Chapter 117 Give Them A Lesson

  "What do you think we should do", this is a tone of discussion, an equal tone, not the attitude of a noble to a knight.

  However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Fiona's words have clearly shown her attitude. In the face of the strong agent's statement, the generals can only pretend to listen respectfully on the surface, even if they are not convinced in their hearts.

  Glancing at the proud-looking soldiers, Midei smiled slightly and took over the conversation.

  "It's simple, since it's war, of course it's better to fight on someone else's turf. Hamilton's Golden Lion is more suited for invasion rather than defense." He said with a glib tone, this duet he and Feena had sung many times before, "Currently, I think the first step is to drive Seth's people out of our territory as quickly as possible."

  Isn't this nonsense?

  Can't you talk without being so vague?

  Is this guy really a genius commander?

  The generals who pricked up their ears to listen carefully began to curse in their hearts. In an instant, many generals had already confirmed Mi Di's identity as a soft and weak white-faced man.

  "What are your views?" Fiona finally turned slowly to the generals who had been building up their momentum.

  The generals have been waiting for this moment.

  The first one, a fully armed white-haired man, the commander of the Golden Branch Army, Viscount Clark Hamilton, a heavy knight with a level as high as 48, stepped forward.

  He first gave a standard knight's salute to the proxy lord of the house, then coldly glanced at Middy before saying: "At the moment when we learned that the enemy had invaded, the Golden Branch Army had already begun to mobilize and informed all local defense troops. Currently, as long as Lady Feena gives the order, two million elite troops can be deployed to the battlefield immediately. At the same time, 30,000 local troops will also gather on the march, for a total of 55,000 troops."

  This Viscount Clark is indeed worthy of being the commander of Bellmare's strongest legion. The entire report was well-organized and concise, combined with the demonstration on the magic sandbox, in just over ten minutes, he clearly presented the entire situation.

  Finally, Clark concluded with a confident tone: "One week, just one week's time, the 20,000 elite of the Golden Branch Army will be able to arrive at Liushui County in perfect condition and then kill all of Seth's rabbits without leaving any residue."

  For this powerful and confident ending, the generals all cheered in their hearts.

  This is the true style of a military man, much more practical than Midea's empty declaration. Every detail was done to perfection and actually executed.

  At this point, in comparison, even if it's Feena, the deputy head of the household, there's no reason to let that young whippersnapper come over and boss people around.

  "How?" Fiona didn't give a definite answer, but instead turned back to Middy once again.

  "It's too slow. Give me a cavalry brigade and I'll take down Linshui County within two days." Mei Di said succinctly.

  In an instant, the grand hall fell silent, and the generals thought they had misheard. But when they realized it was not a hallucination but reality, it immediately caused a commotion.

  Two days time, cavalry formation, siege warfare.

  Every word is unbelievable, in the eyes of these military-savvy generals, this is completely absurd. This little white face is simply a classic example of seeking to shock and amaze people with his words.

  It's just that since this so-called nonsense has the backing of a proxy head of household, it will definitely be carried out even if all the generals, including General Clark of the Golden Branch Army, oppose it. After all, at the end of the day, the Golden Branch Army is Fiona's property, not the generals'. Taking out a cavalry unit is no big deal and won't shake the foundations of the Hamilton family, so it can't cause too much conflict over interests.

  In fact, Feina didn't waste any words and only used one sentence to shut up all the generals.

  "At first, Midie and I raided Yorkshire with 300 people, where the Red Flame Army had a garrison of 10,000. We succeeded in the end, so it shouldn't be a problem this time either." Fiona said.

  This is a real achievement, and it happens to hit the weakness of the generals who have been living in peace for nearly ten years. After opposing for half a day, their only choice was to shut up.

  However, all the generals couldn't help but look forward to this so-called "genius commander" making a big blunder and falling flat on his face.

  Two days later, a cavalry unit appeared quietly in the hills near Liushui County.

  This cavalry corps, detached from the Golden Lance Army, drew on many different types of troops, including three hundred heavy cavalry, one thousand light cavalry, five hundred mounted archers, and two hundred scouts, all combined into a force of two thousand horsemen.

  In addition to this, there were nearly fifty adventurers, including Odell, Aileen and Kelvin who had originally served as attendants, as well as those who had been urgently dispatched from the Eagle's Nest.

  Cavalry adventurers and pure cavalrymen together formed Midy's special mixed unit.

  Although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs. With such a combination, this team has many functions from reconnaissance to field battles and then to impact enemy arrays.

  However, cavalry is ultimately cavalry, and siege warfare is not within their scope of combat. And the adventurers, apparently are not very familiar with war itself.

  It's not just that, Liushui County is not an ordinary county town, but a port-type county town adjacent to the canal. The Daimu River, which is over 100 meters wide, is its natural barrier. Moreover, this canal not only makes Liushui County only need three sides of city walls, but also becomes a convenient channel for transporting supplies.

  The vast canal is impossible to block, and the possibility of artificial flooding is almost zero. On the contrary, as long as the dock is grasped, transporting various materials becomes easy and effortless.

  This is also the most important reason why the Sess family chose this place as their first point of attack.

  Although Liushui County is not a solidly defended castle, it is the most suitable as a springboard for attack and a channel for transporting supplies.

  The Hamilton family's flag with three golden lions has long since fallen, replaced by a black background with pale flames burning on it.

  The two million elite troops of the Seth family's Black Flame Legion are stationed here.

  This is Mide's enemy now.

  It was night, and the two-thousand-strong special mixed unit composed of various cavalrymen and adventurers gathered quietly on the east bank of the Daim River under the command of their newly appointed commander.

  Eastward, it is the only side of the Flowing Water County that does not have a city wall set up, because there is the turbulent and extremely deep Daim River as a natural barrier.

  Heavy clouds floated in the sky, blocking out the last ray of moonlight. In the stillness like water, the stagnant darkness was only broken by the sound of rushing river water drifting through the cold and quiet night air.

  Two thousand well-trained war horses were all fed dumb cakes beforehand. In the next eight hours, they couldn't even make a snorting sound, let alone neighing. The hard hooves were also carefully wrapped in thick velvet, walking as silently as a leopard's paw.

  And all the cavalrymen wore thick, non-reflective black cloaks, as if they had merged into the darkness.

  Although the riverside county of Liushui was full of watchtowers, with a sentry post every three paces and a beacon tower every five paces, they had not discovered this group of hidden enemies lurking in the shadows on the opposite bank of the River Dai.

  Medi's left arm's demonic energy slightly trembled, and under the fluctuation of magic power, a silent and soundless command was formed.

  Dozens of adventurers left the queue at the same time. They carefully controlled the speed of their mounts, slowly galloping over the riverbank and stepping into the turbulent water flow until the water reached the horse's legs before stopping.

  These adventurers were of all different levels, and from their skin color, appearance, attire, they came from all corners of the world. Even their posture on horseback was not the same; some didn't even use a saddle, riding bareback instead.

  But they have one thing in common - all are ice masters.

  As a advanced profession of magician, Ice Master is best at casting ice system magic.

  When dozens of ice mages form a resonant grand magic circle designed by the fog witch, targeting the same target, reciting the same incantation, and casting the same spell, its power is enough to rival nature.

  These ice mages murmured incantations, and faint magical ripples emanated from their bodies, connecting with each other to form a tide of magic. Amidst the mysterious and profound chanting, a cold wind swept forth, silently rustling their black cloaks, as if summoning the icy chill of the northern snow-capped peaks onto this land.

  Above the turbulent river water, a transparent, delicate and weak veil gradually covered it. This veil, although subjected to wave after wave of impact, never broke, but instead, like an evergreen ivy clinging to climb, continued to spread out, stretching towards the other end of the Daimler River.

  Laying out an ice bridge, changing the sky moat into a thoroughfare, this is the first step of Mi Di's battle plan, and also the most crucial step.

  Having a group of ice mages cast ice magic is a very simple idea. Ten years later, it can be said to be common sense in the military.

  However, just after the Great Fire of London, at the beginning of the turbulent years, "professional characteristics" were a blind spot in military affairs.

  At this time, the generals are more concerned with the overall situation and strategy, as the saying goes, "operating thousands of miles away, deciding victory in the tent." The composition of their army is also mainly composed of heavy knights, great swordsmen, elemental mages with fierce firepower, roaming gunners, and gunners, all of whom are ordinary people who can handle these professions, rather than adventurers born for various purposes. In terms of tactics, it naturally appears rigid and conventional.

  But for Midee, who had the experience of the previous life and had commanded a united army composed of tens of thousands of adventurers, it was truly the king's way to refine tactics down to each profession.

  A hundred-man squad of elemental mages and a hundred-man squad of ice mages have completely different tactics. Even if there are two squads of ice mages with the same abilities, if the adventurers' talents are different, their tactics will also be vastly different.

  Make full use of every profession and give play to the innate characteristics of each profession. This is the direction for the military development of the Arad continent.

  While most generals were still bound by traditional tactics, Middy was already at the forefront.

  And now, he will rely on the extraordinary vision brought by rebirth to give a good lesson to the generals of the Golden Branch Army, telling them what is truly an all-out war that brings out the full strength of the army.
