The small mercenary group's council hall was quickly filled with people - Amy quickly summoned the main cadres of the various mercenary battalions. In order to improve the training effect of each battalion, the small mercenary group is currently using a new set of formations, with a captain set up a commander, and each commander manages 10 troops. This is slightly different from the Imperial Formation, where all the warrior battalions of the small mercenary regiment are managed and trained by Qu as the backbone unit. This time the cadres were summoned to be mercenaries above the rank of Qu Chang.

There were more than 50 people sitting in the black press in the conference hall, and most of the mercenary battalions were conducting large-scale sports training just now, and their young and swarthy faces were covered with sweat. The mercenary cadres didn't know what was going on, and asked each other in a low voice. In the past two months, in order to allow new mercenaries to integrate into the small mercenary group as soon as possible, Amy has almost given up all small tasks and tried her best to train newcomers, so in addition to the weekly training course adjustment, there will not be time for so many cadres to sit down, it is estimated that something happened.

The chief officer in charge of the mercenary group's training was Da Qingshan, and he had just finished telling the information he had gotten, and the teenagers of the small mercenary group could barely believe their ears, and everyone was exchanging opinions with their partners, this chaotic scene was unprecedented. Horns wanted to stand up and reprimand loudly, but Daqingshan pulled his sleeve to stop it.

The more than 30 Qu commanders, more than 10 captains, and vice captains here, except for the Berserker Battalion and the Knight Battalion, are all small mercenaries who came out of Xilin Island without exception. Everyone here has a brother, subordinate, superior, friend or lover who has fallen outside Xilin Island, who is the culprit? Isn't it the ugly orcs hiding under the white sails? The excitement of the teenagers can be imagined.

After the empire arranged for a small mercenary group to be stationed in the Broken Ice Harbor, there were some strange voices brewing among the mercenaries, and several young mercenaries whose relatives had fallen in the dense forests of southern Xinjiang even plotted to break away from the mercenary group and return to the vicinity of Xilin Island to attack the troops of the Fanos Continent, if it weren't for Balbas to mediate as his father, Chi Aotian, who was in charge of the mercenary group alone, would hardly be able to control the situation.

"Captain!" a delicate voice sounded, and a young girl in a blue neutral magic robe stood up. Hearing the voice, most people immediately guessed what this girl from the frozen snow field wanted to say - in the battle of Xilin Island, her brother-in-law, as the commander of the Great Swordsman Battalion, broke through the mercenary group for a bloody road, and fell to the red earth after breaking through two thousand people in a row, and found that there were a total of 15 wounds on the young man's body when collecting the body. The girl named Zhaolan's lips trembled and she just shouted two words, tears flowed down her face, crying silently, Lin Yushang hurriedly stood up, she is now a guest teacher of the Demon Sword Camp, among the many disciples, this girl who is four years younger than herself has left a deep impression on people with her stubbornness, looking at the tearful face like a pear blossom in the rain, she wiped away the tears that fell for her in distress.

In a low cry, the girl barely spoke: "When I was a year old, my father was attacked and killed in the Trial Cave to take the Imperial Mage to the Ice Begging Tower, and when I was seven years old, my mother died. My brother and I depend on each other, and I want to avenge my brother......"

As soon as they heard these words, Amy and Balbas were shocked, and both of them showed incredible expressions.

"Kid, your father is also a border guard, and he is also from the Glacier Infantry Brigade?" Barbas couldn't believe that there were any descendants of Paize that he didn't know about in the small mercenary group.

The girl nodded: "That's what my mother said, my father's name is Shao Yanlan." ”

In front of so many teenagers, the middle-aged man with blooming sideburns helplessly stretched out his left hand and gently rubbed his eyebrows in an attempt to hide his excited expression, but the crystal luster through his fingers exposed the fragile side of the middle-aged man.

A moment later, the middle-aged man let out a long sigh that did not match his age: "Alas, I know your father, back then, Captain Amy's father was the captain of the Glacier Infantry Brigade, and your father and I were both soldiers under his command......"

Most of the little mercenary group knew that this was already an ancient story, and the old sorrow that had been turned up resonated reverberated in the hall.

"The despicable grass wolf always attacks the good flock in the night. Most of the prairie jīng spirits like to quote the prairie proverb in their conversations, especially in public, and Gelsu, who has become one of the main leaders of the small mercenary group, quoted the most well-known proverb on the prairie in his anger: "The soul of the noble jīng spirit will not disappear in vain, Your Excellency, I ask to stop these inferior beasts!"

Seeing someone taking the lead, there was a loud roar from the crowd, and the berserker Detian jumped out on the shoulders of his companions: "Commander, we berserkers haven't fought yet, this time we must be sent first!

The performance of the berserker group immediately triggered the concerted action of the largest group of swordsmen in the hall, and the fifteen or sixteen young men of the Great Swordsman Battalion stood up neatly as they looked at the eyes of the deputy captain......

Before the teenagers of the Great Swordsman Battalion could speak, their actions caused all the young people in the hall to stand up in an instant......

Looking at the irrepressible impulse under the young faces of the teenagers, Amy slapped the table hard, and the room quickly fell silent: "Everyone is very powerful now, if it is really so powerful, the small mercenary group will not be beaten and run away by others in the first battle on Xilin Island." ”

"Well, I agree with Horns. Daqingshan stood up and opened the detailed map of the Broken Ice Port that the small mercenary group had just drawn recently - this is also a lesson in blood, in the battle of Xilin Island, after the small mercenary group escaped from the tiger's mouth, it found that if it attacked the side of the Xiusi Empire first and then took the Holy Snow Mountain, the loss would definitely be much smaller. It's a pity that before that, due to the principle of abiding by national borders, I didn't know much about the close Xiusi Empire, and I didn't even have a complete map, so I couldn't run if I wanted to.

"I think that the Phanos soldiers may use this method to attack: they come by sea, go outside the range of the Broken Ice Harbor, that is, about 50 li ~ 100 li, get off the ship and attack by land, and I think, the number of people they attack by land will not be too many, estimated at about 1,000 or 2,000 people, if the number is large, it will inevitably be discovered by the inhabitants of the empire, we should have known it a long time ago. Daqingshan pointed to the map.

"What if they disguise themselves as Imperial soldiers? Chi Aotian asked rhetorically.

"No way. Daqingshan categorically denied it. "First, the transfer of thousands of troops must have a warrant from the military headquarters, otherwise it will be difficult to pass through the checkpoints of the garrisons in various places, and second, even if they stay overnight and try to be secretive, the appearance of the Fanos soldiers is too prominent to be discovered by the inhabitants. I think they must have used quite a few human soldiers as a base layer to deceive the garrisons this time. And judging by the war on the banks of the Lion River, the opposing side will not have more than 1,500 human soldiers. ”

"I also agree that the other side will use disguised surprise attacks. Amy scratched her hair, then added, "Since we're going to ambush, let's do it more simply." Directly put the other party in the city, close the door and beat the dog. Have the original city swordsman battalion collect complete ice blocks from the ice harbor, spread ice blocks along the main roads along the city gates, and let the ice swordsmen of the magic swordsman camp solidify the ice. The enemies are mostly from the tropics south of the continent, and I don't believe they are more familiar with ice and snow than the people of the small mercenary group. In addition, the archers were divided into half to occupy the high points in the city, and the sniper fencers began to familiarize themselves with the houses in order to make it easier to fight in case the enemy broke in. In order to prevent the enemy from assisting in the attack, all the fishing boats in the harbor were pulled ashore, and this time of year was also a fishing holiday, and the other party would not suspect it. Throw some expensive fishing boats into the sea, put firewood and kerosene on them, and set them on fire as soon as the enemy attacks......"

As a father, Balbas leaned happily back in his chair and watched the four big boys in front of him turn Broken Ice City into a death trap while laughing...... As a grassroots officer of the Empire, he rarely participated in such high-level campaign deployments when he was in the Glacier Infantry Brigade, but judging from some of the tasks that were laid down from above in the past, the deployments made by the Imperial Jīng Rui troops before the regular war were nothing more than that. It can be seen from this that these children and nephews have indeed grown up.

As the boys were talking, someone outside the door came to report that the captain of the swordsman battalion of Broken Ice City and the captain of the knight squad directly under the city lord had arrived.

According to the establishment of the emperor's ** team, the local swordsman battalion is lower in level than a large mercenary group above B, and once a large mercenary group is allowed by the military department to be stationed in a certain city, it will automatically take over the defense of the area and have the right to expand, shrink or even cancel non-active troops. After entering the Broken Ice Harbor, the small mercenary group has been busy training new mercenaries, and has not made any adjustments to the original swordsman battalion.

"Captain Amy, oh, several deputy heads are here, hello everyone, I don't know what to tell my brother to come here. The squadron leader of the swordsman battalion, Guigui, greeted everyone politely.

Guigui is a young man in his 30s, who turned out to be a squad leader in the Imperial Gyeonggi War Zone, and after the outbreak of the war, in order to strengthen the defense near Dìdū, he was promoted to half a rank and transferred to the squadron leader of the swordsman battalion, and he arrived at the Broken Ice Port more than 4 months earlier than the small mercenary group. It turned out to be directly under the command of Marquis Chi Hanfeng, so he had a special affection for the small mercenary group, and his words revealed a politeness that was rarely seen among the soldiers.

The captain of the knight squad was the opposite, a young man named Rinca with the title of Earl, just 25 years old. It is also rare to be able to become the head of the earl's family at such a young age. According to the eldest lady Lin Yushang at the aristocratic dinner held in the city, the Linka family was ruined, and his father's family was already very poor, and his father successively borrowed as much as 600,000 gold coins from the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs, in order to repay this huge amount of gold coins, he was not allowed to enter the army, and died in a border conflict a few years ago. It was precisely because of the sacrifice of his life for the country that according to the decree of the imperial nobility, the Rinca family was exempted from repaying the loan, and Rinca inherited the title of count.

The small mercenary group took over the defense of the Broken Ice Harbor and not everyone was happy, and the team directly under the city lord that suffered the most direct losses was the one who suffered the most.

The knight squad directly under the city lord is subordinate to the city lord, which can be regarded as a legal private armed force specially set up by the emperor ** department for the city lord, the size shall not exceed 200 people, and the city lord will pay the salary directly from the local taxes of the city, there is no doubt that in any city, the knight squad directly under the city lord is only loyal to the city lord.

In a commercial city like Broken Ice Harbor, because commerce is completely seasonal, there has never been a large mercenary group set up a branch here, especially in winter, chūn, and summer, and it is almost impossible to see mercenary groups in Broken Ice Harbor. Most of the escort work in the city is done by the knight team directly under the city lord, and the dividends are quite generous. The arrival of the small mercenary group has deprived these young warriors of their only way to make extra money, and it is inevitable that there will be strange voices in private.

When they heard that the alien armed forces suddenly cut in, the reactions of the two people were diametrically opposed, the noble ghost was almost the same as most of the members of the small mercenary group, and the surprised expression on his face quickly turned into ecstasy, for a soldier, especially a regular officer, who was transferred to a reserve officer, the only thought now was to return to the jīng sharp army as soon as possible, even if it was a demotion, this time was undoubtedly a very rare opportunity. Count Linca showed a hint of fear behind his expression of disbelief.
