No matter where you are, it's hard to do something like sending charcoal in the snow, but everyone wants to do the icing on the cake.

The Eastern Route Army originally only had ten 500-member constructed swordsmen's regiments, which means that the Eastern Route Army's constructed swordsmen originally only had 5,000 people, and almost all of these constructed swordsmen were Edmond. The Marquis of Arnold's Alliance Lords' Army was an elite unit, but when the Lords of Bena City learned that the commander of the Eastern Route Army was Edmund. Immediately after the Marquis of Arnold, there were more than a dozen swordsmen who wanted to join the Eastern Route Army.

Passed by Edmond. The selection of the Marquis of Arnold determined that another ten constructed swordsmen officially joined the Eastern Route Army, so the number of constructed swordsmen in the Eastern Route Army was just 10,000 when they set out.

At the same time, the Eastern Route Army also has 10,000 archers and 30,000 cavalry, which makes the combat power of the Eastern Route Army a grade higher than that of the Western Route Army in terms of troop matching.

The living room of the Hook Mansion is very gorgeously decorated, and the sofas in the meeting area are all soft magic antelope leather, and the leather sewn on these sofas is very complete, and the complete pattern of the fur on the demon antelope can be seen through the sofa.

Edmond. The Marquis of Arnold sat on the main seat of the sofa, staring at the map of Handanar on the coffee table with eagle-like eyes, and sat there without saying a word.

The liaison officer from the Bednar Regiment next to him was already talking dryly. Marquis Arnold handed him the teacup on the small table next to the sofa, and the liaison officer quickly took a large sip before proceeding to explain the distribution of the forces of the Bednar Legion.

Surdak discovered that at least 80,000 of the 300,000 troops of the Bena Legion were pinned down by the Demon Legion in the mountains around Moyun Ridge, and that 140,000 cavalry were guarding the eastern bank of the Kempatomos River. The rest of the army was scattered in various strongholds and fortresses in Handanar County.

In addition to the Bona Legion, there were nearly 200,000 lords scattered in the province of Bunnar in Handanaar County.

That is, before the arrival of Surdak's reinforcements, there were nearly 500,000 Bednar troops in Handanaar County on the Warsaw plane, but these Bednar troops have always been trapped in Handanar County, although this county is rich in land and resources, but the largest piece of land is the large meadow in the northwest, and there are mountains in the north.

Although these abundant lands and forests are also high-quality resources, they can quickly bring a lot of economic benefits through large-scale mining like mines.

In other words, the financial revenue of Handanaar County in the Warsaw plane cannot feed the nearly half a million troops of the Bena Legion, and almost every quarter it has to buy food from the southern provinces of the Grimm Empire and ordnance from the province of San Carlos to maintain the daily wear and tear of the army on the Warsaw plane.

Especially in recent years, the situation in the Warsaw plane has deteriorated, a large number of nobles have withdrawn from the Warsaw plane, and the economic situation of Handanar County has deteriorated.

Surdak couldn't understand why Duke Newman was still here when the Warsaw plane had rotted like this.

If the Burna Legion had returned sooner, perhaps the gains would have filled the hole in the Warsaw plane.

Just when Surdak was puzzled by this, the liaison officer waved away the attendants and adjutants in the hall, leaving only the five heads of the council area, and then said to Surdak and the others:

"When the Duke first went out to conquer Warsaw, he had an agreement with Duke Ryan that the Bednar Legion only managed the county of Handanaar, and a contract was made."

Surdak glanced at the others, and there was surprise in their eyes, apparently having just heard about it.

The liaison officer then added:

"The Duke also thought about giving up the Warsaw plane, but then insisted on not giving up Handanaarshire, one of the reasons he heard that Duke Ryan had accidentally fallen off his horse on the battlefield and injured his neck."

"I thought Duke Ryan wouldn't last long, but I didn't expect that more than two years had passed, and he was still lying on the sickbed......"

"Although he only had his last breath left, he did not die."

The ordinary-looking liaison officer said such a secret, which made several people present like people eating melons, and everyone's eyes fell on the liaison officer's face.

"Your consciousness...... Does this mean that once Duke Ryan dies and the magical contract signed between Lord Duke Ryan and Duke Ryan is nullified, we will have reason to send troops to recover the other counties? "Edmund. The Marquis de Arnold made the most crucial point.

The liaison officer nodded slightly, then added:

"It is estimated that the Duke will need to sign a Warsaw Plane War Agreement with the incoming Duke Quentin, and if Duke Quentin wants to get the support of the Province of Bena, he must give up part of the interests of the Warsaw Plane, and this cake is only the Province of Bena, but it can't be eaten, and there should be the Grand Dukes of other provinces to join at that time."

Louis of the Logistics Department. Quartermaster Fitch was also a little dumbfounded at the moment, and said to the liaison officer, "That means it's not just Quentin now. Bussman was waiting for the old Ryan to die and inherit the title, and the entire province of Ewalson and several other archdukes who had an alliance with the Bessman family were also waiting for the news of Duke Ryan's death......"

"That's about it." The liaison officer nodded, and then said, "This time, we Bednar Legion are destined to have a head start. ”

After saying that, he took out a scroll from his magic belt, on which was rubbed a simple map of Handanar County, but it was clearly marked with two red arrows, although Surdak had not been to the War College, but he could still understand the arrows on the map.

The liaison officer's eyes fell on Edmund. Marquis Arnold, he pushed the unfolded scroll to Edmund. In front of the Marquis Arnold, Masase said:

"According to the battle plan developed by Duke Newman and the operational command of the Bednar Corps, this time Edmund . . . Marquis Arnold will lead the Eastern Route Army to the lower reaches of the Moss River to the Biramos Ferry, from where you will cross the Moss River to the northeastern part of Kornberg, where most of Kornberg is currently occupied by the Demon Legion, and you will need to go south to capture the North Pass of Grey Raven Ridge......"

"Okay, I'll camp on the edge of the ferry and wait, and I'll prepare the materials for the pontoon bridge in advance." Edmond. Marquis Arnold squinted his eyes and looked at the map of the area on the coffee table, as if he wanted to know the situation in the area between the Moss River and the Crow Ridge.

The liaison officer did not continue, but turned to Surdak and said, "Count Surdak, you are going to lead the Western Route Army to the north of the Great Meadow to establish a new camp, and when the Eastern Route Army and the Bednar Army are all over to capture Kornberg, what you need to do is to resist the demon army rushing down from the direction of Moyun Ridge......"

Surdak didn't expect to go around and around, and this time he led the Western Route Army to actually return to the battlefield on the side of the forest camp.

Out of his understanding of the demon warriors, he did not want to set the battlefield in a large meadow, if he had a choice, Surdak preferred the battlefield to be in the woodland of the mountains, the demon warriors were tall, and burrowing into the forest would prevent them from exerting their strongest combat power.

Surdak had a different opinion about building the camp in the northern part of the Great Meadow, so he looked up from the silence and said to the liaison officer, "Can I set up the headquarters in the woodyard camp?" ”

The liaison officer frowned and said, "This is too close to Moyun Ridge, once the demon legion on Moyun Ridge is concentrated and rushes down, it will be difficult for your infantry to avoid the demon legion." ”

Surdak said without even thinking about it: "The army I brought over is basically a heavy infantry regiment, I plan to block the demon legion of Moyunling in the mountains, if the command post is too far away from the frontline battlefield, it is not conducive to commanding the battle, and I don't plan to give them a chance to rush out of Moyunling this time." ”

“……”

The liaison officer stared at Surdak for a moment, and finally compromised:

"Well, I'll tell the Duke what you think."

He then looked at Surdak several more times before he said seriously:

"This time we are going to occupy Kornberg, instead of continuing to expand north, the mountains over there are of little use to us, so as long as your western army can hold the front of the forest camp, then the Bena army on this side will be transferred to the battlefield in Kornberg......"

This liaison officer had a deep understanding of this battle and gave a detailed account of the battle plans of the eastern and western armies.

"Two commanders, all you have to do now is to bring the army to the designated area, and then go to the command post of the Bena Legion and work with the Duke to finalize the details of the next battle plan."

Finally, the liaison officer asked Louis. Quartermaster Fitch asked:

"How long will it take for supplies from the Logistics Department of the Bena Military Department to reach Epson?"

Louis. Quartermaster Fitch said without hesitation: "There are still two days left before the delivery date set with the southern grain merchants. ”

After the liaison officer finished explaining the last thing, he got up and said to everyone: "Okay, two commanders, I have important things to do next, so I will leave Epson City first, and look forward to our cooperation ...... next."

Surdak and Louis. Quartermaster Fitch was more familiar, and looking at the back of the liaison officer leaving, Surdak asked in a low voice, "Who is that person?" ”

"The most trusted follower of the Duke and the chief staff of the Duke ......"

Louis. Quartermaster Fitch whispered to Surdak.

"Louis. Quartermaster Fitch, you see that I brought an extra 50,000 soldiers and ants this time, you must help me solve the logistics materials, there are no other requirements, but I need food that can feed the 50,000 soldiers and ants. Their recipes are very, very extensive, and they eat everything...... "Surdak took the opportunity to talk to Louis. Quartermaster Fitch chatted.

"Hey, you're going to give the military department a problem, I want to find a way to ...... this."

Louis. Quartermaster Fitch said with a sigh.
