Chapter 98: Army mobilization

Tomorrow is about to start the battle. Locke wipes his long sword boringly. Although the notice has not come down yet, the atmosphere in the camp has obviously changed a lot.

Every veteran can feel the dullness of the coming rain, this is the rhythm of the war.

The New Year’s party two days ago gave Locke a feeling of not so good. He went to find out that the nobles he attended were all big men above the Viscount. Subordinate nobles such as Baron Kedoch and Cavalier Will are not among the invitations.

Well, when Locke went, he was sitting in the corner and eating. The big people around him didn't know any of them, and they didn't want to mess with them.

As for the reason, I don’t know whether it is the vulgar behavior, the civilian spirit in Locke’s bones, and the atmosphere of this noble party.

Their George Corps commander also came to this party. Locke wanted to say hello. After all, the army commander was not thin to himself, but the George Corps commander just came out and told a few big men. A few words left.

Locke, who had just seen the only acquaintance, was embarrassed. According to Locke's conjecture, it should be that the war is about to start. The commander of the George Corps, as the head of the regiment, must always stay in the Ministry of Defense to pay attention to the situation.

The facts are not far from what Locke guessed. Not only the commander of the George Corps, but also dozens of commanders and deputy commanders of the Forstan military, did not attend the dinner,

As for another person whom Locke knew, he gave him an unexpected fortune, Viscount Myerson, who was an amazing and well-recognized big man, but Locke did not see him.

Except for Princess Angelina who came over to stay with him for a while, Locke was either eating or resting.

Well, for a while, it was seen as a monkey by other nobles.

Princess Angelina's coming attracted the attention of a large number of other nobles. Everyone was curious about the Rock who appeared here.

It was also after that day that everyone in the battalion, including the new recruits, knew that Locke was about to fly to Huang Tengda. The baron could not attend the party, but Locke went.

This caused Locke to have some troubles. The gun shot the first bird. Locke, who has been low-key and steady, didn't want to be the first bird.

Another thing is that since ‘eat’ Grace, this woman’s feelings for Locke have changed a lot, no longer as cold as before, there is always a gap. Yesterday, I also took care of Locke's life with Xia Qian.

Because of the impending war, Locke began to abstain from self-restraint. He didn't want to be on the battlefield when he was a soft-footed shrimp. So Grace hasn't touched since that day.

This woman full of nobility, Locke always has an urge to blaspheme.

He promised Grace something, and of course did not forget it. Grace was very smart and did not mention it, because she already knew Locke’s character and would do her best to speak it out. She believed that the man she committed to would not let him down. .

The long sword in his hand, after wiping, flashed a weak bright yellow light, which is a proof that there is a mixture of bright yellow mines.

Locke likes this set of equipment more and more. He tried it yesterday. The long sword in his hand can easily penetrate two centimeters of iron. As for the armor, it has not been deformed under the powerful force of Hans, a strong man.

At the dinner of the baron's camp in the afternoon, the baron really put forward an order to launch the attack tomorrow. This was the order just issued by the military department in the morning, and everyone was mentally prepared.

Their battalion's combat mission was on the third day, with the remaining three brigades of the Second Corps, attacking the west gate of Otis.

Perhaps some people with bad brains will be curious that the Ministry of Military Affairs will give them such a very low-risk mission. At the moment when the mission was promulgated, most of the squadron leaders who ate in the camp tents "brushed" and turned Looked at Locke. Including Baron Kedoch and Knight Cavalier.

Sure enough, the baron finally added, "This seems to be the order that Princess Angelina personally gave to the George Corps."

Everyone was envious or looked at Locke strangely. Locke has seen this kind of look much in the past two days. Maybe he was a little uncomfortable at first, but by now, it doesn't matter how long he has practiced. Still drinking his broth calmly, ignoring the eyes of others.

This temperament, this calmness, made Baron Keddoch all have the illusion that Locke was a well-established big man.

People who are near Zhu Zhechi and those who are near Mohei are black. Since Locke came back, he has been in contact with those big men. Although they all sit far away and watch them chatting there, invisible, Locke also learned a lot of behaviors among nobles. This should also mean Angelina.

As a princess, Angelina, if Locke wants to combine with her in the future, he must at least have the aristocratic demeanor to throw away the civilian rustic.

As for why Angelina could order their Second Corps to do such a thing, the reason Angelina gave was to allow the Second Corps to initially guard the magician's unit close to them.

The magician unit led by Angelina is right in the middle of the barracks. Locke’s group and several other groups, the task of the first three days, is to guard the northwest corner of the magician unit.

Everyone knows that the most tragic thing about the war is the few days at the beginning. Angelina’s order perfectly helped Locke to miss this meat grinder moment.

The clever Princess Angelina, dubbed by her mentor and elders, is a handy thing that indirectly benefits Locke.

In the early morning of the next day, the entire joint barracks started to move, like a creeping beast that raised its head and showed its sharp teeth.

Baron Keddoch gathered his troops early and led them to the designated position. The magician force has not yet arrived, they need to stand firm.

The nearby Baron Kashir troops are not so lucky, and their task is particularly difficult, it is said that they will participate in the siege in the afternoon. The siege on the first day is definitely not that simple. Just looking at the defensive equipment built on the walls of the city, you know that Otis City, the last strong city of Charlotte, is not that easy to fight.

If the joint barracks are in the shape of a large meniscus, under the mobilization of the Forstan army, there are non-stop soldiers moving closer to both sides to completely surround the city of Otis into an ellipse.

Surrounded by the meniscus before, on one side there were two cavalry soldiers waiting, this time they were all infantry.

The cavalry is not good at siege, and replaced by infantry, it can be seen that the Forstan military is planning to start directly.

In the morning Locke only stuffed two cakes in his arms and led the cavalry squadron forward with the battalion. Xia Qian, Grace and others were taken care of by Henry, a businessman he asked. Of course, I did not forget the things that promised Grace. When Locke planned to take their siege on the third day, think of a way.

Grace and Xia Qian, where they are now, are behind the Eagles, not far from the front line. It will not be difficult to pick up Grace.

A line of soldiers drove neatly forward.

Locke had participated in many battles before, but such large-scale siege battles were rare, and they were only seen in the strategy battle of Peters at the beginning of the war.

At that time, Locke, a servant, was tasked with transporting supplies and carrying dead bodies every day.

The Forstan military is still very concerned about the recruits who have just joined the army and will not throw them directly to the front as cannon fodder.

At this time, once again contacting war and standing at a higher angle, Locke discovered that war is actually an art.

Folstein’s army commander, like an artist, used every formation as a splash of ink, just right in the corner of the entire picture.

Locke used to only know to listen to orders to fight, and suddenly calmed down to watch the movement of other troops. Locke seemed to have learned something.

The Forstin Army of 100,000 people just surrounded the city of Odis in just half a morning.

In Forster's Chinese military account, Marquess Marmen is discussing siege with his old partner Marquis Sandro.

"Which army do you plan to get first?" asked the Marquis of Sandro dressed in uniform.

The Marquis de Marmen still looked like a little old man in military uniform. He looked up at Marquis de Sandra and said, "After being tossed by Angelina, I plan to let the Third Corps stand out."

"Oh?" Marquis Sandro was obviously surprised by Marquis Mamen's proposal, raised his left eye, and asked strangely, "Aren't you afraid of those nobles making trouble?"

The Marquis de Mamen looked indifferent. "Just make trouble, it should be shuffled anyway after the war."

The Marquis of Sande said nothing.

The first siege battle was undoubtedly the most difficult and the most casualty. The two marquis discussed before actually put the second corps on top, because the second corps has good strength, and the siege process may have surprises. And it was just a "dry son", and the loss was great, and the two marquises were not distressed.

However, because Princess Angelina asked them to "nonsense" some time ago, and abruptly transferred a third of the strength of the Second Corps, Marquis Mamen had to consider the Third Corps.

The overall strength of the Third Corps is almost the same as that of the newly constructed Fourth Corps. However, because of the nobles they belong to, they do not listen to the announcement, but they are much weaker than the Fourth Corps.

This decision of Marquis Mamen can be predicted that the first batch of private aristocrats sent to the siege will definitely suffer heavy losses.

The task of siege was decided in the high level before the New Year. The eagle army led by Marquis Marmen and Marquis Sandro, attacked the west and north gates of Otis city, and the lion corps by Prince Kensell , Offensive and defensive South Gate and East Gate are more rigorous.

Unlike outside the city of Otis, the Foster army was mobilized in an orderly manner, and the city has become a mess. It was the Charlotte defender on the city gate who was frightened to see the Folstein soldiers several times as many marching towards them.

Moreover, the news that the Forstan army was about to attack, somehow reached the ears of ordinary residents in the city, countless robbers and looting incidents, and even many arson in the city. Ordinary citizens who have been suppressed by death for a long time become hysterical at the last moment of life.

This also has nothing to do with the horrible speech of the senior Charallo. In the eyes of the Charallow civilians in the city of Otis, the Forstan soldiers are the symbols of demons and jackals. They are cruel and inhuman, and will slaughter all the Charleans. Among them, the Ellis City massacre that occurred some time ago also gave the Sherlo the fear of the Forstan soldiers.
