No wonder the Marquis de Mammen was so angry. There would be no harm if there is no comparison. The Eagle Legion used to have only two infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment, with a total of 15,000 people, all of the elite elite, but this is a time of peace. As one of the defenders of the Kingdom of Faustan, the knitting with 15,000 people was more than enough. However, during the war, 15,000 people seemed too thin, not to mention the reduction in personnel, so the Marquis de Mammen had to Heed the orders of His Majesty the King to allow the noble private army, mercenaries and adventurers to be filled in the legion.
After four years of warfare, the Eagle Legion has broken up and reorganized its organization, and after the reorganization, it has been broken up, and it has fought back and forth countless times. Today, the purest army is only the First Corps and the Fourth Corps. , And part of the Second Corps. And the trump card, only the first corps. The Fourth Corps is mostly composed of recruits. Its combat power is slightly lower than that of the Second Corps, which is composed of large nobles, mercenaries, and remnants of the First Corps, but compared to the third composed entirely of adventurers and private armies of small and medium nobles. Corps, I don't know how strong it is.
At this time, the Marquis of Mammon was angry for the Third Corps. This bloated Third Corps, holding nearly one-third of the Eagle Corps' supplies and military expenses, and less than half of the First Corps, was like a vicious The tumor grows under the armpits of the eagles, which should have spread their wings. But several requests were rejected by His Majesty the King. The marquis who had been in officialdom all year long saw that those small and medium nobles were tentacles attached to the big nobles. If you want to move them, unless you shake the foundation of the kingdom, you don’t want to go completely. clean.
It was less than five days before the agreed meeting time. In this case, the Fourth Corps had only a few teams to arrive. This is not a matter of military order. It seems that he has to tidy up these guys again. . The marquis, in anger, didn't realize that he had scolded himself in, he was also a nobleman.
Of course, in the eyes of the veteran marquis family, those small and medium aristocrats are not nobles, but just a group of upstarts who rely on the efforts of their ancestors, but for three generations, these nobles will fall, while others are emerging. The nobles will grow up again to eliminate them and replace them. Only big families like them, above the earls, are the real nobles.
Compared with the wine bag and rice bag of the 3rd Corps, the 2nd Corps is more pleasing to the Marquis of Mammon. For example, the 1st Corps is a direct line, which can be said to be the eldest son of the Marquis of Mammon, and is the hope for the future. , Is also his greatest capital and pride. The Fourth Corps is the youngest son. He is still young, but he is obedient. It needs the Marquis’s care and training. It has great potential. The Second Corps is a stepson, and the closeness is not as close as the first two Corps. Dear, but still need to take care of some, and the Third Corps, in the eyes of the Marquis, is a bunch of rubbish, it is best to not see. The straighter-tempered Marquis of Mammon defined his four infantry regiments in his heart. As for the cavalry regiment? Well, this corps is the heart of the Marquis, although this heart is currently controlled by his old partner and opponent, the Marquis of Sandro.
The messenger was sent away, and the Marquis of Mammon twisted his eyebrows with his thumb. The battle was getting better and better, but the Marquis felt that he was more tired. The various forces in the aristocratic circle wrangled for the benefit of the several large corps. All of the small things and chores of Mammen need to be dealt with one by one by the Marquis. In addition, the third corps which the Marquis disliked the most, after the marquis was idle during the war, he couldn't help thinking whether he should rest after the war.
"One more year!" The Marquis murmured, and another year of war must end. This is the consensus reached by Faustin’s high-level leaders in recent months. If the war with Charlot cannot be ended, Faustin will Special envoys will be sent to the overlord Omor Empire to request the Omor Empire to participate in mediation. Faustin is just a small kingdom with a population of two million. After four years of war, through the joint calculation of the Royal War Room and the Chancellor of Finance, Faustin lost more than 100,000 people, most of which were young adults. If it continues, the foundation of national power will be shaken.
Of course, Charlo’s loss was even greater. After all, it was fighting in the homeland of Charlo. Marquis de Mammen dare to assert that Charlo’s loss was at least half that of Faustin, not to mention the total population of Charlo. , The overall strength is still slightly inferior to Faustin, this time it is to see who can't stand it first. The Marquis de Mammen believed that Faustin was definitely not the first country to fail.
"It's up to the cavalry to wait until the city of Bimore is captured..." The marquis had a deep gaze, thinking further, and in the eyes of the marquis of Bimore, he seemed to have been captured.
"What? Let me send a cavalry regiment to the hinterland of the Bering Mountains! Soldier, are you kidding me!" In the camp, a tall middle-aged man asked half of the soldiers dressed as messengers kneeling on the ground. "How can the cavalry enter the Bering Mountains? Besides, they still need to enter the dense forest! Did I hear it wrong?" The middle-aged man said harshly.
The messenger did not show timidity because of the stern voice of the middle-aged man, but said neither humble nor humble, "This is the prince's order."
The middle-aged man spoke in a dumb manner. Of course he recognized it. This messenger has the gray-white medal of the Lion Legion on his chest. This cannot be faked, and if you look carefully, it is different from the ordinary Lion Medal, the messenger's There is a beautiful pattern around the medal, and only the guards of Prince Kensell can have this.
The middle-aged man groaned and finally said, "But the city of Bemore is about to be broken. The day the city is broken is when the major cavalry regiments are encircled by the military department. At this time, I can't move the cavalry regiment away. "The middle-aged man said firmly.
"I'm just conveying the prince's order. If you do, the prince will deal with it afterwards," the messenger said.
The middle-aged man is also very embarrassed at this time. The order conflicts with the order. Of course he knows which one is more important. If it weren’t for the messenger wearing the prince’s personal guard medal, he would have chased the soldier who gave orders indiscriminately. out.
"I need to discuss with the Marquis of Mammon, you come with me." The middle-aged man thought for a long time and finally said.
This middle-aged man is the Marquis of Sandro, who has mastered the most elite cavalry unit of the Eagle Legion, and is also the father-in-law of Baron Kedozi. Unlike the little old man of the Marquis de Mammon, although the Marquis de Sandro is not much different from the Marquis de Mammon, his stronger strength allows his appearance to stay a little longer. This is the most visible in the Eagle Legion. A powerful man, a peak-level knight attendant.
Not long afterwards, the Marquis of Sandro rushed to the camp of the Marquis of Mammon. After a brief description, the Marquis of Mammon was also silent. "Why?" asked the Marquis of Mammon. Although the soldier's mission is to obey orders, the Marquis of Mammon who is about to enjoy the fruits of victory still can't figure it out. He doesn't know how the wise and decisive Prince Kensell would give such stupid orders. , And the order was only for the cavalry regiment to go to the Bering Mountains, and no specific tasks were assigned.
"This is confidential, and you only need to execute the order, Marquis..." the herald said.
"Shut up! Tell me, why?" The Marquis de Mammen rose in anger, shouting at the little messenger who could be his grandson this year.
"Come on, what's the reason? I believe Kensell will not give this order. There must be a reason." The Marquis of Sandro also helped. Although he and Marquis are old partners, they are also old Yes, but at this point, the Marquis of Sandro and Marmen of Mammon agree.
The messenger saw that the two adults were refusing to order, and thought of the prince's request before leaving, that the legions must send troops to rescue Princess Angelina. The messenger finally told the reason "because Princess Angelina." ..."
After listening to the messenger’s narration, the two marquis wanted to understand the end of the matter in an instant, "This Princess of Kent is really getting too much!" The more anxious Marquis of Mamen directly named the surname. Scolded. Fortunately, there are only two marquis and three messengers in this tent at this time. Otherwise, if this word spreads, I don't know how much waves will be caused.
"The question now is how many troops should be sent to respond, and how many infantry should be sent besides the cavalry. It is impossible to search the long border by cavalry alone. Moreover, the Bering Mountains are the subsidiary mountains of the Morphy Forest. It's not a safe place either." The Marquis of Sandro did not complain as the Marquis of Mammon, but calmly put forward his own opinions.
The Marquis of Mammon also reduced his complaints and began to think seriously. Angelina grew up when he watched. It can be said that among the many marquis in the capital, Princess Angelina could only be in his arms when she was a child. To sleep peacefully, he had long considered Princess Angelina as his own granddaughter. To say that the most anxious person after receiving the news that the princess may be in distress, except for the king and Prince Kensell, is him. Of course, the Marquis of Mammon will not show it, he will use actual actions to prove himself.
"The Cavalry Regiment will send three brigade, and the infantry will let the Fourth Regiment go, just as a training troop." Marquis Mammon waved his hand and made the following decision.
Listening to the words of the Marquis de Mammen, the Marquis of Sandro resisted his urge to slap the table and said word by word, "Impossible! I can send one cavalry unit at most, and the fourth infantry regiment I do not agree to move. This time, the Fourth Corps was the main force in the siege of Bemore City. Which Corps do you plan to send him out to attack the city? First Corps? After the Battle of Fairmer Canyon, the First Corps hasn’t slowed down. I don't agree to mobilize the First Corps!" The Marquis of Sandro finished in a huff.
"Didn't there be the Second Corps." Marquis de Mammen said weakly. He and the Marquis of Sandro are like the two extremes of a magnet. If you are weak, he will be strong, and if you are strong, he will be weak. Don’t look at the fiery temper of the Marquis de Mammon, and the Marquis of Sandro is the image of a good old man. At that time, the Marquis de Mammen was consciously wrong, but for the sake of his dear Angelina, he could only pretend to be counseled, hoping that his old partner could agree with him.
"The Second Corps, you also know how much involved, what happened, who bears this responsibility." The Marquis of Sandro still disagrees, and the two are still arguing.
And our messenger, at this time has already been frightened by the big tone of the Marquis de Mammon, most of the cavalry regiment? An entire infantry regiment? Your lord Marquis, your tone is so loud!
