The Count of Brest is worthy of being self-made, from a noble relative who is not worth a lot of money - the family has been scattered for a hundred years, I don't know how many such relatives - a person who has succeeded in a coup d'état and became a real Earl, the ability of the hero may not be there, but the character of the hero has indeed learned a point or two.

After making up his mind to send troops at the moment, he did not hesitate to prepare everything in just half a day.

Of course, because of the news in advance, the ordnance, grain and grass have already been gathered, and all that is needed to be done now is to take it out of the warehouse again, but it also reflects from the side that this earl has some ability to control his army.

To put it simply, the earl's army is all the earl's, there is no baron, knight or the like to divide, and the military order is issued without condensation, although it is not like an arm's command, but it is also extremely rare in the Middle Ages.

Of course, most of the reason for this is that the earl's territory is small, and compared with those kings, it is like the difference between the mayor of the town and the governor: there are few people, and it is naturally easy to manage, while when there are many people, people's hearts are mixed and chaotic, and it is not so easy to fool.

However, hehe, for the sake of face, let's try to raise the reputation of Lord Earl a little more. After all, if the enemy is Zhuge resurrected and uses soldiers like a god, then it is not a shame to be defeated in the hands of such a person, and it can even be said to be honorable; But if the big words are too full at the beginning, and the enemy is as stupid as a pig, then if he loses, what is he worth, is he not even as good as a pig?

In ancient times, two people, as long as they are not enemies of life and death, always have to praise each other before they start, this is the truth.

Two lives, this kind of vanity fair things, although Magnus rarely participated, but some of the ways have also dissipated the fog, leaving only the veil of half-covering the pipa, which is no longer so unfathomable.

Therefore, without the Count of Brest himself knowing, some of the affairs of his youth, such as 'riding alone for a thousand miles' and 'killing several people with one sword', these things were originally exaggerated by the ignorant, and Magnus exaggerated them again, and then spread them to the barracks.

The rumors were not about the Count as a man, but as some kind of monster.

It is conceivable that originally, something suddenly happened to the war horse, which was already a bad omen in the eyes of the soldiers, the people were panicked, the morale of the army was floating, Magnus put the rumors out again, although these rumors were too exaggerated to be believed, but they still effectively suppressed the morale of the soldiers.

Before the start of a major war, instead of weakening the enemy, he did his best to reduce the morale of his own side, which was the first time in the history of warfare.

But Magnus wasn't in a bad head yet.

The person who is full is overflowing, and the overflowing is a loss for a long time, and there is a saying that it is just not long, so it has the name of one can be two and cannot be repeated.

And before that, the morale of the soldiers had already reached the point of bursting, and the cavalry was the king of a hundred soldiers, and they were entitled to be proud; And the infantry, for the first time in the lives of these infantrymen, they have encountered so many cavalry gathered together - the cavalry represents destruction, and so many cavalry, it represents the power to destroy everything - under the guidance of this ideology, the infantry is also demoralized.

And bursting means being arrogant.

As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated, Magnus keenly found that even the Praetorian Guards he pulled out were a little uncontrollable in such an environment, and it was inevitable that he would be a little absent-minded when standing guard.

That's why Magnus thought about suppressing and suppressing the morale of the soldiers, which was like a spring, and the harder he pressed now, the higher he jumped when he actually fought.

And, since it was said that the fight had begun, after a day's march, the army of the Count of Brest had marched in front of Magnus, and the two sides were only five miles apart, and the cavalry was within reach.

To tell the truth, Magnus was quite eager to take advantage of the Earl's long journey and unstable foothold, and maybe he could scatter the enemy on the spot, and the war would be won...... However, after thinking about it, Magnus had to abandon the idea.

Because even if he brought it up, Odegar and Duggan wouldn't agree, and it was just a waste of words.

――As mentioned earlier, the Middle Ages of Europa were very similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a famous saying, which was called: "The Spring and Autumn Period is an unrighteous war." ”

The so-called unrighteous war, that is, those rules in the past, what to hand each other before the war, after the two generals meet, they can also drink and talk about elegance, and after the Spring and Autumn Period, these unspoken rules are all gone!

Since then, war has torn away the veil of tenderness that humanity has imposed on it, revealing its naked, bloody true colors. Conspiracy, subterfuge, sneak attack, poisoning, assassination...... only seeks victory and does not care about the means, no wonder Old Master Meng is about to come to the Spring and Autumn Festival with a heartless war.

However, this unrighteous war is not in place in one step, from the righteous war before the unrighteous war to the unrighteous war, there is destined to be the first person to eat crabs, and such people generally do not end well.

There are no crab eaters on Europa yet, and Magnus doesn't want to be the first to eat crabs.

Moreover, even if you want to eat crabs, you have to wait until you have a doctor - the country is strong enough - so that even if the crab is poisonous - which arouses the hostility of the Europa nobles - you have the backing of the doctor and are not afraid of losing your life.

Thus, the first night of the arrival of the Count of Brest's army passed peacefully.

Well, maybe it's not quite appropriate to say stable?

The smell of horse manure that permeated the air was only five miles away, and the Earl was at the downwind, as long as the wind blew, countless 'fragrances' immediately went away with the wind, and many of the unprepared Earl's army spit it out at that time.

In fact, many of Magnus's troops vomited, especially those grooms who took care of the horses full-time, almost died en masse on the first day, becoming the first victims of this war.

However, the stench that could not be suppressed by covering the mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief soaked in water was proof that the messenger was not lying, and that Magnus's horse did not stop having a sudden diarrhea!

"Back to camp! I'm going to make a war letter to those guys on the other side, and I'm going to ...... tomorrow No, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will fight to the death! ”

At that time, despite the extremely embarrassing situation, although many of the soldiers under the earl had lost their combat effectiveness, and even the count himself would vomit if he put down his handkerchief, the count just felt so proud that he even felt that there was nothing in this world that could stop him!

Lady Luck was smiling at him, and Lady Victory had opened her hands, just waiting for him to pass them over, so what else was the Count afraid of?
