Haaland Greenis, Grand Duke of Luxon and Archduke of Luxon, were silent for a long time in the barren field after listening to a series of questions from Leclo.

"Lord Duke, we have all overlooked the fact that the Marquis of Lorraine is only a young man of twenty years old, but he has become a legionnaire, and there must be something hidden in this that we cannot guess, and we are probably fighting against an opponent who knows nothing. ”

"What kind of bullshit legion commander, he turned his people into soldiers of the military department, in exchange for the marquis title that should belong to him, Leclo, your courage was lost in the Blue Mountain Pass, is it difficult to reason and wisdom is also scared?"

Porter finally couldn't stand Leclo's pessimistic weakness, and sternly refuted Leclo, his Red Oak Legion basically did not suffer any major damage in the Battle of Blue Mountain Pass, how could he accept the humiliating result of the "truce" now.

"Well, Leclo's bravery is unquestionable, and his prudence has saved the Black Oak Legion many times, and you can't erase his abilities and merits just because of a defeat in a war. ”

Haaland Greenfaces, Duke of Luxon, waved his silver glove, looked at Leclow and asked, "Leclos, are you sure that both Gibbin and Nicro Ponte have died at the hands of that Marquis of Lorraine?"

"I'm sorry Lord Duke, I didn't see it with my own eyes, I just guessed. Leclos replied honestly to Haaland Griffiths.

Haaland Greenface shook his head slowly, "No, you saw with your own eyes that Marquis of Lorraine killed His Excellency Nicholone Ponte, the Glacian of Light, and in a very cruel way. ”

“..........”

"You can't do this, Lord Duke, the people of the Abess Monastery are all crazy, if it weren't for that light ascetic, how could our Black Oak Legion lose six thousand people in the battle.......?

Lecro was an honest and upright warrior, but he was not a fool, and he only understood the intention of the Grand Duke of Lucerne for a moment, and expressed his fierce opposition.

"You're wrong Lecro. ”

Grand Duke of Lucerne, Harland Griffiths, looked at Leclos and said indifferently: "If it weren't for the Light Ascetic Monks to bring holy water, even if you die another 6,000 people, you may not be able to capture the Blue Mountain Pass! ”

Leclos looked at the indifferent Haaland Griffiths in surprise, feeling his heart gradually cooling.

"Lord Duke....... Then we're going to have another 6,000 dead....... Are we going to take the Blue Mountains again, or are we going to let the soldiers of Englu fight for us?"

"Leclos, you are an experienced military commander, you should know what our situation is now, we have lost the ability to launch a large-scale attack, and the battlefield from now on can only be in Lucerne, just like how many times in hundreds of years have been repeated!"

Haaland Griffiths looked indifferently at his loyal and upright subordinate, and asked lightly: "Do you really want to ask me, since there is no certainty of victory, why did you start this damn war?"

Leclo: "........."

Port: "........."

"This war is not what we want to start, it is the common will of many countries, churches, and nobles on the continent, and the countries of the continent do not want to see an overly powerful Franc, and the changes carried out by Rousseff in Lorraine have made them feel frightened, if the nobles give all the right to levy troops and taxes in their territory to the monarch and the state, how strong will the state be? Who can hold Rousseff's ambitions hostage?"

"The establishment of the Lorraine Legion seems to have solved the problem of the lack of standing army of Florence in the short term, but in the long run it is an experiment for the re-emergence of Florence, whether Rousseff's reform is right or wrong, we must disrupt this system and restore the Florence system to a self-interested aristocratic feudal system......."

Lecro and Porter heard the inside story of the war for the first time, and they always believed that the "Greensenburg Incident" was the trigger for the war.

"And you don't have to worry too much, our opponents are only Lorraine, Florence will not send troops to help the Marquis of Lorraine, the actions of the Marquis of Lorraine and Roself have violated the fundamental interests of the noble council, they will only hide and enjoy this wonderful drama. ”

............

............

Naturally, Charles did not know how much of a shock King Rousseff's small step of change in Lorraine had caused, there were smart people on the continent, and any change in the system would stimulate the nerves of those big people.

The Charles were busy perfecting their military command system, and in this brief battle, the young Lorraine Regiment was victorious, but it also revealed some flaws and problems.

"Today I am announcing several things, the first of which is the formation of three infantry brigades in the Lorraine regiment, the first brigade is commanded by Neo Grifte, under the command of six infantry battalions, one artillery battalion........"

"The commander of the 2nd Brigade, Sim Chevalier, has six infantry battalions and one artillery battalion........"

Hearing that Charles announced the candidates for the two new brigade commanders, dozens of young people attending the meeting looked at the humble young man Neo Greft with envy, in their eyes, this bear-like guy was not better than himself, and he was the first to support the military reform of the Marquis, and he rose to the top step by step.

Everyone was not surprised by the choice of the commander of the second brigade, the members of the Chevalier family only occupied one place, and the Marquis was already very generous and fair.

"In addition, I am going to set up a staff of the Lorraine Corps, with me as the chief of staff, and the deputy chief of staff, Pacelle Dannett, and Berne Seurf, ..........."

The two men who had been silent looked at Charles in surprise, especially Byrne, who had never thought that anything would happen to him.

If in the past, when Charles was short of people, Byrne could still understand Charles's use of talents, but now that he has reinstated his status as an earl and reclaimed his territory, his dependence on his team of freelancers has completely disappeared.

Seeing Bourne's crampedness and doubts, Charles smiled and said to him: "Bourne, don't be confused, they are all too young and don't have much real combat experience, and your experience can play a good role in supplementing it." ”

"Lord Earl, although the General Staff Department is not a confidential department, do you still have to apply to those old men in the Military Department for this kind of thing?"

Byrne thought for a moment and then raised his own question, you must know that the establishment of the corps-level staff is not a trivial matter, and the old men of the military department will check the ancestors of the chief of staff and deputy chief of staff for important positions, and Bourne is reminding him in disguise that his background does not meet the requirements of the deputy chief of staff.

I haven't gone to a military school, I'm not from a noble background, and my origin is still a little unclear, can I be the deputy chief of staff of a legion?

"I don't need to explain it to them, I have the final say here, and my staff is different from theirs, so I can't explain it to them. ”

Charles made a big move with a wave of his hand, and he didn't bother to deal with the stubborn dogma of the military department!

A smart and lazy person is suitable to be a commander, a smart and diligent person is suitable to be a chief of staff, a stupid and lazy person can be used at his disposal, and a stupid and diligent person can only be told to fuck off.

Charles is the smart and lazy guy who only needs to come up with a strategic direction and then find a group of smart and diligent people to take care of all the tactical chores for him, and in some special cases, even issue tactical orders in his place.

In other words, these staff officers must be people he trusts, and the military headquarters of the fortress sent people....... I had to spend some time trying to make him commit suicide, it was too troublesome.

Roy, the butler, walked in from outside, "Master, Nelly, they're back, do you want them to come in now?"

"Let them wait for me in the war room. ”

Charles had sent Nelly, Lund, and Matthew to bypass the Blue Mountains Pass and enter the Duchy of Lucerne to wreak havoc, as well as mapping them, but now that they're back, Charles wants to see something they want.

A few minutes later, Charles walked into the war room that had just been set up with a few staff officers, and as soon as he entered the door, he was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise. "Lund, what's wrong with your eyes?"

"Sir......... I ........" Lund smiled very bitterly, a little bit of a forced smile.

Charles couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Lund, because he had two panda eyes on his face that were very eye-catching.

Lund was embarrassed, but Charles' insistent curious gaze forced him to reply, "I sparred with Nelly, and I accidentally got hurt by her......."

"You're going to lose to Nelly?

Although Lund and Nelly are both ninth-rank Wind Hunters, Lund has been a trainee hunter for many years, and has experienced many wars with the Saxon Cavalry Regiment, so he should be stronger than the girl hunter Nelly in terms of strength.

Lund heard Charles's inquiry, and after a long time of muttering, he said aggrievedly: "Master, she really beats!"

Charles looked at Matthew, another family hunter, and the honest and loyal Matthew slipped over and whispered to Charles what had happened.

It turned out that in the past few days of raiding and fighting, the three of them had the experience of cooperating with the battle many times, and Lund slowly fell in love with the young and innocent girl hunter Nelly, and also used various tricks to hook girls.

Chanting poems, sending flowers, playing the organ in the middle of the night, and throwing her hair in front of Nelly from time to time, which made Nelly bored, and brought her pet hound to teach Lund a lesson, and Lund did not dare to fight back with all his might, so he suffered this dumb loss.

"Well, in the future, in the area behind enemy lines, this kind of thing that affects the unity of the team is not allowed!"

Charles grimaced and reprimanded the two of them fiercely, but Lund felt that Charles was warning him.

"Lord Marquis, won't even Nelly let go?God of Light! Why is he so greedy?"

...........

...........

"It is fifty miles from the Blue Mountain Pass to Qingshui Town, the terrain is flat and the road is smooth, there are three medium-sized rivers in the middle, there was originally a bridge on it, but it was destroyed by us, and the Lucson people swam across it when they retreated......."

Simple maps were spread out on the tables in the war room, and several hunters in charge of surveying and mapping took turns explaining the details of the area north of the Blue Mountain Pass to the Charles.

"Didn't the Lucers rebuild the bridge? How many Lucnese natives are there in this area? Did they retreat to Clearwater with the Lucerne army?"

The remnants of the Black Oak Legion and the 1st Brigade of the Red Oak Legion were very hasty when they withdrew from the Blue Mountain Pass, and all the baggage was basically abandoned, and they could retreat to Qingshui Town without relying on the bridge, but now they have not started to build bridges again, so does it mean that they will take the defensive next?

"Sir, the Lucnese were divided into two forces at that time, both of them were vying to return to Qingshui Town first, and there were even some skirmishes between them, where is there time to expel the local residents to evacuate to the north, I don't think they will attack the Blue Mountain Pass in the short term. ”

"Very good, if they don't come, we'll go out, such a large area, or a flat and dense river-covered arable area, don't be a fool!"

“.........”

Several hunters in charge of reconnaissance, several new members of the staff, Byrne, Passel and others were a little speechless, and it took a long time for Passel to speak.

"Legionnaire, this land has been regarded as a 'war zone' by the Lucernes since decades ago, although there are also villages and towns, but they are very scattered, and the population is not large, and it is impossible to cultivate the surrounding land, we Flens once occupied this place, but in the end we could not bear the harassment and resistance of the Lucernes and withdrew to the Blue Mountain Pass. ”

Nelly also persuaded on the side: "Master, the defense of Qingshui Town is very tight, we can't get too close, we just observed from a distance for a day, but we guess that the Lucers still have at least more than 10,000 troops, so they have enough troops to expel us......."

Charles looked at the crowd strangely and said, "Why should we go out by ourselves, aren't our shareholders waiting to divide the spoils of war in the back? ”

Charles picked up a red pen and drew an arc on the map around the Blue Mountain Pass.

"Within this fifteen-kilometer range, those who hold war stocks can occupy an equal area of land according to the face value of the stocks, and our defenders of the Blue Mountain Pass will provide them with armed support, we will not care about a small group of enemies, and we will send troops to expel a large group of enemies. ”

"Roy, you release the news as soon as possible, whoever comes earlier will be picked first, and if it's too late, it's gone!"

“..........”

Everyone looked at Charles in disbelief, and couldn't understand why Charles was so shameless, this battle was not over yet!

But judging from the current situation, the distance of fifteen miles is really within the range of force deterrence of the Blue Mountain Pass, and if the Lucsen people do not attack on a large scale, the nearly 10,000 troops of the Blue Mountain Pass can indeed keep one side safe.

"Master, are you forcing them to attack the Blue Mountain Pass again?"

After a long time, the people who came back to their senses asked Charles in a whisper.

"Well, he doesn't like to come, anyway, we don't rush to see if they will find a mad ascetic to help this time. ”
