Act 294 Legion of the Blood Keep
"Bloodkeep Legion?"
Seeing Bai Gang's dazed face, Dimosen immediately explained.
It turned out that due to the fierce offensive of the Psychic Saint Tower in the Echo Canyon, even the defense line of the Blood Fortress, which claimed to never fall, was in danger.
It is obvious that the power of the Black Rock Kingdom alone cannot fight against the endless undead, and letters of help are sent to other kingdoms one after another.
Under the threat of the undead, the seven southern human kingdoms have reached an agreement:
Because only the Black Rock Kingdom is facing the undead soldiers, but the power of one country alone cannot resist the undead, so the remaining six countries should help the Black Rock Kingdom as much as possible.
In addition to the large amount of money and food aid provided every year, the elite of the Seven Kingdoms formed a coalition army to garrison the Bloodkeep defense, and the name of this elite legion is the "Bloodkeep Legion".
Because the death rate of the Blood Fort front is too high, the Blood Fort Legion implements a rotation system, and the service period of the legionnaires is one year, and after one year, a new rotating unit will arrive to replace the original personnel.
Of course, this replacement is not a big change at the same time, and the rotation time of each country is different, so as to ensure that the Blood Fort battle line maintains a reasonable ratio of new and old troops at all times.
In order to ensure that the blood castle legion is the most elite, the seven kingdoms have promulgated a large number of regulations.
For example, civilians can only be eligible for knighthoods after serving in the Bloodcastle Legion, knights must also serve in the Bloodkeep Legion if they want to become true knights, and even the heirs of military nobles who want to inherit the title also need to serve in the Bloodcastle Legion!
And for those who are strong, if they are lucky enough to be able to make meritorious contributions in the meat grinder of the Blood Castle, then it almost means that they will be promoted to the rank of knight after returning to China!
The rich rewards attracted a large number of powerful and powerful people to join the Blood Castle Legion, and those second-generation children who were not strong enough to eat and wait for death were unwilling to go to the Blood Castle to die even if they were faced with the situation of not being able to inherit the title, which ensured the extremely high quality of the soldiers on the front line of Echo Canyon.
The delivery deadline set by those customers who ordered the armor is actually the time when the recruits of the White Sands Kingdom will go on rotation before the departure of the Bloodkeep Legion this year.
This is also a tradition in the White Sands Kingdom, and the arms market is always lively every time the Bloodkeep Legion rotates.
Although the military will provide standard armor for legionnaires, in the generally wealthy kingdom of White Sands, the kind of standard armor that is not very satisfactory in terms of defense and comfort is not popular, so the military has acquiesced to the fact that soldiers prepare armor for themselves privately, as long as the cape and heraldic cover are still standard for the legion.
Bai Gang thought for a moment and said to Cao Yu, "How about we go to the Black Rock Kingdom with this army?" It happened to be around the same time as our scheduled trip. ”
Cao Yu calculated the time, nodded and said: "It should be no problem, let's wait a few more days, just happen to learn about the situation of the Blood Castle Legion, I'll ask Colonel Liu's opinion, I think he will agree, after all, the Blood Castle Legion has a special status in the Black Rock Kingdom, and you may be able to get some useful information from them." ”
This time they came to the Seven Great Human Kingdoms in the South, and in addition to establishing contact and collecting information and preparing for the preliminary work of port construction, the most important thing was to find out the attitude of the Black Rock Kingdom towards them.
As a country that guards the communication line between the Principality of Black Thorn and the Seven Kingdoms of the South, the subtle attitude of the Black Rock Kingdom makes the base very passive.
There are many speculations about the strange attitude of the Black Rock Kingdom, but these speculations need to be investigated before they can be finalized, and only after the reasons are clarified can the base take targeted measures to resolve this passivity.
Therefore, according to the scheduled itinerary, after Bai Gang and they gained a foothold in the White Sand Kingdom, their next stop was the Black Rock Kingdom.
In the following days, Baigang's daily life became an Anglian aristocratic life of eating, drinking, and dancing.
Whether it is the construction of the new port or the sales of various products, there are special personnel in charge, and there is no task in Baisha after Baigang completes the line and bridge.
Just a few days before the rotation of the White Sands Kingdom's Blood Fort Legion was about to set off, an acquaintance suddenly came to Bai Gang's temporary mansion.
Stamford, the third prince of the Black Rock Kingdom, was the messenger who represented the Black Rock Kingdom at the wedding.
Unlike the last time they met, this time the third prince Stamford wore a burgundy tight-fitting uniform, with leather riding boots on his feet and a short cloak on the back to make the whole person look heroic, and the intricate tassel decoration on the clothes was quite a bit of the military uniform style of the European black powder period.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be the officer uniform of the Blood Keep Legion.
Seeing the confusion in Bai Gang's eyes, the third prince Stamford explained in a flat tone.
"I'm not here as the third prince of the Black Rock Kingdom this time, now I'm representing the Blood Castle Legion," he said, Stamford put his right hand into a fist flat on his chest, and gave a Blood Fort Legion salute to White Steel, "Stamford, the deputy flag captain of the Black Feather Banner Team to which the Blood Fort Legion belongs. ”
I didn't expect this third prince to be a member of the Blood Castle Legion! And it's actually a deputy flag captain!
During this time, Bai Gang also inquired about the Blood Castle Legion, and knew that the Blood Castle Legion was divided into five flag teams.
Among them, the Rock Banner Team has the largest number and is responsible for the garrison of various strongholds.
The roulette flag team is responsible for the supply and transfer work in the rear, which is the safest.
The Blood Skull Banner Team is a death squad responsible for launching a counter-charge at a critical moment, with the smallest number of people, but no one dares to mess with it, because the people inside are either fanatics or death row prisoners, and the last thing they care about is their own lives.
Both the Rose Banner and the Black Feather Banner are flag teams that carry out missions outside of the Blood Castle, with the Rose Banner being in charge of field operations and the Black Feather Banner being in charge of intelligence reconnaissance.
Each flag team has a flag captain and three to five deputy flag captains, and Stamford, as the deputy flag captain of the Black Feather Flag team, can be regarded as the top of the Blood Keep Legion.
Stamford continued: "I came to the White Sands Kingdom this time to act as a liaison officer and rotate troops, and as soon as I arrived at the camp, I heard that Your Majesty was planning to go to the Blood Fort with us, so I came to confirm. ”
It turned out to be for this.
Bai Gang nodded: "It is true that there is such a plan, I wonder if the captain of the Stamford Flag agrees?" ”
Adhering to the consistent tradition of the Chinese people, in the absence of the main flag captain, Bai Gang removed the word "deputy" from Stamford.
"Of course, it would be a privilege to have a king with us, and I am sure it will be a pleasant journey."
