Lord of War

"boom!"

  A sound of heavy objects falling reverberated in the secret room.

  A solemn middle-aged man, panting heavily, his face flushed, which made the others in the secret room worried that this guy would suddenly die.

  But soon, the middle-aged man let everyone in the secret room know that their worries were unnecessary. Although he still looked angry and angrily, he picked up the chair that he had just kicked out, and set it up and sat down again.

   "Is there no other way?" the middle-aged man said unwillingly.

  This sentence aroused the attention of others in the secret room, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at the face of the gray-haired old man sitting on the left side of the long table.

  Apollo Beta, ranked ninth among the ten generals, a legendary general who is very good at using numbers.

  Although he is slightly inadequate in the overall strategic view, and his tactical literacy is relatively average, he is very good at maximizing the forces he can use at hand, almost accurately dividing the labor on each soldier.

  Basically, with the same size of force, Apollo’s tactical literacy is not so desperate, unlike William and Hella, which always creates a sense of despair. But if Apollo has more troops than the opponent, even if it is only 10% more troops, he can also make the opponent lose the war inexplicably, so the battle commanded by Apollo should at least be more than the enemy. More than 10% of the troops.

  Of course, in terms of military strength, the more the better. The more military advantages Apollo has, the faster Apollo can win wars.

"No way." Apollo saw everyone looking at him, but he was not timid at all, and said calmly, "Hela Garcia, although he is a famous player who ranks only behind me. , But her strategic awareness is much stronger than me. To make me and her undefeated, give me at least half the strength of her. Only in this way can I cope with her follow-up tricks.... If you want to win, At least twice as much as hers."

Apollo glanced around at the many nobles present, and despite their ugly faces, he continued to say: "I have studied her battle reports. This is a famous general who is very good at building momentum. Maybe when the war first broke out, she didn't show up. It doesn't seem to be so powerful without dew, but as the battle progresses, everyone on the battlefield will become her pawn...no matter what kind of enemy or ours."

  Apollo especially emphasized the four words "regardless of enemy or us".

"Once it becomes her chess piece, the script basically follows her arrangement. It is only a matter of time for her to win. Unless it can be directly like the battle where Ryan and Darbion broke out. Go deep behind enemy lines and take Hela away, so as to destroy her general situation. Otherwise, once she succeeds in building the situation, no one will want to block her attack.... Well, maybe the military **** can, but I can't do it anyway. "

  "If this is the case...Although we lost the first battle, we still have nearly 70,000 troops, which is 20,000 more than the opponent's vanguard..."

  A nobleman sitting third on the right side of the long table suddenly interrupted the dignified atmosphere in the secret room, and his words undoubtedly made all the noble lords present brighten up and felt a glimmer of hope.

"It's too late. If you unite half a month earlier, instead of looking for ways to leave, then maybe there will be a fight." Apollo shook his head, "Now? It's built. You give me 70,000 troops. I can indeed wipe out their vanguard, but this way I only have at most 12,763 soldiers. Now more than half of the lord and nobles in the country They all chose to remain neutral and didn't intend to join this war. After this war, how much more can you get for me?"

  Speaking of this, Apollo scanned all the nobles present, and these nobles who were patrolled by Apollo's eyes couldn't help but lower their heads.

However, Apollo obviously did not intend to listen to their answers, and continued to say to himself: "If I remember correctly, the main force of the Void Empire Expeditionary Army probably still has a strength of close to 100,000. If it is to let Alf on the Western Front When the Thunder Lion led by Reid joins the battlefield, the army will surge to more than 130,000. Can you find me 247,237 soldiers? Even if you remain undefeated, you must Find me 182,237 soldiers."

   All treats equally.

  This is a special talent that Apollo possesses.

  For other generals, even the top ten generals in mainland China, naturally hope that the higher the combat literacy of the legion that can be commanded, the better, otherwise there will be no distinction between ranks five and six.

   But Apollo is a different kind.

  For him, all he needs is a sufficient number of troops. In Apollo's eyes, those so-called ace teachers and elite teachers are nothing more than that one person can be used as three people or as two people. So if there is really no elite army with stronger combat power and military literacy, as long as he has enough troops, he can still fight a beautiful battle.

  It’s just a pity that there is nothing in the Principality of Lembel today.

  A clever woman can't afford to cook without rice, it is the current situation of Apollo.

   "Is there really no way?" A middle-aged man with a slightly haggard face spoke somewhat sullenly.

He sits in the first seat of the secret room. He was still very energetic a year ago. Now he does not look much better than Apollo. He is even more inferior than Apollo in terms of energy and spirit. He looks like he will die at any time. .

  This person is Cecilia’s uncle, who killed Cecilia’s father, his brother, and is now the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Lumber.

  Magellan Lembel.

  He was once recognized as the hero most likely to recover the Duchy of Rembel, because his personal talent is the strongest among all royal bloodlines. But in the end, the transfer of the position of the Grand Duke was not given to him, which made him feel unusually humiliated, and therefore planted the seeds of later civil strife. Especially after hearing that Cecilia had activated the Phoenix bloodline of the Royal Family of Rembel, he had been shocked to sleep for several days in a row.

  Although from a moral point of view, Magellan is indeed a kingslayer, a despicable villain.

  But from the perspective of the Principality of Lembel, Magellan is a very qualified manager. Under his leadership, the entire Principality of Lembel still could not get rid of its status as a puppet, but the entire Principality showed a prosperous development posture, and this alone was sufficient to prove his outstanding political achievements. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Principality of Lembel to still allow so many people to stay.

  If Magellan is really an incompetent person, the first person to abandon him must be Apollo Beta.

"If you want to defeat the Void Empire, unless the Saint Joles Empire sends troops to intervene, or you find me twenty-four, two hundred and thirty-seven soldiers." Apollo shook his head, "The current situation, even if I can The vanguard forces that annihilated the Void Empire Expeditionary Army could not stop the main force afterwards. Therefore, the struggle is futile and pointless, just making unnecessary sacrifices and waste."

  "Couldn't you even be in charge of the battle personally?" Someone protested.

  Apollo needs far more troops than his usual command of the battle, and this is naturally for a reason.

  Because Apollo can't personally go to the front line to be responsible for dispatching, he can only write all the plans into a plan and let the front-line commander read the command according to different situations. This point can easily lead to chaos in the command system. After all, consulting the content recorded in the plan to command, and Apollo just looking at the battle situation and immediately making corresponding arrangements, the time required for the two is completely different.

  Previously, the Duchy of Lembel and Clover’s vanguard had already fought a battle.

  At that time, the Principality of Lembel had as many as 100,000 troops, while the army commanded by Clover as the vanguard was only 60,000.

  At the beginning of the battle between the two sides, Klov was indeed suppressed very badly at one time, and even had to open two separate battlefields to share the military pressure of the Duchy of Lembel. He even doubted for a while whether Apollo was directing himself, and if so, this would be a rare piece of good news for them. Only with the pressure sharing outside the main battlefield, Clover soon discovered that the enemy's commander was not Apollo, so after holding up the pressure, Clover quickly launched a counterattack.

  Of course, this is also thanks to the high morale and military quality of the Cecilia Guards.

  So the final result of this battle is that Klov has lost about 18,000 soldiers-not counting the wounded, but only the soldiers who died and lost their combat effectiveness and could not return to the battlefield. On the side of the Principality of Lembel, more than 27,000 corpses were left - in fact, the number of people who died in the war was about 20,000, and the remaining more than 7,000 were all ordered by Cloff after surrendering. Beheaded.

  In terms of the strength of the troops killed on both sides, the battle loss ratio of the two sides was close to 1:1. This is also the lowest ratio since Clover led the Cecilia Guards in such a long battle. Because of previous wars, for every soldier that Clover lost, he could bring three or even four or more soldiers from the other side to the funeral.

  However, compared with Clover’s unacceptable result, the Duchy of Lembel was even more unacceptable.

  One hundred thousand troops, this is the assembly of thirteen lords, plus the power of the public royal family, if Apollo personally commanded it, it would be impossible for Clover to have any chance of survival. However, on the contrary, because the plan could not keep up with the changes, the front-line commander did not have the sharp commanding awareness and vision of Apollo. As a result, the battle was finally pulled back by Clover, so the Principality of Lumber was so furious.

  "Should I go to battle myself?" Apollo glanced at the opponent with a faint smile, and then a bit of sarcasm quickly appeared in his eyes, "Yes. Then I will die faster."

"What do you mean?"

"What do I mean?" Apollo sneered disdainfully, "Why do you think we are meeting in this secret room? Are you brainless? There are four super powers in the Void Empire, even if only two come, do you believe it or not? As long as I appear on the front line, their super strong will strike me at the first time?... What do you use to block other super strong?"

  Taunted by Apollo's pointing to his face in this way, the face of the nobleman who spoke was green and white, but he didn't know how to retort, so he could only hum and turn his head to give up.

   "Since the opponent has two super strong, why not send them directly? We have no resistance at all."

   "Who knows." Apollo shrugged and said nothing.

  However, the atmosphere in the secret room is getting heavier and heavier.

   Seeing that there could not be any results from this discussion, Magellan immediately waved his hand, announcing the disbandment, and let these temperamental noble lords leave on their own. As for himself, he sighed heavily, then raised his head, his eyes were still sitting on the spot, without knowing what he was thinking.

  After a long time, he recovered a little before realizing that Apollo hadn't left: "General Apollo, what's the matter?"

   "There is indeed one thing." Apollo nodded. (To be continued~^~)
