Chapter 1093: Horse Herding (Part 2)

Low morale naturally leads to low combat effectiveness.

If it weren't for Allen's skillful control, the army under his command would have collapsed due to low morale.

In fact, as early as when Allen launched the mutiny on the banks of the Yeni River, the morale of the entire army was already gradually declining.

The generals didn't understand why they had to turn back, why they wanted to attack Pendragon's city, why they wanted to attack the capital...

Although some officers at the level of captains and squadron leaders are already aware of what Allen is doing, due to Allen's power, they can only pretend not to know, pretend not to know that they are rebelling now... …

The generals of the Uriel Knights and the Armored Warriors are not Allen's personal troops, so Allen cannot announce to the entire army with great fanfare that he has decided to rebel and will take them to destroy the Britannia Empire. .

Allen could only keep talking vaguely, fooling his generals: the reason why they wanted to turn back and attack all the cities along the way was just to annihilate the enemy.

Most of the generals of the Uriel Knights and the Iron Armored Warriors are illiterate and have no ability to make their own judgments. Therefore, they can only obediently follow Allen, their old boss, and obey his orders.

Allen relied on the fact that "most of the generals in the army had no judgment and could only follow him and trust him" to control the entire army and make all the generals obediently follow him to destroy the Britannia Empire.

However - Allen also knew that there was a huge risk in doing so.

Allen now has a big worry.

He was very worried that among the Uriel Knights and Armored Warriors under his command, there were some captain-level officers who had long known that he was rebelling, but were forced to pretend to be blind due to his power. They decided not to pretend to be "blind" anymore and decided to launch a campaign. uprising.

This is what Allen is most worried about right now.

In comparison, Su Cheng led the Michael Knights southward - this matter is not what Allen is most worried about now.

Because Allen firmly believed that it would take a long time before Su Cheng could successfully lead the Michael Knights to return reinforcements. No matter how fast Su Cheng went south, he could not threaten him now.

——We have to think of a way to deal with a possible uprising in the army...

Allen looked at the map in front of him and thought to himself.

at this time,

The knight who had not yet left the camp after reporting today's battle damage and results statistics, seemed to have remembered something, raised his eyebrows, and then said to Allen:

"Coach Allen, there is no need to put the cavalry into the battlefield now, so in order to save fodder, I would like to suggest - how about taking some of the horses to a place with rich water and grass to graze?"

After listening to the knight's suggestion, Allen thought for a while and then nodded:

"Well, that's fine. Let's allocate half of the horses to graze first."

Now that it has fallen into a quagmire of street fighting with Pendragon's garrison, the cavalry no longer has much use.

Since he didn't have much bravery, it was a good thing to set aside some of the horses to graze and save some fodder in the army, so Allen decided to adopt the knight's opinion.

Although the fodder and various fine materials used by the horses in the army are sufficient, they are not enough for Allen to squander freely. However, it is always good to save some forage and fine materials.

"You will be responsible for this matter." Allen then said to the knight, "Select half of the war horses in the army to graze. As for the grazing location..."

After Allen pondered for a while, he said:

"Just pull it to the bank of the Chavel River. The water plants there are good and suitable for grazing."

Chavel River - A large river that flows a short distance south of Pendragon.

The river flows from east to west and flows into the sea. It is a famous river in the Britannia Empire.

"Yes!" The knight responded loudly while performing a military salute, "Coach Allen, do you have any other tasks for me to entrust to you?"

"Well... not yet."

"Yes! Then I will resign first!"

After the knight left the tent, Allen turned his attention back to the map in front of him.

"How to deal with a possible uprising in the army..."

Then he muttered to himself at a volume that only he could hear clearly.

…

…

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Treasury Defense Area, Central Treasury Building.

Treasury Defense Area - The area of ​​defense that Jacob was responsible for.

Central Treasury - just from the name, you can see how important this place is.

In order not to support the enemy, before Allen's rebels came to the city, only enough supplies were left in the treasury for the defenders in the city, and the rest of the supplies were all transferred to several cities in the western part of the Britannia Empire.

The central treasury is actually a building complex with a large number of tall and large buildings that store a large number of different types of materials.

The tallest, largest and strongest among them is the Central Treasury Building.

The Central Treasury Building is not used to store any supplies. The Central Treasury Building is actually the office location of many departments such as the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Food, and the Ministry of Armament.

With a total height of 103 meters, it is one of the tallest buildings in Pendragon. Its total height is second only to the main palace of Baiyang Palace and the clock tower of the Central Coach Station.

Jacob was currently in the central treasury building, listening to today's battle damage statistics.

Bankro and Jacob guarded the Central Treasury Building and its treasury defense zone together, so Bankro also sat next to Jacob and listened to the war damage report that had just been counted.

When he learned that the war damage in their treasury defense zone today was not very serious, Bankro's expression relaxed.

"Fortunately..." Bankro said softly, "Although the battle today was fierce, our casualties were not many."

"It's just..." However, Bankro suddenly changed his tone, "Although we still have some strength now, if we continue to consume like this, sooner or later we will not be able to hold on."

"Well." Jacob nodded grimly, "Yes."

"Alas..." Bankro sighed, "I don't know how far the envoy responsible for borrowing troops from the Duke of Connaught is from the Duke of Connaught... Hmm? What smell..."

Bankro suddenly sniffed.

Because he suddenly smelled a strong smell of medicine.

Bankro looked over following the smell of medicine.

He found that the source of the smell of medicine was actually on Jacob.

Jacob was playing with a round object wrapped in medicine paper at this time. The strong smell of medicine came from this round object.

"Jacob." Bankro frowned, "What is this thing in your hand? Why is the smell of medicine so strong..."

"Oh. This..." Jacob was silent for a few seconds and replied, "It can be regarded as medicine."

"'It can be regarded as medicine'? Yes, it is, no, it is not. What does it mean to add 'it can be regarded as'?"

"... Because from some perspectives, this thing can't be regarded as medicine." After saying that, Jacob smiled bitterly, and then put the round object with a strong smell of medicine back into his pocket.
