Chapter 1006 992. Departure
The lake washes against the beach on the shore, and the sound of the waves hitting the beach is the most beautiful note of nature. Sitting on the grass by the lake and listening quietly, you will have a feeling of emptying your mind.
Miss mermaid Sia and Dennis were sitting on the grass by the lake, and they actually had grilled fish to eat!
The marching tent not far away was brightly lit, and Suldak sent Quintas the Great Swordsman, Louis Fitch Quartermaster, Harper the Archmage, the Magician Avid, Samira, the Bearded Edgar and A squadron leader of the Resistance named Ned Mosby was called, and everyone gathered in a tent for a discussion.
Suldak built a square table out of wooden boxes in the middle of the tent, with a lantern hanging above his head, and there were still a few bags of wheat flour in the corner of the tent that he hadn’t had time to remove.
Suldak said:
"The next first step, I will recover Bansko Town, and then expand northward based on Bansko Town."
The map on the square table was kindly provided by the Resistance Army Roundtable. The mountains and rivers on the map are drawn in great detail, mainly indicating some canyons and mountain passes hidden in the dense forest.
Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Suldak continued:
"Now the Third Army of the Lord's Army is still staying in the eastern suburbs of Bansko Town to clean up the remaining resistance forces. I plan to rush there now and contain the Lord's Army in the mountains to prevent them from retreating back to Banks Town. I don't want to put the battlefield in the town of Bansko."
"In addition, the Third Army is one of the three main forces of Lord MacDonnell's army. They are most famous as the heavy cavalry regiment, but the heavy cavalry regiment can't exert any combat power in the mountains here, so this is for us. It’s an advantage to say the least.”
Suldak and Quintas Great Swordsman have just discussed, and this battle will use the Constructed Swordsman Group as the main force.
Sitting next to the Great Swordsman Quintus, Archmage Harper drooped his eyelids, and his eyes fell on the map. After Suldak finished speaking, he continued: "This time, the magicians of the law enforcement team will cooperate with you action."
He raised his eyes, and there was a trace of magic in his eyes.
Master Harper continued: "I want to know where those demon servants and hellhounds come from."
Hearing what Archmage Harper said, the atmosphere in the tent became a little dignified.
If it is just to deal with Lord MacDonnell's army, everyone doesn't think this war is so difficult, but once the demons participate, this kind of cross-race war is usually an endless life-and-death battle, and it is impossible to have The drama of paying ransom in exchange for captives.
Master Harper continued:
"Just now, our people were investigating in the town. Hell dogs and demon servants have appeared on the battlefield here half a year ago. Avid, you have been with Lord McDonnell for a while. Could it be that Haven't found any signs of this?"
He turned his head to look at the magician Avid, with a little questioning in his tone.
Of course, this is also the job of the law enforcement team magician.
With a bitter face, Avid explained: "I'm with Lord MacDonnell. Lord MacDonnell has been in Tarapa for more than half a year to resist the Bena coalition forces. He has no time to manage the Ganbu plane. His sons have always been in charge of the affairs on the cloth plane."
Archmage Harper asked Ivid: "The black magic hermit society has spread to such a degree here, and the local magic union has not responded?"
Avid shrank his body back a little, and a good battle plan discussion meeting turned into his public trial in a blink of an eye.
He didn't dare to offend the members of the law enforcement team, so he quickly explained: "When I was in Takale Town, I didn't hear any relevant information."
The Great Swordsman Quintus also felt that there was no need to discuss this here, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Viscount Suldak, when will we leave for Bansko Town?"
"Leave tomorrow morning." Suldak said. "The recruiting plan here is temporarily handed over to Dennis. The fighters who joined the heavy armored infantry regiment today will act with us. I will spread the news. There should be more resistance fighters joining along the way."
The great swordsman Quintus thought that Suldak would stay in the canyon town for a few days to recruit troops, but he did not expect him to leave in such a hurry.
Since Suldak said so, Quintas Great Swordsman could only fully support him, so he said bluntly:
"Okay, then we will set off tomorrow morning."
This meeting talked about various preparations for the next, and these people in the tent dispersed in a hurry.
…
The late night on the Ganbu plane happened to be the morning of Bena City, and Suldak had to go there. This time, he didn't go out to buy things in person, but went directly to the butcher shop owner Shan De to help him buy.
The business of the butcher shop in the Shande Magic Market is not bad, and fresh meat from the World of Warcraft from the Bailin plane is continuously delivered.
But everyone seems to be getting tired of this kind of powerful ghost-striped red ant meat. Many magicians sent their assistants to ask when the salamanders will arrive.
Suldak can only tell him that he may not be able to do it these days...
…
The sky was bright, and the swordsmen who built the swordsman group had already finished their breakfast and dismantled the temporary camp in an orderly manner. Although they only completed the camp yesterday afternoon, many of the wooden frames that had been built were completely dismantled and piled up together Form square timber stacks.
Compared to these constructed swordsmen, those fighters who were originally from the Resistance Army appear to have much poorer military literacy.
They rushed from the town to the lake one after another, even when they walked, they were loose and loose. The gap was very obvious. Some newbies didn't even understand anything, and they were still playing on the road.
They gathered on the grass by the lake and lined up very loosely, in small groups, and some even stood in the lake to wash.
Suldak regretted not directly bringing over the commanders who lent him Marquis Luther.
At this time, I happened to see Ned Mosby rushing from Canyon Town to the lake, followed by a large group of resistance fighters, so I quickly asked him to organize and rectify these recruits, count the number of fighters again, and after checking with the roster, these The fighters will be the first soldiers of the hoplites.
Dennis, Sia and others also rushed to the lake, and Suldak announced the resolution last night.
Dennis asked in surprise: "What... the recruitment work hasn't been completed yet, is it about to go to the battlefield? Don't recruits go through training?"
Sia also asked curiously: "We're leaving, what about the canyon town?"
Suldak stood in front of Dennis and said: "Dennis, I plan to entrust you with the work of recruiting and absorbing new recruits here!"
The long-legged girl opened her mouth wide, pointed at her plain face, and asked, "Leave this matter to me?"
Suldak nodded and said: "I will leave some food and a sum of funds, you just need to gather the recruits who came to report, and when we regain Bansko Town, you will take them to Bansko Town .”
He pointed to the wounded who came to Canyon Town from Bansko Town, and confessed to Dennis:
"Dennis, these wounded soldiers, you also need to take better care of them, and take them there together when Bankstown is recovered."
"Understood." Dennis pursed his lips and agreed.
Apparently Dennis is excited about her new job...
Suldak didn't wait any longer, and took Dennis directly to his marching tent, and said to her: "This tent and the inside will be left to you, complete the recruitment work here in Canyon Town, and take care of those wounded."
As he spoke, he opened the curtain of the tent, which was almost filled with bags of wheat flour, and the entire tent was actually full of grain.
Dennis patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I will complete the recruitment task!"
The camp by the lake was still distributing wheat cakes to the newly joined resistance army, and Suldak was already standing on a big rock by the lake, calling all the recruits of the heavy armored infantry regiment to gather here.
Not far away, the Constructed Swordsmen are ready to go.
Suldak waited for the recruits to get together. With the efforts of Ned Mosby, the recruits were finally arranged in a crooked square formation.
Suldak shouted to them from a height:
"Okay, before leaving, there is still time for everyone to quit."
"But as long as you leave Canyon Town with us and take the first step towards Bansko Town, if you want to regret it, then you are a deserter, and I will personally send you to the military court of Bena."
"According to the Benar military management regulations, all deserters on the battlefield are treated as slaves."
"Everyone must think about it, behind the favorable conditions is a strict military management system."
"Of course, and the glory of being a Bena soldier!"
The group of recruits gathered in front of Suldak was very emotional, and no one wanted to quit at this time.
…
Soon the team set off from the lake in Canyon Town and headed straight for Bansko Town.
During the time when Suldak was sorting out the recruits of the heavy armored infantry regiment, the magicians were already riding west along the river on magic gongs.
The bearded Edgar had already returned to the Lingnan camp overnight, preparing to call the soldiers there to join Suldak in Bansko Town.
Suldak did not walk along the river, it would be a long way to go that way.
He chose to take the road that Dennis took him to the last time he went to Bansko Town. Although his memory is a little vague about that road, many people in the resistance army are familiar with this road.
The Constructed Swordsman Regiment was at the forefront. The newly recruited heavy armored infantry regiment recruits were organized into a squadron of sixty by Ned Mosby. A squadron is about to follow on the road immediately.
Seeing that these swordsmen lined up neatly, even their steps were extremely consistent, the recruits of the heavy armored infantry regiment who followed were obviously unable to do so, but after all, they had the power of role models, so the recruits followed the example of the swordsmen and walked in line .
Just like that, a newly formed new army, without any weapons or armor, followed the construction swordsman group on the road.
The great swordsman Quintus frowned when he saw these new troops who didn't even have half a piece of leather armor on them.
Some resistance fighters originally still had some leather armor and messy weapons, but Suldak informed them last night that the heavy armored infantry regiment will be responsible for all of their armor and weapons, and there is no need to return their leather armor and weapons. take it with you.
So in the morning, the new troops of these heavy armored infantry regiments came to the lake in only thin linen clothes.
He has a straightforward personality and a straightforward way of speaking. He found Suldak directly and questioned him:
"Dak, are you trying to send this group of new troops to the battlefield as cannon fodder?"
Suldak and Ned Mosby are counting the number of people on the list. At present, thirty squadrons have been formed, and there are still many recruits waiting by the lake.
It is initially estimated that there will be about 3,000 of these new troops. Now each squadron has a squadron leader, and these squadron leaders are also handpicked by Ned Mosby.
Suldak put down the charcoal pencil in his hand, smiled at Quintas Great Swordsman, and said:
"Cannon fodder? How is it possible? The lives of these resistance fighters are precious. They have already been tempered on the battlefield. I have no intention of sending them to the battlefield until the equipment is ready..."
"Have you ever thought about what to do with such equipment?" Quintas the Great Swordsman asked, "Will not all the equipment be captured on the battlefield?"
Suldak quickly waved his hand in denial: "Of course not. In fact, I also brought some of the standard armor of the heavy armored infantry. Now I am selecting excellent fighters in the team to form the first heavy armored infantry regiment of 1,500 people. "
"No way, you can bring these supplies too?" Quintas Great Swordsman saw the large amount of rations that Suldak left for Dennis, and now Suldak said that he had prepared a batch of heavy armor, Almost dropped my jaw.
"I did bring some..." Suldak said with a smile.
Since there are no horses, everyone in the team can only walk.
The road outside Canyon Town is full of potholes and very muddy.
Start in the morning and rest in the evening.
If you get hungry on the way, eat the toasted oatmeal that was handed out in the morning.
Suldak let the two-headed ogre rush to the front of the line, and then sat on the side of the road, and began to distribute the first daily necessities to the new soldiers in the heavy armored infantry regiment. With a cork, there is a **** the water bladder that can be carried on the body.
And there are hot-stamped four-leaf clover marks on the leather surface on both sides of the water bag. It is said that this is the mark of the largest water bag making workshop in Bena Province.
For the two-headed ogre, it is also very novel to distribute water pouches to every new soldier.
Afterwards, the two-headed ogre distributed a copper round small pot to everyone in the new army. He said it could be a small pot or a lunch box. The bronze ware is heavy to start with.
The third daily necessities can be said to be a weapon, a horn dagger, as long as this kind of dagger is used for skinning and cutting flesh.
Not all daggers are made very carefully, and they are all brand new. Pulled out of the leather sheath, there is still a faint smell of grease on the blade.
