The Black Knights had stagnated for a day, which was not a good sign for the Empire's army, because it meant that they had to take the lead.
However, at this moment, a piece of exciting news came out.
General Bloan had come out of retirement, and the Black Knights had brought him back to the battlefield. He would become the second general, in charge of the Third Empire's army. Finally, they knew one of the people who held the military power.
The soldiers' morale was greatly boosted. With the leadership of this legendary general, they were much more at ease. They no longer had to worry about any conspiracy to steal the country, because no one was more loyal than General Bloan.
"We can't take down the north this winter, I don't need to remind you of this."
"We must win before the spring, General Bloan."
The Demon King and Bloan stood on both sides, with some staff officers and strategists standing on both sides.
"No, I won't listen to you. This winter, we will liberate some troops. We can't afford the consumption of more than a hundred thousand troops, let them go home. We can also plant some winter crops in the south, those crops can be used for a big battle."
"Don't worry about the food, my logistics team has already transported enough food. If you're worried, you can go and investigate."
Hearing this, Bloan raised his head and looked at the other party. He revealed a troubled expression, then muttered, "Who are you?"
"Focus on the meeting, General Bloan."
The Demon King reminded. Bloan coughed, he could not guess the other party's identity.
The Dragon Boats would not use such a conspicuous method to cut in, and they would not directly send food. After all, any Empire was lacking in food, especially the two big countries. Their armies were still overseas, and they would not waste a grain of rice to interfere with a small country.
"Well, I'm distracted. If there is enough food, then it's worth considering, but I want to remind everyone that the next battle will not be as easy as before." He pointed to the center of the map and drew a circle.
"This is your previous battlefield. The Eagle Regiment has not yet gained a firm foothold here. Their main forces have evacuated here, and there is no way to get reinforcements. They can only loot further, but this still can't stop our army. That's because the cities in the center do not have tall walls, and the defense of the cities is very weak. However, it's different in the north. These three cities are like shields. No matter which city we attack, the Armored Dragon City behind will be able to send troops. Unless we can take down a city within a day, we will have to face more enemies. "
Bloan said with a grave expression.
"Winter is not suitable for marching. Frostbite and typhoid will kill many of our soldiers. I really don't know how a certain count in the north lost these cities, and it happened within a week. What's more, I didn't expect him to actually appear here alive. The world is really full of wonders. "
He said sarcastically.
Count Anzla's face was ashen, and the right side of his face was twitching. That's right, he was also there. After all, he was the Count of the Western Region.
"It was a sneak attack. I was sneak attacked."
He said in a low voice. The others acted as if they didn't hear him and ignored him.
As a count, he felt that this was a great humiliation, and it was indeed so.
"Perhaps we can gather our forces and take down a city."
"Of course, but how many of us will die? They can warm themselves by the fire in the city, hide behind the walls, take turns at night, and return to their comfortable houses. But what about us? The cold wind is blowing from all sides, so we can only stay in a leaky tent and huddle together to keep warm. "
General Bloan said.
"Then we can divide our forces into three and attack at the same time. As long as we use two feints to deceive their troops, we can concentrate our main force to attack the weak points."
"If they don't have enough troops, they won't send reinforcements at all. The enemy isn't a fool, they won't do as you say."
He said mercilessly to one of the staff officers.
Everyone had great respect for this old man, but his attitude was very obvious and somewhat unacceptable. He repeatedly denied the plans put forward by the staff officers, and the Black Knight just watched coldly from the side.
Other than him, everyone else present was a soldier of the Kalis Empire. He was waiting for an opportunity. For him, Bloan did a good job.
"We need a breakthrough."
He suddenly said.
"Yes, Great General, we need it very much. It seems that you have a brilliant plan."
Bloan said in a sarcastic tone.
"I think that the previous suggestions have some merit. We shouldn't cut off the possibility of these plans like this." He said what was in the minds of the staff officers. As young soldiers, they wanted to make contributions and climb up the ranks, not be denied by a highly respected person. After receiving the support of the Black Knight, their vigilance was lowered a lot.
"That's all for today. This winter is still long."
Bloan sighed. He sulked and left the tent alone.
…
"Damn old man, he didn't stand up when we needed him the most. Instead, he came out at this time to take advantage of us. What an old turtle."
Count Anzla returned to his small house and sat with his three daughters and two wives, enjoying a "simple" dinner.
"Who are you talking about, father?"
Ladis asked curiously. After all, their father was so angry that his eyebrows were crooked.
"Who else? Of course, it's Bloan."
"Oh, the general from the previous era, he's not dead yet."
"He's about two hundred years old."
"Don't be silly, Ladis. The lifespan of a person is only about a hundred years. He's not even a hundred years old this year, but he's about to die of old age."
Caryl said.
"Who's silly? I said that on purpose. Can't you see that? Pig brain."
"You're the pig brain. Who would say that to a normal person?"
"You're saying that I'm not normal?"
"Enough! Stop arguing. It's annoying to argue all day long. "
The count scolded. He was very unhappy today. He thought that he could lead the army, even if it was only a few thousand people, at least he could take some credit. But Bloan appeared. He led all the imperial soldiers and said to him: A person who lost four cities in a row is not qualified to lead an army.
By the way, the original words were that he was not qualified to live in this world.
"That old thing, his old thinking has already been eliminated. Moreover, he's already so old, he might even freeze to death on the road."
"Yes, father. I don't know why the Black Knight asked him to come."
Ladis agreed.
"Of course it's because of the imperial soldiers. No matter what, he was a nobody before. Before he proved his bloodline, no one would really obey him. I should have stood in Bloan's position and helped him lead the soldiers, but … he's too young. He can't control that old man. "
The count patted the table and said.
"Maybe, we can make that Bloan disappear."
At this moment, the youngest daughter Fra suddenly said.
