Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 645 647. The bottom overcomes the top

 Shared knowledge is a precious thing.

 Just like before the collapse of some empires, everyone seemed to have few troops to speak of. But once the empire truly collapses, a large number of warlords, both familiar and unknown, will spring up on the land, and they can easily recruit a large number of people.

 As if these armies grew out of the ground.

 Menno Kuhorne sneered when faced with this statement.

“Heh, look at your righteous and awe-inspiring look, Sean. Those who don’t know better would think that you have nothing to do with the Merchant Association, and you didn’t serve as a source of slaves for them, who captured tens of thousands of civilians in Sintra?”

 “You can just say it.” Sir Sean narrowed his eyes slightly, showing no emotion or anger.

"I am a dog raised by the Merchant Association. It is because of their operation that I was able to go to the military academy, and then climbed to this position with military merit. I am fortunate to be by your side. But this does not conflict with my loyalty to the empire."

“Therefore, even if you slander the association behind me, I will not give up what I should do.”

Sir Sean seemed to be preparing to do something extremely stressful. He took a deep breath and continued: "I am now applying to deprive Marshal Menno Kuhoun of his command authority in this war on the grounds of fear. enemy, and adopt negative strategies in the war situation."

There was a dead silence as soon as these words came out, and even the movement that had not stopped even during the quarrel stopped.

 Has he lost his mind? Defeating the situation?

Even if Marshal Menno Couhoun is removed from the headquarters, the war situation has irrevocably slipped to "failure". With your prestige, you want to impeach him before the battle?

Except for Menno Kuhorn himself, all the staff officers and commanders, including Fringilla Wego, looked at Shan En as if they had seen a ghost.

But Shane himself was very calm, because he dared to impeach the marshal at this juncture not because of his prestige in the army, but because of his practical interests.

 “Everyone, I’ll just say it straight.”

Shan En's ferocious eyes, like those of a dying wolf, glanced at each of his colleagues.

"The status of the military depends on its deterrence and combat effectiveness. Everyone knows how valuable our invincible reputation is."

"I know that there are people behind everyone, either families or various industry associations like me. This is nothing to be ashamed of. I was promoted by the Slave Merchant Association. I think among you, there are even some who are merchants. The association will always promote talents, right?"

“And we all know that our status as imperial officers gives us a lofty social status, but the real money and enjoyment are prepared for us by the people behind us.”

"The more we perform well and are motivated, the higher we will climb in the army, and the more effective the army will be. The more the empire will attach more importance to the army, and the people behind us will give us more because of this." It’s a great benefit. Because our ‘price’ increases with the army.”

 “Nothing to be ashamed of admitting! This is why the great Imperial Army is unbeatable!”

Shaun opened his arms and said loudly to all his colleagues.

“But what if! What if our army is defeated? Our importance and respect are severely weakened?!”

 Speaking of this, Shan En's tone was low, even sinister.

"I think we are not irreplaceable in the eyes of the people behind us, right? They have helpers in the business world and political circles. These helpers require their long-term 'investment', and their own assets It’s not infinite.”

“In ‘investment’, there are always tendencies and trade-offs. Who should get more? Who should get less?”

"I think we should all have done something dirty to other people who were 'invested' by the same group of people, right? In order to get more 'investment'. Now please think about if the army loses, others will beat up the fallen dog. ? Or extend a helping hand?”    Following Shan En’s words, many staff officers and commanders who originally did not take his proposal to heart began to have strange looks in their eyes.

Fringilla was already standing quietly on the edge, but when she was swept by Shan En's eyes, her face turned pale involuntarily.

 She finally understood what these people meant.

These senior officers of Nilfgaard did not want to give up the social status and luxurious life they enjoyed due to their "invincible army".

 Therefore we must fight and win!

 And who will pay the price?

No one seems to care about this issue.

 “But we can’t win.” Menno Kuhoun, who had never spoken in the face of the enemy, said in a tired tone.

 He looked closely into Sean's eyes.

"The command system is in chaos, and before our command system existed, the array that was originally arranged on dozens of square kilometers of land was also messed up by that demon hunter! An army without arrays fights an army with arrays What is the result? Can you tell me?"

"After I impeach you, I will issue this order alone, and I will bear the consequences alone." Sir Shaun said.

"Besides, it is not necessarily impossible to win. With the early command advantage, the northern army was defeated by us. It is not optimistic how their front line will be restored now. As long as we launch a counterattack, everything will be fine! Nefer! Gad’s army is unbeatable!”

These words seemed to have dispelled all the concerns of the rest of the people present. After all, someone would take the blame for the failure, so why should there be any hesitation?

So in silence, the arms were raised one after another, and the votes of "agree" were expressed with the mouths.

 The power of command is thus transferred reasonably and lawfully.

Shaun's first order was to ask Fringilla to pass on the order to prepare for a counterattack for the last time, and then ask the sorceress to leave immediately.

They are all elites in the army. After realizing that they had been fooled by Lan En in terms of intelligence, they reversed their tactics and immediately raised the suspicion of the warlock.

　　It does not mean that the imperial warlock will inform the enemy, but maybe the warlock will become the beacon for the witcher.

 Fringilla had already turned pale and wanted to run away quickly. The struggle for power within the army and the subjugation of the superiors by words only are another kind of horror that is different from facing the demon hunter's pursuit!

So she lowered her head and accepted the order without saying a word.

 Telepathy carried the message, and she endured the nausea caused by frequent spell casting, and once again opened a short portal to leave.

 Menno Kuhorn's back seemed to be bent in an instant. The commander who could still maintain rationality during Lan En's charge suddenly lost his energy.

 He just stared at Shan En with his bloodshot and red eyes.

"There is no pre-arrangement or wartime command, only a counterattack under an order. You want these 50,000 soldiers to die! These are 50,000 regular troops of the Nilfgaard Empire! They are Nilfgaardians!"

 “For the sake of honor and the dignity of the empire.”

Shaun's tone was simply sacred and tragic, like a patriot who was determined to devote everything and would not hesitate to give up everything.

 “We must keep the Northerners and the world in fear!”
