85_85536 In this way, the fifteen hundred guards, a mixture of reservists and peasants under the command of William and Shalumi, slowly advanced towards the east, the town captured by the rebel army.

Despite the encouragement of the chaplains, the morale of the army cannot be said to be low. But because the snow melted and the roads became muddy, the army did not march very fast.

And in addition, it is the baggage, the overwhelming lack of luggage and materials.

In William's impression, the so-called army should be prepared and strong. To put it in the vernacular, it means that the army itself must bring enough dry food to eat for at least half a month. It was necessary to have a large number of baggage teams accompanying the army, and enough cattle and carts to turn the entire legion into mules and horses. When camping, you should desperately shovel the earth, cut down wood, and then make a one-man high parapet wall, hang it tightly, and do not collect your horses at night to prevent the enemy from harassing and attacking. The barracks should be filled with a large number of tents and supplies, just like a small city.

It's just a pity that in this situation, William can only think about these things.

He didn't have enough men with the army...... Or those who were temporarily conscripted, the peasants and soldiers who were originally expected to be the people's husbands were really not good.

They have no formal training. Unable to work as a scout. The vast majority of them have night blindness and have no way to stay overnight. Knowing how to do earthwork, and more importantly, not having enough shovels and axes, let alone professional sapper shovels and saws, to allow them to build the hard and thick fortress that William wanted, is basically a fantasy.

In fact, the soldiers did not even have enough tents, enough mattresses, sleeping bags, and even clothing. As for the substitution of manpower, the transportation of heavy animals. In the army, there is also a lack of strictness.

Because of the need to prepare for spring ploughing, the vast majority of the peasants were reluctant to contribute their large livestock, that is, horses and mules. As I said before, the vast majority of farms in the world use horse farming. Horses and mules could not move at all.

And those horses can't move, and the horses of the private guards can't move. William's prestige was not high enough to command these cavalrymen and use their beloved mounts as cattlemen.

There were only a handful of carts, a handful of cattle - and most of that handful were donkeys. There are also people who contribute a small number of cattle - all beef cattle, of course. Originally, it was going to be raised to kill and eat meat. He has little activity and has never done the work of pulling a cart.

Therefore, the vast majority of baggage can only be transported by manpower.

I watched the peasants and soldiers carry two sacks and walk with a hum. William felt helpless. And after seeing the soldiers sleeping in the muddy water after a day's journey, this feeling of helplessness is even deeper.

There was no stronghold. In fact, there is no protection at all. There are no sentry posts on duty. William once asked. The answer was the strange stare of the cavalrymen of the Private Guard, "What is this guy talking about?" inexplicably. This made William quite worried, yes, that the other side, that is, the rebels who were his enemies, could not launch a night attack under any circumstances. Because their night blindness is stricter than their own. They also did not have a well-organized and well-armed soldier to accomplish this task.

But what about later. In the aftermath of this war, what about other enemies? It is said that there are quite a few strange creatures that have night vision in their own right. What should you do when you fight these enemies?

William tried to relax as much as possible, and not to think about these things that he couldn't solve for the time being. At least, at least, at least his soldiers had warm clothing and enough food. Although there were not enough axes and saws to cut enough wood to build a camp. But cutting enough firewood to keep a fire warm and cook food is enough.

His enemies, on the other hand, lacked food and clothing. There was not enough firewood to keep warm - in fact, at his behest, the chaplains were using the light of the fire to spread the word to the soldiers. And as it turns out, it really works. When the soldiers heard about these things, they burst into laughter. There is no mercy at all.

"Really...... Is it worse than that?" William thought to himself, leaning against the tree, watching this scene.

"It's not at all a pleasure......" he said, holding out his hand to bake the fire. Although the temperature is gradually rising. But the spring nights are still cold.

It was at this time, leaning next to William, that the half-asleep and half-awake Charlumi leaned over his head and fell on his shoulder.

"Are you asleep? I'm quite energetic during the day. William turned his head to look at Charlumie. Then he stretched out his finger and poked her face.

The skin feels very nice and soft. Press it and you'll fall in. And Xia Lumi, who was treated like this, had no other response except for Ahh

"It's so cute. William couldn't help but sigh like this. Then he wrapped the blanket around the two of them a little tighter. The body is also leaning more towards Charlumi. Then closed his eyes:

"Speaking of which, at least today, this time, this war. I'm not going to lose. ”

Thinking of this, William couldn't help but smile. Then, it was quiet and ready for bed.

He and Charlumi snuggled up to each other, wrapped in a blanket, and leaned against the fire for the night.

Although it sounds quite romantic. But the actual effect is terrible.

When William woke up the next morning, he felt that his body was not feeling well anywhere. It was as if the cold had seeped directly into his bones. If it weren't for the fact that his fighting spirit had been activated and automatically warmed his body, then he would have to fall to the root of the disease if he came twice again. When you get older, it will rain on a cloudy day, and you will have joint pain in your bones.

"Therefore, the fighting spirit still has to be cultivated well. It's good not to do anything else, but to keep yourself alive for a longer time. After waking Shalumi up, William lifted the blanket, stretched out his arms and legs, and moved his body, which had slept all night, while his body had stiffened.

It was at this time that Father Peter approached him. After saluting and greeting, he reached over with his palm, which shimmered with a soft white light, and waved it lightly in front of William. After that, all of William's discomfort disappeared. The feeling of clammy and cold in the cracks of the bones, the fatigue of not sleeping well, and the soreness of the muscles caused by the wrong posture. All disappeared in an instant. The body was instantly restored to its best state.

"Are you better, Mr. William?"

"Thank you, Father. William hurriedly saluted him. At the same time, he had a higher evaluation of his strength - the level of the divine art just now was probably not too high. But like him, he can lift a weight lightly, and he can be inspired by a casual wave of his hand, and some of the bishops in William's impression may not have this ability.

"No thanks, Mr. William. After all, I'm part of this army, am I?" the priest didn't say anything like the will of the Lord. This answer also made William's heart very comfortable. And after saying this, Father Peter went to Charlumie again, and concocted the same thing. Charlumi, who had received the benefits, was much more interested than William. Father Peter's thanks were also more sincere.

But William had a feeling. That's Father Peter's attitude towards her, not as good as his attitude towards himself. It's more like a routine. It may even be a last resort - since he did this to William, then he had to do this to Charlumie. Otherwise, there will be a problem with one over the other - that's what it feels like.

"It's clear that Xia Lumi is the actual commander of this army. And also a countess. Why would he do this?" William's doubts deepened. I couldn't help frowning, and looked at Father Peter with a scrutinizing gaze.

Father Peter, who had his back to him, seemed to perceive the scrutinizing gaze from behind William. He then turned around, smiled at him and nodded. And then he left.

"Hey, William William. Then Charlumi came over and looked excited:

"I never knew that guy was so good at magic. ”

"Yes. William replied, "So...... You haven't forgotten what I told you before, what to pay attention to, right?"

"Hmm. Hearing William say this, Xia Lumi also retracted her excited expression: "Yes, this guy is a little strange......" She is not stupid. If it weren't for William's reminder, forget it. But since William's reminder, it is natural that he will not fail to notice that something is wrong with this priest.

"Anyway, pay attention...... Also, don't show anything different...... Forget it, it doesn't matter if the table xiàn comes out. Thinking of Charlumi's personality and the question of ability, William didn't force it in the end.

That's it. Three days. William and Charlumie, along with their fifteen-hundred-thousand-man army, traveled about thirty kilometers. This is not too fast, and certainly not too slow, so that William can barely accept it. And the opposite. The horses reported that their opponents, the outcasts, had traveled only half as far as they had in three days.

The distance between the two sides is already very close. It was so close that they could smell each other in the smoke and the smell of cooked food.

If it weren't for the fact that the time of the encounter was close to evening, then the two sides would have already started fighting.

As for now, it is true that it cannot be fought. Both sides are to be busy setting up camp and making fires and cooking. Take a break. Wait until that's done. Night will fall. When the time comes, you can only rest. And after the rest, the next day, it was time for the two sides to fight
