Chapter 725

Wolf Giles was very angry!

Dirk Doyle, the wizard he had high hopes for, led a thousand of his most elite warriors to Lion Harbor.

They were planned to be a sharp knife that would stab the Northwesterners in unexpected places, and then work together with Collins' allies outside the city to capture this small but wealthy city in one fell swoop.

But the wizard failed the Duke's expectations, he failed, and ran back shamefully.

Doyle was lucky enough that this was the critical moment for His Highness the Duke to recruit spellcasters, so the Duke did not punish him too much, but just reprimanded him severely.

Giles did not naively think that as a powerful lord ranked among the top in the Kingdom of Aldo, Paul Graman could not even investigate the person behind the scenes after being attacked by thousands of people.

He must be prepared to deal with Graman's anger before he investigates everything clearly.

But the Grand Duke did not expect that Paul Graman knew it so early.

The Northwest Bay merchant who came to Wuyang City handed him a handwritten letter from Paul Graman.

The content of the letter stunned the Grand Duke Tanlang.

Graman first said: You did it, I know.

He expressed his indignation and severely condemned Giles.

But the problem is that at the end, the words seemed to reveal a certain meaning - if Giles could give a generally reasonable explanation, the matter would be over.

This...

After reading it for the first time, Giles rubbed his eyes and read the words on the letter carefully again with great doubt.

In the end, he came to the following conclusion: Either this is a conspiracy, and since it is a conspiracy, he cannot believe it; or Graman encountered some difficulties. Since he encountered difficulties, wouldn’t he let himself control it?

After careful consideration, Giles thought the latter was more likely, because the territory controlled by Graman was close to the orcs, and those grassland barbarians were not easy to get along with.

So he decided to send a stronger force to conquer Lion Harbor and take the wealth while Graman was too busy to look south!

It must be fast. After a failed attack, those greedy and timid merchants might be busy transferring the wealth away.

He wrote a reply letter and sent someone to the Northwest Bay.

Paul was enraged!

He made a last effort for peace, and was severely trampled by Giles.

Giles unscrupulously mocked Paul's cowardice in his heart, and bluntly said that he would let him see the cruelty of the real world as the price of repeatedly refusing to recruit.

Such a domineering attitude reminded Paul of Maltz Kent many years ago, the bastard who would be struck by lightning even if he died!

Since he defeated Maltz Kent, took control of the Northwest Bay, became a guest of the royal family, and became a hero who stopped the orcs, everyone was respectful when they met him, no matter how much they hated him in their hearts.

This long-lost sense of humiliation has not appeared for many years!

This sense of humiliation makes him full of energy, makes him excited, and makes him secrete dopamine...

No matter how sincere Paul's peace efforts are, Giles will pay the price!

Hansel Abbott was sent to Jingyao by Paul, and a military advisory group led by Claude went south with him.

When the news of their arrival in Jingyao reached the palace, King Rodney XVIII laughed happily.

With the help of a large number of military tickets, Rodney XVIII formed a considerable army, an army that was completely controlled by him and not constrained by others.

However, after learning in detail about the performance of the Arda army in the war with the orcs, the king was no longer satisfied with building an army of the old era.

How to improve the power in his hands to the level close to that of the Arda army in the fastest time, at least in terms of the quality of the soldiers, is the most concerned issue for His Majesty the King.

The best thing is that a group of experienced officers will guide his army - now the king's dream has come true.

The officers of the advisory group, now they should be called instructors, carefully observed the king's new army. They were satisfied to find that at least the food provided by His Majesty the King to the soldiers should be quite good. Compared with the soldiers who were recruited on the battlefield in most armies of this era, the king's soldiers were ruddy, in good spirits, and did not look malnourished.

This is good, their physical fitness should be able to cope with the high-intensity training of the Arda style.

However, the work they have to do is far more than just getting the soldiers to line up and run drills. If that's the case, just picking some soldiers from the Arda army will be enough.

The most important job of Arda's instructors is to organize these soldiers.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!

More precisely, it is to improve their organization. After all, the old-style army is also an army, and of course there is organization, but that organization is more reflected in the "relationship between people".

The organization of an army involves all aspects.

The most intuitive is in combat.

As the saying goes, "a bad soldier leads to a bad general." In the old-time army, a charismatic and capable general can lead the army to create miracles, but once his position is replaced by someone who is not as good as him, the quality of the entire army will decline disproportionately with the decline of the quality of the chief officer.

Moreover, in the old army, groups at different levels often only obey their direct superiors. Once the superior node is disabled, the subordinate nodes will be at a loss. They don’t know who to listen to, nor do they know what decisions to make. There are many cases in history where the entire army quickly collapsed after losing key nodes.

In addition, in daily life, it must be said that many armies in the old era also have a large number of disciplinary provisions, and many of them are very reasonable, taking all aspects into consideration, but once it comes to the execution level, it is difficult to describe.

In Paul Graman’s cognition, when encountering unfamiliar, special, and unexpected situations, occasionally breaking through the restrictions of the charter to solve things can be called special handling.

But in the Kingdom of Aldo, it is not limited to the army. The official institutions of the entire kingdom, including the ruling teams of the big and small lords, their behavior in small matters is almost completely driven by "special handling".

How to deal with a matter, whether it is in accordance with the rules, and how strong the execution is depends on the likes and dislikes, mood, closeness of relationships, and a slap on the forehead of the power holder.

The reason why it is called a small matter is that they are still very clear about big things. They are very strict about the hierarchy, the obligations of the monarch and his subjects, the types of taxes, the tax rates, and the dignity and wealth of the powerful.

Back to the military, there is another situation. The illiterate lower-level officers and soldiers cannot grasp many rules and regulations. What they encounter depends entirely on their superiors, which leads to the "relationship between people" having a greater weight in the organization.
