Chapter 367: Elk Corps
However, far water can't quench the thirst, Aldrich is far away in the northernmost part of the kingdom, and Ampton City is in the southernmost part of the kingdom, Barron originally wanted Aldrich to take the Life Scepter to help heal Duke Dark, and the time is not necessarily urgent.
Considering that it took Van Lentien to bring people to Ampton City, it would take twenty days, and it would take about the same time for Aldrich to come over, not counting the time to set out from here to inform Aldrich.
After visiting Duke Dark, Barron led them to the castle's reception room under the guidance of Sachia.
"Please wait in the reception room for the time being, and I'll go and tell the corps commander to come over at once. After saying that, Saqia hurriedly left the reception room, leaving only the four Barrons to wait in the reception room.
Barron's power never stopped, except for Duke Dark, and when Sachia left, he only felt that his back was completely soaked.
While waiting in the reception room for Doppler, the commander of the Elk Corps, Barron suddenly asked Van Lentien: "What is the situation in Ampton City now? Why do I seem to be being troubled everywhere after I arrived here today, although Saqia came forward later, but Doppler has not appeared until now?"
Van Luntien looked at the three Barrons in the reception room, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, but whether it was 'Dietlinde' or Aska here, these two Van Luntien were also more familiar, so he began to explain the current situation in Ampton City to a few people.
......
......
Among the three major corps of the Nader Kingdom, the Zhenbei Corps, that is, the original Guards Corps, is the absolute first corps, followed by the Elk Corps ranked second, and the Silver Snow Corps was at the bottom.
However, there are leisurely nobles who have said in private that if the Zhenbei Corps does not have Duke Dak as the commander of the corps, according to the comprehensive strength, the Elk Corps is the first of the three major corps of the Nader Kingdom.
Although this kind of discourse was only spread on a small scale, it was quite supported by many nobles, because in the eyes of many nobles, if the Duke of Duck was removed, the entire Zhenbei Corps would originally have only one senior knight, the deputy commander August.
And now after August took over the formation of the new Silver Snow Corps, the Zhenbei Corps did not even have a senior knight, and the new deputy corps commander [Bladeless Blade] Egbert also has the name of the Three Knights, known as the strongest among the intermediate knights, and also the intermediate knight with the most hope of breaking through to the hope of the big knight.
But after all, an intermediate knight is just an intermediate knight, and even an excellent intermediate knight is not a real senior knight, and he can't support the might of a corps!
However, the Elk Corps has two senior knights, namely the corps leader [Dark Knight] Doppler and the deputy corps leader [Horned Deer] Saqia, which is one more than the original Zhenbei Corps, not to mention now.
In addition to high-end combat power, the Elk Legion, which has been fighting with the Goth Kingdom in the south all the year round, is much more elite than the Zhenbei Legion and the former Silver Snow Legion even if it is an ordinary soldier.
When the Zhenbei Corps was still called the Guards Corps, although it was well-equipped, it had to defend the royal capital, so the actual combat experience of the Zhenbei Corps was very little, and it could only occasionally use some unsightly thieves and the like to practice their hands.
The situation of the Silver Snow Corps and the Zhenbei Corps is similar, and the peace period of more than thirty years has made the Silver Snow Corps more than a step behind the Ice Wind Kingdom in terms of actual combat effectiveness and combat alertness.
No matter how much the army of the Icewind Kingdom is under the leadership of the [King of the North] Aland, whether it is conquering the polar glaciers or the permafrost plateau, it does not rely on words, but on real wars.
That's why the original Silver Snow Legion was attacked by the Icewind Kingdom army and was broken so quickly, although there were reasons for the traitor's internal response, but there was also a reason for the Silver Snow Legion itself to be negligent.
But the Elk Corps is different, between them and the Goth Kingdom where they are further south, there will basically be a big and small battle every year, and in terms of actual combat experience, the original Elk Corps is absolutely outstanding, far surpassing the Zhenbei Corps and the Silver Snow Corps.
Therefore, the lack of actual combat of the Zhenbei Corps and the Silver Snow Corps, has not been looked down upon by the Elk Corps, for the Elk Corps that there will be wars all year round, it is believed that the Zhenbei Corps and the Silver Snow Corps are just a group of boys who have not experienced war and blood, and have not even grown hair, Silver Snow Castle was broken by the Ice Wind Kingdom, and the Silver Snow Corps was almost wiped out, which deepened this idea within the Elk Corps.
And it is also very good in the training of junior and intermediate knights, among which there are many strong people who are not lacking in talent and strength, but because of their remote location, they are not taken seriously.
On the contrary, the Zhenbei Corps, which exists as the capital of the Gongwei King, is not only the best equipment, but also the most famous, and the so-called 'Three Knights' are all from the Zhenbei Corps, so that the Elk Corps and the Ice and Snow Corps are completely ignored.
However, the Zhenbei Corps does not have the strength to match its reputation.
"So the entire Elk Corps has a lot of grievances against the Zhenbei Corps, thinking that if the resources supplied to the Zhenbei Corps are given to the Elk Corps after the Zhenbei Corps is dismantled, then the Elk Corps can even take the initiative to attack the Goth Kingdom and completely occupy the Goth Kingdom!"
"If the Elk Corps has a grudge against the Zhenbei Corps, what does it have to do with us, and they treat us like this?" Barron asked curiously.
Fan Luntieen sighed and said, "Although Lord Barron participated in the war to suppress the rebellion of the four lords as a mercenary, in the eyes of the people of the Elk Legion, you are a member of the Zhenbei Legion. ”
"As for the two ladies Dietlinde and Aska, they should have been affected by the Silver Snow Corps and Lord August, after all, both of you are from the newly formed Silver Snow Corps?"
"Why do you say that?" Barron asked curiously.
Fan Luntieen scratched his head and said, "I also heard this from someone I know in the Elk Corps a few days ago, and now there is such a message circulating in the Elk Corps. ”
"It is said that the reason why the Silver Snow Legion was able to capture the Icewind Kingdom in one fell swoop was entirely because a natural disaster disintegrated the entire army of the Icewind Kingdom, which made August, who was born in the Zhenbei Legion, pick up a big advantage. ”
"If it weren't for this natural disaster, the Silver Snow Corps would be nothing, the Silver Snow Corps would just be a thief who would steal credit!"
