"Identity?" Tang Feng was stunned.

"Let's ......" Anthony held out his left hand and made a virtual circle. From Princess Arina and Caton, to Paul and Tang Feng in front of them, they were all circled inside, "All of us here, nominally, are the eldest princess of the empire, and they are the special envoys of His Majesty the King. Falling into this army, whether we admit it or not, is in essence a prison army! ”

Tang Feng was silent.

He is also a man who knows the soldiers, and when he heard it, he immediately woke up to what Anthony meant,

In the power structure of the glorious empire, the relationship between the king and the grand dukes of the major provinces was nominally a monarch and a subordinate rank. But in substance, it's more like an alliance.

For example, Princess Arlina's father, His Majesty the King today. The reason why he was able to sit on the throne was not only that he was one of the top nobles of the empire and had extremely powerful military power. More importantly, it has strong support from the three provinces of Edinburgh, Burgundy and Aberdeen.

It is appropriate to say that His Majesty the King is the representative of the four major powers of the three provinces and the Warsaw County, the largest county in the empire where the capital of God is located. With the most powerful power of the empire, he can take off the glorious crown of the glorious empire and sit firmly on the throne.

Over the years, when there have been rebellions in the empire, most of them have been suppressed by the Grand Duke of the province where he is located, and his Majesty does not bother to bother. If there is a large-scale and far-reaching event, the imperial capital will at most send an envoy to the Grand Duke's Mansion to urge. Even if he goes out with the army, he keeps his mouth locked and easily refrains from expressing any opinions on the movement and operation of the army.

Just because, this is originally a family affair of others. What is it that outsiders point fingers?

In this rebellion of the Grand Duke of a province, the Grand Duke of Edwards was ordered to send troops, which was based on the common interests of the alliance and the obligations of the allies. The so-called receiving the Holy Decree is a good thing to say, and if Edwards does not treat it as a thing, it is just a piece of waste paper. If you find an excuse to drag it out, His Majesty can only stare dryly.

This counterinsurgency army has a complete range of troops, sufficient armaments, and is quite strong. It may not be enough to pull Edinburgh on the Eastern Front to go to war with the Riga Empire, but against the relatively weak Taranto, it is an extremely strong army.

The only thing that is lacking is combat power at the highest end.

Even if it is the Grand Duke of a province and a gold-level martial arts powerhouse in the fourth realm, it is not something that can be recruited if you want to. After a hijacking incident, the Grand Duke of Edwards wanted to keep the strongest warrior by his side to ensure the safety of himself and his family.

So in this army, there is not a single top powerhouse.

The powerful combat power of the top powerhouses is sometimes as strong as an elite army. When used correctly, it can be enough to reverse a war of disparity in power under certain circumstances.

General John knew that it was powerful, and he was extremely enthusiastic about the "prison army" with the "Azure Sword Saint" Caton and the mysterious genius boy Anthony. Not only did he make an exception and arrange a luxury carriage for the princess and others to travel. A thousand-strong army was allocated and placed under their personal command - even if it was a recruit corps composed entirely of non-professionals, it was already very valuable.

It can be said that this is the most harmonious cooperation between the local army and the "supervising army" of the imperial capital since the founding of the glorious empire.

But no matter how harmonious it is, when it comes to army command and combat strategy, it is General John's forbidden area. If Caton or Anthony had been there, he might have been patient enough to explain. As for Tang Feng, a little black iron fighter, hum, he was not kicked out of the military meeting, which can be regarded as giving face to the two strong men

Tang Feng and Paul, two newcomers, are not ranked at all in terms of qualifications or strength. It stands to reason that it is not their turn to lead the team and lead the troops, and they are assigned the positions of chief and deputy commanders. However, it was impossible for Caton and Anthony to lead the troops in person, and the silver fighters, as the princess's guards, had the responsibility of guarding, and they didn't look down on this team of recruits, so they were also lacking in interest.

So Tang Feng and Paul were so surprised, and it was very reasonable to serve as the leaders of this recruit team - at least, compared to Lin Zhifeng and Xu Feng, whose personal combat strength was no different from ordinary people, the Black Iron Fighter and the outlier boy with different strength and temperament were more suitable.

To Anthony's surprise, Tang Feng was actually very keen on leading the army to fight, and he didn't seem to be a novice who didn't know anything about military affairs. Listening to Lin Zhifeng, it turned out that he was still a military fan, yearning for the iron-blooded pride of "a good man will immediately become famous".

Well, it's a small surprise.

As for Paul, it's just a dozen soy sauces, purely made up. Tang Feng fought for the affairs of the army, and the "Chrysostom" was frequent. He watched dryly from the sidelines, well, I guess he couldn't figure out what he was arguing about.

……

The march of a large army, unlike the gallop of a single horse, is much slower.

The army marched for nearly ten days before slowly approaching the border between the two provinces.

Her Royal Highness Princess Arina was naturally anxious, but she also knew that there was no way to do it.

And also with enthusiasm is the commander of the counterinsurgency army, General John.

General John has been in the army since he was a child, starting from the bottom of the army, slowly rising to prominence, accumulating military merits and gradually rising to the ranks. By the age of thirty, he was appreciated by the Grand Duke of Edwards, and was exceptionally promoted to take charge of the army for the Grand Duke, and it has been more than ten years since then.

During this period, there was also help from the family. But more often than not, it still depends on General John's own ability and efforts.

In his early forties, he was in charge of the military power of a province and became the most powerful person in the glorious empire, and General John was proud of himself.

However, he has always hidden a knot in his heart.

The Riga Empire on the opposite side made a "Riga Six Famous Generals", and its fame spread throughout the Oss continent as the empire went to war everywhere.

The Glorious Empire is in a remote corner, honest and peaceful, and only passively defends when it is bullied by the Riga Empire, and does not even have a decent counterattack.

There are few battles, and it is difficult for even capable military geniuses to emerge. In the entire glorious empire, there is only one famous general who can be remembered by other countries on the continent, and there is only one Grand Duke Mattesias.

It's still because the shell is hard enough and resistant to beating.

If all the generals who command the army are also ranked within the Glorious Empire, at least ninety-nine out of a hundred people will choose Grand Duke Mattesias. The remaining one would also be almost impossible to vote for General John.

A subordinate of the Grand Duke of Edwards in the province of Aberdeen, General John?

Who's that?

General John is not reconciled, very unwilling!

He has been in the army for nearly 30 years, from a small soldier to a general commanding ten thousand armies, and he has extremely rich experience in commanding the army. And since he was a child, he has loved the military, is familiar with military books, and has great experience in marching formations. If it weren't for that, it would not have been valued by the Grand Duke of Edwards and made an exception.

A genius like me should have galloped across the continent of Os, destroyed the city, and became famous all over the world!

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the times, although General John also led troops on dozens of expeditions, they were only confined to the province of Aberdeen. The largest "battle" was to level a village of bandits with less than 2,000 people, including the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

How can such a weak opponent show the might of the general?!

General John is like a fierce tiger, longing for an equally fierce beast as an opponent. For the rabbits, pheasants, mice and other little ones who fled in the wilderness, they are completely dismissive.

I don't know if God also thinks that his talent shouldn't be buried like this, so he casually moved some chess pieces in the overall situation of the world.

So, the opportunity he had been longing for for a long time finally came!

Taranto's army was still a little underweight in the eyes of General John. Therefore, he knew that his battle plan was not perfect, and it could even be said to be a bit rudimentary, but he still persevered.

He wanted to show his subordinates, his colleagues, the Grand Duke, and even His Majesty that with his command skills, even if he only relied on immediate response to the enemy, he could take down the rebellious army of Taranto.

He wants to use Taranto as a stepping stone to show his edge.

After Taranto, it was the Riga Army on the Eastern Front of Edinburgh. Then there was the Riga Empire proper, and then the entire continent of Oss......

General John's sharp and deep gaze flew high and far away over Taranto, which was in sight.

"Report!" A rush interrupted General John's thoughts.

"The front was intercepted by the enemy, and the forward troops had already opened up and taken the initiative to meet the battle. Now the enemy and the enemy are at war! ”

"Good time!" General John shouted loudly, his voice high-pitched and loud, full of energy.

"Let this battle be the starting point for me to conquer the continent!"
