Duke Bran Elfwan's army arrived at the coalition camp almost at the same time as Salard's, and as agreed, they each dispatched 2,000 troops, all of which were the best elite divisions. The army of knights and soldiers dressed in all-colored burqas is spectacular just by looking at it.

Theodore once thought that the unification of military uniforms was the most basic thing for an army, but now it is no longer so simple and ignorant - in ancient times, when pigments were expensive, it was almost more difficult to unify the color of military uniforms than to ascend to the sky. At most, the army in a certain area can be slightly unified, as for what color the military uniform is, it depends on what local pigment is cheaper.

Even the weaponry and training methods of the army had to be adapted to local conditions - just as you can't let the Romans learn how to ride and shoot in an instant, the Cato people living in the emerald steppes had a very difficult time learning phalanx tactics, so ancient Rome would recruit soldiers in different regions.

But it is undeniable that the unification of weapons and clothing is of great significance to an army - the unification of weapons can make tactical design easier, and the unity of clothing can not only more clearly distinguish the identity of friend and foe, but also have a great impact visually - this is how the idiom of full swing comes from.

Fortunately, the armies of both Laria and Saleon were the main force of the standard sword and shield soldiers, and fought in phalanxes. The Sarionian sword and shield soldiers, who were influenced by the Romans, were also equipped with a two-meter short spear as a projectile weapon, which could also form a gun formation if necessary.

Larria's army, on the other hand, was a sword and shield soldier in the purest sense———— with a large kite-shaped shield with a positive protective surface, and a sharp conical sword was designed specifically to pierce armor at a glance, which was very similar to the Roman sword, but slightly shorter.

Zuihou also has Sariaon's unique infantry knights, who are said to have fought in this way in ancient times, so much so that many knights still insist on dismounting and fighting to this day – equipped with heavy swords that are one and a half meters long. Thick, but only protects the vital parts of the double chain mail. These people, like the Roman Eagle Banner Wing, were the core of the Salionian army.

"There is no doubt that we must not force an attack on Sevincro, gentlemen. ”

In the coalition camp, Terenus looked at the defense map of Savincro Castle hanging on the tent with a sad face, and the layers of towers and walls were as difficult to gnaw as a turtle's shell.

This precious castle blueprint was obtained from the only surviving knight chief of Severcro, although when they saw this picture, everyone scolded the Count of Best countless times in their hearts.

"I have to admit that this Lord Best is really good at castle design. If you want to attack the inner fort, you must at least cross the defense line of three walls. Salald gritted his teeth, and his scalp tingled: "The enemy has at least 10,000 troops, and we must be prepared to sacrifice half of our soldiers when attacking the inner fort." ”

"We're going to force them into the wilderness and fight us, not us. Terenus asserted, "Only then will there be a chance of victory." ”

"But how can we force them out?" Bran glanced at Salad beside him, and then put his gaze back on the map: "The food stock in the city of Severcro can last them for at least half a year, even if these beasts no longer have brains." I also know that hiding in the castle is a advantage. ”

"This... I'll do it. Theodore said confidently, "I'll find a way to get these guys out of the castle of Severcro of their own accord." ”

"That's right......" Bran glanced at Theodore, then bowed gracefully in relief, "Since you say so." Then we'll just have to wait and see. ”

"Although I haven't come here yet, I'll arrange the next battle sequence first. Theodore looked at the three men beside him: "The Roman legions will be the central position of the army, protecting the main camp and the baggage and long-range troops, and the Salion infantry will be in charge of the left flank of the coalition army." Laria was on the right flank, covering the flanks of the center. ”

"The knightly forces are under the command of Lord Terenus. Theodor said in a deep voice, "Belisarius will come to the aid with two thousand Cato cavalry. and accept his command. ”

"No comments. Bran nodded, "It would be an honor for the knights of Laria to accept the command of Chief Terenus. ”

"As for the advance forces of the coalition ............forces," Theodore muttered for a moment, then looked up and was about to speak, but was stopped by Salald.

"Duke of Brenus...... I mean, Mistress Magest Brennus, who passed away not long ago. Salald said calmly, "So, the knights of Mistermai, maybe...... It's not coming. ”

"Yes......" Theodore's face was a little sad: "One less, a very good striker, it seems that you can only count on the Liliang of the Noldor Elf." ”

The icy cold wind blew the land, and the flags on the flagpoles hunted. The soldiers were busy packing up their weapons and armor, as well as all sorts of baggage, and the whole barracks was silent, but everywhere there was the sound of footsteps and the neighing of war horses, the turning of wheels.

"They were too nervous, and the atmosphere in the barracks was too depressing for them. Terenus looked at the busy soldiers with some sadness: "I can't even breathe." ”

"It's inevitable. Theodore glanced at him, and his voice was a little cold: "When war comes, of course they will be very nervous, and even veterans who have been on the battlefield cannot really overcome their fears completely. ”

"Your temperament is becoming more and more like that of a true commander, Lord Theodore Julian. Terenus smiled nondeniably, "So, when are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow. Theodore replied, "The Noldor Elves have sent reinforcements, and a thousand elite hunters under the command of Bode Ardalia will join our army, and they will serve as spearheads and scouts for the coalition forces. ”

"Ah, the Noldor Elves are indeed good scouts and archers. Terenus nodded, quietly observing Theodore's eyes: "But I think that such an important task should be entrusted to more trustworthy armies and commanders, don't you?"

"We can't wait too long, a quick big win is what the north needs. Theodore vetoed Terenus's proposal: "Aaron is my good brother, comrade-in-arms, and a good commander. The knights of Mistrometz are indeed the most trusted vanguards. But war waits for no one. ”

"Tomorrow morning, we will set out for the fortress of Severcro and retake it. Theodore said in a deep voice: "If he comes, of course, it is better, if he does not come, we will also go to fight the orcs to the death!"

"I can see how much the death of Duke Magister touched you, Lord Julian. But that shouldn't affect your decision-making. Terenus looked at Theodore: "The knights of Mysterma can't come, you should find a way to gather more troops and set off again, instead of rushing forward, our enemies ......"

"Xiexie, you're reminding, but let's stop here, Lord Terenus. Theodore interrupted the old knight, "We'll set out tomorrow, and then we'll reach Severcro, and we'll knock it down, it's as simple as that." With that, Theodor walked without looking back towards his tent.

"Mistress Julian!" Tyrenus shouted to Theodore, who was moving forward, "I would like to ask you a question, what do you think is the point of this war, and what are we fighting for?!"

"The South has become a scorched earth, people have suffered heavy casualties, and the once rich South may not even have half of the population of the North. In that case, must we take it back at all costs? Could it be that if we win the war, the dead people will be resurrected? Will the wounds be erased?!"

"Meaning?" Theodore's voice was a little low: "Issos is the meaning of this war, victory is the meaning of this war, and letting the bloodthirsty orcs know how to look at humanity is the meaning of this war!"

..................................................................................................................

Terenus watched Theodore's departing figure, his gray-white eyebrows almost crumbling together, his bright eyes revealing an indescribably complex emotion.

"Lord Terenus!" Adjutant Will, dressed in military uniform, walked over and saw the old man's tangled face, "What happened just now?"

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, but I always have a premonition that I don't feel good. Terenus let out a long sigh, "Our Bixia is too eager to prove herself. ”

"Well, what?" Will didn't react for a moment, "What's too eager?"

"Ah, it's nothing, you're just an old man's rambling dreams, boring nonsense. Terenus shook his head, a slight smile on his face, "I discussed it with Mistress Julian just now, and we will leave tomorrow to go to Broken Boundary Mountain to recapture the Fortress of Severcrowe!"

"Tomorrow?!" Will looked at Terenus in astonishment, "Isn't this too much of a hurry? Do you want to wait any longer, Duke Brenus's army hasn't arrived yet." ”

"War waits for no one, there is no time. Terenus smiled and said, "We will use a quick and brilliant victory to give the people of the north confidence in victory!"

"What's more, the real war has not yet begun!" (To be continued......)
