The Constructed Knights of the Legion of the North Wind are stationed on a gentle slope south of Durva, where they are stationed because of the sweet well at the bottom of the hillside.The blue sky is white and white, the hillside is covered with a thick layer of alfalfa grass, and a few white butterflies flutter among the flowers.In May, the alfalfa grass blooms, and the entire hillside is covered with a small yellowish color like a starry sky, with the aroma of green grass and the smell of flowers.Stepping on the soft green grass, I saw that on the field in front of the wooden fence of the camp in the distance, hundreds of knights in armor were holding shields, holding knights' heavy swords in their hands and repeating defensive postures and sword swings.On the meadow on the east side, a group of knights in uniform rode their horses around the field.There are about 500 Constructed Knights in a fully equipped order, and each knight carries a servant, a war horse, and a mule with him.This means that the ten Constructed Knights not only have 5,000 Constructed Knights and 5,000 Servants, but also have nearly 10,000 mules and horses in the stables of the camp, and these animals have to drink a lot of fresh water and eat a lot of grain and grass every day.Dulwa Province is a large animal husbandry province, in this vast land is spread over hundreds of pastures, large and small, in the city of Dulwa can easily buy some high-quality alfalfa in the market market, to build the knights' war horses also need to add some beans and grains to the forage to ensure that the war horses do not lose weight.As for the mules in the barracks, they were much less well treated, and they usually had to carry some supplies and rations, and sometimes they had to carry the attendant who wore chain mail and carried crossbow arrows.The 10,000-strong knights' camp looked spectacular, looking like a noisy town from a distance, and the flags of the North Wind Legion fluttered fiercely in the wind at the entrance of the camp.Knights have to do basic training every day to keep themselves in shape.I followed Zach and Ernestine to the gates of the Borean Legion's barracks, where we were met by the patrolling guards of the Constructed Knights, who led us to the Earl of Desmond's tent.Count Desmond was signing some documents in the tent, and there were several knights in costume standing beside him, who seemed to be some high-ranking generals in the Order, and when Earl Desmond saw me and Zach entering the tent, he said to the knights in the tent, "Look who is coming to our camp!"
Wizard Jiga, it's a pleasure to see you here. ”When the knights in costume heard my name, they looked at me in surprise, and their eyes clearly showed that you were the Gilga magician.Three costumed knights came out of the crowd, walked up to me and hugged me, and one of them said to me kindly: "Wizard Jiga, you were the one who saved the lives of our entire group on the fishing lake, and you were so young at that time, I knew that you must be someone with great magical talents. ”"Thank you, thank you for being able to travel thousands of miles to Dulva Province, and thank you for all you have done for the freedom of the Hierro plane."
I speak to the officers of the Knights of the Legion of the North Wind.When the knights in the tent heard me say this, they all looked proud, and several of the knights hurriedly said to me, "We obey the will of the Duke and are more than willing to serve you, Wizard Jiga. ”Count Desmond coughed lightly, tapped the walnut table with his knuckles, and said to the knights, "All right, everyone, hurry up and prepare as we have said!"
”He turned his head to look at me, Zach, and Ernestine, and said kindly, "Let me entertain the Wizard Jiga and the two young leaders of the main battle faction in Durva Province. ”After Count Desmond said this, the knights left the tent one after another, leaving space for us.An adjutant beside Count Desmond brought out a few chairs from the corner, hastily cleaned up the only desk in the tent, and a young man brought us a few cups of bitter black tea, Count Desmond looked at me with a smile and said, "Count Giga, according to the previous instructions of the Duke, I will take you to familiarize yourself with all the knights in this barracks in the next two days, and hand over the Constructed Knights to you, and the Constructed Knights will be completely under your command!"
”I didn't expect Count Desmond to be ready to hand over the command of the ten Constructed Knights to me so soon, I hesitated and refused, "No, not yet!"
Count Desmond, I need some time to learn how to be a commander. ”I've been keeping an eye on Karantso and her orc knights as they venture deep into the southern part of the Green Valley Jungle to contain the spider-man army there, and I'll have to be by her side at all times to ensure that they can be brought back to the caverns in the depths of the Willow Valley at the most critical moment.When the Earl of Desmond heard me say this, he nodded slightly, and said to me meaningfully, "I will help you get acquainted with everything in the barracks as soon as possible." ”When I passed through the back garden of the Duke's Palace of Samoyed, I saw the mountains of supplies, but I was a little worried that the supplies in the Hiero plane were not well prepared.So I asked Zack, "How are the preparations going over there in Pereira?"
”Zach is the kind of aristocratic knight who never lies, and he didn't expect me to turn the conversation to this all at once, repeating: "Military supplies?
”I nodded, "Yes!
”Zach scratched his head in pain, it seemed that he was not very good at logistics.He glanced at Ernestine, and then said to me: "At present, almost more than half of the resources of the Hiero plane are gathered in Pereira City, and I have applied for the supply of forty Constructed Knights from above, even the logistics baggage regiment has been recruiting troops in Pereira City, so we should not stretch the supply line too long." ”The main battle faction of Durva Province has gathered a total of thirty Constructed Knights in Pereira City, and Zach said that they have prepared military supplies for forty Constructed Knights, which are obviously prepared for the Constructed Knights of the Northern Wind Legion.I asked Zack, "What about the heavy infantry regiment under the Duke?"
”I think it's right for the hoplite regiments in Durva to send at least a few warbands, and the fighters of those hoplite regiments are good at positional warfare.Zack's face flushed slightly, and he said with some humility: "Each infantry regiment has a corresponding defense area, and those war regiments are mainly controlled by conservatives, and they have to defend Pereira City, the last city of the Green Empire in the Hierro plane. ”I immediately understood what Zach meant, and he couldn't command the hoplite regiments at all.I then asked Zack, "Zach, do you have a specific battle plan at the moment?"
”"Of course, Jiga!"
Zach said without hesitation.Apparently he was prepared, Zach rose from his chair and took out a roll of maps from his bosom and laid it flat on the table, flattening the corners with a glass of water.I saw the marks on the map that were drawn in pencil and then erased, and it seemed that Zach had been discussing the map a lot.He took out a red and blue pencil in his hand, puffed out his chest and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, then it is up to me to introduce to you our strategic intentions this time. ”Zack drew two red and blue lines on the map, starting from Pereira City, starting from the east and west respectively, until the Duke of Samoyed's easternmost Angelos City and the westernmost Thunder Pillar City on the Hierro plane, said: "Restricted by the supply line, our initial plan is to divide the forty Constructed Knights into two expeditionary forces, the east and the west, and I will lead fifteen Constructed Knights and 25,000 followers, from Pereira City all the way to the west, through the Blood Ring Stone City, and finally arrive at Thunder Pillar City.Ernestine led fifteen Constructed Knights and another 25,000 retinues from Pereira to the east, passing through the city of Gulabash and finally reaching the city of Angelos. ”Afterwards, Zach glanced at me and Count Desmond and said, "As for the Legion of the North Wind led by Giga and Count Desmond, you can first clear the Spider stronghold in the forest near Pereira City, and be familiar with the environment of the Hiero plane and the hot, humid and rainy climate. ”There was no battle plan for Tanton City, which made me a little angry.I asked Zach very directly: "Why didn't you consider the first line of Tanton City, which is the southern gate of the northern Black Forest, and the nearest way to the southern area of the Black Forest, starting from Tanton City!"
”Zach and Ernestine looked at each other, obviously knowing that I was going to ask this question.Zach wiped his palm on the hem of the chain mail, leaned over to me, and whispered to me, "Tanton City?"
Most of that city has been destroyed by the Nibru spiders, and the most important military stronghold of Trump has long been destroyed, and our army along the route will not get any material supplies, all material supplies need to be continuously transported from Pereira City, if it is divided into three supply lines, the night pressure on our logistics baggage regiment is too great. ”He saw that I was sitting there indifferently, so he stubbornly continued: "After repeated discussions with the military department, we agreed that after the east and west lines are opened, our expeditionary force will form a flanking attack on Tanton City, and we will set off from Thunder Pillar City and Angelos City at the same time, and finally recover Tanton City, so that even if the territory originally owned by the Hiero Plane is completely recovered, in fact, the goal we originally set was to recover the four cities of Blood Ring Stone City, Thunder Pillar City, Gulabash City, and Angelos City. ”Apparently he knew what I cared about, what Tanton City meant to me, and a little bit about me building a town in the Trum area of Tanton City.But in his battle plan, there is no content about Tanton City, which is not in my personal interest.I asked the Knights of the Borean Legion from Sloit to come to the Hierro Plane to help, and I couldn't have just gone through a free tour.Zach took a sip of tea and continued to me: "Please don't worry about your Trum territory, our suggestion is that we hope that you can postpone the construction of Trum Town, and the Duke promises to compensate you with a territory about the size of the Trum region in Blood Ring Stone City or Gulabash City, and guarantee that there will be two towns with various facilities on that territory. ”I rubbed my brow with my fingers a little distressed, and talked about compensation so quickly, it was clear that Tanton City was not in their plans.Ernestine, who was sitting next to Zack, never interjected, sat upright in his chair, and the temperament cultivated in the army lingered no matter what.I exhaled a long breath, clenched my fists and said to Zack: "We will solve the supply of materials needed by the North Wind Legion ourselves, and we don't need the logistics and supplies of Pereira City!"
”In Zack's stunned gaze, I then said to Count Desmond, "Count Desmond, I need you to bring the Knights of Formation to Tanton City on the Hierro Plane, where I will greet you. ”When the Earl of Desmond heard me say this, he re-examined me, and said without hesitation, "Tanton, all right, as soon as I reach the city of Pereira, I will lead the knights there." ”I guessed correctly, Earl Desmond was Duke Jingyue's staunchest supporter.That's why in this situation, he didn't hesitate to support my decision.Then, he took out the scale and drew the route of the army on the map with a focused expression, and said to himself, "Let me do the math, even if it is a dense black pine forest, based on the speed of our construction of the Knights, it will take about a week and a half to reach Tanton City. ”I frowned, and suddenly thought of the path that Kig and I had taken on foot through the Black Forest last summer.I said to Count Desmond: "If you can rent a magic airship in Pereira City, try to rent a magic airship, now that the wurms in the Hierro plane have been almost slaughtered by the Nibru spiders, there will be no more such big guys in the air to disrupt the route, this is the safest route, I will bear all the costs incurred and all the supplies needed in the future." ”Count Desmond nodded, a hint of surprise in his dark blue eyes.He probably didn't expect me to say that and look like that.I pulled the red and blue pencil out of Zack's hand and redrew a line on the map, leading directly from Pereira to Tanton, then to the Green Valley Forest, and finally to the southern part of the Black Forest.I said to Zach, "My strategic goal is not Tanton, I will lead the constructed knights of the Northern Legion from Tanton, and I will go all the way south to conquer the southern forest where the knights of the Samoyed Duke have not yet set foot."
According to the Grimm Empire's Dimensional Expeditionary Lord Protection Law, one-third of those territories will belong to the Grimm Empire, one-third will belong to the Duke of Samoyed, and one-third will belong to me. ”Zach and Ernestin both opened their mouths wide, and they both asked me in unison, "Jijia, are you preparing for a three-front battle?"
”Instead of answering their questions, I turned to Count Desmond and asked, "Count Desmond, do you dare to bet on me?"
I want to go to the forest areas that don't belong to us in the first place!
”Count Desmond looked at me with confidence, and said to me, "Follow your will, Count Giga. ”I saw that he said so firmly, and I was slightly relieved in my heart, with the support of the new force of the Knights of the North Wind Legion, the crisis faced by the Oro natives and the ancient trees of war on the side of the Green Valley Dense Forest could be resolved.I subconsciously touched the key of power on my chest and said to Count Desmond, "In fact, those spider-man warriors are weaker than the barbarians on the ice and tundra, and I have recently summarized a set of rules for survival in the Black Forest, and I believe that the same Durva's constructed knights apply. ”After that, I took out two bottles of ointment from my magic belt bag, one was applied to my body to prevent the bites of all poisonous insects, snakes and ants in the Black Forest, and the other was to treat skin diseases in the humid and hot environment of the Black Forest
