1392. Camp handover
A ray of sunlight shines through the dense woods, leaving specks of light on the meadows, where the air is filled with a light mist, and many of the huge trees are covered with green moss.
This woodland was once a battlefield, but now the traces of those battles are almost obscured by the plants that grow in the forest.
The air is filled with the bitter taste of a plant.
The forest farm camp is located in a col on the edge of the northern woods of Warsaw, which was once a large forest farm dedicated to transporting indigo, ironwood, moire pear and other precious timber to the empire, but this forest farm was completely abandoned a few years ago, and later the Bena army entered Handanaar, which became the garrison camp in the northern part of Handanaar.
The camp of the demon army in the north of the mountain range is only a hundred kilometers away from here, and the demon army over there has been trying to use the forest camp as a breakthrough in the past few years, and the army has entered the northern meadow, but unfortunately the army in the forest camp is wedged here like a nail, so that those demon warriors are helpless.
The camp is surrounded by a red brick wall, and after so many years of operation, the tents in the camp have long since disappeared completely.
Instead, there are wooden houses, which are very neatly built.
There are also some recruit fighters training on the playground inside the camp.
The free market across the camp was a bit depressed, but it couldn't be helped, and now the portal in Epson City was crowded with people who were about to leave, and they were competing with the logistics force for limited portal resources, which had been going on for more than a year, so the market here was depressed.
Karattia was the commander of the 79th Hussar Regiment in the forest camp, and the 79th Hussar Regiment had recently been on patrol in the forest camp as a small unit, patrolling around the 30 km radius of the forest camp in small groups.
In the morning, he came out of the camp of the Golden Leaf Merchant Group in the Free Market, and according to the usual custom he rode around the camp on horseback.
Through the gap in the curtain of the tent, not only can you see the snow-white arms inside, but you can also hear the chuckle of the woman.
Commander Kalatetia rearranged some leather trouser belts, touched the hilt of his sword at his waist, and saw his horse tied to the mouth of the tent, and when the horse saw Kalatetia come out, he snorted excitedly, gouged the ground with his iron hooves, and neighed in bursts.
Hearing the commotion, several light cavalry gathered from all sides, and Karattia grabbed the saddle and mounted his horse with ease.
"Let's go out and make rounds first, and then we'll go to the barracks for breakfast......," Karattia said, pulling the reins of her horse with one hand and putting her helmet on her head with the other, to the hussars behind her.
This kind of patrol has long been accustomed to by merchants in the free market.
Some early risers saw Commander Kalatetia departing with his squad and greeted the hussar commander warmly.
The corners of Commander Karaatetia's mouth raised a faint pride, and he held the knight's sword in his hand and rode at the front.
He was closely followed by a cavalryman carrying a military flag, followed by five light cavalry who were good at crossbow arrows, and the group ran out of the hillside and probed straight in the direction of Moyunling.
Commander Karatetia has been out every day for the last few days.
Just as Kalatia was returning from the woodland, he saw from a distance a group of demonic beasts gathering on a grassy slope in the eastern mountains, and he was a little nervous, jumped off his horse, and pulled the reins of his horse to hide in a safe corner.
It's just that there aren't any trees or rocks around here, and it's impossible for him to dodge.
His eyesight was very good, and from a distance of seven or eight hundred meters, he could see those huge red monsters with huge fangs on their heads, walking on the ground, and they seemed to be carrying some goods on their bodies.
It looks like these monsters are covered in black. The magic pattern is as strong as a bison.
At this moment, Karathatia had an ominous premonition in his heart, what he was most worried about was that those hell demons on the opposite side would have other troops enter the Warsaw plane, and now this group of demons has exhausted everyone to deal with, once other classes are added...... For example, the demon warriors rode those red fanged monsters against the cavalry.
Thinking of this, Kalatetia immediately mounted his horse again and ran towards the mountain.
There were more and more red monsters on the mountain in front of him, and the heart of Commander Karatethia was getting colder and colder. His legs were a little weak, his heart was beating violently, and an inexplicable panic swelled up in his heart.
If these red monsters were brought by the demons, the forest camp would have suffered unprecedented damage.
He began to think about whether to blow the siren or not, and his hand had already touched the brass trumpet on his waist, but just as he was about to blow the trumpet, Karathatia suddenly saw two costumed knights appear in front of these red monsters.
The magic patterns on their bodies are so dazzling in the sunlight.
Karattia raised her hand and signaled the two light cavalry to stay where they were, while the other cavalry followed her forward to investigate the situation on the other side, and once her team was in danger, the two light cavalry who remained behind would quickly run back to deliver the message.
The commander of Karatethia ran to the two knights in armor, while the other hussars circled to the sides, intending to see the size of the army.
It would be terrifying if an army of demons came out without a sound, and the point was that the warriors in the forest camp were not prepared at all.
As the commander of Karatetia ran closer and closer, the monster army in his field of vision became clearer and clearer, and the two knights in costume also met him from the opposite side, and Karatetia finally recognized that those monsters were carrying the rations that the demons usually ate.
A few years ago, this mountainous woodland was infested with all kinds of wild animals.
Among them, red-eyed hyenas live in groups in the mountains and forests, and there are many one-horned bison living near the river valleys, etc., and many times the heavy infantry regiments of the Bednar Regiment will not easily step into the jungle, because once they encounter a group of red-eyed hyenas in the mountains, it is likely to cause unnecessary casualties.
But in just a few years, this jungle has basically become dead silent, except for some bird calls.
All the jungle beasts that could be hunted were probably eaten by the demons.
In order to get enough food supplies, the demon army sent a large number of demon hunting groups into the depths of the mountains to hunt down the beasts in the forest, and the commander of Karathia was familiar with the food that these demons usually eat, which was the bacon on the backs of these red monsters.
He was more than fifty meters away from the two knights in front of him, and he shouted: "Don't go any further, where did you come from?" ”
The two knights in costume heard the shouts of Commander Calatetia, and sure enough, they stopped.
One of the constructed knights raised a hand and urged the horse forward until he reached Commander Kalatetia and smiled at Commander Karatetia.
When Caraertia saw the count's coat of arms on his chest, she immediately gave a knightly salute.
……
Surdak looked at the light cavalry officer in front of him, smiled at him affectionately, and then took out a requisition order from his bosom and said to him: "I am Surdak, the commander of the Western Route Army of the Bena reinforcements, and I am the forward troops of the Western Route Army who have been ordered to come and garrison the forest camp!" ”
The armies on the hillside seemed to verify Surdak's words, and a group of hoplites squeezed up from behind, standing in front of the soldiers.
Seeing the Imperial infantry appear on the hillside, the hussar officer breathed a clear sigh of relief.
He saluted Surdak again, then took the requisition order and checked the authenticity, and when he saw that the seal of the military headquarters was clearly stamped on it, a heart in his throat finally fell back to its original place, and he turned his head and waved his hand at the two light cavalry behind him, indicating that everything was normal.
"You're Commander Surdak, and we've received word from the Bednar Legion command that you'll be arriving at the Woodyard camp in the next few days." Commander Kalatetia said politely.
He remembered that a month earlier, there had been news that a large number of reinforcements had been summoned from the province of Bednar to enter the Warsaw plane.
I didn't expect this to be true......
In fact, every year the Bena military department will say that reinforcements will arrive, and then replace some soldiers who have completed their military service and return to Bena Province.
But in fact, the forest camp has not seen the so-called reinforcements in the past two years, and now a group of soldiers suddenly appeared, and a group of monsters rushed over, saying that they wanted to change guards with the garrison here.
Commander Kalatetia had long lost the excitement in his heart, and only nodded businessfully and said:
"I just didn't expect there to be those big guys in your army, we've never seen this kind of mount here!"
"These are the ghost-patterned soldier ants of the White Forest Plane." Seeing the vigilance in the eyes of the officer opposite, Surdak explained, "Can you take me to the forest camp to meet your commander?" ”
"Of course, please come with me." Karathatia said first, and then immediately added, "Your army must stay where it is until it has received other orders......
Surdak nodded, motioning for Andrew to follow him, accompanied by two knights of the Guard.
Walking along the path at his feet towards the military camp in the col, Surdak casually looked around, the area around the forest camp still looked the same.
His gaze fell on the hillside across the camp, where the free market looked a little depressed, but the open-air taverns, grocery stores, fur shops, and grocery stores were still in operation.
The merchants on the other side of the free market saw the army of soldiers and ants on the hillside, and many of them ran to the heights to look out at the monsters from afar.
Even Surdak, who had followed Commander Kalatetia inside, was pointed.
Surdak remembered the merchant Larkin and thought that he had lived in that tent for a while, and he couldn't help but want to follow the road ahead to the free market......
However, he eventually abandoned the idea and followed Commander Kalatetia into the forest barracks.
This barracks is supposed to have been renovated after the Great War, but the original forest camp was not like this, the former forest camp was only a circle of huge wooden fences, inside which were patches of white marching tents, and when they were rescued, they lay in one of the tents for three months.
Arriving at the gate of the barracks, the commander of Kalatetia waved his hand to the guards at the gate, who hurriedly pushed the gate of the barracks open.
Surdak rode into the forest camp on horseback, which was no longer what it used to be, and he didn't have so much sadness at this moment.
Coming to the front of the camp command post, a commander with a group of officers greeted him from inside.
When the officer saw Surdak, he immediately walked up cordially, patted Surdak on the shoulder, and said loudly to him: "The order for the change of guard from the command post has been in place here for more than a month, and you can be regarded as coming!" ”
The middle-aged commander looked excited, turned around and instructed the herald behind him:
"Tell me that the camp will be vacated for the fraternal troops from tonight, and all the soldiers who remain in the garrison will immediately pack their bags, and before sunset, the 138th, 147th, and 149th Heavy Infantry Regiments and the 63rd Hussar Regiment will prepare to return to Handanar County through the Great Meadow overnight."
Surdak was speechless.
This commander was actually like the commander of the Langdon family he met in Dodan Town, the White Forest plane, and he was a little impatient when he saw the change of troops.
He didn't even introduce himself.
The Karathatia commander on the side coughed lightly, and then said to the middle-aged commander:
"This is Commander Surdak, the Supreme Commander of the Western Route Army!"
"This is Lord Earl Drake, the Supreme Commander of the Woodfarm Camp."
Commander Drake invited Surdak into the camp command post, and asked the adjutant next to him to pour Surdak a cup of hot tea, his eyes could not hide the excited expression, he rubbed his hands vigorously, trying to calm the excitement in his heart, and then turned his head and instructed the adjutant:
"Scout squads currently patrolling outside do not need to be urgently recalled!"
The adjutant nodded.
Commander Drake then said to Surdak:
"I'm not familiar with the environment here, but when I get around tomorrow, I'll show you around and tell you the location of the secret sentry here."
"In addition, those evil ghosts from Moyunling will come here every once in a while, so you should pay attention to take more precautions at ordinary times."
"They are used to popping up from three areas, and those places usually need to be patrolled, and it is worth noting that the demons will not be affected by their combat power day or night, especially at night sentry posts."
Commander Drake walked into the command post, and was not idle, but stood next to the sand table of a forest camp and talked to Surdak about the precautions in the barracks.
In the end, he repeatedly told Surdak:
"The combat power of those demons is equivalent to the strength of a knight in a transformational formation, so you can't underestimate the enemy no matter what."
"As long as you defend the northern regions this time, you will wait here for news of our occupation of Kornberg......"
