Leo's subtext is obvious, and Bedounat can hear it too.

Just as Bedounath was about to dig into the relationship between the two further, the voice of a herald came from outside the door.

"Commander Montero, two dukes are about to visit the front line, and I hope you can prepare early. ”

Although Bedounath was a little unhappy that the conversation had been interrupted, his duties as commander forced him to put aside the news about Nana and go to meet the two dukes.

He was not the only one who was punished for neglecting the two dukes, and his army had to be deducted from military expenses.

After all, who knows what these big names think?

He tidied up his appearance, packed his clothes, and buttoned his military hat to his head.

"This is my token, and although you don't plan to change places, this thing can still make you feel better. Especially Nana. ”

"Thank you. ”

"Don't thank me yet, I'll take the time to see Nana in a few days, if I can see what Nana has suffered..."

Bedounat put on his coat and didn't say the rest of the words, just gave Leo a sharp look.

"Got it. Leo waved his hand. "Come on, you're as verbose as the village patrol. ”

Bedounat snorted dissatisfiedly and left his tent.

Leo left the barracks under the supervision of the heralds.

But as soon as he turned around, he disappeared from the herald's view.

Two dukes!

At this time, he inspected the joint military camp of the Viscount Baron, which was important cannon fodder, and he did not believe that it was just a simple inspection activity. It is more likely to come and check the degree of run-in of this motley army in order to determine a strategic plan.

It is also possible to expect a wave of pre-war mobilization to gain greater combat effectiveness from this ragtag army.

On the front lines, this was extremely important information, and Leo could not afford to miss it anyway.

Under the temptation of Leo's 19-level vindictiveness, Bedounat's 17-level career level was exposed. Although he is strong enough, it is far from enough to move freely on the battlefield, and if there is a real fight, Leo has to consider infiltrating the battlefield to ensure his safety.

Without Nana, Bedounat would go crazy. Without Bedounat, Nana would have gone crazy too.

With the help of perspective perception, Leo skillfully avoided the sentry all the way and lurked in the main square for training.

On the high platform of the square, there are two big men wearing crimson velvet coats and flower-shaped tiaras.

Behind them, a dense crowd of servants busily prepared objects such as tables, crowns, and platforms.

Leo turned off his Sanctuary ability, shielded his aura, and leaned closer.

As mentioned earlier, every duke has legendary strength. After truly seeing the strength of the legend, Leo was no longer arrogant, and honestly collected information in a passive way.

“... This army is already up to the task. On the finger of the duke's right hand, a silver broad-faced ring was placed on it. A verdant four-leaf clover is printed on the broad surface, and I think this is the four-leaf clover duke of the four dukes.

"Although I can obey orders, the quality of the army itself is still not enough, and the average level of fighting spirit is only level four, and even cannon fodder is a little worse. The duke had his back to Leo, and a silver ratskin sliver was wrapped around his neck, making him look more noble than the four-leaf clover duke next to him.

Leo vaguely felt that this back was somewhat familiar.

"It's not a big problem, I heard that the main force of the Sky Church was wiped out half a year ago, and the current army is just farmers who were temporarily pulled out of the fields, not to mention the level of vindictiveness, it is already thankful that they can use the basic phalanx. ”

"Don't underestimate the cohesion of the faith, when necessary, the fighting spirit of these peasants is stronger than our elite soldiers. ”

"It makes sense. Duke Clover nodded, beckoning Bedounat, who was waiting.

"Viscount Montero. ”

"I'm here, sir. ”

"How many battle formations can this army use now?"

"Basic phalanx, anti-shield formation, double oblique offensive formation. ”

"Have you learned the twin oblique attack formation?" said Duke Clover, surprised.

The slash array is an insurmountable peak in the art of war, and now in all the mainstream formations, the figure of the slash array can be seen, or in other words, all the formations are evolved from the slash array.

Although the double oblique offensive formation is only a pseudo-diagonal formation improved by the phalanx, as long as it can be used, this army is not a miscellaneous army that can be discarded at will.

"Well, it's time to change our tactics. ”

Duke Clover pondered, and the other duke took over the topic: "It seems that you really value these subordinates of yours. ”

Bedounat raised his head and said, "Since the two adults also feel that they are not cannon fodder that can be consumed at will, then please give them their rightful status." ”

The mysterious duke nodded and said, "Well, since you have done what you promised, I will naturally not break my promise, and I will focus more on this army of yours." ”

After saying that, the mysterious duke shook his head again: "But what's the point of doing this, your territory has not been officially received, and these soldiers are not your army, so you don't have to put in so much effort at all." ”

"There are some things that can't be measured just by looking at the benefits. They entrusted me with their lives, and naturally I could not remain indifferent, it was the duty of a commander. ”

"Good. The Duke took off his gloves and came to the stage. "Since you have such courage, then after the end of this war, I am willing to enter into an offensive and defensive alliance with you on behalf of the Frederick family, Count Montero. Now, I'm bringing you a small gift for your army. ”

The Duke turned, revealing a face similar to Leo's.

This man was none other than Archduke Oster Frederick.

"Fellow citizens. ”

Archduke Frederick was vindictive, and his voice spread throughout the square.

"I know that this war is not what you want and expect. This war is another plundering of our homeland by the unscrupulous Church of the free nation. In this war, we are undoubtedly just. ”

"You are here today for three reasons: first, you are here to protect your hometown and relatives, second, you are here for honor, and third, you are here because you are truly brave people. ”

"Death is the destination of all people, and everyone does not want to get close to this end too soon. But you still came without hesitation, and it is the splendor of humanity that shines through your noble personality and selfless dedication, for which I pay you my highest respect. ”

"Not all heroes are what the legend says. Every soldier in the army plays an important role. Don't think your task is insignificant. Everyone has their own tasks, and they must do it well. Everyone is an indispensable link in a long chain. You can imagine what would have happened if every logistical soldier suddenly decided that he no longer wanted to endure the threat of the elusive Ann assassination force, and became timid, jumped out of the wagon, and fell headlong into the ditch by the side of the road to hide. This cowardly dog mongrel can make excuses for himself: "Fuck it, the sun doesn't rise on me, I'm only one in a million." "But what if everybody thinks like that? What will we do then? What will our relatives and the whole world look like? No, his grandmother's, the soldiers of the Free Nation don't think like that. Everyone should complete his task. Everyone should be collectively responsible. Every division, every combat squad, is important for the grand chapter of the entire war"

"There must be sacrifices in war, and everyone loses their brothers, or faces the chase of death. Some of you may be on the battlefield for the first time, and some of you are fighting for the second time, but whoever you are, this is the first time you have experienced such a large-scale war, even if it is me. You can be afraid, but don't be afraid all the time, and if someone says they've never been afraid, that's lying. Some were cowardly, but the ice prevented them from fighting valiantly, for they would be ashamed of themselves if other cowardly teammates fought there and they stood idly by. The real hero is a man who fights bravely even if he is timid. Some people may take a minute to overcome fear, some people take an hour, and some people may take a few days. However, those who truly care about their hometown and honor will not let the fear of death overcome their love for their hometown. Fighting is an explosion of manly effort and guts. The battle will force out the great, and the small will be eliminated. You may be criticized by your fellow villagers in your hometown, but as long as the war is over, everyone will cheer for you!"

"Every soldier present may have heard of Northton, that blood-stained village, where countless living beings have been sacrificed to summon monsters in the darkness, and this is why we stand here today in bloody battles, for every innocent life sacrificed, for every life that has become a conspiracy in the darkness, for a life that cannot dance passionately again in life. ”

"We are the righteous soldiers, we are fearless people who defy their bullshit destiny, we are fighting for our lives!"

"Let's unite and defend our homeland. ”

"The conspiracy of the Church will be crushed, and the kingdom of the free will be victorious!"

With powerful gestures and passionate words, Grand Duke Frederick stirred up the fighting spirit of all the soldiers.

Mixing money with faith will make faith dirty, but mixing faith with money will also make money noble.

In such a way, Archduke Frederick blurred the boundaries between the nobility and the commoners, finding a seemingly good, high-sounding excuse for all as a way to neutralize the superiority of the faith of the Church.

Leo silently stared at his impassioned father from the audience, and his perception of his personality became blurred again.

What kind of feelings does this mysterious, indifferent, but capable of inciting the emotions of all soldiers have for Eliza?
