Chapter 47: The Most Unreliable Troops

The battle in the field of Transvania shook the entire peninsula. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A unit with no actual combat experience can fight like that with 10,000 Norman light cavalry, and I heard that the commander Reinhardt was exiled to the New World because of a command error (in fact, he was caught off guard).

The Norman mobile forces were largely ineffective and had to bypass Transania and return to the northern border, which gave the Near Eastern Army a buffer time to arm itself with all means and prepare to defend the pearl of the peninsula.

Then the Seventh Legion came here with great might, but it looked a little strange......

"Hey dude, ...... you guys?"

"Haven't you seen horse meat?"

One soldier gave the guard a blank look and strode into the city gate with a bloody piece of flesh on his back, and behind him there was an endless soldier carrying the same thing.

This is all to solve the little food and grass left, and it is also necessary to give the soldiers more meat, after all, half of the battle is really broken after a battle, and it is necessary to eat a good meal.

There are also weapons and equipment for the war dead, this is a big head, and the officers unanimously said that if they can't pull these back, it is better to directly receive the employment fee, and everyone will go their own way.

Therefore, among the soldiers, you can still see the earth element slowly pulling a lot of cavalry equipment forward, and the officers of the logistics department who came in a hurry had red eyes, and shouted directly: "Stop me!" Don't you guys know that all the seized materials have to be handed over to the logistics department!? ”

General Durant, who was hiding behind the team, relied on magic to see this scene, "Look, I said that the bastards from the logistics department will come to rob Hu, are you sure you can handle it?" ”

"Of course." Lorraine said confidently, "This is the Seventh Legion appointed by the previous king, and this is a foreign army!" ”

Then the officer of the logistics department decisively said, even if you are the emperor Lao Tzu himself, you must hand over the things first, this is the territory of our Near East Army!

"Are you mistaken! This is a legion that I formed at my own expense, and you want to take all the spoils before I let my men take a sip of water, do you want to make the soldiers shed blood and tears! ”

Lorraine's shouting didn't seem to have much effect on them, and he immediately called out to Carl Jr., who should be said to be a great power of the future, and began to speak as soon as he heard Lorraine's request.

"Comrade soldiers (hey!?) )! Do you see what these greedy officials are trying to do? (Wait, that's not it!) They want to take everything you deserve, and we can't afford to swallow it! (Seems good.) Today you are silent, they will take the spoils, tomorrow you will be silent, they will take away everyone's wives and daughters, and the day after tomorrow you will have to be silent, because they will kill you with guns! (Is this the rhythm of the uprising?) )”

At this moment, Lorraine felt that he had gotten rid of it, he really shouldn't have let little Carl mobilize the soldiers, these soldiers who didn't have much combat effectiveness, their eyes were red by what he said, and cutting off people's money was no less than killing his father's hatred, and the anger that rushed to the sky soared into the sky, and the sound of war drums resounded throughout the earth, and the next moment ......

"Have you had enough trouble, Colonel Lorraine and Taylor?"

A familiar figure came from behind the officers of the logistics department, as the guards squeezed through the crowd, the crown prince Baron walked over, I haven't seen this iron-blooded and ruthless real man for a long time, but is he getting old a little fast?

Gray-white hair, lifeless eyes look lifeless, but the tough guy eyes can still suppress the audience, maybe the adverse circumstances of these days can have an indelible impact on his health, but Baron is still the overlord of Korsalan, the bloody executioner.

"Long time no see, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... The Commanders of the Seventh Regiment, Lorraine Taylor, and their officers and enlisted men, report to you. ”

"Well, it's hard work, the logistics department of your captured trophies will be discounted truthfully, converted into gold coins and paid to the Seventh Army Corps, and the headquarters will properly arrange the stationing of the troops, is there any problem?"

"No, everything is up to your instructions."

Baron gave Lorraine a serious look, waved his hand and motioned for everyone to disperse, "What are you all doing here?" Is your job done? Why don't you go to training yet!? ”

How dare the Near Eastern Army disobey the crown prince's orders and disperse in a hurry, and the Seventh Army Corps also followed the officers to solve the garrison problem at the signal of Lorraine, while Lorraine and others followed Baron to command the fortress.

The situation here was just as he had imagined, full of busy officers and staff officers, and even if the Norman mobile unit was incapacitated, the traffic situation was still not optimistic.

However, at this moment, Baron led everyone directly to the conference room, looking like he was going to say something.

"Sit down."

When everyone was seated, Lorraine found out that the crown prince had driven out all the guards and faced them alone, didn't he worry about safety?

"Originally, I didn't expect you to come back to the rescue, I know the situation in Korsalan very well, the south was beaten into a mud by the Serlanders, and the central region has not developed much, but you have recruited a whole army of troops, which surprised me."

"Actually, it's all a money offensive...... Also, His Highness Balon is bothering you to pay the salaries of the soldiers, and I can't support the 100,000 gold coins I paid before. ”

Baron glared at Lorraine, but unfortunately when it came to money, Lorraine's skin thickness rose to the level of the battleship's main armor plate, and his eye attack failed to penetrate the faceskin armor.

"I'll pay!"

"Tell me how many of you still have them, although I don't expect the Seventh Legion to be able to fight or not, it's better to have points, so I can pay with peace of mind, right?"

Several people quickly looked at each other a few times, and General Durant spoke: "Ahem, Your Highness, then I will be in charge of the explanation." ”

"At present, there are about 2,000 hand-to-hand combat troops left in the Seventh Legion, and most of them are injured and unable to fight, but after a bloody battle, they have also gained experience as peasant soldiers, and I believe that after a few more battles, the surviving soldiers can become veterans."

"The musket unit is the smallest loss after the battle, there are still more than 1,000 people who can fight, most of them are composed of the Near Eastern Army, adventurers and hunters who stay in various places, the quality of individual soldiers can not be compared with the main force of the Near Eastern Army, but it is also stronger than the militia and guerrillas, as long as they pay them, they can be trusted, but the morale of the mercenaries is generally not high, and it is better to use it in a safe position."

"There are more than 1,000 sappers, 300 cavalry and 4 mages, these people also played a lot of roles in the battle, but unfortunately the number and skills are very lacking, the sappers are purely the peasants who put down their hoes, and the cavalry is simply the infantry who rode the war horse, it is too difficult to let them charge, and it is too slow to ride a horse as a patrol cavalry, as for the mage...... Indeed they were adventurers, but unfortunately they were better at skirmishes, and this time just preparing stealth and flying skills cost them most of their mana. ”

"To sum up...... Durant looked at his colleagues, gritted his teeth and said: "Now the Seventh Army is worse in combat than when it first arrived here, and it can only be called a militia regiment at most." ”

"Do you hear that, Captain Lorraine, this is simply the most unreliable unit."

Lorraine is uncomfortable, of course, but what can be done about it?

"If you want to laugh at me, go ahead, but don't forget to pay me!"

"Don't be angry, there's no point in laughing, I'll pay you the money for the legion, but how about you listen to my command?"

Baron's words made Lorraine even more confused, how did it sound like a conspiracy?

"Yes."

"Very well, your rewards will be sent out soon, and I have a meeting without accompaniment."
