Chapter 109: The Girl Joins the Army
On the 6th, the elves sent an additional 500,000 troops to attack the Terran Seth Kingdom from three directions, of which the attack of Gray Goose City was the most fierce, with about 300,000 troops, and there were 100,000 troops under the two cities of Stormwind City and Qinghe City.
500,000 troops, which is already a quarter of the strength of the elves.
"Sharlene Elvi, that old bitch, is going to want to play a big game, 500,000 troops will be sent, it seems that there are a lot more people in her elf clan, and she wants to send them to reduce the population. Gadar stood in front of the battle sand table, on which there were small blue-green flags, of which blue represented the Seth army and green represented the elven army.
"My troops have been assembled and are here on standby. Gadar said, picking up two small black flags and planting them on the two mountains next to Grey Goose City, forming horns.
"Our red-clothed army has successfully detoured behind the Sanssouci Flower Legion and the Nanting Flower Legion that just arrived, as long as you two attack, I will charge from behind. I'm glad that the elven fools have built their camp in the flats of a flat river, and my knights are hungry and thirsty. Russell said, picking up a small red flag and planting it behind the small green flag representing the elven army.
"300,000 against 300,000, Lord Augsig put the four of us here for the purpose of giving the elves a huge blow on the frontal battlefield, and we can't lose face in the military department. Listen to me for the operational deployment of several of you. When it comes to fighting, Anne's usual gentleness is completely gone, replaced by a strong self-confidence and a tough attitude, like having two personalities.
"Okay, anyway, Lord Augsig sent you here to help us make a battle plan, if you don't get it, will you come to visit the mountains and rivers?" Sulamir took a file from the shelf on the side and said: "The Sanssouci Flower Legion is a powerful force of the elf clan, it is a strengthened legion, with a number of 200,000, plus the newly arrived Nanting Flower Legion, 300,000 people have two commanders, and the execution is stronger than ours." This dossier contains detailed information about Catherine, the leader of the Sanssouci Flower Legion, and even what color of panties she likes to wear. β
"Why do you want her to wear colored panties? You have a crush on her?" Russell asked, "She's almost four thousand years old this year!"
"Can you not be so dirty in your thoughts!" Suramir glared at Russell fiercely.
Anne picked up the dossier and said without looking up: "According to a person's choice of the color of his underwear, her character can be seen. Personality has a big impact on a commander's command style. β
According to the theory of Joseph Cage, a famous psychologist and legendary magician in mainland China, "Psychic Storm", a person's true character can be seen from the color he likes. This is the result of a decade of mind reading by the legendary magician who likes different colors, and it is very accurate.
Anne carefully studied Catherine's dossier, and through her habitual observations, she could estimate how Catherine would respond to different situations, so as to make a plan in advance.
The "Invincible Three Musketeers" had to prepare no less than Anne, and the three of them gathered around the combat sand table, moving some flags from time to time, and saying as if they were evil, these are all simulations of the battlefield form.
An excellent general can only fight according to the combat arrangements made in advance; an ordinary general can make certain adjustments according to the form on the battlefield; an excellent general can flexibly apply tactics without making any pre-war preparations; and a top-notch general can think of any possibility before the start of the war, and can easily deal with those things that change from "sudden" to "expected."
Suramir, Gadar, Russell, and Anne can all be counted as top players, and the four stars get together...... What can be made?
......
In the Sanssouci Flower Barracks, fourteen elves lined up, standing in front of Catherine, Sylvia stood at the end, she was half a head shorter than the other elves, she looked particularly petite and eye-catching.
"You're going to join the army?" Catherine asked with a little puzzled as she looked at the elves in front of her, the largest of whom were no more than 1,200 years old.
"Yes, Legionnaire. Posilona said.
"She's going to join the army too?" Catherine gestured to Sylvia, who was at the end of the line.
No way, Sylvia was so immature, so immature that Catherine thought she had smuggled out of the house in order to join the army.
"Yes, Legionnaire, I'm joining the army too. Sylvia replied. After wandering outside for half a year, coupled with her own lively personality, Sylvia did not feel the slightest fear and restraint in front of Catherine.
"How old are you?" asked Catherine again. She had to make sure that Sylvia was old enough to join the army.
The minimum requirement for elves to join the army is to be at least eight hundred years old, and Sylvia is just enough, but in practice, if not an emergency, she is usually allowed to enlist at least a thousand years old.
"If you go back to the commander, I'm eight hundred years old this year. Sylvia said crisply.
Catherine fell silent immediately. Eight hundred years old, this grade is too young, not yet an adult, such a young life should not be lost in the cruel war without enjoying many good times, especially now that there is no shortage of soldiers in the clan.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Sylvia. β
"Sylvia?" a hint of surprise flashed in Catherine's heart, the name "Forest" can only be granted by the Empress, not ordinary people can get it, there are only three people in the whole clan called Sylvia except for the three elders of the Council of Elders, and this delicate girl in front of her should be the youngest of them.
Since this is the case, then she must not be allowed to join the army, otherwise if Her Majesty the Empress knows, she may be punished, after all, those who can get the name of Her Majesty the Empress are all favored by Her Majesty.
"Sylvia, I'm sorry, you're too young, and if I put you in my army, it would be a disregard and disrespect for the lives of my people. You are still young, and fighting war is what we old guys should do, and you little ones should enjoy enjoying the wonderful world and exploring the mysteries of this world again. Catherine said.
"But, according to the clan's conscription requirements, I'm old enough. Sylvia said with a little face on her face, she still wanted to fight for it.
Catherine looked at the slightly stubborn girl in front of her, sighed in her heart, and said kindly: "Sylvia, there are now two million warriors in the clan, and there is no shortage of soldiers at all. The war is very cruel, the scene of blood and flesh scattered for ten miles, stumps and broken arms all over the ground, you may not have seen it at all, I am afraid that you will never come back the first time you go to the battlefield. You are only 800 years old, how much combat strength can a little guy of your age have? In my army, the most ordinary soldier also has the strength of a Wind Ranger, and you are so young, I am afraid that you are still struggling at the stage of apprenticeship ranger. Listen to Aunt Catherine's words, go back. β
"Legionnaire, I'm already a Traceless Ranger, my combat effectiveness is very strong, and I still have the fighting skills of an assassin, at least I can be equivalent to a Shadowless Assassin. Sylvia argued, "My lord, my tribe is gone, and it has been burned to ashes by the demons. My parents have also died in the demon hunting war a long time ago, and I am now alone, where are you going for me?"
As she spoke, Sylvia burst into tears.
She thought of her parents, of her little friends who had played with her since she was a child, of the old patriarch of Jaconi, and of Dark.
That shadow demon boy always gave her a sense of peace of mind, not as lonely as she is now.
He took on the role of her loved one when she was at her most helpless.
Catherine was visibly stunned when she heard Sylvia's words, and even Posillona and the others looked at Sylvia in surprise. Sylvia had never told them these things, and if it weren't for Sylvia joining the Sanssouci Flower Legion, they might never have known that so much change and suffering had happened to this seemingly carefree girl.
At such a young age, she has the strength of a traceless ranger, I am afraid that it has also been honed in these hardships, and it has something to do with talent, no wonder Her Majesty the Empress gave her the name Sylvia. The talent is so good, it can only be said that Her Majesty the Empress has a discerning eye.
Looking at Sylvia's pear blossom with rain, Catherine was also moved with compassion, it is not impossible to stay, as long as she is not put in the front-line combat unit. Although it cannot be put into the front-line combat units, there are still quite a lot of solutions.
"Sylvia, from today onwards, you will be a personal guard by my side. Catherine said.
Being a guard is an idle errand, you don't have to go to the battlefield in wartime, just stay by the boss's side, if the enemy attacks, Catherine has the strength of a free ranger, and she doesn't use Sylvia to protect her at all, let alone protect Sylvia.
Hearing that Catherine wanted Sylvia to be her personal guard, Bosirona and the others were extremely envious. After following the boss and having the boss's appreciation, the future promotion of military ranks will naturally be like doing a teleportation array, swishing upward.
Sylvia originally wanted to go into battle and kill the enemy, but Catherine would definitely not agree. Sylvia was afraid that Catherine would not accept her, and when she heard that Catherine would accept her as a personal guard, then she would be a personal guard, at least she would enter the barracks, so she was very happy and said, "Thank you, Commander!"
"Hmm. Catherine nodded with a smile, turned to Posilona, and said, "A few of you join the first brigade, and the specific position is up to Captain Serena to decide, now you follow my adjutant to the logistics department to get a set of military uniforms, and then go to report." β
"Yes. Posilona and the others said in unison, turning around and following Catherine's adjutant away.
The Legion Commander's tent was now only Catherine and Sylvia.
"Captain Legionnaire, am I leading the army?" asked Sylvia.
"You are my personal guard, and your military uniform will be specially prepared. Catherine smiled kindly, "You are now my only personal guard, and you will live in a tent with me in the future, and there will be some meetings or something, as long as I don't say that you should be avoided, you can follow and listen." β
This is to promote the younger generations. Catherine, who had spent her entire life in the military and had no children, felt compassion for Sylvia and decided to treat her as her own daughter.
"Thank you, Legionnaire!" said Sylvia. Gmy also taught her a lot of tactics on the way to use the army, and repeatedly ordered her to memorize and memorize it, and now Catherine is so loved, it is what Gon said "turning theory into practice".
Perhaps it was because he had expected that Sylvia would go to the army, so he taught her a lot in advance, such as how to save her life, how to use her troops, how to camp in various terrains, and the advantages and disadvantages of various terrains.
Now it's time for Sylvia to really put this knowledge to work.
Catherine laughed and said, "Don't call Legion Commander, call me by name, you are my personal guard now." β
"Yes, Lord Catherine!" Sylvia put her right hand to her forehead and saluted an elven military salute.
"Dine with me first, I see you've come so far, you should be hungry. β
......
Catherine's meal for Sylvia was good, with wheat cakes, fruit, and mushroom soup. Sylvia, who became the commander's personal guard, was also squeezed into the ranks of officers, and after the meal, someone brought a set of "three-leaf" officer uniforms.
The officers of the elven clan are named after the leaves embroidered on the military uniform, one of which is the lowest, which is equivalent to the ten-captain, and the nine-leaf is the highest, which is the commander of the legion.
Sylvia is now also an officer on par with a centurion (Futaba is equivalent to a captain).
Sylvia, who had changed into an officer's uniform, walked along the road and could see the soldiers saluting her and saying, "Hello sir." β
Sylvia smiled and nodded in response.
Back at the Legion Commander's tent, Catherine looked at Sylvia in a crisp dark green military uniform, looking radiant and heroic.
"Very spiritual. Catherine nodded, and she looked at Sylvia's waist, and saw that there was no enchanted dagger of the elves, but a leather sheath, only one of which was exposed, and she didn't know what kind of weapon it contained.
"Sylvia, show me your weapon. Catherine said.
"Good. With that, Sylvia pulled out the long thorn of the Rose and handed it to Catherine.
Catherine took the strange-shaped weapon and looked at it carefullyβthe mysterious lines and hollows on it seemed to have a unique effect, the sharp tip of the thorn gave people the ability to pierce everything, and the almost undetectable blood on it swore to the world that it was a murder weapon.
"This weapon is interesting, but what about your enchanted dagger?" Catherine returned the Rose thorn to Sylvia.
"Gave it away. This weapon is called 'Rose', and it was given to me by a friend of mine, and before we left, we exchanged weapons to show our thoughts. Sylvia said honestly.
"Oh, it must be someone who is important to you, right?"
"Well, it's important. β
There were tears in the girl's eyes......
