Chapter 305: Heading South
This choice was finally put into the hands of the Empire, and this can be regarded as an explanation that the two of them can give to the Lucy Figgs family and themselves after thinking about it for a few days.
If the empire sends itself to go, then go, and if it doesn't let itself go, let some of the soldiers accompany the people who are dispatched, which can be regarded as a contribution to this division.
The letter was waxed and had not yet been opened.
Lias lifted the wax mark with her hand.
Military letters are very short, just a few lines, probably to facilitate those grumpy old buddies to read, generally people who can become generals are not very good-tempered, even if they are very good, they will slowly become irritable, these days Wang Chu found that Lai Lias is getting stronger and stronger, and he doesn't know which soldier is angry.
Read the letter in ten lines at a glance.
"What did it say? What is the arrangement of the Empire. Lucia asked anxiously.
Because Lias didn't show Lucia any more of these words, she couldn't read them less.
"Emperor**...... Let's go together. Lias said slowly, word by word.
Wang Chu felt as if she was relieved, and the things that had been hanging for many days had finally been arranged, and it seemed that it was still what she hoped for.
"Not only us, but the Empire has also sent the Paladins and the Wizards Guild and the Cathedral together this time, and all the four major institutions of the Empire have been dispatched. ”
This Wang Chu didn't expect that it seemed that the information they received might be even worse than he expected, so he would transfer so many people over.
"Let's go together?" asked Lucia.
"Well, but I didn't say who it was, this is also the best way for the empire to avoid the news leaking out and being seen by those who care, only the person who received the letter knows that he was arranged. Lias explained.
The two nodded understandingly.
"So the people from the military department only arranged for you. ”
"Hmm...... It should be, usually not national wars will not use marshals them, after all, their goals are too big, and people have heard their names everywhere they go, and there will not be many arrangements for the four major institutions of the empire to dispatch the military department at the same time, and there are also subordinate military departments in the south, and Aren't Ian already in the past. ”
It is said that on the day he received the news, Ain gathered all his forces and hurried to the south the next day.
I almost forgot about it, the commander-in-chief.
In terms of time, if he had done it quickly, he would have already made it to the next city.
"The letter said that we would have three days to prepare, and then on the fourth day we would set out from the north gate to the south. Lias concluded.
Even the time and the way of departure have been arranged, so are they still going in batches?
Just three days, neither long nor short, both of them had to prepare some necessary things to bring, and old Gray knew that the two family masters were leaving, so he stayed up late to prepare some dry food that could be eaten on the road and took them with them.
Of course, there is no need to bring food alone when the military department travels, but old Gray still insists that those big pot rice generals may not be used to eating, so they still bring a little to make their own food, and the one who likes to add food on weekdays is herself, and Lias also brought some more.
After this period of time, all the troops in Lias's hands have almost reached seven or eight thousand, although they are still a little short of the number of 10,000 people, but they are already good, and they have so many subordinates when they lead troops for the first time.
More than when Edmund led an expedition into the desert.
In these two days, she let her first squad leader Nikos have all the supplies, because it is not a time of war, and there are many cities in the south of the empire, and the privilege of the army is that it can buy supplies in all cities without cost, and the empire will eventually pay for them.
However, according to Nikos's report after the organization, there was no problem with all the troops and materials, except for a few cooks who were missing the cooking on the road, and they only had a day to report this problem now.
Lias looked a little angry.
"Then just find a few, isn't the empire building new commercial areas during this time, those that haven't been built, just find a few skilled people. ”
"What about the wages. ”
"Just give it to him as it should be, remember to ask a few bold, otherwise you will be weak when you meet a dead person. Lias commanded that the south was still suffering from flooding lately, and that there would inevitably be deaths.
"Yes, General. ”
"Really, it's only at this time to report such a thing, I used to see her very clever ......" After Nikos left, Lias complained dissatisfiedly.
Wang Chu watched and laughed from the sidelines.
For the foreseeable future, Lias is also about to become a grumpy old brother, no, old sister.
"You're still laughing, Cam. You don't have to manage the military, you don't know that managing so many people gives you a headache every day. ”
Of course I don't know, I'm not a general, Wang Chu continued to laugh.
..............................
Until the morning of the third day, after the team assembled outside the emperor's ** department, they set off towards the north gate.
The rainy season, which had lasted for a month, was no longer a day of rain, although it was still cloudy, but it was good news that there was no rain, otherwise the march would have been difficult.
The north gate of the empire is the gate that was bypassed when I came from Hajar City, which is the closest to the emperor's ** department, and it is a special passage, so there are very few merchants and pedestrians, and most of them are imperial soldiers.
Seeing the troops marching, the soldiers who were still standing guard saluted in the direction of Lias.
Wearing the armor of the guard knight, he rode at the front, Lucia and Nikos accompanied each other, and Wang Chu was still sleeping on the horse's head, and he got up early every time he marched, especially Lias got up before dawn to prepare like a chicken.
I don't have anything to bring, just continue to sleep and listen to the busy movement in my ears, anyway, in the end Lias will take herself with her.
The sound of the horse's hooves made Wang Chu gradually wake up.
Look around, you have walked out of the north gate of the empire, and you are walking halfway up the mountain.
There is also a little impression, this is the road led by the royal cavalry when I came to the imperial capital, and from here you can just see the situation of most of the imperial capital, canals, houses and airships flying in the sky...... Lias walked at the front and suddenly stopped.
"Lucia, do you remember? ”
"Well, that's where we went to the imperial capital when we came. ”
Walking on the same road is no longer the same identity at this time, and both of them may have feelings in their hearts.
Wang Chu also looked over, his ears moved unconsciously, and Lias found that she had woken up.
"Cam, wake up, look at where we came from in the first place. ”
Look, I've been watching!
