190. The Invasion of France by Sibhai - The War of Almac Punishment (4)

After Bass retreated, Reinhardt followed suit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Most of the soldiers who landed at the pier were killed by Balzac, and only a small number followed Bass back to the ship.

This attack by Sibai can be said to be completely bankrupt.

The soldiers who participated in the battle were cheering, but no one was relaxed by this, because everyone understood that the war had just begun, and that the series of battles that had just started was not even a sentinel battle, but at best a warm-up.

Both Almak's side and the Sibai people on the other side understood this, and silently accumulated their own strength.

Shaking off the entanglement of his opponents, he escorted Bass back to his flagship, and Reinhardt was greeted by the middle-aged officer who had taken command of the entire army in his place.

It was a middle-aged nobleman with a serious expression, as if he was wrapped around his body with lingering coercion, and his aura was full.

"Did you just run back?" Lord Reinhardt?"

"Duke of Gaslonia...... Are you here to laugh at me?" asked his men to position the wounded Bass, Reinhardt replied calmly.

"No, it doesn't make sense. The duke from Xibai looked at the young man in front of him who was only half his age, and said lightly: "I just want to tell you the reason for the failure. ”

"I want to hear about it. Reinhardt said.

Under the guidance of the middle-aged nobleman, the two went to the captain's room, and after driving everyone away, Reinhardt and Duke Gaslonia sat down on either side of a table, and the nobleman said, "Do you understand your mistakes?"

"Acting rashly, as a commander-in-chief, but giving up his duties, is this what you want to say?"

"You still don't get it. The middle-aged nobleman sighed: "If you continue like this, you will always be only a hero." ”

Reinhardt's face changed slightly.

The reputation of a hero is good, but without any hole cards to back it up, the so-called good reputation is nothing more than a castle built on the beach, and people can praise Reinhardt as a hero now, then they can kick him off the altar in the same way in the future.

The middle-aged duke continued: "Reinhardt, you are still fighting in the way of a mercenary, with the thinking of a mercenary, this is stupid, now it is not a battle of mercenaries, nor a battle with infidels, but a battle between countries, nobles and nobles, participate in this battle in the way of mercenaries, this is your mistake, if you don't understand the rules, you will never be able to defeat anyone." ”

"The rules, the rules among the nobles?" said Reinhardt quietly.

"In your bones, you simply look down on the aristocracy and refuse to accept things related to the nobility. The duke hit the nail on the head and said, "But don't forget, now that the nobles control this continent, do they want to be enemies of everyone?"

"No, it's not. Reinhardt had to hurriedly state: "I only look down on those nobles who have no talent but steal high positions, not talented nobles like you." ”

"Hmph. The serious middle-aged aristocrat snorted and skipped the topic. And continued: "You have to understand that nobles and mercenaries are different, in the past you only need to keep fighting, because the role you play is just a chess piece on the chessboard, maybe a very important chess piece, but after all, it is a chess piece, without its own thoughts, you can only go with the flow and be manipulated by the chess players behind you." This is who you used to be. ”

"Aristocrat...... Is it a chess player?" the silver-haired hero struggled to keep himself calm as he looked at the older nobleman in front of him.

"Not convinced? Let's take a look at the way the nobles fight. ”

As he spoke, the half-gray-haired middle-aged nobleman took out a document and placed it on the table in front of him.

"Read, read, read. ”

Reinhardt picked up the material in front of him and read it quickly.

The more I looked, the more I was shocked.

"It's ...... Intelligence on the other side??"

In that document, a detailed list of all the French nobles who participated in the war was recorded, including the names of all the participants in the war, including the Duke of Toulouse and the Duke of Oliver, and the name of Philippe Capet as commander of the coalition forces.

Not only that, but also the names and characteristics of the important generals within the coalition army, the condition of the troops, whether they were elite or not, the number of soldiers, the types of troops, and the fact that only the southern principalities participated in the war, and the northern regions were watching from afar.

The information in the data is surprisingly detailed, and this is simply beyond the scope of intelligence, sublimated to the level of a list.

The more Reinhardt looked at it, the more shocked he became, and when he saw the name of the female paladin he was fighting against him, he finally couldn't keep his composure.

"How could there be such a thing! Where did you get it?"

"What do you think, Reinhardt?" the middle-aged nobleman glanced at him and said lightly, "I can be sure that in the hands of those people on the other side, there must also be information about our side, and the level of detail is self-evident. ”

......Reinhardt was speechless for the shock, and what had happened today had turned his notion of war upside down.

"This is the war of the aristocracy, intrigues, unscrupulous, Reinhardt, do you think you can win by simply fighting? ”

"Has the past experience become a burden...... "Looking at the information in his hand, he frowned tightly, and the silver-haired man showed a hint of gloom.

But after a moment, he picked himself up again, took his eyes off the information in his hand, and stared firmly at the person in front of him: "Lord Duke, please tell me what to do?"

"First of all, put away the contempt for the aristocracy. The middle-aged aristocrat said solemnly: "Underestimating an existence stronger than oneself is ignorance and stupidity. Bury your childish ambitions in the deepest part of your heart, and wait until you have the corresponding power before deciding whether to break the seal or not. ”

Seen through, completely, completely seen through, once, Reinhardt only superficially respected this middle-aged aristocrat who was willing to support him, and he always thought that he had successfully used this middle-aged man to compete with the conservative aristocrats. But only now, he realizes that he could not have been more wrong.

Doubts popped up one after another.

Now that he has seen through his true colors, since he is such a shrewd existence, why should the other party accept him, why should he cover himself, why should he do his best to support himself, and even do not hesitate to turn against the huge power of conservatives?

Will the person being used be himself?

Through this aristocrat in front of him, Reinhardt finally understood what a powerful force the life-and-death conservatives who could fight against the military forces he represented, and he felt his own insignificance for the first time.

"Don't worry...... his shoulder was gently patted: "You are still young, this is your capital." ”

With a slightly complicated feeling, Reinhardt paused as he watched the middle-aged nobleman push open the door, and then followed him out of the room.

Let's just take in as much nutrients as possible from this person......

Reinhardt made such a decision. (To be continued.) )
