Chapter 476: Stick to the Reason
Although the Central Army of the Empire suffered a loss in the hands of Lin Ye due to the rash advance of the enemy before, it lost one and a half legions, with a total of 3,000 troops. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But the main force of the Imperial Army still exists, and it still has strong combat power, and it is precisely because of the previous defeat that the Rose Legion scolds even harder.
What do you say that the empire is really helping the turtle with a shrunken head, and after being knocked on the head just now, he retracted his head again, and did not dare to come out again.
This made the captains of the Imperial Legion so angry that they gritted their teeth with hatred, and the call for war became louder and louder.
But General Adolf, as the main general, was indifferent to public opinion, and he always patiently waited for an opportunity, which was enough to make a final decision.
When night came, he stood outside the tent to inspect his army, and he was majestic during the day, and with the arrival of night.
In the vast moonlight, he finally showed fatigue, and yes, most of the old fellows of his era had already fallen into the ground.
Even the former Emperor Raymond is gone, and the pillar of the imperial military realm is also gone, leaving only him to survive, he no longer belongs to this era.
He knew that he would soon hear the call of the gods and would soon be gone, but he still had to do before he left.
"General, don't you rest at such a late hour? The wind and cold are very strong at night, and your health is not as good as before, so you should go back early. ”
An officer walked over, he was the commander of the Dragonwing Knights, Doragon, and at the age of twenty-two, he was the youngest of the many legion commanders.
"Is it Doragon? This kind of wind and cold can't help my old bones, I heard that there have been a lot of bad rumors in the army lately, let's hear about it. ”
With his hands behind his back, Adolf patrolled the barracks, accompanied by Doragon, and many soldiers gathered around the fire to keep warm.
After all, the weather has now turned into late autumn, and winter will soon begin, and the clothes they wear are still very thin, which is not enough to protect them from the cold.
"Those rumors are all slandered by people with ulterior motives, general, you don't have to care at all, tomorrow I will go to investigate and investigate the source to clean up. ”
Doragon has great respect for Adolf, and despite his young age, the Dragonwing Knights under his command are already one of the most elite knights in the Empire.
"Actually, if you don't say it, I know, doesn't it mean that my old bones are frightened and dare not confront the weak Rose Legion head-on? I know all this, in fact, I don't want to break the enemy in one fell swoop from the frontal battlefield, and we now have the strength to do so. ”
Adolf sighed softly, he shook his head bitterly, he was constantly slandered by his subordinates, it was naturally impossible to say that he was not sad.
"I believe that you must have other concerns, General, for the sake of the overall situation, no matter what decision you make, General, the Dragonwing Knights will firmly support you. ”
Doragon showed his attitude, this is not a false snake, he is one of the rising stars in the imperial military circles.
He is known as a man who can succeed Landau and Adolf and become the pillar of the new generation of the empire, and has a good reputation in the army.
"Now that the empire is worried about internal and external troubles, the battle between His Royal Highness Rhaegar and His Royal Highness Leo and His Highness Leighton has greatly consumed the military strength within the empire, and the major families within the empire have also begun to wait for the price to sell, with an ambiguous attitude, and the degree of unity cannot be compared with the reign of the previous emperor at all. ”
Despite his old age, Adolf knew better than anyone the situation facing the Empire today, and the situation was not undire.
"Yes, the original empire was strong in military strength, and it was going to overpower the Blue Frost Kingdom in the north and the Dermok Federation in the south, but with this civil strife, not only the two major forces in the north and south, but even the prairie and the alien races in the south were ready to move, which is indeed not good. ”
Doragon nodded, as a soldier he also has a remarkable eye, which is also his unique feature.
"Before the civil strife, the empire could send a hundred legions to fight at any time, how powerful the army was! But now there are only three main parts of the empire left, one of which is the Royal Knights under the command of Ranmarok and the Royal Guard Division, which is the so-called Guards directly under the emperor. ”
Adolf was familiar with the structure of the army, and after the death of Marshal Landau due to illness, his son, Ranmaro, the head of the Royal Knights, took charge of the Guards.
Led two powerful armies by himself, Ranmarok was in the limelight for a while, which also shows how much Rhaegar favored him.
"Although these two armies have only four legions and less than 10,000 troops, their combat power is the highest in the entire empire. ”
Having dealt with these two armies, Doragon knew that both the selection of soldiers and the configuration of equipment were top-notch.
"The second is the border army commanded by His Royal Highness Rennes, which is also the army that has just experienced the baptism of war and won in the civil strife, the border army is about the same size of thirty legions, under the leadership of His Royal Highness Rennes's iron-fisted army, the combat power of the border army is also outstanding, not to be underestimated. ”
Adolf went on to point to the second main army of the Empire, which in a sense was more murderous than the Guard.
"Although His Royal Highness Wren is a member of the royal family, even if he puts aside his status as a prince, he is also one of the most outstanding generals in the empire, and he has the demeanor of His Majesty Raymond, the former emperor, as long as he guards the frontier, the alien race will not dare to make trouble. ”
Doragon was convinced of this, and he had also been in contact with Wren and had a deep impression of his decisive peer.
"And the third main force is the central army that I command now, we have been going south for so long, and we have lost about four legions, that is, there are still twenty-six legions, about fifty-two thousand people, do you know what this means?"
Adolf gave Doragon a deep look, and no one in the entire army except this young man understood his painstaking efforts.
"That means that's nearly half of the Empire's power, but don't we still have a lot of local legions?"
Doragon clenched his fists unconsciously, and he finally immediately refused to march for a long time, and cold sweat began to seep down his forehead.
"Those local legions are all grass on the wall, they only think about their own interests, just like more than twenty years ago, the Aries Dynasty has the military strength of more than a hundred local legions, but in the key battles, these local legions are not only too poor, but also retreat at the slightest disturbance. ”
"As the so-called defeat is like a mountain, if there were no local legions to hold back, the main force of the Aries Dynasty might not have lost so quickly, so the only thing that the empire can really fight now is the border army in the hands of His Highness Rennes, and the legions here, together there are only about 100,000 people. ”
Adolf sighed, at this moment he looked like the notoriously tough veteran of the battlefield, but an ordinary old man.
"Even if we defeat the Rose Clan on a frontal battlefield, we will have to lose at least fifteen legions, so how many of us are left? How many of the Empire's elites are left? What should we do if we encounter an invasion from a foreign enemy? This is a meaningless war at all!"
Adolf revealed the real reason for his reluctance to march.
