The Origin of Arcane

While talking, the general's camp arrived.

Concentrate your mind and walk in. The matter they just discussed will not be put on the agenda until the war is over at the earliest.

Looking around, they came late, and the other nobles and lords basically came together.

This made the young baron even more dissatisfied. Obviously, he was the last to receive the notice. This was simply when he, the supreme commander, was transparent, and sat in his seat angrily, without saying a word.

You are called here because a very unusual piece of news came from the frontmost sentry.

The one who spoke was General Christopher, who made Patram full of opinions. This civilian general from a peasant family, his appearance can only be described as ordinary.

There is nothing outstanding about his appearance, his complexion is dark, he is neither tall nor short, and even his muscles are not obvious. Many irregular knights are more developed than him. People who don't know his identity think he is a ground planer. No one would associate him with the champion knight known as a humanoid monster.

What unusual news? Could it be that the other party has left the city and is going to fight us head-on?

On the contrary, all the opponent's outposts have been withdrawn, and there is not one left. Our outposts have already touched the Bastille.

It's normal. Our army is pressing up. What's the use of their hundreds of outposts? It's not enough for us to charge, so naturally we have to retreat.

If that's all it is, I won't bother you all to make a trip. Just now, another sentry reported that Bastille is now an empty city.

What?

Empty city?

Could it be a mistake?

There's no mistake, several sentries have already returned, and they all brought back the same information. Now we are preparing manpower, go in and investigate!

The other party abandoned the city and fled?

Cowards! Shameless cowards! How can they abandon the city and escape? What about our military achievements?

Chase, you must chase, even if you chase into the mountains, you must find out these cowards, kill all the men, and turn all women, children and children into slaves.

Idiot, aren't you afraid that this is a trap set by others, just waiting for you to bump into it?

Trap? Are you kidding? How big is the trap that can hold so many of us? Even if there is a trap, they will crush it.

All of a sudden, the entire general's camp became a mess. Obviously, the other party's reaction was completely beyond their expectations. According to their inertial logic, after those mountain people occupy the Bastille, they should hold on to the city. In this way The odds of winning are the best.

Fortunately, their army has assembled, and they are about to arrive, but they find that their enemies are gone. This feeling is like swinging a heavy punch, but it hit a ball of cotton, which makes people vomit blood uncomfortably.

Although such a situation is unexpected, it is also reasonable. The opponent is a mess after all. Seeing that our army is about to arrive, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold it, so of course I will flee. Patlem sneered.

That's good, it saves us trouble. As long as we occupy Bastille, our mission is half done. Do those idiots think that if we give up Bastille, we will let him go? Can they leave Bastille? Run, it’s impossible to lose Mount Andis, right?”

Everyone who wants military exploits and trophies, just go directly to the opponent's lair to grab it. What Bolton led a group of greedy people could accomplish. Could it be that we have so many lords and nobles who can't do it? When the time comes, let's do it. Big ones, turn the entire Andes Mountains upside down, drive out all the mountain people, and turn them into our slaves.

That's right, even if they can run, they won't be able to run out of the Andes Mountains. We can just spend more time and walk more mountain roads.

What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get on the road, try to spend the night in the Bastille tonight, save the other party from repenting, and then run back, do you really want to fight a tough battle? You are all veterans, don't you know how to attack? In the city battle, how high is the death rate of the attacking side? They are all the soldiers brought out by myself, and if there is one less loss, the less one will be lost.

My lord, what are you waiting for? Give the order!

Christopher has been frowning since he finished introducing the situation, watching the quarrels of the crowd, and originally wanted to find something useful from their quarrels, but the final conclusion is that they are all a group of vulgar and incompetent people, including the second son of the Faerun family. The heir, Patlem.

The first thing they thought of was their own interests. None of them stood at the other side's point of view and analyzed the other side's intentions with tactical eyes. Is there any deep meaning in doing so? Could it be that the other side really thinks that the Andis mountain people are a group of incompetent pigs? , waiting for them to slaughter?

They all forgot that the Andes mountain people were the most orthodox branch of the Andes Empire back then, and the most indispensable thing among them was all kinds of geniuses, no matter normal or crazy.

Even under their continuous suppression for hundreds of years, they still stand in the Andes Mountains. On the contrary, they are more and more common in the Byron League.

Your Excellency, I think we should treat it with caution. A relatively unfamiliar voice interrupted Christopher's thoughts.

Who are you? This is the highest military meeting, who gave you the qualifications to speak?

How did an unsealed knight get in here? Where's the guard? Have the guard's eyes been pecked by eagles?

It was Conrad who was dressed as a guard next to Patraim who spoke. It didn't matter if he spoke, he caused trouble for himself first.

In this hierarchical world, his lack of background is his Achilles' heel. Although he has been by Patlem's side for a while, this young baron who is extremely possessive is afraid that he will leave him after he becomes famous. Just let him act as a bodyguard and advisor by his side, not even giving him a knight title.

Usually, as long as you stand by Patram's side, others will give you three points, but in this kind of formal occasion, it is normal for some people to take the opportunity to attack, because there are many staunch supporters of Philip here.

However, when Conrad spoke, he obviously had his own calculations. He didn't care about other people's reactions at all, as long as he aroused one person's interest.

As long as it can arouse his interest, this kind of crime is nothing at all. Of course, this person is the most important person in this camp-General Christopher.

Oh? General Christopher looked at Conrad with great interest and said, Tell me, do you have any different opinions? If it satisfies me, I will not pursue it. If it is the same useless words, it will disturb the highest What do you guys think about military meetings and camp break-ins, both of which should be punished together?

It's up to the general to make the decision.

My lord general is wise, it is very appropriate to deal with it like this.

Let us see what is so special about the newly promoted staff officer next to the baron.

Even if he was prepared, Conrad's forehead was slightly sweating at the moment. The champion knight is worthy of being a champion knight. One look can bring so much pressure to people. The opponent's eyes seem to have the magical ability to penetrate people's hearts. The opponent saw through and had nothing to hide.

This person is really the same person as the dirty man in his information, at this moment, Conrad's heart began to beat.

But the arrow is on the string, and he has no choice but to shoot. He seems to be able to sense the dissatisfied gaze of Patraim next to him, and he calms down.

Everyone is not ignorant of Lord Bolton's strength. Even if he suffers from being careless and underestimated the enemy, it is not so simple to take down a castle with thousands of troops. The location of the Andes mountain people, how many troops are given to you, can you take down the Bastille?

How can we make such an analogy? The two are completely incomparable. We are not those savage and lowly mountain people...

Fork him out. General Christopher waved his hand, and two tall and burly guards rushed up like wolves and tigers, and pushed out the little nobleman who was blushing and screaming because of anger.

You can't do this. I am a hereditary baron conferred by the Duke himself, and I am eligible to participate in all military meetings of the military leader. It is my right to speak freely, which is bestowed on me by the Duke and protected by the alliance law. It is sacred. Infringement of power, you are abusing your private power, abusing your private power, I want to impeach you in front of the Duke.

In the process of going out, the little nobleman kept clamoring, but no one paid attention to it. Offending a hereditary earl who holds a lot of power for a hereditary baron is something a fool would do.

It's okay to have different political opinions, but don't mess around, otherwise, don't blame me for not saving him face.

Christopher looked around with a fierce look in his eyes, Especially political attacks are not allowed. Well, you can continue.

Judging from the opponent's well-trained sentries, the opponent is definitely not a group of unorganized and undisciplined loitering soldiers. The opponent's abandonment of the Bastille may be out of fear of our military might, or it may be out of tactical considerations. If it is the latter , we have to guard against it, and if we go further, we will enter the mountainous area with large terrain fluctuations, and the other party may want to attack us in an ambush. ​​Conrad analyzed layer by layer.

I wonder why there are so many great insights! I turned around and didn't say anything substantial.

The way Conrad played was too high-profile, and the things he threw out obviously did not match this high-profile, which naturally aroused dissatisfaction. It was just a lesson from the past, and this verbal attack was not considered intense.

Even if the witches who are proficient in divination and astrology from the witches' conclave were present in person, they would not dare to say that the enemy was ahead of their time. This is just a flattering word in novels and classics. Conrad plausibly said.

If you sum up the life of those generals who are always victorious, caution will be the word throughout their life, and those generals who like to play tricks and take risks are easy to win brilliant victories according to ancient and modern times, but most of them don't live long, and the final record is in themselves. When it comes to taking risks and playing tricks, it’s always good to be careful.”

Be careful, there is no big mistake, just with this sentence, I will exonerate you from guilt today! Christopher's eyes flashed with some deep meaning, No matter what you do, I hope you will appear on this kind of occasion again next time. At the time, I already had a matching identity, otherwise, I wouldn't be as easy to talk as this time.

Thank you General for your kindness, the God of Original Truth bless you. Conrad bowed to thank you.
