Section 42 Strategy

"What?"

"It's that Komo, nothing wrong!" Med clenched his fist hard. "It's the Saint Knight who betrayed my elder brother. In order to prevent mistakes, I also deliberately tried him. He has now become the leader of the Saint Knights!"

"What? Master, you..."

"But I can't do anything now!" Med suddenly felt angry. "Even if I want to deal with him, it's impossible. The Queen Mother of Shem has entrusted him with the power to command the army, and the troops of Oren City are coming in a steady stream... Oh my God, it makes me disgusted when I think of fighting side by side with those despicable sacred knights! Maybe I should lead the troops to leave here quietly! Since the Shem people have sacred knights, why should I be bored here?"

"If you retreat now, how do you explain to His Majesty the King when you go back?" the old servant asked softly.

"Indeed..." Maide lowered his head. "If I do something that goes against the Lord's order, I will make my family a laughing stock for everyone, and my elder brother will shame me..."

He stood up anxiously, "But if you fight under the command of that kind of person and obey the orders of the bastard who murdered my elder brother! It would be better to let me die!"

He stopped and suddenly faced the old servant again.

"Uncle, have you witnessed everything you just said with your own eyes?" he asked again. "For example, the dispute between my elder brother and Ke Mo..."

"I was outside the camp... Young Master, they spoke very lightly at first, and then suddenly a few words sounded in the middle... and then the conversation ended, and Ke Mo left. I thought about it carefully afterwards and was sure that only your elder brother had a dispute with him at that time."

"Half the rest of the matter was witnessed by myself, and the other half was heard by me from others. After I escaped in the sand pit... I was lucky enough to meet the messenger who was taken away. Because I knew him, he could not argue, and finally he could only admit to me that Ke Mo forced him to withdraw with him. But later the young man died in the war... Because I secretly found the young man, Ke Mo must not know that the secret of the betrayal had been leaked."

"You haven't told anyone except me."

"Never, Master, I dare not talk about such things!"

"Very good, uncle. I think I know what to do!" A ferocious look was faintly revealed on Meade's fat face.

At this time, in another castle not far away, Ke Mo was listening to a report from a subordinate.

"So, Tulan's reinforcements were mainly composed of the private soldiers of the Mede family? This is a problem, and it can't even be replaced by someone." Ke Mo frowned.

"It's not considered a private soldier, but a Wang family army. But the Maide family has been governors for generations, commanding the army and taking charge of one side. The middle and lower levels of the entire army are confidants promoted by the family, so he has an absolute influence on this army. If you don't pass through him, you may not be able to command this army."

"How could King Tulan allow such a thing?" Ke Mo smiled at his subordinates in front of him. "Aren't you afraid of backlash if you lose the actual control of the army?"

"I heard that their family has been loyal to the royal family for generations, so they are very trusted. They have never had any infidelity, nor have they tried to expand their power, and they have fulfilled the responsibility of a minister. For example, this time, the resistance to Green Skin is completely unprofitable, but only with the king's order, Maid personally led his troops to support Shem. His loyalty is beyond doubt."

"He has no doubt about his hostility to me." Ke Mo threw away the document in his hand. "The fat man blamed me for the death of his brother's army, because his brother's troops were wiped out, and my team was the only one who survived." He smiled again, because he remembered a secret in this matter.

If Med knew this secret, he would not know what expression would appear on his fat face. Ke Mo thought with interest.

"However, although he is hostile to me, he still seems to obey my command. After all, he must be loyal to his king." Ke Mo thought for a while. "I think he is fat, but he will not publicly violate my orders. And even if he doesn't like me, I can't do anything to him for the time being."

In fact, this is the case. Even if you try to use the power of the church to make King Tulan agree to change the generals in the last battle, it will lead to the elite cavalry being half-hearted and depressed, and unable to exert their true combat power. On the contrary, if you keep the fat man, Med, may be pushed and four, if you issue an order with strict authority (of course, this will definitely make Med more hostile), it can be implemented intact.

In comparison, the latter is better. At least you can be mentally prepared. If the former is, you can't tell at all how much impact it will have.

When his subordinates left, Ke Mo alone measured several things in his heart. He sighed. Alas, neither side was a good man, and this matter was really impossible to take any tricks, so he could only handle it seriously and fairly. He did have the intention to make full use of the Shem and Tulan army to reduce the losses of the church army, but now he can only give up this idea first.

Ke Mo turned his gaze outside the window. The heavy rain had just stopped, but the drizzle was still continuing.

I don’t know how much impact this heavy rain will affect... If the scope is large enough, it will undoubtedly lead to major floods. This is not only a problem of river flooding, dam breaking, and the crops that are about to mature will be ruined. This year’s Shem will bring a major disaster year, and it will be difficult to endure this winter. This heavy rain will greatly hit Shem’s national strength. If the Shem people want to spend this winter, then the power of the church will become an important support. The church comes forward to negotiate the price of purchasing food from other places... Organize caravans to sell food... quell the panic among the people... In short, the church will take this opportunity to further extend its tentacles to all aspects of this country.

In fact, Komer always felt that the church's policies needed to be fine-tuned. Although the church had dominated the faith of the people of the seven kingdoms, Sham must treat it in particular. After all, Oren City - the holy land of the church - is located in Sham. Therefore, the church's grasp of Sham is still not reliable enough, so the previous incident of the Sam royal family trying to get involved in Oren City.

Taking advantage of this victory, coupled with the inevitable disasters afterwards, it is really a golden opportunity... No, don't think about it so much first, defeating the Greenskin Legion first is serious.

Ke Mo was actually very confident about this. According to comprehensive analysis of information from all aspects, the total number of invaded green skins should be around 70,000 to 80,000, including all orcs and goblins. The army gathered in Ke Mo's hands already had 70,000. And everyone knew that the combat effectiveness of the human army was higher than that of the green skins. In other words, he already had an advantage in military power.

More importantly, he was fully aware of the future trends of the Greenskin Army...Ashu Rufate did not have a smooth channel for communication with humans, so he should not know that the messenger was killed and the secret letter fell into the hands of others.

An officer walked into the room and reported to Kemo.

"Captain, all the troops have arrived and the camp has been arranged."

"Well, it's great. Where is the camp?"

"In a high-level open space next to the castle. However, this kind of rainy day may make the soldiers' lives very difficult. In addition, there is also insufficient supply."

"Well, I understand. Come on!" Ke Mo shouted loudly, and a messenger walked into the room.

"Send orders to hold a military meeting tomorrow and arrange a combat plan."

The next day, when heavy rain began to fall again, Kemo held his first military meeting in the reception room in the center of the castle. All the high and middle-level officers attended and stood a room full of people. And as agreed before, the Queen Mother was excluded from the meeting.

The necessary polite words and opening remarks ended soon, and Kemo stood beside a huge hanging map and looked at the crowd. They might be prejudiced, hostile, distrust or something about him, but at this moment, everyone must obey his orders.

"Everyone, it is necessary for us to discuss the next step of action. I think we should leave here and retreat eastward." Kemo poked on the map.

After he said this, he immediately caused a commotion among the Shem people. It was already quite dangerous to block the Green Skin here. Further retreat was equivalent to indulging Green Skin to act freely on the Shem territory. This was already a great plain. In fact, Green Skin could ignore them at all and go straight to the north and south, and go whatever they wanted.

"Genius General," finally someone expressed his objection. "What should I do if the green skin goes north... or goes south?"

"I am 100% sure that the Greenskin boss will never go north or south. They will chase us closely and want to have a decisive battle with us. Before that, the Greenskin boss will not have any other ideas." Ke Mo replied. Perhaps it is more appropriate to attribute this information to an oracle, which is false and real, so that they can't touch it... Forget it, don't use this trick. This method is simply blasphemy. "Of course, maybe a team of Greenskins will spread out and plunder everywhere. We must be mentally prepared for this. But this will also reduce the pressure when we fight."

"Even a small team can cause great damage!" Someone protested.

"For the final victory, sacrifice is always inevitable. And we have plenty of time to evacuate the nearby villages and towns, right? Sacrifice has been reduced to a minimum. After we eliminate the main Greenskin force, it is no problem to eliminate these sporadic squads."

No one spoke, and it was hard to tell whether Ke Mo conquered the opponents with his confidence and demeanor or logic, but in short, no one spoke.

"Isn't it better to defend here based on the castle? Let's consume the enemy further." Someone also made an opinion, and Kemer noticed that this was not a Shemman, but a sacred knight.

"It's not good for defense here," Komer replied. Everyone except the newcomer of Oren City, knew this very well. "Although the castle is large, it is not strong and has insufficient fortifications. In addition, the rain has had a great impact on the transportation roads behind us, and the supplies cannot be transported. It seems that there are several castles for defense, but in fact it is similar to nothing, or even worse. We should retreat immediately."

"But on such heavy rainy days..." Someone put forward a new view.
