Wizard From Afar

When the news of the "death" of Basseye, the owner of the White Wave Banner, spread all over the battlefield, the entire battle also entered the final stage.

The phalanx infantry in the raid has completed the final closing, and with the cooperation of Knight and Archer in the infantry warfare, a large-scale, organized "harvest" centaur is still in the end;

On the other side, the hussars and rangers also began to stop, patrolling the battlefields of corpses and flesh and blood, covering the infantry who searched for spoils of war and wounded soldiers, and by the way completed the dying enemy. Make up;

Only the younger knight-errant knights still refuse to let go of the fleeing enemy, in small groups hunting lone deserters on the prairie.

At sunset, Arrive slowly gathered all the troops, assembled and rushed to the barren hills to join Loren, and stationed a temporary camp of Legion in the same place.

"As usual, one good and one bad, two news."

In the tent of the midnight camp, I looked around at the generals sitting next to Loren, the lightly coughed Ai Kurt opened the mouth and said in a deep voice: "Let’s talk about the bad first."

"After counting the roster, forty-five Knights were killed, and the rangers and hussars killed a total of 122. Ten people, phalanx infantry and heavy infantry killed 800 people, missing and seriously injured 200 people, minor injuries are two to three times this number."

"Especially the two front ranks of the first phalanx. In order to stop the raid, the main force of the White Wave Banner was torn from the center. The front line collapsed twice and suffered heavy casualties. I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain the organization until the wounded recover."

In the camp, all People's eyes cast silently to the black hair wizard, waiting for his reply.

Loren frowned, hesitated.

After such a bloody battle, especially after a big victory, if they are to be disbanded, it is not appropriate to incorporate them into other phalanxes; however, they cannot wait until all the wounded have recovered. , I obviously can't afford to wait.

"Where are the soldiers of the first phalanx mostly from?"

"The Scarlet Blood Castle is mostly people, and some come from the Twin Towers and Loyal Soul Castle." Eckert is truthful. Replied.

"Then reduce the entire phalanx into a flag regiment and upgrade it to, uh... the Duke Long Spear Guard; reward them for being the first to charge, regardless of sacrifice." Loren chuckled: "Luxen will act as the guard Captain, and wait until the wounded is recovered before considering whether to retain the establishment or disband, how about?"

Ackert thought about it quickly, and then nodded said that there is no problem.

This is also possible because of the influence of the empire, which turned the original "Faith Soldiers" in various territories into directly-administered conscripts, and soldiers in Duchy are no longer constrained by various territories.

The advantage of this result is that the armies of each territory are no longer independent and only obey the orders of their own count, but unified allegiance to the duke, obey the command and dispatch, and can disperse and reorganize arbitrarily according to the war situation, and appoint commands. Official;

The downside is that Duchy must bear all military expenses and expenses, and cannot let each territory bear its own; the army must be disbanded when the war is over, and only a small number of Knights and elite sergeants can be retained. Otherwise, it will go bankrupt.

This is also the reason why Byrne could not assemble a large number of troops in a short period of time-in the entire Sacrament Empire, only the Empire’s Legion, the Boe’s Hussars, and the Eboden’s mercenaries can come. with my call, just go away.

"So what's the good news?" Lu Sien asked, "New Captain" on the side.

"We captured the deserted hills and found a foothold in the Great Boy’s collar; we wiped out the White Wave Banner and killed a banner owner, which is the biggest since the beginning of the Centaur War Victory." Eckert explained:

"The most important point is that we have found a way to battle the centaur on the grassland-using the square blockade and the rangers to sweep the two wings. With long-range projected weapons, we can curb the centaur’s penetrating attack;"

"If the enemy does not engage me head-on, choose a detour; the phalanx infantry can quickly extend the line of troops and reduce their movement. Space, we have to fight with our rangers, and then the Knights can launch a surprise attack and annihilate the enemy;"

"And if they use a heavily armored centaur to break through our line of defense, Byrne Knight will let them know who is the real land overlord!"

One-handed scimitar, one-handed sword...This is Loren's two-handed sword technique.

The battle with Martial Goddess Brunnhilde allowed him to broaden his "field of vision", and the most important thing is to master the skill of "using two weapons" at the same time.

The prairie is always the world of cavalry, and Byrne, who mainly reloads Knight and phalanx infantry, can never gain an advantage in flexibility.

If you want to contain the enemy’s advantage, you must force them not to use their advantage; let them lose their flexibility and maneuver space, unable to attack behind, or attack their flanks, and have to fight them head-on.

The front is always the strongest side of Byrne's army.

"Okay, it's all my own here. Who do you want to listen to for a long time?"

Salika of Carefree waved her hand and interrupted her embarrassed look. Eckert turned his gaze back to the black hair wizard: "According to your plan, we took the barren hill camp... and then?"

Loren turned his head and scanned the table for a week.

"We are stationed here and guard it." Loren categorically opened the mouth and said: "Yes, we wiped out the Bailang Banner among the Centaur Tribe Eight Banners, but one of them suffered heavy casualties and was dying. The annihilation of the tribes of the people cannot make them hurt."

"At present, the big Boyi leader is full of centaur sweeping troops. We have more than 20,000 people. Any one of them can be Easily annihilate them, but it will also expose ourselves." Eckert took the conversation and continued:

"But when the Grand Duke Varna’s Boi army arrives, the situation will be reversed...that’s what we should It’s time to attack."

"The deserted hill camp is a rare gathering place in the Great Boyi. The necessary place for Yihe Dwarf Yunling Kingdom’s tripartite trade route!"

"No matter where the enemy’s rear supply line starts, once they start fighting with the Grand Duke of Varna, the rear will be empty, and the logistics supply line will also be empty. He will definitely pass by here."

Eckert turned his gaze to the girl with a solemn expression: "At that time...you must ask our Lord of Great Boys, Miss Salika Jonah!"

"You don't need to say, I know what to do!"

The smile on Salika's face gradually disappeared, and she held the handle of the knife at her waist coldly said: " If this bunch of carrot heads really dare to come out, I swear, none of them will be able to go back!"

The voice of gnashing teeth makes the Knight Lords in this room also sound exceptionally have one's hair stand on end.

"Are there any questions?"

"News from Scarlet Blood Castle, Duke." Eckert glanced at the people around him, cautiously said: "Charlotte Torino Count has formally negotiated with the dwarves and decided to provide a batch of grain and grass to Cloud Peak, who has put down the rebellion; at present..."

"Needless to say." The black hair wizard frowned slightly and sighed: "From today, Don’t say anything about the rear!"

"But, the Duke..."

"It is my decision to make the Roundtable Council regent. I will not go against what I said. "Loren calmly got up and looked around at everyone again:

"Are there any questions?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and none of them came forward.

"Very well, it seems that we have reached a consensus." Loren quietly observed their expressions, especially the Byrne counts: "If this is the case, please start preparing as soon as possible."

"The enemy...will not wait until we are ready to knock on the door."

The silent counts turned and left, only Eckert sighed and shook his head when he left. .

Salika, who looks indifferent, has already left early, hehe haha's pounced on the little wizard's "embrace"; Ayin with a flustered look left as if running away, a string of silver bells outside the camp tent Like laughing and teasing.

Loseen frowned, with a serious expression, seems to be very disgusted with Sarika's "behavior", but he can't say anything, so he can only walk out of the camp alone.

"Lu Sien, you stay."

"Huh?"
