Griffith prepared several plans for today's infiltration reconnaissance. However, no one present cared about the Viscount who had just lost his army, and only used his experience as an argument for his speech.
A small group of commanders were still shouting in vain:
"I believe in Xia Boyang - he is the noblest and most upright man among all people, and the hero who saved us from the abyss of failure. I will lead the column entrusted to me to follow Xia Boyang, not you!"
"And me!" someone responded.
"Okay, you go with him, but our troops," Don Joseph said firmly, "will march eastward tomorrow, and we will take down the old town!"
"Ah, without the wisdom and experience of Xia Boyang who led us, how could you have accomplished a great and worthy cause!?" Hart Orwell said mockingly, "The famous general of Beyeland is not a fool in name only like Macdonald.
Sharon and Larmore will chop you all into pieces as soon as they arrive here with the main army!"
Others retorted: "We took up arms to fight for freedom, and now we have a new master sitting on our heads."
"If you think disorder, undiscipline and chaos are freedom, we don't want such freedom! Discipline and order are much better than your kind of freedom. We must follow the wise and resolute commander. Victory has proved it.
at this point."
The rebel commanders quarreled and began to push each other until the sound of trumpets interrupted the quarrel.
The meeting was about to begin, and commanders at all levels left the camp with shouts and walked towards the commander-in-chief's headquarters.
Griffith also left the camp without saying a word. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it anyway.
Xia Boyang led the rebels to achieve such an amazing victory, yet he was not unanimously supported, and was hated and abandoned by so many commanders.
They had just wiped out one of Beyelan's legions and were about to split up!
The surging dissatisfaction flooded the entire camp. In a small conference room, Griffith met for the first time the rebel leader who defeated Beyelan.
According to the agenda of the meeting, first the commanders of each column spoke. Most of them demanded that they march on in advantage of the victory, ignore the Twelfth Army that was holding the camp, and go directly to attack the old town and drive Beyeran out of Verona.
Griffith watched silently, writing down the characteristics of each person and analyzing their organization.
The rebels already had five main columns, each with a little more than half the number of Beyelan's legions, but more flexible, and most were armed with lances, halberds and muskets.
In addition, there are two newly formed columns that are being trained. As long as it takes a little time, this army will be as strong as the old columns.
The strength of these seven columns is more than 20,000 people, and there are also many independent units, auxiliary units and new recruits of different sizes. The number of troops is very messy, and the total strength should be more than 40,000 people.
Griffith immediately made a judgment
Xia Boyang did not complete the reorganization of this army at all!
The rebel commander stood on a small high platform. He was only twenty-seven years old, thin, and had almost no military temperament. Under his slightly curly black hair, he had a pair of soft, intellectual black eyes, looking helplessly.
officers.
Standing next to Xia Boyang were some staff officers and staff, each glaring angrily at the troubled commander. In a corner, Griffith also saw two familiar figures.
Oscar from the Hybrid Experimental Unit is here!
Oscar, who was not far from Xia Boyang, was wearing a coat casually. His eyes were uninhibited and free, but also a little more melancholy and dignified than before. His short companion Mika stood side by side with him, looking indifferently.
A noisy venue.
Xia Boyang began to speak. He shouted to the rebel leaders:
"The victory over Macdonald proved to the world that a legion acting alone is also dangerous. Beyeland must weigh themselves. If they dare to attack us, they must assemble several legions and form a large army to act together to ensure safety! In
In this case, sweeping and inserting are no longer possible!"
"Okay!" Everyone clapped their hands and stamped their feet together, even the dissatisfied commanders cheered.
"But, but...listen to me, comrades!"
Xia Boyang pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to listen:
"My proposal, as stated in the proposal, is to take this opportunity to conclude a contract!
"We need to buy more time, unite more insurgents, and assemble new columns. If Beyelan breaks his promise, they will definitely do so. By that time, we will have enough power to resist them.
"
Immediately a column commander interrupted him rudely: "We should go straight to Old Town."
"No, we can't go!"
Xia Boyang shouted, with such a loud voice that it was impossible to imagine that such a refined young man could utter it:
"I insist that everyone go back to build and defend the base area. This is a decision I made after long and mature consideration.
“Victory in one or two battles cannot defeat Beyeland!
"My comrades, conquer Beyeland, crush it, destroy the rule of wizards and nobles! Doesn't this thought keep me awake at night, doesn't it make me think about it in my dreams? ... That would make me
Accomplishing a great cause that the most famous commander could not accomplish! Isn't this a great honor for me?
"But you have to understand that going to the old town, going to the mage tower and ruins to challenge the mystery is more difficult than a mortal challenging Behemoth. No matter how many times this giant beast is defeated, it can obtain endless power from the earth;
When it stands up again, it will be even more ferocious than before. We didn't even see the towers of the old town, and we were about to fall on the road.
"Intelligence shows that in addition to the Twelfth Legion fighting us, there are several new armies that have gathered and are threatening our flanks from several directions! We have to pay a huge price to eliminate the Beyonders in Beyelan.
People are being mobilized from all directions every day!
"Even if we win every battle and destroy Beyelan's army, within a few days they will gather more troops to attack us.
"Can we defeat ten or twenty legions and their auxiliary legions? Even so, Beyeran will send thirty or forty more legions until we are completely defeated and eliminated.
"In order to defeat Behemoth, the hero in the myth did not throw it to the ground, but raised it into the air with his strong hands and strangled it to death. If we want to resist Bejelan, we must cut off the roots that it relies on for survival.
We must launch an uprising of all oppressed people to oppose it. We must surround this powerful country from the countryside, wilderness and valleys, and then attack the capital of the world together, tightening the encirclement step by step, until the walls that surround them
, block the strait, use giant cannons to knock on the epic city gate, and use half a million troops to destroy the city!
"This is the only way to defeat Beyelan and the only way to cut off its power. Victory in one or two battles cannot defeat it. Only the efforts of several generations can do it. Only the East and the West
The people of Odessa and the southern provinces unite, and only by building a unified alliance of the oppressed against the bandits and swindlers can we defeat this huge monster, this slow but irresistible force with its terrible tentacles.
Monsters that burrow into every corner of the world to suck blood.
"There is no other way."
This man is right... Griffith secretly sighed. If he were to lead the rebels, he would not have a better view.
The rebel leaders fell into silence for a while, seemingly impressed by Xia Boyang's wisdom and foresight.
"Please let me say a few words."
Suddenly, a cold voice came from among the people present.
Griffith's attention was immediately attracted. If he hadn't heard this, he wouldn't have known that Isius had arrived.
The traitor didn't know what method he used to escape from Aaron and Naira. He was wrapped in a thick linen cloak, his body was hunched over, and he looked decadent.
"The great Marshal Xia Boyang, commanders, you must remember that cultivating and maintaining Gulam requires a lot of magic potions and materials; our invincible column, the terrifying beast of war is launched, and countless supplies are consumed every day.
Number. Everyone must have a deep understanding of it.
"Please note, fellow warriors, we are able to achieve today's victory, in addition to wise command and brave warriors, we also owe it to the generous Confederacy
“Without the gold, potions, weapons and ammunition they worked so hard to send, we wouldn’t be able to last even a week of war!
"These wise gentlemen have repeatedly said that only brave resistance can overthrow the rule of the Beyelan Senate and the Arcane Council. It is true that the war is difficult and dangerous, but we can no longer stop!
"Our war with Beyelan will only end when one side falls. If we retreat to the mountains, Beyelan's pursuers will follow! If we retreat to the mountains, our allies, the generous Confederacy, will be surprised and hesitate.
, looking for other warriors! The assistance given to us by the Confederacy will be cut off!
“Ask yourself, can you live without Confederate supplies?!
"There is only one choice before us!
"That is to move forward, by any means necessary! We have no choice, we can't stop!"
These words were like pouring a ladle of water into boiling oil, causing the venue to burst into flames again in an instant.
"To hell with the base! The Confederacy will prepare everything for us!"
"March! March!"
Many commanders who had just been suppressed started making a fuss, and a large group of independent troops also followed suit.
"Vote, vote, vote!"
"Initiate a vote! We're going to Oldtown!"
Participants included the commander of the first column, Hart Orwell, the commander of the second column, Denis Tognini, the commander of the fifth column, Don Joseph, the commander of the ninth column, Nezhad Serer, the commander of the 12th column, Anthony Green and the new
The commanders of the 10th and 11th columns are the demon hunters Parari Rabindra and Isius de Crozier, as well as the commander of the special column Oscar. Each of these commanders controls a force.
In addition to these people, many captains of the independent brigade also participated in the voting.
The results came out in the blink of an eye. Except for Hart Orwell, commander of the first column, and Tognini, commander of the second column, almost no main force supported Xia Boyang's proposal.
The vast majority of people are eager to attack the core control area of Beyeland and go there to receive the weapons and supplies prepared by the Confederacy.
For Beyelan, this is not bad... Griffith looked at the rebel commanders with schadenfreude. As long as they left the mountains and entered the plains, he would bring troops and supernatural beings to teach these madmen how to behave.
Xia Boyang stared at the bulletin board of the voting results, as cold as ice. Even if he was the leader of the army, he could not resist the opinions of collective decision-making. Finally, he took a deep breath, raised his head and chest, and stared at the delighted people.
