In the early morning of the next day, Luo Ming first sent two people to take dry food and ride forward, eating and walking.

Then they began to arrange for the army to make fires to eat, and to clean up the camp.

Jacob felt strange, so he said to Luo Ming, "Excuse me, what are the two people you just sent going to do?"

"Ah, those two. Luo Ming said with a smile, "In order to facilitate the march, I have set up beacon towers on several main roads near my territory.

Send someone there to light a fire, and in half an hour you can make the column of smoke rise high and be visible from ten kilometers away. ”

He turned and waved in the direction of the allies' territory, "In the letter I sent to my allies yesterday, I roughly wrote where they would join our army, but words alone are not reliable enough to describe it.

To be on the safe side, light the beacon as a signpost to reduce the risk of them being late and getting lost. ”

Originally, if a coalition was to be formed, it should have been the allies who brought all the troops to the Schönbrunn Collar and then set out on the road after the Merbrunn Collar was reorganized.

Doing so now saves at least half a day.

And another equally important thing, since Jacob has not yet discovered it, Luo Ming does not mean to popularize science.

Those were the secret warehouses that were built at the same time as the beacon.

Some of the grain and other baggage were stored in the warehouse, and a pit was dug in the ground, and a little gunpowder and shells were secretly buried.

When marching, supplies can be obtained directly from secret warehouses on the road, which also reduces the pressure on logistics.

Even if the food and gunpowder that were originally carried were exhausted, they could find the nearest secret warehouse and rely on it for an extra day or two.

Wait for a time of peace when there is no war, and then slowly send people to fill the secret warehouse with supplies.

Each of these two measures is an important guarantee for the speed of Luo Ming's soldiers.

Half an hour later, the whole army marched forward, and after walking for less than an hour, it finally joined up with the army of the allies.

Luo Ming waited at the beacon tower for an hour, and the allies' troops were all in order, and it took another fifteen minutes to sort out the formation, and the huge procession of 1,200 men continued to advance in an orderly manner.

Accompanied by the sound of the snare drum, their footsteps almost all stepped on the same beat, and thousands of people were coordinated like a millipede.

The discipline of this army and the excellent marching ability made Jacob fascinated to watch.

=============================

The next day, at 10 a.m., Lockin arrived in the territory of the county of Mount Conle.

There, already, an open space had been vacated for his army to camp. A lot of food, wine and meat, as well as some spare houses, were also prepared. Even livestock have a lot of forage.

At least enough for his entire army to consume for three days.

For Earl, this is definitely not a small expense.

If it was just the earl himself who invited Luo Ming to come, he would definitely not have done such a thoughtful job, and it is estimated that this old man would still like to snub Luo Ming.

But this time, it was the Inquisition Court that invited Luo Ming to come.

In front of the court, the earl, who has always prided himself on being the only one in the county, is much more honest, and now he can only obey the overall situation.

Before losing troops, he can say "I am the big picture". Anyway, what he had to deal with was just a group of monsters with an IQ similar to that of a beast, and his own strength was more than enough.

But now, in the face of the crisis of the collusion between the cultists and the monsters, after the Earl lost his troops, his own military strength was not sure that he could safely solve this matter, so it was imperative to form an alliance.

As a result, the Inquisition, which was able to coordinate the formation of the coalition forces in the center, temporarily became an overall situation that no one could stop.

At such a critical moment, the Inquisition will not care about your status in the world, and everything will be based on strength and reliability first.

Luo Ming first became famous by slaying the incarnation of the cultist swordsman and the Great Demon, and his determination in fighting evil is unquestionable.

And his army was originally the second strongest in the county. Now the Count has lost a lot of elite soldiers, and he seems to be about the same.

In this case, Luo Ming can be said to be an indispensable figure for the formation of the coalition army. Without his joining, this matter will be half lost.

At the request of the Inquisition, the Count could only pinch his nose and take out grain, grass, wine and meat to entertain Luo Ming and his army.

Although he became a pivotal figure in the formation of this coalition, Luo Ming did not rush to get complacent.

The so-called hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, the earl is not in a slump now, although he has lost more than a hundred elites, but he still has hundreds of remaining elites, in fact, it is still enough to compete with Luo Ming.

Since there is not much difference in the hard power of the two sides, and it is impossible to fight a civil war for the time being, they must compete within the framework of peaceful coexistence.

At this time, the most important thing is to enlist the help of others, increase allies, and unite the front.

The famous words of a certain dynasty Taizu: Politics is to make more people who support us and fewer people who oppose us!

The words are not rough, Luo Ming thinks so.

Therefore, no matter what Luo Ming thinks in his heart, on the surface, he must act like being kind to others.

Humble, honest, courageous, upright, gentle, generous......

In this way, the people who are willing to make friends with him will always be the majority.

Even those who hate him can only call him a hypocrite at most, and they can't find too many stains to attack him.

Of course, modesty does not mean doing nothing - when he came here, Luo Ming stopped and repaired for half an hour in advance, and then let the whole army sing the military song in the fullest spirit, and ran into the earl's territory in unison.

The little nobles who were originally peeping from the side all saw their eyes wide, and their mouths were so wide that they could barely close them.

Afterwards, I heard that an unlucky ghost was shocked by this momentum, and subconsciously took a step back, forgetting that he was standing on a big rock...... As a result, his foot slipped and he fell directly and his head broke and he was bleeding.

Show force, sometimes you don't use real knives and guns, as long as you show a little edge, you can deter those who know how to do it.

After a proper demonstration, Luo Ming instructed his subordinates to keep to themselves, and if they encountered any provocations, they should immediately report them to him and deal with them himself.

And he went to the Count's castle to meet with the big men who had formed the coalition this time.

Of course, he had a smile like a spring breeze on his face, and thanks to the help of Aya's living library, he was able to be polite in his every move, and even many of the etiquettes were rare ancient etiquette.

Even the earl, when he first saw him, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Many people who hadn't seen him before had a good first impression of him — and they even began to wonder if the rumors they had heard about Lomin had been splashed with sewage. 8)
