"I see, Patrocross will use more of the 500 mountain reconnaissance brigade soldiers in his hands, and they are the key to the decisive victory."

...

The officers watching the game were talking in a low voice, and the two protagonists on the field were still staring at the map with their eyes and thinking hard.

At this time, Thormid said again: "I announce that the tactical assessment has officially begun!"

"Do!" With a crisp bell, the two protagonists stood up and took a few steps back at the same time. Ten soldiers carried several wide wooden boards into the yard and stood up on the wooden board map to isolate the two people's vision to see the whole picture clearly. Of course, Sextus has the advantage of defense. The map he could see clearly should have a large range, while Paltrowros' vision was limited to the southwest corner of the map.

Several tactical executors also stood beside the two protagonists with tactical chess pieces. These tactical chess pieces were small wood carvings such as infantry, light infantry, javelins, cavalry, etc. When they were placed on the map, the serious tactical assessment gave a little fun in the game.

At this time, Matonis picked up two piglets and threw a "7". After the referees picked up the form to compare, they shouted: "On the first day, it rained heavily!"

After listening to it, the two protagonists thought about it and learned the measures they had taken on the first day on the small wooden boards they carried with them. Then the executor took their wooden boards to the referee's seat.

After looking at the order issued on the board, the referees ruled that it was feasible.

So, the executor began to place tactical chess pieces on the map according to the orders on the wooden board.

Martonis threw a spoil again, then glanced at Patrocross and said loudly: "It rained heavily on the second day!"

A small commotion occurred to the surrounding officers, but Patroclus' expression did not change. After thinking, he wrote down his decision again.

Just as most of the officers in the Turiyi military camp gathered in the tactical drill room and watched the two conduct the assessment, King Davers, accompanied by the Secretary of Military Affairs Alexis, came to the Turiyi military camp.

Leotizides, the commander of the First Legion who received the news, rushed to greet him.

After learning that tactical assessments were being conducted in the barracks, Davers told Leotizides not to inform them for the time being, and took the guards to the military conference room first to wait.

"Prosous, who do you think will win?" With nothing to do, Davers started chatting with Leotizides.

"Paltrose is flexible in mind, decisive and bold in action; Sextus is careful and steady, and he is very calm. Both of them are excellent officers. According to the news I received, in this assessment, Sextus is responsible for defense and Patrose is responsible for attacking. This allocation is in line with their combat style, but in the mountains, defense is more dominant. If Patrose wants to win, it may take some luck."

"Yes, luck is an important factor in the war to determine the outcome, and it must be decided by the gods. But in the assessment, it depends on the luck of the dice-roll referee..." Davers said jokingly, and then changed the topic: "What do you think about whether to send a legion to the border to build a fortress defense this time?"

"Your Majesty, I think it is no problem to send various legions to the border to stay in the border for more than half a year. In fact, each legion does not stay at the border for too long, and there are nearly 20 legions in the kingdom. It will take at least a few years to take turns. Besides, these legion soldiers have multiple slaves at home, and they have enough labor to handle housework..." Leotizides replied without hesitation.

Heniporis curled his lips and complained in his heart: Of course, Prosous would say this, in your eyes, is there anything else besides military? Since you became the commander of the First Legion, the citizens of the entire Turiyi region have been tormented and complained, and they have given you a nickname called "Iron Man"...

Davers looked very careful and nodded from time to time.

After chatting for a while, Davers seemed to remember something and asked, "Prosous, you haven't been home in the past six months, right?"

Leotizides was stunned and replied: "Your Majesty, I just took over the First Legion and wanted to get to know this Legion as soon as possible, so--"

Davers waved his hand and persuaded with concern: "Don't be too anxious. Judging from the current situation, there will be no major war in the Kingdom in a short time, and the First Legion will not be sent to the battlefield in a short time. You have time to be familiar with the First Legion. You still have to take time to go back to accompany your family! Your home is in Tuliyi City, not far away. You haven't been back to see it once in half a year. Your family has found the Military Affairs Department! Those who don't understand the situation think it's me, Davers, who have imprisoned you here. I don't want to suffer this injustice!"

Davers joked, then patted Leotizides on the shoulder and said in a gentle but irresistible tone: "Tomorrow you will go home and rest for a few days, relax yourself and the soldiers, okay?!"

Leotizides hesitated for a while before reluctantly saying, "Yes, your Majesty."

"That's right. You have to know how to combine work and rest!" Davers smiled.

The corners of Henipolis' mouth were slightly raised.

As the two were talking, the palace guard chief Martius walked into the military conference room: "Your Majesty, the tactical assessment has been completed."

"Who won?" Henipolis asked curiously.

"Sextus won." Martius reported to Davers, who was equally curious: "Patrocross was not lucky. He had heavy rains for several consecutive days before the battle began, which hindered his army from crossing the river, but he still insisted on building bridges in the engineering battalion to attract Sextus' army to block the attack on the other side, but secretly divided some of the troops to set up rafts in the upper reaches of the river, and took the risk of forcing the river to cross.

Although Sextus arranged a lot of whistle-viewing on the upper river bank, he discovered this situation, and he quickly sent troops to block the attack, the referee's seat made a ruling. Due to distance reasons, Sextus's army was unable to arrive in time.
