1364. Vozhmara
The basic composition of the Western Route Army was the elite of Surdak's 60,000 Alliance Lords' Army, and then nearly 50,000 heavy infantry from the hands of the noble lords from all over the country, and these foreign heavy infantry regiments had their own commanders.
On the battlefield, Surdak was able to command these infantry regiments to fight the Legion of Demons simply by delivering orders to these commanders.
Of course, there were once some selfish commanders who habitually sent these peripheral armies to the battlefield as cannon fodder in the first echelon.
But if this is the case, the outcome is not difficult to predict, that is, the post of commander will soon be removed from the military department.
And the military department is not very likely to consider this kind of general as a commander, so whether it is the commander of the Eastern Route Army this time, Edmund . Arnold, as well as Surdak, the commander of the Western Route Army, both had outstanding performances as commanders in the Plane War.
On this expedition to the Warsaw plane, the military department was responsible for providing logistics materials.
Moreover, the agreement reached between the military department and the lords that the spoils captured on the battlefield this time will also be implemented in accordance with the principle of four-three-three distribution, that is to say, the military department that provides logistics materials, the noble lords who form the lord army, and the soldiers who fight on the front-line battlefield divide the spoils equally, and this distribution method is undoubtedly a rich benefit for the soldiers participating in the war.
The reason for this is also very clear, that is, in recent years, almost no one has wanted to go to the battlefield in Warsaw.
……
Surdak stayed in the makeshift camp for two days, and after arranging the affairs of the camp side, he took Andrew with Samira and Gulitham to Bena City.
This time he met the Marquis of Luthor at the military headquarters, and before he could even say a few words between his son-in-law, the Marquis of Luthor was invited away by the adjutant.
Recently, Marquis Luthor has been busy formulating the battle route in the military headquarters, and this time he also summoned the operational staff officers in the military headquarters to conduct war rehearsals on the Warsaw plane in the conference room, and there was no time to entertain Surdak.
After Surdak left the military headquarters, he did not go to the Marquis's Court to sit again.
This expedition to the Warsaw plane, it is not known how long it will take to return to Bena Province.
So Surdak was ready to take Andrew, Samira, and Gulit back to the Maca Plane to have a look, after all, it was the hometown of the three of them, and they could go back to see their relatives there while they had time.
According to the two-headed ogre, his hometown must have been in a bay on the maca plane, and it is not known how far away it was from the city of Vozhmara, where he had wandered in the forest while hunting.
This time, he didn't have a chance to return to the ogre village, and was willing to return to the city of Vozhmara, just to eat two meals of the food here, as a way to comfort his homesickness.
Andrew and Samira returned to the city of Warjmara on the Maca plane, Andrew was eager to meet his relatives, wife and children, Andrew's home was in the Nanai slum of Warzhmara City, thinking that this plane war would not know how long it would take, Andrew exchanged half of the merits accumulated in the army for so long into city gold coins, and filled a large wooden box......
When he received the gold coins, Andrew was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect that he could receive so many gold coins, he didn't have any concept of numbers.
Unknowingly, he stepped into the ranks of the rich.
When Andrew realized that he had become a rich man, he was silent all the way, thinking about his thoughts.
Seeing Andrew walking behind without saying a word, Surdak stopped and stood at the door of the back garden of the Duke of Newman's palace, with a long line of wagons beside him, and merchants counting the number of carriages with the tax collector.
"What are you thinking?" Surdak asked Andrew.
Andrew is the kind of reckless man who rarely has a heart on his mind, and this time he obviously has some tangles in his heart.
"I'm thinking about the people of the city of Worzhmara." Andrew replied sullenly.
While a few people were standing at the door, a group of coachmen in the caravan looked a little frightened when they saw the big man of the two-headed ogre, and even the Gubolai horse, who was pulling the cart, kicked the ground uneasily.
Surdak quickly patted Andrew on the shoulder and motioned for him to go inside.
A group of four people got a special pass from the military department, because the expedition is imminent, this kind of cross-plane teleportation pass will have an 'expedited' stamp,
The four people entered directly through the noble passage, and there was no queue at all.
There were many people standing at the portal of the Duke's Palace, and Surdak handed the special pass to the portal guard, who stopped the two nobles who were about to enter the portal and let Surdak and his party pass quickly.
The two nobles just looked at the four of them with some dissatisfaction, and did not say anything to complain.
Through the mirror-like portal, Surdak stands in the Heroes' Square in the city of Warjmara, where the climate is very different from that of the city of Bena, and the terro trees around the square are already full of ripe taylor fruits, and this season is also the happiest day for the residents of Bena.
According to the rules of the city of Voljmara, the moment the Tairo fruit falls to the ground, the children in the city who have not participated in the coming-of-age ceremony can pick it up at will, and whoever picks it up will be anyone's, which is probably a kind of living guarantee given by the consul of Warzhmara City to those poor children in the city.
"You don't want to take your people out of Warzhmara, do you?" Surdak looked at the children who were squatting under the Taylor tree in twos and threes, and asked Andrew beside him.
Andrew shook his head and said, "I just want their lives to be better, do you know how many Nanai aborigines there are in Warimala City?" There can be at least 100,000, and they're all used to life here......"
"What are you going to do?" Surdak asked.
Andrew shook his head and didn't speak.
Walking along the portal passage towards the edge of the square, there is a row of horse-drawn carriages that can be rented temporarily, some in four-wheeled wagons, some in magic caravans.
Andrew took a few steps forward, his gaze inadvertently fell on the plaque at the gate of the Junior Warrior Academy across the square, his eyes lit up, he stopped and said:
"Chief, I thought about it, maybe I don't have the ability to change the embarrassing lives of all the clansmen, but I can sponsor those Nanai children who can't afford to go to the warrior academy to go to school, as long as they can enter the academy, maybe they don't have to become cannon fodder in the infantry regiment when they serve in the military in the future, I hope they can all become Nanai warriors in the future, as long as the younger generation grows up in a better environment, then the life of the clan can slowly change."
"That's a good idea!" Surdak put his arm on Andrew's shoulder and complimented.
If Andrew couldn't have said such a thing a few years ago, his horizons have broadened a lot in that time.
"I'll mention it to the old patriarch when I go back this time to see if it's feasible." Andrew stood in front of a magic caravan, opened the door and got into the carriage, and said a word to the coachman, and the magic caravan drove into the traffic of the street.
Andrew walked away happily.
Only Surdak and Gulitum and Samira were left standing on the side of the street, and a magic car quickly made up for it behind them, and the coachman took off his hat and saluted Surdak and his party.
"Duck, where are we going next? Do you want to go to dinner first? ”
Gulit looked at a Tyro Beef Patty shop across the street and suggested with some eagerness.
Seeing Samira standing quietly on the side, Surdak hesitated and said:
"There's no hurry to eat, let's go to the shelter first!"
With that, he boarded the carriage of the magic caravan, and Samira then got into the caravan, and Gullitham sat on the shelves behind the magic caravan somewhat reluctantly.
The magic caravan slowly moved forward in the sound of stubbornness.
At the intersection of the square, there were a few stalls, and there were a number of iron chisels hanging in the iron stoves, and some people were gathered around to buy roast chicken, and Surdak put his arm out of the back window, and gave Gulitham a silver hammer, and said to him: "The roast chicken on the corner over there is very good, I was invited to eat it last time I came to Worzmara, you can buy a few and try it, but save some stomach, and you will have dinner with us later!" ”
The two-headed ogre opened his big hand, took the silver coin very quickly, jumped off the back shelf in high spirits, and strode out to the side of the street.
Now he is not the kind of reckless man who is giving money after eating, and knows the process of asking the price first, and then paying the silver hammer to get the food. While many Empires get food before they pay, ogres have long since stopped caring about that.
The roast chicken here was very cheap, Surdak gave him a silver hammer with eight, and he bought two skewers, each skewer had eight, and it was the kind of roasted golden fat chicken, which was also coated with brown sauce, probably worried that it would not be convenient for Gulit to hold, so the stall owner gave two iron chisels to Gulitham.
The ogre barely stopped, and ran back to the carriage and sat down on the luggage rack in the back again.
He had gained a lot of weight lately, and as he sat on it, the carriage of the metal bridge shook, and the footsteps of the two Gubolian horses pulling the cart in front of him became extremely heavy.
Passing through the main street of the city of Vožmara, the carriage walked slowly.
As if the city had given Samira enough courage, she leaned lightly on Surdak's shoulder, closed her eyes and enjoyed the autumn afternoon sun, unconsciously turned her short hair into a shawl, her pointed ears turned crimson, she could feel the heat on her face, even her heartbeat became loud, and it felt as if her chest trembled.
The sky in Vožimara was blue, and some withered yellow leaves kept falling.
The streets are full of pedestrians......
A Taylor fruit fell from the fall, attracting three children to rush it, and the moment the Taylor fruit hit the ground, a red-haired girl in a linen dress was the first to pick it up, she immediately put it in her pocket, and then jumped away like a light deer, and the other two boys who rushed over let out a frustrated lament.
Although sweat ran from her sideburns across her cheeks, there was an inexplicable joy on her little face, and her scattered hair was flying in the wind.
Probably knowing that Samira was a little nervous, Surdak took the initiative to hold her slender and strong hand.
"You know what? At the beginning, I was the best at snatching Tairo fruits, and no one in the whole street could compete with me. Samira whispered with her eyes closed.
She was so familiar with this place that she didn't have to open her eyes to know that there was still a Taro fruit outside.
Samira's face was as red as if she had drunk wine.
"I remember the first time I saw you, you were on that wall." Surdak looked at the wall in the distance, which was actually far away, and the wall was almost submerged in layers of buildings.
"Hellhound siege the city, no one hired a guide in those days, it just happened that the city defense team lacked archers, and the reward for shooting a hellhound was a silver coin, my archery skills have always been very good, I joined the archers group on the same day, and an arrow hit the head of the hellhound, which is a silver hammer! At that time, it was like I was obsessed, I couldn't control my hand at all, and as long as I could pull the bowstring apart, I could shoot ......."
Samira whispered to Surdak.
"You activated the power of the blood of the elven archer, but you didn't know how to use it at the time, and it almost cost you ...... this arm," Surdak looked at Samira's right arm.
Samira unfastened the leather shoulder pad, revealing her fair, rounded right shoulder.
On her big arm, a Mighty Demon Ape's life magic pattern flowed with a red magical aura.
She showed it to Surdak with some pride, her red eyes full of 'Look, with this life pattern, her arms have completely recovered their ......', and the smug and flying look on her face made her whole person seem to be full of vitality.
Seeing her agile appearance, Surdak couldn't help but reach out to touch the top of her head, Samira subconsciously tilted her head, and Surdak's hand happened to touch her soft pointed ears.
Her face turned even redder, and this time she didn't hide, but leaned on Surdak's shoulder again.
Let this magic caravan run through the streets of Worjmara......
……
The coachman did not make a detour, but turned left in the alley on the edge of the city, and came to the street that Samira was most familiar with.
The inhabitants of the street were poor, and the houses on both sides of the street were dilapidated and crowded, and it was evident that little had changed in the past few years, except that now the asylum had changed, and the iron fenced door hung a wooden board with white paint and a line of imperial script.
'Wožimara Orphans'
The iron gate was tightly closed, but the small wooden door next to it was left with a crack, and the courtyard seemed very quiet.
Through the iron fence wall, you can see a newly built spired red house in the courtyard, which is a small three-story building with a raised spire on the roof, and a small bronze bell hidden inside, and the glass windows of the whole house are wiped extremely clean.
There was another small pool in the courtyard, in which there were a lot of taro fruits, and a few children sat on small stools, trying to wash those taro fruits.
