Lord of War

  The march of 15,000 infantrymen is extremely powerful.

  Although Thain has repeatedly emphasized making these people pretend to be more sloppy and decadent, he can still see many characteristics that only Jing Rui veterans have. This made Thain’s heart even more yin sinking, because he knew he was given a line by Hela: Although he was the commander of this army in name, in fact, the Fourth Army of the Kingdom of Dabion The soldiers did not really obey his orders at all.

  If even he could see the special nature of this army, it would be impossible for people like William and Sean to fail to see it.

   Originally wanted to kill Sean by surprise, but now in this state, let alone killing Sean by surprise, I am afraid that even he himself will be dragged into the water. In order to kill Sean, he can do whatever he wants, but if he is completely hopeless, then such a result is not what he wants.

  Thinking of this, Thain had already made a decision in his heart.

This army departed from Mitchlin City under the leader of Day, and did not go through the leader of Yadby-so it only takes half a month to reach the core of the leader of Panda, which is the economy, politics, and culture of Sean. In the center of the Void City, but in terms of food and supplies, it is obviously not satisfactory. For the soldiers of the Fourth Legion of Darbion, who has been receiving the highest level of treatment in the Kingdom of Darbion, this is naturally a painful process.

About half a month later, when this army officially arrived in the outskirts of Void City, only from its embarrassed appearance, to say that this army was the Fourth Army of the Jing Rui Army of the Kingdom of Darbion, not many people would really believe it. . But for people like Thain and William who are really good at the army, it is not difficult to discover the nature of this army hidden under the embarrassed appearance. After all, you have to know that these five thousand people are not there. The logistics unit is taking care of it, so it’s hard not to be embarrassed after more than half a month’s journey.

  In the suburbs of Void City, several camps have been established here, judging from the scale, they are all over 5,000 people, and two of them are even 10,000 people. If you say that the forces gathered in the void city at this moment, there are 40,000 people, which is almost half of the total force under Xiao En's command.

  Sean glanced at these camps and found that almost all of them were hung with black square flags.

  This is a mercenary banner different from the title banner.

As we all know, the designation banner is a special honor of the military. Each designation banner is recorded in the military history. It can not only study the origin, year and month of establishment, but even the commanders of the past generations, belongings, major changes, etc. There are detailed records, so the designation and banner are not arbitrarily used.

  But the mercenary regiment is also equivalent to the army in its essence, but these mercenary regiments belong to the unowned army, so in order to distinguish them from each other, they will naturally draw some unique things on the flag. It’s just that these are not designation flags, but are called mercenary flags—different from the gold and silver borders of the designation flags, the mercenary flags mostly use red, black, and blue as the borders of the banner. The meaning also symbolizes red rock, black iron, and bronze.

  In the world of mercenaries, it is also a kind of knowledge to use the fringe of the color se, as long as the combat power is compatible with the strength, the upper-level color se can be used as the flag fringe.

Like the red se, it is usually used by small mercenary groups or fledgling mercenary groups; the black se fringe means that the size of this mercenary group is more than 5,000; as for the green se, they are usually large-scale mercenary groups. The symbol of this means that the number of people on the scale exceeds 30,000.

  There is also a kind of Yan se on top of the green se, which is different from the golden se, and belongs to the exclusive fringing of the top ten mercenary regiments. If you want to get this kind of fringe, there is only one way—replacement.

   Of the seven camps present at the moment, six are hung with black square flags, and the remaining one is hung with the family crest of the Connelly family.

  "Six mercenary regiments and a private army?" Thain whispered, "As expected of William, who does everything without leaking. The preparations are really proper, and there is no gap left."

   "My lord, what are you talking about?" Hearing Thain's murmur, because some of them couldn't hear clearly, Yard leaned forward and asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing." Thain shook his head, "These people don't listen to me, so you take them to camp first.... Remember, don't have any conflicts with the people here, I will go into the city to report now. , There will soon be a logistics staff to take charge, you guys take a break first. Then I will go to Xiao En to report the situation and figure out a way to trick him out."

   "Yes, my lord." Yard nodded with excitement.

   Then Thain didn't say anything, but left soon.

  Looking at Thain's departure, the smile on Yard's face gradually disappeared.

  As a noble from the Nugus family, Yard has a sense of superiority like everyone else, so from the bottom of his heart, he is naturally very repulsive or even despise of Thain. But since he is a noble from a large family, Yad is naturally very good at forbearance, not to mention that his noble communicative studies graduated with full marks at the beginning, so this kind of pretending to be grandson in front of others is his specialty.

  The reason why he was so courteous and respectful to Thain before was purely because of the orders of the Nugus family and the future of Thain. But when he discovered that the Fourth Legion of Darbion did not pay much attention to the orders of the new star of Darbion Kingdom, Yad’s mind immediately became active: if he could kill Sean successfully this time, only If he can return to Dabian alive alone, then he will undoubtedly become the biggest contributor to this incident.

   But how to go back alive, this is a difficult problem.

After thinking about it, Yad finally only figured out a way to push Thain out as a substitute for the dead. After all, Sean was assassinated by the rebel army when he came to review the army. Someone must be responsible for it. And Sean Hastings is undoubtedly the best candidate. After all, people from Sean and Darbion Kingdom know that the hatred between Sean and Hastings family is inevitable. thing.

  And after everything was considered, Yard has not been idle for more than half a month.

  Using the identity of the Nugus family, he easily gained the trust of the commanders of the Fourth Army of Darbion. Thus, although Thain was nominally the commander of this army, in fact he was completely emptied by Yad and became a polished commander.

  At this time, when Thain left, Yad had already turned with a calm face and turned to several middle-level officers of the Dabian Fourth Army, who is now promoted to his confidant, and gave orders to prepare them to fight at any time.

  On the other side, Thain also quickly came to the Lord’s Mansion.

  The people in the lord’s mansion are no strangers to this powerful general with extremely high speed. Of course, he is also no stranger to his superior methods. So Thain did not wait long before he was received by Sean, and the people present also included William, Anno, and a person whom Thain had never met before-Bannock. As for Rena, she was not seen. .

   "Ready?" William said.

"Yes." Thain nodded. "The fifteen thousand people secretly transported from Dabion, although I am the commander in name, the army is not under the command and control, but by A person named Yad Nugus is in charge of the command.... His other identity is responsible for monitoring me, but he is currently very busy at work, so there is no time to enter the city with me."

   "The Nugus family can't hold back their anger, even the people in their own family are sent out." Sean snorted coldly.

   "I think that should be the meaning of the Nugus family to show respect to Thain." William frowned, "It can be seen that the other party is really wooing you."

   "My lord is joking." Thain bowed slightly, "I only have one person who is loyal now, and that is Lord Sean."

Shaun looked back at Thain. Whether it was his expression, gestures or tone of voice, Thain was impeccable. He was like a true loyal minister. There was a fearless jing of sacrificing his life for Shaun. God. It's just that in the sight of Sean's True Eyes, the scarlet se brilliance exuding from Thain's body is even more intense than those seen by the previous Rizi, which is obviously an increase in hatred for him.

   "It's hard for you." Shaun's words were obviously a pun.

   "It's an honor to serve adults." Thain's head lowered lower.

   "With our troops deployed in the suburbs, enough to deal with those people?" Sean turned his head and looked at William.

"More than enough." William said with a calm face. "There are only two places in the neighborhood that are suitable for camping, and I have cut them very cleverly. Just picking one place will definitely not be able to accommodate 15,000 people. Therefore, if there is no conflict, the other party can only be divided into two camps. Of course, if the other party is in conflict with other people, then we have more reasons to take action.... And with 40,000 troops to deal with 15,000. People, as long as those in the mercenary regiment don’t be stupid, there will be no problem."

"Swallowing these 5,000 people, plus Fred's victory at Suoan, only about 220,000 troops remain on the southern noble faction of Darbion." Sean said in a deep voice. "However, the current situation is indeed very critical. The Boulder family has joined the war and is now in a confrontation situation with Asuna on the Mordgarn side, and I heard that there is an army of about 100,000. Reinforcements are being made to the Mordge leader, so no matter what, we must weaken the forces of the Nugus family as much as possible, otherwise we really have no retreat."

"As long as the second phase of the plan is successful, we will proceed to the third phase of tactics." William said in a deep voice. , We can not only regain the Chiraff collar, but even the Berbis collar can be swallowed in one go."

   "Then, please prepare for battle. We will start the battle early tonight."

   "Master Shaun, I have one more thing to report." Just as Shaun was about to issue a combat order, Thain suddenly spoke.

   "What's the matter?" Sean asked.

  "This time it was not ordinary soldiers who came with me, but soldiers of the Fourth Legion of Darbion!"

  When he heard Thain's words, Sean's brows suddenly raised.

  William’s reaction was much more straightforward than Shaun’s: "A soldier of the Fourth Legion of Darbion!? Why did you wait until now for such an important thing!" (To be continued.)
