It will take time for the noble lords in the county to assemble, but it won't take long. After all www.biquge.info noble lords are not arrogant fools, and they don't dare to play any tricks when the strength of the royal family still has an absolute advantage.

Within a few days, the lords and nobles from all over Brettnia rushed to the county one after another. When the farthest lord of the realm arrived, the makeshift camp outside Brightnia was already full of people. The aristocratic coalition of thousands of people set up camp and began to march mightily.

On Earth, the average person walks at a speed of about four to seven kilometers per hour, regardless of road conditions, and can reach a speed of close to ten kilometers per hour.

The humans in the world of Iber are not in the slightest difference in physiology from those in the earth world, but the humans in the world of Iber are affected by the psionic energy present in the world, and are slightly stronger in terms of physical strength than the humans in the earth world. This is even more evident in the case of military-trained human soldiers (although non-combatants cannot actively absorb psionic energy into vindictive energy or magical power, psionic energy is not without effects on the human body).

So in the world of Iber, it is common for trained soldiers to march at speeds of more than 10 kilometers per hour.

At this rate, the distance of the coalition army's march in a day can reach about 80 kilometers (calculated according to the calculation of an eight-hour march in a day). Strictly speaking, the distance is not short. However, this speed is not very fast compared to the length of the whole journey.

Brettnia County is located on the southern border of the kingdom, and the length of the march to the battlefield of the 'War of the Demons' outside the northern part of the kingdom is almost the entire north and south of the kingdom, and the total distance is more than 2,000 kilometers.

And that's just the straight-line distance on the map, and the actual distance is only a lot longer than the map distance.

Based on the maximum distance of eighty kilometers in a day, the coalition of nobles of Bretnia, where Kasha was located, would take at least a month.

The speed of a mixed force of several thousand foot, horse, and chariot troops depends on the slowest part of the group. Prarell's troops were all armed with horses and chariots (not counting the alchemy soldiers under his command), and the marching speed was the fastest among the coalition forces. However, the troops of the other aristocratic coalition armies were not treated so well, and at most half of the soldiers in those aristocratic troops had chariots and horses to travel, and the rest of the soldiers could only rely on their own two legs to march, and some soldiers even had to carry some of the materials that could not be loaded in the baggage wagons.

Therefore, the maximum marching distance of 80 kilometers a day is only an ideal number, and it is very difficult to achieve in practice.

However, the noble lords who led the team did not show too much anxiety, because there was absolutely plenty of time for the summoning order issued by the kingdom.

In fact, in the Wars of the Demons in the Darkglow Years, it took the kingdom three or four months to assemble its army, and after the War of the Demons was over, the assembled armies would spend the same amount of time returning home. The real battle against demons lasted only one-third of the entire year of Darklight. The other two-thirds of the time was spent on the march.

"It's just tossing people!"

In the camp of the nobles of Breitnia County, next to a campfire surrounded by a tent, Shi Jinxin shouted loudly and angrily, and at the same time threw the branch of the fire in his hand into the fire.

Thankfully, the whole camp was full of people shouting and neighing, and his shouting didn't attract much attention from outsiders. Although a few coalition soldiers passing by the neighborhood poked their heads out curiously, after seeing the patrols walking back and forth with weapons on the periphery of the camp, these coalition soldiers dispelled their curiosity and stayed away.

"Don't lose your temper senselessly." Yang Qianyu soothes Shi Jinxin, who is losing his temper, while spinning the blue-crowned magpie (a medium-sized bird in the world of Iber) smoked on a campfire. This magpie was startled by the movement of the troops when it passed by a forest on the way to the march, and was hunted by the crossing people.

It was Zheng Kaidong who shot the magpie hunt, and this girl was getting familiar with the sub-skill 'Hard Bow' [passive skill, which increases the range and rate of fire of the bow and arrow (this skill is invalid for non-bow and arrow weapons)]. As a result of this unlucky result, the blue-crowned magpie happened to be sent to the door by himself and became Zheng Kaidong's live target.

By the way, it became a supper for a group of boys at night.

At this time, it was camping time after a day of marching of the coalition army, and the girls who crossed the crowd had eaten dinner early and went to bed - although they had been staying in the giant carriage during the day's march, but the carriage would bump from time to time, so these girls had no way to rest during the day, and could only rely on chatting or playing cards (thanks to the blessing of the cardboard that Yang Qianyu had inadvertently made) to kill time, and only when camping at night could they sleep well.

As for the boys, in addition to managing the alchemy soldiers under their command during the daytime march, some of them will also scatter and mix with other teams of the coalition (except for the elite units directly under the lords of the coalition, the members are mixed, and it is not too difficult to get in) to inquire about some news about the Year of Darkness or the Battle of the Demons. Some of the ordinary soldiers and mercenaries in the coalition forces are also veterans who have participated in one or several battles against demons, and they know some of the news. It's not that hard to get out of the mouths of these guys, and a bag of pure ale wine without water is guaranteed to get a lot of information out of each other's mouths. As for the authenticity of these news, it will be slowly analyzed and sorted out in the future.

For example, this is how the news about the actual progress and duration of the Demon War is obtained (of course, although it is 'popular', it is not a news that can be found whenever and wherever you ask).

"But it's true that as Kaneko said, the conscription orders issued by the kingdom to the lords of various places seem to be somewhat rectifying." Ruan Kunpeng was talking to Yang Qianyu while staring at the roast magpie cooked in Yang Qianyu's hand, as if he was thinking about which part of the roast magpie meat would be better to start with for a while. "This kind of military summoning, summoning the lord's troops in the northern region should be enough. The South is so far away from each other that it has to send troops to participate in the war, and the efficiency ratio is obviously too low. ”

"Obviously, the kingdom doesn't care about this efficiency ratio." Li Xiang said suddenly.

There was a sudden silence in the room, and everyone looked thoughtful.

"Well, I really don't care." Fu Bin nodded abruptly beside him.

Yang Qianyu stretched out his index finger and dipped it in the roasted golden magpie meat, then stretched out his tongue and licked his fingers, smiling slightly as if he was very satisfied with his barbecue skills.

"Boss, what do you mean by that?" Ma Jun obviously didn't react.
