Chapter 60: On the March

Because of the tensions in the four southwestern provinces, there is hardly a pedestrian on the road to Limburg, especially in the dark of night.

Dwarves and elves generally have better eyesight at night, and by the faint light of the stars, even if they don't light the torches they carry with them, the gang is still walking on the ground.

Lin He, who was riding on a war horse, saw this situation and just urged the human cavalry to move to the back of the team. This way the whole team was completely hidden in the darkness.

"Regiment commander, there is a security checkpoint five kilometers ahead, and a squad of city defense troops is stationed. The wolf cavalry who went out to guard sent someone over to ask what to do? ”

The orc leader rode a wolf out of the grass on the side, which frightened the head of Lin He. Feelings, these guys have never walked the right path, and they are cringe at all times.

"Tell the wolf cavalry not to make contact with the sentry soldiers, Staff, you take a team of cavalry to deal with it!"

Ten minutes later, the entire logistics battalion had passed through the first checkpoint encountered along the way, and had now entered the defense zone of Huska.

It wasn't until the last cavalry had passed through the outpost that Stave signaled his men to open the barracks on the side of the road and release the entire squad of city defenders.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation, when it comes to the security of the empire, I hope that the news passed by our ministry can be kept strictly confidential, otherwise the military law team will help you forget."

"Your Excellency General, our ministry guarantees to carry out the wartime secrecy regulations, please rest assured!"

Stafford was very satisfied with the performance of the team leader, if it weren't for the fact that this guy wasn't too familiar, he would have planned to recruit the mercenary group. Thinking about it, seeing that the team had already gone far, Stafford did not delay any longer, and left with his men.

"Captain, what kind of people are these, they don't look like ordinary troops!" A curious soldier leaned over and asked.

"I don't know, but it's certainly not an ordinary unit, judging by the friction of the armor, this force is very well equipped." The squad leader is also a veteran, and when the troops passed just now, he actually had a feeling of fear in his heart.

………………

The sky in the distance was already bright, and the logistics battalion marching on the provincial highway had been on the night road for six or seven hours without sleep. Now the whole team is sleepy, hungry, and in need of a stop to recuperate.

The wolf cavalry who had come out on guard had another good news, there was a low-lying beach at the corner of the river ahead, just enough to hide the entire army, and the wolf cavalry had searched carefully, and no living humans were found.

If you don't see a living human, you see a dead human. These guys won't even let go of the dead, are they going to run out to make soup and drink?

The commander of the regiment, who had been on the road all night, was not very good-tempered, and ordered the wolf cavalry to sweep the surrounding area of five kilometers, making sure that there were only dead people and no living people.

The entire logistics battalion soon hid deep into the river bay, where the terrain was gentle and overgrown with tall trees, and it was indeed a good place to use it for Tibetans.

After settling the troops, Lin He held a routine military meeting. According to the measured distance on the map, they traveled a total of 120 kilometers this time.

The current location is southeast of Huska, forty kilometers from Huska. After passing through Huska, they also need to pass through Annecy, Burano, Fussen and Tate along the way. The first two cities belong to the province of Kot, and the roads of the Greywater River are not very close to each other.

"Commander, if we march day and night, we can advance about 150 kilometers a night, which is also the limit of our march. The rest of the distance will take us about five days. ”

"yes, it's still too long."

"But Captain, look!" Stave measured the distance on the map with his hand and gave the regimental leader an idea.

At present, there are about 350 kilometres remaining in the province of Kot, and the conditions for the march should be able to be guaranteed. If the daytime march is adopted, this distance can be covered in about a day and a half after a forced march.

Don't look at Deputy Captain Staff, who is usually a rough man, once it comes to marching and fighting, the whole person is like a different person, and he is completely a wise general with troops.

"What do you mean?"

"Commander, didn't you already guess it!" Staffe nodded, indicating that the regimental leader's thoughts were what he wanted to say.

"The troops will be repaired in place for five hours, and after the march I will give you five hundred light cavalry to open the way and implement traffic control in the name of military exercises. When the troops pass, I need a temporary no-man's land with a radius of five kilometers, and if there are not enough people, I will let Quint's wolf cavalry cooperate with you! ”

"No problem, Captain!"

"Then let's dismiss the meeting, let's get busy!"

In the evening.

Benson, commander of Huska's city defense, received a report from the guards outside the city that this afternoon there was a logistics battalion of the 45 th Army Corps conducting exercises on the provincial highway along the Greywater River, and the distance was under martial law for hundreds of kilometers along the way.

The caravans encountered along the way were briefly detained, and the documents presented indicated that they were a logistics force carrying out the delivery of supplies.

The troops who came forward to negotiate with the city defense army were also detained, and there were even skirmishes that caused serious injuries to five of their own soldiers and minor injuries to more than 40 soldiers.

According to the report of the soldiers involved, the combat effectiveness of these logistics soldiers is extremely strong, and the equipment is also a rare non-standard equipment of the empire. A few of them brought down several times as many of their own soldiers.

The military governor on duty asked the commander of the city defense how to deal with it and whether he would report the matter to the governor.

Looking at the report in his hand, Baron Benson wanted to beat the fool again. The 45th Legion, which is the direct legion of the Duke, and the commanders of the Legion are all his own sons.

Although the logistics battalion to which it belonged was a little arrogant, it was also understandable. In case this unit is a special unit on a secret mission, and the logistics battalion is just a code name, then these guys under his command will not cause trouble for themselves.

Besides, this matter must not be taken care of by their own side, the city defense army just found trouble with the regular army on the mission, and it must be the guy under his command who collected the protection fee of the deducted merchant group, and planned to stand out for the merchant group before he was taught a lesson.

It's really a bunch of guys who don't know whether to live or die, and it seems that these guys were too indulgent to pile up before. If you continue like this, you may be able to cause a big disaster for yourself that day.

"Guards, inform me that all the officers on duty in the Greywater River area yesterday were all locked up for a week."

"Commander, your wife's seventh uncle's nephew happened to be on duty yesterday, and this will have a broken leg and is lying in the hospital!"

"That's right. Then break his other two legs and send them in! ”
