After coming out of the Brilliant Fortress, you will soon see a wide river, the Sola River, one of the few mother rivers in Adelaide. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Arnold, a heroic man, was walking at the front of the line on a war horse. Scouts came galloping from the front and back of the group, reporting to Arnold about the situation around the group, and after reporting back, they roared off to continue their investigation, and so on.

Arnold listened carefully, as an earthling from another world who had lived in the Age of Hot Weapons, he was ignorant of the marching formations of the Age of Cold Weapons.

Some of the basic marching knowledge he knew, which he had learned from the military books sent to him by the military headquarters, was crude and had not been practiced at all.

So he is now in a panic, and along the way, he tries to speak as little as possible, observe more, and think more. It's okay to listen to the opinions of the three captains under him. Try not to show yourself. so as not to affect the prestige that he has built up with great difficulty.

Fortunately, there are many new soldiers in this group, and after defeating Lerwick, he successfully subdued Fergordon, Myers and others.

And the soldiers knew that their sergeant major was very powerful, so Arnold's command was a little jerky, but no one felt wrong.

On his side is Ifgar, who was sent by the military department to be a mage with the army, to investigate a small town in a location, he can't do it without a knowledgeable magician, his strength is not weak, and he happens to be equivalent to the current Arnold, a great magician in the middle of the third order.

Ivgar had acted with Arnold because of orders from the military department, and he did not have a good opinion of them.

As soon as he got on the road, he took out the magic book he carried with him from his waist bag and read it, and he was fascinated by this look. The horses carried him all the way, he was so immersed in magical knowledge that he had little to do with the changes in the outside world.

It was no longer an isolated case for a magician to look down on a melee warrior, Arnold just smiled, not careless, as long as the other party did not interfere with his orders.

Although Ivgar is not cold to Arnold, he cannot be taken lightly.

Behind Ifgar were the three most powerful shield warriors in the team of hundreds of people, they were all high-level warriors, their strength had reached the early stage of the third order, and their mission was to protect Ifgar from harm at a critical moment, so that he could cast spells without distraction.

After that, there are still shield warriors, including the three who protect Ifgar. There were twenty people in total, and these people could be attacked and defended. The main mission is to defend the army from damage and charge and kill the enemy when needed.

The shield warriors were followed by the heavy sword warriors, there were also twenty people, they attacked very sharply, a heavy sword warrior, with all his strength, could cut a war horse without armor directly into two pieces, they were the backbone of the charge and attack.

In the middle of the team is the crossbowman, which is the unique configuration of the squadron leader, there are only seven people, equipped with a special rapid-fire steel crossbow, which can penetrate the steel armor within ten steps, and can shoot ten arrows in a row, and seven people can fire a salvo, which can form a dense network of arrows like rain in a short time, which is extremely terrifying.

Originally, the number of a brigade was 500 people, but due to the lack of numbers in the seventh battalion, the first and second brigades had only 330 people, and the third brigade was also a scout brigade, which currently has only 40 people.

A squadron is 100 people, a squad is ten.

This is Arnold's ace attacking force. Roarnold asked himself how hard it would be for him not to get hurt in the face of such an attack.

Then there were the archers, who were armed with military steel recurve bows, three of whom were sniper archers, and who fired almost every 100 shots within 200 meters.

A brigade with three sniper archers was the preserve of the centurion.

And the scouts who were looking for news, who rode the best stamina and fastest horses, and who had all dispersed now.

In the end, there were ten orderlies, who basically did not participate in the battle, and were responsible for transporting supplies and the like, and they brought two additional horses in addition to their own horses, and the horses were loaded with all kinds of marching supplies. They were Pace's men.

This time, their team only had 700 people, and they were on a mission in Adelaide, so they could temporarily go to nearby towns to obtain military supplies, so there was little logistical pressure.

Black Rock Town is deep in the north of the wetland, and it is about a hundred kilometers away in a straight line, but no one wants to go directly to the dangerous wetland, so their marching route is to first go north along the wasteland, go around a small circle, and finally turn back from the northeast and enter Black Rock Town.

As a result, they will only experience a short stretch of wetlands, about 20 kilometers away, and the wetlands to the north are drier and safer.

Of course, the distance they have to walk is greatly increased, and after calculation, it should be nearly 200 kilometers, and it will take about three days.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and a scout in front of him ran back and reported: "Sir, the five miles ahead is the shoal of the Sola River." ”

Arnold commanded, "Go ahead and camp by the river!"

The soldiers agreed with a bang, and quickened up slightly, and arrived at their destination in ten minutes, Arnold chose a place with a good view, far from the woods, as the book of war said, as a temporary camp.

"Frgdon, your team, go cut down and make wood thorns. ”

"Miles, your team is digging a trench around the camp, two meters deep and two meters wide. ”

"Hunter, Sister Jing in charge. ”

"Pace, start preparing the meal. ”

The regular army was well-trained, and the camps were specially trained and had established laws, and Arnold only did it step by step.

In about an hour, a decent camp was set up, and a large bonfire was lit in the middle of the camp, on which the orderlies set up a cauldron in which dry food was boiled. The charcoal in the fire also roasted all kinds of knick-knacks, such as voles, gray sparrows, wild potato roots, etc., which were picked up by the soldiers in the surrounding fields in their busy hours, although there were not many things, but they were also a great pleasure in the march.

The great magician of Ivgar had been riding his horse for a long time, and he was already tired, and when he saw the rest, he hurriedly dismounted.

"How do you feel, Ifgar?" Arnold asked with concern when he saw Ifgar dismount, although the two sides did not like each other, although he was the commander of an army, he had to suppress other voices, and could only try to make contact.

"It's ok. Ivgar smiled slightly, looked around, it was a meadow, hesitated, found a slightly clean place, and sat down.

He is not a squeamish academy mage who doesn't know anything, he has had a military life, and some hardships have already been suffered. Seeing Arnold's overtures, he also responded politely.

When Arnold saw that he was fine, he immediately turned around and went about his business. He was the commander, he was looking for him for everything, he was very busy, but every moment he was gaining new knowledge, and Arnold was very satisfied with this sense of fulfillment.
