Chapter 69: Ending War with War (3)
"Bastard! Waste!
In a large, richly decorated tent, three men are arguing about something.
One of the men, in his early thirties, had a stack of reports in his hand, gasping for air, and slapping the edge of the table with the stack of reports.
He was richly dressed and handsome, but his face was a hideous look, his features twisted together with extreme anger and fear, and his messy blonde hair made him look a little embarrassed.
He tugged at his collar, revealing his angry engorged neck, and took in a large breath of air, which calmed down slightly.
He picked up the stack of reports again and skimmed through the contents. However, before he could look twice, anger welled up again, and he slammed the report to the ground again.
"Stupid donkey!"
The other person in the big tent was a little impatient, and said: "Babanic, don't abuse your temper, this is the council, even if you are the boss, this should not be the place where you dump your emotional garbage." ”
Babbanich turned his head sharply and roared, "That's because you're not the boss, Perez!"
Babanik kicked the report on the ground, picked up the baton and rummaged through the pile of papers: "In one night, the middle and low-level officers of the fourteen barracks were killed, the camps were burned, and the deployment of the entire army was destroyed by a small half!
There is a reason for Babanic's anger.
Under a series of coincidences and miscalculations, the three members of the adventure group burned down the camp all the way, leaving the same string of handwriting.
This is undoubtedly a serious provocation against Babanic.
But this anger is not helpful, and the priority now is to find a countermeasure. Under the infection of Babanic, Perez also felt irritable, he looked at the third person in the big tent and said: "Massag, don't gloat there, if this march fails, even you and I in the Sanctuary will not be too uncomfortable." ”
Massag, who was sitting on the side, glanced up at Perez and said casually: "It's Babanik who should do things now, and the way things are going now has nothing to do with my attitude." ”
Perez also knows that what Massag said is the truth, but Babanik is so young, irritable, and can't control his emotions, but he can sit in the position of the commander of an army, there must be someone behind him, although Perez is a powerful holy domain, but he still can't completely avoid vulgarity for secular rights, and he can't directly offend this commander, so he has to use Massag to vaguely remind Babanic.
"Babanic. Perez shouted again.
Perez deliberately reminded him that Barbanic had finally broken away from his anger and stood in front of the tactical board.
Babanic tapped the tactical board and said, "The situation is very bad right now, first Brisco and Sky Thorn lost contact a week ago, which led to the complete abortive of our offensive plan. And last night, our troops in three directions were dealt a catastrophic blow, fourteen barracks were paralyzed, the defensive line was disorganized, and worst of all, we don't know if this thing, called the Dragon Expedition, will continue..."
"Commander!
Before Babanic could finish speaking, a herald rushed in, holding a wax-sealed letter.
Babanic's mood that had just calmed down suddenly became bad again, he snatched the letter from his hand, and said coldly: "What kind of emergency can there be, and which military camp is paralyzed." ”
With a slight force in his hand, the cover of the letter was rubbed open, and the letter inside fell out.
After a quick glance, Babanik snorted coldly: "This expeditionary group has not wasted any time, and the seventeenth military camp on the eastern front is paralyzed. ”
With that, Babanik added that information to the tactical board again.
Priez stared at the battle-torn tactical board and proposed, "Judging by the time the various camps have been attacked, this expeditionary group still has room to spare. Now that the enemy situation is unknown, the most important thing we should do is to stop losses. ”
Babanic nodded, and gave an order to the herald: "Order all military camps, and immediately return to the base camp after receiving the order, and if there are doubts, dismiss him on the spot." ”
This is a sensible thing to do.
A team without a commander is at best a group of stronger militias, and discipline and unity are the foundation of a strong army.
If the marquis's army sensed this and fought back decisively, none of the three or four thousand soldiers would have escaped, so it was imperative to recall these soldiers and set them up with a new commander.
"Now that the problem of the army is temporarily solved, then here are these three bed bugs. Babanic slammed down on the tactical board.
"Look at their route, it's obvious that they're going straight to the base camp! these arrogant, I don't know where to get out!" Babanik drew three solid lines on the map, and three more dotted lines along the three solid lines.
The route of the adventuring group clearly presents a straight line and two arcs, and such a swaggering route is to put pressure on the command staff of the army to declare their own force.
"Perez, Massag, you follow the dotted line of east and west. Babanic glanced at the map twice, and decisively dispatched the only two Sanctuaries in his hand.
Perez was taken aback and said, "The two of us, is this necessary? Don't you have a lot of special forces under your hands, and now that the situation is tense, I think it would be better for the two of us to deal with the Sanctuary on the side of the Marquis of Jinshafeng." ”
"Very necessary. Babanic slammed his head on the tactical board and said, "These three people must be Sanctuary!"
Perez was taken aback and asked, "It's all Sanctuary! Are you sure? We've never heard of this expedition!"
"Definitely that's right, in the battle report, these three people and horses fought for no more than a quarter of an hour each time, either the destruction area was amazing, or the action was unpredictable, and maintaining such a breakthrough speed overnight was impossible to do without the strength of the Holy Domain. ”
"Good. Perez nodded.
Although Babanik relied on nepotism a little, he still had real talent and learning, otherwise even if he had a backer behind him, he would not be able to stand out from the constraints of various factions in the church and master a large army, so Perez and Massag chose to believe him.
Before leaving the big tent, Babanik gave two more talismans to the two of them, and two special troops could be called in for insurance.
Sending the two away, Babanic stood in front of the tactical board again, staring at the solid line that was rushing in the middle.
Half an hour later, another herald arrived.
Babanic opened the envelope, picked up a paintbrush, and pressed the solid line in the middle along the dotted line to the position of the two barracks.
Judging from the dotted line, after three more barracks, the dotted line in the middle will reach the central barracks.
Babanik suddenly muttered to himself: "Every hour that passes, the middle route breaks through a barracks, but because of the lack of command, it takes half an hour for the soldiers to deliver the message. Although the herald was three times faster than the one on this route, the second barracks had already been damaged on the way because they had to cover the entire distance. ”
"Now I have received the news that the third-to-last barracks have been destroyed, but the report of the fourth-to-last barracks has not yet arrived, which means that they have picked up their speed. If you count the time difference in the soldier's report, the people on this route should have arrived at me by now. After completing the red line in the center, Babanik said to the outside of the tent:
"You're right, little rat of the expedition?"
There was silence in the tent for a while, and the curtain was suddenly lifted from the outside, and Isenus and Omoni slowly walked in from the outside.
"I didn't expect you to have the skills to command an army, Babanic. Isenas said coldly.
Unexpectedly being called by his name, Babanic was stunned for a moment, looked at Esenus carefully, and then grinned: "It turned out to be you, the head of the Golden Fleece, why, did you pull up a team of people for that ethereal legend?"
The conversation between the two made Omoni feel a little inexplicable, and asked, "Do you two know each other?"
"Yes, but the relationship is not very friendly. ”
"Esenas?" Babanik repeated, then laughed, "I didn't expect you to change your name, Iason." Why, are you afraid of being questioned by your teammates' ghosts?"
Isenus didn't answer, but silently closed his eyes and said: "I originally planned to come to warn the commander of this army, but I didn't expect to meet you, then my plan had to be changed, and your harm is far greater than the loss of the army's restraint." ”
"Listen, you mean to kill me?" Barbanik scoffed. "Have you forgotten that if it weren't for the sacrifices of your teammates, you wouldn't even be qualified to stand here and talk to me. ”
"That's because I believed in them too much, and I wouldn't make that mistake now. Isenus opened his eyes, and with a flick of his fingers behind his back, the two wooden spikes on the doordoor broke away from the frame and shot at Babanic.
Babanik stood there without moving, and the two wooden spikes deviated from their trajectory on their own and hit the tactical board, and the two wooden spikes were nailed to the left and right red dotted lines.
"You've actually arrived at the Sanctuary, you've worked hard. Babanic smirked and said, "Could it be that the flesh and blood of your teammates made you eat and drink enough, and then enlightened?"
"So to speak. Isenas remained calm, not disturbed by Babanic's words, but carefully observed Babanik's movements.
Babanik spat on the ground and said, "Coward." ”
Hearing Babanico's words, Esenas finally had some emotional ups and downs, his pupils shrank slightly, and he pulled out the dragon sword on his waist and aimed it at Babanic: "Omoni, take care of the army outside for me, don't disturb my battle." ”
"No problem. Omoni didn't ask the inside story and opened his mouth to take the task.
Omony's unconditional trust made Isenus look back at him a little strangely.
But this is not the time to dwell on this, and in the temptation just now, Isenas saw that Babanic's current strength is not inferior to him, and even surpasses, and only by going all out can he have a chance to defeat this enemy.
Babanic lifted a big axe that didn't match his body shape at all, slammed it on the ground, and said with a sneer: "It was a big pity to let you, the regiment commander, run away back then, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to cut off the heads of two regiment commanders now." ”
The corners of Isennas's mouth curled up slightly, and he said something that Babanik didn't expect: "The leader of this adventure group is not me." ”
P.s Iason, Easun. The Esenas is converted from the English variant of Iason, Jason, to EASONAX.
