Chapter 125: The Pre-War Conference

After the pre-war meeting, Richard received a batch of supplies.

What is surprising is that this batch of supplies has a complete range of varieties, and there is no deduction.

In addition to grain and grass, there are clothes, shoes and socks, pots and pans.

Richard also received a batch of weapons, spears, heavy swords, all kinds of quality, the quality is not bad, there is no rust, and you can use it when you take it back.

Savile, the butler of the Archon of Jerram, also came to the Richard barracks in person and brought sixty pieces of chain mail, one hundred iron helmets, three enchanted crossbows, and ten bursting arrows.

directly singled out that this batch of equipment was purchased by Archon Jellam, hoping that Richard would put aside his prejudices and work together to eliminate the rebels as soon as possible.

Richard divided this batch of equipment with Baron Sharp, and of course, the more precious materials such as chain mail, iron helmets, enchanted crossbows, and burst arrows were all equipped in his own descendants.

Although the rebels entered the county of Breennes, the county town of Osma was still in the hands of the coalition of the nobles of Grena.

It is about eighty kilometers from Leyterburg to Osma.

There is also a military station along the way to rest. Richard was ready to spend three days rushing to Osmar Castle.

After wrapping the leggings, the serfs made it easier for the serfs to hurry, especially when marching in the jungle, and the leggings had a very good effect.

Although this small piece of equipment is inconspicuous and inexpensive, it is very useful in war, avoiding scratches on the legs and promoting the circulation of blood in the legs.

With the assistance of leggings, plus the improvement of will, physical strength, and organization system, in the next three days, the coalition army of the nobles of Heihe County easily came to Osma City.

Seeing the reinforcements coming, it didn't look like a serf soldier with inferior combat effectiveness, there were hundreds of cavalry to help, and there were dozens of Warcraft war horses combined, and the nobles of Brenner were also very happy.

After entering the city, Richard first settled the soldiers, and then rushed to the city lord's palace with a few barons, ready to meet the main officers of the Breenne aristocratic coalition and listen to the real thoughts of the front-line officers.

The soldiers were settled, the officers were informed, and after a little busyness, night had fallen.

The light in the room dimmed, and Richard lit two candles in the tent, which burned silently, the flames flickering.

The candlelight is projected on the wall, reflecting a criss-cross of light and shadow.

After waiting for less than an hour, all the officers of Osma Castle came to the venue.

Adelais, the mayor of Breena County, was also present in person, looking a little disheveled, presumably fooling around with his lover, and received a summons from Richard, and hurried over to the meeting. There was still a little displeasure on his face.

Seeing that most of the people had arrived, Richard took out the letter of appointment signed by Duke Roger, read it out, and circulated it to everyone.

"Duke Roger has appointed me as the Commander of the County of Breennes, with full command of the noble coalition of the two counties. Whether you are satisfied or not, the order has been given, and as a soldier you must obey the military order.

For those of you who are not here today, I would like you to inform you that if you don't come to the meeting next time, I will ask him to pay a generous fine. ”

In the Kingdom of Grant, the status of nobles was naturally different from that of commoners.

Richard could make an example of serf soldiers, kill them through harsh military law, and intimidate them into obeying orders.

But for nobles with titles, it is not easy to kill.

Unless you have caused serious damage, you can kill a nobleman with a knighthood.

After the war, he was also questioned by the Council of Nobles about the necessity of killing hereditary nobles.

Not to mention Richard, even if he is a commander-in-chief like Duke Roger, unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not easily use a knife against hereditary nobles.

"I've just arrived at the front and I don't know much about the enemy, so I'll ask the officer from County Breyna to tell me about the enemy."

After Richard finished speaking, he stared at the noble officers in Brena County, only to see Baron Plani stand up, point to the simple map on the desk, and speak: "After the rebels entered Brena County, they have already broken through two baronies. Recently, we have detected signs of a massive build-up of rebels, and it seems that they are trying to attack the city of Osma. ”

"What about the strength of the rebels?"

"Most of the rebels are a rabble. But the cultists' blood-colored horns cannot be underestimated, and there are a small number of elite soldiers.

In addition, there is a blood boiling potion within the rebels, which is used by some cultists before each battle.

After using the Blood Boiling Elixir, the cultist soldiers immediately became furious and furious, and their physical strength would be tripled, and they could already compete with elite veterans and even professionals.

We also captured a few potions of boiling blood, and found that the potion only worked for half an hour, enough to fight a shorter war.

There are also serious sequelae of using potions, and the potions will draw a part of the power of the source of life. After using the boiling blood potion, the physical fitness of the soldiers will be seriously reduced, and the strength and physical strength of some people are not even comparable to that of adult women.

The soldiers who take the Boiling Blood Elixir, we call them Boiling Blood Converts, these people are very explosive, and when they encounter a large number of Boiling Blood Converts, it is difficult for us to win in a head-on battle. ”

"Have you ever caught the Scarlet Horn Cultist?"

"Some have indeed been caught, and through the interrogation of the priests of the Church of Dawn with divine magic, we know that the cultists in the Scarlet Horn are divided into five classes.

At the highest level is the cult leadership, with a total of six popes, high priests, and four cardinals. Now coming to our kingdom of Grant is Cardinal Mallo the Night Walker.

Below the leadership are the high priests and cardinals. The man who now commands the rebels in County Brena is Cardinal Gollivan.

The third level is the local bishop, who is responsible for managing the cult activities in a certain area, usually by a third- or fourth-order cultist. The reason for the outbreak of rebellion in Canyon County was that more than ten years ago, the cultists of the Scarlet Horn carried out missionary activities.

The fourth level is the missionaries, these people are the basis of the cult Scarlet Horn cult, and they carry out the orders of the upper echelons. Responsible for conducting various religious ceremonies, prayers, missions, and other activities, and supervising the behavior of other believers.

Generally speaking, cultists are secretive missionaries, and it is difficult for outsiders to blend in.

The lowest level is the ordinary believers, and these people have a lot of fanatical believers. It is believed that after death, you can enter the kingdom of the god of killing and gain eternal life.

Most of the people who took the initiative to take the boiling blood potion and caused us to fight unfavorably were these people. ”

After listening to Baron Plani's introduction, Richard immediately sensed the seriousness of the situation.

If the cost of refining the Blood Boiling Elixir is not high, the Blood Horn can create a large number of fanatic soldiers.

The impact of these fanatical soldiers is a few points more powerful than that of the orc army.

Consider a few thousand cultist soldiers, all of whom have professional combat power, and launch a charge at the same time, albeit for a shorter duration and slightly better equipped, enough to crush a main legion.

If you want to deal with this kind of explosive cultists, you can only use the Warcraft cavalry, which has the characteristics of long-range combat and fast speed, no wonder the aristocratic coalition army in Brenner County was so happy to find that Richard was reinforced with Warcraft cavalry.
