A bunch of consumables, the fighting power when gathered together is not as good as when separated.
Rand even felt that if they gathered together, these people might not be able to beat the small 260 people in the hideout army, because when they gathered together, they would not even know which direction the enemy was in.
Is it too late to pretend to be defeated by a baron and ask the black and brown earl to change the commander now? It feels like this army will collapse at the touch of a button.
It's outrageous.
Before, Rand defeated those provocative nobles in a fight, and there were some nobles who thought they were very good and tried to challenge Rand.
Then they were all severely beaten by Rand, letting them see the mountains and rivers. After assigning them all to the team that was nominally the vanguard but actually the trap camp.
No one dared to directly offend his majesty as a commander.
Some people have even taken the initiative to stand in line, such as the Heyuan Baron in the southwest of the Crescent Moon Territory. He had traded with the Crescent Moon Territory before and bought the specialty of the Crescent Moon Territory, making juice tea bags.
He is also a vassal of the Black and Brown Earl, and is now in the 5th Legion. He did not participate in provocations or onlookers before, but now that he sees that Rand has dealt with the trouble, he came to join him as soon as possible.
But this does not solve the fact that the 5th Legion is a garbage aggregate that will collapse at any time.
"Have you ever fought a legion war before?" Rand sat in the military tent. These 6,000 people did not have a military camp or anything. After being assigned to a place, they stayed there to freeze. Rand has urgently arranged for people to find them a place that can barely block the wind.
Baron Heyuan is a blond man with blond hair and blue eyes. He looks a bit like Baron Huyuan. They are both handsome. Hearing Rand's question, he nodded and said, "I have participated in the garrison in the North before."
"Is the garrison army like this?" Rand was speechless. It seems that those orcs and trolls are really not good. Such an army can't break through.
Baron Heyuan nodded and said, "Yes, but most of the infantry stayed in the castle and only needed to shoot arrows or throw stones."
That is to say, there may not be many people in the entire Frost Moon Kingdom who have experience in large-scale field battles.
From this point of view, the commander of the Green Leaf Marquis who fought with Taner that time was already skilled in military affairs. He led so many people and was able to command them as if they were his own arm, and fought back and forth with Taner.
It is estimated that the man is now facing the same dilemma as Rand.
After Baron Heyuan left, Rand asked Ellie: "Is it the same in the White Kingdom?"
Ellie blinked. She was not worried at all. In her eyes, Rand could always handle all the troubles. Maybe in her world, Rand was the second most versatile person after her sister.
She said playfully, "The White Country only has knights, and has long given up on the worthless army of conscripts."
What should we do? Rand finally understood why the Stag Earl wanted to stay in the cavalry with the Black and Brown Earl instead of choosing the command of the infantry.
Commanding the infantry is a pure job, and it is simply thankless.
Just when Rand was worried about how to command these polymer troops who didn't know the generals and the generals didn't know the soldiers, the people of the God of Struggle were ready to act.
The Fourth Prince's intelligence was quite well-informed. At least the news that the Second Prince and the Third Prince were going to fight was accurately conveyed to the ears of the God of Struggle.
The God of Struggle advocates all conflicts, which of course does not only include large-scale military conflicts, but also small-scale conflicts between villages, which are also within their scope of admiration.
Once these armies set out, the territories of these nobles will inevitably be left unguarded. This is the time for them to stir up civil strife. When these nobles finish fighting, they will find that all the people in their territories have died in the conflict. Isn’t it very interesting?
Chapter 82 Military Management, Toys and Elves
The army set out quickly. Whether in the imagination of the Second Prince or the Third Prince, this civil war will be over this winter, otherwise it will affect the wheat harvest in the spring, which will greatly affect their income.
In the Frost Moon Kingdom, winter wheat and spring wheat are basically mixed. Winter wheat is harvested in spring, and spring wheat is harvested in winter.
In the colder and more northern kingdoms, it is all spring wheat or even oats and rye.
In fact, if the Northern Union had not been exhausted by the endless attacks of the orcs and trolls in the north, the Northern Union would have led its army south to rob the land of the nobles in the south who were addicted to the rich land and did not think about making progress.
Now it has fallen to being attacked by the Southern Kingdom. In fact, the people of the Northern Union are holding back their anger, but there is no chance to fight back for the time being, so they can only suppress their anger.
But the more you think about it, the more angry you will get.
However, for the Frost Moon Kingdom, the priority at this time is to end the civil war as soon as possible.
The Fifth Legion also marched to the front line with the main force, but not long after noon, they began to set up camp again.
Rand began to classify the troops of the Fifth Legion. Nearly half of them were unable to fight and were classified as logistics by Rand. There were nearly 3,000 logistics troops, and their task was to transport things during the march.
When the battle started, they would be cannon fodder, use their bones to wear out the opponent's weapons, and use their flesh and blood to consume the opponent's slings and arrows.
However, Rand was not a completely cold-blooded person. As long as they could survive the three waves of charge, these people would get a rest period and could choose to join the combat troops or just sit there and do nothing.
Another 2,500 people were assigned to the frontal combat troops. These were militiamen who had at least received some training, or mercenaries with relatively good weapons and equipment. These people were responsible for the cannon fodder charge and then the frontal battle.
There were also 500 people in the trap camp. Rand arranged some mercenaries who looked like troublemakers and those nobles who provoked him here.
In fact, normally, if a noble commanded the army and deliberately arranged someone to die, it would be easy to get into trouble.
But since they provoked first, and Rand also spared their lives during the duel, and they were not blatantly sending themselves to die, there was nothing to blame.
In a sense, it can be regarded as mercy.
And it seems that Rand cannot be overthrown for a while, and many nobles with thick skins have begun to come to please him. After all, whether you can survive on the battlefield often depends on whether the chief officer is willing to take care of you.
Rand didn't care. As long as they didn't cause trouble, he would accept anyone who came to join the team. After all, if too many nobles died in the infantry, it would affect his reputation.
The 5th Legion was the last legion to set out. The 1st Legion had been on the road for several days and was estimated to be not far from the front line.
Moreover, the infantry of the 5th Legion moved slowly. Under Rand's command, they stopped and started, and constantly adjusted and managed.
Originally, Rand wanted to keep only 50 magic steel armored soldiers from the 260 people as personal guards. The rest were scattered in the legion to serve as grassroots officers.
These people in the hideout had at least received military training, and at least these people could understand basic instructions. Taner was assigned by Rand to the frontal combat unit as the chief officer.
Rand was in charge of the overall situation.
Now, as long as these people could know the basic instructions, he didn't believe that the infantry sent by the third prince could be much better than his infantry of the 5th Legion. It was just a comparison of the bad. As long as they were a little better, they should not lose too badly in a battle of the same scale.
Maybe even win.
Now the cavalry has been taken away by the Black and Brown Earl, and Rand doesn't know what mission they are going to perform, but Rand also has private goods. He has arranged people to train the war horses he bought from Ellie and Olena, and now he has a small scout force.
Although it is not very useful, it is not so dark about the surrounding environment.
After handling all military affairs, Rand felt the familiar feeling of cattle and horses when he was doing graduation projects in his previous life.
When he returned to the tent, it was already night.
Elsa was sent to scout nearby. Ellie and Olena had their own tents. Ellie was probably asleep, but Olena appeared in Rand's tent.
In fact, after the disguise, Olena was just more ordinary, and many camouflage materials for her body were removed because she was going to sleep.
"What's the matter?" Rand rubbed his face. "If it's not a particularly urgent military mission, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Oleanna took out a small bowl: "Alchemy reagent prepared by Ellie for you, although it's hard to drink, it can improve sleep quality."
Rand smiled. Since the relationship became better, he could often feel the care of Ellie and Olena. He sat aside and said, "Thank you very much, you should go to bed early too."
Oleanna stretched out her hands and showed her white and green jade fingers. It was hard to imagine that such smooth skin would have the hands of a swordsman with superb swordsmanship.
"Do you want me to massage you?"
"Uh, this is not good." Rand smiled awkwardly.
Oleanna glared at Rand and said helplessly: "What are you thinking about, just massage normally."
"No need, you are also very hard, go to bed early." Rand also knew that he had misunderstood, and then refused. As adjutants, Olena and Ellie also helped to deal with a lot of military affairs, and it was not necessarily easy.
Olena nodded and prepared to go back to her tent.
Then the elf came in from outside, holding an ellipsoidal object and something that looked like a switch.
Maybe because he didn't know the function of the object, he didn't care that Olena was right next to him: "I made the toy you mentioned before?"
Rand was stunned. He didn't expect that in this era, such a thing could really be made?
He took the object and the switch, turned on the switch, and the object began to vibrate.
Maybe because he was overwhelmed by military affairs, Rand's first thought was not the sex toy, but that this tm was actually wireless, what does this mean!
This means that it can be used as a communication tool!
Rand asked: "How close does this switch have to be to this toy to work?"
Lysa replied: "It can be activated within ten steps."
Hearing this, Rand was a little disappointed, but this thing must have sacrificed a lot for the toy's function. If it is enlarged, it may really be able to communicate within a certain range.
"Did you make this yourself?"
Lysa shook her head: "Ellie helped me do it."
After listening to this, Rand decided to wait until Ellie woke up tomorrow and ask if there was room for improvement. As for now, it was time to reward Lysa. Without her, there would be no such magical communication tool.
Serse is the productivity indeed!
Olenna obviously knew what the two were going to play with and asked: "Do you want me to watch?"
Rand was a little embarrassed, but in fact, Olena was already quite close to him and there was nothing to hide.
So he just stuck the toy on a certain part of Lysa, and then pressed the switch evilly.
Chapter 83 Taner and Fenris, fighting (800 additional chapters)
It was five days later when Rand met the Black and Brown Earl again. The cavalry of six or seven hundred people had lost more than one hundred people, and now it looked like five or six hundred.
The Black and Brown Earl got off his horse and walked to Rand: "The Third Prince sent the 2nd Legion in front, ready to meet the enemy."
Rand had played enough with the elves a few days ago, but stopped in time when he entered the battle zone.
After all, it would be too ugly if the soldiers were half dead in front of the army, and the beauties were still singing and dancing in the tent.
It was a pity that Olenna suffered.
Rand immediately ordered to stop marching and adjust the distance between the ranks.
If it is a well-trained strong army, then the transition from marching state to fighting state will be very fast, but obviously, the Second Prince's 5th Legion Infantry led by Rand is not among them. If they do not stop marching in advance, they will be a pile of loose sand.
Although Rand thinks that setting up a formation in advance may not be of any use, the quality is too poor.
During this period, Rand has been able to command this legion by constantly placing his own people, but Rand is really unsure about what will happen in the fight.
After the black and brown earl explained to Rand, he walked around the marching team.
His expression suddenly became surprised. It seems that he was right. This is definitely a senior talent of the Torch Church. He can actually command this infantry regiment that can't even be called mud.
He led the cavalry unit and saw their infantry regiment when he fought with the legion sent by the Third Prince in front. In comparison, this seemingly unimportant 5th Legion Infantry Regiment actually feels like a strong army.
At least the 2,500 people classified by Rand as frontal combat troops looked quite presentable, at least they were standing in a fairly neat line.
With such command and military management capabilities, it seemed that they had really found a treasure. The Torch Church was willing to send such a talent to the north to seek development opportunities.
Maybe he was really an illegitimate child, otherwise, with him in charge of the church headquarters, the military strength of the Torch Church would definitely be much stronger.
After a stroll, the Black and Brown Earl walked up to Rand and said, "I will be responsible for stopping the opponent's cavalry, and if I can, defeat their infantry."
Rand nodded, and then watched the Black and Brown Earl lead the cavalry and leave the infantry regiment again.
To be honest, Rand still admired the Black and Brown Earl very much. The previous confrontation between the cavalry was not less dangerous. In a short period of time, more than a hundred people in the cavalry regiment had died. Many familiar little nobles had not appeared again. It is estimated that their bodies were thrown into some corner.
The black-brown earl obviously looked like the type who led the troops in person. It turned out that the nobles of the North still had some bravery in their blood.
It was a pity that these nobles obviously did not have the ability to manage standing infantry. So, the Lake Source Baron was still a talent. His infantry was much better than the garbage in Rand's hands now.
Soon they met the enemy head-on. Now there was a special platform for Rand to stand on, so that he could see the whole situation better. He didn't need to stand on Taner's shoulders like in the beginning.
Seeing the troops on the opposite side, Rand felt relieved. Obviously, the opposite side was also a pile of garbage.
In front of the battle, Taner glanced at Fenris and said, "You don't have to join the battle."
"Why, do you dislike me?" Fenris sorted out his weapons. He was a pure agile type. If strictly divided, he was still one step away from the top level, but in fact he was quite restrained by heavy-armored warriors like Taner.
However, on the battlefield, the agile type really didn't have much room to dodge. There was no room for maneuver when the long spears pressed down like a forest.
That's why Taner said to Fenris.
"You can play a role in other places."
"For example, help you cover up the fact that you joined the cult?" Fenris sneered again.
"Do you think this is a cult?" Taner asked.
"Indeed, except for the reaction of the ritual vessel, nothing else can tell that this is a cult." Fenris told the truth, "But it seems that the Rand envoy has already seen that you are a member of the Torch Church?"
"Didn't you say before that you joined here through undercover methods?" Fenris continued, "Then why don't you change the style of your armor."
Taner showed a sad and angry expression: "I thought the style of knights' armor was the same."
"Aren't you afraid that your identity will be exposed and there will be no place for you here?"
"Absolutely impossible." Taner shook his head firmly, "Even if my identity is really discovered, it won't matter."
