The cavalry brigade of the 40th Legion was not originally a permanent establishment of the standing legion, but was formed by the Eighth Prince drawing 100 elite cavalry from his personal guard, and its captain Kabaye was a brave general loyal to the Eighth Prince.

If it weren't for the Eighth Prince personally arranging for him to be the captain of the cavalry brigade, with his qualifications and strength enough to serve as the seventh wing captain of the 40th Legion, this means that the appearance of Bai Feng made Cabaye miss the position of wing captain and become a captain.

Although there is only one step between the Wing Commander and the Captain, the gap between them is not a star and a half; the Captain who is below the Wing Commander is only a middle-level officer of the Legion, while the Wing Captain is the second only to the Legion Commander.

When the legion commander Giscard informed Bai Feng of this situation, the depressed Bai Feng had to accept the captain's kindness with a wry smile, after all, Cabaye's cavalry brigade was the only mobile force of the fortieth legion.

The fact that the robbers who attacked the transport units of the Great Army were able to collect the weapons of the three hundred Imperial logistics soldiers showed that they were definitely several times larger than the logistics soldiers, and the rescued soldiers reported that they were besieged by thousands of bandits.

According to the confessions of these soldiers, Bai Feng roughly concluded that the number of robbers besieging them was about 3,000, but this was only the minimum number he knew, and it did not mean that those robbers were really only about 3,000.

And Bai Feng's seventh wing is a pure infantry wing, lacking the mobile power to track and reconnoiter the robbers, which is why the commander of the Giscard regiment wants to lend the cavalry brigade to Bai Feng, and it is also the reason why Bai Feng has no reason to refuse.

As soon as Bai Feng, who had accepted the order, returned to the barracks and gave the order to his five captains to prepare for battle, Captain Cabaye brought his cavalry brigade to the barracks of the Seventh Wing;

Because only the 38th, 39th, and 40th regiments of the eight newly established standing regiments had cavalry brigades, the captain of the cavalry brigade was basically the same as the wing commander of an ordinary infantry wing, but there were differences in military positions between the two sides.

"Cavalry Brigade Kabaye, I've seen His Excellency the Wing Commander!" As soon as Bai Feng walked to the gate of the barracks, he saw a tall and imposing general, and then, before Bai Feng could speak first, he took the initiative to bow down and salute Bai Feng.

Cabaye's respect was a bit beyond Bai Feng's expectations, but he was only slightly stunned, then smiled and stretched out his hand to help the bent Cabaye and said, "Captain Cabaye, I've been waiting for you for a long time, your cavalry brigade is the most important aid to our Seventh Wing!"

"Your Excellency Wing Commander" stood up straight, and Kabaye, who still looked serious, said meticulously: "My unit is under your command, you are the commander of our cavalry brigade, no matter what kind of order you give, we will do our best. ”

"Okay!" Cabaye's seriousness made Bai Feng can't help but praise: "I believe that with the help of Captain Cabaye's cavalry, our Seventh Wing will definitely be able to exterminate this bandit within seven days and recover the looted materials of the army!"

"Within seven days?" Suddenly hearing Bai Feng say the specific time limit for suppressing bandits, Cabaye, who had not been notified in this regard before, directly asked: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, didn't the Legion Commander let us suppress the bandits on our own? Is there still a time limit?"

"The order given by the Duke of Gna to the corps commander is to complete the task of suppressing bandits and recover the supplies without delaying the speed of the march, and the order given to me by the corps commander is to eliminate this bandit force as soon as possible with the assistance of the cavalry brigade and complete the order of the Duke of Garner. ”

"So, Your Excellency Captain, you want to exterminate this bandit in seven days?" Cabaye said in an uncertain tone, but with certainty.

"Yes, this seven-day limit is indeed my personal meaning. Bai Feng, who confessed frankly, walked towards his tent with Cabaye, and patiently explained to Cabaye, who did not understand:

"The army is now only fourteen days or so away from Sunset Fortress, and I need no more information on how critical the situation is there, and in order not to delay the overall march of our legion as much as possible, we must complete the task of suppressing the bandits in seven days. ”

"However, we still don't know anything about the bandits, not even where their lair is, and it is very unlikely that we will be able to accomplish their task of exterminating them in seven days. ”

"It's very unlikely, it's still possible, isn't it?" Bai Feng, who smiled slightly, said confidently: "As long as Captain Cabaye can track the approximate range of the enemy's lair before sunset tomorrow, we will definitely be able to complete the mission within seven days!"

Facing Bai Feng's expectant eyes, Cabaye did not rush to make a promise, but fell into deep thought, and after a long time, Cabaye, who had made up his mind, said with a resolute face: "Before sunset tomorrow, you will get the result you want!"

"Okay!" After getting the answer he wanted, Bai Feng immediately ordered: "Captain Cabaye, you immediately lead your cavalry to the place where the logistics soldiers are rescued to track down the lair of this gang of robbers, and I will personally lead the seventh wing to follow behind you." ”

"No!" Cabaye, who had been in the tent for less than three minutes, walked out of the tent with a new order.

The cavalry brigade, which consisted of 100 elite cavalry and 400 new cavalry, quickly left the barracks under the leadership of Cabaye and galloped towards the rear of the barracks.

"General, do you really think that Captain Cabaye can complete the task of finding the bandits' lair?" Borg, who was standing behind Bai Feng, was Bai Feng's most trusted henchman in the Seventh Wing, and he naturally knew Bai Feng's deployment well.

"Borg, I don't believe it doesn't matter if Cabaye or not, the important thing is that we have to destroy this bandit in seven days. Bai Feng, who answered the question, actually didn't have a high degree of trust in Cabaye in his heart, at least he didn't absolutely believe that he could find the lair of this bandit.

"What should we do if Captain Cabaye can't find this bandit's lair on time?" Borg, who was accustomed to asking questions if he didn't understand, once again showed his studious personality, and this was one of the things that Bai Feng admired most about him.

"Rest assured, Captain Cabaye will definitely find this bandit's lair. After saying this, Borg also sensed Bai Feng's reluctance to say more, so he didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, the reason why Bai Feng was so sure that Kabaye would be able to find the bandits' lair was because he had already sent Bai Er to the place where the supplies were robbed to track the whereabouts of the bandits, and at this time, it was getting closer and closer to Bai Er's return.

With the strength of the Flame Sword Saint Bai Er, he would definitely be able to find the lair of this group of robbers, and Cabaye's cavalry brigade only needed to follow the traces deliberately left by Bai Er to be able to successfully find the lair of this group of robbers.

Of course, the greatest value of Cabaye's cavalry brigade is not only to 'find' the bandits' lair, but to keep a close eye on the bandits, after all, Bai Er is only one person, and he can't monitor this bandit force of thousands of people alone.
