Chapter 665 Major General Judah
Saint Bikoya’s army retreated very quickly, and in a moment they were out of the protective range of White Rock City. The Demon Moon Army also pursued them for a symbolic distance, But I didn't dare to chase too far. This brief confrontation lasted less than twenty minutes, and more than two hundred corpses were left on the hillside outside the city. The injured soldiers were treated by field doctors under the care of field doctors, and those in serious condition were sent to the hospital. .
"General Langdon." Seeing General Langdon arriving, the person in charge of commanding the operation stepped forward and said: "The purpose of the enemy's attack this time is very clear. In addition to continuing to harass us, it is to destroy our only The two remaining Tianlei Towers ”
Another person said: "I think the fatigue tactic is still their main purpose. Destroying our Sky Thunder Tower is a tactical goal they accomplished by the way."
Langdon waved his hand and asked: "Let's not talk about this now. , what are the casualties? ”
"Each team is already summarizing the casualties and will report them soon."
Langdon said: "The supply team has just arrived, with a new group of doctors and medical supplies, and let them deal with the wounded immediately. Furthermore, let the architects and engineering teams that came here immediately work to repair our damaged fortifications. When we go out to repair the city, we must send people to protect us to prevent people from San Vicoia from causing trouble.”
< br>"Great, the supplies I have been waiting for for so long have finally arrived. Just now I was worried about the destruction of the Tianlei Tower, but now it's fine. The people opposite St. Picea are busy in vain, haha."
At this time, an officer hurriedly ran over and reported: "Report to the general, our cavalry reinforcements have arrived, with 2,000 people."
Everyone frowned, feeling unhappy.
"Damn, these damn Saint Piccolo runners, they calculated so well." A colonel cursed: "They calculated the time when reinforcements would arrive between our two cities, and deliberately acted like a large-scale attack. Let them run exhausted on the way to the two places."
Langdon said gloomily. Face, after a while he said: "After you have finished handling these matters, notify all available brigadiers and colonels to come to the meeting for a meeting."
"Yes."
On the other side, Vol On the mountain roads in the Kan Mountains, an army of more than 12,000 people marched mightily. These armies were neat and orderly. Whether they were the black-striped war horses walking in front or the thousands of griffins flying in the air, they all maintained a good formation and moved forward.
In the middle of the team, a dozen officers riding special monsters walked together, chatting without a word. Among them, an officer wearing blue-gray armor, orange shoulder pads, an orange eagle-headed helmet, and an orange cape stood out particularly. Whether they were soldiers walking in front or following behind, they would turn to look at him from time to time. This was not only due to the bright colors of his armor, but also because his military rank was the highest in the team - major general.
Major General Al Juda is indeed able to attract the attention of soldiers in the army, especially the female officers. In addition to respect, there is also appreciation in their eyes. In the Demon Moon Empire, there are only a handful of people who can be promoted to Major General in their early thirties. Although his promotion caused a lot of criticism among the veteran officers, in the Demon Moon Empire, military ranks are different from titles and do not necessarily come from a prominent family background. Serve as a senior military officer.
However, although these people kept looking sideways at Judah, they refused to get close to him. Their eyes would stay more on the sword on his waist. Even if it was hidden in the sheath, Mars' sword still danced outside the sheath.
The Dragon Flame Sword is a good sword and a famous sword. It is made of the best hell flame iron. The sword is 241 centimeters long and weighs about 16.37 kilograms. In addition to the craftsmanship of thousands of times, it is forged , and the fire used for forging - the dragon flame of the fire-attribute dragon.
You can feel the temperature on the sword even without pulling out the scabbard. These soldiers are all curious about what this sword looks like and what kind of famous sword can make a thirty-something year old The army is highly regarded by the generals, and even Celt is no exception. People are always like this. When they see others succeed, they tend to focus on where others shine most, but ignore the efforts these people have made to succeed.
Compared with the sideways glances of the officers and soldiers, Judah seemed very calm. He was riding on his mount as usual, and his thoughts were by no means vain fame and glory. Only truly pragmatic people can achieve greater success. Success, that's what he is.
Brigadier General Alan rushed over from the front of the team. He came to Juda: "General, the sun is going down. It's time to stop and have something to eat."
"Well, let the soldiers rest where they are and make a fire. Let’s eat.”
The team quickly stopped, and then gathered in groups of ten in an orderly manner to wait for the cooking soldiers to prepare food. Some soldiers also brought some biscuits with them before eating dinner. I will also eat some first.
The food was prepared quickly. It was difficult to pay attention to it during the march. Most of the food was ready-to-eat food, such as salted fish, marinated dried beef, and of course milk.
The officers eat better and eat the same food as the soldiers, which is rare in Moyue's army. Generals are entitled to live a better life than soldiers because they put in more effort. If you are not convinced, you can also become a general.
Juda ate the fruit and asked: "Can we reach White Rock City tomorrow?"
Brigadier General Alan said: "At the current speed, we can arrive around early morning tomorrow night. General..."
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
Alan said: "General, don't you Are you worried? When General Ruhr was appointed as the supreme commander of White Rock City, many senior officers were dissatisfied. Aren't you worried that the generals of White Rock City were also dissatisfied? They are all under famous generals, even Edward. The general has died in the battle, but because of this, they care more about the new one they have chosen most Who is the commander? To be honest, I am worried that if they know that a young major general like you is their commander, they will feel that the base camp does not pay enough attention to them and will become resentful. General Edward is a man with outstanding military exploits. Lieutenant General. And now the temporary commander of Baishi City. General Guan Langdon is also a major general. I'm afraid you won't be able to suppress them if you take command."
Jiu Da nodded: "You have considered it very carefully. This is indeed something worth worrying about before leaving. Former General Ruhr talked to me about it and he told me to pay more attention.”
"Then what are you going to do?"
Jiuda smiled calmly: "I don't know, let's talk about it when we get there."
Alan sighed: "Actually, those old officers don't understand You think you are not qualified enough. In fact, all of us, General Ruhr’s old subordinates, know that you are a Very capable people, they will be dissatisfied only because your reputation in the empire is not good enough.”
Jiuda said: “Not to mention this, the most important thing now is how to solve the current crisis in White Rock City. ”
The map and the small folding metal table were quickly brought. This is a regional map, and the range shown is only Idso, Vulcan and some of its surrounding areas.
Joda finished the last few bites of the fruit, threw away the core and looked at the map.
Alan said: "Opposite White Rock City is the main threat we face. The former Eighth Army of the Tenth Legion of Saint Bikoa, the commander is Gnis, with the rank of lieutenant general. Like you, he is also a fire type. The Sealed Knight, who used to be nicknamed the 'Burning Ghost', is currently known as one of the Three True Warriors of Saint Vicoia, and one of the main planners who participated in the ambush and killing of General Edward." He paused. He paused and said: "He is also a sealed knight of the fire system. Your reputation in the world is far worse than his. "Jiuda smiled: "Humph, I don't have any reputation in the world. I am just an unknown young general."
Alan said: "Yes, there are advantages to not having a reputation. At least it can make your enemies despise you more. There are many idiots with great reputations in the world."
"Gennis is not an idiot. Now we are our rivals.”
Alan pointed at the local group and said: "Their full strength of this army should be about 30,000 people. It is currently divided into two parts, dealing with our Baishi City and Shayan City to the west of Baishi City. Their camp is closest. Only 4 kilometers away from us. ”
“4 kilometers, 4 kilometers to do a lot of things every day”
White Rock City, conference room.
An officer held the report in his hand and said: "The casualty report is out. A total of 104 of our soldiers and officers were killed, and 39 were seriously injured. The soldiers cleaning the battlefield found 127 enemy corpses."
A colonel said: "How could this happen? Why are there so many casualties among our people? We are fighting to defend the city, and the number of casualties is actually close to that of the enemy."
The officer said: "I asked many officers, and they said that the soldiers were too tired and could not display their combat effectiveness. In addition, the city defense facilities were almost completely destroyed, and the defense was limited."
The colonel sighed.
Langdon waved his hand and asked the reporting officer to go down. He looked at everyone present and said, "Don't be too discouraged. I also have some good news to tell you. Our supplies have arrived. , the medical staff and city defenses will be restored soon, I think you all saw it when you came here."
Some soldiers nodded: "Defense. It would be great if the imperial fortifications can be restored. A lot of the western city wall was destroyed by the enemy's magic rock cannon and must be repaired quickly. However, our magic rock cannons are almost abandoned these days due to insufficient magic crystals and serious damage. "< br>
"What's the good news about the general? Have our troops been replenished?" These words lifted the spirits of all the officers, who looked at Langdon expectantly.
Langdon smiled and said: "That's right, the base camp has provided us with 12,000 additional troops. Although the number is a little smaller, the total number of our current troops is 16,700."
All the officers looked happy and said: "That's good. Anyway, I We are also a military unit here. It is too shabby for us generals to lead 5,000 people in battle. With 12,000 soldiers, can the defense line on the Sand Rock City be left to us? "
Langdon? He shook his head: "I don't know this. I didn’t say anything in person. But I have good news. The new commander of our Seventh Army will also come with these 12,000 troops.”
“Who is it? Is it Dragon Soul War General Mu Tuo? Or the Luminous Thief Charles?”
"It can't be Mu Tuo. Lieutenant General Mu Tuo has been leading the demi-human and orc armies. It should be Lieutenant General Charles. He is a famous light mage and has been serving as a deputy in the army for these years. This It’s his turn to take charge of the army.”
"Yes, I think it's him too. Four years ago, he became famous for his battle with the Holy Gripen Empire in the western border of the empire. He 'stole' two cities from the Holy Gripen Empire without a single soldier and recovered them. This is how the country became known as the Luminous Thief. Is that him?”
Langdon shook his head and said, “No, it’s General Al Juda.”
“Al Judah? "Officers, look at me, and I'll look at you: "I've never heard of him, who is he?"
Langdon pushed a letter onto the table and said, "This is from General Juda. You can pass the information around to each other."
The officers were passing it around, and suddenly someone shouted: "Thirty-one years old, Major General? Are you kidding me? Why would you send such a person here at the base camp?" br>
The bad-tempered officer said: "Why should he be our commander for a fucking brat who doesn't have enough military rank? Is General Ruhr thinking wrong?"
At this time Someone suddenly said: "I remember, I have seen this person. I remember that he is a direct subordinate of General Ruhr, has been following General Ruhr, and was promoted to major general by the empire before he was transferred here from the western border of the empire. ”
The bad-tempered officer slapped the table and cursed: "Grandma, isn't this self-serving for the public good, using his own power to appoint private individuals? A major general is not qualified to be the supreme commander of an army at all. General Ruhr, he He would do such a bastard thing. Does he want to turn our army into his own?"
"Hey, you said it too much." Someone pulled him aside. one time.
"Why are you pulling me?" The bad-tempered officer stood up and said, "I'm afraid of a bird. What can I say? We have never even heard of this guy named Judah. He has stood up. What military exploits, why should he be our commander? Who among us is not older than him, and his merits are not greater than his, if nothing else, if the major general is also. General Langdon can serve as the commander of the first army. Why let an outsider come here who doesn't understand our army? Maybe this guy got the rank of major general through his damn connections. Nepotism is the only bad thing. I won’t let such a person serve as my commander.”
Langdon scolded: "Sit down and stop talking nonsense. General Ruhr is a famous general in the empire and is deeply loved by the king. How could he do such a thing? Don't think nonsense. General Ruhr can send General Juda Coming to serve as our commander shows that General Juda is a very capable person."
"Huh." The bad-tempered officer sat down, but still looked unconvinced.
Langdon said: "The appointment has been made, let's obey the order and prepare to welcome him. Since he is our highest officer, we must listen to him."
