The incident happened suddenly and the situation was urgent, and Higg and Blue Fairy had to cancel their plan to go back to Fuxing City to find Delonso, and first go back to Bavaria City to prepare for a fair decisive battle. Although the outcome of this decisive battle will not hurt the vitality of both sides of the confrontation, it will be affected by the outcome of this decisive battle, whether it is related to the morale of the army, the honor or disgrace of the soldiers, and even the justice or injustice of both sides of the war. The winner is equivalent to receiving God's help, and will stand at the highest point of morality and look down on the group, while the loser will not lose all the games, but the negative impact on the spiritual level of the entire camp will continue and be far-reaching!

Therefore, this life-and-death duel is of great significance to the entire Erathia Civil War.

Of course, first of all, it is necessary to report to Queen Catherine, and filing with the Ministry of War is a necessary procedure, but it will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside, presumably even if Catherine has an opinion, she can only be willful!

Using the technique of returning to the city, Sieg and his party of more than 100 people returned to Bavaria. After that, Higg, Blue Fairy, and Mevo hurried back to the Marshal's Palace, and as soon as they entered the palace gate, they heard the guards report: "Lord Marshal, Prince Benjamin and General Simak just returned to the city yesterday, and when they came to the palace and did not see Lord Marshal, let me inform Lord Marshal when I see Lord Marshal, and meet them at the appropriate time!" ”

Higg was stunned for a moment, and then said with a laugh: "Just about to take a nap, someone sent a pillow, hahaha!" You immediately send someone to inform them immediately, Ben Shuai is back, and they can come to me at any time! ”

"Yes, Marshal!" The guard saluted in reply and turned to leave.

"Blue Fairy, did you count that Simak and Benjamin have returned?" Higg asked, confused.

"Their opponent Curdes is no longer in the Pamela Mountains, is it interesting for them to stay there?" Lan Xian'er smiled, "That kind of ghost place, who wants to stay there longer?" ”。

Higg was even more puzzled: "So you still calculated that SMS will bring back more than 10,000 elites of the Chinese Guards Battalion, and then run in with the existing 20,000 recruits to form an army of 32,000 to fight against Curdes?" ”

"Actually, the number of troops used in this formation needs to meet the number of eight or eight, and the best number of combat troops is 6,400 or 64,000!" Lan Xian'er nodded and said, "It's just that the scale of the duel of six thousand four hundred people is too small and the influence is not great, so the victory or defeat is meaningless!" There are too many for us to take, and even if we can draw so many troops, it will increase the difficulty of arranging our troops in a short period of time. Therefore, there is no need to transfer other defenders, the existing strength can meet our requirements, and we can complete the formation drill in two months, 32,000 people, no more, no less, hehe! ”

Maevo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turns out that Mrs. has already made this matter in her mind, and the stakes are very high, so I am still worried about death along the way!" But I don't understand something, why didn't Madame let the existing 20,000 recruits go to General Corincha's fortress of Ovara to change the defense, drop some elites and come back to practice, and then participate in the decisive battle, and use some inexperienced recruits? ”

Higg also looked at Blue Fairy with the same puzzled look, equally expecting an answer.

Lan Xian'er said with a smile: "Veterans have veterans good and bad, recruits have recruits good and bad!" To put it simply, first, we are fighting the opponent's attack in formation, and it is especially important to maintain the queue formation, the veterans are all old fritters, and they have formed their own fighting habits over the years, and it is not easy to make changes, and most of the veterans are difficult to command, let them practice this mechanized formation, I am afraid that you may not be able to practice it in a year; On the contrary, recruits have a blank sheet of paper, and they will do whatever you ask them to do, making it easier to understand and accept the formation and practice quickly. Second, although the training and mastery of the formation type of recruits is faster than that of veterans, after all, the combat effectiveness is too weak, so it is naturally much easier to let the veteran add the middle, and the old will not be affected too much! ”

"It's really wonderful to have recruits who are easy to accept the formation as skeletons, and veterans with rich combat experience as flesh and blood, complementing each other!" Higg laughed, "I'd love to open your brain and see what's inside!" ”

"Third, the newborn calves of the recruits are not afraid of tigers, and the elite veterans of SMS have an absolute psychological advantage over the defeated general of the Curdes, and the morale of this army composed of new and old is not a problem at all!" Blue Fairy continued.

"But, ma'am, why is your commander me?" Mevo said ungroundedly.

"You are a young officer raised by Marshal Higg from Fuxing City, our cronies!" Lan Xian'er said, "Let you command the army for the sake of your future, second, other generals may not have the courage to accept it, and third, among those recruits, you and Siscori are both training officers, and you have had a tacit understanding with them for a while!" Another point, also from the marshal's point of view, the victory of this decisive battle is immeasurable for the prestige of the marshal in the Fifth Army Corps, and the consolidation of his position in the army, and at the same time, no one will look down on you young officers who have just graduated from the military academy! ”

"If Madame said so, the last general will bow down!" Maevo bowed, and then continued: "It's just that 12,000 veteran oils, the last general is really a headache, with the qualifications of the last general, how can he command those people?" Please also ask the marshal and his wife to give me another way! ”

"Hahaha!" Higg laughed, "Didn't I tell my guards to get you helpers......

"Lord Marshal, Prince Benjamin and General Simak are here!" The guards hurriedly came in and reported.

"What do you report and don't let them in?" Higg said loudly.

Before he finished speaking, he saw Benjamin pull the extremely reluctant SMAK into the lobby, and said angrily as he walked: "General SMS, what nonsense are you talking about, I have to report it first when I see my own nephew?" ”

Seeing the two of them, Higg immediately got up to meet them and laughed: "Who said to report? You two can come here at any time! ”

Simak saluted awkwardly: "Lord Marshal, this is not conducive to your establishment of majesty in the army, and some procedures still have to be followed!" ”

Benjamin laughed: "You people just have too many things to do, too much to pay attention to!" ”

Lan Xian'er stepped forward and saluted and smiled: "Others come according to the rules, but one is my own uncle, and the other is my best friend. ”

"Look, it's still my niece and wife who can talk!" Benjamin laughed.

Higg looked at the two decorated generals, and a feeling of reunion after a long absence came to his heart, as did Benjamin and Simmak.

"Bring the tea down and set up a banquet immediately!" Higg said to the maid who was serving tea.

The maid opened her mouth wide in start, and she didn't know what to do.

"In the future, the two of them will come to me, just serve wine, no tea!" Higg said solemnly, "What is the etiquette break? It's a sight to behold! ”

"It's better than this!" Lan Xian'er smiled, "It's rare for everyone to meet again after a long absence, you guys will drink and chat first, and I'll personally go buy a few appetizers!" ”

"Good!" Benjamin said unceremoniously to Lan Xian'er, "Lan Xian'er, Uncle Ben wants to drink Baixian Fruit Wine today, you have to take care of it!" ”

Lan Xian'er smiled and said, "Uncle said he was laughing! Keep your uncle to drink it, and pack the rest for your uncle, hehe! After speaking, he shook his right hand, and dozens of jars of Baixian fruit wine were placed on the dining table, and then turned around and went to cook.

Before the wine jar was opened, it was already full of fragrance.

Mevo saluted and said to Higg and the others: "Marshal, two lords, the last general will take his leave first!" ”

"What are you going to do?" Higg wondered, "You want me to help you, now that the person who helped you is here, you want to escape, how can it be so cheap, no, today you are the protagonist!" ”

"Ahh

Higg introduced Simak and Benjamin: "This is the young officer who came from Fuxing City with me, Mevo, you can see it!" ”

"Tut-tut!" Simak immediately looked at Maevo with a surprised gaze, then gave a thumbs up and said, "So you are the kid who threw the prime minister downstairs?" Balls! ”

"What's the?" Benjamin sat down at the table very unhappily, "Are you still allowed to sit down?" What a lot of etiquette and nonsense on your people! After speaking, he opened a wine jar and poured it directly to his mouth without using a glass.

Higg also sat casually, and Simak was also very happy to pull Mevo into the seat!

Opening a wine jar, Higg said to Benjamin and Simaks, "You two have made great achievements in the Pamela Mountains, and I will honor you two and one altar!" After speaking, he raised the jar and was about to start drinking, but he saw Benjamin coughing on the other side, and a smell of wine wafted over, and Higg hurriedly blocked it with his sleeve, and all the wine that Benjamin sprayed spilled on Higg's sleeve.

Maevo was about to get up and wipe Higg, but Higg smiled and waved his hand to stop him.

"Are you embarrassed to talk about our military exploits?" Benjamin said angrily, "You ask Simak, we worked hard to defend and kill the enemy in the Pamela Mountains, and it took more than half a year to wipe out tens of thousands of people, but you defused the winter offensive in Ovara Fortress half a year ago, and defeated more than 100,000 troops and killed countless people in just one battle!" What's even more infuriating is that as soon as we returned, we heard that you had just defused the summer offensive of the Arad coalition army against the fortress of Giscol, and it was another battle, and more than 100,000 people were defeated by you, killing countless people! I don't care, but do you know that General Simak almost fainted when he heard this! ”

Higg looked at Benjamin embarrassedly, then at the angry Simak, and said with a smile: "This is all the credit of the whole army, how can it be counted on me alone?" ”

"You drink the celebration wine yourself, we won't accompany you!" Simak said indignantly, and then really ignored Higg anymore, and drank with Benjamin and Maevo, leaving Higg with an embarrassed face, holding this wine jar in the air, not drinking, not drinking......

The unscrupulous ridicule of several people made the originally nervous Maevo relax a lot, and he began to occasionally interject a sentence or two when several people were chatting, or mention his own opinions.
