Chapter 324: Aidak Barracks
Eastern part of the Basharan Empire.
Sean had never been to the east, and had often listened to the chatter of the travelers in the town, and later occasionally heard him talk about it when he played chess with the head of the Mercenary Guild.
Anyway, what is the head of the mercenary guild in the small town of Telemian?
After more than a year, Sean found that some of the names had become more and more blurred in his memory, probably just remembering the days when they played chess and drank tea together, and the other party also said some things about the eastern part of the empire.
This area already borders the Gobi and shares the same border with the Oro region...... However, the difference is that the border here is more inhospitable, and there is at least one city on the opposite side of the city of Oro, and this border is not only long, but there are no countries or cities next door.
In the middle of nowhere, there is a great desert.
"Where are we going now?" Sean asked Mel Susa.
"We have a camp in the far east, which is the base of our team, and we will go there for a few days to rest for a few days and wait for the battle report from the front to come...... What do you think? Your Royal Highness the Prince. Probably accustomed to the way of giving orders, Mel Susa said a bunch of plans before noticing that the person in front of her had a higher status, and hurriedly asked Sean about his plans.
However, even if you ask Sean, you don't know.
I don't know the terrain in the east, including the current situation of Jiagong's troops, as for the way back to the city, of course, I still have to listen to the other party.
"Then follow your wishes. Sean could only say.
"This area has reached the eastern part of the Basharan Empire?"
"Yes, there were still residents living in this area, because many people were forced to move south after the war began...... There were only a few residents left nearby, and our camp was probably on the other side of the mountain. Pointing to the mountain peaks in the distance.
Because of its proximity to the Gobi, the mountains in this area do not have the lush visual sense of the central and southern regions, and most of them are bare.
Stone Mountain.
Occasionally, some vegetation can be seen, or it is a bare stone mountain wall.
"And what about our supplies?" Sean suddenly asked again.
The Gobi environment is very poor, and an army stationed here is simply consuming lives...... Sean himself has raised soldiers, and the consumption is not ordinarily large, only tens of thousands of people are spending money every day, if there are 100,000 stationed in it, I don't know what will happen, and besides, he still carries so many giant beasts.
"We don't have a lot of troops stationed here, estimated at less than 10,000 people...... The main thing is to prevent the back road from being intercepted. Melsusa said.
"Watch your body down there, Your Highness the Prince. ”
Before Sean could speak, the other party continued, and the height of the pterosaur tilted instantly, and the whole person slid forward under gravity.
As early as more than a year, Qian Sean spent half a month learning to ride a horse, and now it is estimated that it will take time to get used to this huge flying beast.
Drop in height ~
You can see a little bit of what is going on below.
From top to bottom, it is estimated that the height is nearly a kilometer, which is about the same as the height of the airship, but the pterodactyl does not have a guardrail like an airship, so Sean can only grasp the saddle probe on the seat and look out.
The pastures and villages have long been deserted, and the occasional smoke-smoking houses can be seen, presumably the ones Melsusa said were not able to leave, but even if they were able to live here, the conditions were very difficult.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, be careful, we are about to land. ”
Pterodactyls flew fast......
It's only a matter of ten minutes to walk through a few peaks, which is enough to walk for a day or two.
Skirting the barren mountains, outside a col, Sean finally saw the highland watchtower used for defense......
"Over there?"
"Yes, we have stationed a group of troops here to wait for orders, and we didn't expect to be able to welcome the arrival of the prince today. Mel Susa [excited!] said.
After a few days of getting along, Sean understands that the royal family in the Edak region has the highest honor and status, and ordinary people will be very excited even if they mention it, almost worshipping like a star, so they will often kneel to themselves.
This phenomenon is not found among the nobles of the Basalan Empire, and only in special circumstances will there be a requirement to kneel and salute......
Approaching the camp, the soldiers there had already been at the place where the pterodactyl was preparing for its whereabouts, and were holding conspicuous flags to command the air, and at the same time, Sean also saw a huge bull's head five or six meters tall in the camp.
Split-hoofed cattle.
Also called the Iron Hoof Cow!
It was used as a siege weapon by Jagon, with thick bones on its back, which were difficult for artillery and magic to penetrate, and many sharp horns on its head, which were usually fastened by the soldiers of Edak.
These two quickly rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and it is estimated that the city wall will end here.
At this moment, Sean was a little glad that the Desert Golden Regiment did not carry this kind of beast at the beginning, otherwise he didn't know if his artillery fire was useless, and if he really went on a rampage, he probably wouldn't be able to stop it.
"That's the Split-Hoofed Cow. ”
"Yes, it is the siege weapon of our army, and it is a very precious beast. This time we only brought 8 of them, and one of them was wounded in the war, so I don't know what happened to us on the front line!"
The wyvern had just landed, and before he could get down, Sean saw a group of people kneeling in the direction of the camp.
It's not an ordinary kneeling, it's the kind of five-body throwing to the ground without raising your head......
"What is this?"
"I have told them in advance that His Royal Highness the Prince is coming, so this is to greet you. A few people next to him said.
"All right, get up, all of you. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince has to walk over before they can get up......"
Belch......
There are so many rules.
Okay, all right.
Following the customs, Sean walked to the big tent in the center of the camp under the guidance of Mel Susa and Bentari, and the soldiers behind him dared to raise their heads slowly.
There are not a few hints in the field of vision in front of me [stared at......] of messages.
These people really don't dare to look up at all.
When I came to the camp, I would wait here for news from the front line for the next few days, just in time for Sean to familiarize himself with the customs and customs of different regions.
"Are there any books in the camp?"
"Your Royal Highness the Prince wants to read?" Mel Susa asked.
"Preferably a ...... from Adak's side"
"Then I'll look for ......" After thinking about it, I really don't know if there is one in this camp.
"The best thing to do is bring me the strategic map you used, and by the way, ask a person in charge to tell me about the current situation in the army. ”
The two commanders glanced at each other and understood that Sean was preparing to review the troops, and was busy preparing on the spot.
