Border Defense.

The contradictions between the Duchy of Langton and the Duchy of Vata are becoming more and more intense, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that war is about to break out.

Even now, before the Grand Duke of the two sides gave the order to start the war, the friction was already very sharp.

The province of Daweipur under the command of Earl of Lembar is the province most closely connected to the Duchy of Watta in the Duchy of Langton, so after the war between the two countries, it was here that was hit the hardest.

Under the province of Daweipur, there were many viscounties and baronies bordering the Duchy of Vata, the longest of which was the mining city under the rule of Viscount Bright. If there is no accident, after the war starts, the vicinity of Mine Gold City will be one of the main battlefields, and no matter who is in favor of the outcome of the war, at least Viscount Brett will not have a satisfactory ending.

In addition to the main border areas, there are also some non-core border areas, in these places, although they will not suffer the most violent impact, but because the scale of the territory is not large, the underlying power is not strong, once targeted, it will even suffer a more dangerous situation than the mining gold city.

Diamond Town is one of them.

When there were signs of restlessness in the border line, the far-sighted Baron Lord Kells began to gradually increase the number of men in the border line, and until now, there were 500 guards stationed in the border line. Comparing Diamondtown and all the people under its rule, this is not a small number.

Just a few days ago, a battle broke out between the Diamond Guards and the Principality of Wata, which is almost more than 100 people in the border garrison, and if this continues, regular war may break out soon. In order to cope with this situation, the Supreme Commander of the Diamond Border Guard, the commander of the Diamond Border Guard, who was personally appointed by Baron Kells, proposed to Baron Kells to send additional personnel.

Kress and the other five captains of the guard thought that Lord Baron would increase the number of people in each team, but what they didn't expect was that the news came that it was a young boy named Willy, as the captain of the Diamond Six team, leading a hundred people to the front.

The news caught several of the top officials of the border line off guard by surprise and worried them.

They knew very well what this guy named Willy represented, he was not only invisibly dividing the forces of his own guards, but also the new forces represented by Bamos, the blade of confrontation that attacked their old forces.

This made everyone except for the commander Kress and the captain of the second Diamond team, Wilburn, very angry.

At this time, the border defense line of Diamond Town, the commander-in-chief battalion.

Three men in armor sat in the camp tents, each with a bad look on their faces.

A middle-aged man with a beard, sitting in a chair with his fingers tapping on the armrests, is Rickel, the captain of the Diamond First Team.

"Young Master Bamos is clearly going to let us old people get out! A teenager, how can he be on the same level as us, we have paid so much for Diamond Town to get to where we are now, that little guy named Willy, what is he!"

Rickel's tone was impulsive, and he made no secret of his anger.

"Be careful what you say. ”

A middle-aged man with a very sven appearance frowned, he didn't look like a guard chief, but more like a civil official: "Isn't it normal for a new person to replace an old man?

Wilburn, Captain of the Diamond II Team. He received an orthodox education from an early age and did not take power seriously.

Rickel was about to retort when the man sitting at the top stopped him from speaking with a wave of his hand.

This man was about fifty years old, with a majestic face and an extraordinary bearing, and he looked like he had been in a high position for a long time.

He is Kress, the head of the Diamond Border Line, and the commander of the Diamond Guard.

"Don't say it, everything is according to the will of the Baron, and I don't want to cause infighting when it is critical. ”

Kress glanced at Rickel with a warning in his eyes.

Because Willy was about to lead the Diamond Six to the border line, Kress specially called the remaining five captains for an impromptu meeting.

However, only Rickel and Wilburn were present, and the other three said that they would not come to participate on the grounds that the pressure on the border guards was too great to be separated.

Kress is well aware that the attitude of the other three is obvious, that is, they do not want to see the Diamond Six team brought by Willy.

Kress was helpless, but he didn't force them. Although he was nominally a commander, in reality, he only played the role of carrying out the baron's orders.

Kress and the rest of the captains, originally at the same level when they were in Diamond Town, were only appointed to the position of commander because of the friction of the war. They are not a special army system at all, so when he is in charge of the guards, Kress can only guarantee that the five guards can play their combat ability, and he can't control any more things.

"Anyway, the man is coming soon, and if you don't accept him, are you waiting to be held accountable by the Baron?"

Kress gave Rickel a cold look.

Wilburn also glanced at Rickle, seemingly disdainful. He was the only one of those who did not exclude Team Diamond Six.

"The Baron's will must be carried out, but this little fellow named Willy is here, and he can't let him eat rice. ”

Rickel suddenly changed his words.

Kress didn't answer, knowing that Rickel must have something deeper.

"Now the pressure on the border defense line is too great, especially the northwest border, which is often harassed by the enemy, since Willy is the elite handpicked by Young Master Bamos, then I think it is best for him to take over the border defense of the northwest border. ”

Rickel seemed to have prepared this rhetoric for a long time, with a mocking tone in his tone.

"It's ill-intentioned for you to put this kind of pressure on someone who's never been at the border before. ”

Wilburn directly retorted, in his opinion, once Willy reached the Northwest Frontier, then he would lose his men heavily due to his lack of experience, and even lose his own life. It's not that Wilburn looks down on Willy, it's because the border war relies more on experience than talent.

Willy is just a newcomer, it's too hard for him to do all this, and Rickel is just calculating him.

"Kress, it's not me alone, it's what I and the other three captains of the guard mean together, I hope you can think about it. ”

There was persecution in Rickel's tone.

"You're threatening me?"

Kress tapped lightly on the table, a coldness flashing in his eyes.

Although he can't be the absolute authority of the military, he won't be really provoked by others to majesty.

"I ......"

Rickel obviously didn't expect Kress to be so tough, and he also felt that he was a little reckless.

"I just think ......"

Rickel wanted to add something, but was directly interrupted by Kress.

"The Northwest Defense, he can go, but you also have to divide half of your forces and support them on the Northwest Defense. ”

Kress announced the decision directly.
