[West Fantasy] The noble lady who was divorced became rich

"what is that?"

It is also strange to say that just as the mercenaries set up their positions, the Cantero army's rear feet appeared in the visible place of the telescope, and there were also scouts trying to figure out the real number of enemy troops.

"How is it? Is there any camouflage equipment?" The old mercenary tried to see the size of Cantero's army through a gap the size of a fingernail.

"There should be confusion magic on those flags." Arenian leaned against the mud wall, listening to the movements of the Cantero Army.

"They stopped."

Hearing this, the old mercenary opened a pair of bull's eyes and looked into the observation hole the size of a fingernail, only to see that Cantero's army really stopped, as if hesitating whether to advance.

"The Obsidas won't be ready to go so soon!" The leading lieutenant general Cantero hesitated for a few seconds, and reported what he saw and heard on the front line to the general behind him.

"It's not necessarily Obsta's army standing there, it may also be mercenaries from the north." After all, Cantero's general is more knowledgeable than his deputy, so he quickly judged the "true face" of the enemy : "If it is the latter, then it will be more difficult to deal with."

Regardless of the large number of people in Cantero, but the march here is already exhausted, trying to hang on to the stale air that can't be caught, just hoping that the next capture point can be more oily and watery.

Although there are many surrenderers in the south of Obsta, the hard-nosed soldiers and civilians still make up the majority, so when they retreated, they burned the food and households that could not be taken away, which directly lengthened Cantero's logistics line.

"When will the troops from the west join us?" Since Seyes is following the geoencirclement route, after cutting into Obsta's south, it is necessary to guard against the enemy cutting their supply lines in the same way.

It was precisely because of this that Seyes divided the front-line troops into two, knowing that now he would no longer be able to enjoy the benefits of the Wangcheng Rebellion.

"According to the inference of His Majesty, the Duchess of Brittania should concentrate her main forces on the central line in the north." Cantero's chief general did not agree with the king's move to divide the army into two, but considering Se Iss is a reliable person who led the Cantero people to reverse the situation, so I can only choose to continue to trust him: "Considering Obsta's petition to the Pope, the Duchess of Brittany will go to Orb Star King City will give a public speech, so the defenders of the King City will never rush to the front line."

…………

"Based on what I know about Seyes, he likes to gamble on the issue of life and death. Either he will win the world, or he will be defeated and die." When chatting with the captain of Obsta's garrison, Marianna was unequivocal. Politely complained about Seyes's diode thinking: "It is conceivable that after Cantero broke through Obsta's western defense line, he would never attack recklessly, but divided his forces on the southern center line. two."

"Why?" Although the captain of the garrison was still respectful to Mariana, he didn't believe the eyes of a 16-year-old girl.

Yes, Mariana has just passed her 16th birthday, but under the turmoil in various countries, she herself has no mood to celebrate her birthday, let alone those social animals who are too busy to touch the ground.

"Because he wants to catch me." Mariana said decisively: "He is betting that I will go to Obstar King City to give a public speech, so the main force of the garrison, even the main force of the southern garrison, will be concentrated in Orb Star's southern center line."

"That is to say, Cantero's main force will continue to attack our country's western cities."

"No, it's a double-team attack." Mariana said calmly, "If nothing else happens, Seyes will stay in the troops attacking the west, so we only need to defeat Seyes' troops, Then cut them off when Cantero's troops from the east came to the rescue."

The captain of the garrison watched as Mariana's finger slid down from Obstar's royal city, directly pushing away a pawn representing Cantero's army.

"What Seyes is most worried about now is that I will cut Cantero's supply line from the east or in the middle, and then close the door and beat the dog." Mariana told several garrison commanders and military generals about her deduction. He listened, and then expressed his trust in them and humbly asked for advice: "As you can see, I am just a 16-year-old girl with little knowledge. I don't have the experience of a military strategist or the ingenuity of a strategist, but I am the granddaughter of Queen Mary."

Mariana's originally calm tone suddenly turned aside, as if she deliberately emphasized her blood relationship with Queen Mary, trying to awaken the memory of these old generals about Queen Mary and the glory days of Obstar.

"I will stick to the glory of the Dynasty of Lorraine and Dunawa." Mariana straightened her back, her tone and eyes reminded her of the late Queen Mary: "The Cantero people must be ashamed of their stupidity." Pay the price."

"..."

The generals present knew very well that Mariana was talking empty words. After all, how could a 16-year-old girl rekindle hope for the exhausted Obsta.It's just that after King Obsta's brain damage and successive failures, both nobles and ordinary people hope that a real Dunawa, the real heir to the Lorraine Dynasty, will lead them out of despair.

And Mariana certainly fits that profile.

Especially with the addition of her parents and grandparents, she originally only had three or four points of personality attractiveness, but it was pulled down to six or seven points.Especially after Obsta's generals made a simple comparison between Mariana and the two deceased princes, they felt that Princess Karda... seemed not as bad as they thought.

Different from the imperial councils who wanted to evade the new ruler, the military's idea is very simple, that is to find a reliable and assertive one.

Considering the particularity of military power and its collision with the political power and royal power, it may not be a good thing for the military to be too high.After all, if you read less about history, you will understand that those kings who have their suspicions written down in their bones are the three types of people who love to use them to scare others—power ministers, finance ministers, and big men in the army.

Of course, there are also people who hold the simple thinking that "revolution comes from the barrel of a gun" and "everything can be crushed with an army".

But the fact is that under the ancient feudal system and the social concept of "the vassals of my vassals are not my vassals", most of these are the second sons, third sons, and even officers from the sidelines, so it is difficult to control the military power.Because the soldiers still belong to the lords of their birthplace in name, the lords of the soldiers have the right to recall the residents of their fiefs without the edict of the ruler.In addition, soldiers from all over the country will not serve all year round, but return to their hometowns regularly for part-time jobs, so it is almost impossible for officers to cultivate their own cronies, which also makes them very eager to exchange military merits for titles.

Under such circumstances, it is more in the interests of military officers to have a ruler who can call the shots and who can suppress interest groups everywhere.At the same time, they also hope that the other party can listen to their own suggestions.

After all, if the king or queen loses, they will not admit that they are wrong, so everyone here must know who the blame man is.

"For the sake of Obstar's future and to reduce the pressure on the frontline troops, I have decided to postpone the public speech on the ruins of the royal city, and will not let the garrison stay in the royal city." Mariana did not understand the detailed military layout , so I can only think more about other aspects: "In addition, in order to prevent the Cantero people from turning around to the central region, it is best to evacuate the old, weak, sick and disabled in the central region in advance."

"Yes." The generals wrote down Mariana's proposal, and then conducted more detailed combat discussions.

………………

"What do you think of my performance just now?" Mariana breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the battle hall, and asked Abigail in a low voice, "I didn't show timidity or say anything inappropriate, did I?"

"How should I put it! You have performed very well, and you can be called a high-end figure of Queen Mary." Unlike the generals who were relieved, Abigail felt very uncomfortable with Mariana's appearance of trying to get closer to Queen Mary. : "Be careful to sink deeper and deeper into Queen Mary's shadow, and then make the Obstacles subconsciously demand you with Queen Mary's standards."

"Of course I know the danger of taking advantage of the situation." Mariana touched the pearl earrings that did not match her age, and after some hesitation, she took off this set of grandmother jewelry borrowed from her mother: "You said Yes, I shouldn't be hiding in my grandmother's shadow.

Abigail saw that Mariana didn't look like she was joking, so she said nervously, "You, don't put too much pressure on yourself! I'm talking nonsense, nonsense."

Listening to Abigail's voice getting smaller and smaller, Mariana couldn't help teasing, "Why, you're scared."

"Scared! It's not me who got hurt anyway." Taking advantage of no one around, Abigail stomped her feet, never acknowledging that she was worried about Mariana.

Bai Xue, who was hiding in Marianna's sleeve, seemed to sense Abigail's anger, so she stretched her head out and circled between Marianna's index fingers, and then awkwardly bent into a loving pose.

"Pfft! Who taught you this?" Mariana supported Bai Xue's body with her other hand to prevent him from falling off her fingers.

"Who cares, as long as you are happy." Abigail looked at the gray sky and the dimmed roof of the building through the hollow decoration of the promenade: "I have been frustrated for so many days, I should The next rain will clear the mood."

"That's right!" Mariana thought of the mercenary team she had sent as a bait, and said meaningfully: "I hope there will be unexpected harvest after this rain is over."

"Better beat that bastard Seyes to the ground."

Regardless of whether it is due to the national standpoint or personal feelings, Mariana will not make Seyes feel better.

for sure.
