Shared knowledge is something precious.
It's like before the collapse of some empires, everyone didn't seem to have much troops to speak of. But once the empire really collapses, a large number of warlords who have heard and unheard of will spring up on the land, and a large number of people can be pulled up casually.
It's as if these armies had grown out of the ground.
And Mennon Kuhoun sneered at this statement.
"Oh, look at your righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Shane. I don't know if you think you have nothing to do with the merchant's association, and you don't use them as slaves for the civilians who captured tens of thousands of people in Sintra? ”
"You can just say it." Sir Shane narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to see his joy or anger.
"I am the dog raised by the Merchants' Association, because of their operation I can go to military school, and then climb to this position by virtue of military merit, and I am fortunate to be by your side. But this does not contradict my loyalty to the Empire. ”
"Therefore, even if you slander the association behind me, I will not give up what I should do."
As if he were about to do something very stressful, Sir Shane took a deep breath and continued: "I now apply to strip Field Marshal Mennon Kuhoun of command in this war on the grounds of fear of the enemy and a passive tactic in the course of battle. ”
There was a dead silence as soon as these words came out, and even the uninterrupted movement in the quarrel stopped.
Is he dizzy? Coming down to the battle?
Even if Marshal Mennonite Kuhoun was taken to the command, the situation of the war had irretrievably slipped into 'defeat'.
With the exception of Menno Cuhorn himself, all the staff officers and commanders, including Frigila Vigo, looked at Shane as if they had seen a ghost.
But Shane himself was calm, for he dared to impeach the marshal at this juncture not by virtue of his prestige in the army. It's about tangible benefits.
"Guys, I'll just get to the point."
Shane's fierce eyes, like wolves of the end, scanned his colleagues.
"The status of the army depends on its deterrence and combat effectiveness. And we all know how valuable our reputation for invincibility is. ”
"I know that behind everyone there are people, or families, or various trade associations like me. There's nothing to be ashamed of, I was brought up by the Slave Traders Association. I think there are even people who have been promoted by the General Association of Merchants, right? ”
"And we all know that the status of an imperial officer gives us a high social status, but the real money and enjoyment are prepared for us by the people behind us."
"The more excellent and self-motivated we are, the higher we will climb in the army, and the more effective the army will be, the higher the empire will attach importance to the army, and the people behind us will give us more benefits because of this. Because our 'price code' rises with the army. ”
"Nothing to be embarrassed to admit! That's why the great imperial army is invincible! ”
Shane opened his arms and shouted to all his colleagues.
"But if! What if our army is defeated? How much has our importance and importance been diminished?! ”
Speaking of this, Shane's tone was low, even sinister.
"I don't think we're irreplaceable in the eyes of the gang behind us, right? They have helpers in business, they have helpers in politics, and these helpers need their long-term 'investment', and their own assets are not unlimited. ”
"'Investment', there will always be tendencies and trade-offs. Who should take more? Who should take less? ”
"I think we must have all done it to other people who were 'invested' by the same people, right? In order to get more 'investment'. Now think about it, if the army is defeated, will the others beat the water dogs? Or reach out? ”
With Shane's words, many staff officers and commanders who had not taken his proposal to heart began to have strange looks in their eyes.
Fringilla had been standing silently on the edge, but her face turned pale involuntarily when she was swept by Shane's gaze.
She could hear what the group meant.
These high-ranking officers of Nilfgaard did not want to give up their social status and the extravagance they enjoyed because of the invincibility of the army.
That's why we have to fight and win!
And who will pay for it?
No one seems to care about this issue.
"But we can't win." Facing Menno Kuhoun, who had never spoken, he said in a tired tone at this time.
He stared into Shane's eyes.
"The command system has been messed up, and before we had a command system, the array that was originally arranged on dozens of square kilometers of land was also involved in a mess by that witcher! What is the result of an army without an array fighting an army with an array? Can you tell me? ”
"When I finish impeaching you, this order will be issued by me alone, and I will bear the consequences alone." Sir Shane said.
"Besides, it is not necessarily impossible to win, in the early command advantage, the northern army was defeated by us, and it is not optimistic that their front will recover to anything, and as long as we launch a counter-charge, everything will be fine! The Nilfgaard army is unbeatable! ”
These words seemed to dispel all the concerns of the rest of the people present, after all, if you fail, someone will take the blame, so what is there to hesitate?
So in silence, the arms were raised in turn, and the mouths voted 'agree' in turn.
Command is thus transferred reasonably and legally.
Shane's first order was for Frigila to pass on the order to prepare for a counter-charge one last time, and then for the sorceress to leave immediately.
This group of them are all elites in the army, and after realizing that they have been tricked by Lan En in terms of intelligence, the tactical logic is reversed, and the suspicion of warlocks is immediately raised.
It's not that the Imperial Warlock will tell the enemy, but maybe the Warlock will be the beacon of that witcher.
Frigila had already turned pale and wanted to slip away. The struggle for power within the army that is only between words, and this is another horror that is different from facing the hunt of the witchers!
So she bowed her head and accepted the order without saying a word.
Telepathy carried the message out, and she herself endured the nausea of frequent spell casting, and once again opened a brief portal to leave.
Menno Kuhoun's back seemed to be bent in an instant, and the commander, who was still rational in the midst of Ran's rush of killings, suddenly lost his spirit.
He just stared at Shane with bloodshot eyes.
"There was no pre-arrangement, wartime command, only a counter-charge under an order. You're going to send these 50,000 soldiers to their deaths! That's 50,000 regular troops of the Nilfgaard Empire! It's Nilfgaard! ”
"For the sake of honor, and for the dignity of the empire."
Shane's tone is simply holy and tragic, like a patriot who is determined to throw everything into it and give it up.
"We must keep northerners and the world in fear!"
