In the past two days, Ross took a steward of the Duke's Palace and selected a suitable site outside the city to be used as a zero-hour camp for the logistics battalion.

The location is on a slightly higher slope on the bank of the Greywater River, about three or four kilometers away from Fallen Leaf City. The reason why he opened a temporary camp outside the city was also because he was worried that his eyes would be too dazzling, and it would be bad if he scared the children in Fallen Leaf City.

When Lin He and his party arrived at the temporary camp, the steward of the Duke's Palace, who was in charge of repairing the site, hurriedly greeted them. I heard that the battalion directly under the command was going to escort a large number of supplies over in the afternoon, and the steward did not dare to slack off. hurriedly arranged the head of the regiment into the shed on the side, and took a group of subordinates to prepare.

The conditions in the shed were very simple, and the tea served was not very suitable for the appetite of the group leaders. After sitting here for less than half an hour, Avril Lavigne, who received the news, also rushed over with relevant people.

Hearing that the convoy would only arrive in the afternoon, Avril quickly arranged for people to prepare for the convoy while there was still some time. This is the first batch of materials escorted by the battalion directly under the logistics department, and in any case, it must attract sufficient attention.

After a group of people were busy, lunch was also dealt with improvised in the shed. Don't look at Avril as the eldest lady of the Duke's Palace, she doesn't have the aristocrat's shelf at all, and she sets off the head of the regiment who follows her like a little follower.

Finally, the outpost detachment of the logistics battalion appeared in everyone's sight. This is a twelve-person wolf cavalry squad, if it weren't for the leader of the squad holding the flag of the directly subordinate battalion in his hand, it is estimated that everyone would not have been able to find the wolf cavalry that had touched the ground of the nose for a while.

Twelve wolves roamed around the camp, making the hearts of those who had seen the wolf cavalry for the first time furious. Is this the legendary wolf cavalry, the first class of troops used to run on the mainland.

Probably not good at dealing with humans, the guys shrank back silently. In a blink of an eye, it disappeared into the grass by the river, making the eyelids of Baron Duke on the side jump.

Lin He accompanied Avril to the road, and the reflection of the weapon could already be seen at the exit at the end of the forest in the distance. It should be the main team of the battalion directly under it.

This time, it was Deputy Commander Cohen and the Khumbu Patriarch of the Orc tribe who led the team, and the whole team escorted a convoy of five hundred wagons of supplies and slowly drove into the temporary camp.

Looking at the soldiers of the direct battalion who drove over, all the people present on the human side felt the murderous aura of Sensen. Such a well-equipped and well-trained combat unit makes people feel unsure when they are left there.

Especially the two hundred strong orcs who were three or four meters tall, wearing a full set of newly created battle armor from the dwarves, carrying giant maces more than three meters long, no matter how you look at it, you can't think that this is a group of demons who have come out of hell.

"Senior brother, doesn't it seem like the number is right?" Avril, who stood there watching the troops pass, soon noticed that something was wrong.

Doesn't it seem like the right number of people, isn't it a team of only 5,000 people? It looks like there are 15,000 people.

"Cohen, what's going on?"

"That's right, the logistics battalion is 5,000 people!"

"Where did the extra 10,000 people come from?"

"Oh. They, they are the coachmen and handymen who accompany the team! ”

The deputy regiment commander Cohen, who was standing there and posing, was really face-saving, and as soon as the direct battalion appeared, he knew how popular it was when he saw the constipated expressions of this group of officers and masters.

"You call these 10,000 strong men miscellaneous servants? What are the more than ten guys who are more than five meters tall at the back of the team doing, let alone a guy? ”

"Captain, they're guys!" Deputy Head Cohen had an expression on his face that didn't matter if you believe it or not, anyway, I believed it.

Turning around and settling accounts with you, Lin He glared fiercely at this guy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and turned around and invited Miss Avril, who was standing on the side to watch the excitement, to check the supplies together.

I have to say that Ross's work is very well done, and the site selection is just right, even if such a material convoy with more than 10,000 people stops in, it will only occupy less than half of the place.

The convoy of supplies was under the strict protection of the battalion directly under it from beginning to end, and even when it entered the temporary camp, it was carried out in accordance with the standard camping procedures.

All the wagons were gathered in the middle of the camp, and the heavily loaded wagons formed a tight defensive circle. Outside the circle were troops of the direct battalion.

The entire campsite was quickly formed under the noses of the other party, and Baron Duke was very envious and jealous in his heart. is also a second-line force, and the main force in front of them to resist the empire's number one force: the dragoons, is probably not lagging behind.

In fact, the mercenary group really didn't take these people seriously, and what about the dragoons, no matter how powerful you are, you have to rush under our noses.

Let's not talk about the long-range coverage of the magic PJ cannon, it's a longbow shot at a closer distance, and it's your ability to rush over. Not to mention the fact that you'll have to face a three-shot musket formation of dwarven musketeers.

Because it involved military secrets, Lin He only accompanied Avril to check the quantity and type of supplies, while the others stood there consciously and stared at the troops in front of them.

"Brother Lin He, this group of coachmen and miscellaneous servants who accompany the team, no matter how you look at it, it seems that they are soldiers who have taken off their battle armor. Do you have any other plans? ”

Going deep into the camp, you can feel the hidden strength of this force even more. Looking closely at the so-called coachmen and handymen around them, the people who look at them with unruly eyes are hairy in their hearts. Anyone who says they haven't cut down a few people must be talking nonsense with their eyes open.

"I really didn't arrange this, but I can guess who did it."

"Who?"

"It must have been His Majesty Serrandis and the bastards Stafford and Love."

"Oh. What are they going to do? ”

"Of course, to protect the Duke?"

"Protect my father?"

Lin He patiently explained to Avril. At present, in addition to the two field corps sent in 1925 in the early stage, two reserve corps have been arranged to support the southwest province in the entire southwest battlefield. Plus the two corps of the most recent batch.

The entire southwestern province is home to a total of 6 corps units officially established by the Empire. Among them, the 1925 Corps is the main army with full staff, and each corps is about 50,000 people.

The two reserve corps that were responsible for supporting in the early stage were both shelf corps with a serious shortage of quotas, and the actual allocation of each corps was generally the size of three integrated brigades. With such combat power, any contingent on the side of the Trade Federation can cause them big problems.

As for the two legions of the duke's batch, taking the 45th Composite Corps as an example, it is only a configuration of two integrated divisions, which can barely resist a trade federation task force.

Judging from the current situation, the 1925 Legion was dragged to Blackwater City, and according to the previous battle report, in the face of the task force assembled by the Trade Federation, the two legions did not bargain for anything.

According to the arrangement of the Imperial War Department, it should be the 1925 Corps at the front, giving the support troops on the duke's side time to buy time to solve the internal FL forces.
