And the steppe wolves eliminated under his command are even more than tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

So from the perspective of a warrior, Old Sean did not have too many regrets in this life, and he died a well-deserved death, and even died a glorious death.

But from the perspective of a hereditary marquis, the patriarch of a large family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, the elder Sean failed, and he did not fulfill his due duty and pass on the family business intact to his children and grandchildren.

Old Sean's son, Bedry, was gifted and irritable and aggressive, and was more suited to be a mere knight than a commander, the successor of a military city.

So over the years, the elder Sean has not relinquished power prematurely, and he has firmly stood in the position of the first person in Gokan City and refused to relax, even if he is nearly ten years older than Brad, he should have taken a back seat to retire and handed everything over to his successor.

Until the past two years, the deteriorating health of old Sean has to start delegating power and paving the way for his children and grandchildren.

There are some things that Philip and his young people naturally don't know, but it is impossible for a few old guys, including Brad, not to know that Old Sean has secretly made a sincere gesture to His Majesty Gulliver, the former crown prince and current emperor, hoping to preserve the family inheritance in the new era.

He even did not hesitate to give up the throne of the city lord of Gaokan City and the head of the Rock Legion, and transferred back to the imperial capital or the southeastern province to become a nobleman of the Void Lord.

Because he knew that if he died, he was afraid that his son Bedri would not be able to fight these old foxes, and from the current point of view, the grandson's personality was the same as that of his father.

If everyone had been on the same level as an earl, if it had been only military affairs, Bedri might have become a brother and colleague who were kind-hearted.

But as a superior and leader, whether it is the cumbersome government affairs of Gaokan City or the intricate aristocratic relationships and interest chains attached to the Nuo family, it is not something that this big man who is a little straightforward and irritable can grasp.

At that time, even if the other three families will not fall into the hole in the friendship of the Marquis of Nou for many years, they will definitely pursue the interests of their own families at the necessary moment, which has nothing to do with friendship, but is the inevitable consequence of the naked power structure of the aristocratic class.

Once several old guys are gone, what awaits the Nuo family will be an even more tragic end, and even the united Gaokan City will fall apart, which Marquis Nuo does not want to see.

Although his movements were hidden, they had been eating in the same pot for decades, how could his small movements escape Brad's eyes, and finally revealed clues.

For his hidden worries, the other three old guys are not incomprehensible, and even secretly happy, but Old Sean chose the wrong method.

Because he chose to give up more resources to pursue more gorgeous economic indicators, he acquiesced in certain ways to weaken Gaokan City and weaken the Rock Legion, so that the interests of the other three were greatly harmed.

So two years ago, Philip and their battle for the championship of the imperial capital, the other three took the opportunity to unite and put huge pressure on old Sean.

In particular, the murder of Philip was used to force the Marquis of Noe to publicly stand in the interests of the city of Gokan and stand in solidarity.

These things are only known to the second-generation direct heirs of the three families, such as Bruce's father Francis, but the younger generation does not know.

Old Sean was taken aback by the action of the three families uniting and was forced to stop his movements, and accelerated the speed of decentralization, using a gentler way to find a way out for the family.

At that time, Brad drank with him for several nights and said a lot of thoughtful words.

To this day, Brad still remembers the words that his old friend kept repeating after drinking, and the depression and helplessness revealed in his tone: "You have two good grandsons." ”

But unfortunately, before a few families could come up with a safe plan and distribute their respective interests, the war broke out suddenly when everyone was not ready, and it was so violent.

From the very beginning, Brad sensed the pessimism in the hearts of his old friend, and the development of events proved it.

For several years in a row, the disadvantages of insufficient reserve troops and insufficient ordnance have been revealed, even if there is no negative attitude of old Sean at that time, I am afraid that the ending will not be much better, the national situation is like this, the general trend.

Many industries that have been transformed cannot be restored with a paper order, and those invested resources have not yet reached the harvest season, let alone stopped.

Again, it takes time and accumulation to convert resources and population into combat effectiveness, especially in a country like the Wardsman Empire, which is sparsely populated and more dependent on military equipment.

Regarding the attitude of the imperial capital, the three major military cities have long been prepared, but the obvious malice of the southeastern province may have a lot to do with the series of political activities of old Sean at that time.

This can be clearly seen from the distribution ratio of follow-up forces in the three military cities and the supply of ordnance and materials.

Although the number of divisions was the same on the surface, only the veterans knew that the first two divisions to supply Gaokan were the two with the smallest number and the worst weapons and equipment of all the second-line divisions.

The deployment of enough junior officers to augment these ranks put tremendous pressure on the front-line defense, and casualties soared for a time.

If it weren't for the fact that Gaokan City still had some connections and accumulation, and received some extra help, it would really be killed by those powerful people in the southeast.

So if Shaun Sr. deliberately sacrificed Gokan City when he ended up developing his defensive strategy, Brad felt that it was simply nonsense.

From the moment he asked Bedri to set up an ambush to intercept the steppe people, the old man had probably made up his mind to live and die with the city of Gokan.

After receiving the Eagle Feather Biography from Old Sean before his death, and when he saw the ruins of Rock Castle, Brad understood that this was Old Sean using half of the family to atone for his sins, and entrusted him alone.

Because only Brad, who is a close friend, will keep the glory of the family for so many years, and only Brad's prestige can subdue the other two families, so that the leaderless Gaokan City can be stabilized at the least cost.

The old Duren of the Shadow Hunter Regiment is old enough and has enough prestige, but he is gloomy and cunning, and he lacks that great weapon.

Although Douglas of the Giant Bear Division is calm and has a furrow in his chest, he is the youngest among several old guys, and the Giant Bear has been the title division for the shortest time, and his family background and qualifications are congenitally insufficient.

This made it a little difficult for him to deal with the intricacies of the noble group of Gaokan City, and even the pressure from the outside world.

However, his grandson Wesley is a talent, a natural commander, if there is another 30 years of accumulation, maybe the giant bear family will really usher in a golden age.

On the whole, Brad the Wild Lion may not be the best one, but he has a tough and bold personality, is old enough, and has rich experience, and the power management of the Wild Lion family in Gaokan City and even the entire empire is also intertwined, and the family is full of heritage.

The most important thing is that Brad has two good sons and two good grandchildren, and has a larger mass base in the second and third generations of association.

The people of the Wild Lion family may be irritable, but strangely, both Brad himself and his sons and grandsons are very popular, as if the people of this family are born with an alternative affinity, the charm of a predator.

Let's not talk about the two sons, Francis and Matthew, just the two grandsons.

The eldest grandson, Bruce, is steady, courageous, a natural general, and straightforward and heroic, without a vicious mind.

What's even more amazing is that the little grandson Philip, like a sword that amazes the world, has emerged in just two years and amazed the world.

What is especially rare is that at a young age, he knows how to advance and retreat very well, and when his prestige is at its highest, he announced that he would join the temple in a high-profile manner, avoiding the disaster of Xiao Wall.

not only preserved the brotherly friendship, but also made the royal family and the temple stand behind him unconsciously, making other families relax their vigilance at the same time, but they are even more jealous.

If there is no secret guidance and arrangement from old Brad, the others will not believe it at all, but they can't care about it, who does let the family have capital.

Only Brad himself knows that his contribution is indeed there, but more often than not, it is the idea of the demonic little grandson, who has shown a completely different wisdom and philosophy from ordinary children since he was a child.

But Brad was satisfied, like this cup of fragrant piping hot coffee on his lips, which warmed him from the outside to his heart.

"Have you seen your father?"

"Well, it's almost time to wake up at this point. ”

Listening to the joy that could not be hidden in the tone of the little grandson, Brad was even more satisfied, this is a child with love in his heart.

He reluctantly put down the empty coffee cup, never feeling that such a bitter drink tasted so good.

"Are all your subordinates arranged?" Brad didn't care about the fate of those prairie people, since Sun Tzu had already led the team back, it meant that those remnants of the defeated steppe wolves had been ambushed, and it was not worth his attention at all.

Philip nodded, lit a cigarette for himself and Brad, and the grandparents and grandchildren smoked.

"There is news from the New Red Moon Pass, the replenished Maga regiment has departed, the railway line has been repaired, and it will arrive in the afternoon of the next day at the latest.

I plan to merge them all into the Red Rose Knights when the reorganization is complete.

In addition, I have already discussed with Sophia before I came, and all the female infantry she brought this time will be seconded to the Wild Lion Division, whether to reinforce the eastern defense line or stay in Gaokan City, it is all up to you.

Those big men of the Gaoshan clan, including those who stayed in the New Red Moon Pass, are also handed over to you, and I suggest that you organize them into the pro-guard.

These people are more than martial, but their military literacy is not high, they are not suitable for regular combat, and if there are too many casualties, they will not look good in front of those people in the south.

My personal guard can recommend a few young people to you, and from now on, you may have a stronger sense of belonging to Gaokan City and the Wild Lion Division.

I'll give you the exact list after I count it, maybe it's more appropriate to stay with Bruce.
