Chapter 186 Comfort

"The First Army's air defense was relatively successful, but it cannot be popularized because the cost is too high. Although the Pegasus Army did not break through the First Army's defense this time, the First Army suffered enough losses. The exercises in the past few days have exposed our problem. The air defense capability of a single army is insufficient. I have thought about this problem for a few days and now I have a solution. I would like to hear your opinion."

Richard glanced at Primathis and motioned her to continue: "I plan to split up my Third Army to The companies and platoons will be organized into various army corps to improve their air defense capabilities. In addition, the siege corps will be divided into two, one to Ligredo and the other to Ian. These two will be organized into the First Army and the Second Army. What do you think?"

Richard frowned and asked, "With this arrangement, you will have to hand over all your military power."

Primathis tilted his head slightly, "As long as you can help our army and help you, it doesn't matter whether I have military power or not. And..."

And what, Primathis shook his head and didn't say anything. Richard knew that what she wanted to talk about was the competition between the old and the new. Richard was often unwilling to waste his brain cells to think about plans. Primatis, as the highest official of the General Staff in Yugdelsilu, had great power, not to mention that he also had a main army. The balance of power between the old and the new was tilting. In order to prevent the healthy competition from turning into a vicious confrontation, Primatis took the initiative to make concessions.

Richard stared at Primathis's face. Primathis's expression remained unchanged. Richard sighed and said, "Vashj didn't make a mistake. I agree with your proposal."

Richard had been thinking about solving the old and new problems. Primathis's initiative temporarily alleviated Richard's worries. Richard patted Primathis on the shoulder and walked down the hill.

After Onyxia forcibly ended the battle, both sides rested on the spot and were lectured by the commander. On Zonotz's side, Zonotz was waving his big pincers and spitting at his soldiers. On Diluka's side, Diluka was taking care of the wounded. There were no casualties in this exercise, but there were quite a few injured. Soldiers from both sides needed to be admitted to the hospital for recuperation.

Diluka was patrolling among the soldiers, and she would show concern for the injured soldiers she passed by. When she saw Richard, she ran out.

Richard smiled at her and praised her, "You are really good. This battle really impressed me. Zonoz didn't get any advantage."

Diluka smiled and said, "This way he will work harder to train his soldiers."

Richard glanced at the soldiers behind Diluka. The soldiers were all resting, and few of them were staring at Richard.

Diluka noticed Richard's gaze: "I convinced my soldiers to join your army. But they are still a little resistant to fighting with the demons, even though I explained to them that fighting with you is to protect Yggdrasil."

"This is not easy either. For you, we are invaders. It takes courage to join the invaders' team. If it weren't for your reputation as a goddess, no one would join us. If you use this organizational ability in other areas, such as business, you will definitely achieve greater success."

Diluka shook her head: "Achievements are not what I pursue. What I pursue is the happiness of the people. And compared to sending people to the battlefield, I would rather use my hands to protect the land of Yggdrasil."

After Diluka finished speaking, she smiled self-deprecatingly: "What I said does not seem to be convincing at all. I am talking to you. "I was defeated in the battle, Ida's land was lost, and Gretz also fell with my participation. The battle is still going on, and I still have to face my compatriots..."

Richard could understand Diluka's feelings to some extent. She violated her knight's creed. In this war that swept the entire continent, she changed from a defender to an invader. Although she firmly believed that she could protect this continent in the end, some rumors still troubled her. Joining the Pegasus Legion with only more than a hundred people in the demon clan made her bear the name of a traitor, and even some extremists called her a "traitor". If Diluka had more soldiers, who knows what name would appear. If it weren't for the fact that most of the people in Ada still had firm beliefs, Diluka would have collapsed by now.

Richard comforted Diluka: "Diluka, you haven't failed yet. Your ultimate goal is to protect the survival of the continent of Yggdrasil. This is also our common goal. As long as you keep working towards this goal, your people will understand your intentions. I know you are still sad for the people who died in the Ada War. If you don't want their sacrifice to be in vain, fight for the unification of Yggdrasil."

Diluka was a little surprised: "Richard, are you comforting me?"

Li Richard made a funny expression and shrugged his shoulders: "Of course, if you are troubled by these troubles, it is not good news for us. You can also feel from the exercises these days that your Pegasus Corps is very important to our troops."

Diluka smiled brilliantly: "Although I don't know whether these words are from your heart or for other purposes, anyway, I am much better, thank you..."

Richard waved his hand: "No need to thank me, if you really want to thank me, repay me with results."

"Yes, I'm standing here just for a good result."

Diluka looked at Richard's face and suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect that one day I would say these words to you. You know? Many people in Ada think you are a bad person."

Richard pointed at himself and laughed: "Really, I am a bad person. Is there a bad person as good as me?"

Diluka covered her mouth and laughed: "After all, you are a demon. Although you have done a good job in Ada, people's impression of demons is still deeply rooted."

"What about you?"

"As for me..." Diluka smiled slyly, "I thought you were a bad person at first, but after getting along for so long, I found that you are a good person."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't give out good guy cards casually." Good person? Richard smiled. When you see your sisters fall with your own eyes, will you still say that I am a good person?

Diluka looked around and her mood had become cheerful. Richard asked, "Are you still confused? If so, tell me quickly. Don't let the soldiers see your previous face."

"Yes, I know."

Diluka turned around with a radiant face and full of energy. Under her command, the Pegasus Legion re-formed a neat formation. Diluka looked at them and nodded her head with satisfaction.
