Chapter 870: Early Morning

At the same moment, when Fort Domik's magic clock pointed to 10 o'clock in the evening, the 1st Infantry Division, which had already been assembled, quickly rushed to the trucks in the square guided by the illuminated circle in the square with the sound of slogans.

The infantry divisions, which had been moving here a month earlier, numbered more than 4,000 men, and at this time they were all dressed in standard individual combat equipment, and although they were numerous and trotting, they always maintained a neat queue. There are more than 60 trucks lined up in four rows in a huge square, with numerical numbers on their bodies. The platoon teams boarded the carriages under the leadership of the platoon commander.

Twenty minutes later, with the addition of six giant trucks for combat use, the convoy of more than eighty began to slowly move out. The target is the temple.

The location of Fort Domik to get to the temple requires a journey of eighty kilometers to the north, a bypass of the mountains, and another forty kilometers to the southeast, for a total distance of at least one hundred and fifty kilometers. At the speed of an ordinary troop, it would take more than a week. However, it took only three hours for a fleet of trucks to transport more than 1,600 people at a time!

In the early hours of the morning, the first convoy of trucks returned and began to carry the second convoy.

"Get on board!"

The engineering company was also in the second batch of transfer teams, the platoon commander Loshak shouted at the soldiers behind him, and the young people who were always hippie and smiling on weekdays were tense at the moment, and they all boarded the carriage in silence. Loshak confirmed that there were no fewer people in the whole platoon, and said loudly to the driver in front: "Boarding is over!"

"Roger!"

The driver, who also belonged to the Panzer Division, wore the same uniform, and after saluting Loshak, he turned around and boarded the cockpit. The hum of the engine was already loud, and Loshak turned his head to look... At night, Fort Domick still looks like a mound of broken earth, but in stark contrast to it, there is a neat tent next to it that seems to be endless.

Even with the military operation of thousands of troops, the entire camp could only hear the orders of the non-commissioned officers, but there was no noisy conversation. In the distance, there was a hill of supplies, and the runway of the airport, which was faintly visible in the night, and because of the glowing circle on the runway, he could also see a Falcon reconnaissance plane moored to the side.

More than half of the buildings in the camp were built or improved with the help of the engineering company. Therefore, Loล™รกk couldn't help but feel some inexplicable emotions. But when he turned his head and saw the soldiers looking at him in the carriage in front of him, he quickly suppressed all his emotions and stepped into the carriage with the help of the soldiers next to him reaching out and dragging him.

The young lads understood that they were really going to the battlefield right now.

"The sound is controlled, the lights are controlled, everyone can rest, and everything will be said when they reach their destination. โ€

Loshak tugged on his belt and reached out to hold on to the railing next to him when the truck began to move, "Don't embarrass Lao Tzu when you go to the battlefield, if anyone violates the order, Lao Tzu will not recognize you as my soldier!"

Hearing the platoon commander's slightly ruffian words, the soldiers struggled to squeeze out a smile. But most people still clenched their fingers involuntarily... They don't know what awaits them tomorrow, and all of them share the same confusion and fear.

There was a strange buzz in the distance, and Loshak turned his head to look out the window of the car and saw a convoy of vehicles driving into Fort Domik's camp, presumably from Parr.

He was a little puzzled as to why the other party didn't go directly to the temple where the main battlefield was located, but the strange sound in his ears became louder and louder, and he felt a little familiar, because the propeller of the "Falcon" was also like this, but it was far less dense.

Turning his face to the window and looking up, Loshak finally discovered the source of the sound - and he, like the other soldiers, grew his mouth as stunned as if he had witnessed the descent of the gods...

"Goddess Siqi is above..."

That night, a convoy of 5,000 soldiers of the 1st Infantry Division, engineering companies of the 1st Panzer Division, and combat trucks from Parling and Fort Domik arrived at the Temple, and in 12 hours, Evta crammed 6,000 men into the empty "Temple" city.

By the time the last troops arrived at the Temple, the soldiers who had arrived early had already boarded another group of trucks and were on their way to battle.

May 9, four o'clock in the morning.

Donkel City.

It was an important city sixty kilometers south of the temple - before this year, the city of Dunkel was not really prosperous, because the temple was in the north and the city of Layena in the south, and its main function was to be a transit between the two. During last year's Orc War, Zoro led his troops directly through Ivota and drove straight into the southern part of the kingdom, and the territory where Donkel was located inevitably became a hard-hit area.

Of course, because of the walled city of Donkel, the losses in the city were not serious, but the towns and villages on the outskirts were severely looted or slaughtered. As a result, the city is still suffering from a plummeting population and food shortages, so when Charles II forced a war rally order this year, the city was full of mourning.

Due to the prevalence of pomp, the data reported to the royal family by various provinces were revised and whitewashed, which made Charles II inevitably overestimate the number of people and combat strength in the territory. He didn't know that at this time, the city of Donkel, which reported in the letter that "there were 4,000 assembled fighters and 520 knights", actually had only about two-thirds of the combat strength.

And these figures are still the result of counting those who have no combat effectiveness at all.

Defending the city of Dunkel was the Viscount Berkeley, and in Harrison's plan, he himself would lead the follow-up troops of about 15,000 men to converge and attack the Temple from the east.

Here, the Viscount of Berkeley waited for the other noble armies to assemble and encircle the Temple from the south, and the two sides attacked together to defeat it with a single blow.

The plan is like this, but it is raining heavily in the south of the kingdom now, and according to the latest news, Viscount Vasana, who should have arrived here the day before yesterday, is still thirty kilometers away, and with the bad degree of the road, it is estimated that it will only arrive at noon tomorrow.

And in all directions, there are more than a dozen viscounts and barons gathered here, and if everyone arrives before setting off, it is estimated that it will take more than twenty days.

Therefore, the Earl of Berkeley knew that it was useless to be anxious, so he stayed comfortably in his Earl's Court every day. And the men of the barons and knights under his command were arranged by him in a camp outside the city because of the scattered organization - he could not let a group of soldiers idle in the city, that would cause chaos, so the task assigned to them every day was to build a camp, level the ground, and fully prepare for the upcoming large army.

Standing on the city wall, the city defense soldier Molik was napping with his wooden stick, in fact, the city defense army was originally issued metal swords. But last year, the orcs looted almost all metal and iron weapons, which made many inconsequential positions remove the quota for the use of metal weapons. Morik doesn't care about this, he lives an extremely monotonous life every day, except for eating and sleeping, he just doesn't have to go hungry for his salary anyway, who cares about anything else?

When it was almost dawn, Polly, a companion who had come to change shifts, kicked him in the ass, and Morrick woke up suddenly, and then looked at Polly sleepily: "Huh, is the time?"

"If I had known I wouldn't come, I think you could sleep for three hours. โ€

Polly quipped, he came is actually equivalent to sleeping in a different place, the two have nothing to talk about, Morrick yawned and stood up, just stretched his waist, and suddenly froze: "What is this sound?"

Before dawn, birds and insects almost crow. Therefore, standing on the city wall, certain sounds can be heard very clearly. Polly frowned and listened, feeling that it was like the sound of some kind of huge creature landing on the ground, dull and regular, and he guessed: "Could it be an earth dragon?"

"It's possible, it's warm, and all these ghosts in the forest are running out and hanging..."

Molik didn't think much of it, accepted this explanation, and then said, "Hey, have you heard of it?" There were dragons here more than ten years ago!"

"Get out of yours, I'm going to sleep, I don't have time to talk to you about this!"

Polly waved his hand for Morik to leave, and no one in the city realized that something was approaching the city except for the two of them.

At five o'clock in the morning, it was just dawning.

The city where Count Harrison was located was called Suwara, and the army he had assembled was also outside the city, and more than 2,000 soldiers and knights had been living in the place known as "Turtleback Camp" for more than ten days, and with the current situation, they all knew that there might be a month before they left the battle.

Because there was no news of the enemy's assembly for a long time, everyone thought that the next battle was to be fought in a fortified battle, so until the Earl's military order was actually issued, these soldiers lived very idle every day.

Suvara had a curfew at night, but the "Turtleback Camp" did not have so many rules, and most importantly - many caravans opened taverns, casinos and even brothls next to the camp in order to make money from this group of soldiers, and they really made a lot of money during this time. This is logically unruly, but Earl Harrison doesn't care about it, and these guys do give the restless big-headed soldiers a place to vent their desires and energy, so they turn a blind eye.

Having just come out of a choking brothel and drinking a little too much, he staggered along the path with his scimitar hanging diagonally from Borda. He had made a small profit in the casino last night, and in the second half of the night he had spent the night in the simple tent with the money, and now he was back at camp because the copper plate had been stuffed into the panties of the girls.
