On January 1, 999, the Empire's Age, Huainan Prefecture, Jiangnan Province.

Huainan Prefecture should be a general term for an area in the political and geographical context, not just a city. There were three prefectures and seven counties (towns) under its rule. Among them, there were 20,000 Western coalition forces stationed in Huainan, the Duchy of Teutonic and Falls Kingdom, and the number of the two armies was 10,000. Among them, the forces of the Kingdom of Falls were 5,000 Gaul light cavalry and 5,000 Falls light infantry; the Duchy of Teutonic were 2,000 heavy cavalry, 5,000 heavy infantry, and 3,000 light spearmen.

The other two prefectures, Fengyang Prefecture, was closer to the empire's Huaibei camp, stationed 50,000 elite Western coalition forces, including 10,000 Shenwei troops from the Pope; 5,000 Gaul light cavalry from the Five Thousand Falls, 5,000 light cavalry from the Kingdom of Falls; 3,000 heavy cavalry from the Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of Duchy of

Another prefecture, Changfeng, was south of Huainan Prefecture, with only 3,500 coalition forces, all of which were light infantry from the Hailan Kingdom, accompanied by 500 Gaul light cavalry. The other seven towns, due to their different sizes and geographical locations, were stationed ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 troops.

The total number of troops in the Huainan Prefecture is about 90,000, which is the relatively concentrated defense of the Western Allied Forces in Jiangnan Province. Although it cannot be said that it is not revealed, at least as long as one government is attacked, the remaining towns in the four towns and eight fields can be rescued in time. The policy of expelling Han people as slaves and using traitors to govern Han people is implemented, and to a certain extent, the defense system of the entire Huainan has been stabilized from the internal level.

For such a step-by-step defense system, the commander of the Western Alliance Huainan Prefecture, the Marquis of the Saxon Kingdom, the Deputy Commander of the Saxon Kingdom, and the commander of the ten thousand men, Beaumond St. John, was always very satisfied with this step-by-step defense system. Although Beaumond had no good feelings for the Falls, he still sincerely admired the plans proposed by the Western Alliance and Jose Duke of Falls in his heart.

But now, Beaumond was worried about the deputy appointed by Jose and Pope Urban II. Looking at the two deputy commanders of Huainan Prefecture who were constantly arguing in front of him, Beaumond felt that the name of Josesi 6's fox should be given to others. Does this soldier who has fought for a lifetime still know that internal struggle is the most likely to cause overall mistakes?

Internal strife is simple to say, but if one is not handled well, it will turn into internal friction. Isn’t there a saying in the Empire: Fortresses are the most breached from the inside - look at the Empire’s seemingly undefeated Dragon City, and look at the northwest defense line, which is known as the most stable in the Far East, aren’t they easily broken by the betrayal of the insider?

Beaumond was different from his immediate superior, deputy commander of the coalition, and Duke of the Saxon Kingdom. As a soldier, he did not agree with Siston's behavior.

One of the two was a devastating noble family and was known for their ignorance and flattery and pleasing their superiors; the other was a famous knight in the Saxon Kingdom, and was also a hereditary marquis and received a good education since childhood.

Such a growth environment has absolutely different qualities, and Beaumond also looked down on Siston's attitude of being aggressive and obsessed with the situation. He did not understand the military at all, but he still liked to point fingers.

All day long, I only know how to mingle with Rembrandt, the archbishop of the Holy See. Of course, on the surface, Beaumond is a strong supporter of Siston. This is better than most people. For some purpose, I always have to do something against my will. It is better to be tough and be plotted against others. Isn’t the famous "Moon Knight" Als, Als, is the lesson of the past?

It was precisely because of his clever thought that Beaumond was promoted all the way. He was promoted to the commander of the Allied Forces Huainan All Route Army with his good reputation in West 6.

But since he became the commander of the road, Beaumond almost never slept well for a night. At the beginning of a month or two, it was always necessary to be wary of the Han soldiers on the other side of the strait Huainan. Later, he received information that the high-level imperial squatters would not attack them for the time being.

Then, there was constant friction between the Falls and the Teutonic people here. Although everyone was trying their best to keep restrained in Huainan, they almost had to fight each other in private.

These situations made Beaumond always handle all matters carefully, for fear of causing dissatisfaction from his subordinates.

Originally, the Huainan Prefecture was an important geographical location and was the front line of the confrontation between the Western coalition and the Empire's Huainbei Camp. According to the prior agreement, it was planned to allow the two factions, the Kingdom of Falls and the Principal of Teutonic, to select a department to be in charge.

However, the Pope was very dissatisfied with the situation of internal struggle between the two factions. After joining Jose, the commander of the Kingdom of Falls and Bergman, the commander of the Kingdom of Teutonic, he finally appointed Beaumond of the Kingdom of Saxon as commander, and the Viscount of the Kingdom of Falls, the commander of the Kingdom of Fols, Louisdeh, the commander of the Viscount of the Kingdom of Teutonic, Beckman, and Ariel, the commander of the First Legion of the God-Magistrate.

Such a combination of rights maintains the stability of the entire command system of the Huainan Allied Forces at least on the surface.

Beaumond was in a position, official position and reputation, and his actions were fair, and the other three deputy commanders had been cooperating with his orders.

Of course, if the position of commander is taken away, the two deputy commanders must feel uncomfortable.

The seemingly harmonious atmosphere cannot conceal the darkness of the facts. In the towns under the rule of Huainan Prefecture, intermediate officers from several countries have been fighting openly and secretly.

In particular, Batto, the head of the Falls Kingdom of Hujia Town, and his deputy, Bachman, the head of the Duchy of Teutonic, are representatives. Both sides have been reporting and slandering each other in front of the top of the mountain.

Just two days ago, Bachman handed a letter of complaint to his Shangfeng, deputy commander of the Huainan Prefecture coalition forces, and commanded the Viscount Wanfu of the Duke of Teutonic. After seeing the letter, Beckman felt that this was a good opportunity to defeat his opponent. So, at today's regular military meeting, Beckman presented the letter in public, with sufficient evidence in the letter showing that the coalition forces guarding the Hujia Town of Batto was corrupt and abused the law, put most of the treasures into his pocket, and even sold the food and grass privately.

Beckman asked Beaumond to deal with it impartially and to find out the supporters behind Barto. Obviously, his finger was directed at Louisde.

Of course, Louisde refused to give in, but instead accused the other party of being unfavorable and falsely accusing his colleagues, causing internal strife in the coalition.

One side said that the other party was corrupt, but the other side accused the other party of slander. As a result, the two commander-level figures released all the resentment they had accumulated for several months, and had a big quarrel at the military meeting without any image, and even revealed to each other that someone's family and who was suspected of adultery, and that someone's king was once the illegitimate son of someone's king.

Seeing the two of them making such a noisy, Ariel, the commander of the First Legion of the Shenwei Army, this female knight with a head of gold and a plump figure, is said to have the sacred blood of the Holy Church, smiled disdainfully on her face.

Beaumond could only wave his hand and signal the two not to make noise. He looked at Ariel, who represented the Holy See, hoping that she could make some statements.

Ariel smiled, with a beautiful face as beautiful as a flower. He looked at the two quarrelsome deputy commanders and coughed.

But this flowery smile and clean cough immediately alerted Louisde and Beckman, who were already immersed in their respective worlds. The two stopped the argument in a tacit understanding and looked at Ariel.

Although she was only a commander of the God-Magic Army (but she was the commander of the God-Magic Army), and she had no title (but she was the Paladin appointed by the Pope himself), and she was not from a family (it was said that the purest blood of the Holy Holy Church flowed in her body), but this woman nicknamed "The Lioness of the Lord God" in West 6 is not a false reputation. Even if she is a woman, she is also one of the Pope's favorite knights, and she is also the spokesperson of the Holy Church in Huainan Prefecture. A few months ago, a bishop of the Holy Church was flirting with her, and the smiling woman in front of her immediately turned into a lioness and chopped off the guy's hands.

But the Pope only warned her a few words, and that bishop was the direct descendant of the Holy See Prince Julio and the confidant of Archbishop Rembrandt in the Cardinal.

However, they must pay attention to the opinions that such a strong woman is about to express.

"As far as I know, Lord De Batto is a pious follower of the Pope and one of the confidants of Lord Fernando." Ariel said leisurely while gently rolling his silky gold with his slender fingers.

Hearing this, Louis de Believe the 100th man in the Kingdom of Falls, laughing immediately, which was equivalent to telling everyone that Batto is the Pope, so don't move.

But Beckman, the tenement-master of the Teutonic Principal, turned a little gloomy and looked at Beaumond.

Beaumond smiled helplessly. Although he did not like the Falls, he was a soldier. He was a commander along the way. He must learn to consider the overall situation and ensure unity within the internal, especially in the high-level command system.

"However, I personally hate this kind of greedy and self-righteous guy. Humph, it's really annoying..." Ariel smiled, and the little daughter's posture seemed a bit bright and charming.

However, this rare and bright appearance was wasted, and the men in front of them were not in the mood to watch.

"Uh, that Paladin, do you mean?" Beaumond asked with a smile.

"Let me do this, I'll go to Hujia Town to take a look. If that guy is still in my eyes, I'll spare his life, but I can't let him be the guard, nor can I cooperate with Bachman in Hujia Town. Then Lord Louisde will be transferred to another guard; if that guy really doesn't catch my eyes, then I'll give him a pleasure on behalf of the Pope!" Ariel smiled, and the fate of a person was determined while talking and laughing.

"Let's deal with it according to Lord Ariel's 'opinion'." Beaumond nodded.

"Okay." Louisde and Beckman looked at each other, but the two men who were not dealing with each other looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
