Chapter 281: The Route of the March

Although his mouth was directly covered, the soldier's loud insult still spread. Then, like a plague, it spread among the ranks, and for a time there was an uproar in the ranks, and the march was a little chaotic.

As the defenders stationed on the border between the kingdom and the eastern border, these eastern soldiers have been marching for more than three months, and it is no wonder that these soldiers are full of resentment and make trouble at every opportunity.

"What's the matter, are they itching to eat whips?", and while they were making a fuss, an officer rushed from the rear and shouted loudly to suppress the commotion. The leather whip he wielded in his hand "snapped" in the air, and the soldiers saw him like a mouse and a cat, and they all became honest.

There is only one kind of officer in the army who will hold the whip like this, that is, the overseer who manages and enforces military law, and it is no wonder that these soldiers are so afraid of this person, even many soldiers who have accumulated years of oil, and they dare not make a mistake in the face of the overseer.

"What's wrong, Overseer Klaucy, there's something wrong with the team?", a moment later another officer in full armor arrived in front of the line and asked the Overseer.

"It's not a big deal, General Sinjiadi, it's just that the soldiers have been gone for too long and are a little grumbling. Overseer Kraussy replied to him, and he whispered as he walked towards the Chinese army with General Sinjiadi: "The team has been training outside for too long, and it is already a little unstable, and this mess is already a little late, I thought that someone would make trouble in the first two months." ”

"After being a soldier for so many years, these soldiers are not idiots, how can they make some moths in front of your overseers, if something really happens, the leader has to lose his head, this military law is not a joke. General Xin Jiadi sneered, "These soldiers have better calculations in their hearts than anyone else, they just walk more, and it is not high-intensity training, so they can't survive." It's just shouting, not to mention that you can go back right away. ”

"We've all walked to Cape City, and we're almost at the southern border, even if we go back, we have to march for about half a month to return to the station, and if that lord thinks of any new ideas, it will take a long time. As he spoke, Overseer Clausey lowered his voice again, so light that General Singardi could not hear it when he turned sideways.

"General, what do you mean by that lord? I have served in the army for so many years, and I have never seen a commander train like this. You say, he really doesn't understand, or is there some intention in it?"

General Xin Jiadi shook his head, "This training has been going on for three months, and any intentions should have been exposed a long time ago." Well, don't think about it, maybe you really want to train the team's physical patience as the adult said. ”

As they spoke, they slowly walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army, and when they reached the tent, the two of them closed their mouths and chose a place in the tent to sit down at will. At this time, there were already dozens of officers of all sizes sitting in the account, which also filled the originally spacious tent. Everyone was eating the same pot of rice, and the old friends who had served together in the army for many years began to chat, but they didn't dare to raise their voices because they were afraid of the new legion elder, and their voices were lowered a lot.

Even the strongest general can't hide the tiredness between his eyebrows and eyes at this time, both physically and mentally. After a long march on foot for three months, sleeping day and night, not only the soldiers, but also the generals were exhausted.

There's nothing more boring and tiring than walking for three months straight.

While the generals were chatting, the curtain was opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in brocade who did not look like a soldier at all, but a nobleman, strode in, and behind him, an old man with white hair was closely followed.

The generals present hurriedly stood up and saluted the middle-aged man in unison: "General!" The person who came was the newly appointed commander of the Eastern Army of the Kingdom of St. Tereland, Count Saxon Scott. It's just that while saluting, these generals are all wondering: "Who is this old man who is following closely behind the general?"

You must know that not everyone can enter this Chinese army tent.

"Don't be so restrained, let's all sit down. Saxon beckoned the generals to sit down, "Now that the team has marched to Cape City, all the generals must be aware of this, and this temporary military meeting is held to arrange the marching route for the next stage of the team. ”

As soon as he said this, the generals in the tent looked at each other, and one of the generals asked directly: "General, shouldn't the next march route be withdrawn to the garrison of our Eastern Army? ”

The Saxon general smiled slightly, "After walking so many ways, the soldiers are already very tired, and I can understand that they want to return to the station as soon as possible." It's just that the things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and it's impossible to do everything according to the predetermined plan. I've just received an order, and I hope the generals will understand. ”

Then he cleared his throat and began to arrange, "The next route of our eastern army is not to the north, but to the south!", he hammered the table and ordered categorically.

"What! still south?", the order of the Saxon general directly poked the hornet's nest, causing unanimous opposition from all the generals.

"General, if we go further south, we will step into the south! This is not a joke! It will cause a drastic change in the kingdom!"

"Yes, according to the laws of the kingdom, our eastern army cannot enter the southern border for no reason, and entering without permission will attract the attack of the southern army!"

The generals said babblingly.

"You don't have to be in a hurry to object, you can rest assured that it is completely reasonable and legal for our Eastern Army to enter the Eastern Territory. Because of the great lord of the East, the Medici family conspired to rebel and colluded with the great prince Lance Grievous to attack the royal palace in a vain attempt to kill his father and kill the king, which is an unforgivable crime. After a unanimous ruling of the Senate, the Medici family was stripped of their nobility and the duties of the lords of the South. ”

"Your Majesty has personally written a royal decree here, ordering the Eastern Army to invade the southern frontier and exterminate the Medici family, and the details of the matter will be explained to the generals by this royal envoy, Mr. Gletchev. ", the Saxon general said unhurriedly, and then he let go of his figure, revealing the old man behind him.

The words of the Saxon general were like a bolt from the blue, and the generals among the generals were so stunned that they could not even believe what the general had just said, until Gletchev showed the emperor's handwritten order with the seal of the emperor, and the generals gradually came to believe this astonishing fact.
