Based on the headquarters of the independent battalion of the 1,000 Gripen Legion, the recruit corps of 5,000 freemen was expanded, and the mighty march southward was not too many horses, and most of the soldiers could only walk, and the team did not walk fast, but the queue was orderly.

The recruits were divided into a total of 6 battalions in the temporary camp of the new land, of which 500 men were drawn from the original Gripen Regiment's mixed independent battalion to serve as the Commander William's Guards Battalion, and the other 500 were mixed into the recruit sequence and served as captains or battalion officers in the five combat battalions.

Of course, this does not include my fifty giant soldiers in the Giant Tribe, after joining the army, the Wangwang Patriarch of the Dragon Tribe was directly appointed by William as the leader of the Giant Squad, and his subordinates are also composed of Giant Soldiers of their own tribe, due to the particularity of this squad, they will be directly led by the Legion Commander William himself.

A giant is enough to give the enemy a huge shock, and a giant squad of fifty people, as long as it is used properly on the battlefield, may not only shock the enemy, but also become a killer on the battlefield.

But before that.

William had to let these giants, who had eaten and stayed quiet, learn to work hard to carry out the orders of the army.

Both the forest giants and the glacial giants now wore the standard rough armor made of thick bark, and carried a complete piece of wood sharpened by beech trees on their shoulders, and walked among the ranks of the legions, like undulating hills.

The party traveled south along King's Road to the banks of the Mojiang River, where a large road runs through the northern part of the Wolf Grove to the final Hearth, the castle of the Amber family, where an independent battalion of the Gripen Legion is stationed.

If you don't count the Night's Watch fortress, this is the northernmost castle in the Seven Kingdoms.

It is the largest reserve army of the Gripen Legion to assist in the defense of the Night's Watch army on the Great Wall, and at the same time, it also monitors the wild tribes in the new land on the surface, preventing these unruly wild people from leaving the new land without permission and heading south into the heart of the Seven Kingdoms.

When the team of the New Folk Legion set off, Castle Black also sent ravens to the last Hearth, indicating that the New Legion had been ordered to fight south, and at this moment, the Amber family and even the last Hearthvale were looking forward to it.

The Legion will be the third regular legion in the North after the Gripen and the Night's Watch Army, and the only legion authorized by Lynn to recruit natives from the North as recruits under the Legion Commander's command.

The Gripen Legion is the coveted enlistment choice of all Northerners, it is the most important and most accomplished direct subordinate of Lynn, the Lord of the North, but unfortunately the famous King's Division has no plans to recruit externally, although the other Night's Watch Legion is now under the jurisdiction of White Harbor, and can recruit a small number of locals, but unfortunately the Night's Watch Legion has almost fallen to the valley for hundreds of years, even if it wins the important battle of the Desperate Great Wall against the Wild Legion of the Outer Frontier, it has not been able to reverse the stereotypical image of the ordinary people of the Seven Kingdoms on them.

Therefore, the emergence of the Xinmin Legion has become the greatest expectation in the hearts of the people in the north who want to earn meritorious service, deserve glory, and even fiefdoms.

The recruitment of 1,000 local people, although not much, is still enough to ignite the enthusiasm of the people of the north to join the army.

So when the chic golden banner of the Gripen soaring above the Great Wall of Desperation appeared outside the castle, all the members of the Amber family came to the gate of the castle, and the children of their family looked at the strange appearance outside the castle in amazement, but under the order of the soldiers wearing the uniform of the Gripen in the north, the team walked quite like the Xinmin Legion, hoping to see from it that the commander of the Xinmin Legion has guidelines for recruiting new soldiers.

Arrive at the gates of the last Hearthplace Castle.

William, who was riding on a horse, stretched out his arm-covered arm and clenched his fists to signal the team to stop, and several cavalrymen rushed out of his side, waving pennants, and rushed to the rear team to convey orders.

The training along the way had a certain effect, although the recruits were quite vague about the military orders, but one by one, and the former Gripen legionmen who were the captains of their respective squads were scolded with sticks, and the team quickly stopped steadily.

William rolled off his horse.

The family heraldic pattern in front of the castle gate is a brown-haired roaring giant on a fiery red background, wearing animal skins, holding a silver broken chain under the flag, out of a half-old child, the current patriarch of the Amber family, Jon Jon, looked at William who dismounted, and then at the savage recruit instructor Tormond behind William, and slowly stepped forward.

"Commander William, I am Jon Amber, the patriarch of the Amber family. ”

William stepped forward slowly, without a trace of contempt because of the childishness on the other party's face, he nodded solemnly and said: "It's a pleasure to see you again, Patriarch Amber, thank you for your support during the second battalion of the independent battalion of my Gripen Legion, however, I am ordered by the White Harbor Army to lead the Xinmin Legion to fight south if needed, this time I came to get the baggage in the last Hearthplace City, and the Patriarch will send people out, and the legion will not rest in the castle if it is still on the way." ”

Little Jon was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at an elder of the clan behind him, and looked up eagerly and asked, "Commander, isn't your legion going to recruit new soldiers here?" ”

William smiled and glanced at the group of young men behind Jon who were looking forward to it, most of them were wearing light armor and weapons of different lengths around their waists, as if they were fully prepared for the recruitment of recruits for the Recruit Legion.

"That's true, but unfortunately it's not the time yet. ”

Jon looked at William in surprise, "Commander, you're not going to recruit soldiers in the last Hearth. ”

"Of course not, the New Folk Legion still has a thousand recruits, and we will treat any family in the North that is loyal to the Guardian Lord equally, but I plan to arrange the recruitment of recruits in Winterfell, because the number of places is limited, and the training time of the Legion is limited, we hope to complete the recruitment of recruits by the way during the short stay in Winterfell and the training of recruits, speaking of which, I also have to trouble Patriarch Jon to help me inform the various families in the Northland of this news, hoping that their clansmen want to sign up for the army, just go straight to Winterfell, and don't do these meaningless things on the way of the legion。 ”

Jon Jon blinked, then sighed like a little adult, and accepted William's words, "Okay, Commander, I will help you when you say it, I have already arranged for someone to transport the baggage you want." ”

William nodded, turned back to the warhorse, took the reins from the hands of the guards, and waved to everyone in the Amber family: "Thank you for the hospitality of the Amber family, we still have to be ordered to hurry, so we won't delay the hour." ”

"Guards, inform the fifth combat battalion at the end of the team, responsible for escorting the baggage to the rear, and the others will leave immediately!"

After William finished speaking, he pulled the reins and turned his horse's head, and took Tormund and the other lieutenants and the soldiers of the Guards to continue along the direction of King's Road, and hurried away.
