Section 267 Adjutant General

In fact, what happened during that time, Bayral has long understood clearly. To put it bluntly, it is an old trick of chaos, but it is an old trick that has been tried and tested repeatedly. A high-ranking Chaos Emissary managed to infiltrate Rafa's side (legend has it that he relied on a beauty trick) and used his magic to influence and control the sanity of a small group of people, including Rafa. To tell the truth, Rafa's life was in the hands of Chaos during that time. Rafa survived solely because the goal of the Chaos Messenger was not to take his life, but to use him to control the entire northern legion of Gruni.

Under the control of sorcery, Rafa's sanity was constantly changing between normality, madness and ignorance, and he did a lot of contradictory stupid things, and lost a great opportunity to expand his influence in vain (at that time, the little queen and Byron broke up and eventually went to war), greatly weakened his political influence, and even suffered great damage to his body. After the Church finally sensed and drove away the Chaos Bringers, Rafa became what she is now. According to Parry, Rafa had been sent to a safe rear castle far from the front line to recuperate. The priests of the Church repeatedly assured Rafa of his life, but they were not sure when he would recover.

The end result is that Rafa is no longer a councilor, and Parry is temporarily taking his father's place. Faced with the heavy threat of the invasion of the Chaos Legion, the final result can only be to give up the status of a semi-independent warlord and bow to the Eagle Falcon City.

Parry spoke with a hint of grumbling and regret. This is human nature, he once had the hope of winning the throne and was considered one of the most promising young people in the country, but now he suddenly fell from a high position and became an ordinary general.

"What is the situation in Neustria City, what is the situation at the front?" Beller finally patiently listened to the other man's words and changed the subject.

"It's okay here in Neustria, but it's good over there...... It doesn't seem good. Chaos' offensive is strong, maybe they won't hold out for long. ”

"Oh, it seems like they were shouting like that half a month ago. Bayral was a little unimpressed. Every besieged castle would be eager for reinforcements, and this eagerness would often lead them to relay the wrong message to the rear.

"Chaos' offensive is fierce......"

Robin, who was on the side, asked Baylor secretly. "I remember the last time it was that Lei and Sa City, didn't it block the chaos for a whole year? ”

"This is not necessarily. It depends not only on the strength of the forces, fortifications on both sides, but also on the capabilities of the commanders and the morale of the army. Bayral replied. "This time the Sadistic Lord seems to be very ferocious. The words of a terrorist lord as a commander...... I think it's a big test for the defenders. ”

"That's right. Parry overheard the two of them talking. "For example, the morale of the army under the command of the lord of the terror lord will be very high, but the way of fighting is very simple. Armies under the command of Tzeentch will be very cunning, but their frontal attack ability will be weakened. The troops under the command of Lord Slaanesh will have excellent mobility, and the army under the command of Lord Nurgle will be very good at defensive combat......"

"It's a bit strange to say, it should be that people are different, why do different cultists have different characteristics?"

"Robin, don't you know that's why the Chaos Evil God is called the 'Evil God'?" Beller asked Robin in surprise.

"I'm sorry, General, but I really don't know......," Robin explained. The last time Beller fought with the Evil God Legion, Robin wasn't by Beller's side because of something else, so he didn't really know anything about the Evil God or anything.

"The reason why the Chaos Evil God is an evil god is a very important point. That is, their followers are not able to truly maintain independent thinking. For example, a believer who worships sadomasochism, no matter what his original intentions are, will inevitably be influenced by the sadism in the end, and his mind will inevitably become a bloodthirsty fighter. The same goes for other evil gods. Legend has it that someone threw himself into the arms of Nurgle in order to heal the disease, but in the end, the noble brave man turned into a villain who worked tirelessly to spread the disease. Bayrell said. "Therefore, those evil god believers, especially high-level champion wizards, lords, and the like, are almost all extensions of their master's thoughts. The abusive must be brutal and bloodthirsty, and the Tzeentch must be insidious and cunning...... Got it?"

Robin finally understood.

"Is the situation really that bad in Cohua City?" said Beller, turning to face Parry. "The defenders of the city...... I heard in Eagle Falcon City that due to the previous deployment of military forces, the defenders of Gaohua City were nearly half more than normal. With so much extra combat power, even if the Horror Lord comes to attack the city, it shouldn't be at a disadvantage. ”

"The forces of Chaos are strong......," Paro replied. "The evil god generals simply spilled the blood of their subordinates under the city walls mercilessly, regardless of casualties. According to the front-line battle report, there have been no less than 5,000 Chaos warriors killed before and after this period of time, and even tens of thousands, but the cultists of the evil gods are still blindly attacking, and the offensive has not weakened at all. In addition, there seem to be quite a few skilled craftsmen in their ranks. Because although a large number of siege weapons were destroyed during the battle, new ones were constantly created and put into battle. Morale in the city was already quite low. ”

"They get reinforcements from the rear?" Béral remembered the phrase in military intelligence. Because of this, the Chaos Legion doesn't care about casualties at all.

"It seems like this. Parry admitted.

"How many Chaos troops are besieging the city now?"

"50,000 to 70,000 ......"

Baylor muttered softly, "It's not going to be easy...... his voice was soft, only Robin noticed.

Something seemed to have happened to the army at the front, and there was a little confusion. Parry rushed over to check what was going on, and Robin immediately asked Bayor. "General, what do you think of?"

"Robin, remember, according to our calculations, the coalition forces can reach 100,000 troops?"

"Yes, I know. You said that. At that time, you also said that our side finally had the advantage of forces. ”

"Not now. The total strength of the Chaos Legion will not be less than 100,000, and maybe even a little more. Bayral replied. "It's hard to fight. ”

"Why? Didn't he just say 50,000 to 70,000?"

"You forgot it, I told you just now, the forces under the city are not all of Chaos. At least Tzeentch and Nurgle's main forces have not yet arrived. ”

As soon as Baylor reminded him, Robin immediately remembered his previous words.

"So, now it's a dilemma......," Bayral said. "If the army is immediately waved to the rescue, then the enemy is not tired, and this battle is not a sharp attack and fatigue, and there is no advantageous advantage. If you wait patiently, then the enemy's military power will be further strengthened and more troublesome. He suddenly laughed, "Fortunately, I'm not a general, so I'll leave this problem to Ashrufat to solve." We just have to do our own thing. ”

Parry ran back from the front.

"Your Excellency Beller, something seems to be wrong. ”

A few minutes later, Béral arrived at the birthplace of the commotion. On the side of the road, there were two bodies. Judging by the clothes on the deceased, it should be Gruni's soldiers.

There were no obvious injuries on the deceased's body, and there were not even blood stains around him, indicating that the deceased did not die under the sword. But their corpses were a sickly green color, bulging out like those of a drowned. A green liquid flowed out of several cracks in the corpse's skin.

"What's going on?"

"It's supposed to be a deserter. Parry pondered for a moment, making a judgment. These two soldiers don't look like scouts, but they leave the barracks, so there is only one answer. Speaking of which, after knowing that their enemy is the Chaos Legion, many recruits are full of fear for future battles, and there are not many incidents of desertion, but they are not few.

"The corpse is still fresh. Bayral said softly. On this main thoroughfare, the patrol force passes by at least once a day. It is impossible to ignore such a conspicuous corpse, which means that the deceased will not be more than a day after his death at most. In addition, the skin of the corpse is still elastic - this is also an auxiliary example.

"But this ...... Rotten Cheng dù......" Robin said softly. The deceased's body swelled so much that the skin became a little translucent, and it was possible to see something swimming under the skin, or drilling around. Well, at least Robin doesn't want to be meticulously pursued on that.

"No one touched the corpse just now, did they?" Beller asked aloud. "If there is, say it!"

"General, I poked with my spear. A soldier reported loudly.

"Light a fire and burn your spear in it until it's red!" Beller ordered. "This is no ordinary corpse, this is ...... Nurgle's wicked spells!"

This phrase caused a commotion among the soldiers. Some of the soldiers, who had been very curious just a moment ago, immediately retreated some distance behind them.

"Don't try to collect the corpses, don't try to touch them! Pour oil on me and light a fire, a magic that can only be purified by fire!" cried Béral. "Even after the fire burns, it's best to stay away from here!"

Parry took the initiative to take charge of the order and began to get the soldiers to take action. Luckily, oil is a must-have for the army (for making torches for traveling at night), so it's not too difficult to collect. Bayor, Robin, and the others watched as far away as they could. Robin noticed that Bayrell was staring at Parry a little differently—he was sighing slightly, and shaking his head.

"General, what's wrong with you?" asked Robin softly.

"I'm just lamenting some injustice. Bayral replied. "You see, this Parrilian Nurgle's trick...... I didn't understand such basic things, but because I was Rafa's son, I was directly appointed as an adjutant general......" He shook his head and sighed again.

Although "adjutant general" is always slightly inferior in people's opinions, in fact, this army can be regarded as Gruny's national division, and being the deputy general of this army itself means an extraordinary status.
