At night, when they were stationed in a riverside camp, each squadron sent down five marching tents, and there was no need to think about drinking water when camping by the river, but the trouble was that there were too many mosquitoes, and this was the southernmost rainforest of the Ganbu plane, and mosquitoes were inevitable no matter where you camped.

When camping in the summer, tents are also set up to avoid mosquito bites while sleeping.

It's just that there are twelve recruits in each tent, which is indeed a bit crowded for this standard marching tent.

In the evening, there was no yellow mutton soup, but dinner was a cereal porridge mixed with cabbage and luncheon meat, and even the Great Swordsman of Quintas couldn't figure out where Surdak got so much cabbage.

When the new army climbed out of the tent the next morning, they found that there were twelve pairs of long leather boots hanging outside each tent, which was even more outrageous.

Although the armor and weapons have not yet been separated, these new soldiers have already felt the difference between the regular army, and these ordinary benefits are simply too good.

Before distributing the weapons, Surdak and Nedmosby conducted a survey among the various squadrons and organized all the new troops who excelled in archery into a single squadron.

On the evening of the third day, Quartermaster Louis. Fitch and Surdak calculate the military expenses for these supplies.

Because Surdak had already brought the standard weapons of the hoplite infantry regiment, a squadron of sixty men was divided into shield warriors and spear warriors, with thirty knightly swords, thirty iris shields, this kind of shield was a little lighter than the tower shield, and this skin shield was stamped with blue irises on the surface, hence the name.

In addition, there are thirty Paglio spears, and the blades of these spears purchased by Surdak are all added with lapis lazuli to improve the sharpness, and the handles of the spears are all iron and wood rods, and they are engraved with spiral lines, so that people can tell at a glance that they are produced by the 'Dwarven Master', the most famous weapon shop in Bena City that makes spears.

Quartermaster Louis. Fitch is worthy of being an old military quartermaster, he doesn't even need Surdak to quote the price of these items, so he directly increases the original price of these items by 20%, and converts the payment into magic crystals and returns them to Surdak.

The quartermaster silently calculated, and his mouth chattered endlessly: "The military department asked you to form a heavy infantry regiment, it seems that it is really true, along the way you have equipped these resistance troops with almost all the top infantry equipment, the four-leaf clover water bladder of the Auchinlek leather workshop, only the Bena people know how well this thing is done." ”

"This is a copper lunch box from a copper shop in Codshire, who told you that the copper lunch box made by his family is the most durable?"

"Digler at Wood's Blacksmith was used as a skinning knife by you, why don't you exchange the knight's sword they distributed to them for cyan fury?"

Surdak could only smile all over his face and whispered: "You still have a pair of leather boots and no review......"

"Those boots are military standard boots, what do I have to comment on?" Quartermaster Louis. Fitch said with a glance upward.

……

It is not known whether it was because the Forces nouvelles were able to eat wheat cakes and porridge with luncheon meat every day, or because they distributed a brand new set of armaments, which was the envy of the other resistance forces around them.

To know...... Which of these items used by the Forces nouvelles in the past was not taken from the corpse?

So something happened along the way, so much so that a wave was formed.

Along the way, there were always some Resistance camps, and whenever the procession passed by these camps, small groups of Resistance fighters would gather on the forest path and quietly join the heavy infantry regiment of Surdak.

Every night when he camped, Surdak would find his ranks growing and needing to prepare new armaments for these new recruits.

Fortunately, when he was shopping in Bena City, each item was customized according to 20,000 copies, and for these stores, Surdak was also the first big order of this spring, and if there was stock, the inventory would be emptied first.

Samira and Thea had to register the new recruits every day, and the hoplite regiment had been walking for nearly a week, and the team had already looked like some regular army, at least every time the recruits moved, they were in small teams, together.

Moreover, the number of Surdak's heavy infantry regiment quickly doubled from 3,000 to more than 6,700.

Today, the heavy infantry regiment of Surdak has been divided into five battle groups, of which the first four are currently at full strength.

The fifth is the reserve, and the new armies that have joined one after another will enter the fifth battle group.

……

On the eighth day after leaving Canyon, the Heavy Infantry Regiment was still navigating the rainforest and had not set foot in Banske territory.

Archmage Harper, who was walking in front of the group, deliberately found Surdak and said to him with a solemn face:

"The magician who was scouting in front today has already seen the black mage on the opposite side scouting over this jungle, but the other party immediately ran away when he saw our people."

Surdak immediately flipped out the map and confirmed that the current location of the infantry regiment was at least a hundred miles away from the border of the territory of Banske Town.

"I didn't expect them to be preparing for the Crusade so soon, and I thought they would be held back by the Resistance fighters scattered in the mountains." Surdak frowned and said that he had planned to save the resistance in the mountains and turn them into the backbone of the infantry regiment, the veterans who had crawled out of the pits of the dead.

Only when the lords of the Third Legion have completely eliminated them can they begin the Eastern Crusade.

"Tomorrow I will ask the magicians to increase the scope of reconnaissance and see if they can find the main force of the Third Legion." Archmage Harper said.

"I'm going to prepare for battle here, it's better to fight in the suburbs than for them to shrink into the town, and when the time comes, I'll ......have to rebuild the town when it breaks down."

Surdak said confidently.

That night, Surdak took out 1,500 pieces of infantry hoplite armor and equipped the 1st Heavy Infantry Regiment.

However, shield warriors also require great physical strength to wear this kind of full-cover armor, and generally spear warriors wear half-body armor without leg guards and arm guards.

The whole camp was completely boiling, and the quartermaster Louis. Fitch also covered his eyes, looked unbearable, stood outside the camp, and said with a painful expression: "I should have guessed...... You will buy this kind of alloy full-covered armor mixed with black iron, you estimate that this time you have completely revitalized the 'Gutchi' blacksmith shop, and I believe that their manager will not be able to make this kind of cost-effective full-covered armor in the future. ”

Surdak stood Quartermaster Louis. Fitch beside him and said, "Actually, it's okay, I ordered 10,000 sets of ...... from the store."
