For the next ten days, no matter how much they tried to comfort and care about them, Kai was still listless and depressed, like a walking corpse.

This mental state was so bad that Saris approached Dipp and came up with an idea: "Boss, like that, Kay will be sick sooner or later." So we wanted to take him out for a walk. We discussed, didn't we catch that white rose or black peony when we came? I still remember the address he said, and it was not far from the city of St. Louis, two or three hundred miles. Let's go once, go on an expedition to dig up treasure, and find him something to do. ”

"Okay!" Dipu was also worried about Kui's condition, so he agreed.

"Boss......" Then, Saris was stunned.

Dipu was a little curious: "What? Is it necessary to add some more things to the expedition? If you need money, no problem!"

"No!" said Salis, laughing, and leaned over to Dip, "Boss! But we're not worried about that, we're mainly worried about you. ”

"Me?" said Dip was surprised.

"Yes. Boss, didn't you notice that the two bosses had gathered?" Salis laughed at the more thieves became, "They want to fight in groups, right? You raise a little one outside, do you still want to have a better life? We are afraid that we are not here, and you will be destroyed every day." I'm afraid that when you come back, you will become skinny...... Hey. ”

"Get out of here!" Dipp scolded, "they're here for the Winter Auction together." Who are you boss, who am I? That means, women are all obedient, will they be jealous? Also, Xiya is also the boss lady, and we have already visited the church. ”

"Chapel?" Saris was curious, "why don't we know?"

"It's just to swear in front of the god of war or something. Dipu explained with a smile, "The wedding and wedding wine will be rescheduled later, and I will give Xia an explanation in general." ”

"Cocoa...... Boss!" Salis asked, "Aren't you a Illuminati saint, how do you swear before the god of war, and what about your faith?"

"What faith? I didn't believe that again. ”

"Uh, boss, I admire you so much! You heretic, how did you get into the Illuminati, how did you become a saint? And you forced so many people to believe in religion. You don't believe it yourself......"

"Hehe, no more ghost screaming, no more ghost screaming, short legs, I will punish you in the name of the God of Light!"

"Help!"

......

Prepared for the day. Haugh and Salis dragged Kay and set off. The Holy Knights' special knightly training has come to an end, and Julia and the others have returned to serve as Dipp's bodyguard. Although Dipu is also a young man who is playful, he has his own studies after all. At noon on the day they left, he was taken by Heide Bogra into a tactical seminar room used by the senior military department.

There were already seven or eight people in the room, and Willy was among them. And in the very middle of the room. There is a huge sand table, and the sand table is filled with small flags of red, blue, and black.

Seeing Dipp and Heideberg coming in, Willy looked up and greeted Dipp: "Dipp, the teacher asked you to come and listen together." Then he introduced the other people in the seminar room to Dip one by one.

All of them were senior military students. I heard that it was Dipu, and everyone was very polite. The military department is slightly different from other departments. First, Dip was hand-picked by Marshal Phoenix; second, Dip also had real military records; and third, Dipp's battle examples were also included in the "Compilation of War Cases", so those people did not despise Dip because he was a freshman.

"Dip!" Willy said at the beginning, "On this sand table, it is the situation of the bandit army on the side of Thomrshire and the Duchy of Hiss two days ago. Because they are flying a black flag. Therefore, the military department named them bandits. However, it has not happened in the Empire for decades to be officially named by the Ministry of War. Although the bandits could not escape the fate of destruction, they also died without regrets. ”

"Hehehe!" a chuckle rang out in the room. Willie continued, "However, during the encirclement and suppression, the academy will send a cadet observation group to the battlefield to observe and learn. And here are all outstanding students, and they are all members of the observation group, so before leaving, the teacher let us discuss and explain it to us. Tell your Dipu to come and hear it too. ”

"You see on this sand table, the black flag represents the black bandits, and the red flag represents the troops of the Duchy of His, as for the blue flag. It's the army of our empire......"

"Huh?" Listening to Willy's introduction, Dipu noticed a strange place. He pointed to a few blue flags with yellow dots and asked, "What kind of troops is this?"

Willy laughed: "This is the Starflame Knights of the Holy See, this time with the Imperial Operation." And the slightly larger blue flags over there are six infantry regiments and one light cavalry regiment transferred from the military headquarters. As for the five slightly smaller blue flags. It was the five infantry regiments of the county of Thomr. There were originally six, but one was defeated by the bandits. But Dip, you're supposed to be the military commander of Thomrshire, right? Congratulations, this should be your first defeat, right?"

"Hahaha!" there was another good-natured laugh in the room.

Dipu knew that the Starflame Knights, like his own Knights of the Holy Spring, were also the newly formed Little Knights of the Holy See this time. However, that Starflame is also one of the fastest formations among the small knights, I heard that more than 200 powerful children were recruited to form together, and the construction was quickly completed, and it basically reached a full capacity of 30,000 people.

I have to say that compared with Starflame, although the geographical location of Franco's Holy Spring is quite important, it is indeed a big shortcoming in terms of financial resources and manpower.

Willie continued: "This observation group is composed of us people, and I am designated to lead the team. However, apart from one of the cavalry brigades that escorted us, there were no instructors. And each of us, from now on, pay attention, even now, to enter the state. After coming back, I will write a summary of my observation experience, and the teacher will comment on them one by one. Let's start with this battlefield situation!"

As soon as Willy finished speaking, Dipu hurriedly raised his hand and asked, "Willy, I shouldn't count it, right? I still have Teacher Alexander's lessons." It's impossible to go out and see. ”

Willy smiled at Dipu, "The teacher also said that he would talk to the Sage about this." In the last joint encirclement and suppression between the empire and the principality, the empire sent an infantry regiment, and the principality sent a coalition of lords of 8,000 people, but it was lured and surrounded and defeated. Due to the confusion of information from the front, the specific details are not yet clear. I know that the bandits have seven larger forces, and they are fighting together. However, to defeat the equivalent of two or three regiments, there should be at least one or two divisions (divisions are not standing formations, and are generally composed of three or four regiments in wartime, with about 20,000 men). And wars above the division level should be rare before the invasion of the demons. So what the teacher means: you can't give up this opportunity, that is, to open your eyes. ”

Dipu could only sigh secretly: "Hey! It's not a good thing to be too good!

At this moment, one of the students saw something strange and asked: "Willy, you mean one or two divisions, even if the enemy is lenient, count it as three divisions! But looking at this situation, on the side of our empire, there are 30,000 Star Flames, and there are 12 regiments with nearly 60,000. On the Hiss side, this time an army of more than 80,000 was formed. The ratio of forces is three to one, not to mention that we are a regular army, and the bandits are bandits. It may be difficult to completely annihilate them, but there is no problem in defeating the main force of the gangsters. But why, the troops of our empire would put on such a defensive formation?"

"Huh?" everyone became serious, and they looked at the position of the emperor ** team on the sand table, and they did feel a little strange.

Willie smiled: "The answer can't be revealed, because everyone's experience summary has to be completed independently." One thing is true, though, the Empire is indeed on the defensive. Why? It shouldn't be hard to guess why the teacher let us go this time, because we are the best. After graduation, it will definitely be reused by the military department. And in war, junior officers look at tactics, and senior officers look at strategy. Just one word of caution: strategy and politics are inextricably linked. Therefore, we must get used to looking at problems from a strategic vantage point, so that we can start from a high point and make rapid progress. ”

Dipu immediately understood. Even the other students were thoughtful. These students are inherently outstanding, and with a little thought, it is not difficult to find the answer. It is nothing more than wanting to make the Duchy of Hiss and the black bandits lose both, and the troops of the empire will take advantage of the situation to enter the duchy to encircle and suppress. drove the tiger and devoured the wolf, and included the only Hiss principality on the continent that had not yet expressed its position into the system of imperial unification.

Subsequently, everyone began to discuss enthusiastically according to the arrangement on the sand table. Willy finally said: "When I go back, I will try to collect information about Thomrshire and the Duchy of Hiss. Each person then independently develops a military plan. On the way there, let's discuss it together. Note: This is also to be scored. Ten days later, we gathered at the entrance of the college and set off together. Still have questions? No, okay, disband!"

......

After inexplicably getting involved in some observation group, Dipu was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of attitude Mr. Alexander had. That night, when Dipu went to study, before he could speak, Alexander smiled and said, "Phoenix has already said, go and go." Anyway, as soon as I come back, I have to take an exam. I'll judge you individually. If you don't pass the grade, you can do it yourself, right?"

"Huh?" Dipu was startled, "Teacher, what are the consequences?"

"I forgot to tell you, I'm a big fan of corporal punishment. ”

"Hey. That...... I'll do my best!"

"That's for the best. Let's talk about the passing standard for you, a score of 95 or more is considered a passing grade. ”

"Oh my god!" (To be continued.) )
