The suggestion of Green Tower Manor as the main force in rescuing Archduke Adolf was not because Kalenich and Percy were arrogant.
Before Roy came back, the two of them had studied it carefully.
Putting aside their involvement in the war, the current strength of Green Tower Manor alone is enough to give them the confidence to take this fight.
Think about it, among the one hundred and seventy-nine knights, there are one hundred and twenty-nine who are above the level of justice. With such power, let alone the city of Munich, they are the best of the best anywhere.
Moreover, all of these knights have crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and can even be called veterans who have died once. In terms of experience, will, courage, and even the means of killing, ordinary knights cannot be compared!
Kalenich and Percy had been leading troops in wars for their whole lives and knew the role of veterans in war.
They are calm and brave, with extremely strong endurance. On the battlefield, their combat effectiveness can reach three to five times that of knights of the same level. When an army of the same number and strength meets these guys, the only result is to be cut down.
Chop like vegetables.
And things like quickly executing the commander's intention, holding on to the rear, attacking and breaking through, diverging to escape, moving thousands of miles to fight, and going deep behind enemy lines are just like playing for them. They can't be dragged down or defeated, even if they suffer setbacks and the whistle blows.
Be able to gather together again, cheer up and go into battle.
With such a force in hand, there will be no place in the world for you to go!
Moreover, in addition to the powerful warriors of Rong Yang Camp, the more than one hundred elf hunters in Green Tower Manor are definitely not a bunch of pretty and eye-catching vases.
Rangers, a profession that provides long-range suppression, road exploration, intelligence detection and battlefield cover, have an extremely important position in the Knights. They are the eyes, the tentacles, and the guarantee for an army walking in the fog of war. Every one of them is
Excellent hunters are treasures in the army.
In this profession, the best race is the elves with natural talents of running, hiding and archery.
An ordinary elf can rival the best human hunters after a short period of training. If he hones himself on the battlefield for a period of time, he can grow into an ace. He can get what the commander needs most in the most critical and difficult situations.
Intelligence points the way for the team.
In the frontier army where the two men were before, even the most heroic warriors were afraid of the combination of the elf hunter and the old falcon they met. The intelligence detection ability of the elves, coupled with the assassination and attack of the old falcon. It was simply...
A nightmare-like existence. Once targeted, it can be said that there is no chance of death!
However, due to years of alienation from humans, as well as their own arrogance and untamability, elf hunters are extremely rare in the human world. Having three or five elf hunters in an army is enough to make people jealous.
.
But who would have thought that there would be more than a hundred elf hunters in this small manor!
Even though these elves were just a group of slaves not long ago, after this period of intense training and the guidance of the knights in the training camp, any one of them now has the strength of a senior hunter in the army.
Their talents, their past experiences and their belief in controlling their own destiny in this troubled world made them progress rapidly. In the early eradication battles, more bandits died under their bows and arrows than those who died under the swords of the knights.
many!
Because of this, after carefully examining the situation, Kalenich and Percy believed that the only person who could rescue Archduke Adolf now was this army.
Roy looked at Kalenich and then at Percy, and he suddenly became interested: "Tell me about it."
After listening to Kalenich and Percy's analysis, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
I have to admit that the military vision and accomplishments of the two famous generals Kalenich and Percy are unparalleled by ordinary people. As they explained, the chaotic battle situation gradually became clear.
Their ideas are not complicated.
From the current point of view, the biggest problem facing Lulian is the lack of troops. However, the inability to concentrate troops to open a channel to rescue Archduke Adolf does not mean that it cannot create opportunities for Archduke Adolf to break through.
The Fei Lie army's deployment in Wanshan County is intertwined with each other. This arrangement is both a trap and an opportunity for the Lulian army.
According to the analysis of Kalenich and Percy, Fano and the Munich City Guard were determined to rescue Archduke Adolf. Facing the overwhelming Lurian army, the Phillies, who had already prepared to encircle the point for reinforcements, also
Never miss a chance!
You must know that after the fall of Archduke Adolf's central army, the Munich City Guard was the last backbone of Lurian's north. For the Phillies, it was better for the Phillies to follow the Munich City Guard who huddled behind the city wall than to pay a high price in the future.
Instead of working hard, it is better to take this opportunity to complete the battle!
And once Fano attracts the attention of the Feili people, the Green Tower Manor hidden behind Fano will be able to find an opportunity to open the door. If you contact Archduke Adolf at that time and ask him to activate it at the same time, by cooperating inside and outside,
Maybe we can break out of the prison in one fell swoop!
There are two key points to the entire plan.
The first is the need to keep it secret. There is only one chance. Once Philip's army sees through the intention and assumes a posture of not showing its head, when more troops from its southern ports arrive, not even gods can save Archduke Adolf.
The second is to be quick.
Archduke Adolf could not afford to wait, nor could the war in the south.
The besieged Archduke immediately faced a fierce attack by Philip's army. No one knew how long more than 10,000 soldiers with low morale and lack of supplies could hold out.
Also missing is the northwest direction of Lulian. Facing the famous general Duke Benson and Philip's army moving south, the combination of Marquis Ashley and the Fifth Army will not give people a sense of security.
And whether the Grand Duke was captured and killed or Benson broke through and headed south, it was a disaster for Lulian!
After discussion, the three of them decided that these two points were not too big a problem.
Regarding confidentiality, except for a limited number of people within Green Tower Manor, they were not even prepared to tell Fano. After all, Fano, as the military chief of Munich City, had gathered too many ulterior motives. At the same time,
As a bait, the less informed he is, the less vulnerable he will be in the eyes of the enemy.
Speed is not a problem either. In fact, it is not something you need to worry about at all. Fano is more eager to rescue Archduke Adolf than anyone else. Judging from his requirement that the students report to the military camp within three days and the movement of a large number of Guard soldiers leaving the city in recent days, it is clear that the attack
The time should be within a week.
However, there was a problem that gave Roy a headache.
For the sake of safety, at the end of the plan, Kalenich and Percy proposed that an army of approximately 2,000 people must be organized in a short period of time to provide support and cover to coordinate with the actions of Green Tower Manor.
.
Where can I find this?
They ate the bean soup, bacon and grilled boar chops sent by Malt from the kitchen, plus a large barrel of rum. The three of them discussed it for a long time, but to no avail.
First of all, the possibility of looking for soldiers from Fano is directly ruled out. Since the plan cannot be told to Fano, it is impossible to talk about recruiting troops.
Secondly, it is unrealistic to find the Red Leaf Knights.
The Red Leaf Knights were the first army to join the Lurian War. For more than a year, they assisted Archduke Adolf in his southern and northern campaigns. Most of their troops were scattered along the long defense line from west to east, and they were currently in Wanshan County.
The total strength of the troops is only 4,000. Not to mention that Philip cannot mobilize so many people, even if he does, it will immediately arouse the vigilance of Philip's army.
And excluding these two possibilities, where else can such an army be found?
Roy was thinking hard, completely unaware that the bacon on his plate had been secretly taken away by Oliver who was squatting next to him, and he hid in the corner and ate until his mouth was full of grease.
After a long while, his eyes lit up: "The ragtag army and the training camp!"
After hearing Roy's words, Kalenich and Percy looked at each other, both a little confused.
It's not like they haven't considered the Wuhe Army and the training camp students. Especially after they heard Roy talking about Fano's order for students to report to the south camp within three days in the chat just now, this has become a factor in their calculations.
part of the Lulian force.
However, this part of the force is under Fano's control. What's the difference between trying to influence them and directly asking for people from Fano?
"What do you mean?" Kalenich asked.
"Why do you think General Fano is so anxious for us to report to the military camp?" Roy asked with a smile while drinking rum.
This question is not difficult to answer.
Kalenich and Percy knew that with the current strength of these rookies, Fano would not be able to send them to the front line no matter how short of troops they were. The reason why he ordered the students to enter the camp to prepare for combat was because he needed them to supplement the Munich City Guard.
It's just a defensive force after leaving.
After hearing the answers from the two men, Roy's smile became brighter and he asked again: "Since we are not together with General Fano, then who will lead us after the general goes on an expedition?"
The two great knights of light were startled. But soon, they came to their senses and laughed.
Based on their understanding of Munich's military, it is not a difficult question to guess who the generals left behind after Fano left. They can count several of them by just turning their fingers.
These people may be the generals of the Munich City Guard who were left behind by Fano, or they may be some highly respected noble lord. No matter who they are, they are not actually the focus of the problem.
The point is, Fano is gone!
As soon as he leaves, our worries will disappear. At that time, the ragtag army and training camp students who are determined to stay behind will become a huge fishing ground. If you cast a net, are you afraid that you will not be able to catch any fish?
Kalenich and Percy looked at each other and couldn't help but secretly admire Roy's brilliant mind. Compared with his peers, he was like a little fox that became a spirit!
The only thing that needs to be considered now is how to cast the net.
However, Roy has already solved this point.
"In the past few days, let the big guys join the rabble army in batches," Roy calculated. "With the big guy's strength and veteran status, it is not difficult to become a small team leader and squadron leader. When we are dispatched,
…”
There is no need to say what follows. The three of them looked at each other and smiled, just like three foxes discussing how to steal a chicken.
Turning to look at the grandfather clock on the wall, it was already past two o'clock in the morning. The world outside the window was dead silent, and the rich night cover the earth, with only a faint gleam on the horizon.
By this time, the sleepiness has long passed. In addition, since the problem has just been solved, not only is the person not sleepy, but he is even more energetic.
The three of them drank wine and chatted.
Roy talked about what happened in the academy, and Kalenich and Percy couldn't help laughing when they talked about the various attacks on the camp during this period, and about the looting of the Fifth Army's supply convoy.
"I heard about it as soon as I got up early that day," Roy said with a smile, sitting cross-legged by the window sill. "This matter was spread everywhere. Even many people in our college were talking about it, saying they didn't know it was
That big gang of thieves is so powerful. They dare to touch the tiger’s butt.”
"Not only your college," Percy said proudly, "the whole city of Munich was shaken."
He threw a wild boar bone to Oliver who was squatting in front of him, his tongue hanging out and his eyes eager, and he said with a smile: "In less than half a month, we have robbed more than thirty gangs of robbers, big and small.
Munich has a radius of hundreds of miles, and we can catch it all in one go!
The guys in Munich’s underground world were already frightened and panicked. Later, they heard that even the Fifth Army’s convoy had been robbed, how could they remain calm? A few days ago, our people went into the city to buy
Food, all I heard along the way were comments about us."
"Oh?" Roy was quite interested, "What did you say?"
"They are all nonsense," Percy laughed. "Some said it was an elite group of knights sent by His Majesty to clean up the place at this time. Some said it was a group of big thieves who came from the north to take advantage of the situation.
Those who stand on the top of the mountain each say their own thing and keep fighting."
Kalenich interjected: "The most ridiculous thing is that because we move fast, accurately and ruthlessly, we come and go like the wind, and we are sure to hit with one hit. It looks like a strictly trained army, but it turns out that what we do is like bandits."
Not only did he plunder dozens of bandit groups, but even the fifth knights were not spared. So, we simply gave us a name, bandit knights, and called this army the bandit army.
!”
"Bandit army?" Roy repeated curiously, smacking his lips, overjoyed.
Just as there is day and night, the human world has never lacked the existence of the underground world.
Roy has been wandering around since he was a child, meeting people from all religions and streams, and has a deep understanding of the underground world. In this world, there are nobles, commoners, slaves, businessmen, and countless desperadoes. They hide in the city.
In the darkest place, the most lawless deeds are done.
The city of Munich is obviously no exception. These chattering guys have been running rampant in the underground world of Munich for many years, and their livelihood is the bandit gang. In their eyes, there are only two kinds of people worthy of attention.
One is the gangsters who are more powerful than them. For such people, they can put aside their status and face and tolerate humiliation. Because they know that if they are ruthless, others will be even ruthless. Once they offend the other party, they will face a bloody storm.
It is commonplace for the powerful to annex the weak!
The second type is the army. No matter how powerful the bandit group is, they are not willing to go against the army. It can even be said that the survival soil of a bandit group depends to a large extent on the attitude of the local army. In the face of powerful bandits, they may
They still have the idea of fighting, but facing the army, their only thought is to escape for their lives!
Bandits and the army have a natural relationship between mice and cats.
However, bandits are bandits and knights are knights. In this hierarchical world, the two cannot be confused together.
But this time, they actually combined this and gave this army this weird name. From this, Roy could completely imagine their fear of this army's tyrannical strength and awe of their domineering style.
"How's it going?" Percy said with a smile, "Just in time, Master, when you come back this time, we also want to ask for your opinion on giving our team a name. Having a name will create cohesion and build a banner.
.Actually, I think the name Bandit Army is a good one."
"I think it's pretty good too," Kalenich said. "Young Master, although you don't have a title of nobility or a territorial title yet, didn't you just buy Bandez? According to the old saying, Bandez is the den of bandits.
What do you mean? We are called the Bandit Army, which is exactly what we are called!"
"Let's call them bandits!" Luo laughed and made the final decision!
The three of them laughed again.
While drinking and chatting, after a while, Percy suddenly said: "By the way, Master, do you still remember the bishop you told us to pay attention to?"
"Joseph?" Roy put down his glass, "What's wrong with him?"
Since the last time he attacked and killed the original county bishop in Medding City, and then pretended to be a hermit to gain Joseph's trust, Joseph has become a nail that Roy has driven into the Holy See.
At that time, Joseph was facing pressure from Bishop Sacchi of the Western District. He was almost scapegoated, and his position in the Inquisition had already been determined. Once he was accused at the bishops' conference, stripping off the bishop's clothes and displacing all his glory and wealth would not matter.
Whether you survive or not depends on luck.
But because of Roy's appearance, Joseph not only was not accused, but instead got on the hook of Archbishop Wallace of Lullian. Under the horrified gaze of those who had always looked down on him, he openly ascended the throne of the Bishop of Bronn County.
The throne, I don’t know how many people’s jaws dropped.
It was this narrow escape that made Joseph loyal to the mysterious esoteric monk. Perhaps Joseph's status may not play a role now, but Roy believes that as long as he can help Joseph rise, sooner or later he will be able to play a role.
A day of action.
And Roy himself never thought that that day would arrive so early.
Just when Joseph had just finished the joint bishops' conference and was returning to Meding City with the appointment letter of the county bishop, he happened to meet Roy who stabbed Matthew to death with a sword.
Although at that time, Joseph did not know that the civilian boy in front of him who dared to kill the nobles in front of them was the masked secret monk. However, when he saw Roy's gesture, he quickly acted in favor of Roy.
Decided to turn a blind eye to Matthew's death.
Reciprocating the favor, Lee Roy also gave Joseph the power to deal with the prisoners and the subsequent work on the case.
Wenger's fate was already doomed from the moment his robbery with the Black Skeleton Bandit was exposed. There was no need for Roy to do it himself. On the contrary, if power was handed over, for Joseph, it would be his promotion to the county bishop.
After that, the first achievement was made.
You must know that since mankind was defeated in the final battle and migrated to the Redemption Continent, the Holy Religion has been the only religion in the human world. The divine power is superior to the secular imperial power. Churches and believers are all over the continent.
In many places, the power of regional bishops and even church priests far exceeds that of noble lords. Especially in the Philippe Empire and the Pompeii Empire, the lords and nobles not only follow the leadership of the Holy See in name, but also actually lead their subjects to exercise power.
Time is the same.
Whether it is the succession of lords, the trial of territorial cases, conscription, tax collection, commerce, etc., the Holy See is everywhere. Even the coronation of the emperor is considered illegal without the recognition of the Pope.
However, there is no such thing in the Saint Solan Empire.
This is the only country that fought twenty-one battles with the Holy See and founded its country on the corpses of Holy See knights.
Here, everyone from the Solan royal family to the local lords have a natural resistance and vigilance towards the Holy See. Although there are always many people who want to embrace the Holy See, not everyone is willing to let the Holy See
He dictates and dictates his own secular power.
Take Wenger's case as an example. Under normal circumstances, this has nothing to do with the Holy See. The nobles will handle it themselves. If the Knights of the Red Leaves or Archduke Adolf want to take over, let alone a small county bishop, even Hua
Laish couldn't get involved either.
But unexpectedly, Joseph actually put his hand in!
And he intervened when the Red Leaf Knights had already taken the villains for granted!
When a group of wolf-like black monks from the Inquisition rushed into Wenger Castle in Luoxia City in the name of suppressing bandits and ransacked it. When this case shocked the empire and attracted the attention of the imperial nobles, Lanlith and Vatican, every Lurian
Members of the Holy See were excited.
I didn't do the thing, I got the stolen money with confidence, and the person is still in my hands, what could be better than this?
Joseph holds the initiative and can advance and retreat freely.
If the people of Lanlith want to save Wenger, they have to recognize the favor of Solan Holy See. This is a good opportunity for Solan Holy See, which is currently in an extremely embarrassing situation in the Holy See, to make its voice heard.
Even if Wenger's fate has nothing to do with the Holy See of Solan, Wenger's wealth is real. This quarter, the donation paid to Wallace by Bronn County amounted to hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
Members of the Holy See in Long County, regardless of their position, receive a share of the benefits.
For a time, Joseph's reputation soared. Not only did he secure the throne of the Bishop of Buron County, but he also made Saki, who had an unclear relationship with the case, disgraced. No one in the Western Vatican now dares to regard Joseph as the former bishop.
Look at that soft egg that can be kneaded at will.
What happened after that also proved this point.
When the literary monk Moon came to Joseph to ask for someone on the orders of the Langres people, the new county bishop, who was fair and fat and looked like a bully, flatly refused. He declared that apart from Wallace's words, who was he?
Don't even listen to what he says.
Therefore, Wenger is still in his hands until now.
Roy was aware of all these things. But when he heard Percy talking about Joseph, it was obvious that a new situation had arisen, which he could not help but care about.
"Joseph is in a bit of a bad situation right now," Percy said. "Ever since he rejected Moon's request, he has been on the opposite side of the Lanlith people. Although Wallace is very satisfied with his attitude,
However, judging from the current situation, he may be forced to surrender..."
"Forced to befriend someone?" Roy frowned.
Percy said: "A few days ago, Schilling visited Wallace. Although Wallace has not made a decision yet, judging from the information we have inquired about, he will most likely agree to hand over Wenger.
.”
"Yes," Kalenich said: "Now is the moment when Archduke Adolf has been defeated and Lullian is in danger. As long as Wallace has a little sense, he will not choose to offend the Langris people at this time."
Roy was silent. He lowered his eyelids and remained silent.
Seeing his cold gaze, Percy and Kalenich smiled at each other. They both knew Roy's past, and they also knew that although the young master looked like a gentle boy who was harmless to humans and animals, in fact, he was
The most vindictive guy in the world.
At that time, Wenger's son Matthew abandoned the common people of Borabel and helped Zhou torture and kill Roy's best friend Tom. Later, Wenger sent a large number of Guard soldiers to actively assist the Templars in hunting down Roy. If Roy didn't have such hatred,
Report, that’s weird!
Others are gentlemen and it is never too late to take revenge after ten years, but here, Roy takes revenge from morning to night!
Moreover, everyone knows that this time the Lanlithians and the Solan royal family are competing. In addition to the challenges faced by Roy, Wenger's life is also a big bet! Is it the Lanlithians who buy horse bones for thousands of dollars, or Solan?
The royal family serves as a warning. It depends on Wenger’s life or death!
Therefore, regardless of public or private life, Roy will not let Wenger leave Lulian alive. The young master's drooped eyelids, you can tell without looking, are definitely filled with murderous intent!
"Master," Percy took out a letter sealed with fire wax and said to Roy, "This is from Joseph to you."
Roy took the letter.
Ever since he met Joseph in the caravan, Roy had made up an identity for himself as a close subordinate of "Lord the Secret Monk".
Joseph didn't have the slightest doubt about this. In his opinion, the mysterious monk with great supernatural powers was a first-class figure in the world in terms of scheming and means. He was not as good as an adult, let alone a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old?
As for Roy's appearance, Joseph was only pleasantly surprised. What he was happy about was that he didn't expect that he would meet someone from the Secret Monk. What was surprising was that he didn't expect that a young man under the Secret Monk's command would actually be transferred.
The ability of the Red Leaf Knights!
He came with the Red Leaf Knights. Not only did he see with his own eyes how these cold and arrogant knights killed people to rush to the rescue of the caravan, he also saw with his own eyes how Philip, the heir of the Hongye Carré family, protected Roy. This made him have a deep understanding of the secret.
I am even more in awe of the power of the monk.
Later, when Roy handed the Wenger case into his hands, Joseph knew that he owed the secret monk another favor. Although the time was short and there was no time to establish friendship, Joseph was still extremely enthusiastic about Roy.
, his expression even seemed a little flattering.
The two agreed that if Joseph needed to contact the esoteric monk for something, Roy could convey it to him. As long as Joseph put the letter under the velvet cushion of the bench in the confession room, and removed all the flower pots on the balcony of his church room.
If you drop it, someone will naturally pick it up.
Since their separation, the two have not had much contact. Until now, Roy got this letter.
Roy tore off the wax, unfolded the parchment paper and read it quickly. As expected, Joseph described the dilemma he was facing now in the letter.
Since being promoted to Bishop of Bronn County, Joseph has become a popular figure around Wallace. Not only has Bronn County been firmly under his control, but he has also become a rival to Western Bishop Saki in the Western Vatican.
Especially after Wallace expressed his dissatisfaction with Saki and others' eagerness to defect to the Langris people, and issued a warning to people with the same ideas throughout Lullian Diocese, many people believed that it might not be long before Joseph
Can replace Sacchi as the new West End bishop!
However, with the arrival of Schilling, things changed.
The defeat of Archduke Adolf made the already chaotic situation in Munich even more volatile. Seeing that Lulian was about to become a scorched earth under the iron heel of the Phillies, even if Wallace was no longer willing to make a choice, he had to think about the future.
.
When Wallace's attitude changed, the unlucky one was naturally Joseph.
To put it bluntly, he is now a dog beside Wallace. When necessary, Wallace will let it bite, and after Wallace and the bitten person reach a compromise, then, this biting dog,
Naturally, it is the best choice to please the people of Langris.
Moreover, even if Wallace misses the old days to protect Joseph, and Saki and others who are the first to flatter Lanlith and Vatican, they will not let him go.
Joseph knew very well that his situation had reached an extremely dangerous point. During this period, he had trouble sleeping and eating.
Fortunately, Wallace seems to be hesitant.
This cunning Archbishop Lullian will not easily choose sides until the last moment. After all, no matter how big the ship of the Langris people is, it will not be his turn to take the helm. Once you give up the previous foundation, you can never go back.
It's his head. He doesn't want to become the second Wenger.
Therefore, the day before yesterday, Wallace sent someone to inform Joseph to come to Munich. At the last moment of making a decision, he wanted to see his new "loyal dog" and listen to his opinion.
This is Joseph's only chance.
Roy read the letter and thought for a while. If Wallace is really as hesitant as Joseph said, things may turn around. After all, Wallace cannot completely make the decision regarding Wenger. The ruler here is
Archduke Adolf.
Even if Archduke Adolf is not here, the people of Lanlis cannot get around General Fano!
In an instant, Roy had countless thoughts in his mind. Looking at the time on the letter, he discovered that the time Joseph and Wallace met was this morning. There were less than six prayer hours from now.
According to the arrangement in the letter, Joseph should have arrived in Munich last night and stayed at the Sapphire Hotel in the west of the city.
"Let's go," Roy stood up, "call the master, let's go see the poor Joseph County Bishop. He must be homeless now, waiting for us to support him."
"Okay!" Kalenich and Percy looked at each other and smiled. Things were getting more and more interesting.
