Chapter 384: Galini Belopt

Finely broken snowflakes fluttered in the air, the sky was gloomy, and the cold wind whistled over the peaks, making people unconsciously chill and shiver. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info stomped his numb feet as Gallini Beropet stood on top of a high cliff and looked at the disorganized camp of the Norton Warriors of the Northland in the distance.

From time to time, soldiers came out of the camp, unbuttoned their armor and took off their pants to pee on the Puerto Riqi Mountain, and faintly wore laughter and arrogant scolding in the wind: "Fools, the uncle is going back to Wodong, you just stay on the mountain and blow the wind......!"

Then a few officers came out of the camp and kicked the soldiers a few times, probably urging them to pack up...... After another hour or so, the first group of 3,000 men set out, marching in a neat procession under banner to the southwest of the southern province, and faintly heard them singing war songs in a cheerful mood, and occasionally a somewhat obscene folk tune, carrying a burst of laughter and applause......

It seems that they should really go back to Wodong, otherwise these soldiers would not be so relaxed and cheerful. Bai Luoput tightened the cowhide coat wrapped around his body, and felt cold and heavy. When the Duchy of Melain was destroyed, the soldiers of the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment also sang like this and embarked on the return journey, although the casualties were a bit large, but everyone was in the battle for a long time, believing in life and death, and the private gains were very rich, so the morale was still high.

But now, the enemy swaggered back to Wodong, while the 3rd Frontier Ranger Regiment still had to stay on the cold Pobiriqi Mountain to blow the wind and freeze, and the morale of the whole army was low, especially now that it was snowing lightly, and the furs and winter materials needed by the regiment for Wodong were still very insufficient. His Royal Highness the Grand Duke also wrote a letter, and the family had done its best, because it was not expected to be suddenly attacked by the four alliances of the Northland this year, so that the family did not have enough supplies at all, even if it received assistance from the four central principalities, but that large number of supplies were not armaments for the winter, but more civilian supplies......

Beropet did not complain about the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, as a playmate with whom the Grand Duke had grown up since childhood, he knew very well that the Grand Duke could write this letter to explain to him helplessly. In his impression, from childhood to adulthood, Grand Duke Fisabrun was arrogant, and he looked down on the decaying nobles of the former Krisson Empire, even if they were regarded by those nobles as barbarians from the steppe. He is known as the military god of the grassland, and has made immortal contributions to the empire, but he has been suppressed by the nobles of the former empire, until the three kings of the empire competed for the throne and the civil war broke out, the grand duke was able to get rid of the confinement of his body, and had the military and political power to deal with the Eastern Wilderness Province and Muyeyuan Province...... ，

It's a pity that there is only one year left before the Grand Duke's plan can be implemented, and at that time, the Fisabrun family can become the real overlord of the Northeast region, and it is even possible to build a real kingdom alone in the future, which is the real peak for the Fisabrun family. It's just that no one expected that the plan would be interrupted by the surprise attack of the four alliances in the Northlands, and now all the ambitions have become snow in the wind, and they will disappear without a trace when they land......

"My lord, is the Rock Legion going back to Wodong?" asked a family knight beside him.

"Yes, it should be true to look at the scenario. Bairopet nodded. Two days ago, the battalion of the Rock Legion came to the battalion with a heavy armor regiment with the emblem of the Kenmax family, and at that time he also ordered the whole army to raise its alert to prevent the enemy from launching a sneak attack while the weather was cold. It turned out that the enemy was going to adjust the force and change the guard, so that the Rock Legion would withdraw to Wodong, and the heavy armor corps of the Kenmax family was here to defend the camp.

"My lord, after the Rock Legion withdrew, there will be only one heavy armored corps left, and the strength is weak, should we go and sneak attack?" I think this is a good opportunity. The knight made another suggestion.

Bairopet was silent for a while, and finally shook his head: "Seria, let's not toss. It's already cold, and it's starting to snow lightly. How many more men do you think our legion can dispatch? Most of the soldiers have not yet been equipped with leather clothes for the winter, and they will freeze when they go out. Moreover, we have received nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Fifth Frontier Ranger Regiment, many of whom are naturalized barbarians, and they have not yet adapted to the tactics and rules of our Third Frontier Ranger Regiment. In such a situation, it is better to be still than to be still. If we go and attack the enemy, it will be a catastrophe for us to be entangled!"

Patting the young knight on the chest, and helping to brush away the little snowflakes that had fallen from his shoulders, Bairopet said to the young knight with a pleasant face: "Seria, you are a young lion, a brave knight. But war is not about how much you destroy the enemy. Our first purpose is to hold on to Mount Bobirichi, which is the order given to us by the Grand Duke. No matter how many victories we have won over the enemy and how many enemies we have destroyed, if the Pobiriqi Mountain is lost, it means that we have lost.

The Grand Duke had already analyzed it for us before leaving, as long as the Pobiriqi Mountain was in our hands, we would be able to maintain a certain strategic initiative over the southern provinces, and the four alliances in the north would not only spend twice as many troops to trap us, but also consume far more war supplies than ours. We can attack and retreat, but the enemy can only defend. The scale of this war is large, and it will be protracted. We are now holding on and forcing the four alliances of the Northlands to sign an armistice peace treaty with us because of the high cost and consumption of the war, and this is also the only chance for our Fisabrun family to turn around and turn defeat into peace. ”

The young Seria asked unwillingly, "Isn't there any chance that we will win this war?"

Bailopt shook his head with a wry smile: "No one wants to lose, but we have lost the lead in this war. The timing of the surprise attack that the four Northland Alliances had deliberately launched was too good to hit the moment when our clan was most unprepared. The fall of the First Frontier Rangers and the fall of the city of Windbrie were the heaviest blows to our family. In the Southern Province, we and the Four Central Duchyes joined forces to defeat the forces of the four alliance families in the Northlands, and although we lost a reserve legion, the consequences were not too serious for our family.

You should know why, the Reserve Legion is just a knife for our family, and if we lose this sword, we can recruit the Grass Barbarians to forge another one, but the destruction of the First Frontier Ranger Legion really broke our family's bones. It is not a pity that the 5th Frontier Ranger Regiment was disbanded. What His Highness has to do now is to keep the second, third, and fourth frontier rangers, these three legions are the foundation of our Fisabrun family, and they are also the hope of our family's future resurgence, so I can't risk the third frontier ranger regiment.

Seria, do you know why His Royal Highness the Grand Duke wants to go back to the family territory? His Royal Highness is not going to save the tide of the war in Makinohara Province, even if he has severely damaged the Norton family's cavalry army in the Northland, such a partial victory will not help the current war situation. His Royal Highness's real purpose is two, one is to see if he can capture Pietro City, make this war more chaotic, and let the grass barbarian tribe fight against the four alliances of the Northland. Second, if the city of Pydro cannot be captured, then the family will have to prepare for a few years of hard life, so His Royal Highness the Grand Duke must first clear the grassland of those grass barbarian tribes with tens of thousands of barbarian horses, so as not to threaten the family. ”

Belott looked at the surprised and incredulous eyes of the young Seriya and sighed: "Seriya, you have the blood of the Fisabrun family in your veins, you are the rising star of the family, and the Grand Duke and I have deep expectations for you, so I am telling you these secrets. Courage and ruthlessness are only temporary, but foresight is a lifetime. It's not terrible to fail, it's terrible that we don't accept the lesson of failure and make the same mistake next time. The defeat of this war with the four alliances of the Northland is inevitable, and the Grand Duke knows it, but what we are doing now is to make the consequences of this defeat as minimal and less terrible as it looks. ”

Young Seria nodded, her face full of gratitude: "Thank you, Uncle Galini, I understand. ”

Bailopt smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, I'm just talking casually, just know it in my heart." Let's go down the mountain, usually when you are not on duty, you practice more family heirloom fighting spirit, you have good talents, I hope you can also be like Her Royal Highness Princess Celevia, as soon as possible to be promoted to the gold rank, and become the pride of the Fisabrun family. ”

"Well, I'll try. ”

"By the way, Seriya, there's something I have to trouble you. Could you please go to the logistics camp and advise your cousin Volio, as the logistics director of the 3rd Frontier Rangers, that I hope he doesn't go too far. The last time the Queen of Elephant passed through here, what he did made the soldiers very angry. In addition, I hope that you can persuade him to perform his duties well, like the guard and defense of the mountain passage behind him, he has been perfunctory. In terms of identity, I am a descendant of the Fisabrun family, and I can't care about your cousin's affairs. But I am also the commander of the 3rd Frontier Corps, and I hope he will not force me to enforce military law......"

Young Seria's face turned red and she was speechless. Shame, as the queen of the Iberian Kingdom and the logistics director of the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment, one is his cousin and the other is his cousin, but these two have indeed become the greatest shame of the Fisabrun family in his eyes!

As the daughter of the queen and the grand duke, her cousin was so strange that she would open a prostitute camp in the barracks, and then the next day she scolded the soldiers of the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment for being poor and couldn't even afford the entertainment expenses of a gold coin, no wonder they would be defeated by the Norton family's armed forces, at least the Norton family's armed soldiers were much richer, saying that one Jinford was a Jinford, and even ten Jinfu could be scraped together......

He never dreamed that his cousin would be so shameless, and he didn't care about the fame and honor of the Fisabrun family. Fortunately, Captain Gallini Belopt handled it decently and ordered the soldiers to throw them in the car and send them out of the barracks.

As a result, the queen's convoy arrived at the logistics camp but was kept by her cousin, as the logistics director, Volio and the queen hit it off, the queen took her maids to open a brothel camp in the logistics camp, and also came to a big discount, jumping off the building for a big sale, a big silver coin can be with a queen's maid spring breeze. It doesn't matter if you don't have money, Lord Volio, the head of logistics, can lend you money to have a good time, and of course you have to take something out and mortgage it, anything, even the ordnance for the soldiers......

The queen and the logistics director were in a mess, and they made a large logistics battalion into a miasma, and even affected the four corps of the large battalion in front. The commander of the Beropet army endured it for three days, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, and directly sent his guards to expel the queen and her party from the barracks, and forcibly escorted their convoy back to the family territory. As a result, the escort came back and said that the queen cursed the captain all the way, scolding him for not standing in the way of his fortune......

Because of this, Bailopt also offended the logistics director Volio, who was the genealogy of the Fisabrun family, and he was the nephew of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun. And Bailopt's father is just an ordinary handyman of the family, because he met the young Grand Duke when he was a child, he became his follower and playmate, and under the support of the Grand Duke, he has today's achievements. Although he became the Golden Knight and the commander of the Third Frontier Legion, the people in the Fisabrun family did not think much of him, and privately called him the son of a miscellaneous servant......

In the past, as the logistics director, Volio was greedy and took some Bailopt and didn't want to care, as long as the logistics supply of the legion could be connected, everyone would be okay with their face. But this time Volio went too far, since that day the supplies sent to the front battalion are all short of catties and pounds, and sometimes there is a deliberate delay under the pretext that the transportation capacity cannot keep up, and the soldiers of the front battalion complained again and again, and the morale of the army was shaken and greatly reduced.

Captain Bairopet was also very angry in his heart, now is the most critical moment for the Fisabrun family, as a member of the Fisabrun family, it is really stupid to not contribute to the family but only think about his own small abacus, and take the opportunity to take revenge. It's just that it's not good to directly tear up his face with him and deal with Volio with military law, which will offend many people in the Fisabrun family. So it's better to use Seria's mouth to warn Volio and ask him to restrain himself.

......

"Your Highness, this is the third heavy snowfall, and the snow on the ground is half a foot thick, and I think it's time for us to go. ”

"Yes, it's time, it's time for us to deal a fatal blow to the 3rd Frontier Rangers. ”

"Your Highness, it's okay if you want to go, but I refuse you to open the way ahead, otherwise we'd rather die than go......"

"Hehe, Borg, you're still threatening me......"

"Your Highness, I insist, you can go, but you can't rush to the front. This is everyone's opinion, the family can be stable only with you. We can't do without us, but the family can't do without His Highness. ”

"Well, I'll follow you, as you wish. ”

On December 23, 1778, the Rock Regiment of the Norton Family braved the wind and snow to make a surprise attack on the back of Pobiriqi Mountain in the Eastern Wilderness Province, capturing the unsuspecting logistics camp of the 3rd Frontier Ranger Regiment in one fell swoop, and forcing the four Frontier Ranger Corps stationed in the front mountain to surrender. The commander of the 3rd Frontier Ranger Regiment, Gallini Belopter, killed himself in public after surrendering, and left a message before his death: Shame on the trust of the Grand Duke and atone for his sins.
