Two days after the appointment of the capable person was issued, the formalities and orders of the army were completed. 「」

Under the north gate of the fortress, an army of about 2,000 men was preparing to set off.

In the doorway, Lin An and the others said goodbye to several mages and warriors they knew.

Fanny and Anna and the others weren't there, because their troops had arrived earlier than Lin An, who had already seen them off at the same place yesterday.

Maybe it's because of more than a month of walking, or maybe it's very likely that the journey you're about to embark on is a life-and-death farewell, every time someone leaves, all the remaining capable people go to the door to say goodbye. The people who left were reluctant to give up when they parted, and their feelings were deep and thick, and even the Fox who had provoked Lin An at the dinner party also came to say goodbye to Lin An, and the previous Geng Jie seemed to be gone with the weather.

Finally, after gently hugging and comforting the two mature female mages with slightly red eyes and particularly rich feelings, Lin An and the other people who were going to Ma Pei together boarded the carriage, opened the curtains, and said goodbye to people in the window.

After a few long howls like a wolf's howl, the carriage was slowly pulled, and the door hole gradually became smaller in Lin An's eyes, and was gradually blocked by the army behind.

Lin An put down the light blue tassel curtains, and heard a discordant male voice urn, and the tone was a little deliberately raised: "Women are emotional, weak and troublesome!" ”

This voice, even if he didn't look back, Lin An knew who it was, so he gave Brenton on the other side a faint glance and asked him to take care of his own brother. 「」

With a wry smile in return, Chamberlain glared at Rogil, who had awe but no real fear in his eyes, and pouted away from him.

It can be seen that the two have a good brotherhood, and they are faintly intimate. This was not uncommon in Merlin aristocratic families that practiced primogeniture, but it was also rare.

It can be seen that Chamberlain's family, education should be good. Rogil's younger brother has such a stubborn personality, probably because his parents deliberately connived at it, after all, it is enough to have a firstborn son with outstanding talent and ability, and there is no need for a second son who is also talented in magic and has excessive ambitions.

There were four people in the carriage, and André sat opposite the Burren brothers with Lin'an, while Shiryl and Rogier looked at each other and went to another sleigh carriage carrying the able.

There are not many people who have been assigned to the Mapei Fortress with Lin An, in addition to Lin Anburun and the other five people, there are two mages and five martial artists, and it happens that the martial artists and mages are half each. "There were twelve of them.

This number is not high among this group of more than 300 capable people. It's probably because the quality of this batch of abilities is too low, and the Blood Flamingo wants four of the best abilities at once, and even Rogier, a mage, is also heavily equipped, so the quality offsets the quantity.

The strength of the remaining seven capable people was ordinary, and Lin An even saw a low-level apprentice over thirty years old mixed in - the low-level apprentice could use a few simple tricks except for a few simple tricks. It's almost no different from ordinary people, even because of frailty. It may not be able to beat a strong adult man - it can be seen that the blood flamingo does not care about the selected people, but only fills up the number.

This is a good thing for Lin An and them, because it is conceivable that the Blood Flamingo must have focused on their seeds, so he didn't take the others to heart-

But for those capable people, the future is almost doomed, especially when they serve Ma Pei, who is on the first front line and is known as the bloody fortress. Being able to survive to retirement with good hands and feet is already the best result.

At night, the army camped in a leeward hollow with a low thicket.

The wagons were gathered on the north side, the grates were blocked with ropes, and the soldiers were about to take out their tents and set up camp. One of the officers kicked and shouted at them to stop, and the officer's lieutenant stepped on the carriage. The boots kicked through the snow, the hard shoe sticks slammed against the frozen soil, and after several successions, several places were designated, and the soldiers, except the cooks, began to dig the pits.

The strange behavior attracted the attention of Lin An and others. In the car where Shiryl was, a cute baby-faced girl poked her head.

Seeing that Lin An was curious, Bolun waved to the officer from the window, and the officer stopped scolding and trotted towards Lin An's carriage.

"Young Master Chamberlain, what do you command?"

The officer approached the window, accented with the accent of northern Atlanta and was very nasal. His afterglow swept towards the car, and he seemed a little surprised when he swept past Lin An, and as he spoke, he nodded to Lin An and the others.

"What are you letting these soldiers dig holes here for?"

"Young Master Bren, I don't know, I'm still in the rear, I haven't gone deep into the tundra, the bushes are easy to find, and I don't have to worry about the demon cubs who slipped through the net in the middle of the night, so I can camp in the hollows." After passing the middle of the defensive line, the bushes and hollows are not only difficult to find, but also to guard against the sneak attack of the demon cubs if they are found, even if there is nothing to do all night, the freezing wind in the tundra at night is too strong and too fast, and the tent cloth may be scraped away directly in the middle of sleep, and the soldiers will be seriously ill even if they are not frozen to death!"

The officer explained: "So generally we don't camp in the hollows, but dig holes directly in the frozen soil to find a place where the soil layer is relatively soft," and obviously his deputy's move just now is to find a suitable place based on experience, "Dirty may be dirty, but the water is basically frozen hard, very firm, and I don't worry about water seepage." ”

The officer said, keeping an eye on the progress on the soldier's side, obviously more concerned about this.

"This is a skill that a low-level soldier must have to serve on the Northern Front, and if you can't learn it, you can't basically survive, and now you have time and don't worry about the sneak attack of the demon cubs, it's the best time to learn. We practiced this a few times, and when we got to our base camp, we didn't have to risk learning slowly outside - there weren't so many places in the fortress for people to dig holes. ”

The officer thought he had told a joke, but none of the people in the car laughed, and their faces were more stern. Because from the words of the officer, everyone realized that the difficulty of surviving in Ma Pei was far more difficult than they originally imagined, even if they were mages who were omnipotent in the eyes of mortals.

"If it's an operation like searching for enemies in the field, what if you take a mount?" Lin An, who was listening carefully next to him, spoke up. 「」

The officer glanced at Lin An in surprise, as if he was surprised that such a delicate mage lady would take the initiative to talk to a rude officer like him.

He looked at Chamberlain, who nodded.

The officer said: "The wolf tamers and snow mastiffs in the north are generally brought by the outside mission, they are all domesticated, and digging pits can help a little-"

He looked at Lin An carefully, as if he had thought of something, and said hesitantly, "...... When we slept, of course, we slept with our mounts - natural fur blankets that kept us warm, kept the wind out, and kept vigil. ”

- But a young lady with thin skin and tender flesh like Lin An probably couldn't stand the ticks on the mount, and he was also very suspicious that if such delicate meat slept with the mount, those wild and not completely tamed wolf mastiffs would bite her throat in the middle of the night if they were hungry.

The officer thought.

After the officer explained for a while, Chamberen let him go, explaining to Lin An and Andrei:

"He is a side child of our family, he has served on the Northern Front for fifteen or six years, it is said that he started as an officer at the lowest level, until two years ago when he came into my father's sight, and now he has become the liaison officer of the logistics department of the Blood Flamingo. The ability is good, and it is very appreciated by the above, but the personality is a little rough. This time, I came here to pick us up. ”

Listening to the background, it should be a relatively dilapidated aristocratic side child, who has served in the front line of the army for more than ten years, and has been promoted from a low-level officer, I am afraid that there is no help in the early stage, no wonder the temperament and behavior are like civilian officers - in Chamberlain's words, it is more "rough".

Bran is the heir to the family, no wonder that the officer is not low in rank in the Blood Flamingo, but he is still respectful to Bran.

The family concept of the Merlin nobles is very strong, and a person like that officer who has no background can be promoted to the position of logistics liaison chief with his military merit resume, if there is no greater help and opportunity, it will basically come to an end, after all, although the blood flamingo is stationed on the front line, the most able to earn military merit is mainly by fighting. Judging from the officer's appearance, he also has no lack of actual combat experience, and he relied on military merit to rise to the top about before.

Then the only thing that officer could count on was his own family, and Chamberlain, the future head of the family.

Lin An thought to himself and got out of the carriage with the others.

The afterglow swept over Burger, and he saw Bollen sighing slightly in his eyes when he looked at Rogier, and Rogier strode forward with the invisible shield, looking at the officer with envy and yearning, and went to talk to the family regardless of it.

Lin An couldn't help but be stunned. But Bren's affection was not exposed, and he quickly reined in, and when he looked at him again, he turned back into that polite aristocratic mage.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

Lin An thought about it, and turned his eyes to look for Shiryl's figure, only to see that she had just gotten off another carriage, her face was as usual, but she was gently tugged at the corner of her clothes by a baby-faced girl.

Looking at the girl's dress, she is neatly dressed under the thick cloak, with a long sword on the right side of her waist, and the boots with the cloak exposed under her feet are very ordinary, obviously from an average background, and she has not been noticed by Lin An before, but her immature appearance and well-behaved smile are easy to give people a good impression.

Lin An was surprised that Shiryl, who never liked outsiders to approach, would actually allow a girl who had been with her for a short time to pull the corner of her clothes.

was surprised, Andre, who was originally blocking the wind behind Lin An, took a few steps forward, frowned, and beckoned to Shirille, who said a few words to the girl, and immediately walked towards Andre and Lin An.

The baby-faced female swordsman let go of the corner of Shiryl's coat and hesitated in place for a moment, finally not approaching, as if she knew that she and Lin An's group were not compatible.

"Andre is a good brother." Chamberlain's voice came from beside him.

Lin An didn't say anything, but Andre, who was a few steps away, heard this, turned his head and whispered viciously: "Don't worry about it!" ”

The wind was too loud, and it blew away the content of the speech, and Shiryl, who came from a distance, didn't hear anything, and looked at the two male top cows beside Lin An as usual, and walked to Lin An's side.
