Chapter 830: Military Hill and Newly Arrived Supplies

“Since learning of the victory at Marenbo, Miss Carrie has taken three days off…”

“But after returning to school, she behaved much better and stopped being late every day. Her moral character score quickly returned to above 90 points…”

“Among the female classmates, she is becoming more and more popular and has won the support of many people…”

Listening to the news brought by Bonard from the rear, Jeanne swung her gloves: “Can Carrie still be honest? She must be up to something bad…

Brother, where did this Carrie come from? I wanted to see her before but she wouldn’t let me. Why is she going to school again?”

Horn, however, scanned the battle report in front of him without even looking up: “She has been in Black Snake Bay and only came here recently.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me?” Jeanna walked around to Horn suspiciously, bent down and looked at him sideways, “Also, where did Meliati go?”

Although his back was soaked with sweat, Horne had been trained and his expression remained normal: “She is recovering from her injuries. She is seriously injured.”

“Recover from injuries? Then…”

Seeing that Jeanna was about to ask more questions, Horn immediately interrupted her: “How is the appointment and promotion of officers going?”

When it comes to business, Jeanne naturally becomes serious: “So far, all the promotions and transfers have been completed. Here is the list, please take a look.”

Jeanne reached back and a privy nun handed her the list.

Pick up the roster and you can see the number of troops and officers currently under Horn’s control.

After the Battle of Malenbo, Das took advantage of the situation and headed north, while the Laiya army had to strategically retreat and recover a large number of lost territories and small fortresses.

But after March, the offensive gradually came to a halt.

War is not a game, there will always be casualties and loss of morale.

Moreover, Lavle also sent out the Imperial Order Company to attack everywhere.

This group of knights, who had extraordinary endurance, great mobility and a penchant for small-scale escapades, caused considerable losses on the front line.

The original offensive had to be suspended in order to restore organization, morale, personnel and equipment.

Taking advantage of this window period, several previously disrupted battle groups were purged and reorganized.

After several reorganizations and reorganizations, there are currently six regiments capable of being deployed to the front line under Horn’s military system.

In terms of infantry, there are Monse’s Guards, Victor’s Black Crowns, Andre’s Iron Fist, Das’s Faithful (Mountain New Army) and Jeshka’s Wolf Regiment (Norn New Army).

Some of these regiments are fully staffed while others are understaffed, totaling around 23000 men.

The cavalry regiment and the Holy Grail Cavalry Regiment led by Jeanne totaled about 1600 people.

The rest of the troops included 8000 mountain knight infantry and 5000 cavalry, totaling about 13000 people.

As for the rangers and hussars, there were 600 rangers led by Grush and 1500 multi-purpose hussars led by Murat.

With this calculation, the Holy Alliance’s front-line military strength actually reached a terrifying 39700 people.

Excluding the mountain knights who were temporarily unable to go into battle, Horn also had 26700 frontline soldiers under his command.

These 26700 people are composed of more than officers of various ranks. An officer as defined by the Holy League is the chief officer of a team of at least people.

With the addition of two new regiments, a large number of officer positions naturally became vacant, and they were promoted from the original two regiments of the Salvation Army.

It’s not that there are no military talents in the two chapters, but that their military talents are not up to standard.

There are literacy classes within the Guards and the Black Champions, and most soldiers cannot even become squad leaders without a literacy diploma.

In order to improve, the literacy rate within both chapters soared to nearly 50% in four years.

Able to read military orders and discipline, able to write simple battle reports, and able to understand tactical instructions.

This is what Horn requires of the grassroots officers of the Holy Alliance. Bravery and intelligence come second.

Like the Wild Wolf Regiment, most of them are veteran officers brought over by Jeshka from the Black Champion.

The Chongxin Regiment was composed of officers brought over by Das from the Guards.

Although the two regiments have their own characteristics due to their different composition, they both have obvious tendencies.

“Do we need to attack this kind of mountain in the army?” Horn did not answer Bonard’s words, but looked at Jeanne: “Jeanne, what do you think?”

Jeanne frowned and thought for a moment: “The soldiers of the Salvation Army are the soldiers of the Salvation Army, not the soldiers of Jeshka or Das.

There is no personal dependence between officers and soldiers like there is between knights and squires.

Wherever there are people, factions are inevitable. Even a team of a hundred people will have several small groups within it.

Therefore, the hills in the Holy Alliance are very different from the hills in the traditional sense and will not affect the battle itself.

Instead of sending people to warn and crack down on these groups, it would be better to send more monks from the Holy Way to combat the old idea that soldiers are the retainers of officers. “

After hearing what Jeanna said, Horn couldn’t help but stand up, leaned out half of his body and touched Jeanna’s head: “You have grown up, and you are no longer that little girl.”

“I’m also attending the literacy class and the military academy, okay?” Although Jeanne pushed Horn’s hand away, her words sounded like a spoiled child.

She has been involved in military affairs for four years. It is impossible that she has made no progress like Horn’s breathing method, right?

Maybe it was due to his limited talent, or maybe Horn was too busy, his breathing method was still at the second stage.

There was a lot of monster meat that was tributed from the Black Snake Bay, but Horn sent it to feed the Holy Armor Guards and the Holy Grail Musketeers.

While the two were still flirting, a privy monk quickly approached and whispered something in Horn’s ear.

“Montyak? Why is he here?”

…………

At the dock of the detention dock, Horn, who was smiling but not smiling, and Montejac, who was smiling but not smiling, shook hands firmly.

“Your Holiness, I am here to deliver relief supplies on the orders of His Majesty Charles VIII.” As he spoke, Montejac handed over a list.

“Shouldn’t it be 100,000 gold pounds? Why are there 20,000 more gold pounds?” Glancing over the list of supplies in his hand, Horn thought he had read it wrong.

Unexpectedly, Montejac laughed and said, “This depends on your layout of the windmill land.”

The moment Horn saw Montejac take out “Yilin” from his arms, he immediately understood.

The headline on the front page of Yilin was “The Kingdom of Leia suffered a tragic defeat! More than 100,000 casualties!”

Montejac looked at Horn with emotion: “Your Armand is really resourceful. In just one year, the Windmill Land is full of the Holy Way faith.”

The Leia people, the main force in Windmill Land, were expelled, and the remaining Aiel people would not make things difficult for the Holy Way monks who were in the same camp as them.

As a result, the Holy Way faith, which had been repeatedly suppressed throughout the empire, actually spread to Windmill Land.

Coincidentally, the Leia people were fighting with the Thousand River Valley and had no time to suppress the rebellion.

The faith of the Holy Way has already burned the entire Windmill Land like a raging fire, and Armand has even begun to operate in the open.

Then we know where the 20,000 gold pounds came from. It must be the money given by the people of Windmill Land.

This is equivalent to people from all over the Leia Kingdom throwing money at the Thousand River Valley Holy Alliance in order to drain the blood of the Leia Kingdom.

“In addition to these 20,000 pounds, King Charles VIII also has a gift.” Monteyark smiled and handed a list to Horn.

Horn unfolded it and saw that it was a roster with the names of various craftsmen and citizens.

Monteyak said without any embarrassment: “They are all rebels, craftsmen and citizens from cities all over the country who are resisting taxes. They are sent to you. Isn’t it a coincidence that your sugar factory and hot spring city are short of people?”

“You are waiting for Qianhegu to lose in the future, so that you can have a reason to interfere, right?”

“Hey, don’t say it.”

Horn waved his hand unhappily: “Anything else?”

“No, no, there’s one more thing.” Monteyaq stepped aside, revealing Venise, Abaz and others with bitter faces behind him.

“His Royal Highness Charles VIII learned of your great victory, and Prime Minister Lorenzo was even more impressed by your oblique attack tactics.

So we have specially organized a military observation group. Can we make it convenient for them to go to the front line to observe the military operations?”
