Chapter 1048: Operational Priority
When Orthea explained that launching an attack on the Slaanesh camp without authorization might leak intelligence, Oliveira did not blame him.
This kind of thing is too common, and he has never thought that his commanders must report everything they say and do to him.
Micro-management only needs to stay in the theoretical stage. The legion commander only needs to control the general direction and hand over the specific matters to the remaining commanders. Then he should pick up the sword and stand in the front to fight.
Otherwise, why is it called the Blade of Caledor.
However, this point was also secretly complained to Juan. There is an obvious conflict between the duties of the legion commander and the Kingdom Blade. The former needs to ensure safety as much as possible, while the latter must fight in the front.
But Juan's words made him suddenly enlightened, "Just learn from the prince, hold a military meeting in advance, hand over all the matters at the command level to others, and then rush to the front line yourself.
In other words, if you kill all the enemies, do you still need to command?"
This makes sense, but it is very impractical. Not everyone has the strength of the prince. At least the Blade of Caledor is not sure that it can go through twenty moves in front of the prince.
But Juan's words still gave Oliveira some inspiration. He began to organize military meetings of the top leaders of the legion, and tried to clarify the authority of each commander as much as possible, especially the authority of elves and humans.
According to the tradition of Caledor, the legion commander naturally sits in the main seat, and the side seat is the chief of staff who has been added in recent years.
When it came to the command level, Oliveira found it a bit difficult. The commanders of the two legions of Wind Howling City gave up their sovereignty to Orseya.
This is normal, after all, he may be the future city lord, but Orseya is actually a cavalry captain, and suddenly he became the second person in the legion.
And the more embarrassing thing is still to come. I don't know who invited Filonia to the military meeting, and vowed that the logistics statistician has the right to know the war trends, so as to facilitate the allocation and transportation of materials.
The human side is quite simple. A veteran who has participated in the Badlands Campaign has a gray beard that is almost as long as a dwarf.
The human veteran looked at the two female elves opposite him with doubt in his eyes. Orseya's temperament is difficult to disguise. Under her beautiful long hair, there is an lingering strong bloody smell, but the other one...
To be honest, he thinks she is more of a weak elf who is good at art. She looks more like a noble lady than a soldier.
Supervisor? That shouldn't be the case. I haven't heard that Caledor has this system.
He suppressed his curiosity and thought that the legion commander should explain the purpose of the military meeting first.
After seeing that all the people were present, Oliveira didn't say much. He took off the black dragon helmet and put it on the table. "Today, I called you all together to discuss some conflicts between the responsibilities of the legion commander and the Kingdom Blade."
"We all know that the new legion was commissioned to deal with the Slaanesh Demon Prince Azazel. For most races, a demon prince with many tribes and warbands under his command is a big enemy, but for Caledor today, it is just a local battlefield."
"What do you mean?" Orseya was a little tentative. From what Oliveira said, it seems that he doesn't care much about this demon prince.
"Lord Masno sent me urgent intelligence, hoping that I can get rid of Azazel as soon as possible. The battle with Druzy on the front line is getting more and more urgent, and the warriors are in urgent need of the encouragement of the Blade of Caledor.
But war is not a matter of a moment, especially the confrontation with the forces of Chaos. We cannot tolerate any northern barbarian with tentacles staying on the land of Terenlok. Even if the demon prince is defeated, it will still take a long time to deal with the residue."
Okay, Orseya finally understood what this meeting was for. Who will be responsible for doing the dirty work? After defeating the main force of the Slaanesh believers, stay in Terenlok to conduct security battles.
The human commander is also an old hand. Security battles are characterized by low intensity and high frequency, which is an extremely troublesome job.
For the Kislevites, if a bandit takes a hostage, the first thing they consider is how to kill the bandit, rather than thinking about holding the hostage's life. They are not born to do this kind of work.
The veteran spoke first, "Captain of the Legion, human soldiers are not familiar with the situation in Ulthuan. The entanglement with the followers of Slaanesh will make the soldiers who can exert a combat power of 100 instinctively only exert a combat power of 60 or even 40.
I believe that Ms. Ortheya must be more patient than the irritable human soldiers to deal with these damn Slaaneshi elements."
"Mr. Orladimir's words are somewhat reasonable, but it is precisely because we are more familiar with Ulthuan that we urgently need to follow the Blade of Caledor to the more important front.
A corner of Terenloc can be slowly restored over time, but the battlefield of Nagaryth needs every bit of strength."
Why don't we go together... Orladimir wanted to say so, but it was obviously meaningless. This was planning the long-term development plan of the Legion.
Which side has the priority to fight.
With Oliveira as the middleman, he was not worried that Ortheya would be favored. In the final analysis, it all depends on strength.
As an elite corps secretly organized in the New World, Orladimir is confident that it is not inferior to the soldiers of Wind Howling City.
"The determination of Lady Kislev is not inferior to any other force. We only need an opportunity to show the power of the Caledor people to His Royal Highness."
"Tal Windwhistle City has been loyal to the court and the Caledor family since ancient times. It has always been the most trusted minister of the prince. If it is absent from such an important war, it would be like letting a dragon lose its wings and giving up its natural advantage."
Oliveira complained in her heart, your father is the dragon prince who symbolizes Wind Howl City, and he is currently entangled with Malus Blackblade and Tyrion at the Dragon Gate.
However, he looked at the dispute between the two and knew that it was impossible to reach a conclusion at the moment. He still had to kill the followers of Slaanesh and see how the results of their respective battles were decided.
When the legion commander wanted to persuade, Filonina, who was a transparent person, raised her hand weakly.
"Um, can you listen to me?"
Orsiya had no objection to this, while Oladimir complained slightly, muttering a few words in Kislev.
Philonina looked around at everyone present and said slowly,
"You are all fighting for Caledor, why bother worrying about who should go to Nagareth with the legion commander first? We should choose the right people and stay in the right place. Someone will always make sacrifices, why just Can’t do it yourself?”
What you said is just as useless as if you didn't say it at all.
Oladimir originally wanted to veto it, but to his surprise, Althea actually nodded in agreement and agreed, "Indeed, Filonina's words make sense. Fengxiao City cannot sit back and watch the friendly territory be threatened. It must Kill every follower of Slaanesh."
Philonya was quite happy to receive the reply, and looked at Oladimir with some expectation, "Mr. Oladimir, what do you think?"
"I……"
The attendant suddenly stepped forward and whispered a few words in the commander's ear. After learning the relevant information, Oladimir changed his previous attitude and said sonorously,
"This is natural. Everyone should contribute voluntarily. Otherwise, how can the kingdom be strong?"
My mother, it turns out that the real backer is this little girl. In order to protect her, the palace directly sent fifty dragons and an entire team of demi-griffon knights...
