After hygiene, Feige learned about water supply and drainage, camp and road planning, job rotation, and secret language arrangement. After completing the statistical calculation of logistics materials, he was finally arranged to the dormitory and began to learn the centralized planning of catering.

The king's army was gathered after the king had issued a conscription order to the various lords, and the nobles of each realm had to lead a number of soldiers corresponding to their ranks, as well as bring their own food and supplies for the remaining days of military service—the number of days they needed to be "self-sufficient" was recorded by Earl Hall. But after the days had been completed, if the king needed them to continue fighting, he had to provide food and grass and pay them.

Lords and knights could dine in the "officers' canteen", with a large tent separating them from the common soldiers. There are always three or five servants in the tent, and the chefs prepare roast chicken, grilled sausages, cheese pies, and washed fresh fruit. Although the food eaten every day is basically the same, it is a place for the lords to bond and socialize, especially to meet and communicate with Earl Hall, so there is always no shortage of people. Even when it's not time to eat, people come here to smoke a shisha or light a cigar. If you stay in this tent every day and don't go out, you will definitely not feel any battlefield atmosphere.

Ordinary soldiers eat very simply. You say bread, food that needs to be fermented doesn't exist in a large army, at least not at this level of supply. Pressed baked dough and a soup made it a meal for the average soldier twice a day. There may be a little bit of meat, but poor cheese is used to build good soldiers, and the average soldier's most important thing every day is to have a sip of ale to satisfy their cravings.

"The food supply is a bit stressful. After spending three days in the room, Feige took the initiative to find Earl Hall. "Father, in two weeks' time, the time for most of the lords to serve will be up, and the camp must provide them with food. I did the math of warehousing and found that there was a good chance that there would be a supply issue. Can I go build a teleportation array?"

The Earl of Hall wore a beautiful silk shirt with a leather waistcoat over it, a shiny Medal of Honor on his chest, and crisp gray breeches and brown leather boots under a thick belt with a long dagger. He was dressed very formally, as if he was waiting for some important guest.

He looked up and saw that Feige was wearing a coarse cloth shirt with a loose leather armor covered in oil. For several days, Feige has been performing all kinds of basic work in the camp in this costume, and it can be said that he has experienced all kinds of positions. Earl Hall sent someone to keep an eye on him, or secretly observed it himself, and was so pleased with his performance during this time that he even thought 'it would be better if it had been like this in the past'.

"Don't worry, go and freshen up and change your clothes first, and take out the appearance of an important minister in the inner court, the matter of supply and teleportation array is not in a hurry for a while. Count Hall said, "In a few moments reinforcements from the elves will arrive, and you and I will meet them." ”

"Elves, what are they doing?"

"Let's go change clothes first!" the Count grimaced and pointed upstairs with his hand: "Hurry up! Call Xia Ni along! I know she's waiting for you outside!

In the days when Feige was "assigned" to become a camp handyman, Shani also pretended to be his attendant and followed him through all the work. Feige also told Xia Ni that she didn't need to go through this, but Xia Ni didn't persuade her again after she insisted. Since we can be together, what is not a kind of happiness? Two people can talk and laugh, and they can also find ways to do things better together. And there are some things that Feige can get Sam to help, which greatly reduces Shanny's workload and doesn't tire her.

Summoning Shani, who was waiting outside the door, the two of them smirked and went to the room on the second floor to remove their disguises and change into formal clothes. One was a white mage robe with protective runes circulating, and the other was a crimson dress, and when the two of them walked down hand in hand, Count Hall's eyes lit up.

"I haven't seen you wearing this for a few days, and suddenly I'm a little surprised. The Count said, "From this day onwards, your basic study of the barracks is over. ”

"It's over? I've only been doing each post for two or three days, and there are still a lot of ideas for improvement that I haven't tried......

"I'm not trying to make you the strongest sergeant major, I'm just letting you know what's going on in the barracks! The people of the Hall family want to learn to lead soldiers, not be soldiers! The King's Army can lack a soldier named Feige Hall, but it can't lack any leader whose surname is Hall!"

"Got it, I'll try it out later when I'm in the Hell Knights. Feige beckoned, and Midnight rushed over like a dark shadow, grabbed his knees and belt, and lightly jumped on Feige's flat forearms, standing firmly on them, and his tail naturally wrapped around his elbows. Feige lowered his head and whispered a few words in its ear, stretched out at midnight, and then sprang out, turning a few corners in everyone's field of vision, and disappearing out the door.

"I'll send it to the sentry, and if the elves come it will tell me. Feige sat down and poured two glasses of light fruit wine for Shanny and herself. This lightly scented drink doesn't get drunk, and it lasts longer than water. "Do you want us to eat when the elves come? I calculated the consumption and input, and the stock of food will not be enough. ”

"We don't need so many soldiers, and when the time comes, let it go, and the consumption will go down. The Count took Feige's cup, craned his neck and drank it down, and then said, "We only need five thousand, or at most eight thousand, of the Church's assembled forces. I plan to keep only 10,000 here, and those who are close and whose service period is up, let them go back first. ”

"If it's only ten thousand, then there's really no need to rush......" Feige took a sip. Yes, it's very refreshing, it's indeed a noble enjoyment, much better than the ale in the room. "But I don't understand one thing: why do you go first with the closest distance?"

"On the one hand, if you don't let them eat some of the king's things, and don't find an opportunity for them to show themselves, won't it dampen their enthusiasm? The ones who are close are right under their noses, and if something happens, they will not dare to fight? What kind of battle will be the most active? It is always the kind that defends their territory!"

Feige snorted, this was indeed an old-fashioned and cunning method. The feudal lord system, in which the lords of various places had military power, Count Hall made arrangements to preserve the maximum war potential.

"How many troops has our archbishop gathered?" Feige asked curiously, having not yet seen the military power of the Church.

"The priests and paladins add up to two thousand, and the believer soldiers are twice as many, and they are gathering at the castle of Kashan, a hundred miles from here, believing that they will come in a while. Earl Hall snorted: "The time of their departure is stuck at the end of the service of some of our lords, it seems that someone has sold the logistics and service information!"

"But it could be just a coincidence, don't worry too much about it. Feige rubbed his nose: "If you feel stressed, I can find a way to cause some trouble on the church side without causing a direct conflict." ”

"I don't need you to fight this battle, and the victory is definitely mine. Count Hall waved his hand and said, "It's just that I'm getting older and can't always go to the front. In terms of military affairs, you will definitely help Andrew more in the future, and you also saw this trend when you established the Hell Knights, right?"

"The Hell Knights are used to deal with giant beasts...... Feige looked at Count Hall's face, and then shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, you won't believe it anyway, you will only say that I have found a good excuse to expand my military power." ”

Count Hall snorted. Anyway, Feige has begun to make up for military common sense, and his brain is not stupid, and those flexible and cunning ideas give him a great advantage, and that is enough. The Hall family has many family knights with mid-level command skills, and these are loyal helpers who can be trusted. And the knowledge of dealing with nobles and co-ordinating has long been taught to Feige, who already has the basic conditions to command the army, which can completely help Andrew reduce his burden.

"This time it's Minas Ishir Elves. ”

Earl Hall's words made Feige frown deeply. The elves of Minas Ihir join the army of the United Kingdom of Hoya and then fight against the opposing church army?The brain circuits of the elves are strange, but they are not so strange, right?

"These elves are here to make trouble, right? They might even stab us in the back......," Feige said, "Let them go back where they came from, and it would be nice to concentrate on building their territories and not starving to death!

"Outside of the military, these elves are useful. Count Hall said, "The elves have established stable diplomatic relations with the Duchy of Aria for a long time. Since humans are generally wary of elves and are worried about another race war, only a few people know about it. ”

"With the help of the Aria family, the status of elves in the church has risen, otherwise how could there be a group of elven paladins such as Didlet? First, it is not good for our family, and secondly, I found out that the Grand Duke of Aria wants to turn the relationship between the principality and the elves into the relationship between the Aria family and the elves. As a Templar, I still have some influence in the Church, which basically balances out the extra help that Aria gives to the elves. ”

"Later, when I learned that the elves had assassinated you, I knew that they had become Ariya's weapon against the House of Hall. When Earl Hall said this, his eyes inadvertently revealed a trace of hatred, as if Aria's death could not completely let him go. "The elves have chosen the wrong collaborator, the new King is a member of the Hale family, and their previous efforts have all been in vain. This time, the elves want to rebuild relations and bind the United Kingdom of Hoya nobles. ”

"Why isn't it the Hale family?" Feige was stunned.

The Count poked himself in the head and sighed and made a gesture of helplessness. "The elves of Minas Ihir came over this time, even if they can't increase their combat power, they are still demonstrative. ”

"Yes, it's still very demonstrative. "Feige doesn't like elves very much, but he has to admit it. The root of this conflict is still for the Lighthouse Leader, and the Lighthouse Leader is also a part of the Model Leader, and it naturally touches other Model Leaders.

There are quite a few priests and paladins in the Holy Three Castle, but there are not many regular troops. The model territory is built according to the secular territory, which can just make up for the shortcomings in this regard. So far, the Paladins and Clerics of the Model Leader have answered the call, but none of the Lords have acted.

When you become a lord, you will think in terms of your lordship, and they will think that the church is a bit unreasonable in this matter. How can the original promise be changed casually, Andrew has become a king, but he didn't agree in advance that this means that he will automatically give up his previous territory! If the archbishop can act so wantonly, then is it necessary for the various lords of the model leader to work hard? Anyway, the achievements of the construction are not necessarily their own.

As a result, there were no ordinary soldiers on the front line at all, only some miscellaneous men who helped build camps and did some hard work. Anyway, until the archbishop gives the order for a general call, these lords are not prepared to act.

Minas Ihir was the first to act, but joined the King's army. This gave the church a hard slap in the face, and it roughly showed that Minas Ishil is an elf, as long as the lord is alive, as long as the lord does not take the initiative to abdicate, don't think about replacing it indiscriminately! Considering the long life span of the elves, this is basically a declaration of independence.

"The elves thank you for saving your compatriots who have been kidnapped by pirates, and for knowing that His Majesty the King has sent a navy to completely destroy the pirates and send ships to take the elves ashore, so they have come to join the King's army. The Earl shook his head: "I haven't dealt with the elves much, and I don't know much about them, so today it is mainly you who will deal with this matter." Arrange them in the southeast camp, as long as they can stay honestly and don't have any problems. ”

"Ah, I see. If they have more people, can I make them downsized, so that the possibility of problems can be further reduced. ”

Earl Hall nodded in agreement, and Feige remembered Bennie and her father, and asked, "Have any nobles recently written to you to provide mercenary services in the barracks?"

"Well? There is no such thing. The Earl looked at Feiqi with some strange eyes: "To be a mercenary for the army?

"Strange ......" Feige glanced at Xia Ni, who had been following her lately and hadn't asked about Beni. Just then, Midnight slipped in and pointed outside with his paws.

The elves have arrived.
