Chapter 313: It's a Big Deal! (4th Update)
In case of an accident on the road later, the paladin Joseph. Martin marched with 60,000 soldiers all the way, day and night, and it took only five days to return to the Mosalen Bridge.
As soon as he arrived at the bridge on the south bank of the Heishui River, he saw a group of elite light horsemen galloping out of the bridge, and the faces of every knight on horseback were extremely stern.
These knights rushed into the army, and without saying a word, they captured a dozen officers from the army, who were the backbone members of the elite of the principality who followed Zachro south that day.
There were thirteen of them, all of them high-ranking officers, and none of them were caught wrong, and after they were found out, they were dragged by the knights to the bridge deck of the Mosalen Bridge, and their heads were forcibly pressed against the guardrail on the side of the bridge deck.
Then Joseph. Martin saw a group of sturdy guards in newly made silver armor come out surrounded by the Crusader Marshal, and when they reached the bridge, they were scattered and stood on either side, and the marshal in snow-bear skin and sword at his waist came forward, his face covered with frost.
The scout had already sent the news back, and when he heard that Zacrow had disobeyed Joseph's order and led the elite south to intercept the undead army, and the elite had almost been lost, Rollin was so angry that he slapped the desk in the study to pieces.
He saw the wrong person, the second disciple of the Red Moon Sword Saint turned out to be such a confused person.
Beside the detained officers, the knife-wielding hands were already in place, Luo Lin did not give these officers any chance to defend, nor did he hesitate for a moment, waved his hand, thirteen long knives swung down, blood spurted out of his neck, and squirted into the Heishui River.
In his army, disobey military orders, for whatever reason. It's all slashing!
Blood like a fountain. The sky is full of blood. The headless corpse that was still twitching suddenly gave a huge spiritual shock to all the soldiers who saw this scene.
Even if it's the paladin Joseph. The corners of Martin's eyes twitched unconsciously, he didn't expect this Rollin, who usually spoke and acted gently, to be so decisive and ruthless.
Returning from the hurried march from the south, the exhausted warriors were silent, and only the cold wind on the Heishui River was still blowing.
Rollin looked around the audience and said, "Do you know why I want to execute them?" ”
His voice was not high, but it was extremely penetrating, and it spread throughout the army.
No one answered. The soldiers were struck by the first means given by their marshal, including the elite of the battle.
Luo Lin's eyes were cold, he raised his voice slightly, and then asked, "Do you know why?" ”
Still no one answered, and every fighter felt a huge psychological pressure. Their marshal is an invincible martial saint. The bloody madman was such a terrible demon, and he was killed by a few swords, who dared to reply under huge pressure?
Glewin, Yopney, Longo, Swain. The five generals of the army all lowered their heads and did not speak.
Especially the latter four, they followed Rollin all the way. Knowing his temper, he estimated in his heart that they would all be punished this time, and the reason was very simple, because the marshal said that the army is one, and there has never been anything wrong with me or wrong, and if there is a mistake, it is wrong together.
Joseph. Martin also hung his head, as the commander-in-chief, he couldn't get rid of it when such a thing happened. Rollin's actions were similar to slapping him in the face, but he knew he had to take it.
The courage to take on faults is his glory as a paladin!
On this side, seeing that the situation was almost over, Luo Lin slowed down his tone a little, and said in a deep voice: "It's because of the first military order of the Silver Crusaders: absolutely obey the commander's command!" Violators, kill! ”
Rollin didn't say anything long, because it was powerless to say more. Under great psychological pressure, saying the most important sentence will leave an extremely deep impression.
In the previous life on the earth, the mysterious point of saying was called the initiation seal. In the future, when these warriors think of confronting the commander, their minds will jump out of today's scene at the same time, and he will carefully consider whether it is worth doing this.
After speaking, Luo Lin said to the herald beside him, "Let the commanders all go to the meeting hall of the fortress." The rest of the warriors went to camp and rested. ”
Of course, these generals will also be punished, but Rollin will not do this in front of ordinary soldiers.
Of course, there are reasons for doing this, mainly to maintain the dignity and authority of the generals, especially authority!
Authority is largely generated by a sense of mystery.
Because ordinary soldiers do not understand the lives of generals, and when they see the powerful strength and martial skills of these commanders, they will naturally have associations similar to deification, and thus awe.
If Rollin pulls off the general's pants and spanks him in front of all the soldiers, then the general will lose face, and he will not want to lead the army to fight in the future, even if there is a military order, no one will obey him.
Back at the fort, Rollin sat quietly at the long table of the conference and waited.
After a while, Joseph. Martin, Yopuni and other six generals came over one after another.
Rollin waved his hand to the attendants in the hall: "You all go out!" ”
The attendants all left, leaving only Rollin and the others in the hall.
Without outsiders, the psychological pressure on the paladin Joseph was much less, and he stood up and said, "Marshal"
Luo Lin waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, you told me the specific situation in the letter." You're too soft-hearted to be a manager. It was my mistake. Things have come to this point where each of us is at fault. ”
After a pause, Rollin announced the punishment: "I am the boss, I am the boss, I am misemployed, and I will be punished with three years of military salary." Joseph, you will be punished for five years. Each of the five of you will be fined one year. ”
Joseph was speechless, which was similar to tickling: "Marshal, I"
Jopney and the others were also a little surprised, he thought he was going to face the marshal's thunderous rage.
Rollin sighed and asked, "What else can I do?" ”
These are just for the soldiers. At their point, who in this army can take their place with the force and prestige? This time it was not all without benefits, at least the differences in the army were all eliminated.
Ordinary officers, of course, Rollin said to kill them, because killing a few would not affect the combat strength of the army too much, but paladins like Joseph and big noble lords like Gleving, where can they be killed casually.
Because such a big knight and a big master are irreplaceable at all, killing them, the morale of the entire army will be greatly affected, and the combat power will be greatly reduced, so who will fight?
Although the military order is like a mountain, different people still have to be treated differently, which Luo Lin knows very well.
This time, even if Zacrow and other noble generals came back alive, he would only kill one Zacro at most, and the other four would only be cut off in rank.
It is estimated that this is also the reason why Zacrow has the courage to lead his troops south, and he just holds the idea of self-respect with his troops.
Rollin turned to the last noble general, Glewin: "There are still six thousand elites left in the principality, these people are rare warriors, and this time they also killed more than 10,000 undead and 3,000 demons, and they also have merit." Go and reward every warrior for meritorious deeds, according to the reward we have set in advance. ”
"Yes, Marshal." Glewin nodded.
"Six thousand people is no longer a complete organization. Let's all break up and join other legions. Rollin continued.
"Yes." Glevin could only nod his head, he knew that from now on, the Silver Crusader Lieutenant General would no longer have the word Duchy elite.
"Okay, that's the end of the matter, but this time we have to remember that the Silver Crusaders can't afford such a loss a second time!" Rollin's expression was heavy.
This time the losses are all the elites of a hundred battles, to be honest, when Luo Lin first heard the news, he almost felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, but he has a tough personality, and he has not been defeated.
I can't make up for the loss, so it's a big deal to start over!
Everyone also felt that the matter was strict, and nodded heavily.
Rollin continued, "This time we have lost all our elites, and the Dark Legion should get the news soon. I think that after the decisive battle in the Dragonbone Hills, if the Dark Legion still has the strength left, it will definitely pounce on us, and we must be prepared. ”
In a big war of this scale like the Dragonbone Hill, the role of conspiracy and tactics is already very limited, and it is a dignified decisive battle.
Even if one side loses, it is unlikely that it will be wiped out at one time, that is nearly a million people, one person occupies one square meter, scattered can spread over a radius of more than 30 kilometers of the ground, at most the losing side is scattered, repulsed, and then the victorious side continues to pursue, carrying out a war of annihilation.
This will last for quite some time.
In this decisive battle, if the Aoraki Kingdom is lucky enough to win, they are estimated to have little strength left to pursue the Dark Legion, then Rollin will have to prepare to fight against the remnants of the Dark Legion.
If they don't move to the west, of course they will come to the east to eat.
If the kingdom of the Aura family is defeated, the undead will fight to raise the war, and the more people are beaten, the more people are beaten, not to mention, Luo Lin will immediately organize the largest fleet in history and lead people to flee to the Starlight Continent. As for food, equipment, etc., if you can take it away, you can take it away, and if you can't take it away, you will destroy it directly.
Start over again on the opposite continent!
Therefore, how to go in the future depends on the results of the decisive battle of Keel Hill. As for giving up, Rollin never thought about it. (To be continued......)
