Early the next morning, the troops of the battle group that needed to be responsible for the defense of the fortress walked to their garrison positions as usual, and Bai Yi, who was newly appointed by Bai Feng as the commander of the Flame Sword Saint, also came to the fortress wall with the other four Flame Sword Saints under Bai Feng's order.

Bai Feng's task to Bai Yi was to carefully observe the orc army outside the fortress on the city wall, and be sure to find out the identification marks of the generals at all levels in the orc army;

The greatly increased pro-guards were to be used in two parts during the breakout, with Aetius tasked with leading the cavalry to act as the vanguard of the breakout, and while the other systematic infantry was under the personal command of Bai Feng, there were two reserve forces of 5,000 men to command.

After some careful consideration, Bai Feng decided to appoint Bonella, the first captain of the original Special Operations Wing, and Dalun, the third captain of the team, as the chief and deputy commanders of the First Reserve Army respectively, and the two of them would command the reserve force of 5,000 people that was first formed by the Pro-Guard Guard.

Carol, the second captain of the original special operations wing, and Lennon, the fourth captain of the fourth group, served as the chief and deputy commanders of the second reserve army respectively, and the two of them commanded the reserve force composed of 5,000 veterans of the Fire Legion.

The reason why Bai Feng did not appoint the more reliable Hua De, Nishizawa and others as the commanders of the reserve army was because the promotion speed of the latter was too fast, and on the other hand, because the loyalty of Darren, Carol and others had been recognized by Bai Feng.

The cadets who had represented the Military Department of the Imperial Academy in the Eight Nations League with Bai Feng had grown into middle-level generals in the Imperial Army in just a few months, and such a speed of promotion could be described as a rocket-like leap.

In just a few months, Borg became the chief general of the reserve force under the battle cluster, commanding 12,000 soldiers, and the real power was greater than that of the imperial army commander.

Not to mention Nishizawa and Morris, who were the captains of the Assault Wing, each with four supersquads, equivalent to two Imperial Standard Wings, and until a few months ago, they were second-year students of the Imperial Academy who had not even been on the battlefield.

There is always no shortage of exceptional promotions and special promotions in wars, but the promotion speed of Borg, Huade, Nishizawa and others is still too fast, to the point that other generals at all levels have quite a complaint; if it weren't for Bai Feng's reputation being too high, I'm afraid some people would have made a big fuss about it.

For example, when Bai Feng first served as the captain of the Seventh Wing, Bonella, the highest-ranking first captain of the Seventh Wing, was the second person in the Seventh Wing after Bai Feng; at that time, Borg's position was only a small squadron leader.

Even with Bai Feng's deliberate favoritism and careful training, Borg's position was only changed from squadron leader to logistics group leader; the logistics team leader was nominally an officer at the level of group leader, but in fact he was the lowest-ranking group leader in the wing, only slightly stronger than the squadron leader.

Later, Borg rose step by step from the head of the logistics brigade to the current chief general of the reserve force, and it took only a few months before and after; and Bonella, the second person in the Seventh Wing at the time, was still the first captain of the special operations wing, and his position was not high and his power was not high.

Hans, who served as the commander of the Special Operations Wing, was also the fifth captain of the Seventh Wing, in other words, Hans was the new captain of the Bunella who was not as good as Bonella, but now he is the main general of the Special Operations Wing, and Bonella's immediate boss!

Seeing that the veterans of the former Seventh Wing have become squad leaders and squadron leaders of other units, and the former squad leaders and squadron leaders of the former Seventh Wing have become captains of other units, can they be willing?

If all the captains of the former Seventh Wing were standing still, then Bonella and the others would not be too anxious; after all, being able to achieve the position of captain as civilians was already the result of more than ten years of bloody battles on the battlefield.

However, people do not suffer from poverty but suffer from inequality; the same people of the former Seventh Wing, Hans, Borg, Walder, Nishizawa and others were promoted rapidly, so that Bonella, Carol and others, who were higher than them in the past, were embarrassed?

In fact, reusing his henchmen is one of Bai Feng's employment criteria, but it is not the only one; Bonella, Carol and others were all old subordinates of Giscar, and the cautious Bai Feng will not easily promote them until their loyalty is determined.

In the final analysis, Bonella and the others were standing still, and to some extent, it was also a test for them by Bai Feng, and if they couldn't withstand this test, then sooner or later they would become cold numbers on the list of fallen soldiers.

What is gratifying to Bai Feng is that from the Seventh Wing to the Special Operations Wing, Bonella and the others not only did not choose to betray, but completely severed contact with Giscard after the Fortieth Legion left the Twelfth Fortress, and focused all their energy on their troops.

Perhaps, Bonella and the others thought that their contact with Giscard was secret and unknown to everyone, but in fact, every contact they had with Giscard was carried out under Bai Feng's close surveillance, and the specific content of the contact was not hidden from Bai Feng.

Therefore, these changes were under Bai Feng's control, until the 11th Fortress fell, and the 40th Legion returned to the 12th Fortress;

This is the most direct reason why Bai Feng never had the idea of pulling the down-and-out Giscard into his command, and since Giscard chose to use shady means to win over the officers under Bai Feng's command, then Bai Feng could not have hope for him.

As for Bai Feng's politeness to Giscard on the surface, it was just that Bai Feng was concerned about Giskal's status as the head of the Imperial Legion and the power of the Eight Princes behind him;

Bonella and the others, who have proved themselves, will naturally not be ignored by Bai Feng all the time, all the tests are appropriate, otherwise who wants to stay in the army for the rest of their lives, loyal to a lord who will never reuse themselves?

The two reserve units of the 5,000-strong Pro-Guard Corps were newly named the First Reserve Army and the Second Reserve Army by Bai Feng, and the four people who were experienced and passed the test were naturally promoted to the commanders of these two troops.

Compared with Bonella, Carroll, Darren, and Lennon, who had been in the army for more than ten years, Borg and the others, who had only been in the army for a few months, still lacked a lot of experience; otherwise, how could Bai Feng send Upadama to reserve troops to assist Borg in commanding the army?

Whether it is a summoned system general like Licinius or a self-growing system general like Perris, the biggest advantage of all system generals is their innate battlefield experience; they are all natural generals and proficient in various battle formation commands.

As soon as the new promotion order was announced, the four people who were pleasantly surprised, Bonella and the others said a lot of words of gratitude to Bai Feng and swore allegiance to the death, and what surprised Bai Feng was the unprecedented high morale of the soldiers of the Special Operations Wing, which was an unexpected joy.
