Chapter 324 Meeting (Part 2)
Meetings of the Council of Nobles are less interesting.
A group of people are sitting around a long table. There are chairs of good texture next to it, and a servant brings up milk tea, which has a faint aroma, but it makes people look refreshed.
The nobles were discussing things while drinking milk tea.
Even the viscount is only the relative host, not the leader who can directly assign tasks to everyone, and Sir Shaka, the representative of the royal family, is also present.
Romon doesn't like to speak on such occasions, so he has been listening quietly.
However, because he had six hundred cavalry and five knights under his command, his strength was second only to that of the viscount, so his low profile did not make others ignore him.
At the meeting, many nobles expressed their opinions and debated endlessly. The Viscount suddenly turned his eyes and looked at Romon: "Baron Tetashaw, what's your opinion on this?"
"The situation is unknown now, I think. We should do a reconnaissance and probing, this is the most important first step!" Romon said flatly.
This statement immediately made Sir Shaka's eyes brighten, and also made several God of War priests turn their heads.
Although this is simple, it is the correct way of war.
"Baron Tetashaw, you are a druid and mostly cavalry, you can come and go freely, can you act as a vanguard?" the viscount asked politely.
Romon didn't expect that the other party would let him act as the vanguard. He glanced over and saw the royal representative Sir Shaka who was sitting next to the Viscount smiling at him. Seeing him looking over, he nodded slightly.
Considering Sir Shaka's suggestion, Romon decided to express himself, so he agreed: "Viscount Edel, I am willing to be the vanguard."
"Well, we will wait for your good news." Viscount Edel was very pleased, he laughed and said.
Now that the most dangerous work has been done, the following work assignments are easy, and the meeting arrangements are completed without much time, so Romon got up and left.
In the afternoon of the same day, after lunch, Romon received some supplies from the coalition forces, and then gave the order to send troops.
At this time. Romon discovered that the texture of the tents in the Viscount's barracks is very luxurious, which may not be intentional, but at any time, it can show its noble status and sufficient wealth.
In contrast, other nobles, including their own camp tents,
They are much more shabby, they are all practical and functional, but their appearance is not very impressive.
This small town is the only way to the baronial territory of Moham. Moreover, there are dense forests on both sides of the town, so it is more difficult to pass through.
Romon's army was all cavalry, and it took an hour to pass. For the sake of safety, they didn't go too deep into the enemy's territory, and it was dusk. The sparsely populated situation began to appear.
After all, the place where the demon army is entrenched is not too far away, and the original villages nearby have long been abandoned by people. Even if there are some dilapidated houses, there will be no one in them.
The soldiers were a little tired after driving for nearly a day.
Seeing the situation, Romon knew that he could not continue on his way, so he ordered to camp in place.
When it comes to camping, it is very simple. There are more than a dozen open carts accompanying the army, all of which are some daily necessities of their army. Except for some necessities that will be provided by one party during the war, other supplies need to be collected by the army. .
The things needed for camping were also prepared by Romon himself. Following his order, the people immediately got busy in full swing.
Moreover, the chosen open space is really good.
There is a clean water source not far away, it is pure spring water, and there is a distance from the forest and mountains, so that it will not be attacked by the enemies in the forest. Looking at the environment of the camp, Romon is very satisfied.
Everyone worked together, and it was really efficient. With the carts as a barrier, a camp was set up, and soon, military tents were set up one after another.
They will set up camp here tonight. spend the night.
Some people immediately started cooking in an open space.
Several large pots were also set up at the same time, and the pots were filled with water.
There are trees around, and naturally there is no need to search for burning materials in the distance.
Plus they're next to water, so it's easy.
Someone put some dried meat, ingredients, and dried vegetables into the pot. As the temperature of the water continued to rise, the water in the pot began to boil, and slowly, the aroma came out.
This is a kind of broth that soldiers like to drink most. Because it is made of very dry raw materials, it can be carried on the body, and it can be soaked and boiled when eating.
There were still some clean bowls on the covered cart, and people spontaneously took wooden bowls with their own names engraved on them, which were cheap and not easy to break.
Finally, before going to the cauldron, I spontaneously filled the soup. They carried dry food with them, and while drinking the broth, they ate the dry food, all of them eating with gusto.
Not all soldiers can enjoy this kind of treatment. The lords of many territories are out of ideology and financial problems. Although it's not that they don't treat soldiers as human beings, their treatment is far inferior to Tetashaw's.
As the lord, Romon didn't give any special treatment at this time, but someone just opened a small pot, and the broth and jerky were relatively exquisite, which was of course much better than soldiers.
After eating and drinking enough, the sun had already set, and a group of people followed.
"My lord!" These were of course five knights, and several chaplains. Priest Pakinla was also among them. He had already stabilized the third level, and this war was his opportunity—if he could rise to the fourth level, he would have sufficient reasons and qualifications to preside over the temple in Panshi Town.
In the early summer of May, the sun was already very poisonous during the day, but he had been mentally prepared for this day, and he also had some problems. Seeing everyone coming over, he cheered up.
"Romon, what's your plan for the battle?" Farfell, who also participated in the noble meeting, was slightly surprised by Romon's performance, so he asked directly.
Romon smiled, didn't speak for a while, turned his face to look, and asked, "Knight Warwick, what's your opinion?"
Although the Romon military group is headed by Farfell, in fact Warwick is the number one. He is from a knight family and is a seventh-level knight. His quality is far above everyone else.
With Farrell becoming a Lord and having a semi-independent status, Varwick's status in the Romon Group has also risen.
At this time, Warwick was a very strong man in armor, 1.8 meters tall, with a slight beard stubble on his face, which made him more heroic and mature. Hearing his master's inquiry, he said: "My lord, this place I’ve been here before, and it’s relatively safe now, the front is the demon-controlled area, I think we should move forward cautiously and never divide our forces. Limited exploration is better.”
"Oh, tell me the details." Romon was very interested.
"Yes, advance cautiously, that is, not go too deep into the enemy's territory. Never divide the troops to prevent the demons from encircling and suppressing them. Limited scouting means sending a few cavalry to scatter around for reconnaissance."
"A small number of cavalry scattered around for scouting, isn't that just dividing up the troops?" Sukar asked.
"This level of division, even if there is a loss, it will not affect our knights." Warwick replied without hesitation.
Luo Meng couldn't help but nodded, and looked at everyone: "What's your opinion?"
The knights present thought about it, and they all expressed no objection. After all, it is okay to fight demons, but if you risk heavy casualties, the people present are not so great.
"Okay, I will implement it accordingly, and I will also send lightning to patrol the surroundings, and even if there are any mistakes in the marching route and plan, I can make up for it." Romon finally concluded.
After a pause, he said to Su Kaal again: "The reconnaissance on loose horses will be carried out by you."
"Yes, my lord, I understand." As soon as Sukar explained the tactics, he expected to receive a similar task, so he agreed without hesitation.
Seeing that Luo Meng was speechless, everyone bowed and left.
Looking at their backs, Romon rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
What he recalled was the situation at the meeting just now. According to his feeling, there are at least three knights around the viscount at the sixth level, and there are a large number of guards around the fourth level. It seems that the strength of the viscount is far stronger than he expected. It is even higher, and any noble who climbed to a high position should not be underestimated!
However, more importantly, it was a person who attracted attention.
This man was with Ser Shaka.
Everyone left, but Farfell stopped.
"Fafel, this time I talked with the representatives of the royal family. If I can make meritorious service this time, I may be able to merge the territories and become a Viscount." Romon said.
Farfell suddenly realized that he only needed Romon's attitude. He slapped his legs happily, and there was a clanging sound on his armor: "This is a good thing. If you become a Viscount, then we will be in the county as well." Top five."
"This matter is not as easy as imagined, but I believe that if we work together, we can get it done." Romon said with a smile.
"Romeng, don't worry, since you have this opportunity, you must seize it, and I will urge you." Farfell said.
After talking for a few more words, he left satisfied.
Looking at his back, Romon smiled and said nothing.
There are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things.
Even friends from childhood, at this time, will have some ideas, and will naturally form their own circle of interests. This is very normal. Farfer became a lord. On the one hand, he gained semi-independence, and on the other hand, he will gradually It's normal to be excluded from Romon's inner circle.
Romon didn't have any addiction to cleanliness, or any thoughts of betrayal. On the contrary, he wanted to control and appease the process—not stop it.
Then, just to do business, he called lightning in telepathy.
A moment later, lightning flew and descended on his surroundings, almost extinguishing the surrounding fires.
Even if Lightning is a familiar, it still maintains its wildness. It has some fear and repulsion towards flames, so it grumbled.
"Lightning, go, scout the surroundings, and report the situation at any time." Romon said seriously, he didn't want to capsize in the gutter, if he really met the main force of the demon, he would be called a fool if he fought hard and ended up taking advantage of others. (!)
