Extraordinary Profession: I Awakened Lord

Chapter 146 Damian’s Judgment
At this time, the night is vast and the stars are shining. Panku City, which has hundreds of years of history and culture, stands here quietly, as if nothing can destroy it in this time.

However, today's Panku City is no longer as peaceful as usual. Undercurrents are already surging in the city, and an irritable atmosphere has risen slightly.

Panku City was built 120 years ago, during the reign of Alexander I, the greatest monarch of the Frankish Kingdom.

At that time, the Frankish Kingdom was devastated by the orcs. If it were not for the support of other human forces, it can be said that the Frankish Kingdom at that time would not be able to sustain itself.

The hero ascended the throne at a young age, and his uncle, Prince Roy, became the regent and the actual master of the Frankish Kingdom because of his status.

As Alexander grew older, his desire to govern became more and more intense. At this time, Prince Roy definitely did not want to give up such great power. The wanton growth of desire led him to embark on a path of rebellion. .

At that time, it was precisely because the Augustus family seized this opportunity that they had such a huge foundation in the future.They assisted the great Alexander I in putting down the rebellion, and also helped him stabilize the court, and then put forward some political proposals based on the development of the Frankish Kingdom, which caused the Augustus family to expand rapidly under the rule of Alexander I.

At that time, the long-term war between the Frankish Kingdom and the Orcs had caused the domestic people's livelihood to decline, the economy to decline rapidly, and a large number of elite nobles to immigrate to other countries quickly.

It was in this extremely difficult predicament that King Alexander I, with the help of the Augustus family, sought support and help from other human kingdoms.

Then with the gold coins returned from the loan, elite mercenaries were hired and launched a war against the orcs at that time.

This was a battle related to the fate of the Frankish Kingdom. Under the wise leadership of the great Frankish King Alexander I, the Frankish Kingdom finally defeated the Orcs again and seized a large amount of territory.That is, parts of the central and western regions at this time.

Alexander I, who obtained a large amount of territory, used this land as collateral to lend large amounts of money to other human kingdoms again.

Then Alexander I supported the development of the economy and encouraged the large nobles to give birth to second sons to expand their territories. Then he also supported the development of small and medium-sized nobles and jointly formulated some laws and regulations with the large nobles.

Under the leadership of this heroic lord, the national power of the Frankish Kingdom has grown rapidly. The increase in national power has caused the Frankish Kingdom's status in the human alliance to rise rapidly. At the same time, this is also the case where the Frankish Kingdom has an advantage against the orcs. era.

Under the leadership of this great monarch, the Frankish Kingdom launched several wars, and these wars also brought extremely huge economic benefits and territory to the Frankish Kingdom.

It can be said that more than 90.00% of the territory of the Frankish Kingdom today was conquered by Alexander I at that time.

It can be said that Alexander I was not only one of the greatest monarchs in the Frankish Kingdom, but also the most admired object of several subsequent kings. And the most important thing is that he not only had a high reputation in the hearts of small and medium-sized nobles, but also those of great importance. The nobles also respected this hero and rarely criticized him.

Panku City was rebuilt under the rule of Alexander I. At that time, Panku City was just a small castle. Then Alexander I saw the key to the location of this castle. He centered on Panku City. A line of defense was established.

This line of defense is now the third line of defense in the Western Region, and it played an important role in the future confrontation between the Frankish Kingdom and the Orcs.

Therefore, Panku City is not only an ancient city with hundreds of years of historical memory, but also a war fortress that has suffered from the cruelty of war.

Because the location of Panku City is crucial, this magnificent city is under the direct control of the royal family, so its current leader, Earl Bruno, is also a member of the royal family. Although his ability is not high, he acts cautiously and attentively. , so the old King Philip II put this famous man in the kingdom on this important city.

At this time, Panku City was full of lights and the atmosphere was high, which was in sharp contrast to the darkness outside.

"Marshal Damian, why did you come with only [-] cavalry? What about the hundreds of thousands of infantry troops? Without them, how can you protect Panku City?"

"That's right! Marshal Damian, how can we defend Panku City with cavalry and those other troops? Why haven't you come yet? Is this how you perform military duties? Didn't His Majesty the King and a group of ministers strongly urge you to speed up your march? Speed? Why are only the cavalry here now?"

"Those soldiers won't be killed by the troops of the orcs, right?"

"Idiot, how could the orcs cross the defense line and come to the back to attack Marshal Damian's troops? Do they all have wings?"

Listening to the noisy quarrels in the lobby, the gray-haired Marshal Damian did not argue with them, but slowly sipped a glass of red wine, and even made a voice of praise from time to time, It seemed that there was no one else here at this time, only him.

As time passed, more and more nobles finally discovered the situation. Their emotions slowly calmed down and they stopped talking. They just looked at Marshal Damian silently.

After a while, the originally noisy lobby finally became quiet. Looking at the nobles who were no longer arguing, Marshal Damian put down his wine glass and said calmly:
"I thought you guys would still be arguing for a few hours? Still thinking about how to plan to collect your bodies? Don't you talk about getting married?"

Having said this, Marshal Damian calmly glanced at all the nobles present. His indifferent eyes made the nobles who had just spoken tremble in fear.

Because the only ones who were angry were the cavalry and anxious about what to do now, the nobles who had spoken more fiercely just now calmed down and asked for money. This calm-looking old man was the famous god of death in the Frankish Kingdom. Thinking about the previous They couldn't help but tremble in their legs.

"Since you don't want to speak anymore? Then let me speak!"

Looking at the silent nobles, Marshal Damian slowly sat upright. Although what he said was a question, his tone was decisive and unbelievable. Just like his behavior, as long as he made a decision, he would not Changing.

"First of all, why did I only bring [-] cavalry? Where are the remaining infantry units? Now I can answer you, those infantry units are still on the way. As for why I only brought [-] cavalry, this is not Do I need to ask you?"

Marshal Damian crossed his hands on the cold table. His eyes were extremely calm, but no one dared to look at him, because this old man's methods were very cruel. Dare to provoke him?Do you think you are His Majesty the King?

"Since you don't want to say anything? Then for me, why did I only bring [-] cavalry here instead of all the troops... I just want to ask? Isn't this what you asked for? Speed ​​up the march, speed up the march? Is it so easy to speed up the march? If you open your mouth, you want me to rush over to support you, don’t you think? But if I open your mouth, can’t those soldiers grow a few more legs? "

As soon as he said this, Marshal Damian was very depressed, because the marching speed could not be accelerated just because he wanted to, and he had to fully consider the strength of his own troops.Therefore, he has always scorned those lords who just thought that reinforcements would arrive the next day.

Looking at the silent nobles, Marshal Damian did not let them go, but continued to fire.

"Don't I want to speed up the march? I thought, so I brought [-] cavalry here. As for the other infantry units, I can only blame you for being too hasty and not giving them wings yet?"

This irony made the more than 20 nobles present blush immediately. In fact, they were a little aggrieved. Who would have thought that the colleagues in front were so stupid that they were defeated by an army of orcs in just a few days? In front of the third line of defense.

Fortunately, they received the news in advance, otherwise Panku City might have been captured by the orc army long ago. Alas... Now, all we can do is look at Marshal Damian.

At this time, Marshal Damian continued to argue. Don't blame him for being angry. According to the plan submitted by the staff, he would not arrive in Panku City for several days.

Because various reasons have to be taken into consideration, the battle plan, marching speed, food transportation, soldier rendezvous, etc. must be planned in advance and then submitted to the cabinet for review.

It's a pity, who could have known that the front line of the Frankish Kingdom would be so wet, like paper.It was a shame for the Frankish Kingdom to be broken through by the orcs in just a few days.

The consequence of the front-line rowing is that the pressure on the central defense line increases rapidly, because although they are alert in time, it takes time to mobilize soldiers and supplies.

As the main city in the third line of defense in the Western Territory, Panku City was undoubtedly under the greatest pressure, and its key geographical location made the Frankish Kingdom even more stupid to give up on it.

Therefore, the old King Philip II could only order Marshal Damian to speed up his march. Only when the reinforcements reached Panku City could the pressure on him be reduced.

However, the marching speed of the more than 20 troops is planned, and it cannot be accelerated if you want to speed up. Moreover, because the plan is made in advance, during the march, there will be a small number of troops one after another. Come back and meet up.

Therefore, Marshal Damian was very distressed. In the end, he could only bring [-] cavalry to Panku City first, and the rest of the troops, sorry, could only speed up their march and try their best to come here.

A large part of the reason for the current territory is that some nobles in the Western Region are too arrogant and have no vigilance at all. As a result, the orcs seized the opportunity and broke through two areas in just a few days. Line of defense.

Listening to Marshal Damian's complaints, the Western nobles present could only lower their heads with flushed faces. They were also aggrieved. They were only the third line of defense, not the front line.

Moreover, the orcs had seized the opportunity to fish in the water in front of them, but they did not take advantage of the situation. If they had not been alert in advance, Panku City might have been breached by the orcs long ago.

However, they had no choice but to accept Marshal Damian's complaints, because they were also Western nobles. During the war, even if some Western nobles made mistakes, only the entire Western noble class would be criticized.

This was also decided by Alexander I, which was conducive to strengthening the glory and teamwork ability of the nobles.

Secondly, and most importantly, because Marshal Damian is an old man, he is also the Marshal of the Frankish Kingdom, so if he spits people, you can only follow up, and you can’t spit on others, otherwise those officers will really fuck you.

Seeing the nobles of the West enduring silently, Marshal Damian, who had been sarcastic for a while, was finally satisfied. After all, if you guys hadn't lost so quickly, Damian would have been killed by the old King Philip II. Write a reminder letter?

After all, it's all the fault of you bastards.

However, I also scolded and criticized.State affairs were the most important thing, so Marshal Damian quickly calmed down his emotions and said calmly:
"20 other troops will arrive in two days. This is the latest available time. If the march speed is too fast, it will only take a day and a half. However, we are limited to two days. As long as we can survive two days, God, you could say we almost won."

Looking at the rosy-faced and surprised nobles of the West, Marshal Damian flashed a hint of ridicule in his eyes. Do these fools really not understand military affairs?Hearing such simple words of comfort is really a shame for their ancestors!

Because the Western Region is the front line facing the Orcs, martial arts are prevalent here, and there are many schools of military strategy. After Alexander I, most of the nobles in the Western Region served as marshals of the kingdom.

However, in recent years, as the relationship between the Orcs and the Frankish Kingdom has eased, the nobles in the Western Region have rapidly become corrupted, and the position of Marshal of the Kingdom has been filled by outstanding military nobles from other regions.

Therefore, Marshal Damian was very angry when he saw these stupid Western nobles, but at this time, he did not show it. After all, you can sneer at him with your eyes, but after all, it is you who are wrong.

"And the news that I came to Panku City must have been known to the orcs now, so what you can do now is to stabilize the order in the city and don't cause trouble to me. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will kill them without mercy." , remember whoever makes trouble at this critical time, I will find trouble! In the time of war, I will not listen to any explanation! Secondly, the supplies must be allocated to me, don’t let me use the knife! Also, summon the people in the city Minzhuang, hurry up and train, time is running out, there will definitely be a fierce battle in these two days, I am afraid that everyone will not have enough manpower by then..."

Before Marshal Damian finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Marshal Qi, the orcs have already attacked!"
