In this way, the 1,500 Guards, a mixed force of reserve soldiers and peasant soldiers commanded by William and Chalumi, slowly advanced towards the east, toward the town captured by the rebels. otbnkotgt Although encouraged by the chaplains accompanying the army, the morale of the army cannot be said to be low.
But because the snow melted and the roads became muddy, the army's marching speed was not very fast.
Besides that, there is an overwhelming shortage of baggage and supplies.
In William's impression, the so-called army should be prepared and strong.
Specifically speaking, the army itself must bring enough dry food for at least half a month.
A large number of baggage trains are needed to accompany the army, and there are enough livestock and carts to turn the entire army into mules and horses.
When setting up camp, you should work hard to shovel the earth, cut wood, and then build a protective wall as high as a person, with tight hanging buckets, and ride horses at night to prevent enemy harassment and attack.
There should be a large number of tents in the military camp, with all kinds of materials available, just like a small city.
It's a pity that under the current circumstances, William can only think about these things.
He didn't have enough civilian men to accompany the army, or the peasant soldiers who were temporarily recruited and originally expected to be civilian men were really not good enough.
They have no formal training.
Unable to work as a scout.
Most of them have night blindness and cannot stay awake at night.
Without knowing how to do soil work, and more importantly, not having enough shovels and axes, and not having professional engineer shovels and saws, it was basically a fantasy for them to build the hard and thick fortress that William desired.
In fact, the soldiers did not even have enough tents, enough mattresses, sleeping bags, or even clothing.
As for replacing manpower, transporting large and heavy animals.
There are also serious deficiencies in the army.
Because they had to prepare for spring plowing, most peasants and soldiers were reluctant to contribute their large livestock, that is, horses and mules.
As mentioned before, most farms in the world use horses for plowing.
The horses and mules could not move at all.
The draft horses cannot move, and the war horses of the private guards cannot move.
William's prestige was not high enough to command these cavalry and use their beloved mounts as livestock.
There are only a few carts and a few livestock, and most of these few livestock are donkeys.
Someone also contributed a small number of cattle, of course, all beef cattle.
They were originally meant to be raised for killing and eating meat.
He has little activity and has never done anything like pulling a cart.
Therefore, most of the baggage can only be transported by manpower.
Look at the peasants and soldiers carrying two sacks each, humming and walking.
William felt helpless.
And after seeing the soldiers sleeping in the mud and water after walking for a day, this feeling of helplessness became even deeper.
There is no stronghold.
In fact, there is not even any protection at all.
There are no sentries on duty.
William once asked.
The answer was a strange look from the cavalrymen of the Private Guards, saying, "What is this guy talking about?"
This made William quite worried.
Yes, the other party, that is, the hostile mobs, would not be able to launch a night attack anyway.
Because their night blindness is more severe than theirs.
They also did not have the perfect organization and sophisticated soldiers to complete this task.
But what about the future.
After this war, when facing other enemies, it was said that there were many strange creatures that had night vision capabilities.
When fighting these enemies, what should we do?
William tried his best to relax and stop thinking about things that he couldn't solve yet.
At least, at least the soldiers under his command still had clothing to keep out the cold and enough food.
Although axes and saws were not enough to chop down enough wood to build a camp.

But it was enough to cut down enough wood to make a fire for warmth and for cooking food.
In contrast, his enemies lacked food and clothing.
There was not enough firewood to make a fire for warmth.
In fact, under his instruction, the army chaplains were using the light of fire to publicize this matter to the soldiers.
And it turns out that this actually works.
The soldiers laughed heartily after hearing these things.
There is absolutely no mercy at all.
"Is it really worse?"
William thought in his heart as he leaned against the tree and watched this scene.
"It's totally unpleasant," he said, stretching out his hand to warm himself.
Although the temperature is gradually rising.
But spring nights are still cold.
It was at this time that Shalumi, who was leaning next to William and half asleep, leaned her head over and fell on his shoulder.
"Are you asleep?
You are quite energetic during the day."
William turned his head and looked at Shalumi.
Then he stretched out his finger and poked her face.
The skin feels very good and soft.
It will sink when you press it.
As for Shalumi, who was treated like this, she had no other response except the vague murmurings of "ah, oh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh".
"It's really cute."
William couldn't help but sigh.
Then he wrapped the blanket around them a little tighter.
The body also leaned closer to Shalumi.
Then he closed his eyes: "Speaking of which, at least today, this time, this war.
I will not lose."
Thinking of this, William couldn't help but smile.
Then, he calmed down and got ready to sleep.
He and Shalumi just cuddled up to each other, wrapped in a blanket, and made do with each other by the fire all night.
Although it sounds quite romantic.
But the actual effect is terrible.
When William woke up the next morning, he felt uncomfortable anywhere in his body.
The cold air seemed to seep directly into the seams of his bones.
If his fighting energy hadn't been activated and automatically warmed his body, then the next two times would have caused the disease.
When you get older, your bones and joints will ache on cloudy days and rainy days.
"So, you still have to practice your fighting spirit well.
If it's not for anything else, it's good to keep yourself alive longer."
After waking up Shalomi, William lifted the blanket and stretched his arms.
I moved my legs and slept all night, thinking this while my already stiff body.
It was at this time that Father Peter came over to him.
After saluting and greetings, he stretched out his palm with a soft white light and waved it gently in front of William.
After that, all William's discomfort disappeared.
The clammy feeling in the bones, the tiredness of not sleeping well, and the soreness of the muscles caused by incorrect posture.
All disappeared in an instant.
The body returned to its best condition in an instant.

"Are you feeling better, Mr.
William?"
"Thank you, Father."
William saluted him quickly.
At the same time, he has a higher evaluation of his strength.
The level of the magical skill just now is probably not too high.
But as easy as he was, able to inspire with just a wave of his hand, some of the bishops in William's impression probably didn't have this ability.
"You're welcome, Mr.
William.
After all, I am also a part of this army, right?"
This time, the priest did not say that everything was the will of the Lord.
This answer also made William feel very comfortable.
After saying these words, Father Peter walked towards Charumi again and did the same thing.
Shalumi, who had benefited from it, was much more interested than William.
The thanks to Father Peter also seemed more sincere.
But William had a feeling.
That was Father Peter's attitude towards her, which was not as good as towards himself.
More like a routine.
It might even be a last resort.
Since he did this to William, he had to treat Shalomi like this.
Otherwise, if you favor one over the other, problems will arise.
This is the feeling.
"Obviously Xia Lumi is the actual commander of this army.
And she is also a countess.
Why would he do this?"
William's doubts deepened.
He couldn't help but frown, and looked at Father Peter with a scrutinizing gaze.
Father Peter, who had his back turned to him, seemed to be aware of the scrutinizing gaze from William behind him.
He then turned around, looked at him with a smile and nodded.
Then he left.
"Hey, William."
Then Shalumi came over, looking very excited: "I never knew before that that guy's magic is so good."
"Really."
William replied: "So you haven't forgotten what I told you before, what you need to pay attention to."
"Yeah."
After hearing what William said, Shalumi also retracted her excited expression: "Yeah, this guy is a bit strange."
She was not stupid.
It would be fine if William didn’t remind me.
But since there was William's reminder, it was natural that he would not fail to notice that something was wrong with the priest.
"Anyway, be careful.
Don't show anything different.
It doesn't matter even if you show it."
Thinking of Shalomi's character and ability issues, William finally did not force it.
That's it.
Three days.

William, Shalumi, and the 1,500 troops under their command walked a distance of about thirty kilometers.
This speed is not too fast, and certainly not too slow, which William can barely accept.
And in contrast to that.
Tan Ma reported that their opponents, the refugee army, only covered half of their distance in three days.
The distance between the two sides is already very close.
They were so close that when both sides lit a fire, they could smell the smoke and the aroma of cooked food.
If the encounter hadn't been close to evening, the two sides would have already started fighting.
As for fighting now, it is indeed impossible to fight.
Both sides have to be busy setting up camp and making fires to cook.
To rest.
Wait until you are done with this.
Night will fall.
Only then can we rest.
After the rest, the next day it was time for the two sides to fight. 160420oshow7:
