"Hmm~ Those idiots don't understand the armored cavalry," Heinz nodded, "Mobility, defense, and impact. The armored cavalry unit should be a balance of these three, choose the battlefield flexibly, and rely on effective defense to display its assault capabilities.
Instead of attacking an unbeatable mythical creature like infantry, you can attack other orc infantry and leave the slow-moving big target to the artillery crossbow. Fortunately, Maximus reacted after being hit head-on.
Come here, otherwise you young people will all be photographed..."
Griffith's heart thumped. Director Heinz noticed his student's sad expression in time and quickly changed the topic.
"I am going to reorganize the tactical organization of the armored cavalry. On the existing basis, I will add an armored cavalry organization to follow you. If you encounter the strong defense of the pike phalanx and must attack, this is inevitable. You and the archers will
Attack and break through through hand-to-hand combat under long-range cover."
"However, the rate of fire and firepower of the cavalry have no advantage over the infantry archers, and when there are more people, it will not be easy to deploy, and they will also block the way of the armored cavalry." Griffith thought that it was difficult to command, and simply
Put forward his own opinions.
Director Heinz said: "That's natural. The horse archers cannot be organized and fight in the same way as before. Their composition and equipment are still under experimentation. If you have any ideas, please write to me.
"Griffith Blanton, you are a thinking young man. You have to know that the capital is no safer than the east. There are completely different evils and conspiracies here. In the next few years, I hope you
Before you make your own contribution, don’t die in vain.”
The words of the Director of Armored Cavalry were very sincere. Griffith knew that this was his teacher's unique way of expressing his concern, so he nodded very seriously.
"Okay, if we have anything to say, we can talk on the way to Larmour House," Director Heinz took his coat off the hanger and strode outside, "I'll go with you."
A carriage was already waiting for them outside the General Staff Headquarters. The two of them got into the carriage like a whirlwind and sped towards Larmore House.
"Besides your little battle, did you find anything else?" Teacher Heinz opened his mouth and asked as soon as he sat down, "I know about the goblins and living corpses, tell me something else."
"The food supply is not as tight as I thought," Griffith said immediately. "On my way back, before the official armistice, although ordinary citizens still ate black bread as their staple food, there was still enough food, including meat and complementary foods.
The supply situation is acceptable.”
"Interesting point of concern," Heinz nodded with interest. "The grain transported by the southern provinces has greatly eased the supply pressure. The Senate is preparing a new bill to encourage grain trade. If it hadn't been for Cornelius
The expeditionary force took it there, and your Eastern Army's offensive has long been unsustainable due to logistical pressure. Brandon, do you know the true strategic purpose of the General Staff in this war?"
"Our attack has been advancing along the coastline. In fact, the real purpose is not to conquer the orcs' land fortress, but to seize their ports to avoid danger to the southern trade line. Is the kingdom's real intention to conquer the south?"
Feis expressed a guess of his own, "Earlier I thought that the coastal advance was to maintain logistical stability, but this cannot explain that conquering Atana Fortress will end the war."
"Humph, you are right. The victory in the Battle of Atana was not a decisive battle with the orcs as advertised at the beginning. The capture of the fortress meant that their navy lost the last large port that could threaten the south, the raider fleet.
You have to retreat to the farther east to regroup, and you won't be able to come out again in a few years." Director Heinz Wilhelm said with a smile, "Very good, Griffith, although your military rank is only a small sergeant.
, but your vision is much broader than those of soldiers and officers. When you enter school, remember to take the advanced art of logistics."
The road from the Reserve Army Headquarters to Larmore House was smooth and quiet. Apart from the pleasant scenery, there was no annoying smell or noise. The carriage passed through the beautiful streets and arrived in front of a luxurious mansion. Director Heinz
Jumped down like a young man.
"Come down quickly, little sergeant, this is another battlefield for you."
Well-dressed servants welcomed them politely through the exquisite courtyard and came to the spacious and luxurious living room to take a rest. The crystal chandelier cast a soft and beautiful light, and every piece of furniture was designed to be just right. There was a touch of fumes.
The fragrance wafts in the cool interior, making people extremely comfortable. The three-person-high floor-to-ceiling windows provide an unobstructed view of the exquisite garden, completely driving depression and boredom out of the living room.
While waiting in the living room, the servants brought tea snacks and fruits, which were so exquisite that it was hard to put down.
Griffith was immediately dazzled by this place, which was countless times more beautiful than the Reserve Army Headquarters.
"Don't make such a fuss," said the flag captain. "Where did the legionnaire's determination go? These seemingly respectful and polite servants will try their best to make fun of you in private. You are just the second son of a border knight and a non-commissioned officer with little money in his pocket.
and the senior security guards at the count's house. After I leave, they will approach you enthusiastically, teach you how to be a decent person in the capital, and then try to get you to do something stupid that will discredit you."
Griffith was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly retracted his confused and intoxicated expression, trying hard to put on a serious expression. But the Earl's Palace was so beautiful and elegant, and the apprentice knight could not turn himself into a vicious one even if he gritted his teeth.
Servants soon came to announce that the count was ready for an interview.
Chief Heinz did not even need the guidance of a servant, and led the trainee knight through the long corridor, quickly through the main building of the mansion, and arrived at a circular room in the garden of Larmore House. A handsome, kind-hearted man
The elegant middle-aged man turned around from the bookshelf and looked gently at the trainee knight who appeared in front of him. He was tall and his blond hair had been dyed with the traces of time. The shining silver oak leaf knight on his coat
The Ankh clearly states his identity.
This is Count Larmour, one of the direct counts most trusted and favored by the king.
"Well, the second son of Knight Brandon? He looks very similar. It seems that the legion has fed you well." The earl pointed to the sofa beside him and motioned for the flag captain and his little follower to sit down. "I have seen your
Resume. Originally, I wanted to place you next to my eldest son, but unfortunately his ambition is to study history rather than politics and the military. My daughter has just turned 16 and will go to Homewood for her first grade this fall.
Luvash's prophecy predicts that the apprentice knight will be a good companion knight."
Iluvash... This goddess's prophecy is respected and recognized by both humans and elves. It is probably she who asked Galadia to venture into the forest alone...
"This is my honor, Your Majesty," Griffith, who had been waiting for these words, jumped up like a spring not long after he sat down.
The earl nodded, motioned for Griffith to sit down, and then looked at the flag captain: "The Army Command Section at Homemonworth is a good place, but many people think it is too comfortable there. What do you think?"
Captain Heinz, who had gray hair on his temples and looked serious, said: "Maybe the Army University is a good choice, but for aspiring young people, the experience that a comprehensive magic academy can provide is more valuable than pure military skills."
"Yes, you are right," the Earl sat down at the desk and picked up the quill at hand. "This way I can worry less about the secrets of Homemonworth. The temperament of these young people is restraining secrets.
It’s very effective.”
The secret of Homemonworth? What is this? Griffiths had no idea what the earl meant, but he just kept it in his mind and could study it later when he had the chance.
Just when Griffith was confused, Count Larmore had already quickly written a letter and handed it to the flag captain: "That's it for today, then let the second-level captain adapt to Beyeland by himself.
life."
After seeing off the flag captain, the earl took the trainee knight to the library on the first floor: "You can read the books here and have dinner with us before enrolling."
Isn't it a little bit to ask a lowly person like me to attend the dinner... Before Griffith could express his thanks, the earl continued: "How many shirts do you have?"
"Two," replied Griffith, feeling nervous at the sight of such a nobleman condescending to care about such a trivial matter.
"Very well," the count said quickly in a commanding tone, "go to the butler to collect this quarter's salary and buy twenty more."
