Chapter 484: Confrontation

The proud Victorians, not wanting to fight without a fight, retreated like this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThey have been fighting the most elite armies of the Great Orc tribe for many years, how can they take a nascent country in the wasteland into account?

What's more, the main force of the coalition army is not composed of their Victorians, so they are even less afraid.

It's always easy to let someone die for it.

But for the two counts, Sade and Sneijder, things were completely different.

If the decisive battle were to be fought, and if the battle had been lost, the Victorian knights would have been able to break through with their own strength - and they were all cavalry - but it was uncertain how many of Florence's and Pudri's armies would have escaped in the desert.

Although, before the start of the war, it is not a good sign to imagine the situation of defeat. But looking at the current situation, the two counts are not blindly optimistic, and they do have a rather pessimistic view of the next war.

As a result, the discussion between the three commanders of the coalition forces turned into a dispute and then into a quarrel.

In the end, Sneijder left 'I will never take the lads of Purdry to their deaths!' Such a sentence, and then just shook his face and left.

Admiral Mars's face was also quite unsightly, and he cursed in his heart, and then turned his gaze to Sade.

Count Sade is not as irascible as Snead, but this is because he still has the responsibility of being the commander of the coalition forces, and it is not easy to turn his face directly. But he was also dissatisfied with Mars in his heart, and only heard him say: "Admiral Mars, if you want to continue fighting, you can do it, but we can't blindly start a war with the Sindelares without intelligence. Our scouts had no advantage in front of their opponents, and our air cavalry suffered heavy losses in the course of reconnaissance. If you really want to keep this war going, can you ask your Victorian knights to come forward? ā€

Mars said, "You want us to be scouts?" ā€

Thad shrugged his shoulders and said, "Doesn't it seem like we have much of a choice, don't we?" ā€

Mars said angrily: "No kidding! We are the Knights of Victoria, haven't you heard of us? Well? How can you say such a thing as having my heavy cavalry go as scouts? ā€

The president of the coalition army stretched out his hands and said: "Then it seems that there is really no way for us to reach a consensus." ā€

"Shit!" Mars cursed, turned and left.

……

"Those puppies from the west have been in place for three days, they won't have any conspiracy, right?"

It was Brigadier General Corsero who said this. The elven officer, who had been competing for the position of general two years earlier, finally got his wish and became a general, albeit only a brigadier general.

After the establishment of the Kingdom of Sindlaire, Dane felt that there seemed to be a missing link in his military system, a link from a senior officer to a general. According to Dane's vision, the colonel should be the highest level of the officer system, and the major general should be the person who can take charge of himself. Generally speaking, a major general is qualified to command an army on a front, and at least an entire corps.

However, the kingdom doesn't have that many legions to take with them. But those veteran officers who followed Dane in the southern and northern wars could not be without a way to be promoted, and it was not good to keep them in the position of colonel forever.

Thus, the rank of brigadier general came into being. Generally speaking, the rank of brigadier general is awarded to the commander of a garrison corps in a region, or the deputy commander of the main corps, or the direct commander of a key elite unit.

Corsero is now at the rank of brigadier general, and he, in addition to leading a wing in the Komyrya Legion, has also served as the deputy commander of the corps, becoming Pehins' right-hand man.

"I don't see it." Major General Elder on the other side said, "I don't think these guys dare to move on." ā€

"That's right, that's what I thought. Their scouts suffered heavy losses, and the air cavalry had also been devastated by Colonel Cyber's air formation three days earlier, and they should have been terrified. ā€

"Poor ghost." Corselo said, and then, with a look of eagerness, he encouraged, "Shall we take this opportunity to launch an active attack?" ā€

"I don't think so." Sacco said that now that he has the rank of major general, he has taken over the position of the commander of the White Wolf Legion, and has become one of the top military officials of the kingdom, "Your Majesty's order is to ask us to conduct defensive operations here. Don't forget our mission, we just need to make sure that the enemy doesn't continue eastward from the Wasteland Pass. Although the enemy does not seem to be so difficult to deal with, looking at their military camp, it is obvious that they have not yet reached the point where we can control it, and there is still a certain risk of launching an active attack. ā€

Corcello pursed his lips, and he looked at Peshinth. Admiral Pehin was the commander-in-chief of this war.

The elven general said, "We really shouldn't take any chances. Now that the enemy has ceased to move, there is no need for us to start the war lightly. It's good to keep it that way. Corcello, we're going to step up the scouts' scouts, and we've got to keep an eye on these guys. At the same time, you guy should not be too reckless and impulsive, the confrontation between the scout troops is allowed, we must continue to implement the strategy of suppressing the other party's scout reconnaissance, but, I will never allow you to attack the enemy's large army without authorization, all important actions must be carried out with my consent, do you understand? ā€

"Understood, Madam Commander, you are the commander-in-chief. ā€

"It's good to know."

……

In the period that followed, the borders between Cindelair and the Duchy of Florence were in a constant state of tension. In this way, the two armies confronted each other, and skirmishes were frequent, never broken.

However, the seemingly tense situation that could start a decisive battle at any time is actually quite stable. The combined forces of Florence and Pudri, when suppressed on all fronts, did not dare to move a single step at all. And Pehin didn't plan to take any chances, this confrontation seemed to last a long time.

However, this does not mean that there will be peace between the Kingdom of Sindelair and the coalition forces. Instead, an even bigger storm is brewing further south.

That's the ocean.

Someone is talking about mercenaries, huh......

Mercenary is probably the first novel I have read in full, and it still has a great impact on me, and I still have a full set of genuine physical books of "Mercenary World".
