The two came to the lord's mansion to prepare for a business, and as soon as they entered the door, they felt a depressing atmosphere.

Heidi stood in front of the map with a frown, looking at a spot on it, while the other high-ranking military officials who came to communicate sat or stood, and no one spoke.

Cleaver looked around, his gaze finally resting on Tracy's body, this dogleg broke through to the Douqi Martial Artist realm half a month ago, and is now his adjutant, he stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Tracy raised his head, saw that it was his chief, immediately saluted, also lowered his voice, and replied: "The territory is not peaceful around, and demons are appearing more and more frequently. ”

When Cliffor heard this, he immediately smiled: "What a good thing!"

When he said this, he immediately attracted countless stunned eyes.

Clifford realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly changed his words: "Heaven damn demons, sooner or later we will get rid of them all." ”

Heidi turned around, ignored the embarrassed Cliffor, and said to everyone present: "There are six cavalry squadrons, eleven infantry squadrons, five reserve squadrons, and seven militia squadrons in the territory, which is more than enough to protect the security of the territory. ”

Everyone nodded in affirmation of what she said, but no one answered, but waited for the next step.

Heidi sighed, "We are now more than capable of protecting ourselves, but there are lords asking us for help, what should you do?"

Henry was Heidi's most relied on subordinate, calm and sophisticated, and was quite popular with officers at all levels of the army, so she looked at each other for the first time.

Henry pondered for a moment: "If we have to send troops, we will send up to two cavalry squadrons and four infantry squadrons, which is already the greatest help we can provide." ”

Heidi nodded when she heard this: "I think so too, the premise of helping others is to ensure your own safety." ”

Then she looked at the others: "Don't be bored, everyone, and express your opinions." ”

When Cliffor heard this, he immediately became energetic: "I agree with the lord's statement, I will go and organize the manpower." ”

After that, he was about to turn around and leave, but fortunately he was stopped by Henry in time: "What are you anxious about, listen to other people's opinions." ”

Clifford looked displeased and muttered, "Isn't Miss Heidi already speaking, what else can anyone else think?" ”

Everyone was speechless, they really didn't know how this guy got into the position of the leader of the Black Cavalry.

At this time, Tracy suddenly stood up and expressed his opinion: "Actually, we can send four infantry squadrons to the rescue, and the main job of the cavalry is to patrol the territory. ”

He looked at the crowd and seemed to ask for advice: "Baron Jody's territory is not far from us, and it can be reached in ten hours at most at the marching speed of the infantry. ”

Hearing this, Cleaver almost provoked a white-eyed wolf to scold him, isn't this an elbow turned out.

Tracy didn't look at him, and continued: "Recently, it has been all cavalry fighting, and they have enough experience in dealing with demons that they can easily solve the problems encountered by Baron Jordy, but we must think about it for the future. ”

He glanced at everyone: "This is a full-scale war, and now it is only the beginning of the war, and the danger is small, so it is really useless to let the cavalry rush to the aid of other territories." ”

Tracy's words made Cliffor a little proud, after all, these excellent cavalry were cultivated by him.

Seeing that his expression was not hideous, Tracy couldn't help but sigh, and then talked eloquently: "The territory has recruited a lot of recruits, although their strength is good, but they basically have no actual combat experience, you can send them out for actual combat training." ”

Hearing his words, the crowd began to communicate with each other, and nodded frequently, apparently very much in favor of the idea, and the limitation of the number of cavalry gave them some choice.

Heidi had an approving look in her eyes, and she felt more and more that this was a talent, but when she noticed Cleaver's resentful face, she couldn't help but have a headache.

Recruits have to participate in actual combat, and the mood of veterans naturally has to be taken care of.

So she decided: "I'm afraid that it will be dangerous to send new recruits alone, so let Cleaver lead a cavalry squadron to protect the surroundings, first use the mobility of the cavalry to eat a small group of demons, and then use the infantry to carry out a large-scale encirclement and suppression." ”

Everyone knew what she was thinking, and they all nodded in agreement.

Clifford said that it didn't matter, it didn't matter to him how many people he could take out, and finally there was a fight, and there were demons to kill.

The order was given quickly, and Cliffor and Henry personally led a squadron of cavalry and four squadrons of infantry to Baron Jody's territory, more than half of the five hundred recruits, and the expedition was a complete exercise for them.

The team of hundreds of people marched mightily, and soon out of the county of Meredith.

The recruits were a little excited, while the veterans were much calmer, and some even had solemn faces.

The frequent occurrence of demons around the territory and the fact that they have now spread to the surrounding area is not good news.

In the evening of the next day, the party entered Baron Jon's territory.

Henry and Coliver rode side by side, Coliver's expression slowly changed from initial excitement to worry, he looked at the overgrown fields around him and said, "The demon plague is terrible, you see the land here, all the barren. ”

Henry observed the situation around him, and his face was also a little ugly.

It's the height of summer, the month when wheat grows at its most luxuriant, and you can see the land around it, full of weeds, and so desolate.

The fertile farmland in the past has become barren grassland, and in some places there is not even barren grass, all of which have become scorched earth.

Henry took a deep breath and said, "Judging from the current situation, the situation in Baron Jon's realm is not optimistic. ”

Cleaver said with some rejoicing, "Fortunately, Renard came back in time, otherwise our territory might be like this." ”

Henry nodded thoughtfully, it is undeniable that if the number of troops before is alone, I am afraid that it will really not be able to protect the territory.

As they spoke, the team came to a desolate village, and looked at the ruins and human corpses all over the ground, and the two could no longer remain calm.

The recruits looked surprised and muttered to each other, "Has the demonic plague developed to this point?"

If you don't leave the county of Meredith, you don't know that the place where you live is simply paradise.

Henry's complexion was hard to see, and so was Cliffor.

Tracy took the people around the village twice and brought back even more terrible news: "All the people in the village have been eaten." ”

Notice that he is eating, not killing.

That's the horror of demons, humans are actually delicious food in their eyes.
