The Senate Proclamation was also a mobilization for total war.
Although the announcement came with many points for different relevant personnel and combat units,
Beyeland's best generals, the Counts of Larmor and Chalon, and the best legions, the Fourth, Sixth and Tenth Legions were all in Verona, and another equally powerful army was thousands of miles away.
, stationed in the Eastern Province, confronting the orcs in the east.
Due to some historical reasons, there are several Beyeland border marquises and earl territories on the border of Odessa. Their troops and the local aristocratic army in Odessa total more than 40,000 people, responsible for defending the long border south of Neck Jersey.
The area from the southeast of the Neck to the Tierne River was the territory of the communist army of Hermann Meyer, the king's good comrade, with 15,000 people there.
These two armies are border guards holding forts and defense lines and have no ability to launch attacks.
In order to deal with the clan alliance army, the king and the Senate decided to send a third army. The 9th and 12th legions starting from Beyeland went to Teutoburg in the north of Odessa, and joined the 16th legion already stationed there.
Together, they formed the core Teutonic cluster on the entire northern front.
The three legions of the Teutonic cluster are powerful standing legions. The soldiers are well-trained and well-equipped, with a total number of nearly 20,000 people. In order to support this army, the Duke of Odessa and his vassals need to provide two auxiliaries
Legion. The vassals of King Aurelius himself, the marquis and counts whose fiefdoms are on the border of Odessa, Sonia, Fiona, and Berthier's elders themselves or their agents must not only fight with the army, but also must provide
An auxiliary corps.
Each Beyeland Standing Corps has ten heavy infantry brigades, as well as engineers, reconnaissance cavalry, communications, military police, medical corps, and military band squadrons directly under the corps. If there is a shortage of troops or special combat missions, the corps and its directly affiliated squadrons will
It was difficult to meet the demand, and additional infantry, archers, light cavalry and engineers were needed to supplement. This part of the shortage was provided by auxiliary legions provided by vassals and local forces.
In this case, regular legions will almost always deploy an auxiliary legion of varying sizes and compositions during combat.
The organization of the auxiliary legion is not certain. It usually has a legion directly under Beyeland as the core, equipped with several battalions of pikemen or light infantry composed of archers and spear throwers. The noble knights and their retinues are mainly local people.
It is the core force of the auxiliary legion and the main source of cavalry for the Beyelan army most of the time.
If you look at it from another perspective, you can also think that the auxiliary corps organization is actually a large number of infantry, cavalry and other brigades and squadrons of various sizes with the Beyeland regular army brigade as the core. For example, in this war, in conjunction with the 3rd
The Beyelan Auxiliary Legion that the Nine Legions fight is composed of the Storm Cavalry Squadron, the Urenas Infantry Brigade, and many other teams with different origins and names.
The combination of these auxiliary corps greatly strengthened the long-range firepower and cavalry and engineering strength of the regular corps.
The auxiliary legions are sometimes unreliable. Except for the Beyeland auxiliary legion composed of the king's vassals, there have been many cases in history of soldiers from other regions collectively defecting on the battlefield. In order to avoid the unpredictable impact of unreliability on the battle situation,
After several military reforms, Beyeland gradually established a cavalry unit directly under the army. The 502nd Cavalry Regiment that Griffith served before was a large cavalry unit of about a thousand people, directly under the command of the army commander who commanded several legions.
Dispatch.
Coupled with expensive and important long-range firepower artillery units equipped with heavy trebuchets, ballistas, and the latest research and development equipment such as snake cannons and eagle cannons, the Teutonic cluster has three regular legions as the core and has many auxiliary legion cavalry and artillery.
and light infantry. They are the main force that the king and the Senate are preparing to use to fight the orcs in the first round. The total number is expected to reach 43,000.
…
Griffith's birthday party turned from drinking, dancing and sharing cakes to a military meeting in the blink of an eye. Everyone present probably had a good idea of their upcoming tasks.
Berthier, who expected that he would definitely be sent to the front line, summed up the people present: "After more second-line troops are mobilized, the main legions of Count Lamore and Count Chalon should be sent to Odessa to fight.
.Before that, according to the information I received, Miss Larmour and I, Dedeus, will definitely be sent to play the first round.
"Media, Ophelia, you will also be transferred to the guard standard corps to fight with the prince."
Everyone was silent. Sonia nervously rubbed against Griffith, and unintentionally sandwiched him with Galadia, unable to move...
Fiona said she didn't understand: "Won't Lana and I go?"
"You and Isius should be transferred to the old town together with other troops to stabilize the place and replace Count Chalon," Berthier said. "The orcs are powerful enemies. The Senate will definitely not count on the Teutonic cluster and nearby
The border guards will be able to deal with them."
Griffith looked through the announcements and attachments and found that there was still a lot of unclear information. He couldn't help but ask Sonia: "Who will be the commander?"
The girl looked at him with wide eyes, as if she didn't understand a word.
"I am 90% certain that he is the prince's teacher, General Maximus." Berthier took over the topic with great confidence. "The prince left so hurriedly in the afternoon, probably because he received an urgent order to rush to the front line. His
The identity appears in Odessa and can represent the king in dealing with many non-military political issues."
Dedeus shrugged his shoulders and interjected: "There must be more people who can't get along with him. He comes to participate in the championship after graduation, and doesn't give the crown to Griffith when he runs away. He must not know the rules.
How is this word written..."
Kurala raised her hand and patted him twice, and Dedeus immediately closed his mouth and stopped chewing.
The scene became very quiet for a while. Berthier looked at his good friend and was stunned for a while before continuing: "I speculate that the actual command power will be concentrated in the hands of the prince. The nominal commander of the army must be at peace with him.
, and also have sufficient experience and qualifications. General Maximus, the Knight of Divine Punishment, is the most suitable candidate."
More information and orders should be sent tomorrow, and the heirs of the great noble families present here and Shutoral will definitely go to the battlefield. After everyone discussed for a while, they all expressed their congratulations to Griffith.
After taking his cake, everyone went back to make their own preparations.
A gloomy mood enveloped Homemonworth like smoke. This was the first all-out war that many people had personally experienced in their lives, and some familiar faces might never come back again.
Griffith also felt full of regret. The crown he had received was gone, the hut on Huayue Street had not yet been decorated, and he had to leave without even holding a party.
When the guests were leaving, Sonia suddenly remembered something, turned around and pushed a cardboard box over. This box was so big that people had no reason to suspect that Sonia had ever thought of hiding in it with gifts.
The Countess blushed inexplicably and said enthusiastically:
"Happy birthday, Griffith!"
This is a pair of gorgeous and flamboyant feathers. The colorful feathers of six different mysterious birds are fixed on the lightning mahogany wood. They are light and gorgeous. They are fixed on the saddle and make the sound of wind as the horse sprints.
In addition to its decorative function, this gift also has mysterious properties. The feather flag is actually a small echo hub. As long as Griffith pours a small amount of psychic energy into it, the feather flag can improve the communication effect of his echo crystal. Even if Even if communications on the battlefield are interfered with, Griffith with the feather flag can still maintain combat communications within a certain range, block interference, and filter out noise.
In addition, the feather flag can significantly enhance his battlefield perception and psychic ripple detection capabilities.
In other words, even on a chaotic battlefield, Griffith can still rely on his feather flags to maintain real-time contact with his comrades, greatly improving command efficiency.
…
The next day, the whole school seemed to have not recovered from the celebrations and carnival. Everyone was sick and very heavy about the upcoming classes.
More intelligence and orders were passed on. Hometown Watts suddenly turned into a large military camp. Preparations for the expedition started as quickly as possible, with Minerva and Roland Houses in all four grades of Homewood Watts. Many people are going to fight. Some of them go directly to the front line, while others are going to fill the gap left by the regular army and official extraordinary people, guarding important rear areas and communication lines.
Such deployment and defense changes will continue until the second and third rounds of mobilization are completed. Then, the young people from Homonworth who serve as mobile forces can withdraw, leaving professional Extraordinaries and conscripts to take charge of local defense.
Griffith allocated a lot of effort and began to prepare and review the army's march and supply plan. Count Larmore was tied up in the battle of Verona, and his eldest son Nolan was in charge of the family. The business is not this material, so the battle can only be left to Sonia.
He and Sonia were to leave Homonworth with Gil and Joshua, join the main force of the two squadrons in Odessa, and then head to Teutoburg with other troops.
For Griffith, the past year was almost always accompanied by fighting. But Jill and Joshua were different. Just one month after entering the academy, they encountered large-scale wars, and they even had to deal with many academy affairs. It’s time to leave if you’re not ready.
This will inevitably affect their studies. But if they can survive the war and make meritorious deeds, the rewards will be no less than several years of hard study.
Griffith was looking at documents on the Silver Moon Tower, drafting plans, and thinking about what he should know at Mr. Hermit's party tonight. Suddenly, Lana came to him quietly and mysteriously, and looked at him carefully. Look at Galadia and Sonia in the distance, and then whisper:
"You have a guest."
"Well, who is it?" Griffith asked nonchalantly.
"It's a girl." Lana's voice was as soft as a mosquito.
So what? Why are you acting like a thief... Griffith looked up in surprise, not thinking there was anything to make a fuss about.
Seeing the confused look on his face, Lana tried his best to lower his voice: "I have never seen such a beautiful woman. Gods for heaven's sake, go quickly, don't let Galadia and Sonia bump into her!"
