MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 709 : the war will start
The gods stand on the high kingdom of God and look down, and the main continent is like a sand table for a strategy game.
Following the order of the empire, the half of the continent on the east side completely boiled and became active.
With banners flying, one army after another marched on the road, and gradually gathered in the area north of the Yelin River in the Silver Moon Kingdom.
On weekdays, hundreds of noble coats of arms, which are rarely seen by the public, are now inserted in this land.
Greedy sharks are always ready to carve up the giant whales that are about to fall.
In the palace, Simon summoned Graton alone: "From the map, the Yelin River cannot stop the enemies from the direction of the Principality of Love, so the land battlefield will definitely be divided into two fronts.
On the first front, the first and second armies relied on Ye Linhe to fight against the main force of the empire. On the second front, the three armies faced off against the coalition forces in the direction of the Principality of Love.
I want to appoint you as the commander in chief of the first front, what do you think about this. "
The Yelin River is a branch of an inland river. It originated from the empire. The main and tributaries passed through many countries. When passing through the Silver Moon Kingdom, it divided two-thirds of the Upper Crescent County and finally flowed into the sea.
The undivided part of Upper Crescent County still borders the Duchy of Love on the east side.
Although the Yelin River line of defense can stop enemies from the north, the direction of the Principality of Love is not safe to defend, so they can only divide two battlefields.
But fortunately, the main force of the enemy is the imperial army from the north, the coalition forces of various countries in the direction of the Principality of Love, which is not a fear for the Silver Moon Kingdom.
Graton knew in his heart that this was just a notice, and the king wasn't asking for his opinion, but he still couldn't help asking: "Who is the commander-in-chief of the second line of defense?"
Simon replied blankly: "The second line of defense will be commanded by Gasepe's great-grandfather."
Graton frowned: "What is Legion Commander Harris doing?"
As the supreme military officer of the new army, Harris should have been in charge of commanding the main force, but now let alone the first front, he doesn't even have a role in the second front.
No matter how you look at it, it's weird, right?
Simon was silent for a moment: "Harris is training the alternate legion. In this war with the Empire, the alternate legion is responsible for maintaining the stability of the kingdom."
The Silvermoon Kingdom only roughly quelled the lord's rebellion, and many rebels were broken into pieces, lurking in remote and rugged areas waiting for an opportunity.
And this war with the empire is the good opportunity they have been looking for for a long time!
Once the war breaks out completely, these scattered rebels will regroup under the call of some people to rebel and capture the Silver Moon Kingdom from within, so they have to guard against it.
Graton was silent for a long time: "So, the new legion is an abandoned child!"
Simon's body froze, and he looked at him with a complex expression: "You are very smart, and you can always see the essence of things, which is why I have high hopes for you."
Yes, the New Legion...is an outcast!
This is actually not difficult to understand. The size of the empire is huge, and the current Silver Moon Kingdom is absolutely unable to compete with it.
Therefore, the only way to hurt the empire is by sacrificing the newly formed legion, making the empire fearful, in exchange for the time for the Silver Moon Kingdom to develop.
And the alternate legion is the silver moon kingdom's bargaining chip and future fire after the empire is hurt, or feared.
To use an inappropriate analogy, the empire is a giant dragon, and now the lizard in the Silver Moon Kingdom is unhappy, so it sent a lion to fight.
As a result, the Silver Moon Kingdom sent a wolf to kill the lion.
Although the wolf that killed the lion may have been scarred and even died with the lion, the fighting power it showed has reached the point where it can bite a dragon.
The dragon sensed the threat and wanted to shoot the lizard to death, but then, the Silver Moon Kingdom sent another dog that looked very similar to the wolf.
This dog that looks like a wolf, how do you know whether it is a wolf or a dog? It is a dog, and the dragon can certainly slap it to death.
But what if it's a wolf? Still a wolf that can bite a dragon!
It is true that the Empire is a giant dragon, but his main opponent, the Orc King's Court, is also a giant dragon.
At this moment in the main continent, the two giant dragons are of similar strength, and if they fight, they will only hurt each other. Therefore, they can only stare at each other, ready to deal a fatal blow to each other at any time.
But once the giant dragon named Empire is injured, what will follow will definitely be an all-out war in the royal court of the orcs.
The empire couldn't bear the consequences of defeat, so it could only let the lizard go for the time being. After more than ten years, the empire slowed down, and it wouldn't be too late to clean it up.
Anyway, a lizard is a lizard, and the size of the country is limited by blood. No matter how long the Silver Moon Kingdom grows, it will at most become a large lizard, and it is impossible to grow into a giant dragon.
As for the Silver Moon Kingdom, Simon, the traverser, can break the limitation of the country's size on national power, and transform the lizard into a giant dragon.
But the premise of all this is time!
Therefore, he can only use bluff to make the empire feel that it is not worthwhile to continue attacking the Silver Moon Kingdom, and the benefits are not proportional to the risks, in exchange for the development of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
For this reason, even if everyone in the new legion is sacrificed, they will not hesitate!
The high-ranking officers of the new legion all seem to have the same command ability, but in fact, Graton's command ability is far superior to the others, but he doesn't like to show it very much on weekdays.
But in the end, it was Legion Commander Harris who was picked out alone...
The reasons are also very practical.
Harris has trained a new army and a new army. He has extraordinary talent and experience in training the army, which can allow the Silver Moon Kingdom to quickly reorganize and expand the army after the war.
Correspondingly, Graton's command ability is bottomless, and he can maximize the combat power of the newly formed legion, so he is responsible for hurting the empire in this war.
As for how far this war will go, and whether Graton can survive the battlefield, these are not things he can guarantee.
Graton took a deep breath and suppressed the unreasonable resentment in his heart~www.novelbuddy.com~ He knew that this might be the best choice for King Simon.
As a nobleman of this country, while enjoying a series of preferential treatment, he must make sacrifices for this country.
As the king's confidant and friend, while holding the power, he must also solve the king's worries and problems, even if he dies, he will not hesitate!
So, he has no reason to be angry about it...
Graton knelt down on one knee, stood the long sword in front of him, put on a very standard knight ceremony, and said solemnly: "As long as I am alive, the Yelin River defense line will never be captured. Knight, I will never let down your trust!"
Simon was a little ashamed and didn't dare to accept the knight's gift, so he simply turned around and said, "That's it, from now on, the Yelin River defense line is fully under your command...Take care!"
Graton nodded silently: "You too, take care!"
After speaking, he got up and left.
When Graton was about to walk out of the gate, Simon murmured to him with his back: "Sorry!"
Graton's footsteps paused slightly, and then he continued to move forward with firm eyes.
Eat the king's salary, loyal to the king!
He, Siegel, and Bulder, although they are the great-grandsons of Grand Duke Gaseppe, the royal family Rong En has been exhausted in their generation. If there is no Simon, they are at most no more than one in the Royal Army. A middle-level officer has to run around all day long for a small knight title and guard.
But because they met Simon, they easily won the title and imperial concubine, and even once became a courtier. What is there to be dissatisfied with?
Since Simon dared to bet on the fate of the country on him, then he will definitely repay Simon's expectations!
