Baden Battalion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the largest military camp of the Jimny Empire on the western front, this military camp covering an area of dozens of miles was built on the east bank of the Inle River, opposite the two eastern counties of the Kingdom of France, Alsace and Lorraine. Beginning on that morning three days earlier, the troops of the Jimny Empire had been marching into the Baden camp in a steady stream. The number of troops stationed in this large camp has also rapidly increased from 20,000 to 50,000, and it continues to increase.

Major General Austin Piast, the young deputy commander of the Silesian legion, was hurrying towards the Chinese horde, and the 15,000 soldiers of the Silesian legion led by him had just arrived at the Baden camp. According to the military practice of Jimny, he had to report within thirty minutes to the supreme commander of the entire Baden battalion, and the commander was, of course, in the tent of the Chinese army.

At this moment, the people in the Baden camp were shouting and neighing, and there were accents from all over the empire, but many soldiers couldn't help but bow their heads after seeing Austin, and expressed their awe to him. However, Austen also knew very well in his heart that what they were in awe of was not the silver armor that was well-made at a glance, nor the blue tassel on Austin's helmet that represented the title of major general, but the pattern on the chest of his armor that represented the Silesian legion - the blood-colored giant fist.

Speaking of the symbol of this blood-colored giant fist, it is worth a special mention by historians. There are countless fiefs in the Jimny Empire, but only the three dukedoms are considered to be the strongest. The Bavarian Territory, where the Bismarck family was based, was known for its unpredictable cavalry regiments, the Brandon Territory, which was under the direct control of the Wilhelm family, was rich in sharpshooters, and the Silesian Territory of the Piast family, where Major General Austin was located, was famous for its heavy infantry.

The Silesian Territory was located in the southeastern part of the Empire, and the people here were tall, burly, strong and powerful, and all of them were born good materials for heavy infantry. In addition, they are extremely resolute in carrying out military orders, and they are not afraid of death when fighting, and they are simply good soldiers that all generals dream of. For hundreds of years, countless Silesians joined this legion to fight in the East and the West, and made great contributions to the expansion of the empire, so they were canonized by the then Emperor William IV two hundred years ago.

God of War Blood Fist Legion!

This is the source of awe in the hearts of the soldiers from other legions, and any ace army is piled up with countless military exploits and corpses, without exception throughout the ages.

As the youngest son of Duke Bainilu Piast, the patriarch of the Piast family, Major General Austin obviously received the unsparing support from his father, not only letting him serve as the commander of the Silesian legion as the deputy commander, but also handing over half of the elite of the Silesian territory to him, which shows that the Duke of Piast has high hopes for this young son.

However, although Major General Austin, who learned the inside story from his mother, the Duchess of Piast, had led these elite men to the Baden camp at the front, he did not even have the slightest look of excitement on his face, and even walked a little weakly, for the simple reason that -

Although the empire mobilized a total of 100,000 troops to the Baden camp this time, the Kingdom of France had already set up a defensive line with 90,000 troops on the other side of the Inle River, and it seemed that war was about to break out. But Major General Austin knew very well in his heart that the purpose of the 100,000-strong army of the Baden battalion was just a feint, in order to cooperate with some plans of the imperial high-ups, and in fact it would not attack the Duchy of France on the other side of the Inle River at all!

In other words, after the report, Major General Austin only had to go back to his camp and sleep every day until the order to withdraw was given.

He could only sit in the barracks and become moldy, and he could not set foot on the battlefield to win glory and make contributions to the country, which the young and ambitious Major General Austin could not bear at all!

But what can he do? The order of a soldier is to obey his duty, and Major General Austin knows this.

In any case, let's talk about meeting my boss this time! Major General Austin took a deep breath and walked into the tent after confirming the identities of the two guards at the door of the tent.

The big tent is very large, and it is not a problem for a large one to accommodate hundreds of people. Major General Austin first saw a large sand table, then the desk behind the sand table, where a figure in black heavy armor was lying asleep on the huge map on the desk, his hair disheveled so that Austin could not see his face.

Austin found the helmet thrown under the desk at a glance, and the large wine jug next to the helmet that could hold at least five catties of wine. But also, since it's a feint, as long as someone sits in this position, it's fine, and what does it matter who is the name of the person sitting in the position? ”

In any case, the guy in front of him is always his top boss for a period of time in the future, and the number of courtesies that should be done is still enough. So Major General Austin stopped, his right arm was ten centimeters across his chest, and he made a standard Jimny Imperial military salute, and then said loudly: "Austin Piast, deputy commander of the Silesian Legion, report to you!" ”

The only answer to Austin was the earth-shattering snoring.

A cold sweat dripped from the young major's forehead, and he decided to repeat it again: "Austin Piast, deputy commander of the Silesian Legion, report to you!" ”

The snoring is unmoved, still rhythmically undulating.

Major General Austin's brow furrowed slightly, and anger began to appear on his face. As the favorite son of the Imperial Minister of War, Austen has long been regarded as the future Duke of Piast by the major families of the Empire, and he doesn't know how many people want to woo, befriend or even tie up with him. I don't know how many generals I have seen in the military department on weekdays, which one is not respectful to himself? Now that this guy in front of him is so disregarding himself, is he really indifferent to the anger of the Piast family?

Major General Austin decided to give the drunken admiral in front of him another chance, if he still didn't get a response this time, then Austin said that he would immediately send a letter to his father, the Duke of Piast, to tell this ignorant admiral that he and his family would suffer a little, and let others know that the heir of the Piast family was not known for his good temper.

"Austin, deputy commander of the Silesian Legion—"

"Damn, it's noisy!" The man at the desk finally reacted, interrupting the young major general's words rather impatiently, and then sat up reluctantly and stretched his waist widely.

The furious Major General Austin was almost completely unable to contain his anger, and he stared angrily at the face that had just appeared in his sight—sleepy eyes, a scruffy beard, broad lips, and a rather shocking scar that opened from his left eye to the right corner of his mouth, all of which combined in the Major General's mind, and then quickly emerged into a name.

"Field Marshal Rommel?" Major General Austin looked at the face of him in disbelief as if he had been struck suddenly, his face was incredulous, his mouth was wide enough to fit at least eight duck eggs, and he looked in disbelief at the face in front of him, who was about forty years old.

As the highest military rank in the Jimny Empire, Marshal is not something that can be sealed casually, in addition to the outstanding and earth-shattering military exploits, it also needs the unanimous approval of the Imperial Council, which is composed of representatives appointed by a hundred large families in the empire. Now in front of Major General Austin is one of the two generalissimos of the Empire -

"God of War" Marshal Rommel Evennis.
