In the afternoon, the sun gradually faded, dark clouds were thick, thunder was gusting, and heavy rain fell instantly, waving away a trace of warmth in the original air. ，

In the hall of the Twilight Castle, the candlelight flickered, and on the large table under the candlelight, there were a large number of maps, which covered the entire terrain of the entire Fire Wheat Territory, and each map represented a barony.

These drawings are the result of the Shadow Section's establishment until not long ago, and each one is very precious.

Right now, there were three tall figures at the table, walking back and forth, and from time to time there would be a discouraged sigh from among the three.

"I said Bud, can you stop sighing! dare to help find it!" Barton looked at Bud who was following his ass, not working, and still sighing all the time, he was really angry!

"Oh, yes, yes, father, big brother, I'm here to help!" Bud nodded hurriedly, and began to look for something on the table, following Barton's example.

The three tall figures, naturally, were Antonio, and his two sons, Barton and Bard.

Allen, on the other hand, leaned against the fireplace, looking through the precious books scavenged from the mansions of the great nobles.

Allen has always felt that direct recruitment from civilians is not the best choice, after all, recruiting from the civilians below, most of the soldiers obtained have no combat experience, and most of the quality is worrying, if they want to make them originally civilians reach the level of being able to fight, it takes a lot of energy, it is not as good as cultivating a young reserve warrior, and the soldiers trained from the teenager have guaranteed both quality and loyalty.

Therefore, Alan is going to establish a reserve base, and use the base to train teenagers, and the reserve warriors trained from the base will supply a corps under Allen to choose from three knights, as for the Flame Knights, Allen does not plan to expand for a long time. ，

In Allen's vision, the reserve soldiers who will come out of the base in the future are naturally very good, and their comprehensive quality is much higher than that of the current soldiers, and the three major knights and the Heilan Legion each have a part of the quota.

Idle and bored, Alan decided to find a address for the base, and this time the base address was originally Alan was looking for it alone, but it happened that Antonio came to report on the matter, so Alan handed over the good thing of addressing to him, and the price paid was that the first batch of reserve soldiers, the Knights of the Blue Wilderness, could be given priority.

As for Bad Barton, he was called over by Antonio to help, and Alan didn't stop it, after all, the relationship between the two sides was there.

After Allen read three thick books, Antonio finally ended his search and walked over with three maps.

"Lord Earl, according to the requirements for establishing a base, my subordinates have found three places that are more suitable for establishing a base!"

"Tell me about it!" Alan said, putting down the book in his hand, looking up.

"Yes! These three places are the Black Rock Mountain in the Barony of Copper Mountain in the Golden Iron Collar, the Red Bud Mountain in the Purple Leaf Barony of the Flying Fish Collar, and the Poplar Barony Fas Mountain to the east of the Twilight Collar, these three mountains and forests all have special terrain, there is a huge space inside, and there is only one way into the mountain! It is relatively hidden, and it is a good place to establish a base!" Antonio said.

Alan took three topographic maps from Antonio's hand, looked at them carefully, and after a while, said, "Just choose Mount Fas!"

The three places, Alan has looked at carefully, the Black Rock Mountain is too high, and the Red Bud Mountain is densely wooded, compared to the Fas Mountain, it has obvious shortcomings, and the Fas Mountain is close to Twilight City, close to the center of the Fire Wheat Collar, the transportation of materials is extremely convenient, and it is deep in the hinterland of the Fire Wheat Territory, which is very safe.

Subsequently, Allen directly ordered the Logistics Bureau and the Industrial Construction Department to immediately send people to Fas Mountain to conduct on-site surveys and make preliminary preparations.

After all, it is now in the midst of war, and the resources of the territory of the territory must be highly coordinated with the actions of several large armies, and once the reserve base is built, it will definitely cost a lot of manpower and material resources in the territory, but it will not bring benefits to Alan in a short time.

And the reserve base is not one, once Alan establishes the principality, the pre-selected base of Mount Fas is the test field.

Solving the problem of the base address, Alan lazily returned to the fireplace once more, flipping through the fourth book.

"Da! Da!"

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came, and Andy hurried in.

"Andy, why are you so flustered?" asked Alan with a frown, looking at an anxious Andy.

"Lord Earl!, the latest news, Bouga City has been breached!Now the army of the Duchy of Blue has advanced to the border of the territory and is stationed!" Andy let out a long breath after saying that.

Alan's expression changed, he stood up, and said to the outside, "Someone! summon Antonio back!"

"You sit first!" Alan said, gesturing to his chair.

"Yes!" Andy, with a grim face, did not refuse, and found a seat to sit down.

It wasn't long before a confused Antonio walked in again, and Alan informed him about it.

"My lord!" his subordinates decided to return to the camp at once, in case the army of Blue broke into the territory!" Antonio said with an anxious expression.

"Don't worry, it's too late, after all, the army of the Duchy of Blue has only broken through Bouga City, they still need to rest, with Count Reagan, they will definitely not attack easily after knowing our strength!" Allen said lightly.

"Yes!"

Despite this, the worry on Antonio's face did not subside at all.

"This time, the army of the Duchy of Blue has reached 15,000 people, and the strength of the Blue Desolation Knights alone is too thin, so I will transfer the 10,000 Black Lan army to the eastern border, and you will be at your disposal, remember, even if you can't defeat the Blue army, you must keep it out of the territory!" Allen said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my subordinates will not fail to live up to the expectations of the Count!" replied Antonio.

Since the Mulan Knights are guarding the island of Heran, the Knights of the Giant Rat are stationed on the northern border of the Fire Wheat Territory, and beware of the Count of Andrew, the two armies are not a last resort, Alan will not mobilize, and the Flame Knights are too small in number and too weak, so at the moment he can only mobilize the Black Lan Army stationed in the fishing port.

With the addition of the Heilan Army, in terms of quantity, the Fire Wheat Collar and the Blue Army are almost the same, the knight level and even their own side are more dominant, and in terms of cavalry, the war horses of the entire Green Desolation Knights have all been matched, even against the two elite knights of the Fire Dragon Command.

After occupying the entire Reagan county, Allen got a large number of war horses, and the total number of war horses, which was originally only 4,000, increased dramatically to more than 7,000.

Since the east of the territory is always facing the war of the Marquis of Lane, he may enter the territory at any time, so Alan first equipped the Knights of the Blue Desolation with war horses.

As for the Northern Giant Rat Knights, whose situation was not too urgent, they only got more than two thousand war horses. 11
