Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 218 216. Tactical Meeting
All night when they knew magic, they were making magic scrolls, and Rand and Dugan were discussing tactics against the map.

"I recently met White Owl Robenchi White Owl, a high-ranking knight, the deputy head of the White Owl Knights. His father is the ruler of the northern counties, that is, the eldest son of His Majesty King Dusen. His Majesty has many wives, and he The age gap between the two children is not small. For example, Luo Benqi is about the same age as Li Qi, and the two grew up together since they were young, so there is no gap in generation.

Luo Benqi, the deputy leader, is not comparable to that boy from your maned wolf family. There are at least 3 intermediate knights and 20 junior knights in his knight regiment."

Dugan's meaning is obvious. In terms of pure combat effectiveness, the Knights of the Elder White Owl are comparable to the Knights of Rand's Galloping Horse. The combat effectiveness of the knights above the elementary level is only two more than that of the White Owl. .

"He also went to school at the Blue Dragon School. He is a well-known swordsman in the school. He even learned a little magic from the magician of the family. It stands to reason that he shouldn't be trapped by the other party."

"Will his knights be equipped with magicians?"

"No, generally speaking, unless you are a magician above the intermediate level, you will not go to the battlefield, but the cost of a magician above the intermediate level is very high." Dugan explained, "Unless it is the Knights of Longtai Mountain, otherwise small There will be no mages or priests in the knight order."

"Then there is a problem. Their knights have no less than 60 people in total, and their opponents only have 70 demon possessors. If they don't fight, they will withdraw. How can they be surrounded by people?" Lante was a little puzzled.

"My lord, you are not familiar with forest warfare. It is difficult to deploy cavalry in the woods, and they are easily divided into several small pieces. Although the herbivore half-orcs are not strong in combat, it is difficult to catch up with them on horseback in the woods." Dugan analyzed while pointing at the map, "Although the two teams have a large number of people, they followed the plan made by the opponent with only 30 people. It is normal to divide the troops and pursue them. Once the troops are divided, they will be counted by the orcs."

"Haven't they experienced the battle of life and death?"

"That's how it compares. Compared with last year when you put the head of the enemy chief on the flagpole, you can't fight a few life-and-death battles a year." Dugan smiled and covered his mouth.

"Don't mention that part." It was only when Lante was about to leave the Blue Dragon School that he realized that his previous 'feat' had spread throughout the capital, and he was identified as the most brutal barbarian in the past 10 years by the Chronicle of the Dragon Kingdom. "They themselves are afraid of death and don't say anything, and they still think I'm cruel. If I don't kill a goose, can other barbarians be so obedient?"

Dugan also held back for a long time before he took the phrase "evil god priest" into his stomach, "But you are right, Mr. Bai Xiao is a person who cannot accept failure. In the written test of swordsmanship in school before, if he I'm not sure I can beat my opponent, and I won't fight easily."

From what you said to me, Rand probably knew where the problems of the white owl and the maned wolf were: underestimating the enemy, advancing aggressively, being divided by the opponent, and the terrain was unfavorable, and he did not have enough will to fight.Perhaps for the two sons, they originally thought it was just an armed parade to build their reputation.

"Before they fought, they didn't think about what would happen if the opponent was too strong? What would they do if they lost contact with their own team?" Lante was confused by the tactical literacy of the two future earls.

"The Frostwolf Forest is different from the Galloping Horse Plain. When people mention the Galloping Horse Plain, they always think that the barbarians here are fierce, but when it comes to the Frostwolf Forest, they think that the half-orcs there are vulnerable." Dugan shook his head. , "I got the news in the royal capital, not only our count, but Kirislav's side, the battle situation was even worse, at least 5 knights were killed in battle. It was notified by the imperial capital based on the death lawsuit."

"When the time comes, lead the barbarian cavalry and cruise here, and don't enter the forest easily." Now that he has a new understanding of the battle situation and the battlefield, Rand probably has figured out the corresponding tactics. He pointed to the place near the two besieged, "I'll break in with Tania from here"

"Is this okay?" Dugan was a little surprised, "We don't have many people, let alone divide our troops."

. . .

In the early morning of April 4th, Rand's nine troop carriers finally arrived outside the city of Maned Wolf. The barbarians were very unaccustomed to taking a boat. The boat lit a fire to cook.

The earl fulfilled his promise and asked the steward to bring food and monster meat to the river bank to work as soldiers, but he did not expect that the army of 150 knights and cavalry that Rand said did not include 10 demon possessors and 40 non-monsters Or the number of logistics personnel, so the food is still a lot short.

When it was almost noon, the 10 boats provided by the earl's family also arrived, and the cavalry boarded the boat again and set off eastward.

In order to allow the reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible, the Earl spent enough money to send out another wind-type goblin, and the fleet moved forward, with the water-type goblin at the head and the wind-type goblin at the back. More than one kilometer of waterway arrived in one afternoon.

The Frostwolf Forest belongs to the coniferous forest, but the weeds are abundant on the ground. From outside the forest, it is difficult to spy on the situation inside the forest.To prevent accidents, Rand ordered to disembark when he was 3 kilometers from the edge of the forest.

After several months of training, the Galloping Horse Knights are most familiar with setting up camp and pulling out camp, and now with Tania it is even easier.

The whole camp is like a square city, with a 6-meter-high and 2-meter-high earthen wall, and a large number of ground thorns in the 5-meter-wide and 2-meter-deep moat outside the wall. There are twelve 12-meter-high watchtowers around the earthen wall. , if it wasn't for Lant to stop, Tania would almost habitually build a castle and a dock.To build such a luxurious camp in such a short period of time, Dugan and the representatives of the maned wolf family were stunned.

"My lord, if Teacher Tanya has this ability, why do we still need to bring tents? Why don't we just build a castle?" Seeing the earth elemental storm around Tanya continue to form a wall, Dugan quietly asked Lan special.

"The castles in your fiefs are all built in this way. In fact, you can also build castles directly, but I just don't want to make it cheaper, Earl." Rand waved his hand.

"You mean, there are all ready-made castles in our fief?" Dugan was delighted when he heard that.

"I can't give you a piece of white land, can I? The castle is ready-made, and the leaders can find it by themselves." What Lante didn't know was that when his ancestors arrived in the Barony of Rot and Galloping Horse, they built it on a piece of white land by themselves. .

"Don't worry, my family is thriving, and it's not a problem to gather 100 of them." Dugan Lanlong happily went to arrange the sentry post.

It was also the first time for Dugan to fight with Rand's Knights. He found that no matter whether it was the cavalry or the knights, they ate almost the same food, including mutton soup, sausage and baked naan. You can't taste it anywhere.

"Knight Dugan, have you seen the Viscount and Tanya Mentor?" A knight came over to ask, and his question alarmed Pete Maned Wolf who was also in the camp.

"What? My lord is missing?"
