Chapter 62: Warming Up for War
White Rock Town.
Early in the morning, only a few of the town's lords got up and started to get busy for the day.
Outside the barracks, Tonny, the captain of the fifth squadron of the Blue Desolation Knights, was riding a tall war horse, leading the cavalry behind him, quietly waiting for the squad leader Blake and his squad members, today is the day of the fifth squadron patrolling the white stone collar again!
Ever since he learned from Uncle Kant that the Baron had promised that the first soldier to break through to the limits of cavalry would be appointed as the captain of the fifth squadron, Tony had been ruthless and trained hard, and from time to time he would disturb Uncle Kant to ask some questions.
Finally, not long ago, Tony's strength broke through to the cavalry limit, and he was the first warrior in the knights to break through the cavalry limit, and he was fortunate to be received by the Baron together with another cavalry limit warrior, Kesri!
After receiving the reward from Lord Baron, he broke through to become a powerful low-level knight, and now Tony is the youngest knight in the territory except for Allen!
Later, Alan also kept his promise and appointed Tony as the captain of the fifth squadron and Keishley as the vice-captain.
Cathery is much older than Tony, a middle-aged man with freckled faces, a burly figure, and his strength was not far from the limit of the cavalry before, and not long after Tony broke through to the limit of the cavalry, Cathery also broke through.
Usually managing the fifth squadron, Tony will ask Keighrie for advice, after all, Tony himself is only a seventeen-year-old boy and has little experience in managing the squadron.
This is also the reason why Allen arranged Keigri as the vice captain of the squadron, although Allen promised that whoever broke through the cavalry limit first would be the captain of the fifth squadron, but because Tony was too young, he happened to be assisted by the calm Kesley.
After a while, the Black team came out of the barracks, and saw a team of ten people, each soldier holding five Qinghuang crossbows, a total of fifty.
Although Allen had assigned a hundred Green Wilderness Crossbows to the First Squadron, considering that the First Squadron and the Fifth Squadron were patrolling in the White Stone Collar in turn, Antonio decided to borrow fifty Green Wilderness Crossbows from the First Squadron every time the Fifth Squadron was patrolling, and then return them to the First Squadron after returning from the patrol.
Just now, Blake took his team and went to the first squadron to get the Qinghuang crossbow!
"As always, squads one to five will take the Green Wilderness Crossbow!" Tony ordered to the warriors behind him.
As soon as Tony finished speaking, he saw Blake grinning towards him.
Tony looked at him strangely.
"Squadron Leader, when do you think our Fifth Squadron will be able to assemble the Green Wilderness Crossbow?" Blake said with a frown and knocked on Tony's side.
"Huh?" Tony looked at Blake in surprise, wondering why he suddenly asked the question.
In fact, how would Tony know when Lord Baron would equip the fifth squadron with the Green Wilderness Crossbow, but looking at the other squadrons, one, two, three, and three squadrons have already been allotted the Green Wilderness Crossbow, his own Fifth Squadron should be soon!
"Don't worry! Since the first squadron has been equipped with the Qinghuang crossbow, our fifth squadron will definitely not be too far away, don't worry! Anyway, you haven't used the Qinghuang crossbow, don't you often test fire the Qinghuang crossbow in this squadron?" Tony thought that Blake was anxious that the fifth squadron did not have a green wilderness crossbow so far, and said to Blake with a smile.
"Squadron leader, can this be the same! Don't you know, when I went to the first squadron to borrow the Qinghuang crossbow today, the group of people in the first squadron looked like others owed them five hundred golden dragons, and some guys were still yin and yang, making our squad half angry, what's the big deal about having the Qinghuang crossbow!"
Blake, who was originally calm, became more and more angry the more he talked, and his face turned red, obviously angry with the guys of the first squadron.
Tony smiled after hearing this, looked at Keithry, who was also holding back a smile next to him, and comforted Blake: "Don't be angry, you don't know the character of those guys, you still take it seriously!"
Tony started as a squad leader in the first squadron, and since becoming a knight, he was appointed captain of the fifth squadron, while Blake was originally a fighter under Tony's squad.
Because the two talked very much, Tony reported to Lord Antonio and Uncle Kant, the captain of the first squadron, and asked him to be transferred to his fifth squadron, and then Lord Antonio approved, and Uncle Kant also let go, and after joining the fifth squadron, the strong Blake was appointed by Tony as the leader of the first squadron.
"But... Captain... I'm just a little angry!" Blake knew he was taking it too seriously.
Looking at Blake, who was still muttering behind him, Tony ignored him and ordered the entire squadron to set off on patrol.
............
The sun gradually rose, and the entire Qinghuang Territory seemed to come alive.
Qinghuang Town, inside Qinghuang Castle.
Alan is receiving the envoy from the catch.
"Lord Baron Qinghuang, this is the letter that my baron wants to hand over to you!" After the messenger saw Alan sitting above, he took out the letter in his arms and handed it to the servant next to him.
"Does your baron have any other matters?" asked Allen, as he took the letter from his servant.
"No, Lord Baron!" said the messenger hurriedly.
"Okay, I see. Alan nodded.
"Then I'll quit first!" the messenger also said goodbye.
Alan looked at the yellow thatched paper envelope in his hand, opened it directly, and looked at it. There are not many words in the letter, but the approximate meaning is to inform Alan to gather in Bicao Town with the soldiers the day after tomorrow and start an attack on Musen City!
Alan handed the letter to Andy next to him and motioned for him to take a look as well, and Andy took the envelope and read the contents of the letter.
"Andy, tell me what you think about this attack on Musen City!" Alan rubbed his head and gestured to Andy.
After reading the contents of the envelope, Andy pondered for a moment and said to Allen: "Lord Baron, the result of this attack may not be too ideal, after all, Musen City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the possibility of failure of a forced attack is too great. ”
"Not ideal, I think it's going to fail!" Alan sneered.
Alan didn't expect Baron Buz to be so stupid, and he actually proposed a plan to jointly raid Musen City, thinking that he could unknowingly beat Baron Jean and rub his hands together, but he didn't know that his territory was like a sieve, and I was afraid that every move would be watched by Jean.
Some time ago, the Green Desolation Territory was caught, and there were more than a dozen spies sent by Baron Jean, but fortunately, the Green Desolation Territory was well defended and did not give Baron Jean a chance to take advantage of it, but the other two territories Alan would not report much hope, and Alan estimated that as long as the three territories moved, Baron Jean might know the news.
The key thing is that Alan can't ignore it yet, after all, he is still counting on the troops of the other two territories to resist Baron Jean!
Alan plans to persuade Baron Buzz through methods after arriving in Greengrass Town the day after tomorrow.
"By the way, how is the Kinmori Leader going to investigate?" Alan asked suddenly to Andy.
