"Alright, Wei Ken, such a thing as war exploits is hard to come by, so don't care so much. ”

Floyd patted Weken lightly on the shoulder.

"Let's prepare well for snow operations, we will go directly to the front line in another month and a half. In the next few days, I will also recruit some new people. When the time comes, you should take good care of it...... No, when I didn't say it later. ”

"Yes. Weken replied.

Do you fight in winter...... You need to prepare some warm clothes, and by the way, you need to be equipped with some light supplies for winter operations.

But what to do?

Weken frowned.

If you don't pay attention, your life will be gone. Caution must be exercised.

"Haha, Weken, relax. Perhaps, we can capture the prince of the Vichy Empire and do a great job?" Freud laughed, motioning for Weken to leave.

He still has official business to take care of. Especially when the day of war is not far away, it is necessary to take some precautions.

"Capture a prince of the Vichy Empire?" said Weken pondered for a moment.

I'll try it if I can.

Putting the tantalizing idea aside for a moment, Weken began training.

Time will always pass without you noticing.

A month later.

Obviously, it is time to celebrate the harvest, and everyone is happy in the golden wheat field, singing the song of the harvest, and enjoying the reward of the year's hard work.

But at this time, some refugees from other places, and the "war news" they brought with them, cast a layer of gloom on everyone's hearts.

The smell of gunpowder from the northern forest of Wind and Rain City has been accompanied by the north wind blowing to this small forest town.

During this time, Weken learned two more skills from the veterans.

Entry-level, shield use.

Entry-level, equestrian.

The former learns from the veterans, while the latter learns from ......

Learn from Lizlit.

Although it is a bit strange to say, he is indeed learning equestrianism from Lizlit. Even more weird things are yet to come, and Lizlit is actually a novice to get started......

This also made Wei Ken understand: you don't have to find a master to learn skills...... Indeed. If you need a master at the "Divine Skill" level to teach skills, you can't learn any of them yourself.

The barracks were equipped with a light leather armor and a certain helmet. Although the quality is poor, it is better than nothing.

There were also a few new faces in the tent, one of whom was a recruit named Eibar, who seemed to yearn for the glory and exploits of the battlefield.

Joseph had a good life, had a young wife at home, and had a job in the barracks, and everything went well. In the eyes of the recruits, he became the leader of the recruits...... After all, he works in the warehouse in the backroom and helps Lear manage the accounts.

Yes, he learned how to keep accounts, to pay wages, to pay grain and grass.

Surprisingly, this guy turned out to be a person who couldn't read more than one word, and at this time he was ...... Did he have a miscellaneous system? Of course not! But he had a virtuous wife who could read.

Lizlit would come to the barracks from time to time, and Ann would follow her, seemingly as her maid. And Ann didn't even want a salary, just shelter and food, and - learn how to fight.

No one knows what is going on in the mind of the "female battle maniac" who is second only to me in terms of hobby training, and it is clear that she can enjoy the life of a corrupt aristocracy by virtue of her own good and even pretty face.

Loku and Negar are both soldiers who are going to go to battle, and they are hurrying to train at this time, and they have finally made up for the training they have pulled down before. But even so, no one thinks that they can sweep the battlefield with their current skills.

Not even Freud.

Floyd has been spending more and more time in the barracks lately, and he used to sleep in his own home when he left the barracks at night. He even slept in the barracks – in the big tent where he worked.

Because of this, his wife Maduri often joined Lizlit to send him condolences.

He was the second man in the barracks besides Joseph to distribute dog food.

Freud left behind a detachment of fifty men to serve as the personnel who remained in the barracks. Perhaps out of selfishness, he designated his new home as one of the registration points for patrols.

This bothered Sovas, who was still hungry for Lizlit's body when he went out of the city walls from time to time...... Because once at night, when he tried to climb over the wall and climbed into Lizlit's bedroom through the window, he was caught by Floyd, who happened to come home.

Freud did not beat him, but beat his four younger brothers and hung them outside the barracks for a day in the morning sun. It was not until night that the four dying people were thrown out of the barracks.

For this reason, Sovas was incompetent and furious, but he could not express the dissatisfaction in his heart. After all, sneaking into a private house in the middle of the night and trying to plot against a girl from a good family is not "the glory of the nobility".

Unlike the ugly one, Gulf's eldest son, Sovas, Gulf's second son, Owas, is very personable. He bought the order for his brother Sovas, helped get the four dead dogs back, and promised that Sovas would never do such a thing again.

Obviously they are brothers, why is their character so bad?

But Weken felt that this brother seemed to be a little more powerful than Sovas.

In addition to these miscellaneous things, it is the addition and purchase of equipment.

After consulting Lear, a set of winter combat equipment was brought back by himself during a half-day break. A bright red cotton trench coat with a hood, expensive hand creams for the ladies, some medicines for colds and other winter ailments, flint and steel......

Under the habit of this month, Weken has become accustomed to fighting with his full gear on.

Since the soldiers of the Kingdom of Rairdo identified the color of red, Weken was reluctant to use the eye-catching red, and finally had to put on a red cotton coat with a bitter face.

Red can't be three times faster, it will only expose people to the eyes of the enemy, and I don't know which one designed it.

After that, it was another half a month......

The day before his departure, Weken took a rare day off from Lear, offering to go to the mass grave where Ron and Cuy had been buried. Lear didn't say anything more and just agreed.

There is no meaning to pray for blessings, these people who sleep forever are, after all, their comrades beside him in the last battle.

To Weken's surprise, Freud was also pouring wine and worshipping in this mass grave, and he arrived earlier than Weken.

Seeing each other speechless, just silently sweeping away the tombstones that will be stained with mortal dust for the deceased. The vast majority of the deceased had no relatives, and fortunately there were no relatives...... Otherwise, how would you feel when you received the relic box?

And on the last day, it's finally going to be-

"Everyone, prepare!" said Floyd, riding a sturdy white horse that Mayor Gulf had given him, and began to urge the baggage and soldiers to prepare for their departure.

But at this time, there was no trace of joy on his face. Because, he does not have full command.

In this ragtag army, there are more than 50 well-equipped soldiers who are extremely inconsistent with the style of the entire ragtag army.

And, this time the commander appointed by Gurf was......

"Allig, Sovas......" Weken's brow furrowed slightly.

I don't have to worry about being recognized, the only thing I need to worry about is that these two guys have the ability to command the army, right?

The Lord will be Allig, the son of Anowa, a young man who looks very weak and has a very gloomy face.

The lieutenant is Sovas, Gulf's eldest son, a guy who looks like a dog, but is actually a pig and a dog. By the way, this guy is actually very empty.

As for Freud, he was their general, on the same level as an officer in the regular army.

The management was very extensive, and the chief and lieutenant generals were surrounded by the regular army, led directly by another officer. They don't seem to have paid any attention to the motley army of Freud and have adopted a laissez-faire attitude.

"The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead......"

Weken shook his head, his left hand resting on the sword at his waist.

Ron's longsword has been maintained by himself, hoping to kill a few more enemies on the battlefield.

On the other side......

The spear in his right hand, hoping to do more.

Under the joy and tears of the crowd, this mixed army with an uncertain future headed for the wind and rain city further north.

There, skirmishes have been going on for a month.

Both sides are ready.

The Vichy Empire swept all the villages outside the blockade of Stormy City, obtained enough military rations for the entire winter, and was ready to march on the Stormy City front.

On the side of the Kingdom of Riardo, Duke Dicosil gathered the ranks of nobles, gathered the combat power of the entire north, mobilized enough grain and grass, and was ready to fight the Vichy Empire at any time.

The wind and rain forest plain, which should have been harmonious and peaceful, has a trace of shadow circulating, and the hideous aura that belongs to the battlefield has brewed to the limit, and it is time to explode.

And this army of more than 200 people from Forest Town is heading towards the center of the hideous whirlpool.
