Chapter 71: Allied Forces Reorganization, Assigning Tasks! Uncle-in-law is Here!

The headquarters of the allied forces was set up in a huge temporary tent in the center of Luoxing Pingyuan.

Outside the tent, the guards were strict, and teams of Kingdom knights in heavy armor, holding long halberds, patrolled the surroundings with sharp eyes.

After Roko reported his identity and purpose, he was led into the tent by a messenger.

Inside the tent, it was brightly lit.

Several generals in gorgeous armor and extraordinary bearing were gathered around a huge sand table, discussing something intensely.

On the sand table, the terrain and landforms of the Xin Feng Province were clearly marked, as well as red marks representing the Orc forces.

Roko's gaze swept over the faces of those generals one by one.

However, he did not seem to find his target.

Just as he was about to step forward to ask, a slightly surprised voice came from the side.

"Eh? Roko, you're here too?"

Roko looked in the direction of the voice, only to see two middle-aged men, also in noble armor, looking at him in surprise.

These two were his seventh uncle, Baron Leo Raymond, and his twelfth uncle, Baron Ban En Raymond.

They had also responded to the Kingdom's conscription and had come to Luoxing Pingyuan to gather with their respective territorial private armies.

"Seventh Uncle, Twelfth Uncle."

A smile appeared on Roko's face, and he stepped forward to salute.

"I didn't expect to meet you here."

Seventh Uncle Leo looked Roko up and down and exclaimed in wonder.

"Good boy! Haven't seen you for a while, but your momentum is getting stronger and stronger!"

"How is the territory you pioneered now?"

"Have you stood firm there?"

Roko smiled slightly and said modestly: "Thanks to Seventh Uncle's blessing, it's going quite smoothly."

Twelfth Uncle Ban En patted Roko on the shoulder, a hint of approval in his eyes.

"Not bad, you have the demeanor of a descendant of our Raymond family."

Just then, two more young knights walked out from behind the two uncles.

They were the offspring of Seventh Uncle and Twelfth Uncle, that is, Roko's cousins.

One of them was tall and had an arrogant face.

The gaze he looked at Roko with carried a hint of imperceptible scrutiny.

He was the son of Seventh Uncle Leo, named Hawen Raymond.

The other one appeared somewhat scholarly, but his eyes revealed a sense of shrewdness; he was the son of Twelfth Uncle Ban En, named Weide Raymond.

"Cousin Roko."

Weide greeted him somewhat enthusiastically.

"I heard that you are doing quite well on the border of the province."

"The territory has all been developed."

"Really amazing!"

His tone was very sincere.

Obviously, he had heard about Roko's actions during this period.

Roko smiled and said somewhat modestly: "It's okay, it's okay..."

Seventh Uncle Leo suddenly remembered something and asked.

"By the way, how many troops did you bring this time?"

Roko said lightly: "One hundred and fifty knights, three hundred and fifty veterans."

"One hundred and fifty knights?"

"Three hundred and fifty veterans?"

Upon hearing this, Seventh Uncle and Twelfth Uncle both had a flash of surprise in their eyes.

Not long ago, this kid Roko didn't have such strength, right?

How could he have developed so rapidly in such a short time?

Such a change really made them feel surprised.

Suddenly, a messenger walked over quickly.

"Baron Leo, Baron Ban En, Lord Roko, the military council is about to begin, please go to the central main tent immediately, the three lords."

"Oh? Is the military council about to begin?"

Seventh Uncle Leo nodded.

"Let's go, Roko."

Roko naturally would not refuse.

He followed his two uncles and the two cousins into the central tent, which was the largest of all.

Inside the tent, hundreds of noble lords had already gathered.

However, most of them were pioneer lords.

Even among the lowest-ranked barons, there were only a few dozen.

They gathered in twos and threes, talking in low voices.

When they saw Roko's face, which was somewhat excessively young, many people's eyes flashed with surprise and contempt.

In a place like the army where strength and seniority are respected, being too young often means a lack of experience and prestige.

Roko did not care about these gazes; he stood quietly behind his two uncles, observing everything in the tent.

Soon, a middle-aged general in silver lion armor with a majestic face.

Surrounded by a group of personal guards, he walked into the tent with big strides.

【Name: Kalun Meilike】

【Level: Silver Rank Knight Peak】

【Talent: A+】

【Favorability: 20】

【Loyalty: 0】

He was one of the deputy commanders of this Kingdom Allied Forces, a fierce general under Legion Commander Gelifen, known as the "Angry Flame Lion," General Kalun.

His strength had also reached the peak of Silver Rank Knight.

General Kalun's gaze was sharp, sweeping over every noble present.

"Everyone!"

His voice was as loud as a bell, instantly suppressing all the noise in the tent.

"By the order of Legion Commander Gelifen, this battle to clear out the Orcs in the Xin Feng Province will be temporarily under my unified command!"

"I know that everyone present is a pillar of the Black Kingdom and the pride of your respective territories!"

"However, on the battlefield, I only need one voice, and that is to obey orders!"

"Anyone who dares to defy military orders or flee before the battle, regardless of noble rank, will be dealt with according to military law! No mercy!"

General Kalun's words were decisive, carrying an extremely thick majesty.

The atmosphere in the tent instantly became heavy.

Some nobles who had originally maintained a slack attitude could not help but restrain their expressions.

Subsequently, General Kalun began to announce the combat plan for this allied force, as well as the defense zones and tasks for each unit.

Roko noticed that his two uncles, Baron Leo and Baron Ban En, were assigned to the left-wing unit of the allied forces, responsible for resisting the Orcs' frontal impact.

This was undoubtedly a bitter job with a high casualty rate.

The expressions of the two uncles also became quite ugly.

As for Roko's Vanguard Valley unit, because they had just arrived, they had not yet been clearly assigned tasks.

After the military council ended, everyone dispersed one after another.

Seventh Uncle and Twelfth Uncle's expressions were not good; they were obviously very dissatisfied with this arrangement but could do nothing about it.

"Roko, you must be careful."

Seventh Uncle Leo patted Roko on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Looking at this posture, the private armies of us nobles are probably going to be used as cannon fodder to fill the lines."

"I don't know how many of us will be able to survive this battle."

Twelfth Uncle Ban En also sighed.

"It's hard to get merit!"

"If you want to be promoted to a noble title, you have to fight with your life."

"I only hope that this sacrifice can be exchanged for enough return."

Roko looked at his two uncles' worried appearance, and his heart felt a bit heavier.

Just then, a middle-aged man in simple clothing walked quickly to Roko and bowed respectfully.

"Excuse me, are you Lord Roko Raymond?"

Roko nodded.

"I am."

The servant showed a warm smile on his face.

"Lord Roko, my master, Earl Leonard Colvin, has been waiting for you in the side tent for a long time."

Uncle-in-law is here!

Roko felt happy in his heart and immediately followed the butler toward the side tent. ===== CHAPTER 72 =====
