Section 266 Colleagues

"Logistics?" Robin thought, and then he quickly understood what Belar meant. "So that's the case. Due to the specific geographical environment and the coordination of manual arrangements... If Chaos wants to invade the Seven Kingdoms, he must face the White Fort. However, there is a very large unmanned land between the White Fort and the northern grasslands occupied by Chaos."

"That's right, that's what it means, logistics." Berel said. "Even the Chaos warriors need food and drink. If they want to siege the White Fort, then logistics supplies must be transported from the grassland... So if the Chaos soldiers are under the White Fort, then they have to face the logistical test... It is precisely because of this that the Chaos invasion can only invest so much. It can be understood that although the soldiers are combat power on the battlefield, they are also a logistical burden on the other hand. In addition, the terrain of the White Fort is also very particular. To attack the solid castle, 30,000 to 50,000 people can fill the battlefield. Even if the troops are huge, it is meaningless to be unable to enter the battlefield. It is precisely because of this that the Chaos invasion has never caused a real fatal threat or loss to Groone for hundreds of years."

Robin already fully understood what the general meant. "The wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated."

"In fact, a single White Fort can still be dealt with, at least for Chaos, there is another way." Berel stretched out a finger. "That is to surround the White Fort with a part of its strength, making it weak, and then other troops flocked in... relying on robbery to maintain logistics. However, Garunas had expected this for a long time, so he built three lines of defense...all of which were reliable defenses formed by solid castles. No matter how big or small castles were, even small villages were

Zi has strong fortifications. In addition, he also creatively invented the so-called "custody" system, which makes the border lords have far more powerful power than they actually are. In other words, if Chaos invades, they will face fortresses that are stronger than walnuts, which cannot be broken or swallowed. Sooner or later, they will be dragged down by hard battles and lack of logistics. Then when Chaos is exhausted and has to retreat, and then organizes troops to pursue them, and it will inevitably be invincible."

A soldier rode a horse from the front. Because he was now a safe march on the roads of the Allies, Belar did not send many scouts, and the only one was the racquet who was looking for the road ahead.

"Master Belar," the outpost soldier rushed to Belar. "The city of Neustria is not far away. If we speed up the march, we should be able to arrive tonight. We can also rest on the spot for one night and go to the city tomorrow."

"It's better to arrive as soon as possible, General." Robin suggested.

"Okay, let the soldiers speed up," Belle also thought this choice was better. Since there were a large number of magicians provided by the church in the army, the magic communication was very smooth, so he knew the situation of each unit at this time. The troops were advancing along different routes, and Belle and his ranks were relatively slow. At this moment, more than 70% of the troops had gathered in the city of Neustria.

"By the way, General, your future partner is..."

"Future partner?" Berel smiled slightly. Because of the previous agreements reached by the coalition forces, Berel's last position was deputy general, so it means he will have several colleagues. "I know one, Pari, who is the son of Rafa. It has been a while since he may marry that little queen."

Speaking of this, Robin was quite unfair. Because in the last battle against Chaos, Berell was the main general, and Pari's father, General Rafa, was the deputy general under Berell. But now more than ten years later, Pari has become Berell's colleague - this may make sense in logic, but emotionally, people always feel that they have suffered a big loss.

"That young man..." Beller recalled in his mind. "I remember being a good young man. He is modest and polite, but I don't know if it's suitable for this position. If it's not suitable, I'll probably die."

"Will you die?"

"Because that Eush Rufat is not a tolerant person. If he fails to complete the assigned tasks or makes any big mistakes, he may be killed directly."

"But he is Rafa's son!" Rafa was Groney's old general, with great prestige and power (otherwise he would not be qualified to compete with Byron, who was the Regent). If it was his son, no matter who it was, he would have to give him some special treatment. In other words, unless he committed a serious crime such as rebellion and rebellion, he could not be executed directly.

"It's useless to be the son of the gods in the Star Realm." Beral replied thoughtfully. "Robin, don't let outsiders say these words, just say them ourselves."

"Don't worry, General. By the way, there is also that Balanca..."

"It is said that he is a mercenary captain. He was promoted by Byron to the deputy general of the Guards... He should be a very capable person. Haha, it seems that there are actually many talents among the mercenaries. He has a very unique vision."

"I'm very good at speculation." Robin was very clear about Baranka. "At the moment of the coup in Eagle City, he joined the Queen's command at a critical moment, and suddenly changed from a mere mercenary to a knight. Then as the Queen defeated Byron, she was promoted again..."

"Robin, you are underestimating others now." Berel said with a smile. "The so-called 'speculation' also requires great courage and luck. For example, you change your position with Baranka and put yourself in the shoes of the situation: the queen ran to the military camp alone, Byron has already controlled the Hawk City. At this time, what you need to stand up and support Her Majesty the Queen is not a little bit of courage. Because if you are wrong... the consequences are not very good. Besides, this does not give you enough time to carefully consider the pros and cons and make a choice, but an emergency event that is mentally unprepared, and it requires a choice in a very short time... One such person, vision, courage and luck are indispensable. These three are also indispensable conditions for being a general."

Although Robin was still a little dissatisfied, he was unwilling to continue talking to Beller.

"By the way, Robin, I'll test you a little problem. You know, the army in the Stigia region usually has four deputy generals under the commander, but we are used to missing one. Why is that?"

"This is because of the difference between national habits. Our habit is that three deputy generals command the left wing, central and right wing, and the commander is in charge of the rear command and control the reserve team. In the Stigia area, different deputy generals command archers, militias, knights and reserve teams respectively. The commander controls the deployment and formation of the troops. We allocate three deputy generals according to the formation, and they allocate four deputy generals according to the troops."

"On the surface, this is actually related to social concepts. Although we also pay attention to titles, bloodliness, etc., in the final analysis, we still have the position first. Even if we are a civilian, if we hold high-level military positions, we have the right to command subordinates who are from nobles. However, in the Stigia region, status is first. If we don't have enough backgrounds, even if we have a higher position, it is difficult to order subordinates who are from prominent backgrounds. The status of knights and civilians is too different... Oh, someone is here!"

A thread of smoke appeared in front of him. With Berel's experienced eyes, he could tell at a glance that it was a cavalry of about a hundred men. The cavalry quickly approached Berel. That should not be the enemy.

Berel made a gesture, and several officers around him immediately met him and intercepted him at about dozens of steps away from Berel.

"Is this General Belle's team?" Belle clearly heard someone talking loudly. Looking at the sound of the speech, he saw a young officer. He was wearing beautiful and neat armor, wearing a brightly colored striped cloak, and his helmet was decorated with long red bird feathers. Well, this is the preference of young people. Veterans like Belle, who have been through the battlefield, have long replaced the magic armor he usually wears with ordinary armor, and the cloak is replaced.

It became an ordinary gray dirty-resistant cloak, and even the decoration on the helmet was as ordinary as possible. In short, he made himself look unobtrusive as much as possible, so as not to be discovered by the enemy and attacked at the first time. Of course, the mount under his crotch was exceptional. Beller rode a real famous horse. As mentioned earlier, for this battle, Beller had almost suppressed all his property, and this horse was almost the most valuable thing in his name.

As the saying goes, "The battle gets older and the courage gets smaller and smaller" refers to the situation in Beller.

"General, they seem to be here to find you..." Robin said softly.

"This is... by the way, I remember that this young man is Parry, Rafa's son!"

After recognizing the other party, Beller immediately rode his horse to meet him. "Yo, isn't this Parry?" He looked at the young man in front of him with a smile on his face.

"His Excellency Beral..."

"I'll be seen here. I remember the last time I met, you called me uncle!" Berel laughed. "It's such a coincidence. I want to arrive in the city of Neustria tonight and meet you."

"Your Excellency, you laughed." Parry seemed a little restrained. "I heard that you are here, I will come to pick you up."

"Oh, that's a good relationship. Thanks to love, I can't stand panic." Berel said with a smile. The two sides quickly rode together side by side. After a few polite greetings, Berel quickly turned to the topic.

"How is your father?"

"My father... is not in a good situation. Alas, the magic of chaos has eroded his body and soul. Although he has been treated by the priests of the church, his life is worry-free, but he can only stay in bed at present."

The two sides began to talk about what happened in the past in half.

Speaking of this, Pari was really very upset. If it weren't for the inexplicable insult to the chaotic evil god believers, the current situation would have never become like this. At least it wouldn't be possible that the current situation was: Eagle Falcon City casually sent a mercenary-born Balanka, who had easily taken over the military power with the queen's will.

But the current situation is stronger than people, and they no longer have the capital to bargain with Eagle City. When they were fighting with Byron before, Rafa almost managed the north into a territory controlled by private forces, and all the troops were under his personal control (there are legends that some lords personally swear allegiance to him). Now all the previous efforts have been wasted. From ordinary soldiers to Parry himself, they can only accept Eagle City's orders obediently, and dare not violate them at all.
