Chapter 184: Recovering the Lost Ground
"As you know, I have sent three knights, Wind, Glory, and Rose, to the south to take the Anderheitham Merchant Alliance, to the north to take the many principalities along the Lasdoya River, and to the east...... In order to gain control of the all-important Dragon Range, it is necessary to take Pritz City, the capital of the Kingdom of Lorraine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Instead of turning against the Lorraine Kingdom at that time, it is better to strike first, and while the matter has not yet been revealed, the Lorraine Kingdom will be disabled first, and no matter what we do at that time, the Lorraine Kingdom will not have the strength to oppose it. Grand Duke Paris said slowly with a gloomy face.
"This ......" To be honest, Archduke Paris's actions were really contrary to Alfred's knightly creed, but the loyalty to Paris made the middle-aged knight's words of advice hesitate again and again.
The dust has just settled on the battle between the emperor and queen in the Valu Empire, and Paris has once again set off a storm, which will inevitably have a far-reaching impact on the entire human realm, and even affect the strength of the human race among the many races on the continent, after all, the fall of so many high-level magicians at one time is an unbearable pain for the entire human race.
However, for the rivalry between the Grand Duke of Paris and the King of Fairman, for Leo in the city of Rien, it is a very distant thing, basically like a praying mantis watching two elephants fight in a tree, even if he wants to help, he can't help, and he can't stop it.
Out of fear of the Wizard Regiment of the Kingdom of Lorraine, Leo ordered the Grizzly Legion to repair and train in Rien City, and on the other hand, sent most of the Iga ninja army to the three southern provinces to find out the truth of the Wizard Regiment, and at the same time sent the news of the surrender of Archduke William and the recovery of Rien City back to the imperial capital, so that the new Emperor Raymond could rest assured and could also use this to win the hearts of the people.
The news that the Iga ninja army had brought back surprised Leo and William and the others. In the dozens of large towns in the entire three southern provinces, there were only thousands of defenders of the Kingdom of Lorraine and hundreds of management civilians, among which the number of magicians was extremely small, and they did not pose a threat at all.
Through the Iga Shinobi Army, Leo confirmed the matter to the Nakashinobi Hyakichi Yukishige who was sitting in the south, and after Hyakji Yukishige sent back the confirmed news. Leo and William glanced at each other, their eyes full of excitement and excitement.
"Great!Leo!" William's words trembled a little.
"Yes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we must not let it go!" replied Leo excitedly.
"Taking advantage of the emptiness of the Lorraine Kingdom's forces in the three southern provinces, we must quickly take the entire territory of the three provinces in one go, so as not to give the Lorraine Kingdom a chance to breathe. Leo said as he stood up excitedly.
"That's right, we must take this opportunity to recover the three provinces, so that the south can return to the Varu Empire once again. This time I must lead the team, and I will be the first to attack the south with my soldiers and atone for my sins. William stared at Leo tightly and pleaded, although it was a bit taboo to take the initiative to ask for troops, but William couldn't care so much in order to be able to return to the south.
"That's fine, but it's cheaper for Captain McHuner, and his Grizzlies can complete the mission without a fight, which is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing. Leo's joke put William at ease.
After all, how could Commander McShunner give up? The Grizzlies were defeated in the last counterinsurgency, and after a lot of pressure, they were counting on this time to wash away their shame. But he didn't expect Leo to use only 200 heavily armored soldiers to make the southern rebels surrender in a battle, which made the McShouner Legion Commander feel depressed with a punch in the air, but Leo is the commander of the counterinsurgency after all, and the McShouner Legion Commander can't blame the commander, so this depression has been stuffy in his heart. But if the battle to regain lost territory in the south doesn't allow the Grizzlies to go into battle, Captain McHuner will really be furious.
"No, I'm firmly against it!" Leo and William had just consulted with Captain McSheaugh, but as soon as they spoke, they were vetoed by Captain McShea.
"This time to recover the South, no matter what, we have to be the main vanguard of the Grizzly Legion, if Count Leo can trust William, let William take the Southern soldiers to protect your safety. This time, let's take a good look at the strength of our Grizzly Legion. Captain McHuner looked stout and stout, he was a little clever, and wanted to take Leo into the ditch with a word.
"Just because I trusted William, I think it would be more appropriate to have him lead those southern soldiers as the vanguard, after all, they are more familiar with the customs and customs of the south, and the former officials and ministers of the Wagner family are all there, as long as William appears, I believe that those cities can be brought down. Naturally, Leo would not be fooled, and was very patient in persuading Captain McShouner.
This reason is also very strong, and with the prestige of the Wagner family, it is not impossible to regain the south without bloodshed, but Commander McShouner does not want to give up just like that. The three of them argued over the matter, and even if it weren't for Leo as the commander-in-chief, William and the duke, the commander of the McHuner regiment would have wanted to speak with his fists.
Since it was necessary to race against time to travel to the south, any waste of time could bring the kingdom of Lorraine back to its senses, so after fierce and short negotiations, the three reached an agreement, with William and his southern soldiers as guides, leading the Grizzly Legion to recover the three southern provinces in three ways at the same time, and in case of battle, the Grizzly Legion would be responsible.
After the three of them reached a consensus, they immediately gathered their respective teams to prepare heavy food and grass, and set off towards the south in the shortest possible time. Viscount Murphy and Baron Leon, who had not yet received the news, looked at the empty barracks and the city lord's mansion in amazement, if it weren't for the letter left by Leo, maybe these nobles of Ryan City thought that the Kingdom of Lorraine was coming, and the Grizzly Legion fled.
However, this incident made the nobles and civilians in the city of Rien once again excited by the rapid pace of the Empire's army, which in their eyes and mouths was simply the glory of the Empire.
As the three Leo envisioned, this time the operation to recover the three southern provinces was extremely smooth, the Lorraine army stationed in the three southern provinces was extremely poor in combat effectiveness, and the Lorraine Kingdom, which was biased towards magical power, had extremely loose training for ordinary soldiers, and the equipment was outdated. To the Southern soldiers who are eager to go home and eager to be ashamed, and the Grizzly Legion soldiers who are bent on winning military exploits, they are as fragile as chicks under the claws of eagles, tigers and leopards.
As for the magicians stationed in the city, under the instruction of Leo, the ninjas of the Iga ninja army carried out targeted assassinations on them, often the Grizzly Legion eliminated the defenders of the Kingdom of Lorraine, only to find out after entering the city that the garrison magicians had already been killed, and this situation also made the captain of the McHuner army furious, scolding Leo for being too insidious, and even fighting for this bit of military merit.
