Chapter 125: Entrusted with Important Assignments
Although William was not transferred to the legion headquarters as deputy legion commander, he was promoted to a higher rank and his influence in the Northern Legion was greatly increased.
The third brigade he transferred to was also the main brigade of the Northern Army, and its combat effectiveness was stronger than that of the sixth brigade.
With him in the Northern Army, there are people above Bernie, and below them are the backbone promoted by William.
Even if the new captain wants to replace him with one of his own, it will take a long time to slowly mobilize him.
After all, there are no vacancies, no mistakes are made, and it is difficult to replace people easily in the army.
Richard said hello to his third uncle Bernie, and sat in the seat of the commander of the Heihe County noble coalition. He looked at the officers beside him, and found that Richard's position was relatively forward.
All the officers attending the meeting had arrived, but Jerram and the butler Savile stood at the door of the city lord's mansion, respectfully waiting for someone.
"The coalition of nobles from Heihe County came yesterday. How is their quality?"
Seeing that the commander-in-chief, Duke Roger, had not yet arrived, Jerram asked Savile quietly.
"I took a look and found that Richard has a good view of the overall situation. He has mobilized three main squadrons and a squadron of Warcraft Cavalry. Half of the noble coalition forces in Heihe County are elite soldiers." "I originally wanted to attack Richard
. I didn't expect that he would mobilize elite troops, and I was in a dilemma. I didn't know what to do.
"The Blood Horn rebelled, and the rebellion could not be put down for a long time. At this critical moment, there must be no internal fighting. There is no way to hide the commotion from the old fox in the capital, and he must be held accountable when the time comes.
Moreover, Richard has a very bad temper. If we punish him, the backlash from this person will probably be fatal. We need his help now. We must not annoy this person and cause trouble for ourselves.
I think Richard leads the most elite army, and logistics should be given priority to replenish him. This will not only consume the elite troops under Richard's command, but also leave a reputation in the capital for taking the overall situation into consideration. "
You are right. Since I can't offend a young man like Richard, I might as well praise him and let him confront the rebels head-on to consume his strength before making the next plan." "
While the two were whispering, Duke Roger, the commander-in-chief of the counter-insurgency campaign, rode a unicorn to the provincial consul's residence.
Roger is the younger brother of King Charles and holds two titles, one is the Court Duke and the other is a hereditary earl.
As nice as it sounds, a court duke needs the trust of the kingdom to wield power.
Moreover, the title of Palace Duke is not a hereditary title and will be reduced in the next generation.
After five generations, the descendants will become ordinary people.
The hereditary earls are the real nobles of the kingdom. As long as the territory is there, the title can be inherited.
But it is very difficult to become a great noble. Kill legends on the battlefield, command a famous victory, open up territory for the Kingdom of Grant, and make military exploits. Or he has made many military exploits and accumulated enough fiefdoms.
In the past hundred years or so, the Kingdom of Grant has only had two new earls, Roger and Martins.
Although Roger is about the same age as William, his achievements are much greater than William's.
Although not as famous as Martins, the legendary orc slayer, his merits accumulated over the years are enough to become a hereditary earl.
In defeating the orc army two years ago, Roger and his Warcraft Cavalry also played a very key role.
This time, the king did not use Martins to quell the rebellion, but chose Roger. In fact, the purpose was to allow Roger to accumulate military exploits, increase his prestige, and at the same time make a war fortune and speed up the management of the territory.
Rumor has it that King Charles advocated the appointment of Martins as commander, but Duke Brenner advocated the appointment of Roger.
Duke Brenner is over one hundred and eighty years old. The knight bloodline of the Grant royal family is the Fiery Lion, and the source of the extraordinary bloodline is not an immortal seed.
Even if precious medicines are used, it can last up to twenty years. If Roger is unable to take on the important role twenty years later, the political structure of the Grant Kingdom may be in trouble.
Duke Jonathan, a dragon-blooded knight, might gain a lot of prestige and suppress others.
Although there are five legends in Grant Kingdom, the other three are warriors and one is a vassal of Duke Edward.
Legendary warriors do not have bloodline spells, and their combat power is not much different from that of legendary knights. It takes two or three people to join forces to compete with legendary knights.
Moreover, the lifespan of a legendary warrior is only 150 years, while the legendary knight of the dragon vein can live for 300 years. By then, I am afraid that there will be a situation where the outside is more important than the inside.
For the next two hundred years, the Grant royal family will also live in the shadow of Duke Jonathan. Once the power of the two families is imbalanced, the Grant dynasty is in danger of collapse.
Roger said hello to Jerram, then nodded with Savile and entered the venue.
Roger spread out a map, pointed to the Victory City in Canyon County on the map, and said: "According to the secret report, the Scarlet Horn has prepared to hold a large-scale blood sacrifice in the Victory City, hoping to awaken the God of Slaughter. Blood
Sacrifice The date is set on October 14th, which is the birthday of the God of Slaughter.
In order to prevent the evil god from awakening early, we must rush to break through the City of Victory before October 14th and destroy the blood sacrifice ceremony of the Blood Horn." Hearing
. Richard was shocked by this explosive news.
He had been in Dawn Continent for eleven years and had only heard of the Church of the Seven Gods. He never expected that there were evil gods in this plane.
Richard was confused as to what was going on with the God of Slaughter.
After all, Richard's background was very low, and he didn't know any secret information.
However, hearing the name of this evil god and looking like he was not easy to deal with, Richard felt a little worried in his heart.
Seeing the solemn expressions of the officers present, Roger knocked on the table and said: "The Blood Horn cult has a total of six legends. This time, the legendary black magic master Mallo, the Night Walker, came to our Grant Kingdom to cause trouble. But there is no need to worry
. , the Church of the Dawn will send a Cardinal Mavilla to help us. Marlo is dealt with by the legend of the Church of the Dawn, and our task is to suppress the rebellion and kill the cultists hiding in the country.
我决定以北境军团两个大队，王室骑士团为核心，直插叛军大本营胜利之城。罗门郡贵族联军，莱特郡贵族联军跟随主力作战。
黑河郡贵族联军实力较强，可以承担偏师任务。增援布雷纳郡，配合布雷纳郡贵族联军，肃清叛军。
进入布雷纳郡后，李察男爵担任两郡贵族联军指挥官。”
“保证完成任务。”
布雷纳郡人口众多，几乎是黑河郡的两倍，超过了百万人。这个郡的贵族虽然已经是后方，但是每次兽人入侵，依旧会征召他们，参与兽人入侵战争。战斗经验比不上黑河郡，却比更南边的峡谷郡强一些。
布雷纳郡的世袭贵族传承多年，领土开发的早，普遍比黑河郡贵族富裕，他们的麾下，就能供养更多的脱产士兵。
因为是守土保家，布雷纳郡的世袭贵族拼尽了全力。这个郡的贵族联军，实力上可是比黑河郡组织的联军强不少，总共有十六个中队的正规军，还有十二个中队的辅兵。加起来超过四千人。
按照常规来说，应该是布雷纳贵族联军指挥官担任总指挥，李察担任联军副指挥官。
李察没有见过罗杰公爵，没想到他竟然对自己委以重任，总览局面。
