Deni sighed helplessly at Roche's words.

How to boost morale in the army - Deni has been troubled by this problem since taking over this army.

But he really couldn't think of any way to boost the morale of this army.

At the moment when you keep hearing that bad news, it is difficult to arouse the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers just by relying on material rewards.

If he wants to arouse the morale and fighting spirit of the generals, Deni can only think of a victory.

As long as you win a battle, your morale will be boosted.

But this is just a dead cycle.

If morale is low, you can't win a battle.

If you can't win a battle, you won't boost your morale.

If you can't boost your morale, you can't win the battle...

Moreover, they lost their defence to Orleans in this battle, and they were defending the city.

This kind of battle to defend the city with a huge difference in combat power between the enemy and us is to be passively beaten.

If you fight such a passive battle, you will never have the chance to win a refreshing victory...

......

......

After another two days of trek, the Denis finally arrived at the South Gate of Orleans.

Looking at the high-flying Rollin Empire flag on the gates of Orleans, Deni said in a deep voice to Roche:

"Roche, be ready... Maybe this is our place to die."

"......Yes." Roche had a calm face and nodded.

Lead the troops lined up in four columns into the city through the wide open city gate.

No flowers.

There was no cheer either.

The people of Orleans stood on both sides of the avenue, looking indifferently at the Denis who were slowly passing through the city gate and marching in the middle of the avenue.

The expressions of the people...it seems a bit insufficient to describe them with the word "indifferent".

Among the Orleans citizens who were watching the Denis army entering the city, a considerable number of people stared at the soldiers wearing helmets and armor with hostile eyes.

Deny naturally felt the malice that the Orleans city residents had so obvious.

Feeling the malice that the city residents cast, Deni said helplessly in his heart:

——As expected...we are very unpopular...

Deny was mentally prepared early for himself and his generals and soldiers who would not be welcomed by the Orleans city residents.

Because in the "Three Public Rebellion" last year, an incident broke out in Orleans... enough to make Orleans' citizens hostile to the army.

Although the civil strife last year was just a chaotic battle between the vassals, for the sake of safety, the central central of the Rolling Empire still sent an additional army to Orleans to avoid threats from Tuli.

And this army stationed in Orleans...the military discipline is quite bad.

Orleans is very close to Tuli, so this army cannot do such a bad thing as burning, killing, looting, and it must be paid attention to the influence.

But besides burning, killing, looting, they can still do it.

This army stationed in Orleans deceived the citizens of Orleans.

They deliberately offered high rewards to let the Orleans' citizens enter their barracks, help them clean the barracks, clean their weapons and armor, dump their excrement, and clean the toilets... In short, they offered huge rewards to ask the Orleans' citizens to be their slaves.

The rewards offered by the commander of this army were so high that it was hard to refuse, so many urban residents happily went to the army's barracks, doing all the swearing words and tiring work.

After the "Three Duke Rebellion" was quelled and no longer needed to station troops in Orleans, the temporary army stationed in Orleans withdrew from Orleans.

After evacuating Orleans, the compensation agreed with the citizens of Orleans was naturally not given a single child.

In other words, the citizens of Orleans have worked in vain for nearly two months.

This cowardly anger would be unbearable for anyone.

Although some brave people planned to expose the evil deeds of this army to their superiors, because the commander of this army was born into a powerful nobleman, no one was willing to help the poor Orleans citizens stand up.

This matter was left unresolved.

But the seeds of hatred have been planted in the hearts of Orleans' citizens.

Deney did not know that this incident happened in Orleans only after taking over the 20,000 army a few days ago.

After learning about this, Deny was so angry that his whole chest was about to explode.

He really wanted to chop off the guy who did this kind of evil deeds with his own hands.

The invading Britannian army was several times more than them - this was originally a life-and-death battle.

Now because of that guy, it has become more difficult for him to defend the city now.

If that person was right in front of Deni, Deni might have really chopped up this traitor who did something wrong, which led to Orleans being lost, and the Rollin Empire was very likely to destroy the country.

Deney looked at the Orleans people who were looking at their Orleans city people with indifferent or hostile eyes.

Then he sighed silently.

......

......

That night.

"Coach Deni, it's so bad..."

In the room where Deni was resting, Roche sat on the chair with a tired look on his face, and then smiled bitterly:

"There are Britannian troops outside, and the Orleans citizens who regard us as enemies inside. How should this battle be fought..."

As soon as Roche finished speaking, Deni sighed softly.

"The 20,000 soldiers who were weak in morale could not defeat the 150,000 Britannian army with high morale and tigers and wolfs."

"So - according to my initial combat concept, if I want to defend Orleans, I must obtain the support of Orleans' citizens."

"Orleans originally had a population of 600,000, but now many people have fled, so I don't know how many people there are left in Orleans now, but there should be 300,000 people."

"As long as you can get the support of all the citizens of Orleans and get their help, the battle with the Britannian army will be much easier."

"So - no matter what, we must repair our relationship with the Orleans' citizens and gain the support of the Orleans' citizens!"

"Coach Deni...I understand what you said."

Roche sighed lightly.

"But - what should we do to regain the trust and support of Orleans' citizens..."

"You should be able to see from the eyes that the city people shot at us when we were 'welcoming' us in the middle of the day, right?"

"That bastard caused a lot of harm to the citizens last year."

"The people of Orleans have a very serious hostility towards us."

"If you don't want a reliable and effective method, there is no way to eliminate the misunderstanding and hostility of Orleans' citizens towards us."
