On the official road from Hunter to Drifting Snow City,

Richard drove south with an army of more than 6,000 men.

The team is carrying a dozen bear hunting crossbows with a lot of seniority, and the overall marching speed is not fast, and if you look closely at the senior team in the rear, you can also find two strange coffins, and those who don't know think that the commander is to stimulate morale and carry the coffin out to fight.

And the number of troops is still increasing, along the way there are nobles attached to the Hunter family to lead the army to join, and it is expected that the number of the final army will reach more than 8,000,

It stands to reason that the Hunter family is not qualified to recruit these lords to participate in the war, but the current strength of the Hunter family is already qualified to be unreasonable in the Northland.

Under Richard's order, the lords who were previously attached to Richard consciously joined the team with their soldiers in accordance with the previous standards.

Of course, these lords are not completely forced by the strength of the Hunter family, they have a certain degree of enthusiasm, after all, following Richard to fight, meritorious service will be rewarded, and they can also follow to earn a little military merit.

Richard's headquarters army is also stronger than before, and after a few days of rectification, thousands of peasant soldiers with combat experience have been added to the original Flying Bear Army, forming the main army led by Richard now.

So far, almost all of the peasant soldiers who were first attached to the villages of the Hunter family have been supplemented into the regular army.

These peasant soldiers have been trained for a long time, and their will to fight and discipline are also guaranteed, and they basically participated in the initial war with the Will family.

After joining the Flying Bear Army, a set of sophisticated equipment will be distributed, and after a few days of familiarization and rectification, the combat effectiveness is guaranteed.

But after expanding the army, it is impossible to drag it to the battlefield just after enlistment, and if you really want to do that, it is almost equivalent to murder.

Counting the Will Leader, the territory controlled by the Hunter family has expanded by more than seven or eight times compared to the original, and the lords who have served the Hunter family such as Nader and Bender have also been included in the Hunter family's farming system.

It's a pity that the time was still too short to provide Richard's army with sufficiently high-quality peasant soldiers as a supplement.

In this expanded army, Richard still left two banner regiments of 10,000 people to continue training in the Hunter Territory, and by the way, stationed in the Hunter Territory.

In case of an emergency, it is not much of a problem for these 10,000 recruits to defend the city.

"Lord Richard, are we going to support Drifting Snow City directly?"

Baron Bender was on the sidelines, and although his territory was not the closest, it was not too late, and he should have set off as soon as he received the news.

"No, let's wait and see when we get to the place."

Richard understood that Baron Bender was a little worried, and he actually knew it in his heart, and he didn't swell because he was promoted to the Grand Knight and recruited two diamond people.

Originally, there were more ogres than them, and the quality of individual soldiers was generally higher than that of the human army, and even Richard had little confidence in high-end combat power, but there was already a strong man of the rank of Earth Knight on the opposite side.

Now there is no existence in Richard's army that can confront the other side,

Besides, Richard had heard too much about the operation of encircling the point to send reinforcements in his previous life, he had never eaten pork in his previous life, and the pig ran every day.

Although Richard knows that it is reasonable, he can't send it, and now it's more of a gesture to send troops.

Because a few days ago, Richard received an unexpected military order, ordering him to lead his army to aid Drifting Snow City,

The person who issued the order was the Dragon Knight of the Golden Dragon Kingdom and the Temporary Governor of the River Valley...... Supreme Commander of the Northland Battlefield, Thor,

The list of titles made Richard a little confused, although he was not sure how he had attracted the attention of such a big man, but it did not prevent Richard from knowing that this was a big man he could not afford to offend now.

Sending troops now is also a gesture for Richard, with the advantage of the griffin's aerial reconnaissance, Richard can firmly control the initiative of whether to participate in the war, without worrying about being attacked by ogres first,

Anyway, if you find that the situation is not right, you can slip away, and it is okay to give face to the big guys, but if you want Richard to use his own army to build it, it will definitely not work.

And even if Richard doesn't directly participate in the war with people, as long as he appears near Drifting Snow City, it will be a kind of containment for ogres, as long as the other party is not stupid, it is impossible to ignore Richard near the battlefield at all.

"Alright, let's stop and rest when we get to the right place ahead for camping."

Seeing that it was not early, Richard gave the order to camp and rest,

Richard didn't make any hasty marches, the number of troops has risen, so it will affect the combat effectiveness very much, just maintain a normal marching speed and go to Drifting Snow City.

river valley,

Residence of the Provisional Governor,

Since the news of the fall of Herburg came a few days ago, Saul has not had a smile on his face,

"Lord Thor, the garrison is ready to go."

"The order goes down, the garrison corps and the new first corps in the river valley will go out tomorrow, and the new second corps will be stationed in Zhenbei Pass to strengthen the defense."

"But, Lord Thor, the two newly formed legions have been formed for too short."

Kuzi on the side was a little worried, the garrison corps was okay to say, originally more than 6,000 people were well-trained veterans, and some of the nobles' family soldiers were added to enter,

Even if nearly 10,000 recruits have been recruited, they still have initial combat effectiveness after training with the old and the new after a month.

However, the two newly formed corps are completely new troops, the training time is not long, and there are not enough qualified grassroots officers.

The only thing that is on the table is that the equipment is quite well-equipped, and it can be used as a model when pulled out.

Maybe you can't beat the peasant soldiers under Richard's command,

If this is against the ogre, it will collapse to the commander in minutes.

"You must send troops, you can slow down, go out of the town Beiguan first, organize a military discipline team on the road, and then grasp military discipline, and select some more veterans from the garrison corps to expand the scale of the supervision team."

Thor's thinking is very clear, at this time, he must lead his troops out of Zhenbei Pass, even if his army is weak and pitiful, but as long as he goes north, it is a gesture,

He did it for the lords of the Northlands to see, and the panic caused by the fall of Fort Helburg to the lords of the Northlands was huge.

Even if there are signs of commotion in the Drifting Snow City Dou with Lint in charge,

As long as Thor goes north with tens of thousands of troops, he can somewhat appease people's hearts and stabilize the situation.

Especially to give Drifting Snow City some hope, Thor still doesn't know what the means of Lint who is sitting in Drifting Snow City are,

He gave the Lancet family an order to hold on and wait for help, and he had to give them some hope, lest they abandon the city and flee in despair.

The situation in the Northland has completely collapsed,

In a sense, Saul's thinking coincides with Richard's, both of them are acting, but Richard is acting for Saul, and Saul is acting for all the lords of the Northland.
