Duke Aceh looked at Lance and said with a smile: "You young generation are really vigorous in doing things. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info OK, you say. ”

Lance suddenly became serious: "I would like to ask the Duke to send some soldiers to help Menice." Preferably light cavalry. The number of people is around 100. ”

Although Reims knew that the best ratio of forces in Menice should be 100 light cavalry, 200 light infantry, and 200 archers. But the opening of a regular army of 500 people is a bit too exaggerated. It's better to come one step at a time, pick the most important one first, and move forward slowly.

The Duke of Aceh asked with a puzzled smile: "I remember that the first principle of the Magical Kingdom of Michillington is that it will never interfere in the internal affairs and crises of other countries. Why does Monsieur Reims care so much about Ménice?"

Lance hurriedly circled over: "I was just entrusted by my friend Andre to come to Princess Eve for help. Ménice is on the front line against the demons and is also an outpost and gateway to the Plains of Clay. Rivers and gallops converge in Menice. But Ménice now has only 2 regular soldiers, 4 militia members, and 18 conscripts. The line of defense is completely non-existent. If the demon army suddenly attacked, I am afraid that the military fiefdom of Ménice will be useless. ”

"Sir André asked you to come. The Duke of Aceh put aside his doubts, nodded and said, "It seems that Count Clay Eugene still hasn't sent troops." Okay, since you asked, then I had to agree. Although Ménice is not my direct fiefdom, its geographical location is still important. It's no problem to send troops. But why the hussars?"

Lance explains: "I've seen the topography of Ménice. It is bordered by the Dark Forest and the Great Plains of Clay, and the ground is flat and undefendable. As the saying goes, the infantry is in danger, and the cavalry is galloping. Sending a hundred light cavalry to garrison Menise was far better than sending 300 infantry to garrison it. In the event of an accident with Menise, the cavalry could use maneuver to harass them. Cut off the enemy's supply lines, run away after the fight, and slow down the enemy's attack. Buy time for military emergencies and civilian retreats. ”

Hearing this, the Duke of Aceh and the princess Eve on the side were surprised. They didn't expect that this seemingly weak scholar would still understand military affairs.

Especially Princess Eve, because Veronica told her the ins and outs of Lance. Lance's amnesia was also learned. But Lance in front of him was completely as if he had never lost any knowledge. This made Princess Eve curious.

Princess Eve smiled slightly, with the attitude of testing Lance, and threw out a question: "Then why don't you send heavy cavalry? The combat effectiveness exceeded that of the hussars by hundreds of times. Wouldn't that be better?"

"No, guerrilla warfare and sabotage warfare are not suitable for heavy cavalry. Lance seemed to be in a state of excitement all of a sudden:

"Although the heavy cavalry is strong, the charge is terrifying. But in the end, it is only a kind of auxiliary unit, and the scope of use is limited, and it can even be said to be a bit flashy. Heavy cavalry can only work when the infantry corps is firmly pinning down on the enemy's front. And the heavy cavalry is slow, let them carry out the sabotage attack, but they are afraid that they will be quickly caught up by other people's light cavalry, and then killed one by one like a kite. It is better to send more flexible light cavalry. Anyway, if you run after the fight, you don't need how thick the armor is. ”

Princess Eve was also aroused by Lance's interest: "Then you said that a standard army of 8,000 people, what should be the ratio of light and heavy cavalry?"

Without hesitation, Lance blurted out, "4:1." A regiment of 8,000 men was supposed to be accompanied by cavalry on the left and right flanks, 500 men each, 400 light cavalry, 100 heavy cavalry. ”

Princess Eve asked reluctantly, "What about the infantry?"

"The ratio of panacea should be 1,400 archers, 2,400 light infantry, 1,600 heavy infantry, 1,200 pikemen, and 400 crossbowmen. However, the clan size should change depending on the terrain, weather, season, and class of the enemy. ”

"How does it change depending on the terrain?" Eve unconsciously took a step forward, staring at the boy in front of her who surprised her.

Lance also seemed to be completely in a state of excitement, and his speed of speech became faster and faster:

"The number of pikemen and cavalry should be increased in the plains, and the number of heavy infantry and light infantry should be reduced. In hilly areas, the number of all infantry troops, especially archers or grenadiers, should be increased. The swampy and forested areas were completely under the control of archers. The canyon area and passes were home to heavy infantry and crossbowmen. On the high mountains, natural light infantry is king. Coastal rivers, bows and spearmen can be perfectly blocked. But these are dead, and flexible application and change are king. ”

"What about the climate?"

"Don't shoot long distances in strong winds and rains, don't be heavy in mud and heat, don't use cavalry in fog and night, and be ready for cold. But Her Royal Highness!"

Lance knew that Princess Eve and Veronica must have lied to Duke Aceh, saying that they were Eve's old friends, which won Duke Aceh's trust.

After all, when he first entered the city before, Lance was warned by Veronica not to easily talk about the fact that he could speak magic. Now that Duke Aceh has brought it up himself, I'm afraid that there is only one possibility of speculation.

Therefore, if Princess Eve asks again, I am afraid that the Duke of Aceh next to her will wonder if they are friends or not.

So Lance continued: "The restraint of the enemy's troops, this kind of pediatric thing, as an old friend, you don't need to test me again." I know you're trying to make me show myself in front of your father. ”

Looking at the puzzled face of her father, Duke of Aceh, Eve also understood what Lance meant. Hurriedly restrained his somewhat impulsive words, and said with a perfunctory smile:

"Sure enough, you haven't forgotten what you've learned. As an old friend...... I still believe in you. ”

"Sure enough, my daughter lived up to my expectations. The people I met were extraordinary. The Duke of Aceh clapped his hands approvingly and asked a little disbelievingly, "Mr. Lance, are you the battle mage of the Mihirington 'Iris' Legion?"

"Uh...... No. Lance shook his head. Veronica had made the same assumption, but she had been forced to tell a lie, and she couldn't tell a second one. After all, the more lies you tell, the more flaws there are.

"Then how do you understand this. As far as I know, mages and scholars rarely care about classes or military issues. Only the battle mages of the 'Iris' Legion care about this. ”

Lance wiped his nose with his right hand, laughed heartily, and said, "Hmm...... It was all taught to me by Her Highness Eve. Friends, it's inevitable to be subtle, hahaha......"

The main reason is that after Lance lost his memory, he didn't know where he got this knowledge from. Whether he attended a military academy before he lost his memory, or he was a veteran of a hundred battles. In short, this knowledge is in the mind, lingering. When you use it, you can always pop it up on your own.

But it also made Lance a little uneasy. After all, this knowledge always gave him the feeling of stealing valuables that did not belong to him.

"Well, I'm much more relieved that Eve can have a friend like you to help. In the end, only Eve is the most relieved and proud!" With that, the Duke of Aceh stood up, touched his daughter Eve's head, and said with relief, "If only your brother Ferdinand had a tenth of you." ”

Eve also hurriedly explained to her brother: "Father, my brother is not so bad. ”

"You don't have to explain it for him. Alright, you take the Lance Scholar to rest. Duke Aceh turned around, looked at Lance and said, "I agree to send troops, and I will send 100 light cavalry, all under the command of Sir Andrew." Eve will arrange it then. Then the problem of deciphering the demon letter will trouble the Lance scholars. ”

"It's a lot of effort, it's not a hassle. After all, Her Highness Eve and I are old friends. As he spoke, Lance glanced at Princess Eve with a playful smile.

However, Eve said quietly: "Father can rest assured that it will be handed over to us." I believe with the help of Lance. My sister's disappearance will soon come to light. ”
