Chapter 49 Organization Allocation
At night, the bright moonlight shines.

In the quiet night, the woods below no longer have the harmony they once had.

It was the remains of a battlefield, with bonfires in the center emitting the smell of burnt flesh and blood.

After the knights from all parties claimed the remains of their own soldiers and cleaned up the battlefield, they began to deal with the corpses.

The war started by the Alliance is not over yet.

Except for the dead noble knights who would be sent back, the other serfs would naturally be burned on the spot according to the kingdom's tradition.

Erecting a stone tablet on this battlefield and recording the name of the war will be the final commemoration of them.

After Rhodes finished recording the sacrifices of his soldiers and registering their respective military merits, he returned to his tent.

At the same time, Holmes and Loren were called over.

"Charlie is going to continue attacking Sarko Ice City. What do you think?"

Rhodes asked the two of them, discussing their next attitude towards the alliance.

"It's too risky." Holmes looked worried after hearing this.

"The strength shown by the Wolf Chief Tribe is far stronger than expected. This encounter has dampened the morale of all parties in the alliance. I'm afraid it won't be a good thing if the battle continues."

He shook his head and expressed his opposition to continuing the siege.

In the post-war casualty count, more than 600 Union soldiers were killed or wounded.

Our morale is about to collapse before we even see the enemy city.

And there was one thing Holmes didn't say directly.

As the most important core of the alliance, Knight Charles did not show the qualities that a leader should have.

Now there are cracks in the relationship between the knights in the major leagues, and decision-making cannot be centered around him.

If they can't unite as one, it's hard to say who will beat whom after arriving at Sarko Ice City!

After hearing this, Rhodes did not respond immediately, but looked at the silent Loren.

"Loren, what do you think? No need to worry, just speak your mind."

Holmes was Rhodes's mentor knight, and they had a close relationship, a relationship that allowed him to speak freely.

But as a knight who joined later, Loren seldom expressed his opinions in the army because he had previously worked for Mansaru.

He basically focuses on Rhodes or Holmes.

But Loren has lived in the border of the principality since he was a child and has a deep understanding of the barbarians in the north.

Clearly have a clearer grasp of the situation.

Seeing Rhodes looking at him, Loren thought for a moment and said, "Judging from the number of wolf chiefs ambushed this time, at least ten nearby tribes have chosen to unite and gather in Sarko Ice City."

"There are probably more than 10,000 wolf chiefs there now, and Sarko Ice City cannot afford to support so many people. If we leave it alone, within a month, the wolf chief army will surely attack and expand the territory."

"And your Excellency has a special identity." Loren paused, thinking of Mansaru again, his face not so good.

"What do you mean?" Holmes suddenly reacted and his expression turned bad.

"That's right. As a descendant of the royal family, your information and the location of your territory have already been exposed. I'm afraid you will be attacked frantically by the Wolf Chief's army immediately."

King William is a well-known name in the North!

After Mansaru betrayed Rhodes' information, his grandfather William's reputation was almost transformed into the barbarians' hatred for Rhodes.

Loren continued, "Once this alliance is dissolved, it will be much more difficult to form it again. We must take this opportunity to kill the main force of the Wolf Chief to ensure the safety of your territory in the future."

Holmes frowned and thought for a while before not refuting.

Rhodes nodded, agreeing with his judgment.

In fact, this is also the reason why many Alliance knights, although dissatisfied, still stay here.

This time, the formation of an alliance army to attack the Barbarian City was driven by both interests and the pursuit of self-preservation.

The most ideal goal is naturally to capture the city.

The wealth of Sarko Ice City will be divided up, and a large number of barbarian slaves will become high-quality labor, greatly promoting the construction of various territories.

The alliance can also use this city as a frontline fortress to resist subsequent barbarian attacks and ensure the safety of the territories in the rear.

The middle-level goal is to capture the city. Even if you cannot occupy it later, you can still plunder wealth and labor.

Every family made a lot of money.

The minimum goal is to work together to attack the barbarian army.

If you can't take the city, at least you have to cripple the enemy to ensure they have no energy left to attack you next time.

This is also Rhodes' goal. What he lacks most now is time.

No matter how bright the future of the territory is, once the Wolf Chief's soldiers rush over, it will all be in vain.

So he had to ensure that the barbarians would not have the energy to attack him in the next few months.

The next morning, the alliance began to reorganize its army.

With the unanimous agreement of the six Knights of the Round Table, the siege war continued.

The Wolf Chief's soldiers are not weak, but judging from previous battles, they are not so powerful that they cannot be dealt with.

Charles assured her that he had a way to break through the city walls.

Everyone looked at the flaming spear emblem that pierced the earth behind him and decided to give him a try.

But at the unanimous request of the other five Knights of the Round Table, the alliance army needed to be redivided.

Different establishments will be divided according to clear responsibilities.

A brigade of 100 men formed a battalion, 500 men formed a battalion, and 1,000 men formed a regiment.

Charlie used his Flame Heart Knights as the core and led the understaffed 800 men to form the First Assault Regiment.

Other Knights of the Round Table also gathered together their own Knights Ordnance, rallied together Knights from different alliances, and formed their own assault and reconnaissance regiments.

The subsequent distribution of the spoils will be discussed among the captains of each regiment, and then distributed to the subordinate knights by the captain of the regiment.

It will no longer be distributed uniformly by Charlie.

Charlie, who was walking in front, looked unhappy.

Although the alliance was not disbanded, his leader's power was divided in half!
Compared to him, Rhodes was in a good mood.

As one of the six Knights of the Round Table of the Alliance, he also became the leader of one of the troops.

But he did not win over the remaining knights like the other Knights of the Round Table.

Instead, he gathered together those serfs who had nowhere to go due to the death of their lord, a total of more than 400 people.

Although the knights led by the knight are powerful, they don't obey orders.

If you are an archer alone and are not prepared to charge, blindly adding other knights to the team will only disrupt the rhythm of the battle.

And these are ownerless serf soldiers.

After the battle, could someone come out from the ground and lead them back home? Rhode thought happily.

Due to insufficient numbers, the organization was formed into a battalion, which became the Sixth Divine Arrow Battalion outside the five regiments.

As compensation for his concession, Rhodes asked other Knights of the Round Table for a batch of crossbows and short bows as equipment compensation.

The other knights saw that his team had only a little more than half the size of their own.

The knights who didn't even want their main combat force shed tears of emotion on the spot.

They stuffed weapons towards him shyly.

Currently, half of the more than 400 serf soldiers are equipped with crossbows and the other half are equipped with shortbows.

On the march, Rhodes was training them to quickly find their positions in battle.

It is pure dream to form a battle formation for a group of serf soldiers in a short period of time.

So Rhodes' method was to let them cooperate with the shield and spear formation.

After the shield and spear formation is formed, use the shield and spear soldiers in front as coordinates to determine where you should stand.

At least this way I won't be running around like a headless fly.
