"The time has come for the expedition
You look into my eyes uneasily
I capture the atmosphere of my hometown
There was a thunderstorm on the distant plains
The chaotic magic turbulence is trembling
A worried look appears on the temples
Ancestors and gods are calling us
The wind blows from between the black horse's hooves
. . . "
Before setting off, Lant organized all the troops to line up in front of the camp. Each knight squadron and cavalry team rode in a row of four people through the open space in front of the main camp gate, allowing the demon-free people in the camp to Everyone saw the neat team and magnificent military appearance of the Territorial Knights.
After passing the gate, the cavalry set off and headed south.
Lanya organized the demon-loving and demon-free people who stayed behind in the camp and sang a farewell song for the departing team.
After Neil left with the reconnaissance battalion, there was a cavalry squadron dominated by barbarians, then three knight squadrons, and finally a reserve team of 150 people and a baggage and food team.
As the deputy leader of the Knights, Rohr led three squadrons of Knights at the same time, while Lant waited for the Knights to set off and then set off with the baggage and food team.
"The next two supplies are up to you." Lant said to Lanya.
Because Lant was in a hurry to set off, although many of the baggage teams had brought a lot of pre-prepared bread and meat sausages, and they also planned to let the barbarian cavalry continue to hunt during the march, Lant was still afraid of insufficient supplies.
"Don't worry, sir, the new batch of noodles and sausages will arrive tomorrow as planned."
Lanya also discovered during her contacts with Lant in the past few days that this lord attached great importance to baggage and food, and personally approved the main camp's travel speed, safety and food rations.
"When we fight, we fight for food and fodder. When I hand over the food and fodder to you, I hand over the survival of the entire team to you. You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders." Lant looked at Laniya and patted her shoulder.
"I will definitely not betray your trust." Lanya saluted Lant solemnly. Lant kept telling him that the entire camp would listen to her arrangements.
Laniya didn't believe it at first. It wasn't until now that Lant was about to leave with the army that Laniya realized that Lant had regarded herself as a demon possessor. At this moment, Laniya felt pride, responsibility and loneliness.
"Master Chief, Master Chief" Kuryagan came over, "I made a gift for you and it has been placed in the baggage team."
"oh?"
Kuryagan made a marching stove for Lant. The furnace body is cylindrical, with a partition in the middle. On the partition is an iron pot with a ventilable lid. There is not only a special coal combustion chamber under the partition, but also a special coal combustion chamber. There is also a window for ash discharge below, and the stove can be placed on the carriage to add fuel to cook rice.
"This stove of yours is so suitable for me." Lant was very satisfied with the stove. Both Kuryagan and Lant were people who loved to eat. In the past two or three days, they both discovered each other's hobby. Lant was looking for him specially. Kur Yagan ate roasted lamb twice, and now that he saw Kur Yagan’s gift, he felt that he had found a soulmate.
When the baggage team was halfway through, Lant set off. He wanted to adjust the speed of the troops according to the speed of the baggage team.
About 3 hours later, the team marched about 20 kilometers south to set up the first camp. The demon-free team leveled the foundation of the camp and built simple earth walls, trenches and sanitary trenches to prepare for the large army here tomorrow. Set up camp and leave the foundation.
. . . . . . . . .
On November 20, 996, when Lant was preparing to go south, Bluebird Castle was also preparing for a decisive battle with the main force of the Gray Goose tribe outside the city.
Outside the main castle, the 50 knights of the Maned Wolf Knights were ready to go.
Every member of the knights wears brown patent leather armor decorated with wolf manes. The iris shields on their hands have black wolf heads painted on them. The hilts of the knights' long swords at their waists are also decorated with wolf heads. Even their riders The metal buttons on the saddle of the black-scaled horse are also decorated with wolf head patterns.
The customized enchanted equipment of the Knights of the Maned Wolf was exactly what Count Kempins, the Maned Wolf, had spent a lot of money to purchase over the years. The phalanx composed of knights wearing this equipment can survive through consumption even in a turbulent environment. Magic Crystal performs a group assault attack.
Group assault allows all members who are cast at the same time to move forward at an extremely high speed, and can condense a shock wave composed of fighting spirit at the front of the square, directly tearing apart the enemies in front of the target.
Of course, such a powerful technique is also very expensive. Every time it is used, each person consumes at least one magic crystal, and a maximum of two magic crystals can be used in a battle. After each battle, it must be maintained by a dedicated person.
Behind the fully equipped Maned Wolf Knights is a team composed of the vassals of the Earl of Maned Wolf and the knights of the vassals. The equipment composition of this team is difficult to describe. The better ones include Harker and his son and the Baron of Wild Bear Ridge. They put on armor ripped from the barbarians and rode captured black scale horses.
The remaining vassal equipment, the better one has black scale horses and iron armor, and the knights under his subordinates wear the armor passed down by the family and ride the war horses they bought themselves; the worse ones just wear leather armor and ordinary war horses, which will make them fight at the first sight. But barbarians.
Count Kempins Maned Wolf took his eldest son Fernando Maned Wolf and several deputy captains out of the gate of the main castle building behind the castle gate, and walked from the end of the team to the front row, preparing to mount their horses.
"Father, they are like this." Seeing the situation of the vassal knights behind him, Fernando Maned Wolf reminded the count in a low voice that in his opinion, using such a team to fight against the barbarians would only distract from the experience of the knights.
"They are the knights of the Northwest Territory, and this is their battlefield." The earl did not answer his son's question and only said empty words.
"Knights, vassals." After the count mounted his war horse, he made the final mobilization for all those who participated in the battle and embraced the demons. "The barbarians have already taken Lot Castle. If we retreat, our territory, wealth and family will be taken away by these barbarians.
We can only fight to the death with the barbarians!
Today, in the name of the Earl of the Northwest Territory, I swear to Your Majesty that the person who is the first to defeat Gray Goose will be awarded the title of Viscount Roth! "
"For Your Majesty!" The entire knights cheered behind the castle gate. As the gate of the castle was slowly pulled, the knights filed out neatly.
On the terrace of the main castle, a blond young man is watching the knights downstairs with cold eyes. This 2.7-meter-tall young man with a stern face and red eyes is the leader of the young generation of the Blue Dragon Duke family in the Dragon Kingdom. The person is also the actual agent of the Salt and Iron Department in the northwest earldom, Antrege Blue Dragon.
"The two people I pointed to were Huck Galloping Horse and his eldest son Ryan Galloping Horse. They risked their lives to deliver important information from Galloping Horse Plains.
It is very likely that you will receive the title of viscount in the future, and may even be appointed by His Majesty the King to manage Lot territory. What do you think? "
A taller figure behind Antreq did not respond, and the blond young man did not care and just continued to pay attention to the battle.
Under the gate of the castle, the knights reorganized into a team. The knights were arranged in 4 rows, 25 people in a row. The first two rows were knights of the Maned Wolf Knights, and the vassals were in the back two rows.
Opposite the knights, the cavalry from the Gray Goose camp had already filed out and lined up in front of the camp gate, preparing to fight.
