Chapter 169 Joint meeting, first engagement, call out
A week later, the official first combat joint meeting of Blue Crystal City was held quietly at the headquarters of the city defense army. In addition to military officers at all levels including General Cruyff and General Miguel, those present at the meeting, as members of the Mage Group
The combat force commander, Moriarty, was also present.
Sitting in a seat specially reserved for himself, Moriarty slowly scanned everything around him with a calm expression. In front of him were several generals under General Cruyff's system. The mage was already familiar with most of them.
There are many contacts between public and private matters. On the other side, there is Miguel's faction group. In the meantime, Shahruman is sitting alone in a corner. When Moriarty glances over, this
The seventh-level warrior immediately noticed it keenly and stared back with a very unkind expression. In response, the mage just raised the corners of his lips and turned away.
"Why, are you still planning to settle things with that guy?" Before the meeting officially started, Lear quietly came to Moriarty's side and said with a low smile.
"The city defense army won't share the same hatred of the enemy and fight against the outside world, right?" Moriarty stood up from his position and also smiled.
"Why. Not to mention our side, even General Miguel's side, I'm afraid there are many people who are happy to see Shahruman's jokes." Lear immediately waved his hand indifferently, and then approached Moriarty.
He whispered in his ear: "It's just that you have to be more careful. Although his character is not good, that person still has some real abilities. If you are determined to find face for your subordinates, you need to make more preparations."
"I know." Moriartillo nodded slightly and sat back down again.
Soon, the door to the conference room opened again, and Cruyff and Miguel, two city defense army bosses, walked in one after another. All the officers present immediately stood up and saluted.
"Today is the first time that the Blue Crystal City City Defense Army System and the Azure Mage Regiment Security Squadron have jointly held a joint meeting. The content of the meeting is not much, and you are all soldiers, so I will keep the story short. Everyone, please take a seat." Sure enough, it is the same as what I heard before.
According to the rumors, in the past two or three years, all important meetings within the city defense army have generally been chaired by Miguel, while Cruyff mostly just listened silently.
"Yes, General." Without any noise, all the officers sat back in their seats neatly, looking up at Miguel on the rostrum.
"The first thing is to brief everyone on the war situation. Just two days ago, the leading troops of the Allied forces arrived in the Yonville Valley in the A Coruña Mountains, where they had their first confrontation with the southern bandits' army.
One engagement."
Just as General Miguel spoke, Adjutant Chakochin opened a heavy curtain behind the rostrum, revealing a huge combat map behind it. And on this map, a bright
The red arrow has been marked at the northern end of the Yonville Valley. Opposite it is a row of fence patterns marked in blue. There is no doubt that it represents the Confederate defense line that just fought with the Allies.
.
"Everyone should be well aware that the A Coruña Mountains are a natural chasm that runs through the middle of Bracada, with a total length of nearly a thousand miles from east to west. Except for a few remote and rugged mountain roads that are occasionally embedded in it, only the Yonville Valley is suitable for large armies to pass
.So, it is expected that the thieves directly gave up the layers of defense in the further north area, and directly focused on defense here to wait for our arrival." Taking a long stick from the adjutant's hand, the MiG
Er walked to the map, pointed out the locations of mountainous areas and valleys, and explained in detail.
"Your Majesty General, how was the situation in the first battle?" At this time, an officer stood up and asked loudly.
"We have not received specific battle damage reports from both sides, but according to the preliminary intelligence analysis we have obtained, the Allies are at a slight disadvantage."
"Thank you for your answer, General." The officer nodded and sat down.
As for the setback of the Allied vanguard, everyone present was not too worried. After all, the attack could only be regarded as a small force with a fire reconnaissance nature. If the Yugoslav Alliance had really deployed tight defenses in the Yonville Valley, then it would be difficult to repel them.
It would be a normal result to even defeat the Allied reconnaissance force. On the other hand, if a small Allied force breaks through the valley defense circle in one fell swoop, the Allied high-ups may be worried about whether there is any conspiracy.
"The second thing I want to talk about today is that the Lord of the City has ordered that our troops from Blue Crystal City will officially set off in one month and head to the northern part of the Yonville Valley to join up with other allied forces." Miguel put down his explanation.
Great, walked to the podium and announced loudly to the bottom.
"Oh? Is it true, General?"
"Which brigade is the first to set off?"
"Your Majesty General, Rochelle's Brigade is on standby. Please serve as the vanguard!"
When they suddenly heard the unmistakable marching order, all the officers in the audience immediately stood up and shouted for battle. At this moment, it no longer mattered whether Cruyff or Miguel's faction, as soldiers, all hope that in the future
In the war, they shine and display their own combat power and talents. Therefore, for the most glorious vanguard position of the entire combat force, everyone is fighting for it like a bloody wolf. But only as an "outsider"
Moriarty sat quietly on the side, watching the captains in front of him trying their best to sell their troops like vendors in the market, hoping to be selected by the two generals sitting on the podium.
"The position of each brigade in the battle order, as well as the defensive force left behind in Azurite City, are yet to be finalized by the city lord." Miguel looked at the highly emotional officers in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
"So General Miguel and General Cruyff, what are your opinions?" Although the Lord of the City is the supreme commander of the entire Blue Crystal City army, in fact, the actual military deployment and arrangements will be more respected by the two.
The general's professional advice and arrangements showed that the officers who were familiar with the situation were not willing to give up this opportunity to compete for glory and gain points for their own efforts.
"I'm very happy that everyone has such enterprising spirit and fighting spirit."
At this time, Cruyff, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke slowly. Everyone immediately fell silent and sat down again to listen to the veteran's speech. Miguel also returned to his position.
"Since this expedition is a joint operation of all the northern city-states, we must show our strongest strength from the beginning of the expedition. This is not only related to the face of Blue Crystal City, but will also directly affect our success in this war.
status during the war and after the war. You must first have a clear understanding of this."
"Yes, sir!"
"Since you want to show your strongest strength, you must first know your own background. And we are all soldiers, so we can't fight just by talking." As he said, the old man slowly swept across the officers. "General, your
What do you mean?" At this time, Lille raised his hands below and said.
"So after discussions between General Miguel and I, we decided to hold a large-scale military exercise next week. Speaking of which, we in Azurite City have not fought with real swords and guns for many years. Your team
It has just been expanded and reorganized, and no one can tell what its actual combat strength will be. Therefore, those who want to be the vanguard and those who want to be the main attacker, please show them to me in the exercise." Cruyff chuckled loudly.
road.
"Exercise?" Upon hearing this word, the officers were all stunned, but then their eyes turned red and their fighting spirit boiled over.
"I'm sorry, General Cruyff, Captain Moriarty of the Blue Mage Guard Squadron, please speak." At this moment, Moriarty suddenly stood up and saluted the two generals on the stage.
.
"Okay, let's talk." Cruyff nodded with a smile on his face.
"Excuse me, General, is the exercise you just mentioned only for the internal city defense army, or does it include the entire combat sequence of Blue Crystal City?" Moriarty asked slowly.
"This time, as part of the Allied Forces, we are going to the south to fight for peace. Of course, we will use Azurite City as a whole." The old man replied immediately.
"In that case, our security squadron can also participate?" Moriarty immediately asked again.
"Oh? Moriarty, are you planning to take the initiative to 'fight' with the city defense army?" This time, before Cruyff could answer, Miguel took over the topic with a smile and asked.
However, although he had a smile on his face, his words were extremely unkind, and he immediately placed Moriarty in the position of an external force that would "wreak havoc". Obviously, Miguel, who is extremely experienced in leading troops, had already guessed the opponent's intentions.
Purpose. After hearing the general's words, many officers immediately cast their eyes fiercely at the past. Most of them were naturally the generals of Miguel's faction.
"How dare you, General Miguel." Faced with the unkind glances, Moriarty smiled extraordinarily magnanimously, bowed lightly and said, "It has only been half a year since our guard squadron was established, and the composition of the soldiers is chaotic.
With low combat power, how can it be compared with the elite subordinates of the city defense army?"
"Haha, what did you just say?" Cruyff laughed and said again.
"Because the army has only been established for a short period of time and its strength is weak, I thought of joining this exercise. The brother troops of the city defense army will give the guard squadron some rare practical guidance." As he said this, Moriarty said to the surrounding soldiers and civilians.
Nod gently in greeting.
However, Lille didn't believe such a statement at all.
"Then let's be honest, what kind of guidance does the guard squadron want from the city defense army?" Seeing that the other party's answer was accurate, Miguel did not want to go into details and pointed it out directly.
"I heard that the Saluman Battalion under your command, General Miguel, is a well-known main force in the city defense army. Therefore, I am humble and courageous, and hope that this brigade can provide guidance to the guard squadron during the exercise."
"oh!"
As soon as Moriarty finished speaking, a low voice was immediately heard in the conference room. In fact, everyone present knew more or less about the "little conflict" that occurred between Shahruman and the guard squadron a week ago. But they didn't.
Unexpectedly, Moriarty would take advantage of such an opportunity to openly challenge his opponent on such an occasion.
Immediately, Shahruman himself stood up and stared at Moriarty fiercely: "You want to be beaten, I will help you!"
"Haha, Captain Shahruman seems to have agreed. Two generals, what do you think?" Without even looking at Shahruman, Moriarty just smiled and looked at the rostrum. (To be continued.
