Chapter 201 of their own benefits, voluntary, agreed
"What? Are you asking our Olympus Squadron to send fifty people to participate in some bullshit 'Operation North Wind'? Your Majesty, who's stupid idea came up with this? Isn't this a clear plan to gnaw at our brothers?"
A few days later, when a secret instruction from the upper echelons of the Mage Corps was conveyed to Moriarty and secretly conveyed to the squadron officers, the Young Faction headed by Guderian immediately exploded.
"Your Excellency, the strategic significance of Operation Beifeng is undoubted, but the risks involved are also extremely high. Is it too much to impose such a heavy responsibility on Olympus?"
For the first time, White did not directly suppress the "rebellion" of the silver-bearded dwarves. Instead, he clearly sided with Guderian. Obviously, this battle order, which was like a death notice, even made the deputy who paid the most attention to orders and prohibitions the most.
The squadron leader was furious.
"The order was given to me by Mr. Depra in person, and it cannot be changed." Moriarty pressed his hands to let the officers calm down before saying in a deep voice.
"So, it seems that the City Lord's Mansion must have offered some heavy bargaining chips in exchange for a compromise from the upper levels of the Blue Mage Group." At this time, Clausewitz suddenly gently took off the small round hat on his head and used a piece of it.
He wiped it carefully with a small linen handkerchief and said slowly.
"Yes." Moriarty looked at the old werewolf and nodded.
There is no doubt that in order to obtain the approval of the Grand Arcanist of Figaro and agree to pull out half of the only powerful escort squadron to serve as a death squad, Mrs. Hanquan must give a high price as compensation. Otherwise, no need
When Dean Hockenheim opened his mouth, Depra had enough reasons and excuses to reject such an rude request from the Azurite Corps.
"I don't know the content of the more secret agreement, but at least the city government has agreed to give Hockenheim the public establishment of an additional magic puppet company in addition to the Olympus Squadron. Once the Civil War is over, it can be officially
Formation." This news was stated by the high-level mage Depra himself, so there is no doubt about it.
"Magic Puppet Company? Does Hockenheim also plan to get a bunch of war iron fists?" White asked immediately.
"It's not necessarily a golem, it could be a gargoyle." Moriarty shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the details: "After all, it's not easy to reproduce and mass-produce a complete version of the steel golem.
thing."
"Holy shit! The Mage Corps sold us out for a bullshit puppet company. Do you really think Olympus is a coolie camp?!" Hearing this, Guderian cursed again.
"What about us? What kind of compensation measures are there for Olympus Squadron?" Clausewitz stopped what he was doing and asked in a deep voice: "Since the Allied leaders sincerely hope to destroy the Olympus Squadron through Operation North Wind
In the rear manufacturing workshop of the goblin airship, the commando members must be willing to die heroically. Otherwise, forcing people to rush to the battlefield will probably be counterproductive."
"That's right. When Master Depra conveyed the order of Operation Beifeng, he also gave some incentives for Olympus, including those from Hockenheim and the City Lord's Mansion." Moriarty sighed softly.
He took a breath and said.
"Oh? What did they pay for their lives?" The silver-bearded dwarf blew his beard disdainfully.
"Permanent tax-free rights for the Earth Studio; a fourth-level spell learning scroll; after the war, the Olympus Squadron can be privatized and become the exclusive guard of the Earth Studio, but the City Lord's Mansion and Hockenheim College still bear the responsibility
Half of the provisions and military pay." Without any concealment, Moriarty straightforwardly stated to the officers the possible bargaining chips he had received.
"This...is really not that low!"
Although he didn't want to admit it, when he heard the compensation for Olympus given by the superiors, even Guderian had to admit that it was extremely generous. Speaking of permanent tax exemption rights alone, based on the current annual output value of the earth at work
, this alone may be worth tens of thousands of Brakada gold coins in a year; and the significance of a fourth-level spell scroll to a mage, even ordinary people understand what an irresistible temptation it is; and the most exaggerated
It is a license to privatize the Olympus Squadron, which is simply a pie-in-the-sky adventure. You must know that in the current Azurite City, only the city lord himself and the two big boss generals of the city defense army have private ownership.
Qualifications of the Guard. Even the Great Arcanist Figaro is not yet able to equip an open guard. Of course, because Olympus needs to mobilize elites to carry out Operation North Wind, and the war is far from over. So
When the civil war ends, it is not clear how many soldiers will be left in Olympus.
However, taken together, these three compensation agreements obtained by Moriarty really struck a chord with the squadron leader himself. For ordinary commanders, there should be few people who would trade half of their men's lives for such conditions.
You will hesitate.
"Morty, what do you think?" There was a dead silence in the conference room for a long time. Finally, Margaret broke the silence and asked directly.
"I will personally lead the team for this operation. As for the other participants, they will be selected through voluntary registration." Moriarty did not hesitate and immediately revealed the case he had decided on.
"Are you crazy? This is impossible! There is no way Hockenheim would let you participate in such a dangerous combat operation." Upon receiving such feedback, the female werewolf immediately shouted angrily.
"Yes, any ruler with a right mind will not let a promising alchemist in his own camp become a dead soldier. This is not only an extreme waste, but also a shocking crime." On the side, the old werewolf also said coldly.
.
"Moty, the price offered by the city lord's palace and the academy this time is not low. Let me go and bring the armored infantry and some crossbowmen, which should be enough to complete the task." At this time, White suddenly took a step forward and said
Determined.
"Okay, you don't need to say any more, my will is unshakable. After all, I am not a cold-blooded commander who lives by drinking the blood of his soldiers." He looked around at everyone slowly until his gaze overwhelmed everyone.
Dare to say anything more before Moriarty spoke again.
"You are really..." Looking at Moriarty's young but majestic face, White and others wanted to say something else, but in the end they were unable to speak.
"Okay. Now that you have made your decision, we will resolutely implement your will. As the vice-captain and mage follower, I will advance and retreat with you both publicly and privately." Without further ado, White was the first to say.
"Oh my God! White, you are stealing my lines! If you are going to cause trouble in the hometown of the 'Little Green Skin', how can you leave out Moradin!" Guderian jumped up immediately.
"Your Excellency, 'gunfire' will always be a sharp blade in your hand." Gustav, who was usually taciturn in military meetings on weekdays, then gave Moriarty a military salute.
"Behemoth has never been a coward who retreated without a fight, Your Excellency." Margaret seemed a little ashamed of her last speech and could not help but gritted her teeth and said: "Please allow the Wolf Riding Company to serve as the vanguard of this operation!"
Seeing that all the officers expressed their willingness to participate in the northern operation with him, to carry out this dangerous mission like a dance with the god of death, Moriarty was not only moved, but also felt ashamed. Because no matter what
No matter how you look at it, they still have to fight life and death, but it is Moriarty himself who makes the most profit. If White and Guderian, as followers of the mage, still have certain obligations to go on adventures with them, then Marriage
Gretel's active companionship comes more from loyalty, bravery, or other emotions.
"Your Excellency, I request that from now on, we immediately launch a comprehensive tactical deduction and corresponding combat drills for Operation Beifeng. At the same time, we must find one or several different retreat route plans in addition to sea transportation. Only in this way,
Only in this way can we ensure that the Olympus Squadron has the greatest chance of surviving the battlefield." Unlike the positive statements of the young officers, Clausewitz had already begun working on a specific action plan.
"Thank you, everyone!" Moriarty took a deep breath, slowly suppressed the emotion in his chest, and then gave a standard salute to everyone: "...As your commander...I am very proud! Olympus, Wan Sheng
!”
"Olympus, victory!" shouted, and the officers also saluted each other in unison.
Because of the top-secret nature of Operation Beifeng, the subsequent battle preparations in Olympus were carried out in a completely closed state. And when Moriarty reported the final list of personnel to the Blue Mage Group, there was no doubt that
He received strong opposition and encouragement from Master Depra.
Just kidding, even if the importance of Operation North Wind were ten times more serious, it would never be worth exchanging Hockenheim's future star. To be honest, in Depra's original considerations, it was not worth using half or even more than half of Olympus.
The squadron is exchanged for the establishment of a new magic puppet company under the academy and to obtain considerable private benefits for Moriarty. In fact, it is not objectionable. Because in the view of the high-level mage, the so-called power or guards are not as important to the real
For the mage profession, it is nothing more than an external possession. What is really worthy of attention is still the magic itself.
But now, Moriarty is so naive that he wants to play "lead by example", which really hurts the old man's heart. And for some reason, Moriarty's attitude is very determined this time. Even Depra can't force him with his identity.
He was forced to turn around. Finally, he had to report the list to Dean Hockenheim.
However, to his complete surprise, Figaro actually agreed to Moriarty's request. In response to such feedback, De Pla was truly speechless. He could only sit back and watch Moriarty continue his madness.
However, the high-level mage was so angry that he had nothing to say, but that didn't mean that others would also sink.
I don’t know where I got the rumor from. One dark and windy night, the three Naga brothers secretly entered Moriarty’s military tent and lodged a solemn protest and serious negotiations with the other party. (To be continued.)
