Chapter 60: The Choice of the Future
Ron struggled to open his eyes, his head still filled with the dizziness of oversleeping.
"It's a little too ...... in this state now," Ron couldn't help but smile bitterly and did it as he propped up his body.
Now he was lying in a tent that was quite spacious, the tent was surrounded by army green hues, the tent curtain was constantly shaking in the whistling wind, and the sound of crackling water came from outside the tent, obviously the continuous heavy rain continued.
Even if he has just crossed into a state in another world, it will not be worse than now, his mouth is dry, his limbs are sore, and he doesn't even have the strength to simply support himself to sit up.
His memory is still retained when the Belu people broke through Yode Town, and he finally used two fireballs, and he didn't know anything about the rest of it.
"Brother Ron, are you awake?"
At this moment, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted, and a familiar figure appeared in Ron's sight.
"Good boy, you really brought reinforcements. β
A smile appeared on Ron's lips, he had passed out on the battlefield, and now he was lying in the tent used by the army, there was no doubt that Will had really brought reinforcements from the Duchy of Noah. I didn't expect that my gambling decision at the beginning has finally paid off.
"Haha, my luck is not bad, and the journey has been smooth, compared to you, big brother, I am nothing at all. Will shrugged slightly.
"Alright, everyone, don't be polite. Ron smiled slightly, although Will said it lightly, but he knew very well in his heart that Will was alone, in the terrain of the Great Plains, where there was almost no cover, and he had to avoid the enemy while advancing, coupled with the torrential rain some time ago, he suffered and suffered no less than him.
"The reinforcements this time are the Independent Brigades?" Ron said in a deep voice, "What about Merial and Miss Saiana?"
Will hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Captain Merial is resting in another tent, Miss Saiana is not doing very well, she doesn't talk to anyone else, it feels like a different person." β
Ron's mind suddenly came to the scene when they first arrived in Yod Town, when Saiana was still a strong woman who could command the city defense troops, and Blanton's death obviously dealt a big blow to Saiana.
"No, this time I'm here with the First Legion, our Noah's most elite unit. Will scratched his head, and then whispered, "Brother Ron, I don't think this time it's simple. β
"You mean, the position of our high-level?" Ron's brows lifted slightly: "I also think it's strange that they can even give up Hamp City, and now they will actually send the main force to support Yoder Town." You can tell me about what happened on your way, as well as the situation of encountering reinforcements. β
Will immediately left Yod Town, fought the Beru soldiers in the small village, and then found the large army, and explained it to Ron succinctly, and when he heard that Will was almost killed in the small village, Ron's expression also became solemn.
"The living force to destroy the enemy?" Ron frowned, "Are you sure, that's the answer?"
Will nodded: "It was the commander of the First Legion who brought me here this time who told me, and it was General Hilt who meant. β
"General Hilt?" Ron put his head next to Will's ear, "Isn't the Grand Duke the final say in the matter of the Principality of Noah?"
Will said in a low voice: "Big brother, our Grand Duke of Carlin is not feeling well now, and has been resting in the royal city, and the affairs of the army are temporarily commanded by the general." β
Ron nodded, since the First Legion has also come to the battlefield, there is no need to worry about the head-on battle.
"By the way, how is the battle going now?" Ron said in a deep voice, "Yod Town, is it still in our hands?"
"Yoder is ownerless right now. Will's eyes fell: "It's only time for us to dare to come, those Beru troops who have just stormed the city are no match for our cavalry at all, but many civilians in Yode Town have been killed, and now our First Legion and the enemy's troops are facing each other across a Yode town." β
Ron bowed slightly, the town of Yod, with the city gates wide open, was indeed not suitable for defense, let alone such a large number of troops. But the thought of the civilians slaughtered in Yoder made Ron's heart cramp, they didn't survive until reinforcements arrived, if their city guards had held out a little longerβ
"Brother Ron, don't think about it so much, it's not your fault, if you want to blame it, blame the damned yode. Will's voice was also a little heavy: "Big brother, you take a little rest, the Legion Commander said that when you and Captain Merial are in better health, he will come to talk to you." β
Will brought Ron some food and water, and Ron was left alone in the tent.
After replenishing some energy, Ron's head also became a lot clearer, looking up at the top of the tent, Ron also fell into deep thought.
According to Will, the current Duchy of Noah seems to have changed its original strategy of retreating, and instead wants to fight the enemy to the death on this great plain, but now he must face a problem, that is, his position in Noah's army.
Meria is an officer with an official rank in the Duchy of Noah, and his body is just an ordinary soldier who died in the city of Hamp, but the fact that he is a magician cannot be concealed in the army, and this new legion leader, if nothing else, will definitely let himself continue to serve in the army.
Truth be told, Ron didn't want to do that.
The war in the Death Fjord has lasted for such a long time, and the feud between the Duchy of Belu and the Duchy of Noah is definitely not something that can be resolved in one or two battles, and if he stays in the First Legion, his freedom in the future will probably be restricted.
Ron's ideal idea was to act with Meria, preferably to get a city in the Duchy that he could station, and he would rather be able to make his own name in the Deathfjord by his own abilities than to live in a life of constraints.
Ron was not worried that Meria would disagree, with what he knew about Meria, this young officer was definitely not the kind of person who was willing to do nothing, not to mention, Meria's secrets, even Ron himself, was a little incomprehensible, and he still clearly remembered how Merial killed two Belu knights in a row under the condition of unequal strength.
"Next, let's find a way to convince this new Legion Commander. Ron sighed lightly, and drowsiness gradually set in, and soon, in the tent, Ron's even breathing sounded.
