Act 176 The so-called genius
Located under a slender glittering silver tree, among the fallen leaves, Yuta put away the communication crystal under everyone's expectant gaze, and several young people immediately asked, "How is it, Captain, what does the lord say?" β
The beautiful mercenary captain raised her long flaming red hair and smiled easily. "What else, my lord naturally agreed to my plan, these Cruz people are sneakily driving away the undead here, there must be nothing good, they haven't been cowering in Ovekhin for a day or two, maybe it has something to do with this secret, such a good opportunity, how could the lord let it go," her emerald green eyes teasingly looked at several of her subordinates: "What, how can my judgment be wrong, you still have something to learn, little hairy." β
"Yes, yes, the head of the regiment knows the lord best."
"But Captain, the Lord is much younger than you."
"What did you say?" Juta narrowed her eyes and asked in an unkind tone.
"Nothing...... Nothing, do you have any instructions from your lordship? Several young men hurriedly denied it.
Juta snorted from her nose angrily, and replied with a stern expression, "The task given to us by the lord is to hold these Cruz people back, and it is best not to let them pass through the Golden Needle Valley before evening. β
"Wow, this task is not simple, this is an army, how can a few of us hold them down?" The wizard among the young men immediately screamed exaggeratedly.
"But this is not an ordinary army, this army is actually only in the hands of a few, and the lowest-ranking skeleton soldiers have no wisdom and can only instinctively obey orders," the young knight known as Mel thought carefully and said, "So we just need to hold off the people who control these skeletons." β
"That's not easy, either." The young wizard shook his head and pointed out the problem: "That's also dozens of knights, all of them are strong in martial arts, except for the head of the regiment, who dares to say that it is no problem to challenge any of them alone, not to mention that there are more of them than us." Take a step back. Other people's commanders are not stupid, when have you ever seen a large army need to stop and wait for the scout team to finish fighting, as long as someone else dedicates a part of the people to drive us away, the army can still advance as usual. β
This made sense, and several of the other young knights nodded in agreement.
Yuta also frowned, the beautiful mercenary captain originally wanted to reveal her identity and lure the other party to expel her to delay time, but she only now realized that this plan seemed to be a bit loophole, and she thought about the problem too simply. The knights of the Cruz on the opposite side were not many, but they were several times more numerous, and it was perfectly possible to send a group of men and horses to drive them away.
"Otherwise," Mel's eyes lit up suddenly, and he waved his hand to let the others focus on him, "We can scare each other." β
With a sneering look on his face, the young wizard shook his head and said, "Scared? Mel, I can forgive you for your ignorance for not systematically learning about wizards, but you need to know. This kind of mindless low-level undead is immune to fear. β
"Shut up!" Juta couldn't bear it anymore for his former subordinate, and reached out angrily and hit him on the back of the head: "Mel is a mountain man from Viero. He knows a lot more about the undead than you do, listen to what he has to say. β
Mel looked at the young wizard who was holding his head and looking at him innocently and smiled kindly, before continuing to reply, "Actually, Kru is right, if this army is the undead of Madara, it will be difficult for us to scare them, but now it is the Cruz people who are controlling them-"
"I see," replied the young wizard, "you want to scare those who control the skeletons." In that case, it is possible, but you should have explained it sooner......"
He wanted to continue, but Yuta glared at him fiercely, and reluctantly swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach.
Jutta looked back: "Mel." Tell me, what are your plans? β
Mel nodded, took a step back, picked up a few stones and put a simple map on the ground, he was a top student of the Royal Knight Academy, and this kind of thing was not difficult for him to make a temporary battle map, but in three times and five divided by two, a simple map of the Golden Needle Valley appeared in front of everyone, and several young people were stunned. Even Yuta couldn't help but touch the tip of her chin, and said with some envy: "Hey, I want to go to the Royal Knight Academy for further study, but I don't know if Her Royal Highness the princess will accept it." β
Mel smiled: "I remember that when I took the course of war history before, Marshal Raphael, a famous general of Cruz's generation, had a sentence, he said that there are two kinds of most acute hunters on the battlefield, one is a veteran of the battlefield who has experienced a hundred battles and has incomparably rich combat experience. It is not useful for someone who really has experience like the regiment commander. β
"Wow," the young wizard gave Mel an exaggerated thumbs up, "Mel, you're a really tall ass, but you probably didn't know that our captain's greatest experience was running away...... Oh no, it's a turn. Faced with Yuta's increasingly unkind look, Crewe hurriedly changed his words, and at the same time tried to change the subject: "Then again, what is the second type of person in the mouth of the marshal?" β
Yuta was about to do it, but when she heard this question, she couldn't help but be a little curious, she knew that she was not a military genius, and she only took the path of mercenary to make a living, so she decisively chose to settle down after meeting Brando. In fact, she sometimes couldn't bear to even want to have so much trouble with the fir lord, if it weren't for Brando's kindness to her, if it weren't for the lord's descendant of Daurus, she might have chosen to leave a long time ago, maybe it would be good to be an ordinary person, and it would be better if her sister was still there.
But the moment she put on the knight's uniform, Juta realized that she still had a little ambition in her heart, and among the people around Brando, except for the oldest group of veterans of the long war, she was the oldest among them, and even more so compared to the young people of the White Lion Guards later. Perhaps it was from these young people that she felt the vitality of her youth, and her heart settled again, and she willingly took the position that Brando had promised her.
However, she also understands that she has come to this point not more because of her ability, but because of the choice she made in Fir Castle at the beginning, and the lord is a soft-hearted and good person. But she can't shamelessly rely on the old and sell the old, but whenever there is an opportunity to learn, she can humbly ask. This is also the reason why she attaches so much importance to the opinion of Mel, a young man, Yuta is very aware of Brando's importance to the graduates of the Royal Knight Academy, Freya needless to say, among the graduates of this period, if there are any graduates who are willing to enter the Valhalla fleet and the White Lion Guard, Brando will try to give them the opportunity to show their strengths, although it is not mentioned on the surface, but it is like Mel becoming her Guard Knight. In fact, Antitina was secretly arranged by Brando.
You must know that she is now a high-ranking general by Brando's side, and the knights around her must choose trustworthy and reliable people. Moreover, Brando often lamented to these old people in private, saying that Toniger's popularity was still not high enough, and most of the graduates of the Royal Knight Academy chose to go to the old White Lion Legion in the north instead of going south to enter the White Lion Guard, which meant that it was quite a pity.
In fact, after getting along for a while, Yuta had to sigh that his lord was so discerning, and the few young people from the Royal Knights around him were all good. Although there were not many outstanding people like Mel, the rest were far better than the so-called outstanding noble children she had seen before. She's even a little confused at times. Why is her lord always one step ahead, she is not too late to follow Brando, and she knows very well that Brando has barely had time to get to know the graduates of the Royal Knight Academy before this, how did he know that there will be so many talents here?
Or is it true that the previous graduates of the Knight Academy are all heroes and heroes, but Yuta herself feels that this idea is a little unreliable. After all, if that were the case, Eruin wouldn't be what he is today.
Of course, this is actually the illusion of this beautiful mercenary group, in fact, even if Brando knows that the average level of the graduated non-commissioned officers and students of this generation in history is far higher than that of Tongji, but it has not yet reached the level of Cheng DΓΉ, who is all heroes and heroes. It's just that most of the non-commissioned officers who can choose to go south to join the White Lion Guards and even the Tonigel fleet at this time are brave and adventurous young people, and these people are more confident in themselves, so they can trust their own vision more than follow the crowd, so it is reasonable that the average level is higher.
Mel listened to Crewe's words, and with a look of yearning in his eyes, he replied: "The second kind of person is the so-called genius, as long as this kind of person stands on the battlefield, as if he was born for this stage, the so-called experience and laws are completely inapplicable to him, and his every move is like a madman in the conduct of a normal soldier, just like Geert, the king of fire, in the Knuco Hills with an infantry phalanx head-on attack on the Miner people's world-famous heavy cavalry, in exchange for anyone is self-defeating, But he was able to pull off a miracle in one fell swoop, not because he was favored by Lady Luck, but because of courage and genius for inspiration and smell, which are innate, and cannot be fathomed or imitatedβ"
"To put it simply, ordinary people can't learn it." The young wizard rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Almost," Mel was serious, "such a famous general is rare in a hundred years, and a genius like the King of Fire has not been seen since the Battle of the Sages-" At this point, he paused for a moment before plucking up the courage to say, "But I may see this potential in a person, he can always make the impossible possible, and this is one of the purposes of my coming to this place." β
"You mean Lord?" The young wizard almost didn't jump up, shook his head and said, "It's impossible, Lord Lord is very powerful, but that's in other aspects, in terms of fighting, I think Lady Medisa is much more powerful than him." β
Yuta also felt a little outrageous, she knew Brando better than these young men, and of course knew that her lord was also very good at commanding small-scale battles, of course, it was only with her eyes. But in large-scale wars, perhaps the lord's gaze is always very predictable, but compared to the Lord of Fire, it is really too far behind.
It was the most genius and amazing person born in the human race a thousand years ago, Geert's origin was the most ordinary among the four sages, but he had the highest achievements, and the strength of the other three sages among the four sages was only between the best, Elranta was slightly higher, but compared to Geert, the king of fire, it was still too far behind. After the wind, Saint Ossol is the most confident in his swordsmanship, but he also has to admit that Geert is a figure who cannot be surpassed by anyone in terms of swordsmanship talent for a thousand years, and in terms of military command, he even threw the other three sages out of a few streets, Elranta does not know how to command the battle at all, and Faenzan is not much different, although Saint Osor has the ability to command, but it is limited to this, in the vigorous war a thousand years ago, there are only two protagonists on the side of the people of Black Iron who really participate in and formulate the battle situation, One is Geert, the Lord of Fire, and one is a Silver Elf.
These two protagonists happen to perfectly interpret this sentence of Raphael.
Seeing the obvious disbelief on the faces of the others, Mel only smiled faintly, and did not refute, he had gotten along well with these companions and Yuta, the top boss, these days, and he didn't want to quarrel with his colleagues over such trivial matters, not to mention that they still had business at the moment.
Seeing Mel's expression, Yuta seemed to react, she shook her head and said, "I didn't expect you to be so optimistic about Lord Lord, it's okay, Mel, do a good job, I'll introduce you to him when I find time." β
"Really?"
"Nature." Yuta was very unhappy that her words were questioned: "But for now, let's talk about your plan." β
The young knight, however, did not seem to notice that the mercenary leader's pride had been hurt, and became a little excited, and pointed to the stones on the ground seriously.
