Blood Dragon

Chapter [-] Secret

"My lord, why did you get involved with forage?" A soft hand touched Parry's back.This woman did not resist him, and now she regarded herself as Parry's wife and concubine.In other words, she has admitted the reality - well, although it seems that she is a bit heartless, but for Parry at the moment, this is not a shortcoming.

"Forage and food," Parry answered. "There is also the treatment of wounded soldiers, weapons... I am in charge of these now." He said.

"Oh, these seem to be the focus of the army." The woman said softly.

"The key point? Oh, of course it's the key point!" Parry replied viciously.Even ordinary people, those who have never had anything to do with war all their lives, have vague concepts like "logistics is the key to the army".But in fact, everyone will intentionally or unintentionally forget such a thing: In the army, the person in charge of logistics has no future.

This is also a matter of course-it is easy to imagine that it is extremely difficult for a person, or an officer, to earn any credit and reputation for himself in the backward work.A soldier or an officer must rely on military merit to fight for his status and future, but logistics work is an exception.

The logistics are cumbersome, but there's no credit to be had.A general who can make great achievements in logistics work is like a warrior who can slay a dragon-that is worth writing in a legendary story for future generations to admire.

"My lord, you seem unhappy?"

"Hmph..." Parry replied, feeling uncontrollably angry.Baylor is now in charge of the front-line scouts, which is the easiest position to make a career—but this, Parry can barely accept.In any case, Baylor is a famous player recognized by all countries, with rich experience and a proud record.Letting him be in charge of scouting can be understood as a "mature and prudent" move at the lowest level.But Barranca... what is that mercenary?Why should it be Parry's turn to handle the logistics?Responsible for caring for the sick and wounded?There are logistics officers in the army!

This is obviously a kind of suppression.Undoubtedly, it was Ashurfat - the upstart - who made the personnel arrangement according to Falcon City's intention.The situation this time is simply what the gods bestowed on the little queen... General Rafa, who originally controlled the Northern Army and seemed to be separatist, completely withdrew from the political arena in one fell swoop.But Parry, who inherited his political legacy, had to surrender.

In terms of status, Parry may not have changed, but in terms of power, he (or his father) is no longer the uncrowned king.For Parry, the most urgent thing now is merit.With meritorious deeds, he can truly inherit Rafa's status and prestige, and he can gain enough followers. In future political struggles, he has the ability to resist the queen's power, and he can stabilize his position.

However, it was obvious that the one in Falcon City had seen all of this.The so-called one-step preemption, step-by-step preemption is the case.Ashuruffat cunningly used the opportunity of the Chaos Wizard to spread the plague before, and asked Parry to "temporarily" be responsible for the security of the entire Newstria city in the logistics category.Parry couldn't resist the idea, because everyone supported it, including Baylor.However, Parry believes that Beler is seeking truth from facts, while Ashrufat has ulterior motives.

"My lord, is it... this job is not easy to do?" Paris asked again.The way she said it seemed somehow familiar to Parry, "That's why it bothers you?"

"No, it's a good job," Parry replied.He didn't look back, so he couldn't see the girl behind him sticking to him, but there was a strange, supernatural light in his eyes.Her hand was walking gently on his back, it seemed like a casual touch, but if someone is watching her movements at this moment, they will find that her hand movements are actually very regular, aiming at certain fixed points. The position is massaged repeatedly.However, Parry didn't have eyes on his back, so he couldn't see anything. He just felt that this kind of touching was very comfortable, and he didn't suspect anything else at all.

"Then... is it because this position is not suitable for you to accumulate merits, my lord?" The girl's voice was still soft.

"That's right." Parry sighed.He obviously wanted to write a letter, but at this moment, he was in a state of confusion for some reason, holding a pen but didn't know how to write it.

"My lord, the army should have some action in the near future, right?" Paris asked seemingly casually.

"It's also possible." Parry replied casually. "It depends on the situation of the reconnaissance." When he said reconnaissance, he was somewhat happy.Although Beler is a famous general of the time and has defeated the Chaos Legion once, even Beler did not come up with any outstanding results this time—his elite reconnaissance force suffered heavy losses in the scouting battle with the Chaos Legion. .Maybe some people expected the veteran to do something unusual before, but Baylor doesn't seem to be a panacea.

"How's the reconnaissance going?"

"It's terrible." Parry unknowingly said the news that could not be spread out.Of course, he himself was completely unaware of this. "Our army suffered heavy losses, but gained very little. We can't even grasp the specific actions of the Chaos army in detail. At present, we only know that a part of the Chaos army left behind to continue to besiege Gaohua City, but more troops were sent out to mop up the surrounding small Castles or villages... Apart from these, we don't know anything about the size of the troops dispatched by Chaos, their specific targets... and even the strength of the Chaos Legion under Gaohua City. But there is an opportunity right now..."

"a chance?"

"Well, our General Ashurfat," Parry said with the utmost sarcasm and contempt on his tongue when he spit out the name. "A decision may be made to go straight to Gaohua City. Right now, the Chaos Legion is taking the initiative to divide its forces. If it can defeat the enemy army under the city with superior forces..."

"That's a good idea, why doesn't he do it?"

"God knows what he's hesitating about," Parry replied. "Perhaps he felt that he should wait for the Chaos Legion to attack those small but strong towns and villages and suffer more serious losses?"

"Oh, my lord, you don't like the decision of the Chaos Legion to divide and attack?"

"It's their own stupidity. Are those small towns... easy to deal with? Almost all of these castles are family castles of border lords. Every border lord will spare no effort to strengthen the defense of their castles. This is related to their own wealth and life. ...For doing this kind of thing, the price paid by the Chaos Legion must far exceed the benefits they received. Although the private army under the lord's command is poor in field combat capabilities, they are no worse than the regular army when it comes to defending cities. Those small cities Some of the fortifications are not even inferior to White Castle!"

"Ah, is it? So, Chaos made a mistake, will we win?"

"Of course, we will win." Parry held a soft and boneless hand, "For hundreds of years, we have rarely lost to the Chaos Legion on the battlefield!" He said very confidently, but unfortunately he He didn't look back, so he couldn't see the mocking look on the beauty's face behind him.

Perhaps because the mind slowly recovered from the passion, Parry's sanity began to recover, and soon he began to write the letter he had been planning to write for a long time.And the woman named Paris was very smart not to disturb him, and went to the next room.

Paris walked in and just closed the door (this action was obviously to prevent Parry from being disturbed), when a horse-green, translucent phantom immediately appeared beside her.

"Haha... As expected of Sagas, King of Huanyu's darling, he coaxed that little kid around..." Ma said with a smile.His expression was a bit awkward, because it wasn't him who showed up on his own initiative, but Sagas used some method to guide his virtual image out.

"I didn't expect you to be interested in this. How much have you seen?" Paris, or Sagas, asked coldly.

"No, I just heard a little bit." Ma replied with a smile. "Speaking of which, it's because I'm a little curious. After all, his father just learned this trick before, and there's a high possibility that he will be more vigilant...so I'm a little curious about how you will succeed."

"What happened before has nothing to do with me." Sagas replied. "It seems that others are saying that I missed my hand, was exposed and hunted down by southern magicians, and managed to escape back... Ha, if this is true, how can I still be here now? In fact, before It was only one of my capable subordinates who did it. At that time, I originally wanted to continue the foundation laid by my subordinates and plan to do something... But at that time, those church guys suddenly appeared." She did not continue, but her voice There was a slight sense of regret between them - from this point alone, Ma could guess the final fate of that "capable subordinate".Having said that, this is quite normal. The magicians of those churches are not easy to eat, and it is not easy to escape within their control.

"The kid should be lucky, his father has never enjoyed such a high treatment!" Ma said with a smile.

"That's natural... But, Ma, do you have other plans this time?" Sagas suddenly changed the subject very rudely. "Have you heard what the little one said just now?"

"That kind of kid knows something, just talking casually..."

"You instigated Lord Bloodfang to divide his troops to attack, did you have some other purpose?" Sagas ignored Ma's defense at all. "I know that you have deliberately arranged countless spies and spies in this country. I don't believe that you don't know the specific situation of the entire defense line!"

"This, horses make mistakes and people make mistakes!"

"It's okay to deceive Luo Jin and Lord Bloodfang, don't try to deceive me." Sagas' eyes became sharp, like two sharp swords. "What on earth are you trying to do? Your suggestion to Lord Bloodfang... has brought us into a dangerous situation! If the southerners surprise Gaohua City, we will suffer a total defeat!"

"Oh, Lord Bloodfang is the commander-in-chief, and he has the right to make decisions. I'm just offering my personal suggestion." Ma spread his hands with an innocent expression on his face. "Maybe my strategy is really bad, but it's not my fault. You can't blame me for offering advice, can you?"

"Besides, this danger you speak of," continued the horse. "I'm also a little aware. That's why I beg you to dispatch. Only you can get our army out of this crisis. You have to find a way to make the southerners unable to do anything!"
