684. The beginning of Bailin
In late March, the sky is covered with a pale gray cloud, and the southeast monsoon from the Endless Sea brings warm, salty and moist air, which fills the land of Bena province with fresh green.
A group of city guards climbed the walls of Bena City, facing the rising sun, their armor reflecting a golden light.
A large number of civilians in the city took to the streets and rushed to work in their own way, this part of the population accounted for eighty percent of the population of Bena City, but they were crowded into the small civilian area in the southern part of the city, they worked diligently every day, creating a lot of wealth for the city, but the wealth that could fall into their pockets was pitiful, and they were busy every day, just to have a warm bed, a fragrant baked wheat cake and a plate of hot vegetable soup.
The central street of Bena City was again crowded with knights in armor, and as they marched through the long street, the streets were crowded with onlookers.
Surdak rode his Gubolai horse and stopped on the arched bridge, waiting for his cavalry battalion to pass smoothly through the arched bridge, and then followed the tail of the team towards the castle of the Duke of Newman in the north of the city, where the Lutor Legion had eight cavalry battalions, two longbow battalions, and ten heavy infantry battalions to enter Wilkes City on the White Forest plane through the portal in the inner courtyard garden.
The Luther Legion had assembled in Bednar City and was ready to go, and on the first day of the fourth week of March, they finally received a cross-plane requisition pass from the House of Representatives, and the Legion entered a wartime state and packed up their temporary camp in the morning.
As early as a week ago, the logistics force of the Luther Legion had entered the White Forest Plane in advance to make preliminary preparations, and now the main force of the Legion will also enter the White Forest Plane, announcing that the defense of the Langdon family station on the White Forest Plane has officially been taken over by the Luther Legion.
In the past, this kind of plane garrison mission was the best way for young nobles to earn merits, but with the frequent outbreak of plane wars in the Grimm Empire, the task of garrisoning in the plane is more like holding a fire scale bomb that is ready to explode at any time, and I don't know when, once a war breaks out in the plane, the first to suffer a bloodbath is destined to be the plane garrison.
At present, the dark legion of the Hell Force has not been discovered in the White Forest Plane, and there are four main known dark legions, they are the Nakma Legion, the Nibru Spider Legion, the Demon Legion, and the Faceless Legion.
Among them, the Dark Legion that conquered the Warsaw Plane ruled by the Bussman family is the notorious Ghost Legion, the Dark Legion that captured the Hiero Plane ruled by the Samoyed Duke in Durva Province is the Nebru Spider Legion, and the Dark Legion that conquered the Vaskiki Plane ruled by the Mensa family in Palestina Province is the strange and powerful Faceless Legion.
Surdak had been learning about the situation of the plane war in the Luthor Legion these days, and he didn't expect that there would be wars in so many places, and soldiers would die on the front lines every moment.
Seeing that some of the recruits in his team of cavalry could not bear the weight of the heavy armor, Surdak felt a little headache, at present, improving the physical fitness of the recruits is the top priority, otherwise his cavalry battalion will not be able to cope with any sudden battles.
However, this cavalry battalion is not so useless, after all, there are still two hundred veterans who can hold up the shelves of the cavalry battalion.
The Luther's regiment followed the ring road at the edge of the river outside the castle to the north, and the cavalry battalion at the front had entered the inner courtyard garden of the Duke of Newman's castle.
Surdak rode down the arched bridge, Selena, Andrew, Samira, Gulitham, Viru and others were under the bridge, and everyone marched with the cavalry battalion.
The Great Swordsman of Chester rode a blue-scaled horse, looking at Surdak who was slowly walking down the arched bridge, his brows furrowed slightly, he hoped that during the time he was stationed in the White Forest Plane, this young man who was chosen by the Marquis of Luthor would be able to settle down and not be so sharp.
He knew that the young nobleman wearing a red light leather armor had a very good performance in the maca plane, and there were many rumors about him within the legion, I heard that he was a rare knight of the Holy Light in the entire Grimm Empire, and he did not believe in the Goddess of Liberty, and now that the temple has completely withdrawn from the Grimm Empire, such a holy light knight is a life guarantee for the entire legion.
He was betrothed to Hathaway and joined the Luther Legion with his own private army, and it was clear that the Marquis of Luther had more than a little admiration for him.
Surdak is burly, and his body seems to be a little unable to suppress the surging power in his body, and other people don't feel it so obviously, but Chester, the deputy legion leader who is a second-turn great swordsman, feels it the most, and that is the sign that can be shown when the level reaches the critical point of the level.
I don't know why, on such an important day, Surdak didn't wear the magic pattern structure.
It is said that a knight at the peak of the nineteenth level should wear a full-coverage magic pattern structure, and the Chester Great Swordsman would not think that Surdak could not afford to wear it, since he has such a well-equipped private army, then it is certainly not a difficult thing to buy a set of magic pattern structure.
It's that one of his native warriors is wearing a set of top-level magic pattern uniforms, what is this?
With the exception of the native warrior, his followers seem to be a bit of an unusual: a half-blood elf who likes to hide his face in his hood all day, a demon hunter archer who likes to wrap his body in bandages, a woman in a black dress who exudes a distinctive aura without magical robes, and an ogre with a heavy steel plate hanging from his body......
The Marquis of Luthor didn't seem to care.
He was on horseback, his eyes slightly closed, thinking about if there was anything missing from entering the White Forest Plane this time......
……
Surdak didn't think about customizing a magic pattern for Samira.
The salamander leather armor can be an excellent substrate for the magic pattern construction, but Samira's right shoulder is implanted with the life magic pattern of the big demon ape, this magic pattern colonization suit not only increases Samira's strength, but also allows Samira to have the ability of 'double blow', her arm itself is her burden, and now there is such a powerful magic pattern colonization suit, the carrying capacity of the body itself is greatly limited, and it is impossible to carry a set of magic pattern structure.
Her situation is different from that of the indigenous warrior Andrew, who has the 'Berserker's Soul', and his body's carrying capacity has increased exponentially, and even if he has 'Burst', he is fully capable of wearing the 'Earth Shield'.
The cavalry battalion was sandwiched between the ranks and entered the backyard garden very smoothly, where fountains, sculptures, greenery, and marble corridors built up this beautiful courtyard, and through the narrow pool, on the circular platform in the center of the garden, filled with countless magical powers, the six corners of the platform gathered an arc of magical light to build a portal in the center of the platform.
There was a crackling arc of electricity next to the portal, and one cavalry after another led their horses into the portal, and they were very careful when they entered the portal, for fear of accidentally touching the arc of the portal.
Surdak was no stranger to passing through portals, and he feared that the veterans of the Badlands had little experience with it, so he walked over in a hurry, and if the portal failed, it would be a big problem. So he rode to the front of the team and led the horse into the portal.
It was like falling silently into a deep pool, and just before the body lost control, it suddenly opened up in front of me, and I had entered a bright world.
In front of him is a wide square, the bluestone slabs paved on the square have many broken places, the knights who arrived first are neatly lined up in the square, the cavalry battalions are counting the number of people, and there are many onlookers on the roadside around the square.
Surdak led the horse out of the portal, and couldn't help but raise his head, there were faint white clouds floating in the pale blue sky, and there were no high-rise buildings around the square, so the view was very wide.
"Lord Baron, welcome to the White Forest Plane!"
The guard at the portal said eagerly to Surdak.
Surdak turned around and looked around the square, only to find that the other half of the square was piled up with stacks of various materials, which looked like a temporary material transfer center, with rows of wooden boxes and sackcloth bags, some of which were loaded into magic caravans and carried away, and some of which were continuously unloaded from magic caravans.
Not far away, an armored guard beckoned them to line up over there, and Surdak realized that he couldn't block the teleportation door.
Surdak hurriedly beckoned the cavalry of the cavalry battalion to line up over there, and the whole process was very smooth, only when some of the horses passed through the portal, they would be disturbed, but each knight led the horses, and the frightened horses were pulled with all their might, and they would soon be pacified.
Eight cavalry battalions of the Luther Legion were the first to enter the Bailin plane, followed by two longbow archer regiments, and finally ten heavy infantry regiments will enter the Bailin plane one after another, and the cavalry battalions here will not wait for all the heavy infantry regiments to come before they will act in unison.
Once the eighth cavalry battalion had passed through the portal, the cavalry battalion left the plaza and cleared the open space so that the longbow archers could line up and count the numbers.
Surdak led his cavalry battalion through the streets of Wilkes, where it was almost impossible to see buildings taller than three stories, the tallest buildings in the city were the bell towers scattered throughout the districts, the streets were crowded with various trading houses, and the streets were full of double-storey terraced houses, the walls of which were painted white, the gray roofs, and the lush street trees lined the streets, which made the city appear distinctive.
In the attic, a young girl is drying her laundry.
On the stone steps at the corner of the street, several old people sat in the shade and chatted.
Seven or eight white birds flew through the sky at great speed, and there were few magic caravans in the streets, but there were many four-wheeled carriages carrying goods, and the roadside was almost full of such vehicles.
Wilkes was only the central city of the plane, but it was even bigger than Surdak had imagined, and he walked through the streets on horseback for nearly two hours, and it was close to noon before Surdak led the cavalry battalion through the city gates, stepped over the wooden drawbridge over the moat, and walked out of Wilkes City.
The Luther Regiment's logistics regiment set up a makeshift barracks outside Wilkes, and the cavalry entered the barracks to report first, where they were received by logistics regiment officers who were responsible for arranging accommodation.
Surdak knew that everyone would not stay here for long, and after getting used to this plane a little, he would march to the satellite town as agreed before, and go there to change the guard, completely liberating the garrison of the Langdon family from the White Forest plane.
Sure enough, the Chester Swordsman arrived at the barracks that night, and although all the 15,000 heavy infantry had passed through the portal, more than half of the infantry was still stranded in Wilkes.
The Chester swordsman summoned the commanders of the eight cavalry battalions, although their respective defense areas had already been decided, but the Chester swordsman still pointed to the sand table and said again, the cavalry battalion has better mobility, and the combat power is significantly higher than that of the heavy armored infantry regiment, so the eight cavalry battalions are basically arranged in the farthest satellite towns from Wilkes City, and the eight cavalry battalions are very far away from each other, and it is difficult to rely on each other.
The town where Surdak was stationed was called Dodan, and it would take at least five days to reach Dodan on horseback.
Early the next morning, Surdak received a week's worth of marching rations for the cavalry battalion at the barracks logistics regiment, and left the makeshift camp for the town of Dodan before all the hoplites had arrived outside the barracks.
In order to prevent the cavalry battalion from getting lost on the road, the regimental logistics department also arranged for two local guides.
After leaving the city, Surdak learned the origin of the name of the White Forest Plane, and there is a kind of tree with leaves that look like oleanders growing in the nearby woods, the leaves of this kind of trees are pale blue on the front and hoarfrost on the back, and when the wind blows through the trees, when the leaves fly, the woods instantly turn white, so it is called the White Forest Plane.
The leaves of this tree are said to be very rich in fat and a very resistant fuel, and the local aborigines love to use this leaf to make fires and cook rice.
In addition to the oleander-like leaves, the leaves of many herbaceous plants on the white forest plane are characterized by this, and Surdak's cavalry battalion marched north along a river with white-stemmed reeds growing along the river, in which some waterfowl flew back and forth.
The ogre Gulitham looked at the white scales in the sparkling water, and without hesitation, he strode into the clear water, picked up the bone-crushing stick in his hand and smashed it into the river.
The sound of the bone-shattering stick was mixed with a sonic boom, the stick smashed on the surface of the river, and suddenly a layer of sound waves pushed the river to spread around, and an exaggerated explosion sound came from the river, and the river exploded, and countless water droplets rushed to the surroundings in a series of water arrows, and then countless small water droplets fell from the sky.
I thought the ogre saw the river and wanted to vent.
The next moment, a white-scaled fish floated out of the water, and then many white-scaled fish emerged one after another, large and small floating on the surface of the water with their bellies facing up.
The ogre stood waist-deep in the river, stretched out his big hand like a fan, and fished out all the white-scaled fish......
