Chapter 124 Entrusts with important tasks

Although William was not transferred to the Legion Headquarters as the deputy commander, after all, he was promoted to the rank and greatly increased his influence in the Northern Legion.

The 3rd Brigade he transferred to was also the main brigade of the Northern Legion, and its combat effectiveness was stronger than that of the 6th Brigade.

With him in the Northern Legion, there are people above Bernie, and there are backbones promoted by William below.

Even if the new captain wants to be replaced by his own people, it will take a long time to slowly transfer.

After all, there are no vacancies, no mistakes have been made, and it is difficult to easily replace people in the army.

Richard said hello to his third uncle, Bernie, sat in the seat of the commander of the noble coalition army of Heihe County, and looked at the officers beside him, Richard's position was still relatively high.

All the officers for the meeting had arrived, but Jehram and his butler Saville stood at the gate of the city lord's mansion, respectfully waiting for someone.

"The Heihe County Noble Alliance came yesterday, how is the quality?"

Seeing that the commander-in-chief, Duke Roger, had not yet arrived, Jerram quietly asked Savile.

"I looked, Richard still has a big picture, mobilized three main squadrons, and a squadron of Warcraft cavalry. Half of the noble coalition army in Heihe County are elite soldiers. ”

"I wanted to get Richard, but I didn't expect him to transfer elite troops, and I was in a dilemma, I don't know what to do? .

"The Scarlet Trumpet rebelled, and the rebellion was slow to be quelled. At this critical moment, there must be no infighting. The old fox who can't hide it from the royal capital at all when there is a disturbance, and he will definitely be held accountable when the time comes

Besides, Richard's temper is very bad, if we fix him, this person's backlash will probably be very bad. Now we need him to help, don't annoy this person and make trouble for yourself.

I think that the army led by Richard is the most elite, and the logistics should be given priority to replenish him, so that he can not only consume the elite soldiers under Richard's command, but also leave a reputation in the royal capital for taking the overall situation into account. ”

"You're right, a young man like Richard, since I can't afford to mess with him, I might as well praise him, let him fight the rebels, consume his strength, and then make the next step."

While the two were whispering, Duke Roger, the commander-in-chief of the counterinsurgency campaign, rode a unicorn to the provincial consul's residence.

Roger is the younger brother of King Charles and has two titles, one as Duke of the Court and the other as a hereditary earl.

The Duke of the Court, as good as it sounds, needs the trust of the kingdom to wield power.

Moreover, the duke of the court is not a hereditary title, and the title will be reduced in the next generation.

After five generations, the offspring will become ordinary people.

The hereditary count is the real nobleman of the kingdom, and as long as the territory is there, the title can always be inherited.

But it is very difficult to become a great nobleman, kill legends on the battlefield, command a famous victory, and expand the territory of the Grant Kingdom. Or he has made many military exploits and accumulated enough fiefs.

In the past hundred years, there have only been two new earls in the Kingdom of Grant, Roger and Martins.

Although Roger is about the same age as William, his merits are much greater than William's.

Although he is not as famous as Martins, who slew the legend of the orcs, the merits accumulated over the years are enough to become a hereditary earl.

defeated the orc army two years ago, and Roger and the Warcraft cavalry under his command also played a very key role.

This time, the king didn't use Martins to quell the rebellion, but chose Roger, in fact, to let Roger accumulate military exploits, increase prestige, and by the way, make a war fortune and speed up the operation of the territory.

King Charles was rumored to have advocated the appointment of Martins as commander, but the Duke of Breener had advocated the use of Roger.

Duke Brener is over one hundred and eighty years old, and the knightly bloodline of the Grant royal family is a fiery mad lion, and it is not an immortal from the source of the transcendent bloodline.

Even with the use of precious potions, it can last for up to twenty years.

Twenty years later, if Roger can't take the lead, the political structure of the Grant Kingdom may be in trouble.

Duke Jonathan, the dragon-blooded knight, may increase his prestige and suppress the others.

Although there are five legends in the kingdom of Grant, the other three are warriors, and one is also a vassal of Duke Edward.

Legendary warriors do not have bloodline spells, and their combat effectiveness is not much different from that of legendary knights, and it takes two or three to join forces to compete with legendary knights.

Moreover, the lifespan of a legendary warrior is only one hundred and fifty years old, while the legendary knight of the dragon vein can live for three hundred years.

For the next two hundred years, the Grant royal family will also live in the shadow of Duke Jonathan. Once the power of the two families is out of balance, the Grant dynasty is in danger of falling.

Roger said hello to Jerram, then nodded to Savile and entered the venue.

Roger spread out a map, pointed to the Victory City in Canyon County on the map, and said, "According to the secret report, the Scarlet Horn is preparing to hold a large-scale blood sacrifice in the Victory City, hoping to awaken the God of Killing.

The date of the blood sacrifice is set for October 14, the birthday of the god of killing.

In order to prevent the evil gods from awakening early, we must break through the City of Victory and destroy the blood sacrifice ritual of the Scarlet Trumpet before October 14. ”

Hearing this explosive news, Richard was taken aback.

He has been in the Dawn Continent for eleven years, and he has only heard of the Church of the Seven Gods, but he didn't expect that there are evil gods in this plane.

What the hell is going on with the God of Killing, Richard is confused.

After all, Richard's background is very low, and he doesn't know the slightest bit of secretive information.

However, listening to the name of this evil god, it was not easy to provoke at first glance, and Richard was also a little worried in his heart.

Seeing the solemn expressions of the officers present, Roger knocked on the table and said, "The Scarlet Horn cult has a total of six legends. This time, the legendary master of dark magic, Mallo the Nightcrawler, who came to our Grant Kingdom to do something.

But don't worry, the Church of Dawn will send a cardinal Marvila to help us. Marlo is dealt with by the legends of the Church of Dawn, and our mission is to suppress the rebellion and kill the cultists hiding in the country.

I decided to take the two brigades of the Northern Legion and the Royal Knights as the core, and go straight to the rebel base camp Victory City. The Romanshire Nobles Coalition and the Leyte Nobles Coalition fought with the main force.

The alliance of the nobles of Heihe County is strong and can undertake the task of partial division. Reinforcements of Brena County and cooperation with the Breena County Noble Alliance to eliminate the rebels.

After entering County Breenne, Baron Richard served as the commander of the allied forces of the nobles of the two counties. ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done."

Brena County has a large population, almost twice the size of Black River County, with more than a million people. Although the nobles of this county are already in the rear, every time the orcs invade, they will still be recruited to participate in the orc invasion war. Combat experience is not as good as that of Heihe County, but it is better than Canyon County further south.

The hereditary nobility of Brena County has been inherited for many years, and the territory was developed early, and they are generally richer than the nobility of Black River County, and they can support more off-duty soldiers under their command.

Because it was to protect the land, the hereditary nobles of Brenner County did their best. The aristocratic coalition army of this county is much stronger than the coalition army organized by Heihe County, with a total of sixteen squadrons of regular troops and twelve squadrons of auxiliaries. Combined, more than four thousand.

Conventionally, it should be the commander of the Brilliant Noble Coalition as the commander-in-chief, and Richard as the deputy commander of the coalition.

Richard had never met Duke Roger, and he did not expect that he would entrust himself with a heavy task and have an overview of the situation.
