Chapter 414: The Luo Lin Empire Will Not Perish Just Like This! (Superior)

After the round table meeting, the formation of a new knight order, the Knights of Uriel, began in full swing.

The Knights of Uriel mainly recruit troops from the western region of the empire, and the central government plans to recruit 150,000 soldiers before the end of next summer.

Regarding who will serve as the leader of the Uriel Knights, the central government plans to put it aside for now and not rush to select the leader of the Uriel Knights.

We haven't even recruited enough soldiers yet, so why rush to choose a regiment leader?

While the recruitment of the Knights of Uriel is underway, the empire is also working on restoring the strength of the two knights, the Knights of Rachel and the Knights of Michael.

After the two offensives of "Spring Awakening" and "Summer Wind", the Rachel Knights suffered nearly 50,000 casualties.

Not to mention the Knights of Michael. After experiencing the northern defense operations in 288 two years ago, they were defeated by the Holy Hiran Empire and only had 70,000 people left.

Because the Britannia Empire during this period focused on the east and south and had no time to take care of the Michael Knights who were responsible for the northern front, the reconstruction of the Michael Knights has been put on hold.

In the past two years, the Knights of Michael have maintained a strength of 70,000, and no new soldiers have been added.

Only now, after two offensives, "Spring Awakening" and "Summer Wind", have completely crippled the Rollin Empire in the south, has the Britannia Empire finally been able to pull out its legs from the south and devote its energy to dealing with the north. things.

The central government plans to restore the Knights of Rachel to its original strength of 200,000 before the end of this year, and the Knights of Michael to restore its strength from the current 70,000 to 200,000 before the end of next summer.

The Knights of Rachel mainly recruit troops from the south of the empire, while the Knights of Michael mainly recruit from the north of the empire - mainly recruiting troops in the north.

In addition to the Rachel Knights and Michael Knights recruiting troops, Allen's armored warriors are also recruiting.

The performance of the armored warriors trained by Allen in the "Xia Feng" offensive made Ge Zewen very satisfied.

So in addition to letting Allen continue to be responsible for training and commanding the armored warriors, Gozevin also ordered an expansion of the army, increasing the total strength of the armored warriors from 3,000 to 4,000.

The military expansion of the Britannia Empire is in full swing.

Just as the Britannia Empire was in full swing building and strengthening its military, and Su Cheng and his party were galloping on the road to the north——

Luolin Empire, the imperial capital Tuli, in front of Baal's mansion.

…

It's morning now.

Today's morning is cloudy.

The sun hides in front of thick dark clouds.

There is a thin mist between the sky and the earth.

In front of Bal's mansion, there were two old men, a middle-aged man and two young people standing.

"Balta... still hasn't come out today..." Deni looked at the closed door in front of him, "Has Balta still not come out from the haze of defeat..."

"How can it be so easy to get out..." Leo, standing next to Denis with a look of loneliness on his face, said, "This time is not an ordinary small defeat... Not only did he lose tens of thousands of elite , and also lost a large area of ​​territory and population. The northern defense line, which cost a lot of money, was completely surrendered to the Britannia. The next time the Britannia wants to attack us, they will be able to do so unimpeded. We do not have any fortresses. It can be used to stop the Brittanians from going south, but we will only be able to stop the Brittanians with our flesh and blood..."

Speaking of this, Leo sighed.

"Mr. Barr must be blaming himself... He failed to fulfill his duty to protect his country and watched the enemy invade and occupy the territory of his motherland..."

As soon as Leo finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but recall that a few months ago, after being defeated in the Battle of Feihai and retreating to Lixi City, they learned that the empire had signed the " The scene during the Treaty of Troyes.

Barr's heart-rending cry at that time,

It seemed to be echoing in everyone's ears again.

Many people's eyes turned red again.

After the Treaty of Truva was signed, the generals led by Barr led the remaining army to withdraw from the city of Lixi in despair.

After returning to the imperial capital of Tuli City, they were extremely angry at the defeat they had suffered and were determined to punish them for the crime of defeat.

The generals headed by Denis had no complaints about being punished.

After all, those who win are rewarded and those who defeat are punished—this kind of thing is so natural.

As for what kind of punishment they will receive, the Luo Lin Empire Central Committee is still discussing.

However, Denis and others no longer care about what kind of punishment they will receive.

Denis and others are now most concerned about Barr's condition.

Barr has been in despair since he learned that the Treaty of Troyes had been signed.

After returning to the city of Tuli, Baal locked himself in his home, seeing no one and going nowhere.

Denis and others, who were very concerned about Barr's condition, would come together almost every day to see if Barr had come out of his home.

Denis and others would occasionally encounter Baal's attendants who were responsible for purchasing ingredients and other supplies.

From the mouths of Baal's attendants, Deni and others learned that since Baal returned to Tuli, he locked himself in his room and never left his room, and only let his attendants put food and other things in the room. Just the door of your room will do.

Therefore, Baal's attendants don't know what Baal is doing now.

I only know that Bal is still alive, because every time the food placed at the door of his room is eaten clean.

"sorry……"

At this time, a young male voice with a hint of crying suddenly sounded.

"If it weren't for our incompetence that allowed Su Cheng to bypass Mayin City, the Battle of Feihai would not have been lost. If the Battle of Feihai had not been lost, the struggle against the Britannia Empire would not have been lost. …”

"I've already said it, no need to apologize, Eugene."

Denis turned his head and comforted a young man with red eyes standing behind him:

"Every snowflake is responsible for the occurrence of an avalanche. The reason for the failure of a battle is not just due to the mistakes of a few people. Each of us is responsible for the defeat of this battle, so don't You have apologized to us, so instead of having time to apologize, you should use this time to adjust your emotions and find ways to prevent yourself from suffering such a big defeat again."

The young man who was crying and apologizing to Denis and others just now worked together with Luo Xie to defend Mayin City in the later stages of the battle, but in the end, Su Cheng was allowed to directly circle the city and climb mountains until he was defeated in the Battle of Feihai. Ou Ren still didn't know it.

Although many generals in the army came to Barr's mansion to see Barr's situation, only 5 of them came every day.

These five people are exactly Denis, Leo, Charles, Eugene, and Roche.

At this time, Luo Xie, who was standing next to Ou Ren, had red eyes just like Ou Ren, and his face was full of self-blame and shame.

Since the end of the battle, Eugene and Luo Xie have been blaming themselves and have been apologizing to Denis and others.

Although Denis and other seniors have been comforting them, telling them that they don't need to apologize to them or feel guilty about the past, Eugene and Luo Xie still can't let go.

Because the two of them felt that they were directly responsible for Feihai's defeat.

The two of them were fooled around by Su Cheng throughout the whole process. They thought they had successfully blocked Su Cheng's East Route Army from Mayin City, and they felt complacent about it.

Unknown to everyone, Su Cheng had already commanded a large force of the Eastern Route Army, boldly bypassing Mayin City, crossing the Tipinning Mountains, and rushing to aid the Feihai Plain.

It was precisely because they misjudged the movements of Su Cheng's East Route Army that the two men conveyed wrong information to Barr, causing Barr to mistakenly believe that Su Cheng's East Route Army was really blocked outside Mayin City and was unable to come to rescue Fei. The battlefield at sea made Balta relax his vigilance towards Su Cheng.

Later, they learned that Su Cheng had already led the Eastern Route Army to bypass them and successfully arrived at the Feihai battlefield, causing Luo Lin's army to be defeated in the Feihai battle. How much psychological pressure did they feel on Ou Ren and Luo Xie? , you can imagine how much you will blame yourself.

Looking at Eugene and Luo Xie, who were standing behind him with their heads slightly lowered and their eyes red, as if they were ready to shed tears at any time, Denis smiled bitterly and turned around, intending to comfort them with a few more words. hour--

"Finally... found you... Long time no see, Ou Ren, Luo Xie and all the seniors."

——A familiar male voice suddenly came from beside everyone.

After hearing this male voice, everyone—especially Eugene and Luo Xie—suddenly opened their eyes and turned their heads to follow the sound.

Beside everyone stood a man who was dusty, covered in dirt, and had unkempt hair.

Although his face was so dirty that it was impossible to see his facial features clearly, everyone still recognized him.

"Jill?!"

——Eugène and Luo Xie exclaimed in unison.
