What is the battlefield like?

I don't know, I haven't been on it before.

However, it is definitely not a place full of peace and harmony that can be called a child's bedtime story.

......

After five days of marching, the team finally reached the outside of Stormy City from Forest Town on the Third Front. But before they could visit this magnificent and huge bustling city like a giant of the north, the team was dispatched from nowhere and sent to the front line of the battlefield.

Wind and rain forest, legend has it that it is a small courtyard where the god of wind and rain rests, and if you are lucky, you can meet the gods and be blessed by the gods......

Sitting on the grain cart, Lear talks about the local culture with interest, attracting the attention of many new veterans who are tingling their scalps in order to get on the road. Even Alegg and Sovas, who had been riding tall horses at the beginning, slowed down their horses a little, and listened to the "pedagogue" tell the legends that only existed in the past.

Wei Ken followed, listening quietly as a grain cart escort.

If there really are gods, everyone who is about to fight in front of the small courtyard of the Wind and Rain Forest will be cursed, right?

Legend has it that the god of wind divided the kingdom of Rairdo and the Vichy Empire into two kingdoms with the Wind and Rain Forest as the boundary, and put the stone tablet agreed upon by the two kings at the time into the bottom of the Lake of Wind and Rain, ending the hundred-year-long war!" Lear was so pleased with the scene of the people around him listening carefully to his story that he unconsciously wanted to say more.

"Then now, why is our country at war with the Vichy Empire again?"

The man who spoke was an officer under Allig, a muscular man named Koro. He rode his horse, accompanied by Alegg and Sovas, and protected them.

But even so, he was drawn to the story Lear told.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and Weken cast an inquiring look at Lear.

"This is because, time has passed, Lord Anemo has left, the original kings of the Vichy Empire and the Kingdom of Rairdo have died, and even the royal family has changed. So war is back on the earth. Lear waved his hand, "If you want to talk about this kind of thing carefully, please go to Lear's class every Sunday after the war, and listen to me explain it to you slowly." ”

Corot touched his head, momentarily speechless.

"Hahaha!" the surrounding soldiers burst into laughter.

Lear's classroom is a class that Lear opened with the help of Floyd after his achievements in educating Weken. Lear was so fond of lecturing and entertaining that many soldiers liked to take a shower after morning training and listen to Lear's lectures before having lunch.

Holding the spear, Weken looked at the front, and Freud, who had unknowingly become the "leader", shook his head helplessly.

After all, Allig and Sovas, these two guys are just here to fight for their own glory as nobles. Compared to commanding the troops to fight, it is already a blessing in misfortune that they do not cause chaos.

The fifty well-armed regular soldiers were like their bodyguards for "mingling".

"Report!" At this time, the herald from the front arrived at the rear and reported to Koro, "We have reached the south side of the Wind and Rain Forest, outside the legion of Lord Tibi!"

"Wow!Mistress Tibi! is the general under Lord Dikosr, the 'protective wall' of the Stormy City!" Alex was overjoyed, and explained to the confused Sovas with an excited expression.

Allig was a somewhat thin man, with neatly combed green hair. Those who don't know think he's going to a banquet.

Sovas on the side was a little ignorant, but he still looked longing: "So powerful!"

Wind and rain forest, on the east side is a vast wind and rain plain. Until they encounter the mountains further east, the two sides will build defensive militaries along this line and fight each other.

However, due to the special location of the Wind and Rain Forest, the forest in between, was not suitable for combat, so both sides tacitly arranged defenses on its northeast and southeast sides, and chose a plain where the large army could fight head-on.

I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, since I'm transferred to the Western Legion, maybe I don't have to touch so many frontal battlefields. At most, it is to block the enemy who is pouring in from the frontal battlefield, and the main force of the frontal army to surround and kill it.

But normally, as long as the commander of the Vichy Empire was not a fool, he would not have taken this bad route of facing the enemy on his back.

General Tibi did not show up, but just sent an officer to take the motley army to the garrison. The legions to the west were further front, and an area on the outskirts of the forest was stationed.

"Hmm...... A great place with the forest in its backdrop and facing the sun. Wei Ken frowned slightly.

It is also a good place for cannon fodder to be used as a shield, as an alarm, and as a buffer belt.

The miscellaneous army and the regular army are not treated the same. Fifty men of Allig and Sovasna were placed in the barracks where the tall wooden walls were erected. Yes, it was the wooden walls, on which even archers patrolled. And the motley army, like the three nearby, was sent to the front line as cannon fodder to meet the first wave of the enemy's first and most violent impact.

Then, after the storm, the cannon fodder slowed down the enemy with his own life, or, more fortunately, dragged the enemy's formation apart, and the regular army that was ready to be set up in formation was killed again in one go.

War is so delicious, it is the sword of the glorious who wields the souls of the living, and it is a wonderful place to turn severed heads into war exploits.

As for the ragtag army that died in the charge...... I'm sorry, but this kind of thing is called a consumable in the records of the nobles.

It's the kind of consumables that are very cheap, you can get them casually, and it's not a pity to have them.

And now, the team that Weiken is in is "consumables".

"Station!" Freud said with a solemn countenance, and quickly organized the soldiers to set up camp.

Lear began to work with the logistics soldiers to prepare for the ration of food, after all, it was noon, and lunch was very necessary.

And the cart of food left behind was only a day's and a half's amount. The insufficient part will be replenished from the legions behind, and a truckload of verified food will be delivered every day, just so that the cannon fodder can fight in peace.

Without food, these cannon fodder can't escape, and they can't be deserters. The soldiers of the regular army were able to sit back and relax, and the officers were proud of their plans and excited about the glory that lay ahead.

The camp quickly took shape. Freud was a knight, and he was well versed in setting up battle formations.

Although the time, equipment, and personnel did not allow him to make any major improvements to the motley army, the defensive positions he placed were very useful.

In response to the possible enemy cavalry to the east, tripwires and skulls were arranged. As for the possible enemies in the northern forest, Freud prepared a trap for the other party very warmly.

This motley army does not need to attack, only needs to defend, and try to save their lives on the chessboard of the nobles as much as possible.

Lunch was coarse hard bread with some Lear's soup cooked with bacon from Forest Town.

After eating quickly, my stomach was quickly filled with that unhealthy feeling of fullness.

Standing up, I didn't know what to do for a moment.

There is no war yet......

"Captain!" a voice called out to Weken.

"Huh?" Wicken looked to the side.

A cheerful young man in rudimentary leather armor, with a tattered fur hat and an axe in hand.

"Eibar, what's wrong?" Wicken frowned slightly, and nodded.

Despite his reluctance, Floyd appointed himself as a squad leader, commanding a team of nine and assigning himself to Lear, who was in charge of logistics, as a convoy. Fortunately, there was Loku to help ease the atmosphere, and Negar to speak to help with the scheduling, otherwise......

This squad has already blown up.

"We're playing dice, are we coming?" said Eivar expectantly.

Wei Ken nodded: "Don't play." ”

Eibar smiled wryly.

The captain's habit is really strange......
