Chapter 3: Heroes (2)

"Next, we have the floor to address the distinguished representative of the Academy, Major General of the Empire, Baron Bernard. ”

"Honorable Minister Williams, Dean Lead, my lords of the military department, teachers, students, as a cadet of the Royal Knight Academy, I am honored to be here today..." The auditorium did not erupt in applause, and many people, including Allen, listened enthusiastically.

"Thank you Senior Bernard for your wonderful speech, you know, Senior Bernard is busy with the military, and it is not easy to come back once, so we must cherish this opportunity, if you have any questions, you can take this opportunity to have a good exchange with Senior Bernard. After General Bernard had finished his speech, the academy teacher stood in front of the stage and continued to preside over the meeting. "Okay, this third-row student, what's your problem?"

"Senior Bernard, if... If a team of orc heavy infantry and a team of Imperial cavalry were pitted against each other, which side would have the upper hand. A student stood in the third row and asked, his voice trembling because he was a little nervous.

"That's a good question. General Bernard first smiled and affirmed the questioner," As we all know, orcs are born with a more powerful body than humans, if it is not for the cultivation of vindictive human beings in the fight against orcs is not an advantage, so if the human cavalry wants to defeat the orc heavy infantry, it must rely on tactics and cooperation, with good tactics and cooperation, then the more people, the greater the power of the human cavalry outbreak, and will have a greater advantage, so we must strengthen the study of tactics and personnel cooperation in the academy, which is important for everyone to command their own squads, brigades, and Even the Legion was of great help. ”

While Bernard was answering questions, Alan was taking quick notes with a small notebook. When Elvis saw this, he whispered in his ear: "If you want to know this, I can ask Robert to help you get a teaching material, which is more detailed, including how to arrange troops and how to train soldiers." ”

"Really, if you get the textbook, I'll give you the best roasted hare, how about it?" Alan was clearly interested in the Knight Academy's textbook.

"Of course it's true, your interests are really wide, but you're obviously better suited to be a roasted hare than to command an army. Elvis never forgot to tease Alan.

"Senior Bernard, as you just said, if the Emperor ** team has good tactics and coordination, then it can have an advantage in the process of fighting against the orcs, but the fact is that in the past ten years, we have been on the defensive in the battle against the orcs, and we rarely have a big victory, and why is this?" a knight cadet who was sitting in the middle stood up and asked.

"It's a complex issue and there are a lot of factors that affect it. Since the Battle of Togo three hundred years ago, after the defeat of the orcs, the orcs have also learned the lesson of blood, and in the later battles, the tactics of facing our cavalry head-on are rarely used, which is the first factor, of course, the orcs do not mind attacking our army head-on when they have the advantage of troops. The second factor is that the purpose of the orcs' current southern invasion is not to attack cities and plunder, but to rob food and property. In order to gain more, the orcs tend to disperse into many small units and act separately, making it difficult for us to concentrate our forces for centralized extermination. The third factor is that in the past ten years, the nomads of the Sunset Grassland have been brutally attacked by the orcs and gradually moved westward, so that the orcs can free up their hands to deal with us with all their might. Of course, as a soldier, these factors are not reasons for us to be ineffective in the fight against the orcs, and a soldier should have the courage to defeat more with less, and defeat the strong with the weak, even in the most difficult moments. General Bernard's words were categorical, and another round of applause was ushered in, and the students' enthusiasm for asking questions became even higher.

Next, some of the students asked many questions, and Bernard answered them all. Dean Leader signaled that the time was almost up, and the teacher who was presiding over the exchange stood up again and said, "Students, here is the last question. The student in the corner at the back, I saw you raise your hand for a long time, so it's up to you to ask the last question. ”

"Senior, folklore has it that the orc infantry with a sacrifice is invincible. I wonder if the senior has ever fought against the orc army with the sacrifice?How do you evaluate the role of the sacrifice?Do we humans have a way to deal with the orc sacrifice?" Alan finally waited for the opportunity to ask the question, so he asked three consecutive questions in one breath.

Bernard groaned slightly, as if pondering how to answer.

"The orc army with the sacrifice, although it can't be said to be invincible, but just like the human army with the priest, it is multiplied in strength, thinking back then, the battle of the hills of Togo, which decided the fate of the orcs, it is precisely because the paladin-Heywood Roland killed the orc sacrifice in the air with a vindictive spear in the army, which caused the balance of victory to quickly tilt in favor of the human alliance, otherwise the outcome of that battle is really difficult to say. Therefore, the orc army with sacrifice is completely different in terms of combat effectiveness and morale, I have encountered both sacrificial and non-sacrificial armies over the years, generally speaking, armies without sacrificial sacrifices rarely choose to attack the city, and the orc army that chooses to siege the city has sacrificial pressure formations, including last year's Battle of Valun Pass, orcs also rely on sacrificial sittings to dare to attack. The easiest way to deal with the orc army with the sacrifice is to kill it directly, just like the paladin chose back then, of course, although the sacrifice is not strong in individual combat, but they will generally hide in the center of the orc army, and if they want to break through the layers of defense of the orcs and kill the sacrifice, either they have the strength of the paladin to condense into a gun, or they are powerful monster knights, otherwise it is almost impossible. The second option is for a priest with the same auxiliary function as the sacrifice, but it is impossible to get the help of a priest for non-Divine Alliance countries outside the Papal States. The third method is a tactical assault, disrupting the deployment of the orcs' battle formation, so that the power of the sacrifice cannot be fully exerted. In the battle of Valen Pass, I took advantage of the darkness of dawn to lead the cavalry to break into the orc camp, and caught the orcs off guard. Therefore, a tactical assault and disrupting the deployment of the orc army formation is the best way for us to deal with the orc sacrifice at this stage, unless our own army can have the strength to compete with the orc sacrifice. ”

"So, Senior Bernard, do you think the magician can be a force for us to fight against orc sacrifices?" Alan asked again as soon as Bernard finished speaking. However, it caused an uproar among the students in the entire auditorium, and some people turned their eyes to it.

"This classmate's question is very good, although the number of human magicians is still very small, not enough to support the needs of the entire emperor ** team, but if necessary, I can indeed ask His Majesty to invite the court magicians to help the emperor ** team fight, but as a soldier, all I can rely on is strong strength and undefeated faith, and no matter how many sacrifices and priests I leave these are floating clouds. For more than 300 years since the founding of the empire, it has been able to remain invincible among several forces, and it is by virtue of this spirit. Without waiting for General Bernard to answer, Secretary Williams had already stepped forward to answer Allen's question on behalf of the general, and was greeted with thunderous applause from the cadets.

"Well, that's the end of today's meeting, and let's thank Secretary Williams and General Bernard again for coming. The presiding teacher concluded the meeting, and Secretary Williams and Dean Leader led the way down the steps, stepping on the red carpet while exchanging ideas, and General Bernard followed them and walked out together.

The students sitting in the auditorium all stood up, squeezed towards the middle aisle, stopped Bernard, and reached out to shake hands with the general, Elvis and the four stood up and wanted to turn around and leave, only to find that Alan jumped up from his seat and rushed directly to the crowd, and the four could only go out first, and then wait for Allen.

After nearly a quarter of an hour of desperate hand-to-hand combat, Alan finally shook Bernard's hand for the last time, although the general's palm was slightly rough, but the grip was wide and powerful, although the fingers were held by the general and hurt, but Alan was still excited and incoherent, and the words of admiration were like a surging river. "General, you are really a model for my generation, if there are more heroes like you, no matter how powerful the orc sacrifice is, it is just a few more medals on the chests of the soldiers. General, come on, I believe that you will become a hero admired by the whole world like Yuss I. ”

Bernard apparently had a good impression of the teenager, and he patted Alan on the shoulder with his other hand, but Alan was almost vomited blood.

"Young man, his physique is a little thinner, just join the academy, pay attention to practice martial arts well, if a knight does not have strong strength, it will be very dangerous to lead the army to charge. Young man, the idea of increasing the number of magicians in the army is very good, I heard that the magic academy formed by the great magicians is training magicians in batches, if there are enough magicians, maybe we can really study some techniques for magicians and the army to work together. ”

Bernard gave the young man who looked like a junior before waving goodbye to the younger brothers.
