"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 messy Magic Turbulence is shaking
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, Landen 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 and passed through the open space in front of the main camp gate, allowing the Mana-Lesss in the camp to see the neat ranks and magnificent military appearance of the territorial Knight Order.
After passing the gate, the cavalry set off and headed south.
Lannia organized the Mana-Wielder and Mana-Less who stayed behind in the camp to sing a farewell song for the departing team.
After Neil left with the reconnaissance battalion, there was a cavalry squadron dominated by Barbarian, then three squadrons of Knight, and finally a reserve team of 150 people and a baggage and food team.
As the deputy leader of Knight Order, Raul simultaneously leads three squadrons of Knight. Landen is waiting for the departure of the Knight team and then sets off with the baggage and food team.
"The next two supplies are up to you." Landen said to Lannia.
Because Landen was in a hurry to set off, although many of them had brought a lot of pre-prepared noodles and sausages in the baggage team, and they also planned to let Barbarian Cavalry hunt continuously during the march, Landen was still worried about insufficient supplies.
"Don't worry, sir, the new batch of noodles and sausages will arrive tomorrow as planned."
Lannia also discovered from his contacts with Landen in the past few days that this lord attaches great importance to baggage and food, and personally approves the main camp's travel speed, safety guarantees, and food rations.
"When we fight, we fight for food and fodder. When I hand over food and fodder to you, I hand over the life and death of the entire team to you. You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders." Landen looked at Lannia and patted her shoulder.
"I will definitely not betray your trust." Lannia saluted Landen solemnly. Landen kept telling him that the entire camp would listen to her arrangements.
Lannia didn't believe it at first. It wasn't until Landen was about to lead the army that Lannia realized that Landen thought of himself as Mana-Wielder. At this moment, Lannia 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 Landen. 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 window for discharging ash under the combustion chamber. The stove can be placed on the carriage to add fuel to cook rice.
"Your stove is so suitable for me." Landen is very satisfied with this stove. Kuryagan and Landen are both people who love to eat. They have discovered each other's hobbies in the past two days. Landen specially went to Kuryagan to eat roasted lamb twice. Now that he saw Kuryagan's gift, he felt that he had found a soulmate.
When the baggage team was halfway through, Landen set off. He wanted to adjust the advancing 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. Mana-Less and our team leveled the foundation of the camp and built simple earth walls, trenches and sanitary trenches, leaving a foundation for the large army to camp here tomorrow.
On November 20, 996, when Landen was preparing to go south, Blue Sparrow Castle was also preparing for a decisive battle with the main force of the Grey Goose Tribe outside the city.
In addition to Main Castle, 50 Knight of the Bristle-Wolf Knights integrated system are already ready to go.
Every member of Knight Order wears brown patent leather Iron Armor with wolf mane decoration. The Iris Shield on their hands has a black wolf head painted on it. The Knight long sword hilt at the waist is also decorated with wolf heads. Even the metal buttons on the Black-Scaled Horse saddles they ride on are also decorated with wolf head patterns.
Bristle-Wolf Knights is a custom-made enchanted equipment that Kempins·Count Bristle-Wolf spent a lot of money to buy over the years. Even if the square array composed of Knight wearing this equipment is in a turbulent environment, it can still perform a group Charge attack by consuming Magic Crystal.
Mass Charge allows all members cast at the same time to move forward at extremely high speeds, and can condense a shock wave composed of Battle Qi at the front of the square, directly tearing apart the enemies in front of the square.
Of course, such a powerful technique is also very Krypton Crystal. Each time it is used, each person consumes at least one Magic Crystal, and a maximum of two Magic Crystal can be used in a battle. It must be maintained by a dedicated person after each battle.
Behind Bristle-Wolf Knights, who is fully equipped, is a team composed of Count Bristle-Wolf vassals and vassals Knight. The equipment composition of this team is difficult to describe. The better ones are Hark father and son and Wild Bear Ridge Baron, they put on a suit of armor ripped off from Barbarian, and rode the captured Black-Scaled Horse.
Among the remaining vassal equipment, the better ones have Black-Scaled Horse and Iron Armor, and the Knight subordinates wear armor passed down from their families and ride the war horses they bought themselves; the worse ones just wear Leather Armor and ordinary war horses, but they can't beat Barbarian at first glance.
Kempins·Count Bristle-Wolf took his eldest son Fernando·Bristle-Wolf and several deputy captains out of the Main Castle building gate behind the castle gate, and walked from the end of the team to the front row, ready to mount their horses.
"Father, they are like this." Seeing the situation of Vassal Knight behind him, Fernando·Bristle-Wolf reminded Count in a low voice. In his opinion, using such a team to fight against Barbarian would only distract from Knight Order's experience.
"They are Knight from Northwest Territory, and this is their battlefield." Count did not answer his son's question and only said empty words.
"Knight, vassals," Count mounted his war horse and made the final mobilization for all Mana-Wielder participating in the war. "The barbarians have already captured Rothe Castle. If we retreat any further, our territory, Wealth, and family members will be kidnapped by these barbarians."
We can only fight to the death with Barbarian!
Today, in the name of Northwest Territory and Count, I swear to His Majesty that the one who makes the first contribution to the decisive battle against Gray Goose will be awarded the title of Viscount Rothe!"
"For His Majesty!" The whole Knight Order cheered behind the castle gate. As the gate of the castle was slowly pulled, the Knights filed out neatly.
On the terrace of Main Castle, a young man with blond hair was looking coldly at Knight Order downstairs. This young man, who is 2.7 meters tall, has a stern face and red eyes, is Dragon Kingdom Blue Dragon Ducal House is a leader of the younger generation and is also Salt and Iron Department's actual agent in Northwest Count Territory, Antrechi·Blue Dragon.
"The two people I pointed to are Hark·Gallop and his eldest son Ryan·Gallop. They risked their lives to deliver important information from Gallop Plains.
In the future, it is very likely that you will obtain the title of Viscount, or even be appointed by King His Majesty to manage Rothe Territory, what do you think?"
Antrechi A taller figure behind him did not respond, and the blond young man didn't care and just continued to pay attention to the battle.
Under the gate of the castle, Knight Order formed a team again. Knight were arranged in a row of 25 people, forming 4 rows. The first two rows were all Bristle-Wolf Knights's Knight, and the vassals were in the last two rows.
Opposite the Knights, the cavalry of Gray Goose Camp had already filed out and lined up in front of the camp gate, preparing to fight.
