Chapter 299: The Storm is Coming
The clouds overlap in the sky, the white is mixed with the pure blue, the clear sunlight shines through the gap, reflecting the long dragon-like army below, the cold battle flag is raised in the wind, the sound of iron armor rubbing is connected into a sound tide, the soldiers on the war horses have cold and hard faces, do not say a word, and their bodies exude a majestic momentum.
When passing through the Red-bellied Eagle Leader and the Yurada Domain, Casio forcibly confiscated the local war horses, which now means that everyone has a means of transportation, on the one hand, in order to carry more food, and the heavy infantry is even equipped with a horse camel.
In front of the team was led by Charon, Casio and Magnus were half a horse behind, and then there was a whole group of strong exhaust engine fluctuations, and the sturdy flag bearers, successive battles and victories made the army more fierce, and the first Gavin army to join the most obvious transformation in spirit, temperament and style were several levels more fierce than the original.
Now the number of affiliated armies is close to 60,000, which is not much different from the number of Del's army, and it is the elite drawn from the three territories, and if you don't consider the big knight factor and the thermal weapon factor, the average level of these subordinate armies is one or two points worse.
The power of the affiliated army is gradually increasing, but Charon is not worried, the grassroots of these auxiliary armies will be broken up and reorganized, and the officer and general class will slowly be replaced by people who are willing to cooperate with the Del family, as for those who are resistant, as long as there is no change, they will not be secretly cleaned up, of course, they cannot take power. Deliberate propaganda, generous welfare appeasement, and absolute force suppression, these subordinate armies have never disobeyed orders, and they have implemented orders thoroughly.
For the obedient subordinates, the Del family is no longer as harsh as at the beginning, the spoils collected after the city is broken, the affiliated army is allowed to intercept a part, according to the military merits of the individual, there are also other rewards, even if it is not as rich as the direct army, it is enough to make the eyes of these flying wing soldiers who have been deducted from basic food and salary before, which is probably the reason why they are willing to be driven.
"Magnus, the power of the Great Knight is a turbulent river, and if you can't control it freely, not only will you not be able to exert your strongest combat power, but you will also have flaws in battle. ”
Sensing the surging qi behind him, Charon's eyelids lifted slightly, and the surrounding air shook violently, pressing Magnus's overflowing power back into the opponent's body with his colossal momentum.
Magnus's body trembled slightly, and after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his right fist on his chest and saluted, and said sincerely: "Thank you for the help of the family master, the strength of this great knight is completely different from the knight level, and it is really difficult to control." ”
"Adaptation can consolidate stability for a while, and General Magnus doesn't need to worry too much. Casio on the side chuckled indifferently, his eyes were bright, "Old general, you are promoted by accumulation, unlike people like me who take shortcuts, there is still a lot of room for growth in strength in the future, and the power of the Del family will be even more prosperous at that time!"
In the process of charging and fighting with the red-bellied eagle cavalry, Magnus, who had accumulated a lot of money, finally stepped into the realm of the great knight with one foot, and officially promoted after the retreat of the Yurada leader, and after signing a contract with Charon without thinking about how long, he became the seventh great knight of the Del family.
It was at that time that Casio, who was watching the ceremony, found out that although the head of the family controlled the Black Ring, he did not use it at all, the twenty-two-year-old mid-level knight, he was shocked at first, and then his heart trembled with excitement, thinking about the original genius Odin who made the Del family from an unknown small family to a top family, becoming the ruler of the south of Thors, and what kind of peak Charon would lead them to with an unlimited future, it is really unimaginable.
He originally thought that the black ring was damaged, and it was more suitable for the head of the family to lie dormant for a period of time, but now he knew that the head of the family had secretly repaired the black ring intact, and his own strength was also very strong, so his previous concerns about the expedition disappeared completely, and he even felt that the head of the family was besieged by all the big knights of the flying wing at this time, and he could also ensure that he was safe and sound, after all, the flying wing did not have a peak rank of great knights.
In the evening, as the army entered the west coast, the first thing that caught their eye was the scorched plantations, the scattered refugees, and the fire burning in the distant town, the bright orange red of which was like a demon.
As far as the eye could see, the vast land in the distance was also filled with the same black smoke, and it was the first time they had encountered such a strong wall, which also showed that the enemy they were about to face this time was completely different from the previous ones.
Seeing the overwhelming arrival of the army, there are still poor people who are unwilling to leave, numb and desperate to kneel in place, not yet recovering from the blow of losing their homes and everything.
Casio and Magnus have experienced countless wars, and their sense of smell is very keen, coupled with the scout's report, the expressions of the two of them immediately became solemn, "Lord of the family, it is rumored that there are many nobles on the West Coast, and the forces are complex and opposed, but it is very unreasonable to respond to our arrival and evacuate so quickly and decisively and in an orderly manner. ”
"Well, the enemy we are about to fight this time is not a scattered mess, but a complete and powerful organization, don't be negligent. ”
Charon thought of what Benedict said about the United Chamber of Commerce, on the surface the nobles were only united for profit, but the situation of the intelligence department being frustrated everywhere made him feel a little strange, and the scene in front of him made him completely convinced that either the four largest families secretly ruled the entire West Coast, or the local nobles were all manipulated by some force.
"No matter how the other side prepares, our operational objectives are clear, we must eliminate all threats and turn the area around the port into a safe zone. Find a place to camp and rest, give the refugees some food, and let them leave. ”
"Yes, my lord!" Casio and the two of them clenched their fists and turned their horses around to arrange matters.
The headquarters was set up on the higher slopes, and the regimental divisions were in all directions, tents sprung up in groups, trenches were dug in the outer areas as a simple precaution, wooden sentry posts were built around them, and the soldiers on guard were equipped with new lookout glasses.
With the exception of the scouts and the patrolling defenses, the rest of the soldiers were able to rest. Although the physical fitness of long-term training is far comparable to that of war horses, the soldiers will also feel tired from the long journey from 5 a.m. to noon with heavy armor and weapons on their backs.
The soldiers placed their horses in a temporarily fenced horse farm, received a cart of forage from the logistics department, and then returned to the tents of their respective groups, unloaded some of the non-essential equipment, and some of them lay down directly in the tents to rest, while others went outside to drink water and take out bread and dry food to pad their stomachs.
Casio excluded two cavalry teams, one was responsible for delivering food to the refugees for two days, and by the way, he inquired about the situation of the nobles before and after the town was burned down, of course, these people who did not want to leave at all were basically at the bottom, they didn't know much, and the clues they could get were relatively trivial, and they still needed to be summarized and reorganized, which may not be able to play a role, and it can only be said that talk is better than nothing.
The other, much larger, escorted hundreds of logistical wagons, with barrels taller than a human being prepared to hold water. It has to be said that the greater the number of troops, the greater the logistical pressure, and the daily water alone is a huge amount, and this team transporting water cannot complete the task without going seven or eight times.
They were accompanied by paramedics in white uniforms, who were not only responsible for treating the wounded, but also for surveying the water for poison and removing toxins from the water.
Charon stood alone on the high slope, looking down at the huge military camp below, everything was going on in an orderly manner, and he couldn't help frowning at the thought of the message that the Knight Alliance had sent to him.
After thinking for a moment, he pulled out the black ring hanging on his chest, rubbed the engraving on it with his thumb, and whispered: "I thought I wouldn't need you, but I didn't expect the United Chamber of Commerce to be involved in a cult, and I don't know what the origin of this dark god will be......?" I forgot to make an announcement that I haven't updated in the past few days.,I'm sorry.,(⊙_⊙),There's been a lot of bad things at home these days.,(In fact, there are many things that don't need me to go.,But someone has all kinds of magical truths O__O "... , I don't know what to think), I went to Heyuan yesterday, that is, the long-distance test, and I came back today.
