It was a pity that although Li Anjie was optimistic about John, he did not expect him to lead the newly formed troops to conquer the land of Morris Territory.
Even the disabled Morris family has enough troops to defend after adding reinforcements from the north.
On the other hand, John's hands were all composed of C-class imperial people.
Although the number was more than 50,000, which was half of the entire army, in terms of combat effectiveness, when John really took over, he understood that there was no normal way.
The method relies on such soldiers to defeat the Morris family with the assistance of Marquis Clark.
However, the task Li Anjie gave him was very simple.
With more than 50,000 troops and some civilians, it would be difficult for others to realize that their main force was no longer there.
As for the Morris family, they were so frightened by Brilliant City that they didn't dare to take the initiative.
John and his team did not encounter many decent attacks along the way, and even the town of the Morris family did not have regular guards.
It was obvious that the Morris family was preparing to use these territories to disperse their forces and lead them into the hinterland for a decisive battle or defensive counterattack.
And knowing that Lorne also secretly led troops hiding in unknown corners, John could make bold guesses.
If he were in Lorne's position, if he wanted to make a sneak attack, he would choose to lead the northern cavalry into the battle at the critical moment of the decisive battle between himself and the Morris family.
Not familiar with the Morris family's land, as long as Lorne didn't bring many people, it wouldn't be difficult to avoid the scouts from Brilliant City.
Originally, John's idea was to defeat the Morris family and Marquis Clark's army before Lorne arrived, and then attack Lorne together with Li Anjie, but now it was a little difficult to implement this plan.
It was only John's own guess that Lorne would join him in the decisive battle with the Morris family.
But in fact, Lorne, who wanted to use Glory City's sword to kill the Clark family, had no intention of joining the decisive battle.
Thinking that he must first understand the Li family's use of firearms, Lorne did not allow the Morris family to concentrate on the strategy of decisive battle.
The communication ordered Marquis Clark to take the initiative to attack and test the strength of Brilliant City.
Of course, the Marquis, who was not good at defense, would not object.
What's more, it's not just Lorne who wants to figure out the power of Brilliant City, the Marquis himself also needs to figure out what those heretics are capable of.
During this period of time spent with the Morris family, he found that the situation here was far from what Richard said.
The Morris family's problem is not a lack of troops, but their fear of war is their biggest problem.
It is hard to imagine that the Morris family, which guards the western frontier of the empire, would adopt such a conservative strategy of comprehensive contraction in the face of aggressive heresy.
However, when Marquis Clark proposed to take the initiative, Richard and his father, Marquis Morris, specially He took him to visit the Morris family's wounded barracks.
Like the Northern Territory, as a place where frequent wars occurred in the empire, the church also established a dedicated parish in Morris Territory.
Their bishop was even a member of the Morris family, and with the assistance of the Holy Light, Marquis Clark could not think of any reason to set up a wounded battalion.
But after he saw that the camp was full of disabled people with missing arms and legs, the Marquis understood everything.
Soldiers who should be training on the training ground, soldiers who make a career out of killing people.
Hands and feet are their most important things, and they are also the basic tools for a person to make a living.
A missing arm or leg was a death sentence for them.
From the dead expressions of these people, Marquis Clark believed that they actually wished to die now.
At least after death, they won't need help to walk like they do now.
It can be said that these people with broken legs have no value as soldiers.
The guys with severed hands were not much better than them.
As for those who were worse, Marquis Clark had no interest in looking at them anymore.
"It was caused by heretical weapons" The soldiers in the north are not afraid of death, but the price of being disabled is too high.
The Marquis can understand why the Morris family is afraid of fighting.
If there is such a disabled battalion in his army, then Marquis Clark cannot guarantee whether his army can maintain its original combat effectiveness and charge to the enemy without hesitation.
But with so many disability cases, Marquis Clark's somewhat bizarre weapons look like what they are.
He had also seen the scene of gunpowder explosion.
To be honest, the effect was indeed shocking, but the lethality was far less terrifying than the earth-shattering sound.
As for the heretic weapons, even if Marquis Clark didn't ask, Richard and his father would explain them in detail.
The Morris family no longer has much fighting power.
Whether they can keep their territory depends on the warriors in the north.
"Yes, please come with me, Marquis."

Making a gesture of invitation, Marquis Morris and Marquis Clark walked out of the camp that had lost hope.
However, unlike what Marquis Clark expected, what Morris and his son showed him were only a batch of huge iron balls and a pile of strange broken iron pieces.
Not understanding what these were, Marquis Clark asked Morris and his son again: "Your Excellency, please take me to see what these are."
Iron is definitely not considered trash in the empire.
Even if it's tattered, it can still be recycled.
It's no wonder that Marquis Clark felt strange that the Morris family left so many things that were obviously still salvageable in such a place.
The answer from Richard and his son was very dignified.
"Your Majesty the Marquis, don't underestimate these things.
It's these things that turned the soldiers of our Morris family into what they are."
As Marquis Morris spoke, he pointed at the big iron balls and explained in detail.
"I don't know what kind of method the heretics used.
This kind of iron ball that can only be picked up when surrounded by one person, they can actually launch it a thousand steps away.
Moreover, the speed is astonishing and the power is extremely terrifying.
As long as you are slightly scratched, you will inevitably be seriously injured no matter how hard the armor is.
What's even more terrifying is that after landing, it can bounce back and continue to kill our soldiers.
Many soldiers of our Morris family died from these things, and many of the injured in the wounded barracks just now were also injured by these things. " Marquis Clark didn't want to believe that a seemingly ordinary iron ball with a slight weight could have such terrifying power, but the facts were in front of him.
There was no need for the Morris family to make such a joke with him.
And before Marquis Maurice finished speaking, after pointing at the intact iron balls, he pointed at the broken iron pieces again
