Seeing the hesitation in Thorne's eyes, General Pedro secretly yelled, "Soldier, speak out your dream boldly. No one can threaten you here. Not only can I guarantee you,
Your Majesty the Grand Duke will not allow such despicable things to happen."
General Esmond raised his eyebrows again and glared at General Pedro, indicating that he did not like such remarks.
"Thank you two generals for your attention. Your attention makes me both happy and uneasy, because I don't have any earth-shattering abilities or superhuman abilities. I'm just an ordinary member of the Broken Range Rangers.
Do my part and work hard to protect our common home."
Captain Southall gritted his teeth and carefully considered every word.
"To be honest with you two generals, before joining the Broken Mouth Rangers, I chose to join the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry. However, my ability was limited at that time and I could not even meet the minimum selection standards for the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry. I could only settle for the second best and enter
The Broken Mouth Rangers and the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry have always been my dream team.
But you can't forget your roots as a person. I was trained by the Broken Rangers. I can't abandon my team at a moment's notice, even if the Broken Blood Riders are a brother army. Because today I can abandon the Broken Rangers, and I can do it tomorrow.
Abandon the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry whenever I face a better choice.
And I have always believed that there is no important difference between the Broken Blood Cavalry and the Broken Mouth Ranger, only responsibilities. The two complement each other and are not separated from each other.
If there is no Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry, we Broken Mouth Rangers are just a group of duckweeds that have lost their foundation. No matter how much intelligence we collect, what is the use? Only a powerful execution unit like the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry can break the Broken Mouth Rangers.
The intelligence collected by the Rangers is effectively used.
Without the Broken Mouth Ranger, the Broken Mouth Blood Knight would have lost his eyes and returned to his previous blind state. He would not know where his enemy was and how he could use his maximum strength to hit the enemy every time.
A fatal blow?
I am not afraid of the jokes of the two generals. I have no way to make a choice in this matter. After all, one is my dream and the other is the army that I sympathize with. I can only say that I obey the arrangements of the generals. Wherever I am needed, I will be there.
Where to go.
As far as the current situation is concerned, I personally think that I can exert greater abilities in the Broken Mouth Rangers. After all, I am already familiar with everything here. If I rashly enter the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry, I am just a novice, and I will not see anything better than the ordinary Broken Mouth Blood Rangers.
Ride better.”
"Haha..." Captain Southall had just finished speaking. Archduke Cedric, who had spoken a few words since he came in, burst into uncontrollable laughter and said three good words in a row.
Although Archduke Cedric did not stand up, he straightened his waist and opened his eyes wide, as if a substantial light was ejected, slowly sweeping over the face of his eldest son and confidant.
He said coldly: "Thanks to the fact that you have been in high positions for so many years, not even a single young man has a thorough understanding of the relationship between the Blood Cavalry and the Rangers.
Especially you, Pedro, as an old man who has been with me for many years, you have watched the Rangers I formed with your own eyes. You should know the dilemma that the Blood Riders faced before there were no Rangers, and you have personally experienced the changes that the Rangers have brought to us.
, why are you still so short-sighted? If you can win everything by simply strengthening the combat effectiveness of the blood knights, why should I bother to build up the rangers? Or do you think I am an idiot?"
Pedro, who was scolded in public, was like a cooked prawn, his bald head seemed to be shining red, but he did not dare to refute.
General Esmond just showed a gloating smile.
Archduke Cedric turned around and blasted him with artillery fire, "You still have the nerve to smile? Apart from using this simple and crude method, can't you come up with any useful tricks? You can't keep people, it's other people's problems
But on the one hand, your own problems are the main thing. Fortunately, your soldiers saved your face and did not choose Blood Cavalry in public. Otherwise, if it were me, I would be ashamed to death. I usually ask you to read more books, and you will do it one by one.
Pushing and blocking seems to be pouring poison into your brains. If you continue like this, you will destroy an entire team."
Archduke Cedric pointed his thumb at Captain Southall and said: "Soldier, you can withstand pressure and temptation. To make such a choice, just to be the captain of the Rangers team is indeed an indignity. It seems that we are bleeding.
There are huge loopholes in the talent selection system of the fort, and we must correct this. Recently, I am planning to establish a Guards Staff Department. Are you interested in coming to help me?"
ah!
This time, not only Captain Southall was dumbfounded.
Others present were also dumbfounded, and after being taught a lesson for a long time, the emotional Archduke Cedric was also preparing for his own end.
They admitted that the young captain's performance was indeed good, especially the final argument, which could be called wonderful.
It was somewhat understandable that the two generals were fighting each other in front of each other. After all, it involved an old grudge between the two.
Archduke Cedric jumped in, a bit incomprehensible.
What did he see in the other person?
General Esmond and General Pedro's faces became redder and their necks became thicker.
They accepted the reprimand just now, but what does it mean for him to interfere like this?
One second he was scolding them for fighting overtly and covertly to steal talents, and the next second he did it himself. Is there anything more shameless than this at this time?
Who did they learn this habit from?
He was about to speak, but Archduke Cedric stared back with a fierce look.
"It is my greatest honor to serve His Majesty, and I am willing to obey all His Majesty's arrangements." Captain Southall felt that his body had become lighter, and he performed a salute of allegiance as quickly as possible.
Faced with the choices given by General Esmond and General Pedro, he would still hesitate, but faced with the choices given by Archduke Cedric, he would not at all. Even if the other party asked him to raise horses, he would still hesitate.
No complaints.
"Okay, the matter is settled." Archduke Cedric showed a satisfied smile, "You two stay and listen. Someone, come and give them a stool."
No matter how much resentment they have in their hearts, Edmonds and Pedro can only accept this reality at this moment.
Fighting against the tyrant Archduke Cedric will only make himself more vulnerable in the end, and now they are a little unsure of the other party's true thoughts.
This was the first time in history that this kind of thing had happened. There must be something in this young man that they hadn't seen.
Especially since Archduke Cedric just mentioned a new term - Guards Staff.
Many people were dumbfounded by Archduke Cedric's sudden entrance, ignoring what was the real key.
After all, no matter how good Captain Southall is, in their eyes, he is just a centurion. Archduke Cedric's preparation to form a new department is the real big move that affects the entire Blood Castle.
Soon, the guards added two stools at the bottom of the military conference table. Captain Yales and Captain Southall sat down at the same time, but it was more uncomfortable than standing just now.
Not only because it was their first time to participate in such a high-level meeting, but also because the people present usually made them look up to the existence, which made them somewhat trembling.
Soon they discovered that there was no need for this. Then everyone's attention was no longer on them. They were just two insignificant observers and had no chance to interrupt because the following topic was too much for them.
It's high-end, at least for them now, the amount of information is a bit large.
Archduke Cedric knocked on the table and said, "Judging from a series of comprehensive news, the young tiger in Ulan Baz couldn't hold it anymore and was preparing to attack the old lion in the east to complete the unification of the Odin Prairie.
Big dream.”
Captain Southall couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The West Odin Empire is not preparing to kowtow, but is preparing to launch a full-scale war against the East Odin Empire?
It seems that this possibility is indeed possible. The intelligence I have collected is all about the core tribe of the Theodin Empire, which is gathering troops and supplies on a large scale to prepare for war, but there is no clear information that they are preparing to attack the Bloody Fortress.
Many of the conclusions I draw are based on my own previous experiences.
Captain Southall couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. Fortunately, the Broken Mouth Blood Castle had multiple intelligence lines and could cross-compare them. Archduke Cedric and the others were not misled by him, otherwise his sins would have been great.
"Of course, we can't rule out that Ulan Baz played tricks on us and made us mistakenly think that they were preparing to attack the East Odin Empire. They turned around and led the army to the outside of the Broken Blood Castle. After all, our rangers were staring at them.
The main tribe is not a secret." Archduke Cedric looked around and asked, "What do you think about this?"
"The former one should be more likely. Over the years, the Theodin Empire has been preparing for this matter from top to bottom, especially in recent years, after the young tiger swept away the internal opposition forces.
, has been implementing the idea that the Tiger Clan Royal Court will lead the Odin Empire to regain its former glory, and now it has married a Fox Clan princess as its queen, winning the support of the Queen family.
I heard that this queen not only has a beauty comparable to Queen Miranda, but also has wisdom that is not inferior to her. Ulan Bage, which is now sung all over the prairie, is the reincarnation of Odin the Great and will lead the Odin orcs to a new world.
Brilliance is her handiwork, and this series of information shows that they are preparing to launch a full-scale war against the East Odin Empire.
But these are minor. The real problem should lie with the Eastern Odin Empire. There are rumors that the old lion Arslan became ill in the spring this year. Without his suppression, his descendants
For the sake of the throne, everyone has become restless and constantly friction with each other. This is definitely an excellent opportunity for the Theodin Empire. If Ulanbage has an agenda, he will never let it go."
As the direct commander of the Broken Range Rangers, General Esmond's main job is to collect intelligence on the two great Odin empires of the East and West, so he naturally knows the situation here well.
"I agree with General Esmond's analysis." Although the relationship between General Pedro and General Esmond is not good in private, it is because of personality reasons and not because of any personal enmity between the two parties. Moreover, in their current position,
It is a necessary quality to separate personal emotions from official matters, otherwise it will be easily taken advantage of by the enemy. This is what they do, and they naturally know the taboos in it.
"In addition to the above series of reasons, the most important thing is profit. In previous years, the Odin orcs came to the border on a large scale. Most of them were because of large-scale snowstorms and plagues on the Odin prairie, which caused large-scale livestock deaths. Those Odin orc herdsmen
We couldn't survive anymore, so under the guidance of those big tribes, we went southward in an attempt to pass this disaster on to us.
Since the Theodin Empire acquired the Miracle Peninsula, their disaster resistance has obviously become much stronger. Especially after Ulan Bage took the throne, they attached great importance to the agricultural development of the Miracle Peninsula. In the past ten years, it is said that they have accumulated a lot of grain.
Under such circumstances, even a fool will not come to bite our hard bone."
"Don't mention it, it's true. In the past ten years, all those who have come to harass us seem to be tribes from the East Odin Empire. The West Odin Empire is much more peaceful than before. I thought I was afraid of being beaten by us.
Well, my relationship is getting better, and I don’t want to work hard anymore.”
"The analysis of the two generals is reasonable. The possibility of the West Odin Empire attacking the East Odin Empire is far greater than ours."
"They bite dogs and beat them to death. We can breathe a sigh of relief. In three to five years, there will be no danger of knocking on the edge. If we are lucky, in ten or eight years, we can all sleep peacefully. East Odin
Although the empire has declined a bit in recent years, no matter how weak it is, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. With a little integration, it can still pull out millions of combatable soldiers. The Theodin Empire wants to eat its old master.
I’m afraid it’s not that easy, and if you’re not careful, you’ll be overwhelmed.”
Odin's empire was divided into two parts, east and west.
This split is not as simple as each family taking half in the mathematical sense.
Those nobles in the Byron Alliance only have a borderline of a hundred or ten kilometers, and there are usually many ambiguous areas. It is also said that the Eastern and Theodian Empire is a behemoth with a border of more than a thousand kilometers, plus their
The tribes are all in a nomadic state, and the border lines are more blurred, which has a lot to do with the strength of both sides.
When the Theodin Empire just split from the Odin Empire, it was obviously in a weak state. After all, the Lion Clan Royal Court had been in the dominant position of the Odin Empire for more than two hundred years. The independent Tiger Clan Royal Court obviously did not have many Odin Empires.
With the support of the Din Orc tribe, the Theodin Empire at that time mainly huddled in the Miracle Peninsula and secretly grazed cattle in the surrounding grasslands.
At that time, the territory area ratio was nine to one, with the East Odin Empire accounting for nine and the West Odin Empire only accounting for one.
The East Odin Empire occupies an absolute advantage in land and military strength, and regards the Theodin Empire as a serious problem, and wants to completely eradicate it.
It's just that the ruler of the Lion Clan Royal Court was an out-and-out mediocre person, with a high eye but a low hand. Fortunately, he was very successful and had a good hand of cards, so he played badly.
Within ten years, he organized three consecutive conquests against the Theodin Empire. The first two returned without success, and the third time he was directly ambushed by the Theodin Empire, killing his most elite army of 200,000.
Buried.
Because at that time, he only focused on the Theodin Empire and forgot that there was a Byron Alliance behind him.
They worked hard to make Odin's empire fall into fragmentation. How could they easily restore unity?
Whenever there is a chance, he will stab the back of the East Odin Empire like crazy.
In the following nearly a hundred years, the West Odin Empire has been on the upswing, and the East Odin Empire has continued to lose land and tribes until now.
Even so, in terms of area and population alone, the East Odin Empire still dominates, and the total area is more than twice that of the West Odin Empire.
In terms of population, it's a bit hard to say.
After all, the Theodin Empire is no longer a pure nomadic nation, especially the Miracle Peninsula, which has become a standard semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic nation.
The biggest advantage of agricultural people over nomadic people is that the same land supports different numbers of people.
The same piece of land that is hundreds of kilometers long can only support a tribe of less than 100,000 people on the nomadic side. On the agricultural side, it is not burdensome to increase the population base ten times, even if the farming efficiency is low.
Therefore, in recent decades, the situation of the two Odin Empires has been reversed. The West Odin Empire is more offensive, while the East Odin Empire is more defensive, especially after the Black Tiger Ulan Baz came to power.
The Byron Alliance's strategy also changed, and they began to crazily hold back the Theodin Empire.
As long as the East Odin Empire doesn't take the initiative to provoke them, the Broken Mouth Blood Riders of Broken Mouth Blood Castle will not take the initiative to trouble them.
