"I don't think there are spies," Captain Hieroni denied Gatthus's suspicions, "Our four major knights already account for more than half of the army's combat strength, and even if some auxiliary knight order defects, it is impossible to have a difference in combat strength, unless—"

"Unless Hieronis, you Windsriders, betray us?" Garrett interrupted Captain Herony, jokingly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hah! It's possible! Captain Hironi replied with a smile.

There was a burst of laughter in the conference room.

Although our Wind Cavalry Regiment is in an awkward position in the military department, everyone still has absolute trust in the character of our commander, not to mention that Commander Hieroni is a friend of Gatus and Tina for many years, and no one will believe that Commander Hieroni will betray - of course, some civilian officials of military conspiracy theories may be exceptional.

"But yours is there!" Gatus laughed for a moment and slapped Captain Hieroni on the shoulder, "Annihilate us in one fell swoop—how did you come up with that?" It's really possible that as you said, I'm really convinced! ”

"Well," Marshal Shivat nodded approvingly, "it's not easy to see that—at least not my old fellow!" ”

"It's not me, I'm not that smart!" Captain Hironi smiled and raised his hand to me, "That's what he thought." ”

"Huh? Is this little guy?! Gatus screamed, looking at me in amazement like everyone else.

I was so embarrassed that I didn't know what to do for a while.

What the hell is the head of the regiment up to him? What are you doing pushing me forward?!

"His name is - Threstin?" Marshal Shivat stared at me for a moment, and then asked Commander Hironi, "I just heard Alves say that he was the same one who killed the detachment of the demons a while ago...... Hieronis, where did you find this little one? - So good? ”

"Well, yes!" Tina agreed, "His skills and brains are so good, no wonder Alves wanted him just now!" ”

Gattes asked me a little puzzled, "It seems that your squadron leader was personally ordered by Esther, what is your origin?!" ”

“……”

"He's the son of Roktar, the same kid I saved four years ago." Captain Hirony answered for me.

"Roktar's?!" Gatth looked shocked, "You're Roquetar's kid?!" You're alive?! ”

I don't know why Gatus was shocked, but I nodded respectfully and replied, "Yes." ”

"No wonder you're so smart," Tina said why Gattes was shocked, "Your father was a well-known wise man back then, and he taught Gattes, well, Threstin, since you think of the purpose of Tayek, you don't just think of the purpose, right?" Can you tell us what they might be prepared to do? ”

“……”

Want me to say? At such an important military meeting, you want my little squadron leader to speak?!

I looked at Captain Hironi with some embarrassment.

"If you tell you to say it, don't be afraid!" The regimental commander responded to me with a smile.

"Oh......" I thought for a moment, "I don't know what Tajek is going to do, but ...... Although we decided the place of the battle, I think that Tayek and they should have thought that the location of their battle would definitely be opposed, and the place we proposed must be the most suitable for our battle on the Shaylis Plain - so a trap was set up on the Shaylis Plain, considering the characteristics of our cavalry as the main force, the trap they could take was nothing more than a trap or something, plus they had been digging for nearly a month, I think it was not impossible to dig a tunnel from the mountains to the Shaylis Plain. ”

"It's as simple as that? We've thought of all of that. "Gatus was clearly unhappy with what I said.

I shook my head: "No, it's just a possibility, it makes sense, but it's too obvious, it feels like we've been following the steps designed by Tajek since the start of the war - if it even makes us think that digging a tunnel in the Plains of Shailith is in their plan, I think maybe their trap is in the air." ”

"Air?!"

"Well, in the air," I explained, "they may be in collusion with the demons, and when I kill that demon squad, there are demons who can use the superior fire magic, the meteor fire shower, will they-"

"You're saying they directly let the demons use large-scale magic?!" Tina interrupted me and mused, "They don't have the audacity to openly claim to have a connection with demons?" That would be the enemy of the whole continent - and besides, it would take a long time to unleash that large magic chant, and the magic power would fluctuate so much before the chant was finished, as long as it wasn't a surprise attack, you could know in advance. ”

"What about humans?" Gatus asked.

"There are only a few human beings in the whole continent who can use the meteor shower, and even if they can be invited, the range of releasing the meteor fire shower will not burn 40,000 people. Moreover, it takes a long time to activate that large-scale magic chant, and the magic power fluctuates greatly before the chant is completed, so as long as it is not a surprise attack, you can know in advance. Tina explained.

"The demon who attacked me is hiding in the clouds," I said, "if it's a demon—"

"Are you an ornament for our Holy Flame Mercenary Regiment?! If there were really demons on the battlefield, our fallen priests would have found out a long time ago! Alves interjected.

This one is. I remember that Boss Bai also said that the divine officer can sense the magic fluctuations of the demons, not to mention that Alves was once the second-ranked digital divine officer, so the ability to sense the demons must be very strong, right?

"The Great Sage St. Vorf also believes that there is no forbidden magic that can annihilate 40,000 people in one fell swoop—unless it is the ultimate magic that destroys the world, and Tayek should not want to die with us." Captain Helloni said.

"Ahh It's not like it's underground, it's not like it's in the air! What can be the result of such a discussion?! Gatus scratched his hair and said impatiently, "Marshal! Let's talk about how to fight! ”

"Hmm......" Marshal Shivat nodded, "it's hard to come up with a result now, but I agree with Thresteen's point that there are traps in the Plains of Shailith, and it's good that we have absolute power, so—" He looked around at the generals, "I decided to use our 'strength' to defeat Tayek's 'wisdom'." ”

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.

"My plan is this," explained Marshal Shivat, "that we will first fight Tayek with five thousand heavy cavalry, of course in camouflage - the main purpose is to investigate whether there are traps in various parts of the battlefield, and Tayek has only five thousand cavalry, and even if we fight against us, we will not lose, as long as the main Tayek force does not move, we will not move." ”

"And then?" Gatus asked.

"As long as we know what the trap is, we'll be able to deal with it - bypass the trap and fight them!"

"And what if their main force moves?"

"Their main force is infantry, and as long as their main force leaves their positions, then our knights will go out and rush into the enemy as fast as possible - how can they annihilate the 20,000 cavalry that spread out and assault on the plain? As long as you come into contact with their Chinese army, even if they have traps or magic, they won't have a chance to cast them. ”

"It's about speed and strength - well, as long as the timing is right, even if there are traps." Gatus nodded in agreement, "Then the task of the Knights' assault on the Chinese army must be our Fire Cavalry?" ”

"Who else but you can have that speed and such a strong rush?" Marshal Shivat smiled, "But I'm still a little worried, Hieronis, your troops are assisting, right?" The Auxiliary Knights will follow you. ”

"Yes."

"Tina, your water cavalry regiment is still the queen of the old rules, is it over there of the Tajek mercenary group, although the ground cavalry regiment was defeated once, but the loss of troops is not much, Alves, has your Holy Flame mercenary regiment been able to defeat the burial corps?"

"Nonsense!" Alves said conceitedly, "If it weren't for the messy tasks given to us by the old church school, the number one position of the mercenary group would be ours!" ”

"Well," Marshal Shivat nodded, "you send some powerful priests to help us guard against the demons, I will allocate you five thousand infantry, and you and the Earth Cavalry will resist the attack of the mercenary group, as long as the Tayek Knights are defeated, those mercenaries will not be afraid - what do you think?" Still have questions? ”

The plan was perfect, but-

"Marshal!" I couldn't help but interject, "It's rude, can I make a suggestion?" ”

"Huh?" Marshal Shiwart didn't mind my faux pas, "Threstin, what do you suggest?" ”

"Marshal, can you avoid the Plains of Shailis?"

"Huh?"

"The marshal's tactics are indeed perfect, but I don't think Tajek should be so simple, the trap they set up, although we can't think of what it is, should not be so easy to dodge - are we changing the location of the battle somewhere else?"

"Change the location of the battle?" Marshal Shivat smiled, "How can this be true? What's the difference between that and retreating? We're going to be the laughing stock of the whole continent! ”

"Is there too little queen of the Water Cavalry Regiment who only leaves Titan? In case if the front line is unfavorable, don't we even have reserves? Captain Hieroni suggested, "Why don't you assist the Knights and stop attacking with us?" Isn't it enough to have me and Gatus on the front line? ”

"Well, that makes sense." Field Marshal Shivet nodded, and was about to agree—

"Marshal! In this way, the feats were all robbed by Hieroni and Garthus! - Where's our turn?! One of the generals in the Auxiliary Order grumbled, and a group of people nodded yes.

"Why don't you let us go with Gattes!" Another shouted.

"That's it, the Wind Cavalry Regiment has already established a lot of meritorious deeds, and there is no shortage of such a point - they will give us the opportunity to make meritorious contributions!"

"You guys?" Marshal Sywatt looked at the grumbling generals with some dissatisfaction, "What I want is to be able to keep up with the speed of Gatus and quickly break through the enemy's army - can you have the strength of Hieronia?" ”

"That's ...... That can't give all the credit to the two of them! The general who took the lead in complaining was suffocated and continued to complain, "We have worn the title of auxiliary cavalry regiment for long enough, if we don't give us a chance, how can we be promoted to the main force!" ”

"So is that so?" Commander Helloni took the initiative to give in, "I only bring half of the troops to assist the right wing of Gatus, how about handing over the left wing to your auxiliary cavalry regiment?" -- The reserves will be handed over to the rest of our Wind Cavalry Regiment. ”

"It's okay." The complaining general agreed.

"Well, then let's decide!" Marshal Shivat stood up, "Disband, leave in two days!" ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

"What do you think, Lacey?" On the way back to the camp, the regimental commander asked me.

"Me? Hasn't everyone discussed it? What else do you want me to say? I asked curiously.

"I'm asking you what you think of the marshal's arrangement?"

"I still feel the same...... "I still think it's better not to fight on the Plains of Shaylis." ”

"Well, that's what I think too," the regimental commander shook his head with a wry smile, "but the dignity and honor of knights are something we can't change." ”

"So trouble......" I took the opportunity to complain, "what are you doing, Commander?" Why did you push me to the front desk? It's not that I'm going to—"

"You're a squadron leader now, and you still want to hide behind the scenes?" The regimental commander unceremoniously interrupted me, "If you don't know what you're capable of, how long do you think you can stay in this squadron leader position?" The military department itself agreed to let you be the captain because of Esther's personal order, who can be convinced? Those bastards in the military department have been trying to find a way to kick you out as a squadron leader! ”

"Then let them kick - I don't want to do it anyway."

"How can it be that simple?! I don't want my Squadron Leader 4 to be an unfamiliar guy! - I'm relieved that you'll be my captain. ”

"You selfish fellow!" I wasn't angry, "It turns out that the head of the regiment is for yourself!" Oh...... That's why it's announced that I'm from the Roktar family?! ”

"Of course! Knowing that you are a descendant of a nobleman, those people in the military department will naturally be more at ease to let you be the leader of this squadron. ”

"......," I sighed helplessly.

"Lacey, it's time for you to think about yourself, too." The head of the regiment suddenly said very cautiously.

"Huh?"

"I have the same idea as the princess, and it's time for you to build your own business." The head of the regiment reached out and stroked my head, "Now that Xiao Di's whereabouts can be said to have been half found, what about the future?" Wait until you find Ogi? Are you still going to live this kind of day like a mercenary doing tasks and receiving bounties? Didn't you promise me to take care of Sakura? ”

“……”

"And ......," the regimental commander sighed, "I always have an ominous premonition in this battle, maybe we will be defeated." Maybe I'll die too. ”

"Commander, how can you say that......"

"You let me finish," the commander interrupted me, "that's why I've kept half of the Wind Cavalry Regiment, and when the time comes, your fourth team and Cana's third team will stay in the rear, and if something happens to me, Lacey, the Wind Riders and Sakura will be handed over to you!" ”
