Surdak did not expect Baron Goss to change his mind, and sent someone to chase after him from behind with a herd of five hundred Gubolian horses, and completed the deal in the field.

Although he had some slander against Baron Goss, he was not cold enough to refuse this horse transaction, and this transaction was also based on the market situation, five hundred war horses were converted into 10,000 gold coins, so that Andrew took a bag full of gold coins, and returned to Baron Goss's manor on the shore of Bailin Lake with the servants in Baron Goss's manor, and handed over a bag full of gold coins to Baron Goss in person.

Then Andrew and a guide followed the same road to catch up with the cavalry battalion.

The cavalry battalion suddenly had five hundred more Gubolai horses, which suddenly doubled the size of the cavalry ranks, and formed a long, long line on the grassland.

Fortunately, Surdak hired twenty-seven herdsmen in the village of Watts, and with their skilled horse herding skills, the newly sent horses were properly placed.

This time, the cavalry battalion has more than 1,000 horses, which can basically reach the point where each cavalryman can have a war horse that can be changed at any time. In this way, it will be much more convenient to march in a hurry later.

Fortunately, there is grassland along the way, and there is no need to prepare any additional forage for the war horses, as long as the war horses are arranged to drink water on time, these war horses have to eat grass on the grass for half an hour after drinking water, although such a little time is not enough for the war horses to fill their stomachs, but it will not make them hungry.

The Gubolai horses sent from the ranch had not undergone formal training, they could not understand simple riding instructions, and they had not worn saddle covers, and these had to go through a period of training before the cavalry could ride normally.

Surdak handed over the task of domesticating the 500 war horses to the twenty-seven herdsmen, and apparently the twenty-seven herdsmen were also very happy with Surdak's arrangement, and the domestication of the war horses began along the way.

Nika and Samira rode on the same horse, and when the cavalry camp rested, the two ate together.

With Samira's special care, Nika only took half a day to get a preliminary understanding of the cavalry battalion.

The cavalry in the cavalry camp were all kind to themselves, only the girl named Xigena was a little hostile to herself, although the two had not greeted each other, but she knew that the little princess in the barracks must be very difficult to deal with, everyone in the barracks took good care of Xigna, she spent most of her time on the white camel every day, and she was a girl who didn't like to talk much.

Samira took Nika with her and let her follow her through the barracks.

Unexpectedly, this local aboriginal girl is extremely adaptable, and soon knows what she should do every day.

The cavalry battalion had a surplus of horses, and in order to make an extra part of the journey every day, the cavalry had to set out before dawn every day, and camp after sunset, so that after four days of continuous travel, Surdak's cavalry battalion finally arrived in the town of Dodan on the night of the eighth day after leaving Wilkes.

……

Surrounded by mountains, the town of Dodan is an important pass to the Warcraft Forest in the northern part of the White Forest Plane.

The town is built on a high ground surrounded by mountains, there is a valley road leading directly to the Northern Warcraft Forest of the White Forest Plane, if you don't take this valley road, the surrounding mountains are as huge and sharp as a blade, if you look down from a high altitude, you will find that the dangerous peaks around the Warcraft Forest are almost connected into a large area, if you want to bypass this pass and enter the Northern Warcraft Forest, you have to detour for at least two more days.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the town of Dodan is called the gateway to the north of Bailin.

The town of Dodan is more of a fortress than a small town.

It's just that Surdak and the cavalry battalion arrived at night.

Since it was night, and everyone did not have an intuitive understanding of the whole picture of Dodan Town, Surdak wanted to let the cavalry battalion be stationed outside the city, spend the night, and then hand over to the garrison tomorrow morning.

Unexpectedly, the cavalry battalion of the Langdon Regiment gave up the garrison camp overnight.

They were probably in a hurry, and before the handover ceremony was completed, the commander of the cavalry battalion hurried to Wilkes with the main force of the cavalry battalion, leaving only a few deputies to carry out the handover of the garrison with Surdak.

Five hundred cavalrymen lived in the town's garrison barracks, and the quarters in the barracks were three rows of wooden houses, each row of wooden houses had about twenty dormitories, and their quarters were assigned according to the cavalry battalion squads, so that it was midnight.

There is also a row of newly renovated stables in the garrison camp, and most of the nearly 1,000 horses can be kept in the stables, and due to the limited size of the stables, there are nearly 100 horses left outside the stables for the night, and the expansion of the stables is estimated to be a top priority.

An officer in demonic uniform, who was also a noble baron, hurriedly walked over, and greeted Surdak very warmly when he saw him: "Hello, I am Maynard, the deputy commander of the 27th Cavalry Battalion of the Langdon Regiment, and I have been specially ordered to stay in Dodan Town to change the garrison and hand over to you. ”

In the darkness of the night, the Baron Maynard looked a little older than Surdak, and looked very sedate, saluting as he spoke.

Surdak saluted him and inquired of him: "Hello, Commander Maynard! I am Surdak, the commander of the independent cavalry battalion of the Luthor Legion, and I would like to ask you to introduce the defense area and military affairs here, the commander of your battalion is in such a hurry to return to Wilkes City, is there something going on in the central city? ”

Baron Maynard shook his head and said:

"It's not Wilkes City, it's the home of Bena Province that was attacked by Lord McDonnell's private army, and the summoning order was sent to Dodan Town today, even if your cavalry battalion does not arrive in Dodan Town tonight, the main force of our cavalry battalion will return to Wilkes tomorrow morning."

Surdak was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Lord McDonnell to really launch an offensive against the noble lords of Bena Province after the Luther Legion entered the Bailin plane.

What surprised him even more was that the first noble lord to bear the brunt was actually the Langdon family.

Surdak could only say euphemistically: "I didn't expect the situation at home to deteriorate so quickly......"

Baron Maynard's face was also very bad, and anyone who heard such news would not be in a good mood, he said a little tiredly: "Baron Surdak, you have a good rest, tomorrow morning I will take you to familiarize yourself with the defense area of Dodan Town's expansion to the north, as well as the defense areas that each area in the city needs to be responsible for." ”

In addition to being responsible for the security of the town, this is the border of the Bailin plane occupation area, and it also needs to patrol the border every day, morning, noon and evening, and the defense objects are not only the plane natives in the mountains, the aboriginal resistance forces, but also some bandit gangs and monsters in the mountains.

However, on the day that Surdak arrived in Dodan Town, the adventure group outside the town was attacked by a thief group, not only killed, but also robbed some of the adventure group's materials.

Baron Maynard was busy during the day, and he was also exhausted when he heard that the territory of the province of Bednard was attacked by Lord MacDonnell.

The next morning, Baron Maynard briefed Surdak on the defense of the town of Dodan and, after completing the handover ceremony, hurriedly took the last cavalry squadron of the cavalry battalion and hurried home.

Surdak ordered the flag of the Luther Legion to be hung at the head of the city.

At this point, the defense of Dodan Town was handed over to the Luthor Legion.
