Griffith shouted to Russell, reaching out and grabbing the whip in his hand.
This is the first alienated Beyonder of the same model as a member of the Westeros Special Combat Technology Force to be captured, and the value of the information is immeasurable. After leaving the harpy state, Loper is as fragile as an ordinary girl.
Serhurai couldn't hold on.
"Don't give me orders, Griffith!"
Russell yelled at the top of his lungs, the anger igniting in his eyes even startled Rana and Murat who were standing aside:
"Enemy! She is... the same kind as Isius, the monster who killed Kulala!
"Don't you understand! Griffith, I want these monsters,
"Nail them all to the crosses by the roadside!
"From here, all the way to Old Town."
An invisible force suddenly grabbed Russell's throat and lifted him off the ground, leaving him breathless.
The powerful demon hunter grabbed his throat in vain, but couldn't push away the noose-like suffocation, foaming at the mouth.
"Obey, or get out."
With just a wave of his hand, Griffith threw the tall Russell out and fell against the wall like a rag doll. He turned around and looked at Murat beside him.
Murat spread his hands: "It seems that I have no choice."
"Okay, let's take a look at Ophelia's situation. Send this woman away. You can use a confessional, but if you keep her alive, maybe you can get some of our people back."
In order to prepare for the next battle, Griffith still has a lot of things to do. Ophelia is a good interrogator. Although she was injured, she still has no problem asking for information.
After leaving the interrogation, Griffith returned to the office he had prepared for himself in the wizard's tower and began to review reports and orders.
Most of the documents were emergency announcements from nearby towns. The panicked local officials asked all armies for help. The one surrounded by the rebels was only one of the twenty-four regiments of Beyeland, but this regiment and its
The auxiliary troops are one of the few mobile forces in the Verona area.
The same goes for the official documents from the Old Town, the capital of Verona. They sent a letter to the town of Harmanli early in the morning, asking how many people they have on hand.
Beyeland's 24 regular legions are field armies that respond to crises around the world, and have to deal with wars and rebellions all over the world. Of these 24 legions, 17 are spread like peppercorns from Odessa, Sebasto to
In the vast territory of the Eastern and Southern Provinces, a reliable force is necessary to relieve Macdonald's Fourth Army.
However, once reliable troops are transferred from Bijland and other places, it will inevitably cause an imbalance of power somewhere. From the moment a shepherdess of Verona wanted to resist even if she turned into a monster, this war
It has surpassed the Senate's knowledge and control.
Griffith threw the official letter into the trash, poured himself a large glass of ale, took a sip, and sighed deeply——
How chaotic and urgent. The situation in front of us is really——
marvelous!
This thought shocked Griffith. However, he was really happy from the bottom of his heart.
It doesn't matter whether the rebels are backed by Roland, the Confederacy, or some big figures from Salorian or Beyeland. As long as they light a fire in Verona, the Senate that rules the world has no choice!
The Senate only has so many legions. It cannot form a new army in a short time, and there is no money. If there is money in the treasury, why did it fall out with the merchants and factory owners at the beginning of the year?
I remember that the big shots in Beyeland tried their best to light a fire, hoping to use the flames of war to roast Verona and eat it to its fullest. They did eat it, but how many people could have imagined that today it would be their turn to be eaten by Verona.
What about the situation being roasted on the fire?
How many people can imagine that a powerful army with heavy infantry, cavalry, artillery, extraordinary men and wizards would be unable to deal with ragged farmers, herdsmen and miners?
The big shots in Beyeland will definitely use the local forces in Verona to admit the new-style armed forces trained here. They need these troops to deal with the rebels, and in the near future, they will also use these armies to deal with the Confederacy.
The troops that have been or are about to be assembled near the town of Harmanli include a battalion directly under Griffith, two battalions and two squadrons of cavalry given by the earls, and two reorganized battalions. Among these nearly four thousand troops
Most of them are not in the budget and military registers. They are a team that the Senate does not know, the rebels do not know, and the Holy See of the Gods does not know. With this army, there are also capable extraordinary and extraordinary people...
Griffith leaned back in his chair, experiencing an inexplicable feeling.
In January last year, he was ordered to attack the veterans. He had no choice, this was the order.
In March last year, he was sent to the Black Realm to die. He had no place to escape. This was the rule.
Last October, he watched Krista being submerged in the whirlpool of conspiracy and the sea of fire, but he was unable to stop it. This is the will of the gods in the world. Once their power is activated, humans cannot stop it.
In January of this year, Galadia was selected to participate in the Sacrifice of the Chosen One. No matter what those great gods were planning before, the answer will be revealed.
But, this time is different!
The order of the world is collapsing, war is about to begin, and the agents sent by the gods to the world are fighting, and they are not yet careful about the bayonets aimed at them.
This time, Roland and his allies have made plans, and Griffith is in the middle of the chess game. When it comes to the end depends on the course of the war and the decision-making of the players.
Griffith stood up, his eyes gleaming, and his sharp blood surged. He paced back and forth in the small office, and for the first time he gave an answer to a question that he had been thinking about for a long time.
:
Shall I always win for the senate of Beyeland, "for these spokesmen"?
…
In the evening, members of Homon Watts in the town of Halmanli held an impromptu enlarged meeting of the Former Enemies Committee.
Attending the meeting were Griffith, Larner, Ophelia, Midianmaiya, Murat, Russell, as well as the rescued Berthier and a few first-year magic students. The local nobles,
Warren Haydon, whom everyone knew and had fought with in the previous year's war, brought some locals to join them.
They are nobles and officers, or at least Extraordinaries. Together with the reinforcements that are gradually arriving, they have completely controlled the out-of-control situation.
"According to the instructions from our superiors, we established a new Former Enemy Committee, with Griffith, Rana and me as committee members, to coordinate all local defense and carry out reinforcement tasks for the Fourth Army."
Berthier spoke mechanically and coldly. His eyes were dim and calm, and all the light left with Nona.
"Aye~!"
Everyone present responded in unison, indicating their agreement.
Then, Berthier made a report on military affairs.
In addition to the five infantry battalions/brigades and two squadrons of cavalry, local nobles, squires and mercenaries formed a new cavalry squadron, and everyone agreed that Murat would lead them. The organic Berthier column had been eliminated
There was only one artillery squadron left, which escaped the fate of destruction because it failed to follow the main force due to poor roads.
This artillery squadron is equipped with eight latest 6-pound guns with a range of more than 600 meters.
According to everyone's decision, the two battalions reorganized by Halmanly were led by local Russell and local commander Warren Hayton respectively; the battalions of Earl Larmore and Griffith were led by Ophelia and Mi
Dimeia was in charge, Count Chalon's battalion and the dragoon squadron "Black Wolf" were under the control of Lannes, and the "Storm" armored cavalry squadron was under the direct control of Commander-in-Chief Griffiths.
Berthier served as chief of staff and also had direct jurisdiction over the artillery unit.
This patchwork army was named "Griffith Battle Group" according to convention. The entire army had 3,600 infantry, 540 cavalry and 130 artillery, as well as more than a thousand local civilians responsible for transporting supplies.
Their enemies, said to number tens of thousands of warriors, are besieging Macdonald's army two days away. There are also an unknown number of powerful Gulam troops who provide these rebels with mysterious combat capabilities. They
It is composed of young soldiers from the disbanded Westeros Special Combat Technical Force and members developed locally in Verona.
There is a Bayeran Legion that is trying to support the Fourth Legion. However, they encountered terrifying monsters and powerful obstructions, and the battle has not progressed for a long time.
The rebels are very powerful, and even if they draw only part of their strength, they can cause huge damage to Griffith's battle group.
"We cannot attack the rebels head-on," Griffith told everyone about his plan, "nor will we rescue Macdonald. Both tasks are beyond our capabilities."
"?"
Everyone in the meeting looked at him in confusion.
There are powerful extraordinary beings here, as well as infantry, cavalry and artillery. If you don't avenge your companions, what else can you do?
"What Griffith means is," Berthier explained to everyone,
"If you can't beat me head-on, you have to change your home."
