"Chapter 19: A New Journey"
All children have an innate inferiority complex, which stimulates the child's imagination and motivates them to eliminate the inferiority complex by improving their situation. The result of improving the situation is to reduce the inferiority complex. From a psychological point of view, this is called psychological compensation.
– Alfred Adler (Austrian psychologist)
After midnight, the last day of October became the first day of November, and this time, Bai Feng, who was in dire need of information about the orc army, recruited thirty battlefield ghosts, then twenty teams of iron artillery spearmen, ten teams of infant sword warriors, and eighty-six priests.
Since the formation of the Fifth Roman Legion for Luquis, Bai Feng has no intention of continuing to form a new system legion for the time being, and with the current territory of the city of Rome, five Roman legions and nine barbarian legions are enough to ensure that the city of Rome will not be threatened by any form of land.
On the naval side, the Roman fleet, consisting of twenty double-lined warships and seventy three-lined warships, was the most powerful surface fleet in the barren land valley of the Cangluo River, and the Eastern Alliance and Lucian tribes, which were closest to the Roman city's sphere of influence, did not even have decent ships.
It happened that Bai Feng lacked vital intelligence forces in the eastern part of the empire, so he listed the battlefield ghosts, who were extremely good at reconnaissance, as a key recruitment target, and the iron cannon spearmen, who had a special suppressive effect on orc warriors, were also the key recruitment targets of Bai Feng.
The 12 teams of iron artillery and spearmen, which had been promoted to the third level, had become the regular combat unit of the pro-soldier guards, stationed together with the Spartan heavy infantry and other systematic troops; before going out again, Bai Feng transferred 18 teams of iron artillery and gunmen from Rome to strengthen the combat strength of the pro-soldier guards.
As the commander of the pro-guard, Luculus really needed the troops under his personal command only in the various units of the pro-guard and a thousand cavalry, and the other four infantry wings and cavalry wings were all commanded by their wing commanders.
If Bai Feng has any combat orders, Luculus will directly give orders to the captains of the wings such as Sikila and Milaras according to the different tasks, and after that, Siqueira and the others will lead their respective wings to carry out specific combat missions.
In addition to the four infantry wings and cavalry wings, there are not a few system soldiers in the pro-soldier guards, and these thousands of elite system soldiers are the trump card troops in Bai Feng's hands that can completely suppress the orcs in terms of combat effectiveness, especially the iron artillery and spearmen who are weak in close combat.
The Spartan heavy infantry and royal pikemen were the main forces to build a frontal defensive line, supplemented by a salvo of iron artillery and spearmen, and the two flanks were attacked by iron cavalry and partner cavalry.
In the early morning of November 1, when the sound of trumpets sounded through Kogolin, the Fourth Army, which was ready to attack, finally set out on a counteroffensive against the occupied provinces, and the first force to leave the barracks was the 47th Army of Athos.
Antonelli, commander of the 1st Division of the 47th Army, led 10,000 imperial soldiers in white armor in the direction of the province of Toulon, which was the target of the 47th Army.
There were only about 2,000 orc warriors stationed in Brignolle, and the 47th Legion that attacked them was a standing army full of veterans.
The 20,000 men of the Forty-seventh Army marched out of the barracks, followed by the Forty-sixth Army of Upadama, which, like the Forty-seventh Army, was attacked at Marseille, in the province of Toulon.
Asassis's 45th Army Corps, whose target was the county of Dinee in the province of Toulon, and the arrangement of Bai Feng to make his own three legions to attack a fallen county was made by Bai Feng himself, and D'Ambrosio was only responsible for conveying orders.
D'Ambrosio's own troops, the Thirty-ninth Legion, of which he himself was the commander, the Fortieth Legion of Bella, and the Forty-fourth Legion of Giannou, three barely developed legions from the city defense army, were used by Bai Feng for the first time.
According to the information sent back by Adrien, the 10,000 orc warriors who plundered the province of Toulon had 2,000 each in the counties of Brignole, Marseille, and Digne, but 4,000 in the capital city of Toulon.
After seeing the six standing corps leave the barracks one after another, it was the turn of the Yulin Corps, which was headed by Bai Feng himself, to set off, and Hans's 1st Division was the first to embark on the journey, followed by López's 2nd Division, and finally Vermaelen's 5th Division.
It was not until all five divisions of the Yulin Legion had left the barracks that Bai Feng set out with Leonardo's Yulin Wing, followed by Luculus's personal guards, and finally the Fire Legion with Rodriguez acting as Legion.
The province of Brojansson, where the Swift Thieves are located, has four counties like the province of Toulon, and the military fortress-like base of the Swift Thieves is located in Brojansson County, the capital of the Brojansson Province.
Bai Feng, who decided to annex the Wind Thieves, ordered Rodriguez to lead the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions of the Fire Legion to attack Ambrande County in Brojansson Province after the army entered the territory of Brojansson Province.
The 4th and 5th Divisions of the Fire Legion, under Danilo, attacked Gap County in the province of Browjansson to the south, and the 1st and 5th Divisions of the Feathering Corps, under the leadership of Borg, attacked Le Monier in the province of Browjansson to the southwest.
The full-fledged pro-guard corps and the second, third, and fourth divisions of the Feather Forest Legion, as well as the Feather Forest Wing, which Bai Feng valued the most, went north to Bromyangson County, where the main force of the orc army in Broyangsson Province was located.
With 10,000 elite soldiers and 40,000 young refugees, the Wind Thieves Group was a big fat piece in Bai Feng's eyes; Originally, he was not completely sure that he would subdue the Wind Thieves Group, after all, it was a private army that Prince William had painstakingly managed with the help of Duke Cullen.
But what Bai Feng didn't expect was that the current Wind Thieves Group was facing a very serious food shortage crisis, this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Bai Feng, he could take advantage of this opportunity to bring the Wind Thieves Group under his command in one fell swoop!
On the night of the expulsion of Demps, Bai Feng issued an order to Adrian, who was far away in the province of Mengdan, to focus on investigating the situation of the Wind Thieves through the secret channel of the net, and many preparations must be done in order to take down the Wind Thieves in one go.
On the fourth day of the expedition, Hakufeng's headquarters officially entered the territory of Bronjansson County, and at this time, there was still one day before the Prince of Pros asked Hakufeng to deliver food to the Tempest Thieves.
The originally well-defended Swift Wind Thieves Troupe, after absorbing hundreds of thousands of refugees, had almost no secrets to speak of, and the intelligence officers who collected the net easily found all the information that Bai Feng needed.
According to the information sent back by Luo Net, Bai Feng concluded that the date of the complete food supply of the Wind Thieves Group was November 8, and in this way, Bai Feng still had three days to do his own thing before leading his army to the base of the Wind Thieves Group.
Bai Feng, who was not in a hurry to go to the Wind Thieves, made the recovery of Brojansson County his first goal, and for this reason, he sent López's 2nd Division and Bartloli's 4th Division a day in advance, so that the two of them would lead their troops to besiege Brojansson County first.
