Volume II, Chapter 84
"What's the situation?" I looked at the nervous ensign gently, "Don't rush, speak slowly." β
"That's the sir. Hearing my reassurance, Rock smiled at me: "According to the order of our battalion commander, I asked the ten squad leaders to explain military law to them first...... Also, they are in good health, but they don't know how to fight. β
"How can you not fight?"
"Yes, sir. The rock said, "They don't seem to have any training......
"That's ......" I saw Wen and a magician coming to my side, and knew that they had something to report to me, so I said to the rock, "Second Lieutenant, go back and gather your troops to report to me, and tell your sir, this is the order of Chief Cohen." β
"Yes!" the rock walked away, carrying the mace.
"Sir. Wen walked up to me and said, "According to the elven magician, there are two magicians and a knight on the three griffins, and they are all relatively powerful characters. β
"Leave this alone now. I shook my head: "Wen, I have a question. β
"What?"
"Can you see the passage when you fly into the sky?"
"You can see it......"
"Then why...... The three griffons didn't react at all when they flew in?" I said, "Don't you think it's strange that the path and altitude of their flight have never changed?"
"I ......" Wen immediately reacted: "I'll fly up and take a look." β
I nodded, and Wen Shu spread his wings and slowly rose into the sky. I stared at him. One rises to the altitude just now when the griffon flew. Wen began to shake his head. As the altitude increased, he shook his head more and more.
Wen who came straight down looked very confused, and almost opened his mouth to curse.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
"I can't see, I can't see the passage ......at all," Wen said: "As soon as you are about five bodies above the canopy, you can't see the passage at all, and you can't even hear the sound!"
"Go to SΓΉ Carlos and let the troops march with a swagger. I said, "Tell him to come later." β
"Yes!"
"Magician. I looked at the elf and said, "What do you want to tell me?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. The elf said, "A dozen of our mages have unanimously decided that the two enemy mages on the griffin are not from the Demon Alliance. They are supposed to be from the Dark Demon Temple. β
"You mean to say that these scouts belong to the Dark Temple?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. I think they will come back. β
"What do you think about the fact that they can't see the passage in the air? Could this be some kind of magic?"
"Your Excellency, we are not aware of any fluctuations in magic. The elf said, "It doesn't look like magic, or it's a different kind of magic, but we've never heard of it...... Excuse me. β
"It's not your responsibility, you don't have to blame yourself. I nodded and said, "Go and rest." β
The elf departed, but I was lost in thought: I couldn't explain how the enemy in the air couldn't see the passage, but it was a good thing. I don't have to worry too much. What worries me is the identity of the enemy mage from the Dark Demon Temple, which directly shows how much the enemy army values me......
And beyond this dense forest. What could be waiting for us? Before I could figure things out, Carlos came from the front.
"Sir. Carlos said, "Are you looking for me?"
"Sit down, I have something to tell you. "I found a place to sit down on the side of the road, but I was more interested in finding a chance to give him a break, because now Carlos not only had to manage the day-to-day affairs of the army, but also shouldered the liaison with the various refugee tribes, and he was running around all day, so busy that even the guards around him were tired.
"I heard there's a fight in the back?" Karos asked, "It's okay, right?"
"It's all settled. I told him the whole thing, and said, "Now, we can be sure of one thing, that is, we are safe in this passage." β
"Yes. β
"Then we have to face the next problem. I said, "We don't know what's going on outside the forest, but it's true that the canyon is blocked and there are enemies ahead." We don't know what their arrangements are, and our troops have suffered a lot of losses, and the new recruits have not received any training to deal with the dangerous situation. β
"Sir, when you say this, we do have a lot of problems. Carlos smiled bitterly: "The surviving soldiers also have to rest, the weapons and equipment of the new soldiers have to be redeployed, the soldiers and officers must get acquainted with each other, and it takes time for the units to run in with each other......"
"It is for these reasons that I want the troops to stay in the passage for a few days. I made my decision: "If we don't show up, on the one hand, we can let the Demon Coalition evacuate on their own because they can't find us, and on the other hand, we will have enough time to scout the environment, and we can also use this time to conduct assault training for the soldiers." β
"In that case...... Sir, how many days are you going to stay?"
"I think it's ten days at most. I looked at Carlos and said, "Is it logistically secure?"
"Yes, I'm about to report on the logistics. Speaking of logistics, Carlos's feelings suddenly rose a little: "Sir, you would never have imagined it...... We found more food in front of us, and in addition to all kinds of fruit trees, there were several large lakes with a lot of fish in them!
"You're welcome Carlos. I smiled: "Just treat it as something in your own home, just use it." β
"Hehe......" Carlos remembered something: "If the circular clearing next to the passage does not disappear, these things may be useful in the future, and I want to leave some people to take care of them here." β
"No problem, then it's decided, you send the order. I said, "And one more point Carlos, you don't have to be too detailed, we need to find more managerial talents, and we need to give other officers in the staff a chance to show themselves." β
"Yes, sir!" Karos nodded, "I'll take care of it." β
"I want you to divide the staff into sections. I thought for a moment: "The Operations Division is responsible for drawing up the battle plan. The Intelligence Division is responsible for the collection and screening of war reports. The Training Division is responsible for all kinds of training of the troops. The Logistics and Equipment Division is responsible for the deployment of logistics supplies and armaments, and the Liaison Division is responsible for liaison with the clans. The heads of the divisions are directly responsible to you, and I only need you to manage the big aspects in them, and the specific affairs should be delegated. β
"Yes, sir!"
"A person's energy is always limited. I whispered, "Don't wear yourself out." β
"Yes, sir. Carlos also replied softly: "That...... I'm a little busy now, but I'm very busy. β
"I'm also happy to have a good assistant like you. I stood up and said, "Go ahead and arrange it!"
"Farewell to the official!"
Look at the departing figure of Carlos. I know why he's happy - we're all alive and well now, and now it's time when our opponent should be happy.
We won...... It's a victory between life and death, those dead enemy soldiers, they should be very depressed, right?
I came to my mount and took out a large stack of documents from the bag next to the saddle, these things came from the camp of the Demon Alliance, and they were some official documents and reports from the Demon Alliance, because it was not very important tactical information, so I hadn't looked at it properly, and now I finally had some time.
There is an order from the Demon Coalition Army Headquarters to end the battle as much as possible. There are also reports of meritorious service for those who stood out in the battle of Tucheng. One of the half-written reports caught my attention, a receipt of an order from the Demon Coalition to their military headquarters.
β...... There is about the military department to take the enemy commander Cohen. Kaida's request to be captured and sent to the Demon Temple. It's really hard for me to do that. Judging from the battles between our troops and the Phantom Army over the past few days, the enemy commander is tactically flexible, and the enemy unit has a tough style and can capture Cohen alive. Major General Al Qaida has a slim chance......"
I'm not surprised that they wanted to capture me alive and take credit for it, but where did they learn my name? Even if I'm a major general, it's clear that I'm a major general?
This is impossible...... Before the siege of Tucheng, all of my soldiers were from the Ninth Legion of the Divine Alliance, and none of them were captured in the Battle of Kamp. Is it my officers who colluded with the Demon Alliance inside and outside? This is even more impossible, in these days of fighting in the Demon Alliance, the whereabouts of my officers are all under my control, and they want to exchange information with the Demon Alliance...... That's easier said than done!
The source of intelligence for the enemy army can only fall on a certain senior commander of the military headquarters of the Divine Alliance, and no matter how strong my control ability is, it can only be within my troops and the Dark Province, and I will be powerless to go beyond these two ranges, let alone the military department with complex personnel.
I've also heard about the hidden intelligence system of the Demon Alliance, and it is likely that these people got information from a senior commander of the Demon Alliance, and thus learned about the situation of my unit...... In this way, it is not surprising that the enemy army has devised a suitable plan for my characteristics and has a sufficient number of troops to encircle and annihilate me......
I sneered in my heart, whether the person who leaked the news intentionally or unintentionally, he had better not let me find out, if the day comes out - I must let him die an ugly death!
This 10-day battle caused heavy casualties to my troops, and I worked hard to lose a small half of the army that had been trained by the army training methods of the previous life, in just 10 days! Or in the eyes of other commanders, the death of more than 20,000 soldiers was nothing, but in my opinion, it was all fresh life, so many lovely soldiers......
If it weren't for the last-minute change in the tide of the battle, if it weren't for the rebellion of the opposing slave army under the persecution of the form, my entire army would have to be finished......
Wait, how did I never think about it...... With all the experiences I have from my past lives, I can't be invincible in this world!
As early as the last time Marshmallow rescued me, she reminded me to pay attention to the integration of my past life and this life, but I kept clinging to the little thing from my previous life and refused to let go......
I'm stupid! Cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and I realized that I was stupid!
My personality is as flamboyant and aggressive as in my previous life, so much so that I have done so many things that are out of the ordinary, and I have not restrained my own character, how can a person who is out of step with the whole world be inconspicuous? and I have made too many enemies in the coalition army...... Of course someone wants me dead!
In his previous life, his opponents were just gangsters. But now I'm facing powerful characters like nobles from various countries, coalition generals, and priests of the Demon Temple. Among them are idiots. But there must be a lot of great people! They are completely different from my opponents in my previous life, and I am still dealing with them the old way......
These are two completely different environments, and I don't know how to work around...... Rather than putting the blame on the person who betrayed me, it is more of my own making...... In this world, there are scum who will betray me everywhere, as long as the price is right, some people are willing to sell themselves, why haven't I realized this for a long time?
Yes. That's it......
I am in the gang because I have the power to be the backstage, of course, I can run rampant. But, even if I have the support of power, in the end, I will be discarded like garbage? It can be seen that my character will not work anywhere......
But if I give up the memories and ways of dealing with my previous life, what else can help me? How will these things change? I have no experience of fighting against real power!
I...... I......
How exactly should I blend my past and present lives?
The more I thought about it, the more chaotic it became, and my mind was quickly and messily calculating, slowly twisting into a paste......
Two shadows vaguely appeared in my mind, one was the arrogant gangster in the previous life, and the other was a good baby in this life with a smile, and they stood opposite each other. It's like they're arguing about something......
I can't hear, I can't hear anything......
The thugs had already pulled something out of their arms. He is smiling and walking towards the good baby......
I tried to stop it, but I couldn't speak......
"Sir, sir?" someone was shaking me: "Sir!"
"Huh, what?" I looked up, and one of my guards was looking at me nervously, "What's the matter?"
"Are you alright, sir?" said the guard, "You're in a daze, and you're sweating a lot......"
"It's okay, I'm thinking about things, it's a little hotter here......" I wiped the sweat from my forehead, although I was startled by my state just now, but I still asked lightly: "Are you okay?"
"Yes, sir. The guard said, "There was a second lieutenant named Rock who came with a group of soldiers, and he said that you had called him to report for duty." β
"This is my order. I nodded and stood up: "Where is he?"
"Rock Lieutenant, come here!" shouted the guard behind him, "The chief wants to see you!"
"Yes!" a tall figure ran out from the other side of the passage and came towards me through the marching troops, and it was indeed rock.
"Ensign Rock has been ordered to arrive!" Rock stood straight beside me and said loudly, "Ten squads of 100 people under him report to the commander!" It can be seen that the armor he is wearing has also been carefully wiped, and the whole person looks energetic.
"Hehe......" His serious look made me laugh.
"Sir, what do I ...... Is there anything wrong with me?" he was a little overwhelmed.
"No, your qiΔ is very good. Because the orcs are tall, I can only pat him on the arm: "Remember to wash your face next time." β
"Ahh
"No need to wipe it. I said, "Take me to your soldiers."
"Yes, sir. They're all over there. "Because of the smudges on the face, the rubbing of the rock's face ended in failure, and now one face is even more colorful.
"Rock, what do you soldiers do?" I asked, unimpressed, as I walked.
"Report to sir, they won't get much. Rock thought for a moment: "While preaching military law, we spent a day teaching them some queue routines. β
"Some?" I paused, "You know there's a circular clearing two miles away?"
"Yes, sir. We passed by there when we came. β
"I'll wait for you there. As I spoke to the rocks, I beckoned to the guards to lead the horse: "You and the troops should arrive in the shortest possible time, show me the drill!"
"Yes!"
By the time the rock answered me, I had mounted my horse and galloped out with my guards.
In a few moments, I was already there.
The clearing, the size of a town, was about six miles in diameter, with several small rivers in between. One side was used to house tribal refugees and the wounded, while the other half was almost empty.
I stopped in a large flat clearing, and after a short wait, Rock came in with a group of his soldiers from the passage, and the running team did not leave the soldiers, but the queue was a little messy, so it seems that the new soldiers are not a problem in terms of physical quality, it depends on how I train.
"Pass my orders. I turned to one of the heralds beside me and said, "Order the General Staff to immediately begin the training plan for the rest of the units except for the reconnaissance and alert units, and to mobilize experienced officers to each unit for guidance." I personally formulated the specific training subjects, and then the General Staff Department distributed them to the whole army. β
"Yes!" replied the herald, hurrying away.
I was worried about the training of these new recruits, but after seeing Rock and his soldiers, I had already figured out how to do it.
There were veterans, there were tribal soldiers, and there were slave soldiers who had surrendered, and his group of soldiers was a microcosm of my entire army. I can use his team of soldiers as a model for personal training, I can find problems in them and immediately improve the training methods according to the problems, and then send the training subjects and key points to the staff headquarters at the first time, and then put them in the hands of every officer.
Although this group of soldiers did not fully embody the characteristics of the other soldiers, it was enough for me, and ten days was enough time for me to spot most of the problems...... They can be operational after ten days.
And there is no problem in training candidates, my officers have a lot of training experience, and they have all been trained by me many times......
"Report to the chief......" Rock ran to the horse and saluted me: "The whole team has arrived!"
I looked at his soldiers, some were gasping for air, some were making hard faces to each other, some were still trying to sit down and rest, and the ten non-commissioned officers who were squad leaders were admonishing the soldiers......
"Start the whole team at once!" I ordered, "Ten columns!"
"Yes!" the rock turned and ran away.
"Write it down, the first training is to increase the density of queue training, and pay special attention to eliminating the lazy habits of recruits. And I said to the people around me: "The second point that needs to be noted is that the non-commissioned officers have experienced battles, and they should give full play to the role of non-commissioned officers in training. β
"Wrote it down......"
"Attention ten squad leaders, come to me!" Seeing that their queue was almost formed, I shouted to them, "Other soldiers, stay standing for a minute!" (to be continued......)
