208 is gone
There was no more sound in the tent, and Loren lamented the impermanence of the world again, and then he instructed the craftsmen in the camp to make three good coffins, bury the bodies of the three well, and send his right-hand man to bring Rian's confession, and escort the messenger of the Grand Duke of Charlotte to send the three coffins to the mercenary city overnight.

He knew that Grand Duke Julio would only feel at ease when he saw the corpses of the three people, and he had more important things to do here, Loren sorted out the chaotic mood, and excluded his subordinates from recruiting all the generals.
In fact, Julio can be said to know every move on this front line well, after all, this is related to the vital interests of the principality, once the mercenary city is captured by the Calais, then according to the agreement, many preferential conditions for the mercenary city will be opened, which is undoubtedly a major loss to the principality.
The conference had been convened two days later, and the Grand Duke's instructions on the matter had been delivered the day before, and by this time Loren was sitting in the center of the tent, and the generals had already taken their seats below, and the generals who had commanded the army at the front had also arrived.
Loren read out the edict of the Grand Duke of Julio in public, briefly read out the crimes of the former military general Ryan West, of course, everyone is dead, and the rest naturally does not need to be talked about, and then it is to appoint Loren as the new military governor, overseeing all matters related to the war with the Calais, in fact, this has been arranged before.
By the time Luo Lun finished reading this edict, there was no sound below, but some people's faces were pale, and beads of sweat were constantly sliding down their faces.
Loren glanced at the generals with a cold gaze, and suddenly shouted, "General Liszt, General Dennier ,γγγ" and shouted the names of more than a dozen generals in a row, "You and others colluded with Lille to rebel and act as a tiger, and they should have been severely punished, but thinking of your past achievements, and now when the Principality is employing people, the Grand Duke wisely decided to temporarily exempt you from the crime, repay you and other people, and do your best for the Principality." β
When these dozens of people heard this, they immediately knelt down and bowed, "Thank you Grand Duke, thank you Luo Lun Military and Political Lord." "Alright, all of you get up, although the capital crime is removed, you are not fit to serve in your present position, and I will send someone to inform you of your new position later, go down first." β
What does this mean? It is evident that these people have been imprisoned, and these people who used to hold important positions in the military department, but now that they have all been removed from their posts, they are not allowed to leave, and all information is closed, and this makes their hearts that they have just let go hang again.
Luo Ren's methods can be described as drastic, some generals who are free in the middle of the two factions and want to be the grass on the wall to reap the benefits have also been demoted, and people who have not been reused before have been promoted and held important positions in the military department.
When talking about Norman, Luo Ren's face couldn't help but be cold, the Grand Duke had a disposition to all the generals, but this Norman was not promoted or demoted, and where to continue to stay, "For the Norman general, although he was guilty of poor command on the battlefield, he fought bravely and caused heavy losses to the Calais, so that he could not pose a threat to our principality in the short term, so he made a decision not to reward or punish, and continued to stay in the forward battalion as a general." "And the garrison of the forward battalion and the two outpost fortresses is only an increase in troops, and there is no intention of changing the guard.
After pondering for a long time, Loren finally said the news, which immediately caused a lot of commotion in the big tent, anyone can see that such heavy losses in this battle were caused by this Norman's improper command, but why would the Grand Duke make such an arrangement?
Everyone was full of hesitation, but it was just a whisper below, and no one dared to raise any objections publicly, so Loren continued to read out the Duchy's compensation for the dead soldiers, as well as the rewards for the soldiers who had made outstanding achievements in battle.
This battle alone lost most of the forward battalion, a full 60,000 soldiers were killed, not counting the loss of the fortress and slope mercenaries, and the Calais also paid a terrible price for this battle, at the beginning of the attack on the pass, the battle loss was as high as six to one, six Calais soldiers could kill a defender of the city, but in the later stage it became the same casualties, despite this, the Calais still paid a tragic price of up to 180,000 casualties, the general alone lost more than 300 people, the five-mile-long canyon outside the pass, almost filled with corpses, and the blood and water even whipped up the helmet, and the principality faced some dead soldiers, and the general did not have a thousand gold coins, no one among the fighters ranged from five hundred to two hundred.
For almost all the combat officers except Norman, they were promoted, which calmed down the small riot just now, and for those generals with outstanding military achievements, the principality did not distinguish that they belonged to that faction before, and all of them gave very reasonable treatment on merit, which made these people's hearts warm.
Helmet Mountain Fortress, in this battle suffered heavy losses, almost everyone was wounded, but compared to the more than 4,000 warriors who died, they were still lucky, with Gerald rushed down the cliff fortifications successively a total of more than 5,000 people, but after the war there were less than 2,000 left, and the master who went to the sneak attack with Reg at the beginning, there were only thirty-one left, and the deciduous mercenary group suffered the first tragic loss since the founding of the group, a total of only more than 100 members, and now there are only about 40 people left, Shengxuan has countless scars, and finally it is to the point of losing his strength, Reg was seriously injured, Carl almost lost an arm, and Alawi was left with a terrifying sword wound on his stomach, and if it was a little deeper, he would be cut off, The three dwarf brothers were also covered in blood, and if it weren't for their strong bodies, I'm afraid ordinary people would have fallen long ago.
This is still the team of Fallen Leaves, which has many masters, and some small mercenary groups have all died in battle, and since then there are no more their banners in Mercenary City.
For these bloody mercenaries, the principality gave an unexpected reward, all mercenary group points doubled, for these mercenary groups participating in the war, the biggest is only A-level, get these points, they are likely to be promoted to S-level, but after the strength has been hit hard, what is the use of having this empty level? For the members of the mercenary group who died, each person was given 1,000 gold coins as a pension, which was already the treatment of the principality's officers, and for those mercenary regiments whose masters or even regimental commanders died in battle, the principality gave the entire mercenary group a bonus ranging from 500,000 to 10 million at a time.
Gerald and Ortega were bandaged like mummies again, although they were lying on the bed and had difficulty moving, but they were still shouting, Gerald squinted his eyes and looked at the military order in his hand with great effort, pretending to look at it for a long time, and his mouth was even more gracious for a long time, and finally he only said one sentence, "Promote Lieutenant Colonel Gerald to battalion commander, the original post remains the same, continue to guard the fortress." β
Ortega suddenly scolded in dissatisfaction, "What the fuck is this bullshit military order, that's it?" "Although you kid was only a captain before, but he has always held the position of battalion commander, how can you be righted this time?" and then Ortega asked again, "So, what happened to that Norman?" "Stay?" "What did you say? Take a good look at it, wouldn't that pig be retained?"
Sheng Xuan slept for three days before waking up leisurely, but he didn't bother to move, still lying on the bed, this is Carl walked in with his arms hanged, looked at him and then looked at Reg who was lying next to him, "The order from the military department has come down." β
Sheng Xuan turned over when he heard this, and Reg just said silently, "Tell the point." "The Fallen Leaf Mercenary Regiment fought bravely, and the regiment commander and deputy regiment commander commanded it properly, assisting Lieutenant Colonel Gerald γγγγ" "I'll let you say the point!" Hearing that Reg was a little impatient, Carl hurriedly said, "I gave a brand, saying that it can be exchanged for points up to the SS level, and another five million gold coins are rewarded." "Hmm. Reg just snorted coldly.
Karl stood there not knowing what to do, and after a while Reg asked, "What to do with that Norman?" Karl couldn't help but look at Shengxuan, and saw that he was still indifferent, as if he was indifferent to all of this, so he whispered, "No reward or punishment, continue to stay in office." β
Regg's heart seems to have been hollowed out all of a sudden, how could it be such an ending? If Norman had opened the city to resist the enemy, I am afraid that there would be no possibility of being besieged by the Calais, and if he commanded decisively, it would not have been possible for the Calais to enter the city and fight bloodily, at the critical moment he did not think about how to resist the enemy, but opened the magic cover to defend to the death, so that Karl cut off the contact with the forward battalion, so that the cavalry charge was dozens of minutes late, and in that fierce battle, a large number of heroic soldiers lost their lives in just five minutes, all of which should be borne by him, but why did the Grand Duke make such a decision?
"Why is this?" Reg couldn't help but start to be confused, it seemed that he really didn't know much about Julio, and only heard Sheng Xuan say coldly next to him, "Although it is useless, it is loyal." β
When Fred returned to camp with the remnants of his army, there were less than 120,000 of the 300,000 troops left, and his heart was extremely heavy, and he only hoped that such a fierce attack would create an opportunity for Lord Upton's sneak attack, but the price was too great.
He sat alone in the tent and began to think carefully about the whole process of this battle, before the cliff fortifications were opened, everything was going very smoothly, and at that moment, the battle took a turn, one man destroyed the magic cover, one person blocked the Calais army for a few minutes, and when Reg and the people appeared, where did they block the charge of the heavy cavalry, and created an opportunity for the cavalry of the forward battalion to charge in a group, could it all be arranged in advance? It was just at the critical moment that the fortifications suddenly appeared, and they had never seen them use them after fighting Omar for so many years, and if it was really a coincidence, then all this was too coincidental.
Now he only hoped that Upton would succeed in the sneak attack, but he didn't have much hope for this sneak attack, because the source was from Omar after all, and although he had sent someone to check it later, he still felt that it would be a conspiracy.
Finally, the next morning, he saw a scarred Upton, and when he saw him, Upton fell off his horse and fainted.
The man who went with Upton to sneak attack hurriedly said" Lord Fred, we have been tricked, although the Duchy of Julio did not garrison in the direction of Shili Pavilion, but when we arrived less than ten miles outside the mercenary city, several mercenary groups suddenly appeared on both sides, where the terrain is narrow, only two or three horses can be used in parallel, after a round of arrow rain, our vanguard lost most of it, Lord Upton saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly led people to rush back, where did he know that the back road had been blocked at this time, our army was attacked from all sides, Lord Upton led people to rush and kill before finally opening a gap and breaking out, the 50,000 army was left with less than 3,000 people, this matter is completely a conspiracy, the news is falseγ β
Fred suddenly sat down in his chair, "Mercenary, why are they mercenaries again?, why are there their shadows everywhere?" Suddenly he seemed to remember something, and suddenly stood up and grabbed the man's neck, "Doesn't we have a thunderbolt mercenary group in Calais?
"My lord, I haven't seen the shadow of the Thunderbolt Mercenary Regiment from front to back, and the Omar people have arranged it so carefully that we have completely fallen into a trap, I'm afraid they have not been spared. Hearing the man's words, Fred slumped in his chair again, muttering in his mouth, "Conspiracy, outright conspiracy, our Gonzas City is finished, and we no longer have the ability to win this war, Lord Upton's plan is completely shattered, how can we explain it to the king? Is it really a full-scale war between the two countries?" If he knew the situation of the Raiden Mercenary Regiment, he would definitely be furious.
