then, the next attack is set for a day later, you can use a maximum of 20,000 troops, and you can arrange siege weapons as you like." Also, before this winter comes, I need you to be able to take over this clown country, or at least break through this thing called the Courage Line, which makes me sick. Well, there is nothing else to say about this meeting, and besides, don't let so many apostles gather here in the future, I just want to talk to you. ”
The two apostolic generals nodded again and again, looking at the mourning lord with respectful eyes, the absolute leader of the apostles slowly disappeared, and then impatiently dismissed the surrounding apostle soldiers and returned to their respective camps. The apostolic soldiers also dispersed, waiting for the next day in confusion and worry. How could these two incompatible generals work together and win a victory that the apostles are now desperate for? They don't know, and they don't want to know. The only thing they care about now is how to avoid dying, and at the same time, they can accumulate military merit by constantly killing small bugs, or simply, like Adams Quaert, they can be trusted by the Lost Lord with just their brains, and go from being a slave to a high-ranking apostle who leads the army. It may seem impossible, but since there is already an Addams Quart, why not a second or third?
The next morning, before the sun had risen to its highest point, the soldiers of the Danmos Empire stationed on the Courage Line finally ushered in a large-scale war in the true sense of the word.
In order to make it more difficult and satisfy the mourner, the two apostolic generals, who had great contradictions, unexpectedly unanimously decided to place this battle in the strongest place of the Courage Line. This is a long line of defense, and an entire corps of troops is deployed here, but that's not all, around them, if necessary, another entire corps can be sent out from the corps on both sides of the area to support them in just a few tens of minutes. It also has the most weapons and mages in the city than the rest of the Courage Line. Adams Quirt had made several tentative attacks on the area before, but was somewhat frightened to find that there were probably more than a hundred humans here who could use the magical elements of magic. After Adams told Wyatt Gobbo about the situation, he immediately unified Adams's plan. Only opening a way in the most difficult place is the best answer to the mourner, and the two apostles thought of this in unison.
Although the 20,000 apostles were not all the apostolic forces gathered at this time under the ruins of the Magellan Kingdom and the line of courage, Wyatt Gobo was sure that these apostolic soldiers were definitely the most elite apostolic army among all the apostolic soldiers now. Wyatt Gobbo showed his extraordinary ability for the first time in the day that had passed, and it took him only one day to select the best 20,000 men from among the mixed apostles, and they were indeed the elite of the apostles. Adams also strongly agrees with this, and it is from this moment that Adams Quaert has a new understanding of Wyatt Gobble.
The next day, it was Adams' turn to show his strength. Although it had 20,000 cards in its hand, it did not use all 20,000 cards in one go, but only sent an army of about 2,000 to launch the most violent attack on one of the points. But it's a point, but this section of the wall is also more than ten meters long. Adams Quarte had several crushers under the cover of the apostolic soldiers, braving a rain of arrows and flames, to reach the city walls with great difficulty. But instead of attacking the walls, these behemoths crouched down. With his own flesh and blood, more and more apostle soldiers were multinationalized, and those arrows rained down the city.
Of course, that's not enough. Even the crushers didn't have the means to reach the top of the Courage Line, and they needed specially made ladders to climb up the Courage Line with difficulty to engage the soldiers of the Danmoth Empire stationed in close combat. In recent times, the defenders have been increasing the height of the Courage Lines, making them a few meters higher than when the Apostles first attacked, making it more difficult for the Apostles to climb the Courage Lines. However, they did not come to climb the city walls.
Not far away, Adams Quert and Wyatt Gobo watched it all coldly. Then Wyatt Gobo let out a whistle, and then hundreds of stronger Apostolic soldiers appeared in the ranks that had not yet joined the battle, but their role was not to tear the humans apart with their weapons, but to carry what they carried.
It was a huge ladder that required a full ten apostles to carry to barely move, and it seemed that these ladders would be absolutely towering if they were erected. Of course, this was impossible, because the two apostolic generals knew that they would not be able to build such a huge ladder now. But it doesn't matter, because they have not only ladders, but also crushers who are like hills.
One of the ladders finally came under cover to the city of the Courage Line. Then, a surprising scene appeared.
