The hall of the lords of the city of Saint-Rion, the camp of the commander of the Welsh Legion.

"What kind of arrangement is it to transfer us to the elite Chinese Praetorian Guard Legion but not to the front theater? Isolate us? "Otto and the high-ranking commander above the flag captain of the Wells Regiment stood around a sand table, carefully observing the situation in the east and west after the task force cleared the fog of war.

Art didn't say anything, and he motioned for Otto to continue the discussion.

Otto pointed a slender stick at the city of Saint-Ryan, where the Welsh Legion was currently stationed, and according to the bīng lì bù shǔ diagram of the enemy and our armies that had just been laid out on the sand table, the Welsh Legion was already on the second front, the Forward Legion and the Right Wing Legion of the Liberation Army were in the front, the Left Wing Legion began to advance to the south of Besançon, and the Midsummer Legion was still holding the Black Iron Fort, an important town in the north.

"The front has moved forward fifty miles, and the Wells Regiment is basically the only regiment of soldiers left in the rear of the theater, except for a few baggage, miscellaneous and temporary peasant regiments. According to the reports of our cavalry and sentinels, even scattered peasant troops led by some knights from all over the province of Jonah have been marching into battle one after another, and I really do not understand why the Welsh regiment should be left behind. ”

Art still didn't say anything after listening, this time he went to Bomlaydam City to participate in the first military meeting of the Restoration Army, in addition to learning about the strategic deployment of the Liberation Army and learning that the Wells Legion was organized into the Praetorian Guard, he also noticed a trace of Earl Balwin's strangeness towards him.

When he arrived at Bomledham with his guards from the city of Saint-Ryan, Yat carried gifts full of two carriages, and the Earl of Balwyn certainly received the richest share.

Earl Balwyn met with Art cordially, and he was also very concerned in the conversation with Art, but Art felt that there was a different kind of mind hidden under Balwin's warmth, and a layer of estrangement began to sprout between the two, especially when Balwyn mentioned Flender and Galvin intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was exploring Arter's bottom.

The decision to keep the Wells Regiment in St. Ryan to defend the camp of the Chinese army was consulted with Art in advance, but Balwin told Art that the purpose of this was to preserve Art's strength, and said that he regarded Art as his most confidant vassal.

The reason for preserving strength also stands, after all, the upcoming battle of Besançon will be extremely difficult, and it is impossible for both forces to give up Besançon easily, so the war will be extremely cruel.

However, such a reason can not withstand careful scrutiny, the war will die, there will be war losses, this is inevitable, but the battle for Besançon is obviously the easiest to make meritorious contributions, once the recovery army successfully occupies Besançon City, the army involved in the siege will inevitably be rewarded, and the commander of the army will inevitably be promoted, otherwise Balwyn will not let the most confidant Challis and several viscounts and barons under his command lead their troops to the forefront.

Thinking through this, Art couldn't help but gasp, maybe Balwin already knew what was going on between him and Flender, if so, then Art would not have a good time in the future.

"I suppose Earl Balwyn is deliberately testing us, and we will do whatever we have to do."

"Otto, Angus, the battles of the Wells Legion will not be too frequent in the next period of time, you should hurry up and let the training army, the command camp of the Liberation Army reserve a lot of weapons and armor, during this time I will try to ask the command camp for more weapons."

"In addition, Besançon City is about to start attacking, and the besieging army needs to consume a lot of grain and grass baggage, and the command camp tent has given us the task of escorting the baggage, and sending two flag teams to carry out the task, which of you wants to go?" Art looked at the flag captains around the sandbox.

The Welsh Regiment became a baggage team~

The crowd was silent......

In the following period, the Wells Army really became a "baggage army", and Art did not know what Balwin's intentions were, but he always maintained absolute "loyalty" to Balwin, and he meticulously carried out the military orders conveyed by the Chinese army command camp, and did not show any complaints to anyone.

Let him escort the heavy grain and grass collected and transferred by the province of Jonah to the war zone, and he personally led the army to safely escort the army rations and baggage to the war zone, and put him in charge of the defense of the western border line of the province of Jonah, and he took pains to patrol back and forth along the long border line.

On the one hand, he sent someone to secretly communicate with Flender in secret letters, explaining his situation and countermeasures to Flender, and on the other hand, Art often went to Balwin's command camp.

Taking advantage of this "cold period", the Welsh Legion was also repaired, and after dispatching caravan guards and recruiting mountain hunters, woodcutters, and laborers on the spot, the strength of the Welsh Legion was basically full.

Of course, he also did a lot of "small things" such as reasonably seizing some of the grain and grass and taking the opportunity to replace some weapons and armor sent to the various legions in the war zone......

In this way, the time came in early August, and the battle of Besançon was about to break out.

Heavy troops gathered inside and outside the jurisdiction of Besançon, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

On the eve of the Great War, a mysterious team bypassed the encirclement and blockade of the Liberation Army and entered the city of Besançon and headed straight for the palace.

In the palace of Besançon, Bernard and several important court officials met with the leader of the mysterious team.

The lights were dim, the hall was cold, and a mysterious man in a black hooded burqa sat on a chair at the head of the hall, and Bernard and several important officials of the Besançon court all looked grim.

“...... The Count of Burgundy can give you at most one county and three castles and surrounding territories in the southern part of the eastern part of the province of Jonah after the rebellion has been quelled, and Wallonburg is the eastern barrier of the whole Count of Burgundy, and we cannot give it to you. Your Excellency, this is already the greatest sincerity of the court of the Count of Burgundy, you must know that there is a suzerainty above the Count of Burgundy, and the Duchy of Burgundy has always been tough on the borders of the territory, and we are risking being reprimanded by the suzerain. Bernard's face was haggard and his body was getting thinner, and he said nothing more after he had finished speaking, but looked coldly at the Swabian envoy hidden under a black hooded burqa.

The Swabian envoy under the hooded burqa took a sip of the gold-plated silver goblet on the wooden table, and said softly in a not very mellow Burgundian language: "Count Bernard, you are the one who asked Swabia to send troops to help you with the secret letter of state, and it is you who asked me to come to Besançon for secret talks. I have ventured through your adversary's territory to bypass your adversary's army and infiltrate Besançon, and you have now cut off most of my terms, and I have not seen the sincerity of the Count of Burgundy. ”

"Oh, by the way, I can't call you the Count of Burgundy right now, maybe it's more appropriate to call you the court of Besançon." The Hooded Envoy added with a chuckle.

The faces of the people in the secret hall were even more embarrassed.

Bernard sighed lightly, looked up and asked coldly, "How soon will you be able to send troops?" 17
