Volume 1: The Fall of the King's Power Chapter 126: Entrustment
Nikolai will never forget that scene, his grand cause was about to succeed, he would become the ruler of the new continent, but it was that sudden light that shattered his efforts for more than ten years, and all the power and power he would gain were lost at that time.
Ever since this happened, he had often woken up in his sleep, and the light shattered all his illusions, so to speak, and it had become his nightmare.
Even though he hadn't seen the light with his own eyes, he had a gut feeling that they were the same!
As he expected, this magical item must be among the Imperial Legions, if he can obtain such magical powersγγγγγγ
"Master Nikolai, what are you thinking about here?" asked Goblin Bobby, standing beside Nikolai on his beloved foal.
Nikolai came to his senses and calmly said to Poppy, "Oh, it's Poppy-sama, I was just thinking about what I can do if we defeat the Imperial Legion?"
Poppy heard Nikolai's answer, and just said where he was good at it, and hurriedly showed off: "Lord Nikolai, you don't have to be in a hurry, I know many acquaintances in the abyss, if you don't want to stay in this world, I can assure you that I can recommend a good job to you." β
Poppy leaned over to Nikolai's side, rubbed his hands together and said, "Well, if you want to get some fat, I'm afraid you need a little treasure to clear up the relationship." If you pay more, I can even transfer you to my family as an errand boy!"
"Yes!" Nikolai nodded thoughtfully, not ignoring Bobby's advice.
After letting the injured goblin retire to recuperate, Toren looked back at the two talking and said, "Don't waste time talking, we have to grasp the fighter plane, let's go now!"
Torun said to Gael beside him, "We have sent out the whole army this time, and I have left only some old and wounded soldiers to guard the royal city, hoping that we can completely defeat the Imperial Legion this time." β
Gael knew that after this attack on the Imperial Legion, the number of the Legion would be drastically reduced, and the coalition would be greeted with a decisive battle of equal strength.
"Let's go!"
The chiefs of the coalition army, large and small, led their warriors towards the plains in front of them, and they could soon reach their destination at the speed of the coalition army's advance.
The figures of the combined forces of the Abyss and the Snow Plains slowly appeared from afar, and the position of the enemy army was the same as the position estimated by the Empress, so the Imperial Legion had already prepared all the defensive measures and waited for the arrival of the enemy army in place.
The coalition scouts also noticed that the Imperial Legion was assembled in the middle of the plain, and they only communicated the location of the legion to the leaders, and the coalition army did not harass the legion in any way, because both sides knew that the battle was about to start, and any small movement would not help, and it was better to accumulate strength before the decisive battle to prepare for the subsequent battle.
The Empress Guard's Dragoon Knights suffered heavy losses in the previous Goblin raids, and almost all of the remaining knights stationed near the Empress Camp were killed, except for the 800 Dragoon Knights who were guarding the camp around the camp.
Russell spontaneously brought his small team to the empress's side and began to guard the work, although there was no major change, but it was a weak force.
Gladys saw Russell leading his troops to support, and called Russell to his side and preached to him: "Russell, now that I am seriously wounded and unable to give orders after the battle begins, I have decided to hand over the command of the Dragoons to you, and you are the current supreme commander of the Dragoon Knights." β
Russell was speechless by the sudden load, and he sorted out the Empress's words before he realized that he had become the head of the Knights.
Luo walked to the Empress's side and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, the Dragoons are your exclusive guard troops, and they should be commanded by you, why do you entrust the position of regimental commander to a young man like me who does not know about war? I think Shani's maid chief is also suitable for such a position!"
Gladys looked at Russell's somewhat worried look, and the corners of her mouth reluctantly pulled a smile and explained: "What do you have to excuse, I don't entrust all the command of the legion to you, only this dragoon with less than a thousand people is under your jurisdiction." Shanenacle is tasked with delivering orders to the entire Legion on my behalf, and I can't afford to waste the seasoned lords who need to lead armies of thousands, if not thousands, of thousands.
Besides, you are too modest, and in these few suggestions you have made to me, I have seen a different side of you, you have strange ideas that ordinary people do not have, and the final result is often beyond my expectations. And I'm safely guarded in the center by an army of more than 100,000 now, and I don't need the protection of less than a thousand dragoons.
I also have another meaning in handing over this order to you, that is, I hope you can use your extraordinary wisdom to turn this army into a strange army, and maybe you can exert a combat power that ordinary people can't do. β
Russell listened to what the Empress said to him, and understood her intentions, and he saluted the Empress and promised: "I, Russell Paul, will lead this army well, and turn it into a strong shield for the Queen's safety." β
The empress watched Russell agree to her request, took out a diamond-shaped badge made of gold from her waist and said: "This is the badge of the head of the Dragoon Knights, I will put it in your hands now, I hope you can lead the dragoons well, and do not let the reputation of this army be insulted in the slightest." β
Russell bent down to take the badge that meant the commander of the regiment, and swore to the empress: "I will lead this army well, and I will definitely live up to your expectations." β
