The short meeting ended quickly. It was already late at night, and everyone went to rest or go on duty. Under the leadership of the guards, Judah came to Edward's former room.
Brigadier General Alan, who was accompanying him, also came in: "What you just said was very good. It moved the generals."
Qiu Da said: "Whether you are fighting or doing anything, you must focus on attacking the heart. After the battle of Xiegu, the Seventh Army was severely damaged. On the one hand, it was facing pressure to disband. On the other hand, it was worried that other armies would talk long and short and look down on them. At this time,
Praising Edward will naturally increase my favor in their minds. I have to make them obey my orders, and I have to use some means. Although I have brought many people, they are still the backbone of this army. If they
Without cooperation, I, the supreme commander, will have an empty military rank."
Alan smiled and said: "So I said you are doing a good job. Before this, I have been worried that they will be too disgusted with you. Not only your age, but also your military rank and qualifications, it is really not suitable to serve as their commander."
suitable."
Juda said: "Don't talk about them. Even under General Ruhr, there are people who are dissatisfied with my appointment as the commander of the Seventh Army. I have been mentally prepared for this. But this alone is not enough. Just let these old officers
Being moved is not enough for me to take control of this army. If I want to gain their confidence..."
Seeing him thinking, Alan asked: "Do you have any ideas? I heard you said at the meeting that you don't think much of Genis. Do you want to start with him?"
Juda pointed at him and smiled: "As expected of us, we have been good brothers for so many years."
Alan smiled and said: "It's easy to guess. The most direct way to gain the trust of this army is to avenge General Edward. It's just... I just can't think of how to do it. Do you have a plan?"
Juda walked to the desk and sat down, twirling the pen on the desk, and said: "Gennis is a man who is generous on the outside but jealous on the inside. On the surface, he is tolerant and generous, but in fact, he is very jealous on the inside and cannot tolerate the credit of others.
He is strong. Not to mention other people, even the other two members of the 'Three True Warriors', he cannot tolerate them being more prestigious than him, which is why I look down on him."
Alan said in disbelief: "He is actually such a person?"
The people who know you best are definitely not your friends, but your enemies.
Juda smiled slightly and said: "I have carefully studied his resume. Not only him. Before coming here, I have obtained detailed information about every enemy general. Genis actually became famous very early, as early as 23
When he was 20 years old, he took the lead in inciting the villagers to rebel and became famous."
"Rebellion! He is so courageous. But why did he serve in the Saint Bikoa Empire Army? For such a serious matter, according to Saint Bikoya's past practice, shouldn't he be put to death?" Alan asked doubtfully.
Judah said: "At that time, the new king of Saint Bikoya had just succeeded to the throne, and the political landscape of the country was about to be purged. Genis was also a politically astute person. He saw this opportunity to incite the people to rebel, and the target of the rebellion was exactly
The new king tried his best to eliminate the influence of other princes. This gave the new king the opportunity to eliminate the dissidents, so in this matter, not only did he not suffer any punishment, but he was also appointed for it."
"So he is still a very smart person."
Juda said: "He is a smart man. Smart people will always be excluded by others."
Alan smiled and said, "Are you talking about yourself?"
Judah ignored him and continued: "And he also had a big problem. He was too arrogant and didn't know how to restrain himself, so it wasn't long before he was forced out of Sindmoor. He changed his career and became a mercenary.
Later, as his strength improved, he rejoined Saint Vicoia's army."
"Later, his knight seal was unsealed and he became an awakened knight. He was again reused by the Saint Bikoya military and was nicknamed the 'Burning Ghost'." Alan added the following words for him.
of.
"That's right." Juda said: "He knew that with his status at that time, he was not a match for those who suppressed him, so after he was re-employed, he pretended not to care about the past, and instead made friends with those people.
, not only managed to survive among these people, but also dispelled their wariness, and gradually understood their weaknesses."
Alan said: "This person is really scheming. He must have recharged his energy during that period, accumulated his own strength and status, and when the time is right, he will take revenge."
"You are right." Juda said: "So up to now, none of those who have offended him have had a good ending."
Alan said: "Have you decided how to deal with him?"
Judah said: "He is mean and jealous, and he is very suspicious. He often suppresses his subordinates and takes credit for himself."
Alan's eyes lit up and he said: "Are you talking about estrangement? Is there any good way?"
Juda smiled and said, "I hadn't thought about it at first, but as soon as I came here, the solution was right in front of me."
After waiting all night, they did not wait for a large-scale attack by the enemy. Perhaps it was Bimoye's visit to the camp that made them feel that the plan was exposed and gave up, or perhaps there was no such plan at all. In short, it was a peaceful night, which is what everyone is happiest about.
.
Bimoye waited with everyone all night and chatted with Selt all night. Everyone was a little tired. In fact, he didn't chat much. Most of the time, he just listened to them talk. As a friend, he is more suitable.
Being a listener is good enough to make him listen.
The sky was getting brighter, and the fire that had been raised in the night was gradually cooling down. Irina rubbed her face, which was stiff from the cold night, and said, "It's been a safe night, it's time to change shifts."
Ursula said: "The other side also knows that we have new sources of troops, so they don't dare to implement the original plan."
Not all of the 12,000 newly arrived soldiers were stationed in the city, and a considerable number were camped in the mountains to the west.
Not only did the enemy not make a large-scale attack that night, but the number of raids was also reduced. Not only was the number of raids reduced, the sentry in front of the city early in the morning also discovered that the enemy camp was moving back. After all, the distance was four kilometers.
It's too close, and now both sides' forces will feel uneasy no matter which side they are.
"Captain Thane."
"Captain, why did you get up so early and didn't you sleep a little longer?"
Thain pulled the cloak tied at the collar and said with a smile: "It's rare to have a restful sleep, but I feel a little uncomfortable. Didn't the enemy come last night?"
"He came, but he left quickly without making any big noise." A soldier said.
Thain said: "Okay, okay, you go have breakfast, it's time to change the guard."
Breakfast is optional, but there are not many varieties. This is a canteen in a military camp, not a restaurant, but it is just like a restaurant. In addition to formal meals, if you want to eat more, you have to pay for it.
Bimoye took a blueberry pancake and a glass of milk, and everyone else also took what they wanted to eat and squatted on the rocks behind the barracks to enjoy it.
But Thain came here at some unknown time, peeled off a piece of fruit candy, put it in his mouth and asked, "Hey, are your injuries okay?"
Irina knew that he was talking about the wounds left by caning, so she shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt much after the medicine has been applied."
Thain sighed, squatted on the stone, and said: "You guys, you didn't report such a big thing as a night visit to the enemy camp. Do you know that it's easy for you to just leave without saying anything? It's very easy in the military camp."
Treat you as deserters."
"We are deserters?" Irina said unconvinced: "We are deserters, why did we come?"
Thain said: "Of course I'm not saying that you are deserters, but everything must be done according to the discipline of the military camp. Okay, I'm not here to argue with you. How is your friend's injury?"
"Still lying in the ward, it should be better." Irina said.
After washing up, Joda went to the conference room to see Langdon and asked, "Have you done all the intelligence things you talked about last night?"
Langdon said: "The general situation has been reported to the main camp using the Tongyishi Stone. The suspected enemy's troop deployment plan has also been sent overnight for appraisal."
Juda said: "What about the traitor?"
Langdon said: "This matter was not reported. I wrote it in a letter and asked the soldier who delivered the letter to hand it over to General Ruhr in person."
Juda nodded: "Very good."
Langdon said: "After breakfast later, I will accompany you to inspect the conditions of each camp."
"There's no rush." Juda said, "Before that, I have something I want you to do."
"What's the matter, General?"
Juda said: "I wrote a letter and asked you to send a messenger to the enemy camp opposite and deliver it to their current supreme commander."
Langdon said: "According to detective reports, Gurnis is not in the military camp opposite now."
Judah shook his head and said: "It's not Gurness, it's for Allen. I've already written the letter. It's best to send it over this morning."
Langdon took the letter and asked, "Do you know this Allen?"
"I don't know him." Juda smiled and said, "But I got to know him soon."
