Chapter 72: The Border of Cardero Province - Forming a Defense Force
In addition, the remaining personnel were organized into a defense force and were responsible for the border defense of the province of Cadero during the period when the Knights went to support the defense lines of the three provinces of Renza-Iste-Dani.
To Verin's surprise, Alcott, Edgar and Brian actually stayed behind and did not follow the knights to support them, thus giving up this opportunity to obtain military exploits.
Therefore, although there are still more than 26,000 people in the huge camp, the best part has been taken away.
"Weilin, let's start." Flora said to Weilin who was standing aside.
Everyone in the command camp became quiet, and their eyes focused on Weilin.
"Everyone, the Defense Force currently has thirty-six silver-level professionals, 373 bronze-level professionals, about 18,000 apprentices, and the remaining 8,000 are all civilians and support staff."
“In terms of food, it’s enough for us to eat for more than a year.”
"In terms of weapons and equipment, it is enough to sustain the defense force for two high-intensity battles."
"Report completed."
Seeing Weilin sitting back down, Flora knocked on the table and asked, "Now, tell me your opinions. How to defend this border?"
Alcott, as the oldest person in the camp, stood up and spoke first.
"In my opinion, the focus is to clear a border area, and then build fortifications in these areas for defense. If an accident occurs, the nearest troops will rush to rescue."
"I agree."
"I agree."
"I agree too."
There is no doubt that the two-dimensional nobles in the camp and the only pioneer knight directly expressed their attitude, making the other silver knights in the camp look at each other.
Except for Flora's men, the other fourteen Silver Knights were all left by other nobles to lead the army, but without noble status or military positions, they directly lost their right to speak.
Within the camp, it can be roughly divided into three parties.
Flora and her ten silver knights and one low-level silver priest serve as the kingdom's military force and are the representatives of the knights.
Alcott and other three nobles and Verin, the pioneer knight, belong to the Aix family, so they are naturally one faction, with ten silver knights.
Finally, the fourteen silver knights from the fourteen noble families were forced to stay and lead the army. They were forced to stay together and fight for the right to speak.
After three full minutes, Flora did not speak out her position. The representatives of the fourteen noble families could only remain silent, all lowering their heads to admire the patterns on the carpet.
Without the status of aristocrat or military, he is just an ordinary knight, which makes them really unable to be tough.
After an unknown amount of time, Flora looked at Alcott and nodded, then stood up and announced: "My full name is Flora Akers, and I am the current commander of the defense forces. For the sake of the safety of the province, I hope you will make a clear choice. , otherwise don’t blame me for being cruel.”
Infighting, which Flora hated.
The fourteen silver knights looked at each other, and they all knew in their hearts that they could either choose to obey the commander's arrangements and complete the tasks assigned to them responsibly, or they would be killed by the other party for a reason. Afterwards, their lords would not dare to say anything unless they wanted to. Enemies of the Ax family.
The next moment, all fourteen people stood up and saluted Flora: "In the name of the goddess of life, we swear that before the end of the military operation and the lord has not returned, we will unconditionally obey the commander's orders."
"Okay, since we are unanimous, let's start the combat meeting directly and make the next arrangements."
"Get the map."
The two silver knights standing behind Flora received the order and immediately laid out a detailed map of the Cardro Province and part of the surrounding area on the carpet.
"Alcott, you deploy."
"Yes, sir."
Alcott took the map stick from Flora's hand, tapped various locations on the map, and began to deploy: "There are five locations outside the border that need to be cleared up."
"Sir, does the bottom area, which is close to the border of Sepuru Province, also need to be cleaned up?" A silver knight from the Fourteenth Noble Faction asked directly.
Wei Lin looked at the place the other party mentioned, and it turned out to be the area directly in front of the Lake of Praying Stars.
Remembering that no one had a meeting to discuss it last night, Weilin originally wanted the elders to cancel this area so that he could handle it.
Unexpectedly, Flora said, "If you stay to help aunt, I must give you some compensation. It's decided like this, otherwise I'll beat you."
"Why, you have an opinion." Flora stared at the Silver Knight who spoke, with no hint of warning.
"Sir, he has a convulsion in his head, and we don't have any objections." A leader of the Fourteenth Nobles Faction's Silver Knight stood up in a hurry and said, while glaring hard at the Silver Knight who just spoke.
"In this case, the first stage is to clean up these five areas, and the second stage is to build a stronghold for defense." Seeing that the incident subsided, Alcott continued.
Then, personnel are assigned to perform tasks.
Alcott, Edgar, Brian and Flora were each responsible for an area, and the other area was given to a leading knight of the Fourteenth Noble Faction.
Under Flora's tough attitude, the army responsible for cleaning up the Yellowstone area of the Gray Mansions Wasteland where the Lake of Prayer Stars is located has the largest number of troops, reaching more than 8,000 people. At the same time, Flora personally commanded them.
Not surprisingly, Verin was assigned to Flora's command.
After the meeting, the troops began to reorganize.
In order to achieve the goal of controlling the army, Flora, Alcott, Edgar and Brian only need ordinary soldiers and low-level officers, and do not need middle and high-level officers, so as not to affect the command efficiency.
Under Flora's tough attitude, the fourteen noble factions can only choose to accept.
At night, in a remote tent in the camp, the silver knights of the fourteen noble factions gathered here during the day.
"Start with me." The leading silver middle-level knight said, "My master left 2,200 people, and His Excellency Flora took away 1,500 people, leaving less than 700 people."
"You are still good." A representative of the baron said dejectedly, "My master left 800 people, and 700 people were directly taken away, leaving less than 100 people."
"I am about the same, 80% of the soldiers were taken away for reorganization, leaving me with only 200 people."
One after another, the officers of other noble factions reported their situations.
The leading silver mid-level knight counted and found that the total number of troops in the hands of the fourteen people was only 6,000, and a total of 13,000 people were withdrawn.
"Damn, that damn woman, if it weren't for..."
"Shut up, if you want to die, don't take us with you."
The silver low-level knight who talked back during the day couldn't help but complain, but was interrupted forcefully. Even the other silver knights kept their distance from him and stared at him coldly.
