Chapter 497 Starting over
Faced with Solandel's question, Kino shook his head: "When the enemy falls, some people will choose to fall together, but this is not the only solution. You can follow the justice in your heart and not join the ranks of the fallen, but you will definitely
You have to learn to weigh the pros and cons.”
"The outcome of any war is inseparable from gains and losses - more and less losses are a successful war. For example, in the deduction just now, you were trying to save more than 20,000 people who were killed.
The civilians who were held hostage opened the city gate, which led to the fall of Fengyun Pass. This strategic location was lost and the inland was destroyed. As a result, more than 20,000 civilians were killed or injured? I am afraid it was millions."
"Compared with this, do you think the more than 20,000 people you saved are still meaningful? What's more, you didn't even save more than 20,000 people, gained nothing, and lost everything."
Solandel thought for a long time and asked tentatively: "You mean, a leader should have an overall view and not care about the gains and losses of a city or a pool, but should control the overall situation, even if it means sacrificing some people for it.
, but as long as more people can be saved, is this sacrifice worth it?"
It can be seen from the expression that Solandel's understanding ability makes Kino very satisfied: "That's what it means. Of course, this kind of thing is not as simple as talking."
"Sometimes you understand these principles but your subordinates don't, and it will be very difficult to implement them. This is why the most important rule in military law is - unconditional obedience to superiors."
"Sometimes, subordinates can understand these principles and implement them, but the people don't understand. At this time, you will find that you have saved all sentient beings, but in the end you were reviled by them."
"So, leaders are lonely. They stand in a very high position, too high for others to reach. Therefore, they are destined not to be understood by the world. The previous king was like this, your father was like this..." Kino narrowed his eyes slightly.
He raised his eyes, and a deep color flashed in his pupils, "The same will be true for the future successor."
Solandel held her little face in her hands, meditating under the moon. The evening breeze occasionally raised her long platinum hair, and when they fell gently on her face, the soft touch felt like a caress.
"To put it this way, my father is usually so lonely..." Solandel felt lost, raised her head and looked at the moonlight, and said faintly, "You said, the future king...Brother Andre or Bolton
Will my brother...be as lonely as my father?"
The moonlight was dim and there were many shadows. Kino sat in the darkness without saying anything, with the cold wind blowing around him. Only those amber eyes illuminated by the moonlight were watching Solandel silently.
"Well, forget it, I don't want to think about these distant things." Solandel jumped down from the railing by the pool, turned back to look at Kino, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I didn't think about the war game just now.
Can I continue playing?”
Kino walked out from the shadow of the moon and joked: "Of course, you just lost the storm, not a total defeat. Doguland is still waiting for you to save it."
"Yes! The invaders are still raging, and I can't leave everyone alone!" Solandel had a strong sense of empathy, and her whole figure seemed to be on fire. She clenched her fists in the air and said majesticly in a milky voice.
Royal family language: "I am the flame, lighting the way forward! Go ahead~"
...
The two returned to the attic, and Solandel put away all the cards that she had thrown away in her temper before, and stood back up.
Chino was also in position: "Are you ready?"
Solandel took a deep breath, looked at the huge sand table, and nodded heavily.
Kino: "Start."
The two men continued to deduce the situation of the war game just now, without "turning back" and everything continued as before.
Solandel faced an even more difficult situation than Perseus did. Fengyun Pass fell in such a short time. Although they only lost 30,000 border guards in terms of strength, their strategic initiative was severely hit.
Once the Fengyun Pass was lost, the entire Fenghuo Province fell into the hands of the Far Eastern invaders. Its influence quickly spread to the northern Tayu Province and the southern Feiyuan Province. Many strategic locations fell, making the kingdom's war situation very passive.
Fortunately, the knowledge Solandel learned in class was very solid. Apart from her naive mentality before, her military strength was still very good. She did not appear at a loss in the face of a fragmented battle situation. All arrangements were organized in an orderly manner, and she really had a bit of a general's demeanor.
Although compared with a real general like Bolton, Solandel is still too young, but compared to Lugo, who only read 20 pages of the book, she is already so strong that I don’t know where she is. At least Kino is very good.
It is difficult to play with the army she commands in a "playing" way, and occasionally she will fall into thinking for more than ten seconds.
According to the time lapse ratio agreed upon in the war game, it has now been 8 days since Fengyun Pass was breached.
Facing the Far East cavalry raging in the pass, Solandel resolutely implemented the strategy of "strengthening the wall and clearing the country" while organizing the evacuation of the people - strategically abandoning all towns and villages with weak defenses, and evacuating urban personnel, food crops, and supplies.
All of them will be moved into the strong main city, and anything that cannot be taken away will be burned and will not be left to the Far Eastern Army.
At the same time, the main city relies on high walls to reinforce its defenses, and the guerrilla legions in the suburbs are at odds with each other in the city, creating an extremely strong in-depth defense network.
"Strong walls and clear fields, using city walls to fight cavalry, very beautiful command." Kino praised it from the bottom of his heart, but he changed the topic and moved a soldier card to a city called Graycastle, "But you
I forgot one thing, most of my Far East vanguards are warriors, and their Cloud Climbing Skill can easily cross the city wall and directly engage in hand-to-hand combat with the city's defenders."
When the fierce hand-to-hand offensive and defensive battle took place in Gray Castle, Solandel did not panic at all, and also launched a soldier card: "You seem to have forgotten one thing. I have deployed a guerrilla army in the wild, and the city and the outside echo each other.
."
"This guerrilla army that is at an angle with Graycastle is called the "Lionheart Legion". It is one of the four elite legions of Doguland with the same name as the "Guard Legion". There is a soldier in it named Garrot, who is known as
For "Black Lion"."
"Lord Garrot is a peerless master with the strength of the 6th sequence "Lord of the Sun". He originally lived a secluded life without caring about the world. After the outbreak of the Laurel War, he resolutely fought to protect his comrades.
Tens of thousands of Far Eastern warriors who came out of the mountains to join the army died under his giant sword!"
Mentioning this person, Solandel's words were full of longing, and her eyes almost had stars: "After the Laurel War, the "Black Lion" Garrot was selected by his father and became the chief imperial guard at that time.
More than ten years later, together with the "Sword of Dawn" Dinisha and the famous "Eagle Eye" Myne, they were known as the "Three Musketeers of the Royal City"."
"Although Lord Garrot is old now and has retired from the imperial guard, our deduction took place 27 years ago. At that time, he was still in his prime and at the peak of his strength. It is said that he can single-handedly defeat an army. You
