Section 243 Resume

"If you were to ask for a reason, there would be only one reason: the Tiberios were unreliable! and only an imbecile fool like Byron would trust them. Since the founding of our country, the Tiberias have always had territorial ambitions for our country. The reason, I'm sure you've heard of it, is said to have been the occupation of the land that originally belonged to Tiberius. The last time Beller came to our country, he ostensibly defeated the invading Chaos Legion as the commander of the coalition forces, but in fact he helped to put the ambitious Byron on the throne of regent. If it weren't for the blessing of King Makremiz's heroic spirit, and if it weren't for the favor of the gods, I'm afraid our country would have been torn apart, and their treacherous plan would have succeeded!"

Although Ashrufat actually admired and respected Bayrell from a personal point of view, but when he heard Ilynn's comments, he also took it for granted for some reason. It should be said that Bayrell was indeed a general who would stop at all means to achieve his ends - of course, as a general, "to achieve his ends by any means" was by no means a disparagement, but a compliment.

"This time the two countries are in alliance, if Bayrell is the commander of the coalition again, then he probably won't play the trick of last time. This time...... He will certainly make full use of the power of the general and let our soldiers be used as cannon fodder! And he will have ample power and opportunity to do so. Both Her Majesty and I agreed that the risks were too great......"

......

Due to the further expansion of the search for Chaos cultists, business on Flower Street has become noticeably lighter. At such a sensitive and critical moment, people will subconsciously reduce going out so as not to receive unnecessary attention. The people of the church are arresting people all over the city, so if you want to have fun or something, you must at least wait until this turmoil has passed.

At present, it has been found that at least two nobles and Chaos believers are involved, and there are even more other servants and commoners.

Rhodia sits in the lobby of a hotel on Flower Street. Because business has not been very good these days, the tavern is now empty. She held a drink in her hand that she didn't know what it was, and she held Wen Jiàn in one hand, looking at it with a very boring expression. There was a wheat stalk stuck in the cup, which was already sucking her by this time.

This is a very detailed but also very ordinary material. It had nothing to do with her business, but information about Beller.

Because he is a well-known figure in the world, Beller's biographical information is not a difficult thing to obtain. In fact, as many people know, the curriculum vitae of such people is always collected with special clarity and clarity. People may not know what these celebrities really think, but they do know exactly what they have done. It's like a general on the battlefield, no one knows what motivates them to make those decisions, but everyone knows the consequences of those decisions.

Baylor's life history has never been a secret.

He was of minor aristocratic origin, and his father was just an ordinary knight. Like most of these petty aristocrats, Baylor's father chose a seemingly suitable path for him - to study at a military academy, join the army after graduation, and carry forward the family by virtue of military exploits.

Of course, this road looks beautiful, but in fact it is not easy to walk. Not to mention the risks that are inevitable on the battlefield, just climbing up the ranks in the army, or even joining the army is a big problem in itself -- you may not be able to be a high-ranking officer, and you are not willing to be an ordinary soldier.

Beller faced this awkward situation. Although he graduated with honors from the military academy, he faced the situation of not being able to get a proper military position. Eventually, he had to give up his intention of joining the regular army and become a subordinate of Tiberius as a frontier lord - not every lord was known to be good at warfare, but few were willing to join a lord as an officer.

Bayrell was an officer of noble origin (though only a knight of the lowest rank), who had studied and trained at the Military Academy. With this qualification, he may not be able to enter the regular army of the kingdom and become a high-ranking person, but he was immediately appointed by the border lord as the supreme commander of the army - of course, this lord did not have an elite army under his command, but a typical aristocratic private army composed of militiamen, light cavalry, and musketeers, with no heavy knights, few cannons, let alone magicians. The number is only a thousand.

If fate had developed according to normal logic, Bayral would probably have spent his life as this "right-hand man of the country tyrant". But as is the case with a border lord, the lord has a dispute with his neighbor.

Such disputes are nothing more than resolved by negotiation or sword. If the two lords belong to the same country, then the method of negotiation is usually used, if not, then the method of war is usually used. This time the dispute belonged to the latter - the neighbor was the lord of Shem. So a common armed conflict on the border arose.

For the people who have nothing to do with this war, it should have been a tedious war in which no one even knows the details. But perhaps it was some kind of temptation, maybe it was some other reason, but in short, the situation of the war soon became beyond anyone's imagination. The border lord of Shem hired nearly 3,000 elite cavalry from Turan through some channel. Coupled with the mobilization in his own territory, he gathered 10,000 horses. This is already an overwhelming army for this kind of border conflict. And because of the joining of the Turanians, they have an absolute advantage not only in quantity, but also in quality.

According to the analysis after the fact, this is likely to be a plot against Tiberius, a temptation.

The lord, the monarch of Beller, made the best choice a normal human could make. He gave Beller full authority to command the army, and then he himself took his family to the royal city overnight to ask the king for help. Thus Beleur ushered in the first real war of his life.

The other side has a full 10,000 horses, and although Bayer has been mobilized, its strength is less than half of the opponent's, and it cannot be compared. So he used very creative tactics. Before the battle began, he tried to exaggerate the enemy's atrocities, and with the power of rumors, he successfully mobilized all the inhabitants of his territory to flee to the wilderness with food and livestock. He then selected a small group of loyal and familiar people in the army to resist at every pass and checkpoint suitable for resistance.

Immediately after the start of the war, the enemy's army encountered all sorts of problems. The water from the wells was poisoned, the people were nowhere to be seen, and the resistance forces harassed and resisted at every suitable location, but it was as slippery as an eel, unable to catch and catch it. At night, cows and horses were pierced through their stomachs. From time to time during the day, you can encounter a pile of thistles or traps. The sky is not beautiful, and the heavy rain continues to fall. The invaders cursed in the mud all the way, eager to catch Beller and skin him alive.

After an arduous trek, the enemy's army finally reached the castle where Belle was strong. But the most thorough clearing of the walls had been carried out here, and within a few days the invading army began to gnaw at the flesh of the horses, and the city seemed to have enough troops and enough food to hold out for a long time. In addition to this, epidemics have also become epidemic due to poisoning and poor sanitary conditions. Ostensibly, the invaders surrounded the city where Bayral was strong. In fact, they were surrounded by famine and disease.

In the end, the two warring parties finally concluded a contract under the "mediation" of the royal families of both sides.

If the war had ended here, perhaps Bayer's performance would have been "outstanding". At the time, few people thought that Bayral had other plans.

In the armistice, Bayrell offered to withdraw along the route of the march - because the territory had already paid a great price for the war and could not withstand another ravage. But neither the Lord of Shem nor his half-starved troops would go back the way they came, drinking the northwest wind. They retreated along another route in order to collect supplies along the way.

This qiē was already within Bayral's budget.

So, on the grounds that the other side had violated the agreement, Bayral led his troops and ambushed the enemy in a steep canyon. Caught off guard by a deliberate ambush by the enemy, even an elite division would be extremely difficult to deal with, let alone a hungry, exhausted, and poorly disciplined army. The battle turned into a one-sided massacre. The lord of Shim, of which he himself was commander, was killed on the spot, and 10,000 invading troops, including 3,000 Turan mercenaries, were wiped out - because no one would pay the ransom for the mercenaries, Berel ordered all mercenary prisoners to be executed.

He then quickly led his army back against the enemy and carried out burning, killing and looting to make up for the economic losses of the territory.

The war directly shook three countries. Bayrell showed in the war that a general can achieve the best qualities. He took advantage of everything, but he couldn't fault it. Shem and Turan silently swallowed the bitter fruit and gave up trying to provoke Tiberius. Tiberius praised Béral in his own country, and the king himself made him a knight, making him a mere vassal of a lord to a high-ranking general of the kingdom, and even appointing him commander of the legions to guard against the greenskins of the Irontalon Mountains - of course, the facts of the future show how wise this appointment was.

For Bayer, the war was the starting point of his career as a general. He will have to face more wars, disputes with Ryan, and Gruny's provocations to eliminate the invading Greenskins from the Iron Claw Mountains, fight for the interests of the country as a mercenary general, quell the civil strife in the country, expedition to Callean, attack Sivania, and assist Gruni in defeating the invading Chaos Legion...... In all these wars, he has an outstanding, even perfect, appearance.

Regardless of whether these battles were won or lost, at least no one could question Bayer's ability.

At the bottom of this information, there is people's evaluation of this modern No. 1 general, and it is the malicious one: cunning as a fox, fierce as a lion, and as ruthless as a poisonous snake.

Although this evaluation is vicious, you can also see the kind of jealousy contained in the words.

There was the sound of footsteps at the door, and Rhodia looked up and saw Beller coming in through the door.

Bayral's dress was simple, not at all like a nobleman, more like a clerk of a chamber of commerce. With his featureless public face, there is no such thing as a famous general's demeanor.

He had seen Rhodia sitting alone in the most prominent position, but she was still looking around from side to side, as if looking around.

"Don't worry, Shogun. Rhodia folded the text in her hand and threw it towards the garbage heap in the corner. "It's really just the two of us here, no one else...... What are you afraid of? Afraid of an assassin coming out of the side?"

"I don't believe so. Béral seemed embarrassed and did not dare to look at Rhodia squarely. "What were you looking at?"

"A little secret about someone. Rhodia replied with a smile. "Come, sit down, I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

"Are you sure I'm coming?"

"Of course. ”

"You're so confident. ”

"I have reason to be so confident, you see, don't the facts prove my judgment?"
