"So I handed over the logo of the mercenary group to you, and you have been preparing for so long that you drew me this?"

In the army of Black Rock City heading to the Silver Collar Battlefield, Ronan, who was walking in front, looked at the picture in his hand speechlessly.

It was a cat face that occupied most of the picture, and the simple and immature painting style made it mellow and revealing a hint of cuteness, which made Ronan can't help but think of the KT cat in his previous life.

"What did you draw here? Big-faced cats? ”

In the face of his doubts, Elena, who had spent a lot of energy to complete, frowned unhappily.

"It's obviously a lion, isn't it? I've been working the drawing. Elena snatched the picture back from Ronan's hand.

"Don't look at it if you think it's ugly, after all, it's not that the head of the regiment is irresponsible, and he hasn't even prepared the name and logo of the mercenary group, how can he be embarrassed to dislike it."

"That's right." Ronan nodded, not bothering to bother, "Then follow what you draw, from now on this is the symbol of our mercenary group." ”

"Huh?" Elena was startled when she heard this, and thought he had given up on himself.

Hurriedly remedied, "I'm just saying, don't think about it." ”

This should use the logo she painted, and you must not be laughed to death by others when you go out.

"It's too late, we're already in place."

Ronan looked ahead.

After more than a month of long journeys from the Blackstone Trade Road, the first destination of the army, the Silver Collar's Furnace Fort, appeared in front of them.

As far as the eye can see, countless camps have risen from the ground, protected by a fence built of sharp thorns.

Soldiers, merchants, blacksmiths, workers, etc., people of all identities gather here, and the voices of people are boiling, noisy and noisy.

Ronan, Elena, and Marge, the captain of the Blackstone Army, approached here.

A nearby guard stopped them and, after communicating with March, led them into one of the camps.

Then a deep and powerful voice was heard not far away.

"Welcome to Fort Furnace, the recruitment camp of the Silver Collar, responsible for managing the logistics and security of the Northern Province connecting to the battlefield of the Silver Collar."

"At the same time, the Fort is now home to a large number of blacksmiths and craftsmen who are constantly making and maintaining the military supplies needed for the battlefield, from spears, arrows, armor pieces, to trebuchets, ballistas, battering rams, etc., which will be confirmed here and transferred to the front."

Once inside the camp, a burly man in a robe approached them and briefed them on the situation in the Hearthcastle.

"I'm Robson, the commander of the Third Northern Legion in charge of the conscription arrangement, the conscription army in Black Rock City, right, you came at the right time."

Robson picked up the call-up order submitted by March, reviewed it, and nodded happily.

"I'll give you a day to rest, take a break in the vacated second camp, gather at noon tomorrow, I need you to lead a batch of supplies to the Dragon's Back Plain, replenish the army on the frontal battlefield with arrows, go to the head of the armory in the south, Klat, and hand him this."

After receiving the transport slip from the Legion Leader, Black Rock City leader March turned to leave.

"As for you." After he left, Robson looked at Ronan and Elena before finally stopping at Ronan.

He checked the review slip in his hand, which was the review of Ronan's mercenary group in Black Rock City.

It introduces Ronan's identity as a second-order knight and awakened person, as well as the oath to participate in the war.

"Second-Order Awakened, very good, your mercenary group is already qualified to act independently, and you have another option besides helping with logistics and transportation."

Legion Commander Robson pulled out a map and spread it out on the table.

Ronan walked up with Elena and listened to him:

"After a month and a half of conflicts, our side has now engaged in more than three frontal battles with the Dragon's Tooth City army, and more than 30 skirmishes, with casualties on both sides. As of now, the battlefield that is still going on can be divided into three places. ”

"The spacious trade route that once connected the Silver Collar and Dragon's Tooth City, and now the frontal battlefield where the two armies face each other, the Dragonspine Plain."

"Able to pass through the battlefield and flank around the rear of Dragon's Tooth City, but was stopped by the Dirac family's Fang, the western battlefield where the siege is underway, the Twilight River Valley."

"Starting from the central province, the channel of the Valan River, which is responsible for providing material transportation for Dragon's Tooth City, the most critical node city of Wildfire City has been captured by our army, and it is the eastern battlefield that will be counterattacked by the enemy at any time, Valan River Bay."

Robson identified the three most important battlefields on the map.

Then he looked at Ronan, "You can choose one of them to join them, and someone will assign you a special task when you get there." ”

After listening to his introduction, Ronan basically understood the situation.

The Dragon's Back Plain, where the frontal battlefield gathers most of the soldiers of both sides, and tens of thousands of troops gather there to fight.

The Twilight Valley in the western battlefield is a small-scale siege battle due to the terrain of the valley, and the capture of Fort Sharp Fang allows you to go around the enemy's rear.

The Eastern Battlefield is to cut off Dragon's Tooth City's logistical supply lines from the Central Province, and has now captured the most critical Wildfire City, followed by the battle to defend the city.

Ronan thought about where he was going, the Dragon's Back Plain didn't think about it, the battlefield of the 10,000-strong army was chaotic, and it was difficult for him to control the situation.

The Twilight Valley was too small, sparsely populated, and not many soldiers went to war.

One of Ronan's purposes in coming to the battlefield was to test the effects of the Holy Blood Parasite.

After thinking about it, he decided to head to Valan River Bay and take part in the defense of Wildfire City.

Upon receiving his reply, Legion Commander Robson nodded.

He took out his seal and tapped it on his review slip and handed it to Ronan.

"Put it away, this is an important document to prove your identity, you need to go to Wildfire City and report to the person in charge there within three days, otherwise it will be treated as a deserter."

After leaving the tent with the checklist in his arms, Ronan led Elena across the barracks and into the Fort of the Hearth.

The bustling crowds of people gathered in the streets, accompanied by the sound of blacksmiths striking iron and the shouts of stall owners on both sides of the street.

"It's so lively here." Elena looked curiously at the merchandise they had laid out.

Weapons and armor, herbal concoctions, gold jewelry, oil painting dresses, etc., she was dazzled and wanted to buy many things.

"Most of them are loot from the battlefield, don't buy anything here." Ronan looked at it twice and then turned away.

The merchandise here was not aimed at the soldiers who were about to participate in the battlefield, but at the merchants and nobles who were attracted to it.

According to the agreement signed between the mercenary group and the nobles, they were able to share a share of the spoils of the war, ranging from thirty to seventy percent.

That being said, the actual loot is always an unknown.

I'm afraid that there are a lot of mercenary groups here who are secretly selling and selling stolen goods in advance.
