Chapter 628: Guardian Battle Banner

Although he has a wealth of combat experience and combat intuition, his theoretical knowledge is clearly inferior to Bran.
This is a common problem of Broken Blood Castle, because they used to follow the traditional idea, only focusing on personal force, and not much energy was invested in theoretical knowledge.
It wasn't until the collision with the leader of Yongye, that Grand Duke Cedric saw the power of knowledge, that his mind changed, and he adjusted slowly, and a part of cultural courses was added to the army.
The result is conceivable. In the past year, the officers of all levels of Broken Blood Fort have been in dire straits. It is harder for these big bosses to practice reading and writing with a quill than it is for them to fight on the battlefield.
Grand Duke Cedric closed his eyes and pondered. General Esmond knew that this was his father's habit of thinking, and did not dare to disturb him.
After a few minutes.
Cedric Grand Park suddenly opened his eyes, and said in all directions: "This is indeed a stable view, but it is too passive to do so. The other party is using this method to test our reality. Once we give up, we will They will be allowed to mobilize their forces to attack our weaknesses. The number of black powder barrels and arrows stored in each pass fortress is limited. Temporary supplies are also quite troublesome. If they continue to attack a point, they will still Forced into the most dangerous normal city defense operations."
"If Odin orcs don't count the casualties and attack, this is inevitable." Brann nodded in agreement, "The initiative of this kind of defensive warfare itself is in the hands of the offensive side, especially our defense line is so long. The only thing we can do is to ensure a good mobile force, ready to support critical points at any time, and be prepared for battles."
"That's what I said, but before that, let's mobilize their energy first." Grand Duke Cedric's eyes fell on the military sand table.
"What does your majesty mean?" Esmond showed a questioning look.
"Their main force outside the blood castle has been slow to take action. In addition to trying to test the combat effectiveness of our entire line of defense and groping for ways to deal with the black powder barrels, the main thing is fear, fear of things at other points, on them. It was staged, causing the main force to flee, and there was no way to recover it at that time." Grand Duke Cedric analyzed.
"Your Excellency meant that you want to move the broken blood cavalry farther away and attract their main force to attack the blood castle?" Brian's main chief of staff thoughtfully.
"Yes." Grand Duke Cedric nodded, "Blood Castle is the key point of the entire line of defense. The Strache family has invested the most manpower and material resources on it over the years. It seems to be the most dangerous point. In fact, it is the strongest place. In the past, with normal defense methods, it was no problem to drag those orcs for a year or a half, let alone with a large amount of black powder.
Another advantage of actively attracting them to fight is to check the rationality of our defense and make further improvements.
When the blood castle was established, it was just a simple castle, and it grew into what it is now in a battle.
Every time it is disabled, the blood castle will be stronger when it is rebuilt next time.
Therefore, I am not afraid that they will come to attack the blood fort, but I am afraid that they will be unwilling to send out and do tricks on other points. "
"Understood, where does Grand Duke want to do it?" Brann asked.
"If the blood ride is adjusted too far, our intention is too obvious. If it's too close, they can't feel at ease. This is just right." Grand Duke Cedric pointed to a medium fortress in the Broken Vessel Defense Line.
This medium-sized fortress is nothing but a tiger's mouth.
"This place is almost a day away from Broken Blood Fortress. After the West Odin Empire got the news, it was enough for them to take military actions against the Blood Fortress. Even if they refused to be fooled, it didn't matter. They would definitely not think that we would dare to send the Blood Cavalry. Going so far, the chance of setting up an ambush over there is also very low. It is always good to defeat more of their tribes and weaken their strength by more. This is a strategy that has the best of both worlds. I personally agree. It has been decided, I will lead someone to come up with a more detailed military strategy." Brann's main chief of staff voted in favor.
"Ace's opinion!" Grand Duke Cedric turned to look at his son and right-hand man.
"Military strategy is the business of your majesty and the chief of staff. Let's just fight in the front! After all, your heads are more flexible than ours. If you think it is feasible, then it must be possible." General Esmond grinned. "It is not so easy for them to set an ambush for us. The big deal is that we rushed directly into the prairie and walked around behind them. Anyway, this is not the first time we have done this."
"This is the matter. If the other party bites the hook, he can hold them for a while and win more time for us." Grand Duke Cedric finally agreed.
Two of the three giants of Broken Blood Castle have been set, and this matter is basically no problem.
General Pedro is even more a typical fierce general, and his execution ability is far above making suggestions. Even if he is present, he will not raise objections.
"If there is nothing else, I will prepare first, and wait until you come up with detailed tactics before calling me." General Esmond resigned.
"Go! Don't spend all your energy on the army, take a hot bath, have a good meal, and sleep. There will be a fight in this battle." Grand Duke Cedric exhorted.
Even if General Esmond is more than seventy years old and has more than half a century of war experience, he still seems to have not fully grown up in his eyes.
"I know." General Esmond waved his hand without looking back, and strode away. As for whether he heard it or not, only he knew.
"Does your military leader's plan on the Eastern Front go smoothly?" Grand Duke Cedric turned to ask Bran, and finally added, "We are just chatting now, not inquiries. We can just say that if it is convenient, we don’t need to. Reply."
"This matter needs to be avoided for others, but it is not necessary for your majesty." Brann replied, "It's just the specific situation. My understanding is quite limited. I only know that our worries have been completely resolved, and the Kentana people have become us. A member of the military leader."
"Earl Sean captured the wild people? How did he do it?" Grand Duke Cedric looked surprised.
Long ago, Grand Duke Cedric knew that the young earl and the army leader he led could not be measured by common sense.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his head, he would do a great deal of earth-shattering day.
In the eyes of the Byrons, the Kentana barbarians are a true legend.
Many people even question whether this race really exists.
But in these legends, without exception, they are synonymous with powerful and barbaric.
There are even legends that they live a primitive life of cannibalism.
Even Grand Duke Cedric was deeply influenced by these legends. In the previous letter, Shaun told him that after preparing for the worries of the army leader Jin Qing Yongye, he would plot the Odin prairie.
He thought that Jinqing was literally, and he was going to kill all the savages on the Kentana Ice Sheet!
The difficulty of surrendering prisoners is definitely far above killing.
"If you ask him about this matter, you might as well ask me directly!" A voice came from behind Grand Duke Cedric.
"Earl Sean?" Grand Duke Cedric turned around abruptly, his expression a little surprised.
In the corner behind him, there is a black cheetah sitting tall and imaginary, and the sound that resembles Sean just came out of his mouth.
Brann's response confirmed this, and he bowed and said: "Lord Lord."
"Your Excellency, don't be too surprised. Just like the energy clone that I met you last time, this is just an application of magical energy." Xiao En actively explained, "I didn't mean to listen and watch, I just wanted to Your Excellency proves the unique ability of this energy body."
"How long have you been here?" Grand Duke Cedric asked hurriedly.
The hidden meaning in Sean's explanation dissipated the anger that he was touched behind his back unconsciously.
He was able to hide his eyes and ears from Esmond, and naturally he could also hide from the strong Odin orcs.
In this way, isn't he a blessed scout who can directly peer into the strategic plan of the high-level Odin orcs.
"I came in after General Esmond." Sean answered truthfully. "I felt a huge pressure here. If it weren't for the smell of General Esmond, my whereabouts were only I'm afraid it has already been exposed."
"You're talking about guarding the battle flag, right?" Grand Duke Cedric asked, pointing to the battle flag at the door that didn't look much different from the ordinary military flag.
Sean nodded and said, "This is the battle flag guardian of the battle artifact passed down by the Strache family?"
"Yes." When Grand Duke Cedric looked at it, his eyes softened a lot.
It is no secret that the eight major families of the Byron Alliance have their own battle artifacts.
For some families, the battle artifact is definitely not a simple means of pressing the bottom of the box. It also represents a concept, at least for the Strache family.
Their core family philosophy is to guard.
Guarding the broken line of defense, guarding the safety of the entire Byron Alliance, even if it is not able to get strong assistance, he still refuses to give up.
Xiao En walked forward curiously and wandered around the guardian battle flag several times.
He is not too unfamiliar with the battle artifact, and he has not only faced the power of single and group blessing on the battlefield.
I have also seen the sword of courage, the battle artifact of the royal family of Lancelot.
There are still differences between battle artifacts and battle artifacts.
Whether it is efficacy or manufacturing process.
But without exception, there are beautiful and ingenious patterns on it.
In the eyes of ignorant people, this pattern is just a piece of perfect artwork.
But in the eyes of experts like Sean, this is not just a simple pattern, it is the source of the magical power of the battle artifact-the magic circuit.
Combining art and magic, this is a standard wizard technique that can no longer be standard.
"If I don't feel wrong, your guardian battle flag is more than just a waste of energy." Sean asked while looking at Grand Duke Cedric.
This question stunned Grand Duke Cedric, and then fell silent.
"Lord Lord, Grand Duke, I still have things to do, please allow me to retire first." Bran saw the high-levels of the two forces and talked about some more sensitive issues, so he took the initiative to resign.
"Go!" Neither Grand Duke Cedric nor Sean stopped.
After Brann retired, Grand Duke Cedric sighed, "It seems that your military leader has really gone a long way in the field of spell research. I didn't expect to be able to see this. That's right, when the guardian battle flag was used for the last time, it was caught in a trap specially prepared by the Odin orcs.
Not only was the energy wasted, the Odin orcs also tried to destroy it. Although it was snatched back, the ability to absorb power was damaged. It has been almost half a century. The accumulated power in it cannot support the consumption of a small battle. , Now it’s basically a decoration. There is no way to turn the tide of the battle at a critical moment. I also hope that your Excellency will keep us secret about this matter. If the Odin orcs know about it, their respect for us , Will reduce a lot. "
"It's no wonder its power is so unstable." Shaun's tone was also unspeakable regret, "If it is at its peak, under its guardianship, let alone sneak into this room, hundreds of meters away, it should be It perceives it."
"If the Grand Duke can trust me, you can give it to me and try to repair it. Is there any possibility of repair?" Xiao En made another suggestion.
"Can you repair the battle artifact??" Grand Duke Cedric was no longer a shocked question. If he had not known Sean for a while, he would have questioned whether the other party was a big liar.
The battle artifacts were created, manufactured and repaired during the elven period, and have long been lost.
Even the crazy warlocks of the ancient Andes Empire were said to have not thoroughly studied it.
Although a large number of imitations have been manufactured, they are all semi-finished products and none of them have been preserved.
After the guardian battle flag was damaged, Grand Duke Cedric never wanted to repair it. He just looked for everyone who could find it.
Whether it is the academicians of the Warlock Alliance or the members of the Secret Society of Witches.
Not to mention repair, they don't even have the courage to try repair.
After a long period of time, Grand Duke Cedric had to accept that the Guardian Battle Banner couldn't fix it.
"I can't give a 100% promise, I can only say that it is a try." Sean's eyes flashed with the unique light of scientific researchers, and he encouraged a three-inch tongue. "The battle artifact is essentially no different from enchanted equipment. The difference is that the structure inside the battle artifact is more complex, its function is missing, it is very likely that the internal structure is damaged, as long as the damaged part is found, you can find a way to correct it.
I did have some research experience in this area recently, but whether we can handle such a complicated structure or not, we still need to study before we know.
But at least there is a glimmer of hope, isn't it?
This piece of equipment has been damaged for so many years and has not been repaired, indicating that the Lord has nothing to do. Even if it is left like this, the result will be the same.
Without the battle artifact that automatically replenishes energy, it is an ordinary equipment that can no longer be ordinary. "
Sean has been coveting the battle artifact ~EbookFREE.me~ for a long time, and wants to do a research study.
But each one is the heirloom of those grand duke's families, which they regard as top secret among top secrets.
Many abilities are kept secret, let alone loaned to others for research.
I didn't expect to encounter a damaged one today, which was a pure surprise.
"This..." Grand Duke Cedric hesitated, showing a trace of heartbeat.
After Xiao En reminded him of this, he remembered the enchanted armor sold to them by the Yongye Army leader. Some of the characteristics were indeed similar to the battle artifact.
It's just that the battle artifact is more powerful and can provide blessings to more people.
Moreover, what Sean is using is an unprecedented magic method. Before that, he had never heard of it, let alone seen any warlock capable of this level.
But the guardian battle flag is too important to the Strache family, even if it is a damaged item, there is no way to easily hand it over to others.
