Albrecht gave the soldiers a couple of days' rest, then gave 10,000 troops to Randolph and sent them to Herman.
The troops were Landolf's Territory, Calterns of Albrecht, and Erbin's Knights.
Ile de Velez was left with 5,000 troops, including the Near Kings and warriors of Hrrolf, the territories of Wilhelm and rangers of Anglia.
Wigg used the old way of carrying the lord, knight, and soldiers' families, so his maneuvers were very slow. So if you do well, Randolph should be able to get to the battlefield faster.
Albrecht did not go directly to the battlefield but remained in the city to immediately respond to the rapidly changing environment.
You sent warriors and rangers to scout the woods around Ile de Velez, and you attracted news from all over the world.
Among the creatures living in the forest, the weakest started to be pushed out of the forest, and the weakest was man.
They were mostly bandits and gunmen Albrecht had seen before, and some of them were wildlings.
It was obvious that those who were abandoned from the world or fled from the world would come out of the forest and do it.
The way of the people has become dangerous and the surrounding populated city is fine, but remote villages have begun to be attacked.
Moreover, it was a disaster if only one Orc appeared in a small town. Refugees have broken out and are flocking to large cities and villages.
Refugees formed a slum in the metropolitan area, and the city's crime rate increased.
The human world was worse than I thought. Monsters are coming from the other side of time, Albrecht is at war in the west, and Hestein is struggling with Ragnar in the east.
Perhaps Albrecht himself was too strong, leading an army to catch monsters, and it seemed nothing.
In order to recover the world from chaos, we needed the human hand again. Albrecht did not like mercenaries very much, but hired them because he had no choice. I could not cover it all by dispatching an army around the world.
In conjunction with Carfen in Wrightingen, the Sulphur made a swift proclamation. Aside from buying magic stones, I was told that I would pay for everything in the Imperial Court if I brought Goblin ears or Orc molars.
Furthermore, the Adventurers' Guild has been extensively renovated to establish Adventurers' Guild Branches throughout the North Continent.
Albrecht only wants people to be able to stop him on their own, just as he had originally planned. And I decided to stop them from doing what they couldn't.
First, we had to distinguish between areas where people lived and areas where people didn't. Thus, Albrecht continued to work with Lightingen to gather information from all over the North.
However, Albrecht was not an expert in everything in the world. Albrecht began to make a mistake in a place he had never imagined.
Mixing only good things together did not necessarily mean that the results were good.
For example, the cake was tasty and the salted scenes were tasty, so mixing the two made it not only tastier food, but food waste.
Albrecht thought that Randolph and Hermann were too optimistic to handle the wig on their own.
It was probably because he had the most war experience among the martyrs under his command, and in combat he was the only two who said they were to come out of the empire.
The problem was that the rank of the Commander-in-Chief would be obscured by the two of them. After all, it was an army with two heads.
When we follow the wrong commands uniformly, we sometimes get good results, whereas even the best orders have the worst results.
Thus, an army was essential and fundamental to a pyramid centralized system that stemmed from only one vertex.
Albrecht let Randolph and Hermann know each other better than he did when we first met.
While under his command anyway, he did not care much because he obeyed orders in his place.
Besides, Randolph and Hermann had known each other for a long time, so it was true that they both felt very special.
However, he was not close enough to concede command.
Soldiers were spitting out white breath because of the cold weather in November. High, clear skies spread with light clouds like feathers of birds.
Early in the morning, the sun, which had not yet appeared in the world, revealed its existence, watering the horizon sky with purple, blue, and bright light.
A light but restless wind passes through the soldiers' cheeks and nostrils. The grim wind seems to dull the sensation of your face as it blows.
A flag of an empire with black twin eagles on its golden base, three crossed swords behind its shield and helmet, a flag with the bear's tongue torn off to the right and a sword drawn up and down on both sides, and various flags representing each family on its flag.
All of those flags were the traditional support base of the emperor and the flag of the northern army, meaning the most powerful in the world.
The flags fluttering in the cold winter breeze felt uneasy, like someone's mind was swaying around, rather than majestic.
Then a shout came from inside the command barracks. It was Randolph.
“Why can't you attack!? The Emperor is busy now! We have a lot of work to do and a lot of work to take care of! ”
“Fuck you! We have more men than we do, and we can't attack our enemies up on the hill! No matter how ignorant I am, I know that! ”
At Randolph's shout, Hermann shouts, "Leave the encampment."
“If you are ignorant, do as I say! ”
“Neither are you ignorant! ”
After Randolph joined, they fought for a long day. Since the two heads couldn't eat each other, knights and soldiers' deception was not a word.
Just as human nature is revealed when driving, military operations used to bring out a different nature.
Hermann was usually a reckless and impatient man, but his military operations were very cautious and he preferred a good march. Randolph, on the other hand, prefers thunderous maneuvers and aggravated attacks.
From the time of the Crusades, perhaps Albrecht has used Randolph as a cavalry commander and Herman as a foot soldier, which was different from what he had learned.
Herman's words are also not very wrong. Herman values supply above all else.
Despite different circumstances, Albrecht always emphasized the importance of supply, and Herman embraced it like the truth.
Moreover, Hermann has been living with the soldiers, so if he does not eat confidently, he feels more skin than anyone else can fight properly.
Of course, it was prone to pros and cons. It's good to be sure about the supply lines, but the march is too slow and you just let the point of attack flow.
Randolph and Hermann grunt at each other with a table with a map in the center.
Randolph stares at Hermann like a wolf with an impression.
“I have come at His Majesty's behest. Follow my lead. ”
Hermann turns his head, not looking at Randolph, sitting on his seat.
“I have orders from the Master, too. ”
Randolph was crazy and jumpy.
“How many times do I have to tell you that you're busy with monster problems right now! I'm disappointed that those bastards scared me. Hermann!”
Then Herman got up from his seat and opened his eyes.
“I'm warning you, if you say one more fucking word, you're gonna die today and I'm gonna die! Fighting is a matter of life and death! And it's winter!”
“Winter is also the winter when the Wrightingens fight in the fields! I told you I had a plan! ”
“That's what makes it possible! I'm not imitating you! ”
Randolph takes his hand to the hilt of the sword in the gear nose waist dance. It wasn't pulled, it was just a flutter.
Hermann looks at Randolph with no fear at all.
For a while, Randolph stares at Hermann, grumbling and staring at Randolph, standing like an old man.
Whether Randolph's head is cooled by the cold air of winter, Randolph takes his hand off the hilt of the sword. Then he takes a couple of deep breaths and breathes.
“From now on, I'll be on my own. You must defend this place after conquering all of Veles. ”
Then he turned around and roughly opened the tent of the command tent and went out. Outside the barracks, the knights and soldiers were looking at the barracks with a worried look.
While Randolph and their eyes meet briefly, Randolph takes his gaze off the ground and heads for the troops he has brought with him.
The soldiers feel like the winter breeze is getting colder, pulling on their quilted armor.
Wiggs, who joined the Picardi army, totaled 16,000 troops, and Randolph and Hermann combined were 15,000.
Hermann was originally stationed on a hill against the Picardi, a long hill leading up to the ridge. You guard the Supply Depot by dividing your troops around it.
On the other hand, the hills where Picardi and Wigg are stationed were scattered, not leading to ridges. Digging a trench and trench, the hill where the wick sits is like a fortress.
Herman says there are more troops, and attacking fortified enemies seems crazy.
But Randolph was more convinced than ever since he fought the Lemmings.
Like Albrecht, Zhong Zhongji-dong was not capable of what he could do, and he seemed to be doing very poorly around the corner even during the bilateral war.
However, the enemy encampment was occupying a small forest to the right, and to accomplish an extraordinary feat, I decided to raid the side of the enemy through the forest, as I would have to do in an extraordinary way.
Randolph considers the point of attack and decides to attack at dawn due to white winter fog.
About two weeks after joining Hermann, November was almost over. Randolph attempts to embark on his white horse to start his march, but Erbin, the Licence Knight Leader, approaches and speaks to him.
“Sir, it's winter and the fog is too thick to maneuver. Arriving in the area won't be easy to form. ”
Randolph, a master of the two knights, and Erbin, a master of the three knights, had military operations together on the Eastern continent long after Albrecht left.
At that time, Randolph went on a night raid to turn the war upside down, and the night was so dark that he wanted to be ruined, but Ervin could barely make it.
Randolph was right about the bear. The fog at the time of the Battle of Lemmings was not as dark as it is now, and the dawn was brighter than it is now.
“I think you're right. Then let's move when we have some visibility. ”
“I understand.”
The knights and soldiers who woke up from the dawn were already in formation, but the march was delayed and they were forced to stand still.
I wasn't tired because I rested long enough, but I felt like my body was getting heavier even though the fog made my quilted armor wet.
