The camp of the "King's Army" stretched for several miles, after all, there were 20,000 people under the fortress. It is impossible for these 20,000 men to all sleep on three bunks, huddled together head to foot and foot to shoulder—they must not wait for a trebuchet to come down with a stone and destroy a hundred!

Half a mile from the camp, sharpened wooden stakes formed the first sentry posts, where soldiers armed with spears and bows and arrows were stationed. Behind the defensive line, the camp stretched into the distance, and the curling smoke formed dozens of pillars, which rose high in the windless weather. From here, many heavily armed men can be seen sharpening their weapons, while giggling as the porters slip and fall in the muddy ground. A lot of dogs were running around, fighting for leftovers, throwing mud everywhere.

Ordinary soldiers camped in the open air, knights had at least tents, and lords were allowed to live in fortified houses made of masonry. The whole camp was still in the process of preparing for battle, and more houses were being built, so that the knights could move into the houses, and the tents were left for the ordinary soldiers, in short, they would not be wasted. But it would take a few days to build a house for the knights after all the sentry posts and fences had been repaired.

Sam shows the crest of the Hall family, and the camp is unobstructed. Somewhat proud, he introduces Merry and Pippin to the noble flags along the way: the Rupert family's red-toothed boar, the Joyce family's thorn tree, and the Keith family's snake eater......

The banners of the nobles have their own characteristics, but they all defend the royal and Templar banners of the House of Hall. The Count's quarters, near the water's edge, on a slightly higher slope, were a small masonry tower with a third floor as a lookout post, from which the whole camp could be easily seen, and it could be said that it was in the safest and most central position.

The carriage was finally stopped, and Feige breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the knight in his family's armor was able to perform his duties without relaxation. He jumped out of the carriage first, turning around to grab Shanny's hand and help her down. But Shani shook her head and jumped down cleanly. Feige smiled, but still took her hand. He stomped his feet, his magic overflowing, turning the mud into solid stone.

"Is my father in there?"

The knight of the family brought Feige inside, and Earl Hall, wearing a sweatshirt lined with armor, rolled up his sleeves, and was sweating profusely playing with mud. A sand table from a nearby area was on a table in front of him, and the surrounding undulating terrain was displayed on it. When Feige came in through the open door, he looked up, and a smile appeared on his lips, "Okay, here we are." ”

"Father, I heard from Andrew that you wanted me to come non-stop, so I came. But I wondered, why do I have to keep going? I can teleport or fly faster. Oh, by the way, I brought Shani with me. ”

"Your room is on the second floor, where there is the armor and some civilian clothes that were made for you before. You're a little fatter now, and you probably won't be able to wear it, but Shani should be fine. The Count still had the clay in his hands, so he just nodded to Xia Ni: "You have to dress as a man in the barracks, for the safety of my soldiers, and for the sake of my soldiers, and it will also allow me to deal less with the wounded who have been knocked down by you." ”

"You guessed I'm going to bring Shani over?"

"No, I'm just preparing for every eventuality, just using my brain and my tongue. Shouldn't that be what you're best at?" the Count told Shane to change her clothes first, and called Feige to her side. "Move a stool and sit down. ”

"No, I'd better stand. Feige reclined on the cat teaser, and his position was already comfortable. He looked at the sand table in front of him, which was a bird's-eye view of the entire camp and its surroundings, and it didn't extend far from the edge of the box. "Doesn't this mark the enemy's location?"

"Enemy, do you mean the Church might send troops?" Count Hall looked at Feige meaningfully, and said with a smile, "Do you think that I will really fight, or will I be defeated without a big sand table?"

"Shouldn't it be a full set of acting?" Feige said, "Winning is a must-win, but really fighting is not the original purpose." If the church's eyeliner or the nobles who secretly communicate with the church come in and see this sand table and say it, won't it let the church know that we don't have the heart to fight?"

"Then why don't you ask what's going on on the other side?"

"Uh, what's going on on the other side?" Feige scratched his head.

"So far nothing has happened. The Count replied, "There are sporadic paladins patrolling the vicinity, but they have been chased away by our soldiers. The church has been slow to move and has not yet begun to gather troops. Some priests and paladins organized themselves and set up camp in tents on a hill thirty miles from us. I sent people to see it, and they only had one well, and it would exhaust all their physical strength to carry grain and grass up every day. In the face of such an opponent, if I am still as nervous as if I am facing a great enemy, don't I know that I am acting?"

Makes sense. On the stage, the actors who are playing against each other do not come up, and using too much force at this time will only ruin things. "The reaction of the Holy Three Castle is too full, shouldn't they know about our assembly?"

"The news has been spread for a long time, and it is impossible for them not to know about it. Earl Hall looked at Feige again: "That intelligence chief of Maxers has made a big move this time, and has released a lot of interesting news, so he almost invited a circus to teach to play the United Kingdom Assembly March! Who did he learn this from?"

"It's about me......" Feige was a little self-aware, after all, holding a flag to advertise at a competitive conference was his first precedent.

"I know it's you, too. In the entire inner court, this kind of scaring idea can only be imagined by a weird brain like yours. ”

"Is this a criticism or a compliment?" Feige was a little unsure of what the Earl's smiling expression meant. Looking at the fire of his soul, one can read the excitement. But is this the excitement of beating him up, or the excitement of patting him on the shoulder and saying, "You're doing a good job"?

"I've taught you a lot of things, but I haven't taught you how to lead troops into battle. Count Hall suddenly changed the subject: "I went to see your Knights of Hell, their training is interesting, and in many places even I have to admire the whimsy! But fighting is not about shouting slogans and kicking steps, but about struggling in muddy water and making the enemy bleed as much as possible in the pile of corpses." ”

"I know that war is killing. ”

"Wrong. Fighting is killing, but war is not. Count Hall took a rag and scraped the clay off his hands, and scrubbed it in the basin of water. With the sound of rushing water, he said, "It is a good thing that your mind has been blessed by the goddess to become very flexible, and it is also a good thing that you can think of some ingenious and labor-saving methods." However, the hard work of war will not disappear completely, and you lack a lot of foundation. ”

"And you're going to teach me?" Feige understood the meaning of the count's words.

"Yes, I'm going to teach you. The Earl nodded: "It just so happens that this time the church is slow to react, and it is very likely that it will directly admit and agree to His Majesty's proposal, so the whole operation has become a gathering without any pressure." ”

"How to fight after the war, I think you look down on me, otherwise you wouldn't have established the Hell Knights and engaged in any magic soldiers. The Count wiped his hands, rubbed his face with his slightly moistened palm, and then said, "I don't want to be bored with myself, so I won't teach you those tactical things, but this time I will only teach you the basics, the most tedious but most important things." ”

"Okay, just listen to me. Fitch recalls what "himself" used to be about learning, slightly lessens his resistance, and responds, "You won't forbid me to use magic to complete my studies, will you?"

"That's your own business. Earl Hall sat down in a large wooden chair and relaxed with a towel wiping the sweat from the front of his neck and chest, his legs resting on the armrests of the chair, his feet dangling. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "I'm not going to teach those lieutenants, but also to ask them to not change in the slightest. I'll teach you one, you just have to learn it, and then forget about me. ”

"You're a little insincere, but I understand the meaning. I'll learn it as soon as possible, so that you can sit in this posture on the family manor with a bottle of wine in your hand, and rest in peace. ”

"Why? I don't like that! Aria is dead, and I shouldn't have come out to do anything?" the Count snorted angrily, "Come, I'll give you the number one priority in the barracks." ”

"Grain?" Feige asked.

"Thatched pit!"

Right. It's not a "top priority", but it's a "top priority" thing. When the army comes together, it is not just about the people eating and the horses, what happens behind them is just as important, if not more important. Health safety, morale and discipline all depend on it. It is an important part of combat effectiveness and logistics.

Although the smell is not good, and sometimes the nose needs to be blocked, this big thing must not be viewed with colored glasses. Even elves who are considered beautiful and elegant have to go to the toilet, and herbivores tend to excrete even more ...... Forget it, this can't be too big. Feige's research focused on spatial spells and rune spells, not taxonomy.

How to divide the ditches, how to meet the needs of people and maintain hygiene, how to clean and avoid contaminating precious water sources. "Soldiers are often reluctant to stay in the vicinity for long because of the smell, which leaves a gap in vigilance and defense, which must also be taken into account......"

Maybe I should invent a spell to make this thing disappear? But what magician would want to go to the field every day to cast this spell?" "So detailed? Could it be that I'm going to dig a pit with my own hands in the future?"

The Count raised his hand and slapped Feige on the head—he felt as if his hand had been slapped on an iron ingot, and he kept aching, and hastened to hide it. "I'm not trying to train you to be a ...... You have to know if your subordinates are doing the right thing, and you have to know who is doing it well. ”

"It makes sense, too. Feiqi nodded, "You go on." ”

"Needless to say, just go get started. Earl Hall rubbed the new sharp stubble under his lips with the back of his fingers, and said, "There are three hundred more men in the camp to the west, and the work there has not yet begun." I'll give you a few craftsmen, and you go and do it well. Also, after you finish it, you will patrol the entire camp and see what is not going to change. You've got only three days, and there's a lot more to come!"

This is definitely a "heavy duty"! Before coming, Feige had thought about his possible solo position and the role he would play in the camp, and he had no idea that it would be like this. No wonder all the armor and clothes prepared are handed over to Xia Ni to wear, he doesn't need to wear armor for this job, and there is no need to change into new clothes!

Soon, Feige was glad that what he was best at was spatial spells! In the mission given to him by the Count, the elemental spells were of very low utility. The freezing only caused trouble for cleanup, the acid would destroy the buildings that had been built with great difficulty, and the flames would produce a smell that would make the entire camp vomit, effectively adding to the workload. As for lightning? Are you going to get some flowers from the sky?

Ah, the sea, a vast and great place, and Fei Qi just knows a coordinate. He is not on any shipping route, and where does the Yongli Continent come from, open a spatial passage, and then the trouble in front of him soars into the distance. No more digging pits, cleaning, moving, and burying, all the tedious work is solved by the spatial teleportation spell.

It's a pity that only Fei Qi has the ability to cast such a spell in the entire camp.

"Lord Earl, what did Feige do?" Summery walked down from the second floor dressed in men's clothes, hiding her figure under chain mail and carrying a full-face helmet in her hand. She struggled to find the right outfit, and took the time to tidy up her and Feige's little room. Xia Ni knew that there must be a lot to say between the father and son downstairs, and it was inconvenient for her to disturb her, so she waited in the room for Fei Qi to come up. But Fege never showed up, and Midnight didn't listen to sneezes by his side, wiping his nose and rubbing his eyes with his furry paws over and over again. She couldn't wait, so she came down.

"Oh, I'll let him go to the barracks and do some work on it. I completely forgot about you just now, probably because I'm not used to having women in the barracks. The Count patted his head, then pointed to the chair beside him. "Sit down for a while, and I'll send someone to see where he is, and if you want to find him, I'll take you there." You're dressed very well, as long as you don't open your mouth, you shouldn't be able to see it. ”

"Thank you. Shani sat down. She noticed that Earl Hall had just finished a meal, and the scraps hadn't had time to clean up. The plate contained lamb shank bones, chicken racks, fish heads, grape skins, apples and a few leftovers of vegetable leaves, and less than half of a full bottle of Hale wine's crest on it. It seems that the Count is still healthy and in a good mood today, otherwise how could he have such a good appetite?

Anyway, Feige didn't.

He was busy designing and building a ...... with a spatial teleportation of self-throwing piles new pits.
