Chapter 409: Division of troops and the virtues of paladins

Shandy looked up and down Amber for half a minute, and let out a sneer. "Ha! Is this guy? A fifth-level fighter? A cold arrow on the battlefield may kill him."

"What an officer requires is tactical literacy and command ability. As for personal strength, it is second. Do you know that this time, the idea of ​​gathering scattered enemies together with rumors was proposed by Amber. Not to mention that he was only two this year. At the age of twelve, he has been a level five fighter in less than three years after joining the army. I believe that when I am my age, I will definitely cross the 15th level and become a martial arts master."

When Corey said these words, his face was full of pride, and he felt like introducing others to his outstanding son. It can be said that all the young officers in this army were pulled up by him with one hand. Although Faerun Continent did not have the idea of ​​being a teacher and a father for life, the relationship was still quite close.

"Whatever, I only care about whether the characters can be completed smoothly. As for the manpower allocation, you have the final say." After Shandy finished speaking, she turned and left. She totally disagrees with Corey's point of view. Although an officer does not need a high professional level, it cannot be too low. The fifth-level fighters are too fragile, they are very easy to be killed by sneak attacks, or controlled by spells.

Half an hour later, Corey commanded the main force of the army to march northeast along the main road. He has left enough soldiers and stage for the young adjutant. What kind of record he can achieve depends on his personal ability. You should know that for a young officer, it is one thing to follow a large army to make suggestions, and it is another thing to lead an army alone. If the army is not controlled well, it is normal for the whole army to be destroyed.

Watching the large troops slowly disappear into the night. Amber waved his fist fiercely. Excited. With a background of civilians, he knows how hard-won such an opportunity is. If it wasn't for the situation in the north to be a bit complicated, it would be impossible to lead the troops alone as a rookie.

Sun Tzu's art of war has a saying: You are very fast. It means that the use of soldiers is extremely fast, and they seize the opportunity to launch an offensive before the enemy reacts. Although people on the continent of Faerun have never heard this sentence, there are still similar sentences. As a place where wars continue, the military theory here has been quite mature.

Under the guidance of Corey, Amber had already mastered a lot of theoretical knowledge of marching warfare. He did not hesitate to order all the soldiers to board the ship, and was also ready to take advantage of the cover of night to sneak up against the current. This is the most important first step in the whole plan. If it goes well, Chong Sap River will be completely in the hands of the Principality. At that time, with the continuous supply of supplies from the rear, it will only be a matter of time before the entire North has fallen.

Two hundred elite soldiers, plus more than one hundred and sixty prisoners boarded a large river boat. Standing on the deck, Amber was a little emotional. These people are the capital for his achievements. Although there are only less than 400 people, most of them are veterans. Even the mercenaries who served on the Iron Throne before have basically killed people.

Before, there were no pre-war mobilizations or impassioned speeches, just a loud announcement: if the action goes well. And without letting go of an enemy, then he will take out one third of the spoils as a reward and give it to everyone. Regardless of the previous prisoners. Still a regular soldier.

Nothing can increase the combat effectiveness of the army more than naked interests. Just look at everyone’s excited eyes and hideous smiles. They know that their enthusiasm for war has been completely ignited. From now on, this is an elite force. Anyone who dares Anyone who stands in the way will be crushed.

Although doing so will cause some quite bad sequelae, for example, once the income is insufficient, soldiers are likely to be passively war-weary or even mutiny. But now I can’t take care of that much anymore. According to Amber’s estimation, there are at least 400 to 600 enemies scattered across the villages in the rear. Together with the defenders of Schenubel, there are almost 1,000. People are twice and a half of their own forces.

He must do everything possible to improve the fighting enthusiasm of the soldiers. If he does not get the gold coins after occupying the city, the young commander will not hesitate to order the looting of the wealthy businessman. At that time, as long as you clean it up enough and then push it on the head of the Iron Throne, no one will notice. After all, the reputation of this commercial organization has long stood up to the wind, and it's not surprising that it does anything angry and grievous.

Of course, this is all thanks to the secret plan of Henry and Robert. In order to promote the legitimacy of the rule, they did not hesitate to adapt the conspiracy and story of the Iron Throne into more than a dozen versions, and let the bards of Bluevent City College sing them everywhere. Now even the children in Deep Water City know that there is such an evil merchant organization on the Western Continent, which specializes in uniting monsters to subvert the local government.

The whole plan mobilized dozens of bards and cost more than 20,000 gold coins, but the results achieved were far beyond imagination. The biggest advantage is that it has won the approval of the majority of the people, and at the same time permanently characterizes the Iron Throne as an evil organization. These two points not only ensured Henry's legal dominance, but also annexed a large number of shops, warehouses, and goods that originally belonged to the Iron Throne.

It can be said that more than half of the reasons why the Iron Throne made such a bold move were forced. If they swallowed their breath and watched so much property being forcibly expropriated, the hearts of the people would immediately dissipate, and the entire organization would soon fall apart. After all, the purpose of the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce is to stand up for the merchants who have joined in. If this is not done, who will turn in a portion of the profits for no reason.

At first, the senior officials of the Iron Throne were just thinking about trying it out, but they didn't expect Anta Silver Shield to be so vulnerable that they would occupy several towns and large tracts of land almost without blood. Because of this, their ambitions began to swell further, and they wanted to attack Henry in the south, but they didn't expect to steal chickens and lose money.

These guys still don't know that there is a deadly elite force behind their ass. As long as Corey captures the town of Triel, he can immediately form a (explosion) momentum against the enemy forces that are besieging Soba. As long as he is willing, this sharp dagger can easily come up behind the Iron Throne, guaranteeing that the opponent can survive and die.

————————————————————

As it approached midnight, Henry, who was stinking all over his body, finally got out of the sewer in the temple area. He killed another elemental lich without alarming anyone, and at the same time got the other half of the opponent's phylactery and Kangus's seal, the hand bones and leg bones made of gold.

Because of the long time spent in the sewers, his patience has long been worn down, and there is still a wicked fire in his stomach. When he sees a lich, he will directly seal the surroundings with a "dimensional anchor" without saying a word. The space is followed by a weakened version of the legendary magic "Sunrise". The poor elemental lich didn't even have time to say anything, and there was no scum left to be destroyed by the positive energy.

Maybe it was because he was in a better mood after venting, Henry lifted his invisibility and walked leisurely on the streets of the temple area. He even hummed a small tune. However, when he passed by the entrance of the Temple of Heim, the faces of the two knights suddenly became difficult to look at, and they covered their noses and mouths at the same time.

No way, this smell is really stinky. You should know that there are many things in the sewers of Ascatla, including domestic waste water, excrement, leftover food, human or monster corpses, etc., all of which rot, deteriorate, and ferment inside, and ordinary people even breathe. The air in a mouthful can be infected with deadly germs.

"Hey! Dear knights, good evening. Today's night is really good. Bathing in the bright moonlight makes one feel happy, isn't it?" Henry stopped and said with a smile. He noticed the movements of these two guys and deliberately teased them.

One of the knights suffocated his breath and quickly returned: "Good evening, sir. But I suggest you go home quickly, knowing that the recent night is not very safe."

"Oh? Didn't the vampire disappear from the scene two days ago? How come out now?" Henry asked with a curious expression on his face. Obviously, he was having a bad taste, and he wanted to try how long it would take these two guys to speak up.

Paladins are the incarnation of order and kindness, and they must lead by example, not to swear, let alone swear. They must be polite in their dealings with others, even if they are dirty beggars. It can be said that under such harsh conditions, quite a number of paladins who were called upon could not help but choose to fall, some became dark guards who believed in evil gods, and some became warriors.

The knight (here refers to the profession ~www.ltnovel.com~ is not the title in the noble system) is a variant of the paladin, giving up the use of long-range weapons, and adding combat against dragons and demons in daily training project. They understand the body structure of dragons and demons better than others, so they can exert a stronger fighting power when dealing with these wild beasts or evil beings. Of course, the knight must also observe all the virtues of the paladin.

The temple knight in front of him forcibly resisted the disgusting smell, and introduced the struggle between the shadow thief and the vampire in the past few days. He said in great detail, he almost said everything he knew, and he didn't mean to deal with things at all.

Although Henry has always thought these guys are a bit stupid, there is no denying that they are indeed worthy of admiration. After all, not everyone can talk for ten minutes with the smelly smell just to prevent a stranger from encountering danger. It seems reasonable that paladins are very popular in many places, at least they protect many people from evil monsters.

It seems that the recruitment of a paladin can be considered after the evil squad is disbanded. Anyway, the holy Avenger "Casomir" lying in the dimensional bag is also a waste, it is better to take it out and use it first. In particular, the two special effects of increasing the powerful magic resistance and the release of "dispelling magic" when hit, can completely make the holder a veritable spellcaster killer.
