Chapter 172: Kingdom Alliance (Seeking Comfort)
At the level of civilization in the Middle Ages, such a thing as a long-distance march was obviously tantamount to a disaster for an army.
Muddy and rudimentary roads, chaotic armies, the irritability of long movements, and the various caravans and petty traders that take the place of logistics are enough to make the greatest generals a big deal.
And even more disgusting than this is undoubtedly the fact that many armies that only nominally belong to the same group march together for a long distance, which makes the commander want to jump off the building...
Although this planet is a world of magical powers, it is clear that it cannot hide the inevitable flaws of its own stage of civilization.
Therefore, when Dong Xuan took the Black Stone Ridge troops, which were superficially medieval cold weapon level under his hands, but were actually completely cattle with modern high-tech logistics, and it took seven days to arrive at the assembly site at a marching speed that was at least twice the normal one, what he saw was such an unexpected, but seemingly reasonable chaotic scene.
Dirty, noisy, chaotic...
Soldiers fighting, gambling and drinking can be seen almost everywhere, merchants selling small commodities and even setting up food stalls are mixed in, and someone vaguely seems to have seen some women who are suspected of losing their footing, going in and out of the barracks and laughing...
"Huh? What's going on? ”
Suddenly, someone who seemed to see something was going on blinked and looked at it again.
Your sister's!
Obviously, there was still a huge sun overhead, and a woman with heavy makeup had already gone into the woods on the side surrounded by several soldiers, and if you looked closely, there were not a few similar "shaking bushes"?!
This kind of reality of Chiguoguo simply subverts someone's three views...
"Well, I shouldn't have too much hope for these armies who don't even know a word above the ninth floor!"
Dong Xuan, who was choked by disgust, hurriedly glanced at Selena, who was dressed in armor beside him, and "cleaned" his tainted eyes.
This disappointment is entirely due to the fact that the expectations of these troops are too high in his heart.
Originally, someone who was accustomed to the simple soldiers of Blackstone Ridge thought that he would watch a movie similar to the movie "The Lord of the Rings", which has the same magical background, with a spectacular scene of spears like a forest and slaughtering all over the ground.
But I didn't expect that the human army in the state of real cold weapons would actually be so virtuous.
The regular army directly under the kingdom is okay, after all, it is also under the banner of the royal family anyway, at least it seems that the military discipline is strict, neat and orderly, and the logistics are also handled by a large number of people who have been recruited, and the simple wooden camp blocks the small traders and messy personnel who push the carts out of the camp.
But the aristocratic armies stationed on the other side were completely invisible.
Even Dong Xuan, a paramilitary blind, can see a lot of inappropriateness.
First of all, these people didn't even have a proper camp.
The richer ones are done with piles of simple structures like tents or old-fashioned yurts, and there is not even a single obstacle to stop them, while the poorer ones simply let the soldiers cut down some trees and build a few simple shacks!
That's right, even if it's a shack, the kind used in the countryside of the earth for cattle and horses and other livestock.
Even if you compare carefully, they can't even compare to the treatment of cattle and horses, at least I haven't heard of any family that will live in the kind of "dilapidated house" that doesn't even have a nail for their own livestock, and the phoenix blows up and down.
The second point is that they do not seem to have a concept of a fixed logistics system per se.
This kind of thing of long-distance transportation of requisitioned people, except for the wealthy royal family and a few big nobles, is obviously not something that ordinary nobles can afford, and even the royal family is actually a little difficult to do about it, and this is the reason why those small traders and caravans can exist, which can be regarded as a primitive means of logistics support.
But this unreliable logistics, apparently carrying countless "poisons", especially those women and barrels of liquor, is the culprit that makes the already chaotic soldiers even more restless.
Coupled with the lack of training and lack of discipline, many soldiers looked like gangsters in a heap, if it weren't for the fact that he hadn't found cannon fodder like the conscripted militia, Dong Xuan would have thought that he had traveled back to the earth a thousand years ago.
"A bunch of scum!"
Making a disappointed evaluation of these soldiers in the other woodlands in his heart, Dong Xuan, who had completely lost interest, snorted coldly, and then waved his hand, and the heavily armed team behind him suddenly stopped, stood upright with a snap, and instantly entered a static state.
This kind of transformation looks undoubtedly very shocking, with an indescribable and inexplicable majesty.
This is normal,
It can be said that Dong Xuan's team, which is mainly composed of artificial soldiers who have not been transferred, is enough to crush any normal natural life in terms of discipline and will, not to mention this group of natives who have even produced the orthodox concept of military discipline.
The whole team is neatly aligned, and the soldiers who are all wearing the iron bust armor that are made in a hurry can use a rope to make a straight line, although there are only more than a hundred people, but they still have an irrepressible aura of slaughter, and instantly calmed down those guys who were originally cold-eyed and full of abuse, and even the noise nearby seemed to be subconsciously quieted down, and after waiting for a long time, no vendor dared to come forward.
"Which elite is this?"
A pair of eyes hidden in the shadows, looking at this obviously unusual team in surprise.
With such a shocking military momentum, it can be said that it stands out in the entire gathering place, and it instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Obviously, anyone who has actually experienced war will understand how terrible it can be for an army like this and in full arm.
However, when they found out the origin of this elite army that had begun to camp without the slightest noise, everyone was a little dumbfounded.
"Blackstone Ridge? Where is that? ”
It was obviously a name that felt extremely unfamiliar to them.
However, soon information about the Blackstone Baron family began to appear on the tables of some guys with more complete intelligence networks, especially about the fish-man war, which made many people suddenly realize.
"It turns out that the territory that defeated a large group of fishmen is them..."
Obviously, because of the mysterious death of a large number of nobles in the west before, coupled with the fish-man war that was publicized by the residents, Dong Xuan, the new Baron Blackstone who was completely excluded from the mainstream, was in the presence of many well-intentioned people. It's still a little bit famous.
Especially when showing such an elite army, many people have to start to face up to this lucky person who was lucky enough to get the title from the sky.
"This Baron Blackstone seems to have a bit of a wrist..."
Under this kind of thinking, soon, someone from Dong Xuan came to the door. (To be continued.) )
