Claude always feels a little awkward when he looks at Mike now. This boy has become his cheap brother-in-law, and his beautiful and well-behaved sister has become this boy's wife. When he thinks about it, he can only say that this boy is a loser. Shit luck. By some mistake, or it could be said that good intentions paid off, my sister Anna was forced to run away from home by her mother's pressure to get married, so this guy McJack took advantage of it and became the son-in-law of the Field family.
On the other hand, his younger brother Blovik was very happy. Every time he saw Anna moving McJack around like a dog, he would crack his lips with joy. Now that someone has replaced him and been taught a lesson by his sister, he is very happy, so he does not object to Michael becoming his brother-in-law at all. Instead, he thinks that if he marries his sister Anna, his life will be miserable, and tracheitis is certain.
If Anna wasn't a magician, then McJack would definitely think this marriage was perfect. He himself never imagined that he would become Claude's brother-in-law. He had never coveted Anna and thought that he would have any relationship with this proud young lady. Or maybe it was the inferiority complex of living on the streets begging for a living when he was a child. He never regarded himself as a person with the same status as Claude, even though he has now become an official lieutenant officer in the kingdom.
In Mike's heart, he regarded Claude as his master. It was Claude who took him in, who was helpless in the military camp, and taught him how to survive and develop in the military camp. He learned to read and write from Claude, learned various military skills, and became an excellent kingdom officer. He became Claude's most trusted and respected adjutant, and he therefore dedicated his loyalty to Claude. .
When McJack was young, he followed a crippled old tramp to beg in the town. He heard the old tramp and the drinkers in the tavern talking about magicians. Those people often used to scare McJack to play tricks on him. The magician liked to do the most. What he did was turn people into frogs, sheep, monsters and so on, which left a deep psychological shadow on him. So when he found out that Anna was a magician and he was tied up like a rice dumpling, what he was most afraid of was what he would become.
As a result, he did not turn into a frog or a monster, but Anna became his wife. This was a beautiful thing that he had never dreamed of. Apart from the fear of facing Claude's anger, McJack was more surprised. But no matter what, Mike has unknowingly reduced his fear of the magician. As long as Anna can become his wife, he doesn't care whether the magician is evil or not.
During the war, everything was simple. Since his sister insisted on marrying Michael, Claude certainly had no right to object to this good thing. It's just that it's not the right time to hold a big wedding, so just seven days later, Claude took some friends from the military camp to Greno Castle, the capital of Anphiston, and held a ceremony for his sisters Anna and Mai at the Temple of the Moon in the city. Jack held a very simple wedding ceremony and sent his blessings.
However, since the war was imminent, McJack did not get a wedding holiday. All this would have to wait until the Rangers destroyed the Panclair Army and the Crado Army and recovered all the lost territory. Sister Anna has to temporarily live in Lanhu Town. When the war is over, she can take her husband home and give her mother an explanation.
On May 11, the Ranger Division led the overseas field corps to approach the camp of Panclair's corps. Since the reconnaissance cavalry of the Panclair Corps had been suppressed by the 131st Ranger Battalion, most of the Ranger Division remained undetected by the enemy until they were ten miles away from the camp. General Michelich made a prompt decision and ordered all the soldiers of the Ranger Division to mount their horses, transform into light cavalry, and raid the camp of the Panclair Army.
Panclair's army was divided into two parts at the time, one stationed in the camp, and the other launched an attack on Porto Patres, the capital of the demesne of Robisto. The enemies stationed in the camp were unable to withstand the swarming light cavalry, and were quickly overwhelmed by the defensive positions, and their camp fell into the hands of the Ranger Regiment.
Without the logistical supplies that the garrison camp could provide, most of the Panclair Army, which was besieged under the city of Port Patres, persisted for three days before finally raising the white flag and surrendering to the Rangers. The Ranger Division suffered only minor casualties in this battle. General Michelich then led the Ranger Division and a division of the Overseas Field Corps to directly attack the Krado Army in the Beringana Direct Territory.
The enemy had learned of the destruction of the Panclair Army, and the Crado Army withdrew its troops from attacking Bricaman City and set up three defensive fronts around the town of Ginco. However, due to the huge gap in combat power, equipment, morale, etc., the Krado Army was unable to resist the siege of the Ranger Division. After only three days of defense, soldiers from the Ranger Division broke into the town and separated the enemy on the defensive position into two halves. Both front and rear were attacked, and destruction was imminent.
In particular, Claude, as the combat staff of General Michelchi, learned from the experience and lessons of his failure to lead the 131st Ranger Battalion to attack the logistics base in Ginco Town, and commanded the artillery unit of the Ranger Division to destroy the advance. All the houses in the direction allowed the attacking force to smoothly divide the enemy in Ginco Town into two, and then attack from the front and back, forcing the enemy to rush out of their position, launch a helpless counterattack towards the attacking force, and then become targets one by one. knocked to the ground
The battle lasted for a total of seven days. Most of the Claydor Army suffered casualties. The remaining troops had no choice but to surrender to the Rangers after they ran out of ammunition and food. Claude wanted to find the enemy officer who arranged the artillery position, but after interrogating the prisoners, he discovered that the staff officer of the Crado Corps who arranged the artillery position was hit by artillery on the house on the second day of the battle, and the collapsed house would He was buried under the rubble, and when he was dug out, he was already stiff.
In just one and a half months, two enemy legions were annihilated, and the Ranger Division became famous. Immediately afterwards, the Ranger Regiment built a pontoon bridge at the ferry with great fanfare, while quietly setting up three heavy field artillery positions along the ferry.
As expected by General Michelich, the Hicks Kingdom's Sea King Fleet Nubissia Continental Squadron launched a large-scale deployment. Seven warships and eleven armed merchant ships sailed along the Dolinibara River and approached the Beringana Direct Territory. ferry, preparing to destroy the pontoon bridge and bombard the Ranger Regiment's camp. As a result, he fell into the trap set by General Michelchi. Three hidden heavy field artillery positions opened fire at the same time. The enemy's fleet had no way to avoid it on the Dolinibara River and became a living target.
This battle between battleships and field artillery lasted for an hour and a half. The enemy fleet abandoned four battleships and eight armed merchant ships and turned around and fled in despair. But this does not mean that they can safely return to the Port of Vibato where they started. The Port of Patres, the capital of the Robisto Territory, has long placed twelve heavy field artillery pieces to blockade the entire Dolinibara. At the mouth and channel of the river, when the enemy fleet comes, the purpose of not firing cannons is to close the door and beat the dogs.
The unprepared enemy fleet was once again bombarded by heavy field artillery. After only more than half an hour of artillery battle, only one heavily damaged armed merchant ship of the enemy managed to escape from the Dolinibara River. The fleet of the Sea King Fleet deployed by the Hicks Kingdom in Vibato Port was completely annihilated, and all seven warships sank in the Dolinibara River.
Without the threat from the sea, the Dolinibara River was no longer a thoroughfare for enemy fleets. The Ranger Regiment led the Overseas Field Corps across the Dolinibara River in mid-June, swept across the territories of Robisto and Beringana on the other side of the river, and recovered all the lost towns. At the end of July, he entered the last lost Overseas Territory of Cromwell, swept across the territory, and captured the capital, Wickham Castle, in mid-August. At this point, the Rangers have recovered all the lost ground.
"General, why don't we attack the enemy's Vibato Colonial County and instead station ourselves at the border? If we capture the enemy's Vibato Port, the enemy will lose its only military port and will no longer be able to send troops and logistical support to the slaves. Bisia Continent, the entire colony of Hicks Kingdom will fall into the hands of the Kingdom."
Vibato Colonial County was the former colonial territory of the Kingdom of Nasseri. Because of the huge debt owed to the Kingdom of Hicks, this colony had to be used to repay it. As a result, the Kingdom of Hicks obtained the only excellent port in its colony on the Nubisian continent, enabling it to transport troops and supplies to suppress indigenous rebellions in their kingdom's inland colonial territories.
After regaining the Cromwell Overseas Territory, the Rangers were stationed at the colonial border between the two countries and no longer marched towards the Vibato Colonial County of the Kingdom of Hicks. The senior officers of the Ranger Corps raised doubts about this at the division's military meeting, and unanimously agreed that they should take advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy's Vibato Port, cut off the enemy's reinforcements from the Falea continent, and defeat the enemy in Nubisia. All colonies on the mainland were brought under the jurisdiction of the kingdom.
General Michelich could only explain to everyone with a wry smile: "Gentlemen, our Ranger Division has recovered all the lost territory and eliminated the enemy's Panclair Army, Crado Army, and all enemies in the lost territory. The garrison, as well as the Vibato Port Squadron of its Sea King Fleet, are expected to destroy and capture more than 250,000 enemies in total. This is a very heavy blow to the Hicks Kingdom. They have lost Two-thirds of the troops stationed in the mainland colony of Nubisia.
Speaking from my inner wish, I also hope to march into the enemy's Vibato Port and bring all the colonies of the Kingdom of Hicks on the Nubisian continent into the kingdom's hands. But no, strict orders were issued from above prohibiting us from entering the enemy's colonies. The reason is very simple. Our Rangers are here to teach the Kingdom of Hicks a harsh lesson, rather than to anger the Northern Overlord of Farea Continent and start another life-and-death battle with our Kingdom.
If we occupy all the colonial territories of the Kingdom of Hicks in the Nubisian continent, then the most likely result is that the Kingdom of Hicks will form an alliance with the Kingdom of Nasseri and the Principality of Karnas, and once again stir up trouble in the eastern part of the Farea continent. War. This would be a devastating disaster for the kingdom, which had only been a few years after the end of the war and was slowly recovering its vitality. Because none of us can predict whether the kingdom can still win the next war.
Now the special envoy sent by our kingdom to the Kingdom of Hicks should be on the way. The best outcome is that the Kingdom of Hicks accepts this lesson, reaches a peace truce agreement with the kingdom, and restores peace and tranquility to the Nubisia continent. If the Kingdom of Hicks is still unconvinced and wants to compete with our Kingdom, then as long as Vibato Port is under their control, they will only send reinforcements to the mainland of Nubisia and will not turn their attention to it. Turn to the kingdom itself.
Since our Ranger Division can defeat the enemy once, no matter how many reinforcements the enemy sends again, we will continue to defeat and destroy them until the enemy cannot bear such huge losses and bows to us and admits defeat. Gentlemen, do you have this confidence?"
"Yes." All the officers participating in the military meeting stood up and responded loudly.
General Michelich was very satisfied with the effect of his speech, so he assigned the officers participating in the military meeting their respective tasks, which were nothing more than training overseas field legions, building various defense facilities, and setting up several overseas territories directly under the rear. Continue to recruit troops and prepare for the worst-case outcome.
The mission that Claude received was very simple, which was to return to the Amphiston Territory and expand the 131st Ranger Battalion into a regiment. The required soldiers would be selected from among the civilians of the various territories directly under the jurisdiction of the Territory. Combat effectiveness will be formed within half a year.
In fact, during the battle in which the Ranger Division destroyed the Panclair Army and the Clado Army, and recovered all the lost territory of the demesne, the 131st Ranger Battalion only played the role of a scout light cavalry, with almost no casualties among officers and soldiers. Just as Colonel Severit said, before the main force arrived, you, the 131st Ranger Battalion, had already stolen the show and made countless meritorious deeds. Now it's finally their turn to go into battle, so don't come here to take the credit.
At the end of October, the 131st Ranger Battalion returned to Lanhu Town in the Amphiston Territory. They will expand here into the 131st Ranger Regiment and select suitable young civilians from the recruits recruited from the rear territories. Enlist in the army, start training for new recruits, and decide on the organization of your subordinate field camp. Things are very busy, but for Claude, the most important thing is to send his sisters Anna and Michael home to visit relatives, so that his mother can fulfill her wish.
This time, McJack received a family leave of up to six months, of which one month was a back-up wedding leave and one month was a round-trip trip. Just the night before their departure, Claude took his brother Blovik to the cabin rented by his sister Anna, and spread out two drawings in front of her sister Anna.
Claude said to his sister Anna very seriously that these were the drawings of the two weapons he designed. He hoped that her sister Anna could help him study it with the alchemy magic talisman after returning home. McJack could help from the side and use what he had mastered. Military skills and weapons knowledge to solve puzzles for sister Anna. Claude wanted to do his own research, but because he was in the military camp, it was really inconvenient, so he had to ask his sister to help him.
The first drawing is a schematic diagram of a long-handled grenade. This drawing is relatively simple. The difficulty lies in the setting of the fire device and the delayed explosion throwing time. The second drawing shows a revolver. The biggest difficulty lies in the bullet, cartridge case and firing.
Claude no longer had any hope of developing a flintlock gun first, so he simply skipped to the revolver. He once watched a Western movie in which the protagonist used a small stamping device to make his own lead-tipped bullets, put a primer at the bottom of the cartridge case, inserted gunpowder, and set the warhead, and a bullet was completed.
Although the range of the revolver is not far, Claude believes that if his sister Anna can help him develop practical bullets, then the day of saying goodbye to the matchlock gun will soon be over. Of course, no matter whether the weapons on these two drawings can be researched or not, the most important thing is to keep them secret and not let any outsiders know l0ns3v3
