Section 342 Jealousy
"Star Field...... Gods?" Xingke stayed for a long time, and finally asked. They also have experience in the Church, so they naturally know about the Holy Knights. In fact, the first time they met with Ashrufat was when they were hunted down by the Holy Knights and had no way to enter the heavens and the earth.
The source of the Holy Knight's power is definitely a miracle - most of the time, someone wakes up one day and suddenly discovers that they have superpowers. This ability has nothing to do with magic, it doesn't require any learning or talent, and it is inexplicably possessed. These superpowers are not fixed and vary greatly from one another, some of them may not be very impressive, but some are no less than magic, and even powerful enough to impress any magician.
In the past, the gods of the Star Field have been so generous with mortal power that the Church has even been able to gather enough Holy Knights to form a Knights. But things are changing imperceptibly - in the battle of Callean, the Church went all out, and the Holy Knights took the lead, and although the victory was said in the end, the Holy Knights suffered heavy losses in the battle against the vampires.
Originally, everyone thought that with the passage of time, the Holy Knights would slowly recover. But surprisingly, since then, the odds of having a Holy Knight have suddenly dropped dramatically. Although the Church has reorganized the Holy Knights, the number of true Holy Knights among them has dropped greatly (although the Church has tried to hide this, there are some things that are either trying to hide or conceal).
Then came the famous Greenskinned Invasion (which is all the more impossible to hide), in which the combined forces of the Church and the Shem were wiped out, and a glorious and inviolable holy city fell prey to the Greenskins, and the Holy Knights became a historical term. And the twins can finally move freely in the sun without worrying about it...... Some people have a heart, and someone looks up the relevant information and then comes to the door.
"It's not. Laria gritted her teeth and finally replied.
She was so clear about her aversion to the question that no one could be mistaken. No matter how curious the twins are, they can only temporarily shrink their doubts back into their stomachs.
......
Robin walked over the edge of the huge mound. Ostensibly a mound of earth, it was actually a large tomb, a common way for the victors to dispose of the bodies of the vanquished.
Beller spent two days on the battlefield, waiting for Eshurufat to catch up with him, and disposing of the body. There are some Nurgle's followers in the Chaos Legion - using corpses to spread disease is the skill that Nurgle's followers are best at, and no matter how much they are prepared, they can't be overstated.
The camp in Bayral was located on a small flat land in the middle of the valley. Although he was a general who independently led a partial division at this time, his tent was very simple, no different from an ordinary middle- and lower-ranking officer. Except for the guards and the passers-by, outsiders really don't see any characteristics. You can say that this is because General Beller leads by example and is very close to ordinary soldiers, or you can say that he is a cunning man who has a personal philosophical view of his own safety.
By the time Robin met Beller, someone had already taken the lead, and it was Teller, the new retinue who had been taken in by Beller. Strange to say, it is clear that these two men - Bayrell and Thaler - have no reason to be together at all, because they are very different in age, status, and ability, and they are not even from the same country. Robin felt that he couldn't find any reason why Bayrell valued Teller, but the General did value the new retinue.
This time, as in the past, Bayrell had Robin and Thaler split up to make one last tour of the battlefield. This is not to say that Bayral wanted to get any new information through the two of them, but it was just his habit - to get them used to the battlefield.
On paper, this is not a problem at all, because the enemy has already been destroyed. But in reality, many people are able to fight bravely in battle, but it is difficult to face the battlefield after the battle. For in the former, the human heart is motivated by the passion of battle and bloodthirstiness, and this spiritual strength can even make the soldier fight bravely despite the pain on his body. The latter, on the other hand, is in a state of calm mood. Looking at the corpses all over the ground and smelling the thick blood - this will have a considerable impact on the psyche of ordinary people.
Robin is a veteran, though. As early as his time as Bayor's retinue, he had witnessed the battlefield more than once. So at this moment, he could see Thaler's barely feigned composure - the kid's feet looked a little limp.
However, these words can only be said in the stomach, and Robin will not say such things in front of the general.
If a bystander had been present, he could immediately point out the deep jealousy that had emanated from Robin. Well, but that's understandable.
“...... In this way, the outcome of the battle ...... Our army won a complete victory, destroying 20,000 enemies on the battlefield, and the remaining 12,000 surrendered to our army...... Our army lost ...... More than 2,200 were killed and more than 1,400 wounded...... Mainly casualties caused by magical attacks. In this battle, our army won a complete victory. ”
¥##@&*#¥, Robin cursed in his stomach. It just asked you to patrol the battlefield, and didn't let you count the results and casualties. Do you think the Shogun doesn't know this? At most, he just pretends not to know.
But at least on the surface, Bayrell listened to Thaler's report with a smile.
"Well, this war is finally over. Bayral may have noticed Robin's displeasure, so he looked at Robin and smiled.
"Also...... It's not over. Thaler spoke first. "Isn't there still the enemy's base camp under Gaohua City...... And then there's the White Castle ......"
The thoughts in the mind of the general, how can a guy like you understand? Robin sneered again. He had been with Bayrell long enough to understand what Bayrell meant: Tiberius had already done all the work he needed to do in this battle. The rest of the battle, especially the siege of the White Castle, will not be mixed in with Beleur. Siege warfare has always required huge casualties, and it is impossible for the captured White Fort to become Tiberius's territory, so how could Bayrell do such a loss-making deal? Therefore, this war is over for Bayer. In the next battle, he just showed up and made a soy sauce and let him oversee the army to fight? I'm sorry, Bayral has a way of being lazy and sliding.
"It doesn't have to wait until the last enemy is down for the war to be over. Béral smiled and spoke. "Until now...... The battle is decided. The only question is how much we can reap after the war...... Come in, you two. ”
As mentioned earlier, the tent in Baylor is really not big. The three of them were a little crowded inside. Either way, there was a small table in the middle of the tent with a map, a few pieces of paper, and other texts that looked like letters. And, of course, a couple of small stools.
"Robin, didn't you ask me why Ashrufat made this deployment this time...... Speaking of which, this is a great opportunity for you to learn. Beller smiled, and the three of them sat down around the table. Bayral casually picked up the top piece of paper from the table. Judging by the handwriting on the paper, this is something that Bayral has just painted—he was probably painting it when Robin and Thaler were out.
"This ambush ......," Bayral said. "You've all seen it with your own eyes and experienced it yourself. To be honest, this battle was won perfectly, but if it is explained as a battle example, there is very little to say. Our army occupies almost all the advantages to the point that it is almost impossible to lose. Bayral smiled. "We are a recharged army, and the enemy is a newly defeated rabble. Our army occupies favorable terrain, and the enemy can only be beaten passively. Our army is prepared, but the enemy is defenseless...... I'd love to tell others that I won so simply because I'm a very good commander, but I'm really not that thick-skinned, so I have to admit that I won because that guy Essoufat commanded well. ”
He spoke in a self-deprecating tone, then watched the reaction of the two young men. Robin looked indignant, while Thaler looked a little surprised.
"Forget it, don't talk about it. Bayor shook the paper in his hand. "See what this is?"
"Array?" Robin had already recognized what was drawn on the paper in Beller's hand.
"That's right, the Array Diagram. Bayrell said. "Ashrufat's previous battle with the Bloodfang Lord. He smiled. "We captured a lot of captives from Chaos' side, and we happened to meet the recorder at the time...... So it was easy for me to know where the two sides were arranged. ”
He put the paper on the table, "You can see, the troops and arrangements of both sides are here...... And the process of the battle, you must have heard about it. Look at this picture, who can sue me...... Why did Ashrufat win?"
Robin glanced at Thaler with reluctance. In the past, the generals taught him one-on-one, and this was the first time that Bayral said the phrase "who can sue me".
"The Chaos Legion intends to ...... Slash tactics?" asked Robin, looking at the drawings for a moment.
"That's right, slash tactics. On the battlefield, concentrate the elite on one flank, and then as soon as the battle begins, the elite troops rush forward quickly, trying to defeat the enemy in front of them before the other two flanks can divide the victory. The diagonal tactic will have a great effect when encountering the kind of enemy who sticks to the rules and evenly distributes the troops, even if it is very common to overcome the strong with the weak. Bayrell said.
"So is General Ashrufat...... Slash tactics?" Thaler said after a moment's hesitation.
"That's right, slash to slash. Bayral smiled. "And it's exactly the opposite diagonal line, and in the end it forms a situation where both sides are strong and weak. ”
"General, in this way, the warring sides will not have any advantage in formation. Robin thought for a moment. In other words, victory or defeat depends on the strength of the army itself, and beyond that...... One can only hope that the other side has made some big mistake in command. ”
"The problem is...... the smile on Bayral's face remained unchanged, "On paper, the Chaos Legion has the upper hand in terms of combat power. He held out a finger. "If we hadn't come here to set up an ambush, then perhaps Ashrufat would have had a small advantage in terms of combat power, but we have already left, and Ashrufat's own army will be reduced by a third...... This is not a defect that can be made up for with some ordinary tricks. ”
"I see!" Thaler cried out suddenly. "It's all about ...... Central!"
