"Chapter Fifty-Eight: Soaring Forward"

Men who have lost self-restraint dislike motherhood the most and are most obsessed with prostitute women.

– Otto Weininger (Austrian philosopher)

After the armies were drawn one after another, Bai Feng commanded the Featherforest Legion, the Pro-Guard, and the Tempest Legion to advance, and the Yulin Legion, with Hans as the lieutenant general of the legion, walked at the forefront of the army, then Luculus's Pro-Guard, and finally Montgomery's Tempest Legion.

The impatient Lister led the soldiers of the death battalion to run to the bandit gang on the road as early as dawn, and those vicious bandit gangs were all excellent soldiers to strengthen the death camp under his command in Lister's eyes!

Half a year ago, how did the Seventh Wing, the predecessor of the Yulin Legion, develop in the first step? Wasn't it the order of Duke Gna and Commander Giskal to suppress bandits that gave Bai Feng a valuable opportunity to rapidly grow into the strongest wing of the 40th Legion?

Heroes don't ask where they come from, this sentence is definitely not nonsense that exists in allusions; Piarich, the commander of the 1st Wing of the 1st Division of the Yulin Army, the commander of the 4th Division, Bartloli and the 1st Wing, Bony, and the commander of the 5th Division, Vermaelen, who of them are not from robber rogue origins?

Even among the most elite pro-guards under Bai Feng's command, the captain of the first infantry wing, Siquela, was the leader of the rogue gang that surrendered to Bai Feng with Bartroli and others, and it only took them half a year to go from an imperial wanted criminal to an imperial general.

It is undeniable that Bai Feng's eclectic way of employing people is the key reason for the rapid change of their identity and the sudden improvement of their status;

Although people who work hard may not be able to change their fate, but those who do not work hard must not be able to change their fate; Bai Feng, who firmly believes that God rewards hard work, likes to reuse talented people, and attaches more importance to people with sincere attitudes and positive progress.

Except for those who are neither capable nor hardworking, and those who are capable of working hard, compared with those who are capable of not working hard and those who are not capable of working hard, Bai Feng, who is very diligent himself, will only choose the latter, because the latter's attitude determines their future.

There are only two kinds of people who can fall into the grass after the orc army conquers their homeland: the first is the wicked who want to fish in troubled waters, and they have no etiquette and shame at all, and the second is the warrior who is unwilling to be enslaved by the orcs, they can be called real warriors.

For these two kinds of people, the former is the natural soldier of the death camp, after all, the death camp was originally formed with criminals and death row prisoners, and the recruits who were added to the death camp are all lawbreakers who violate the law and discipline, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the death camp as a concentration camp for criminals.

It may not be fair to merge them into a death camp full of criminals, but as long as they are integrated into a death camp that lacks firm faith, sooner or later, the death camp will be led by them into a real elite army!

With the detailed information provided by Luo Net, Bai Feng knew very well about the 21 bandit gangs that the Death Battalion was about to exterminate, and all of these bandit gangs combined amounted to about 4,500 fighters, and with the strength of the Death Battalion, they could be easily exterminated one by one.

Based on the balance of forces between the two sides, Bai Feng roughly speculated that after the extermination of these 21 bandits, the total strength of the death battalion would increase to between 4,500 and 5,500 men;

You must know that Lister, who is the commander of the Death Battalion, has the nickname of 'Butcher', and if a member of a bandit gang angers Lister, maybe he will order the Death Camp to slaughter this bandit gang, and he is the unstable factor that affects the outcome of Bai Feng's speculation.

However, Lister is not a pure brainless butcher, his drastic methods are based on necessity, if he doesn't have the slightest confidence in Lister, how can Bai Feng hand over the death camp that he attaches great importance to him to command?

At noon on the day after the army was launched, Lister returned with twenty-seven carts of booty and more than 7,000 rescued old and weak women and children.

As for the old and weak women and children in rags, they were the families of the warriors who had rebelled against the orc slavery, and these people, not only were not bothered by Lister, but were also properly placed in the nearby towns that had been recovered by the White Peaks who had taken them in.

The return of the booty and prisoners meant that the mission of the death battalion to exterminate the bandits was carried out very smoothly, because at the same time as the return of the booty and prisoners, Lister also asked Bai Feng for enough weapons and equipment to arm an army of 1,000.

On the afternoon of the fourth day after the camp set out, Lister once again sent back 34 carts of booty and more than 3,000 prisoners; this time, Lister asked Bai Feng for no more than 1,000 men's weapons and equipment, but the weapons and equipment of a full 3,000 soldiers!

According to the number of weapons and equipment, the total strength of the Death Battalion has reached more than 6,500 people, how is this possible? Bai Feng, who felt a little incredulous, specially sent Adrion to personally investigate and see what the sudden increase in the strength of the Death Battalion was.

In just seven hours, Adrien brought back to Bai Feng an extremely detailed account of the development of the death camp, it turned out that when Lister led his army to destroy the bandit gang, he also 'acted bravely' to recover four towns occupied by the orcs.

In these four orc-occupied towns, the real orc army had evacuated a month earlier, and those who remained in the towns were some traitors who had forgotten their ancestors, and they relied on the power given to them by the orcs to oppress their former fellow villagers.

Indignant, Lister led his army to capture four towns garrisoned by this 'puppet army (puppet orc army) one after another, and captured more than 2,000 scum who worked for the orcs and oppressed the people.

The death battalion is the cannon fodder unit of the army under Bai Feng's command, and the more than 2,000 puppet soldiers are the cannon fodder of the death battalion, and their low status can be seen from this; of course, Bai Feng himself appreciates Lister's handling of the puppet army, and his dislike for the puppet army is no less than that of Lister.

It was not only Lister and his battalion that were in high spirits, but the 39th Army attacked Dambrosio in Saint-Chamont, Lyon, and the 45th Army in Assasis, Romans, Grenoble.

Assassis captured Romans half a day early, D'Ambrosio a day earlier Saint-Chamont, and then Gianno's 44th Army, Upadama's 46th Army, and Athos's 47th Army completed their offensive mission.

Bella's Fortieth Regiment and Ranocchia's Iron Guards spent six and a half days on the march, but the almost undefended counties of Bogin Giulio and Manosque wasted no time and allowed them to meet their deadlines.

The three Eastern Legions under the command of Aetius formed a coalition army, and the two Eastern Legions under the command of Cabitus formed a coalition army, and there was an inconsistent action of the various armies, which made Bai Feng very dissatisfied!

Two days after the 1st Eastern Army, which marched the fastest, recaptured the capital of the province of Lyon, Keitel's 3rd Eastern Army and Brauchitsch's 4th Eastern Army reached the county town of Lyon, and the situation on the side of Capitus was worse than that of Etius.

The five Eastern Army Corps, whose soldiers were of uneven quality, exposed a large number of problems that should not have existed in just one operation that was close to a marching exercise; Bai Feng, who had always neglected the Eastern Army Corps, was first dissatisfied with this, and then blamed himself.
