Shantil looked Amber up and down for half a minute, and let out a sneer. "Hah! Is this guy? A mere fifth-level warrior? A cold arrow on the battlefield could kill him. ”

"Officers are required of tactical literacy and command ability, and personal strength is secondary. You know, this time, the idea of bringing the scattered enemies together with rumors and gathering and annihilating them was proposed by Amber. What's more, he is only twenty-two years old this year, and he has just joined the army for less than three years and is already a fifth-level warrior, I believe that when he reaches my age, he will definitely cross the threshold of fifteen and become a martial arts master. ”

Corey said these words with pride on his face, feeling like he was introducing his wonderful son to someone else. It can be said that all the young officers in this army were raised by him, although there is no idea of being a teacher for one day and a father for life in the Faren Continent, but this relationship is still quite close.

"Whatever, I only care about whether the characters can be completed smoothly, and you have the final say on the issue of manpower allocation." Shantil turned and left. She didn't agree with Corey at all, and while officers don't need to be too high, they can't be too low. Level 5 warriors are too vulnerable, and they are very vulnerable to sneak attacks to death, or be controlled by spells.

Half an hour later, Corey commanded the main force of the army to march northeast along the main road. He has left enough soldiers and a stage for the young adjutants, and what kind of record he can play depends on his personal ability. You must know that for a young officer, it is one thing to follow a large army to give advice, and it is another thing to lead an army alone, and it is normal for the whole army to be annihilated if the control is not good.

Watch as the army slowly disappears into the night. Amber shook her fist hard. I couldn't help myself. Coming from a civilian background, he knows how hard it is to have such an opportunity. If it weren't for the fact that the situation in the north was a bit complicated, it would have been impossible to lead the troops alone as a rookie.

Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: soldiers are noble and fast. This means that the use of troops is particularly fast, and the enemy can seize the opportunity to attack before he can react. Although the people on the Feron Continent have not heard of this sentence, there are still similar sentences. As a place where the flames of war continue, the military doctrine here is quite mature.

Under Corey's tutelage, Amber had long mastered a lot of theoretical knowledge of marching and fighting. Without hesitation, he ordered all the soldiers to board the ship, and also prepared to use the cover of night to sneak up the river and attack Skenubel. This is the most important first step in the entire program. If it is smooth, the Chongsa River will be completely in the hands of the principality. At that time, with a steady stream of supplies from the rear, it was only a matter of time before the entire north fell.

Two hundred elite soldiers, plus more than one hundred and sixty prisoners, boarded a large river boat. Amber stood on the deck with some emotion, these people are the capital of his achievements, although there are only less than four hundred people, but most of them are already veterans, and even the mercenaries who served the Iron Throne in the past have basically killed people.

Before setting sail, there was no pre-war mobilization or an impassioned speech, just a loud announcement: If the action goes well. And if he doesn't let go of an enemy, he will give a third of the spoils as a reward to everyone. Whether it was a previous captive. Or regular soldiers.

Nothing increases the combat effectiveness of the army more than naked interests, and just look at the excited eyes and hideous smiles of all of them, their enthusiasm for war has been completely ignited, and from now on this is an elite force, and anyone who dares to stand in the way of the way will be crushed.

Although this can cause some rather bad sequelae, such as the fact that the soldier is likely to be passive and war-weary, or even mutiny, if the income is insufficient. But now there is not so much to worry about, according to Amber's estimates, there are at least four hundred to six hundred enemies scattered in various villages in the entire rear, plus the defenders of Skenubel, there are almost more than a thousand men, which is two and a half times his own strength.

He had to do everything he could to increase the morale of his soldiers, and if he couldn't get the gold after capturing the city, the young commander would not hesitate to order the robbery of the wealthy merchants. When the time comes, as long as it is cleaned up enough, and then pushed on the head of the Iron Throne, no one will notice it at all. After all, the reputation of this commercial organization has long been able to withstand the wind and stink, and it is not surprising that it will do something angry and resentful.

Of course, this is all thanks to Henry and Robert's secret plan. In order to promote the legitimacy of their rule, they did not hesitate to adapt the plot and story of the Iron Throne into more than a dozen versions, which were sung by the bards of Bluvent City College. Now even the children of Waterdeep know that there is such an evil merchant organization on the Western Continent, which specializes in uniting monsters to subvert the local regime.

The whole project involved dozens of bards and cost more than 20,000 gold coins, but the results were far greater than you think. The greatest benefit of this is that it has won the approval of the majority of the people, while permanently characterizing the Iron Throne as an evil organization. These two points not only ensured Henry's legitimate dominance, but also took advantage of the annexation of a large number of shops, warehouses, and goods that originally belonged to the Iron Throne.

It can be said that more than half of the reason why the Iron Throne made such a bold move was forced. If they swallow their anger and watch so much property being forcibly expropriated, then the hearts and minds of the people will immediately disperse, and the whole organization will fall apart in a short time. After all, the purpose of the establishment of the chamber of commerce is to stand out for the businessmen who join in, and if they can't do this, who will hand over a part of the profits for no reason.

At first, the top management of the Iron Throne was just in the mentality of trying it out, but they didn't expect Antar. The Silver Shield was so vulnerable that it took over several towns and vast swaths of land almost without bloodshed. Because of this, their ambitions began to expand further, and they wanted to attack Henry in the south, but they didn't expect to steal chickens and rice.

These guys still don't know that they have a deadly elite army behind their ass. As long as Corey captures the town of Tril, he will immediately be able to form a chrysanthemum force against the enemy forces that are besieging Soba. As long as he wants, this sharp dagger can be lightly struck behind the Iron Throne, ensuring that the other party can survive and not die.

――――――――――――――――――――

Near midnight, Henry, who was covered in a stinking body, finally emerged from the sewers in the temple area. He killed another elemental lich without alerting anyone, and at the same time obtained the other party's lifebox and the other half of the Kangus seal, the hand and leg bones made of gold.

Due to the long time spent in the sewers, his patience has long been exhausted, and there is still an evil fire in his stomach, as soon as he sees the lich, he directly hits the "dimensional anchor" to close the surrounding space, followed by a weakened version of the legendary magic "Sunrise", the poor elemental lich didn't even have time to speak, and even the scum was destroyed by the positive energy.

Perhaps because he was in a much better mood after venting, Henry lifted his stealth and walked leisurely on the streets of the temple area. He even hummed a small tune softly. However, as he passed by the entrance of the Temple of Heim, the faces of the two knights suddenly became ugly, and they covered their noses and mouths in unison.

No way, the smell is so stinky. You must know that the sewers of Ascatra are full of things, including domestic wastewater, excrement, leftover food, human or monster corpses, etc., all of which are rotten, spoiled, and fermented, and ordinary people can even get fatal germs by taking a breath of air.

"Hey! Good evening, dear knights. It's a really nice night today, and bathing in the bright moonlight makes you feel happy, doesn't it? Henry paused and said with a smile on his face. He noticed the movements of the two guys and was deliberately teasing them.

One of the knights held his breath and quickly replied, "Good evening, sir. But I'd advise you to hurry home, knowing that the nights haven't been very safe lately. ”

"Oh? Didn't the vampire disappear two days ago? Why is it coming out again now? Henry asked, feigning curiosity. He was obviously having a bad seizure, and wanted to see how long it would take for these two guys to be tempted to open their mouths.

The Paladin is the embodiment of order and goodness, and must lead by example, not to swear, let alone to curse. They must be courteous in their dealings with others, even if they are filthy beggars. It can be said that under such harsh conditions, a considerable number of inspired holy warriors could not help but choose to fall, some became dark guards who believed in the evil gods, and some turned into warriors.

The Knight (in this case, a profession, not a knighthood in the aristocratic system) is a variant of the Paladin, abandoning the use of ranged weapons while adding items against dragons and demons to their daily training. They know the body structure of dragons and demons better than anyone else, so they can use more combat power against these desolate beasts or evil beings. Of course, knights must also observe all the virtues of the paladin.

The Templar in front of him endured the disgusting taste, and gave a 1510 account of the fight between the shadow thieves and vampires in the last few days. He spoke in great detail, almost telling everything he knew, and he didn't mean to deal with it at all.

Although Henry has always thought these guys are a bit silly, there is no denying that they are indeed worthy of admiration. After all, not everyone can talk for ten minutes against the smell of stench, just to prevent a stranger from being in danger. It seems that it makes sense that the Paladins are very popular in many places, at least they protect a lot of people from evil monsters.

It seems that after the disbandment of the evil squad, it is possible to consider recruiting a paladin. Anyway, the Holy Avenger "Kasomir" is also a waste lying in the dimensional bag, so it is better to take it out and use it first. In particular, the two special effects of increasing strong magic resistance and releasing "disarm magic" on hit can make the wielder a veritable spellcaster killer. (To be continued......)
