In the military camp on the northern front.
It was another meeting attended by almost all the imperial generals and leaders of wizard organizations. The purpose was to discuss how to plan the war in the north after the arrival of spring... Originally, such an issue should have been handled by a higher level of imperial management, but because of the consequences of the last agreement on a defensive policy.
Nowadays, many people in the imperial military have bad tempers. In order to ease the conflict between the military and the officials in the imperial capital, under the suggestion of Latula, the decision-making under the general environment is still left to the king and officials, while the front line will leave more say to the military itself.
In their words, why do those officials, who can't even fight a war, have the right to give orders?
Now it’s okay, no one is telling me what to do.
The frontline operations will be commanded by the military itself...
Grand Marshal Latula looked at everyone without saying anything, and then said, "Then I'll go first."
"Let me first explain the current situation. Spring is approaching with the warming temperatures. The Borg have been relatively quiet throughout the winter, but once spring arrives, they may launch a major attack. Our defenses remain vulnerable... Meanwhile, the good news is that while Shata hasn't agreed to an alliance with us on the Western Front, he has blocked the Borg's advance, buying us time. This, in turn, has created a rift with them."
Having said that, Latula asked the adjutant behind him for the latest information.
"The Borg are likely to attack Shata. Prince Philip is actively negotiating with them, hoping for a positive outcome. This could be a breakthrough in our past predicament! As for the other side, Grand Duke Haruman believes that Jagun from the desert might be able to help us."
Latula carefully examined the intelligence sent from the palace. The content was actually related to the victory in the war on the southern border?!
Suddenly I looked up at everyone...
"Grand Marshal, what's wrong?"
"Uh..." I didn't know how to start for a moment.
"The Grand Duke believes that the Sun King of Jagun will send troops to help, and that the border war can be used as an opportunity to eliminate the Desert Golden Group."
After hearing this, everyone became even more confused. Latula then told everyone the whole news, but many people still didn't understand. The news of victory in the war in the southeast of the empire had already been reported before, and no one had expected that Count Weigel on the border would have such ability to strategize.
If it weren't for the war, many generals would have loved to see firsthand how this earl, whom they had never heard of, managed his strategies on the battlefield.
But then again, what does the victory of this battle have to do with the Sun King?
Grand Marshal Latula has served in the Imperial Army for many years, but he is not very clear about what happened more than 20 years ago.
At that time, I was just an ordinary general, and I was not at the stage where I could talk to a foreign guest like the Sun King. Therefore, I did not understand the reasons revealed in the news, but since the Grand Duke said it was credible, then I believed it.
At least it is a method. Otherwise, putting all the pressure on Xiata may not necessarily have a good result.
"This is roughly the situation we're facing right now. Although the Imperial Capital is using various means to open up the situation for us, we still have to go all out on the front lines. I've received news that the Borg want to cultivate land we've lost to the north to make up for their long transportation lines..."
"They are dreaming. They really think our land is theirs." One of the generals roared in dissatisfaction.
"Yeah... these shameless Borgs!"
"Sooner or later, they'll have to pay..."
"Then can you fight your way through?" Latula's words silenced the excited people again.
"If possible, I really hope that you can have the courage of the Southern Earl, and be able to single-handedly wipe out an enemy that is several times stronger than you."
"That's because of the terrain... the terrain... the north is mostly plains, there is no such good terrain." said a general.
Frelia was also sitting somewhere in the wizard group, watching the generals quarreling with each other with contempt.
When the news of Sean's victory came, I hadn't expected him to be so powerful, leading a team alone to destroy the enemy, including the Desert Golden Group. At that time, I really wanted to recommend him to the Grand Marshal, but now it seems...
It was right for Sean not to come, otherwise he would have been ostracized by these generals!
In fact, such military meetings are held every few days to report on the situation in each responsible area. Since the war between the two sides has reached a stalemate, the troops have been idle for a long time. Even the daily harassment has decreased a lot in winter, and it is quiet most of the time.
The quieter it got, the more uneasy the Grand Marshal, who was in charge of the front lines, felt. He desperately wanted to find a way out, but he was unsuccessful...
Winter is almost over, and it is time to send troops when spring comes. However, this will bring with it a series of problems such as conflicts among domestic disaster victims and spring planting. The front line must take action, otherwise such consumption will drag down the domestic economy.
While everyone was discussing, a reporter came in saying that General Mandela, who had been sent out to reinforce, had returned, bringing with him a lot of food, supplies and new artillery from the southeast.
"Southeast? Did you take it from the territory of Earl Sean Weigel?"
"Yes," the soldier replied.
Mandela walked in...
He lived in Oro City for a while before leading his team back to the northern front. He rode at full speed on the way there, but because he was carrying a large amount of supplies and money, he couldn't travel so fast. It took him more than half a month to rush back.
