Chapter 65: Departure

After the army had assembled near Saint-Caron, it was finally time to set out.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the empress led the dragoons to march in person. The emperor of the empire personally led an army to war, which had not happened for more than a few decades.

Even the inhabitants of St. Caron had only heard from the old man's mouths the story of the emperor's wisdom and prowess in destroying one enemy after another, and this strange event that was difficult to encounter in a lifetime diluted the grief caused by the earthquake and gave them something to talk about.

The Empire's centuries-old prestige has given people confidence in the strength of the Empire's armies. Although the empire has suffered many defeats and few victories over the years, it is harmless, isn't the army going to the snow field now? It seems that the barbarians will soon be wiped out!

According to the empress's plan, she was the supreme leader of the army, and the soldiers of the legion were divided into ten parts, each of which was commanded by ten noble generals of high moral character.

The details of the expedition had already been discussed in a meeting of ten days, and these generals were all veterans who had been in battle and were loyal to the royal family, and Gladyse had thought about the war with great care.

It is impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to gather in the city, and the current imperial capital is stationed in the dragoons and guards directly belonging to the royal family, who are escorting the queen's carriage and slowly marching outside the city.

Of course, the empress was followed by the nobles of the city, and after the purge of the empire, in order to show loyalty, the nobles voluntarily or involuntarily joined the legions with their armies.

As an imperial noble, Carlos, of course, also rode a horse to follow the team, and it was Russell, Carter and Bauer, Charlotte did not ride a horse, but changed into a horse coat and sat in the carriage that transported the baggage.

Russell looked at Carlos, who was quite excited, and asked, "What's wrong with you, why are you so excited?" You can see that the people next to him are all depressed. ”

Carlos tapped on the armor on his body and explained, "I haven't really used it since the armor master created this armor for me, isn't it coming in handy now!

Russell said noncommittally: "I used to think so, but after I have experienced many battles, I think it is better to have less war, and it is not good for people to live a peaceful and stable life?"

Carlos sighed in his heart and said, "Who doesn't want to live like this? But our expedition to the snowfield is also for the stability of the empire, if this war is decided, the empire will be free to deal with the rogues, and the empire will be able to return to its previous stability!"

The two discussed state affairs, and before they knew it, the procession was almost at the gate of the city, and many people gathered on both sides of the road, watching the procession that was about to set off.

Seeing their plain clothes, and observing their concerned eyes, Russell found that they turned out to be the families of the soldiers, and they came to see off the team with anticipation and apprehension.

Some of the soldiers also saw their family members seeing them off, but due to military discipline, they could not leave the team to say goodbye to their families, so they could only secretly wipe their tears and pass by their relatives without saying a word.

After all, war is about death, and the thought that many of them will not come back suddenly made Russell's heart sink suddenly.

"When the battle starts, don't impulsively follow the group, do you hear that?" Carlos admonished.

"Okay!" Russell smiled as he looked at Carlos, he realized that he was not alone, he had friends who could understand and rely on each other.

After a long time, the army finally left the city one after another, and joined forces with the army outside the city to form the largest army in the world.

A knight rode from a distance and reached the Empress's carriage. The Empress lifted the curtain and looked out the window at the knight.

The knight dismounted and saluted, and then reported: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Witz has come from the north to join us, the legions have been assembled, and we can set off at your command!"

Gladys nodded and ordered, "All the troops go!"

After the knight received the order to go, he rode his horse to the side of the Duke of Witz and conveyed the order to go, and then the legion gradually began to set off with the Duke of Witz's team as the vanguard.

Hundreds of thousands of legions naturally will not move very quickly, the forwards have traveled far away, and the transport team behind has not moved, Bauer looked at the smoke and dust in front of him and said hurriedly: "Why don't you set off yet? ”

"You don't understand this, do you!" Carter on the side stretched out his hand and pointed to the troops in the distance, "The reason why the team moves so slowly is because the size of the Imperial Legion is too large, if it can't march in an orderly manner, once the soldiers become chaotic, it will be a devastating blow to the legion." ”

"Stop chatting, the team is about to leave!" Russell shouted from the front. With that, the procession beat the drums of departure, and the transport began to march mightily.

An eagle flew through the air, its eyes watching the ant-like army pass below, and then the eagle's wings spread and flew into the sky.
