#1121 - Frontline situation
“However, during this small-scale war, some Black-Asia Orcs, when facing certain death, would have a magical beast phantom appear on their bodies, saving their lives.”
“This is the first occurrence of such a situation since the fifteen small-scale battles. According to Marshal Lucig of the Eleventh Legion, a large-scale offensive by the Black-Asia Orcs is not far off.”
“Sources there reveal that Marshal Lucig is in discussion with Marshal Seminta of the Twelfth Legion, considering a proactive strike, pushing the battle lines further into the territory of the Kolls United Kingdom, leaving enough strategic space.”
Hearing this, Velen looked at the map floating above the bonfire and asked, “How many legions are deployed along the border of the Belfast Kingdom, and what is the strength of these legions?”
Upon hearing this, Plagorn stepped forward and said, “Marshal, allow me to answer this question.”
Seeing this, Velen signaled for him to speak.
“Along the border of the Belfast Kingdom, there are four legions: the Seventh Legion stationed in the Tanla Province, the Eleventh Legion in the Guaze Province, the Twelfth Legion in the Lede Province, and the Fifteenth Legion in the Mbowa Province.”
As Plagorn spoke, he used battle qi to condense illusory chess pieces, placing them within the border provinces of the Belfast Kingdom.
“The Seventh Legion is formed from five ordinary legions, one knight order, and two mage legions of the Belfast Kingdom, led by Yalin Olon Belfast, the younger brother of King Kiralendi Belfast of the Belfast Kingdom. It has a total force of approximately 280,000, with a combat strength rating of above average.”
“The Eleventh Legion has a more complex origin, formed from two ordinary legions, two knight orders, and one mage legion of the Belfast Kingdom, supplemented by two legions from the Principality of Liberwe. These seven legions were combined, with Marquis Lucig of the Belfast Kingdom serving as the legion marshal. It has a total force of approximately 300,000, with a combat strength rating of below average.”
“The Twelfth Legion…”
Under the explanation of the White Mist Province Council Speaker, Velen gained a basic understanding of the general situation of the four legions at the forefront.
“Knight Leonas, what is the rating of the Ninth Legion by the Human Coalition Headquarters?”
Hearing this, Leonas looked up at Velen and replied, “Upper-middle.”
“Which legions have a rating of upper-upper?” Velen continued to ask.
“The First Legion and the Sixth Legion,” Leonas replied.
In the following time, under the narration of the three, Velen constantly familiarized himself with various legion affairs, including logistical supplies, the source of troops, and the personalities and strengths of the legion commanders and deputy legion commanders.
As dawn broke, Velen opened the demiplane passage and returned to the floating fleet port.
After arriving at the central camp area, Velen released the guard from the demiplane to take over the defense of the area, then plunged into the camp tent, starting to read various materials to understand the composition of the Ninth Legion in more detail.
As for Shemia and Kyle, they began to take office.
Three days later, Velen put down the last document, leaned back, lay on the blanket, looked at the top of the camp tent, and stared blankly, the complex information floating in his mind one by one.
“I don't understand the combat methods of the Gryphon Knight Order, the Wyvern Knight Order, and the Floating Fleet. It is better to directly transfer the command to avoid unnecessary losses due to my lack of expertise.”
“The Twenty-seventh Legion is an assault legion, and it is very likely to be transferred away during the war. I will not use it unless necessary, and conserve its strength to exert its greatest value.”
“Kyle will serve as the commander of the Twenty-fifth Legion. With his ability, he will soon be able to control the entire legion. Just issue military orders directly, without too much worry.”
“As for the Twenty-sixth Legion, I must meet with Commander Gadonfu as soon as possible. It is always somewhat one-sided to understand him only through the narratives of Leonas and the information seen in the materials.”
“And the Knight Order, the decisive force in small-scale wars, I have to meet these knights.”
“In addition, I have to take the time to secretly visit Yalin Olon Belfast, the legion marshal of the Seventh Legion, and ask him to take care of Krel.”
Emptying his brain, Velen arranged the things to be dealt with next according to their importance and urgency.
“Lord, Marshal Leonas requests an audience.”
Hearing the voice from outside the camp tent, Velen sat up and said, “Please come in.”
“Yes.”
As the voice fell, the tent curtain was lifted, Leonas entered the camp tent, came to Velen, glanced at the dozens of piles of files several meters high, bowed and saluted respectfully, saying, “Eternal Dawn Knight, good evening.”
Velen waved his hand to signal him to dispense with the formalities, and then went straight to the point: “Knight Leonas, are there any matters that need my attention?”
Leonas straightened up and slowly said, “Eternal Dawn Knight, I have come to see you this time for a private matter.”
“Private matter?”
Hearing this, Velen looked puzzled.
If he remembered correctly, he had only met the other party once, and including today, it was only the second time. Their relationship was only limited to knowing each other's names and positions, and there seemed to be no friendship.
“Lord Velen, please allow me to call you that.”
“Feel free to call me whatever you like in private, even Velen is fine.” Velen waved his hand to summon a blanket, sent it behind the other party, and signaled him to sit down.
Seeing this, Leonas sat down cross-legged, took out a crystal ball from the space preparation, sent it to Velen, and said, “Lord Velen, entrusted by my brother Silester, he asked me to give this to you when I see you.”
“Silester?”
Velen reached out to catch the crystal ball, looked up at Leonas, and seemed to understand something.
“Has he embarked on that path?”
Hearing this, Leonas nodded and said, “A year ago, under the gaze of our God, Silester embarked on the trial path of the Dawn Paladin.”
“Before leaving, he gave me this, asking me to personally deliver it to you, but due to the many affairs, I have not been able to visit Xingqi Territory to see you.”
Velen thanked him and said, “Knight Leonas, thank you.”
After sending away Knight Leonas, Velen looked at the crystal ball in his hand, feeling that Silester had not only left a message for himself, but must have also left some words for Kyle.
“Someone.”
The two low-level Silver Knights guarding outside the camp tent heard the words, entered the camp tent, knelt on one knee, bowed their heads and saluted, waiting for instructions.
“Go and invite Kyle.”
“Yes, Lord.”
The two knights replied, and then prepared to get up and leave, Velen once again instructed: “From now on in the army, call me Marshal.”
“Yes, Marshal.”
The two responded, then got up and left.
