Chapter 83 A Group of Troops (Wuhu, there will be 800 additional chapters tomorrow, watch me rise)

Rand whispered to Ellie: "Can you kill in a duel?"

"Okay, but it's better not to do that now." Ellie looked at the strong baron who was obviously feeling guilty.

Everything is for the purpose of controlling the legion in the future. As long as there is no problem with the command this time, Rand will be well-known in the military of the Frost Moon Kingdom and will be able to serve as a commander in every war.

If you go further north, those who can have titles like earl or baron, and actual fiefdoms, are all very powerful individuals, otherwise they would not be able to survive in that cold land.

But in the relatively warm Frost Moon Kingdom, many families no longer pass on their legacy of bravery.

Perhaps because they were too close to the old nobles in the southern kingdoms who had remained unchanged for hundreds of years, many nobles in the Frost Moon Kingdom had also been infected with those banquet habits, but they did retain some bravery.

This strong-looking baron should be of decent level, and his strength may have reached elite level.

Soon, the duel began in front of a group of minor nobles.

The Baron was the first to draw his sword, the style of which was exactly the same as Olenna's.

The swift sword has incomparable advantages over traditional longswords, two-handed swords, and greatswords, because piercing wounds are obviously much more deadly than slashing wounds.

Therefore, in situations like duels, the swift sword can crush almost all other short-handled weapons.

Only short weapons are allowed. If you use a long spear, the opponent will have no choice but to surrender.

Rand actually wanted to use Blessing 2 to perform a public lust performance, but there might be someone here with the ritual objects of the Torch Church, so he had to give up this idea.

In the eyes of onlookers, it may be very fast, but Rand has been strengthened by Blessing 1 after all, and the ones who taught Rand combat skills were all masters of various professions.

Simply dodge it, then place the sword across the baron's neck.

Many people present guessed that Rand might be quite powerful, but they did not expect such a quick ending.

However, the bravery of the chief officer also made them feel relieved. In this era, if the commander is a weakling who can only give orders, he will obviously not be able to convince the people.

This provocation from these nobles actually gave Rand a chance to prove himself.

"During war, provoking the commander is a capital crime," Rand said with a smile. "But it just so happens that I need a vanguard troop to explore the way. What do you think?"

Rand knew exactly what Ellie meant. To these nobles, he was not yet one of them. Killing the baron directly would likely cause a backlash, but not killing him would also prevent him from maintaining his dignity.

So he chose a compromise.

Risk your life by rushing to the front and fighting for a chance to atone for your sins. This can also prove your bravery. Bravery is the glory of the nobility, isn't it?

…

Rand was already somewhat unwilling to do this.

If the magic steel soldiers who had hardly received any training were a mob when they first faced Baron Huyuan.

Then, if Taner led the Fengrang Mercenary Group, facing the collective mercenary groups of Marquis Green Leaf, it would probably be a hopeless case.

As for the 5th Corps' infantry regiment, if one must use an adjective to describe it, it can only be described as a mess.

Not only did most of the people not have more than two pieces of clothing and were shivering, their weapons were all old, and some were even made of wood, such as sticks and wooden guns.

To be honest, it is already very remarkable to be able to gather such a group of people together. They are so crowded that these people probably don’t even know which noble recruited them. They probably don’t even know where to go back to after the war.

A group of consumables, their combat effectiveness when gathered together seems not as good as when separated.

Rand even felt that if these people gathered together, they might not be able to defeat the small 260-man army in the hideout, because if they gathered together, they would not even know which direction the enemy was.

Is it too late to pretend to be defeated by some baron and ask the black and brown earl to change the commander? It seems that this army is about to collapse.

It's outrageous.

Before, Rand fought and defeated those provocative nobles, and later some nobles who thought they were very capable tried to challenge Rand.

Then they were all severely spanked by Rand, letting them realize how far the mountains and rivers were. After that, they were all assigned to a team that was nominally the vanguard but was actually the trap camp.

No one dared to directly violate his authority as a commander.

Some people have even taken the initiative to take sides, such as Baron Heyuan in the southwest of Crescent Moon Territory. He had previously traded with Crescent Moon Territory and purchased specialties from Crescent Moon Territory, such as juice tea bags.

He is also a vassal of the Black and Brown Count and is now in the 5th Legion. He did not participate in the provocation or watch before, but now that he sees that Rand has dealt with the trouble, he comes to join him as soon as possible.

But that doesn't fix the fact that the 5th Legion is a fragile piece of junk.

"Have you ever fought in a legion war before?" Rand sat in the military tent. These 6,000 people had no barracks or anything. After being assigned to a place, they stayed there to freeze. Rand had urgently arranged for people to find them a place that could barely block the wind.

Baron Heyuan was a blond man with blue eyes. He looked somewhat similar to Baron Huyuan. Both were quite handsome. Hearing Rand's question, he nodded and said, "I have participated in the garrison in the North before."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Is it the same with the garrison troops?" Rand was speechless. It seemed that the orcs and trolls were really no match for them. They couldn't even break through with such an army.

Baron Heyuan nodded and said, "Yes, but most of the infantry will stay in the castle and only need to shoot arrows or throw stones."

In other words, 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 Marquis of Green Leaf who had a fight with Taner that time was already skilled in military affairs. He was able to command so many people at will and fight back and forth with Taner.

I guess that person is 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 since given up on worthless soldiers like conscripts."

What should he do? Rand finally understood why the Earl of the Stag wanted to stay in the cavalry with the Earl of Black and Brown instead of choosing the command of the infantry.

Commanding infantry is a purely tedious job, and it is really a thankless task.

Just when Rand was worrying about how to command these polymer troops whose soldiers did not know their generals and whose generals did not know their soldiers, the people of the God of Struggle Sect were already ready to take action.

The Fourth Prince was well-informed. At least the news that the Second Prince and the Third Prince were going to fight was accurately conveyed to the members of the God of Struggle sect.

The God of Struggle sect advocates all conflicts, which of course does not only include large-scale military conflicts, but also small-scale conflicts between villages.

Once these armies set out, the territories of these nobles will inevitably be left unguarded. This will be their chance to stir up civil strife. Wouldn't it be interesting when these nobles finish the war and find that all the people in their territories have died in the conflict?
