"Together with the army that Viscount Jados arrived in five days, the so-called New Southern Army is only 10,000 men at most, plus the military strength we gathered before, regardless of quality... There were almost seventy thousand soldiers. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Vittorio looked at a sheet of paper full of numbers, which recorded the various aids of the nobles in the south of the Duchy of Magini, and there were very few nobles who were willing to come in person, and even sent troops. Most of the cities have given military rations or salaries, but this cannot be blamed on these nobles, after all, the original southern army has been completely disintegrated, and most of the southern nobles in the prime of life have died at the hands of mercenaries disguised as merchants. The heirs to the title are either brothers or children, and their abilities are far inferior to those of the previous nobles, and so is their courage.

Feder stood on a high place and looked at the barracks, "Autumn has arrived, and the military rations are sufficient, if what Levier said is true, then the current East Oguna Emperor ** should lack enough food." ”

Levier told Fidd, Jados and Herman yesterday that his "mercenary" men were already working. They targeted the emperor who harvested the grain, and secretly sabotaged it, so that the harvested grain decreased a lot. They also joined forces with the peasants to secretly hide the grain or burn it. It is rumored that Glencor has decided to transport more food and weapons from the mainland to the eastern part of the Duchy of Magini via the Transoconde, in order to prepare for a protracted war against the Duchy and the Winter Kingdom.

"Although winter is still far away, we also have to consider what may happen," Vittorio glanced at the paper list before putting it away, "If we can't make a quick decision, or if we can't defeat the emperor in the frontal battle, we may enter a stalemate and protracted war." After all, we want to retake those cities, and siege is always the most headache. ”

"When you lived at the Peace Grave Military Academy, did you also take a course on siege?"

"Of course, it was my least favorite class. To put it bluntly, a siege is a wrestling of wrists, and if there is no chance of sneaking up on the enemy's back, it can only depend on who is willing to pay and sacrifice more. ”

Fidel recalled yesterday's military meeting when Viscount Jados proposed a total of twelve cities to be included in the first batch, including the four cities in the southern region. These cities are large and small, and all of them are cities where the city lord voluntarily surrendered when the emperor invaded. Therefore, the city defense force of these cities is very perfect, and there are even some principality soldiers who are working hard to defend the city for the emperor.

Jados believes that these twelve cities, although not the closest ones, are the ones that must be taken first. He believed that now the Duchy of Magini and the nobility had lost confidence in the Duke of Yannis and doubted that the country could continue, so the chosen targets of attack must be those cities that voluntarily surrendered. As long as the hardest bones are gnawed first, the remaining occupied cities will be shaken, and domestic support will rise dramatically, which will facilitate the eventual recovery of all territories.

Contrary to Jados's thoughts, the leader of the civilian mercenary group wants to eat the easiest part first. He hinted that he had the ability to cause chaos in most of the cities, and that the Squadron would only need to send a small amount of cooperation to take those cities. However, this offensive must not be too fast, and it is necessary to press east step by step, recovering the occupied cities one by one.

Viscount Jados was the first to reject Revel's proposal, saying that time was of the essence. If the war progresses too slowly, the Duchy of Noo will completely take over the western part of the Duchy, and no one can guarantee that the Duke of Aldington will take the opportunity to send troops to invade. Even if some of the cities can be recovered at the same pace, the rear of the Duchy of Mageni has already become the territory of other people, and those nobles will not continue to wait and see.

One advocated a rapid march to gnaw the hard bones and attack several cities at once, while the other advocated slowing down and taking the weakest defended cities one by one. The two men did not give in to each other, they both believed that their strategy was correct, and Levier reminded Fidel in his words that he had something in his hand that Viscount Jados could not know, after all, Jados had shown his extreme hatred for the rebels. dudu1;

"Ayana, if you were me, which of the two of them would you choose?" In addition to Vittorio, Ayana also stood by Fid's side.

Ayana, who was called a second time before reacting, said, "I... I don't know, if you hunt wild animals, the key is to be fast, ruthless, and accurate, and accuracy is the most critical. If you can't hit your prey, you can't talk about anything. ”

Vittorio praised: "Captain Ayana is really insightful! Whether it's Jados's proposal or Liver's proposal, we should all aim for success in taking the city as the first goal." Fast or slow, thinking too much about other factors will only hinder where we want to be in the beginning. Vittorio was more inclined to Levier's proposal in yesterday's meeting, knowing that what Livier was talking about was not just talking.

"I don't know what you think yet. Fidel looked at Vittorio, who had not said a word in yesterday's military meeting, as did Lord Herman.

Vittorio thought for a moment and replied, "I think Robin should be found first, and his head should be sacrificed to Count Camhen." ”

"Robin, is that... Where is he now?"

"If my information is correct, then he should be in the belly of the Eastern Region, in the city of the Three Calves. As long as this traitor can be executed publicly, then I am sure that more forces will surely move closer to us, and the remaining forces of the Duchy of Magini are more than that. ”

Vittorio's thoughts are different from those of Jados, Robin plotted to kill the Count of Camhen and besieged the 50,000 regular troops of the Duchy of Magini, but the Eastern Oguna Empire quickly protected the traitors of the principality, so many of the principality's nobles, including Jados, could only grit their teeth. Although Duke Yannis doesn't understand anything, he also knows that Robin is a big bad, and Feder also promises to catch Robin when he meets Duke Yannis.

Fidel could see something different in Vittorio's eyes, the short merchant obviously had different feelings for Count Camhen, not only did he want to borrow Robin's execution to gain other powers, but he also wanted to avenge Count Camhen.

"The city of the Three Calves is surrounded by many occupied cities, and by the time our army approached there, Robin had already fled. If this person is to be brought back here, it may require covert operations. ”dudu2;

Vittorio nodded, "It's exactly as the captain said," he stole a glance at Fidel, "If Levier is willing to help, then we just need to send some people with strong martial arts, I don't know who can take on this heavy responsibility." ”

"Ayana, Patrick, and Vega all have what it takes to accomplish this kind of task..."

Ayana immediately interrupted on the side: "I don't plan to leave the head of the Mercenary Guardian Regiment, let Vega go, he has always wanted to kill some high-ranking people." ”

"Indeed, Commander, you are very important to the Principality of Magini right now, if anything goes wrong with you, Commander... However, I think this needs to be done by you, Commander!" Fidel noticed that Vittorio was looking at him, and the other party was not joking.

"Why me?"

"Captain Fidel, although it will be dangerous to go deep into the enemy's hinterland, this is also an opportunity," Vittorio said word by word, "If the commander can capture Robin with his own hands, then the people and nobles of the Duchy of Magini will obey you from the bottom of their hearts, and when the time comes, you will no longer need the influence of Miss Maevie during her lifetime, and you will be able to control more troops." Now the old subordinates of the Earl of Camhen have quite a whisper, and they want the nobles to command them instead of you, the commander of the regiment. ”

Feder understood what it meant to catch Robin with his own hands, "Three Calf City... Although there are not many defenders there, it will be very dangerous to successfully capture Robin and escape with his whole body. ”

"It's because it's not easy, that's why I hope that the head of the regiment can go out in person! Compared to Captain Patrick and Captain Vega, the head of the regiment is above them, if you can only choose a few people to go to the city of three calves, then the commander of the regiment you must be the first choice. ”

In fact, Fidel had been persuaded by Vittorio, and he also wanted to catch the traitor who had almost succeeded in his plot - a great victory that he had so longed for was imminent, but that man was betraying the entire barracks and bringing down the important pillar of the Count of Canham. If the mercenaries of Birrell and Orlando were the ones who had to fight, Robin was the one that Feld hated.

According to Vittorio's analysis, it will take less than six days to return to Sancal City, and it will happen that the New Southern Army will be assembled in five to eight days. At that time, Fed, who captured Robin and returned, will be able to exchange the life of this traitor for the prestige of the people, and the military operation of the 70,000-strong army will also be twice as effective with half the effort. dudu3;

After Fid told the rest of his companions about Vittorio's proposal, most of the captains disapproved of Fidel taking the risk himself. Among them, Selena was the most opposed, she thought that even if Fed's skills were good, it would still be too dangerous to capture that Robin alive, and the risk would only outweigh the losses.

However, as Vittorio analyzed, with accurate intelligence and the help of the rebel lurkers, the chances of catching Robin are not small.

"The regiment commander has to think clearly, it is the hinterland of the occupied area, once it is lost..."

"Don't say anything unlucky!, our leader's martial arts are so high, how could he miss?I'm afraid that killing Robin by mistake will make that traitor's death too easy!" Noor interrupted Franklin.

Vega's eager expression: "I'm looking forward to it, just like killing Gu Yu! This plan to pass through thousands of troops and horses and go straight to the heart of the enemy must be brought with me!"

While the captains were expressing their opinions, Lukka entered the tent, accompanied by Fenrir.

"Report to the regimental commander, we have successfully relieved the siege of the besieged city, and we have lost very few cavalry!" Lukka began to talk about his heroism as the others were attracted by the blood stains on his body.

Fenrir had a lot of blood on his face, and there was a light blood mark on his eyebrows. Selena immediately walked over quickly, and after asking, she learned that the emperor's ** general besieging the small city died under Fenrir's sword.

"I just heard that who's going to take the heart of an enemy straight away?" Fenrir raised his head slightly, "I did something similar just now, and sure enough, this is the only way to complete my mercenary mission as quickly as possible." ”
