The courage to deal with life's problems illustrates how a person defines the meaning of life.

– Alfred Adler (Austrian psychologist)

After more than 30,000 wolf cavalry retreated from the battlefield, Leonidas's Spartan legion was not teleported back to Rome by Bai Feng;

The Spartan Legion, which was full of 10,500 soldiers, suffered only 1,700 or so soldiers killed in a bloody battle with tens of thousands of wolf cavalry, and among the more than 2,000 wounded soldiers, Hua Mu, a field doctor, Hua Mu, recovered the combat effectiveness of the wounded very quickly.

With the exception of the Spartan Corps, which was summoned by Bai Feng at the last moment of the breakout battle, the casualties of the other breakout armies were enough to be described as heavy, especially the Seventh Wing and the Assault Wing, which had been fighting at the forefront of the battle, and the casualties of these two armies were heavier than those of the other armies.

The Seventh Wing, which had 10,000 soldiers at the time of its entry into the war, was left with only 4,700 soldiers who could continue fighting after the war, 3,600 soldiers killed in battle, and 1,700 soldiers who were seriously wounded and unable to fight.

Of the 16,000-man assault wing, only 9,400 men remained, including more than 3,000 lightly and seriously wounded, and more than 6,500 elite veterans were killed.

The reserve unit, which belonged to the same battle group as the Seventh Wing and the Assault Wing, suffered small casualties because it basically did not engage in head-to-head combat with the orc army, and the reserve force with a full strength of 12,000 soldiers still maintained a strong combat effectiveness after the war.

Among the four units under the command of the battle cluster, the most unsatisfactory battlefield performance was the Iron Guard, which suffered the heaviest casualties; the Iron Guard, which was formed by the Marquis of Rundstead himself, was indeed a good offensive in the first battle, but it was also an indisputable fact that it was defeated by the wolf cavalry group.

The 10,000-soldier Iron Guard, with more than 6,000 dead on the battlefield, was trampled to death by the wolf cavalry who were crushed on the way to the rout.

When the whole army was resting after the war, when Ranocchia came to Bai Feng and the Marquis of Rundstead with the Iron Guards with only more than 3,000 soldiers left, although the Marquis of Rundstedd did not say anything, the irrepressible disappointment on his face was even more painful.

As one of the five Iron Tigers trained by the Marquis of Rundstead, Ranocchia is also the actual commander of the Iron Guard, and at least half of the responsibility for the defeat of the Iron Guard on the battlefield lies with him, after all, there is no excuse for the defeat of the Iron Guard.

The rout of the Fire Legion can be explained by the unfortunate death of the commander of the legion and the great demoralization of the whole army; the rout of the city defense army can be explained by the fact that they have not undergone formal training; but the rout of the Iron Guard, there is no justified excuse or justification.

In fact, Ranocchia did not think of using any excuse to shirk his responsibility, and the purpose of his army to Bai Feng's side was to hand over the command of the Predator Guard to Bai Feng, which was the most appropriate way for him to take responsibility.

"Ranocchia, you are one of the five iron-blooded tiger generals personally trained by the marquis, and you are also the commander of the Iron Guards that I personally entrusted with the important task; I believe that you are the most suitable person to command the Iron Guards, and I will not mention the matter of handing over the command in the future. ”

"But, General, I ......" Ranocchia, who was full of shame, hesitated for a long time before he said with difficulty: "It was my poor command that caused the collapse of the entire army of the Iron Guard, if you don't take back my command, how can you convince the other armies." ”

"It is not only the Iron Guards who have been crushed by the wolf cavalry, but also the Fire Legion and the City Defense Army; according to what you say, then don't I have to take back the command of all the generals of the Fire Army and the City Defense Army?

"But ......"

"Nothing to do! Ranocchia, you are an Imperial soldier, and Imperial soldiers are obedience to orders! If you really feel that you are responsible for the defeat of the Predators, then you should try to rebuild the Predators and bring them back to their former glory!"

In the face of such a submissive Ranokchia, Bai Feng, who was disappointed in his heart, rudely interrupted his explanation, perhaps this rough way is more suitable for Ranokchia, after Bai Feng said this, Ranocchia changed his tone and reinvigorated himself:

"The last general, he will not disgrace his mission, and he will definitely lead the Iron Guards to win back the glory they once had!"

Looking at the back of Ranocchia in the distance, the Marquis of Rundstead, who was speechless just now, spoke: "Although these five tiger generals are the generals I have personally cultivated, they all lack actual combat experience and frustration blows;

"A general who can win a battle may not be able to withstand the blow of defeat; only a general who has experienced setbacks can truly grow into a general who is in charge of his own affairs! However, the price we have paid this time is inevitably a bit too heavy. ”

"More than 20,000 of the 80,000 soldiers of the city defense army were killed, and only 25,000 of the 35,000 soldiers of the Fire Legion remained. After first telling the casualties of the city defense army and the Agni Legion, the Marquis of Rundstead asked Bai Feng, "Your battle cluster, how is the situation?"

"In the morning 50,000 lions went out of the fortress, and at noon 29,000 remnants ate dry food. Bai Feng, who smiled bitterly, said helplessly: "If it weren't for the orc army taking the initiative to withdraw from the battle, God knows what kind of ending this breakout battle would have." ”

"No matter what, we're all killed, aren't we?" The marquis, who was quite free and easy, comforted Bai Feng before he turned his tone and said:

"The casualties on the side of the 39th Army and the 40th Army are still within acceptable ranges, and I plan to dismantle the officers and men of the city defense army and replenish them to the other armies, so that the armies can be restored to full strength as much as possible, what do you think?"

"It is true that the performance of the city defense army is not as good as that of other armies, and it is a better choice to break up and integrate into various armies. Bai Feng, who nodded in approval of Marquis Longdstead's method, reminded after a little thought: "How should the three main generals of the city defense army be placed?"

"The Marquis of Bernard of the Fire Legion has just been killed, and the two captains of Totila and Giscard are qualified enough to temporarily serve as the chief and deputy commander of the Fire Legion, and the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Legions can be replaced by D'Ambrosio and Bella. ”

"Well, such a transfer is a promotion for both Totila and Giscar, and they shouldn't refuse. In addition, the First Reserve Army and the Second Reserve Army could be combined with the remaining City Defense Army to form a new corps, with General Giannou as the commander. ”

The Marquis of Rundstead was the nominal supreme commander of the armies, and Bai Feng was the de facto supreme commander of the armies.

Rodriguez, Eder and other five division commanders of the Fire Legion were naturally dissatisfied with the two airborne corps commanders, Totila and Giscar, but the generous addition of 25,000 soldiers of the city defense army to the Fire Legion forced them to accept such an arrangement.

The armies of the battle cluster, which had more than 20,000 dead soldiers, were also replenished by the city defense army, and even the 39th and 40th regiments, which had just been taken over by D'Ambrosio and Bella, were restored to full strength with the addition of soldiers from the city defense army.

Bonella's 1st Reserve Army and Carroll's 2nd Reserve Army were combined with thousands of officers and men of the city defense army to form a reserve corps, and the reserve corps with a total strength of 25,000 troops was led by Giannou, with Bonella and Carol as lieutenant generals respectively.
