Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info didn't say anything all night, just like two beasts hiding in the shadows licking their wounds, whether it was Leo or the demon army, they were quietly recovering their strength and energy

The brutal battles of the day made even the lowest-ranking soldiers understand their situation, and when the once high-ranking knights were turned into consumables and squandered, the value of life had already become cheap and ridiculous at such a time......

In the spring of 1180 in the Imperial Calendar, it was an early morning that was no different from the usual, the early birds chirped happily on the trees that dotted the fields in the distance, and the crystal clear dew dripped down the blades of grass and moistened the land and ...... Try to calm the smell of blood that has been circling for a long time!

With the sound of the first melodious horn, the hundreds of thousands of troops from the human principality of Pande, as if the beast awakened from a dream, quickly began to prepare quickly, but methodically

You must know that even in the modern warfare of the earth, the time of the actual battle can often only occupy one-third of the time or even less, and in this era of still relying on cold weapons, it can be said that the adequacy of preparation before each battle can almost determine the tilt of the balance of victory and defeat

The sufficiency of food allowed the soldiers and civilians to work energetically, and the sturdy men from the northern territory did not pay attention to the slightly cold temperature of the imperial capital in the early morning, and simply fixed the worn linen vest with hemp rope, or directly began to carry various materials and military equipment with their naked and sturdy upper bodies

Bundles of spears and iron swords, which were tightly fastened by cowhides, were neatly piled up in the center of the camp after they were first distributed to the people, and crude leather armor, chain mail, chain mail, and plate armor accessories were carefully separated and sorted so that soldiers and knights could replace their broken equipment in the shortest possible time between battles

At the same time, the crossbows and arrows that were consumables were dragged out in large numbers by ox carts, and the value of gold coins worth these sharp little guys was already terrifying in terms of quantity alone, or except for Leo and Stormwind, few nobles could spare enough ordnance to bankrupt a noble duke's family in a war......

In addition to these, as the smoke of the cooking smoke fills the air, the smell of beans and meat mixed with beans and meat gradually spreads throughout the camp, and everywhere you can see the logistics soldiers in charge of cooking waving large wooden spoons that are tall and greet the soldiers with a thick satisfaction on their faces

In the face of the temptation of food in this era, Leo's men showed unimaginable discipline, no matter what the troops, even the barbarian warriors under Edward and Tedamir, they were all led by the squad officers to line up in a long line and quietly wait to receive their share of food

Of course, just as class can never disappear, knights and mid-rank officers will receive certain privileges, not only will they not have to wait in line, but they will also have more delicious food rations

The large number of dedicated servants can also alleviate the unnecessary waste of physical strength before the battle begins, these people can sit in chairs and dip soft white bread in honey, eat golden steaks, and occasionally sip expensive red wine and watch the servants wash their horses and prepare their weapons......

With a sigh of relief, Leo put down the pine glass in his hand and stretched out the tip of his tongue to lick the remaining foam at the corner of his mouth, to be honest, he still can't adapt to the red wine here after so many years in this era, but the refined ale with a refreshing taste and a bit of beer feeling has gradually become his favorite

A small amount of alcohol can keep a clear mind, but it is also a delicious drink and an important part of replenishing energy

Holding the silver fork with his right hand and subconsciously slowly stirring the slightly cool lamb chops on the plate, Leo was somewhat unsettled for a while, at his table, Finn and Anthony had already finished their breakfast, and were wiping the corners of their mouths with elegant napkins, and Keith was puffing out his cheeks and desperately fighting with the last crispy bone on the lamb chops

The crunching sound of "crunching" made Al Andrrestes, who was cutting food more aristocratic than nobles, couldn't help but frown deeply

After looking at it for a while, Leo was surprised to find that he didn't see any nervousness or uneasiness on the faces of any of his subordinates, not the peace of self-regulation to hide real emotions, but as if these people didn't take the coming cruel war to heart at all

Pursing his lips and smiling a little self-deprecatingly, Leo once thought that he had blended into this era......

Perhaps you are still far from it, whether it is disregarding your own life or someone else's ......

"Al, I still need your help in today's battle, as always, and I believe that no one here will do a better job than you when it comes to the battle of the Great Army!"

Hearing Leo's words, Al first elegantly put down the knife and fork in his hand, gently raised his hand, and wiped the corner of his mouth with a cloth slightly wiped the corners of his mouth that were not dirty at all, and then said with his forehead

"I am honored my lord, I am proud and grateful for your trust, yes, I believe that I can do what you want, you know that the source of demonic fear has never been theirs, otherwise they would not have to deliberately cause killing, in Pander I can lead the army to strangle them many times, then there would be no difference here!"

After a pause, Al hesitated before continuing

"Hmm...... However, I must remind you, Your Excellency, that you must be prepared for heavy casualties in the battles of today and in the future, and that any mercy and hesitation can be fatal in such a war, with all due respect...... Your mercy and virtue do not apply to this land destined to be stained with blood, but I am confident that under your leadership we will be victorious, and that you will be able to ...... with the power of this battle Officially crowned king! ”

After hearing Al Andergristes' almost rebellious words, Leo was surprised to find that none of the people under his command who heard this for the first time were stunned, as if this matter had already been tacitly acquiesced by everyone, but it was just the first time to make it clear, it was as simple as that!

After thinking about it, Leo still tried to restrain his complicated feelings and temporarily avoided the topic, he pointed to Edward and Tedamir, who were feasting not far away, their foreheads and upper body were bandaged

"El, my marshal, the Barbarian Force suffered a very large loss in yesterday's battle, and today would you consider letting them focus on defense and leave the task of attacking to other legions?"

"Not a good man, if you insist on doing this, I swear that I will break the hearts of those brave soldiers, do not ignore your dedication and generosity to them, and you must understand that this army was never built for defense!"

Nodding, Leo didn't say anything more, he understood what El wanted to express after what he didn't finish, no one in this fateful war is superfluous, perhaps in the eyes of this nobleman from the Pander Empire, as long as he can complete the set goal and win, no one except Leo is an existence that cannot be sacrificed, even himself......

"It's almost time, my lord, please allow us to retire for the time being, and we must make sure that all the knights are okay before the battle begins."

Holding down the corner of the table, Finn was the first to stand up, bowed slightly to Leo and strode away with Keith and Anthony after nodding in permission from the other party, Andrew's death, Kane's serious injury and disability all made the burden on his body heavier

Waving his hand to let the servant who was ready to help leave, Leo also stood up after Fern and the others left, his fists clenched on the table, and he looked fiercely at the camp on the demon side in the distance, and his eyes flashed with determination

"Then that's it, let's prepare to attack, and I'll let those demons shed their last drop of blood on this land!"
