29. Baron Lonis
The Kiraf Domain is a barony bordering the Panda Domain.
Lord Lonnis. As a lord, Holder can only be regarded as qualified, at least the Kiraf Lords are not in decline in his hands, but their development prospects are also very worrying. But as a commander, Lonis is undoubtedly very good, he personally trained three hundred heavy cavalry not only good at cavalry, but also no stranger to foot combat, it can be said that the horse is heavy cavalry, dismounted is heavy infantry, in the kingdom is deeply recognized by the military reformers.
At present, the reformers of the military department have proposed that Lonis be responsible for taking over the training and command of the Fourth Cavalry Regiment of the Kingdom, and there are even rumors that the reformers intend to change the name of this heavy cavalry unit to the Lonis Cavalry Regiment. If this decision is passed, then the Fourth Cavalry Regiment of the Kingdom will become the third cavalry regiment with an independent number in the Kingdom, and Lonis will also enter the high-level system of the Kingdom Military Department, which will not only enhance the reputation of the Holder family, but also the status of the reformers in the military department as the introducer.
However, this resolution is currently being opposed by a coalition of moderate and hawkish factions in the military, and the doves are silent.
The fact that the Kingdom of Dabion suffered a crushing defeat in the war with the Duchy of Lane four years ago also has a lot to do with the factional struggle within the kingdom's army.
Unlike the two factions that are generally divided into two factions, hawks and doves, there are five factions within the army of the Kingdom of Dabion. In addition to the modest, led by the older generation of generals, the reformers who are bent on changing the decadent atmosphere of the kingdom, the hawks who advocate aggressiveness, and the doves who believe that they should salute before the soldiers and focus on the policy of peace talks, there are also neutralists who do not belong to these four camps but are like grass on the wall.
Of course, this is not to say that there are no moderation and reformers in other countries, but these two factions are generally hawks and doves, and rarely appear as independent factions with strong banners.
Therefore, the internal factions within the army of the Kingdom of Dabion are actually very chaotic.
Moderates and reformers, hawks and doves are in opposition to each other. In non-war situations, it is usually a struggle between reformists and moderates. Hawks and doves rarely get involved in these debates, but if one faction is supported by one of the opposing factions, the remaining faction will join the other side without hesitation, creating some kind of more balanced stability.
It stands to reason that the moderates and hawks are united in their opposition to Lonnis' entry into the upper echelons of the military as a member of the reformists, and the doves should unconditionally support the reformists immediately. But this time, the doves' unexpected silence made the entire Dabiang nobles a little incomprehensible, they didn't understand why the doves, who had been working against the hawks, didn't say anything this time?
Judging from the current situation, it is probably impossible for Lonis to enter the upper echelons of the army.
A lot of people are feeling sorry for Lonnis. Especially the Holder family, to which Lonis belongs. If Lonnis can really enter the upper echelons of the army, then he will become the first nobleman to enter the upper echelons of the army of the Kingdom of Dabiang as a baron, which is likely to elevate the title of the Holder family from Marquis to Duke, becoming the sixth Duke of the Kingdom of Dabiang.
And when everyone felt sorry, only Lonnis was still calm. As if he didn't care at all.
But does he really care about nothing?
Lonis stood outside a tent with his hands in his hands. Look at this whole camp. The gaze is deep.
There were not many real soldiers in the camp, only three hundred heavy cavalry, but the scale of the camp was not small, because behind these three hundred heavy cavalry were nearly a thousand logistics and servants. Moreover, Lonnis's approach to managing the army is also different from that of ordinary lords, and these nearly 1,000 logistics and servants can even form a light infantry of 1,000 people as long as they are given weapons. Of course, on the battlefield, this army is probably equivalent to a cannon fodder team.
So nominally, the combined army of the four lords reached 4,000 people, but if you count the logistics troops, it was actually nearly 10,000 people. However, the only one that can really be regarded as combat-effective is the logistics force of Lonnis, which can barely be regarded as a second-level army. The logistics troops of the other lords can probably only be regarded as first-class armies, and the difference in combat power is not small.
A patrol of ten men came out of a corner of the camp, and as they passed in front of Lonnis, they stopped to greet the lord, but they were reprimanded by Lonis in a low voice, and the patrol hurried away.
Looking at the back of this patrol, Lonnis's brows furrowed slightly, looking very unhappy.
He was extremely strict in governing the army, and he had extremely strict discipline requirements, and he had an almost pathological iron law for every patrol route and shift change time in the camp. Therefore, the patrol team's greeting to Lonis naturally could not be exchanged for a friendly smile from the lord, but only ushered in a scolding, because this process was equivalent to wasting more than ten seconds of time in his eyes, which was likely to cause a short blind spot and gap in perspective, which could cause a series of changes.
How could Lonnis's patrol points, which have always been known for having no blind spots, tolerate such human errors?
"It is worthy of being a rising star in the military world in the future, and the management of the army is really rigorous." A young man who looked to be about twenty-five or six years old walked out of another tent and smiled lightly when he saw Lonnis, who was still calm.
Lonis looked at the young man, and he knew that although the other party looked young, he was actually about the same age as himself, and he was already in his thirties.
He was also in his thirties, but Lonis looked more like an old man in his forties and fifties. But this is also something that can't be helped, after all, Lonis has to work hard for the development of the family, he needs to rack his brain to think about many things, in such a heavy environment, of course, he can't look as young as this person who knows how to maintain. It's just that he has embarked on such a path, but Lonis does not regret it, because he knows that his achievements will inevitably be higher than that of this seemingly young middle-aged man in the future.
Because he is the commander, and the other party is just a strong man who has half a foot in the golden realm.
As long as he continues to work hard, there will definitely be no shortage of strong people under his command in the future. But the latter, in this life, can only obey the orders of others.
So Lonis was glamorous about the middle-aged man's obvious slightly mocking words. Naturally, they won't pay any attention, after all, they are destined to be two people from different worlds: "Thanks to the compliment, I just try to do the best I can." ”
The middle-aged man pursed his lips, although there was a little disdain in his eyes, but he was very good at hiding it, and he couldn't offend him at this time.
Because as a family knight of the Boulder family, he was fortunate enough to know some small secrets that could not be called secrets, so he knew very well that this baron was now secretly supported by the Boulder family, which was already destined for him to enter the high-level system within the army. No matter how exaggerated and regretful the rumors in the kingdom are, or how strongly the moderates and hawks criticize, they can't stop him from climbing up.
As the most investment-savvy family in the Kingdom, Boulder's connections are even more extensive than anyone could have imagined!
At that time, as long as the Boulder family makes a force, at least nearly half of the members of the conservative faction will fall into silence. The centrists will also turn to the reformists in an all-round way, and the doves, who are the most deeply rooted in the military as the Boulder family, will naturally not remain silent. So only the lone hawks will not be able to change anything. Only before that. No one knew that Lonis was actually a secret chess piece that the Boulder family was going to use to break into the military reformers, and this hand was relatively hidden.
It is precisely for this reason that this strong man, who has already stepped into the lower golden realm with half a foot, was secretly sent by the Boulder family to protect Baron Lonnis. After all, judging from the strength of the Holder family behind Lonnis, a strong man who has entered the lower golden realm with half a foot is not very eye-catching, and at least a marquis family that has been rooted for hundreds of years is not a problem to come up with a promising high-ranking silver master.
"Mr. Dyson. I hope you'll be able to keep your attention better during this time. Lonis watched two scantily clad women walk out of the tent where the middle-aged man sent by the Boulder family to protect him was located, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "Try not to waste your time on something meaningless." According to the information I have received in the past few days, the lord of Panda has also begun to arrange the border. I guess there's a good chance he'll go further. ”
"So what?" Dyson made a suggestive gesture to the two female companions who were brought to the barracks by him, causing the two female companions to tremble before turning his head to look at Lonnis, "Do they dare to call?" Oh, when the main force of the Boulder family arrives at the Mordg Territory, the Mordeg Lord's side will take the lead in attacking, and then the four of you lords will attack together, and the lord will only roll back to the Tonis Fortress in a gloomy manner, I really don't know what you are afraid of. ”
"What I'm afraid of is that before the main force of the Boulder family arrives in the Mordg territory, this war will end early." Lonis said mercilessly, "Recently, the border side of the Panda Territory has also been a little nervous, and considering the previous situation when the lord dared to say that he wanted to set foot on the Mordeg Territory even though he knew the situation in the Dao, I think this lord will definitely send troops to fight with the coalition forces on our side first, and only in this way can he deal with the Mordeg Territory with peace of mind." ”
There was already an impatient look in Dyson's eyes.
"After all, none of our four lords' coalition forces have been completely assembled, so I think that if the lord of Panda has a little military common sense and wants to start a war in advance, he will definitely take the lead in attacking me, after all, only my troops are nominally heavy cavalry troops, and in the case of losing the distance advantage, there is no soft persimmon that is better to deal with."
"But aren't your troops called to mount and ride and dismount?"
"Don't forget, based on the reports of the Panda Lord's private troops so far, the lions on the other side are also a hoplite, and my troops have no advantage in this regard. And because of the equipment configuration and training level, my troops are even likely to be weaker than the other side in foot combat, so I hope that Mr. Dyson will be able to follow my command and cooperate with my tactics. ”
"Okay, okay, I know the way."
Dyson waved his hand impatiently, and then walked towards the two female companions with an eager expression, ignoring Lonnis, which made Lonnis's brow furrow. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Lonis always feels a little restless tonight, originally he hoped to reach a verbal agreement with Dyson, after all, according to his understanding, there are no strong and masters in the Panda Leader, if he can make Dyson obey his command and cooperate with his actions, then he is sure that with the 1,300 people in his hands, he can rely on the terrain to repel any enemy who dares to attack, so that the lord of the Panda Leader knows that the Dabiang Kingdom also has an excellent commander.
But now, looking at Dyson's appearance, Lonnis feels that there is no hope of negotiating with him, he only hopes that this master is really a master, not pretending. (To be continued.) )
