Chapter 486: Return to the Legion

Wang Yong, Shadow Dance and Qingling lay on the top of the small hill behind the material base and looked at it for a while, and saw that the base below was already in a sea of fire, and there was no possibility of being extinguished, so they went down the mountain with confidence and returned to their territory through the teleportation point hidden in the mountain.

When the news reached the palace, the emperor of the Eternal Empire was so angry that he fainted on the spot.

When the Emperor woke up, he was furious and ordered all the defenders of the logistics base to be imprisoned, and sent the Royal Guards to the logistics base to thoroughly investigate the cause of the fire.

After getting a definite return, the cause of the fire in the logistics base was that someone maliciously set the fire, and after a large number of materials had been stolen before the fire, after discussion and analysis, and combined with the news about Ou Nuo sent by Master Malthus, the imperial capital alchemy firm last night, finally all the officials in the Imperial Palace of the Eternal Empire agreed that the matter of the material base was definitely done by Ou Nuo or Xihami.

The Emperor of the Eternal Empire was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the whole country, and he must find the location of Sihami and Ernold, and if they were caught, they would be killed on the spot without trial.

These Wang Yong didn't know, if he knew, Wang Yong would probably be laughed to death, but he didn't expect that one of his unintentional mistakes would successfully divert the attention of the Eternal Empire, which was also a big windfall.

After Wang Yong returned to the territory, he did not immediately return to the border, but helped mobilize people to carry a large amount of materials, and for a while, almost all the people in the entire asphalt Hu base came to help.

After a preliminary count, the various grains harvested this time were about enough for 100,000 people to eat for half a year, but the logistics warehouse could no longer hold the grain, so most of the grain had to be transferred to the Forest Cave Mansion.

The rest of the harvest is basically weapons, armor, ballistas, crossbows and other military equipment, according to Oroni's estimates, these weapons and armor can be equipped with at least 20,000 people.

However, what made Wang Yong depressed was that these were all the standard equipment of the Eternal Empire. Both weapons and various types of armor are marked prominently. Suffice it to say, if you equip your troops with these equipment without modifications, you will find that when you encounter the enemy, you will find that the armor of both sides is exactly the same, and if there is a scuffle, it will be absolutely difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.

This drawback made Wang Yong, who was originally very excited, wilt all of a sudden, and originally thought that he could arm all the troops in his hands now, but seeing that the chest of both leather armor and metal plate armor was printed with the mark of a huge griffin representing the Eternal Empire, Wang Yong's heart became cold. It is possible to erase the marks bit by bit, but that takes time. And it's not a short time, and the most lacking thing in the territory now is time.

While Wang Yong was worried about the equipment that he could get but couldn't use, Connie and Luisa came to Wang Yong's side, saying that they could use dye to change the color of the leather armor, so that they could distinguish between friend and foe.

Wang Yong was overjoyed when he heard this, and after careful inquiry, he learned that even if Connie and the others kept dyeing, the 20,000 sets of leather armor could not be completed in a short time, and in the end it was Luisa who proposed. You can dye the most obvious upper body armor first, and leave the other parts as they are for the time being, and then recycle and reprocess them when you have time later. While this method also doesn't allow all of the leather armor to be modified before the outbreak of war, it is at least much more efficient. Able to equip more soldiers before the war comes.

In the end, Wang Yong decided to let Connie take people to dye leather armor, no matter how efficient it was, before the war came. Equip all the leather armor to the soldiers in the territory, even if it is not dyed, and it is a big deal to have the soldiers tie some strips of red cloth to their chests or heads at the beginning of the fight to distinguish them. It's not safe, but it's better than having soldiers in defenseless cloth and slashing at people.

As for the more than 3,000 sets of heavy plate armor in this harvested equipment, they were also simply processed by dyeing, using a highly sticky dye to paint the cuirass black, and then all of them were transferred to Mu Sen to equip his hoplites.

Wang Yong handed over the Star Iron he got from Maureen to Regan, and asked him to make as many large-capacity Spiritual Void Rings as possible to relieve the pressure of logistics and transportation.

In the end, Wang Yong received 4,000 sets of brand-new Eternal Empire-style leather armor and weapons, as well as armor and supporting maintenance oil specially made for officers at all levels in some of the territory, as well as two carts of red linen, and returned to the provincial border with Shadow Dance and Light Spirit.

When Wang Yong and the three returned to the camp of the Fifth Light Infantry Regiment out of the border, it was already noon, and all the soldiers did not return to the barracks for lunch at this time, but like a march, they temporarily set up a pot outside the barracks and ate a marching meal.

Wang Yong was not picky, found Fuller and Harvey and others, ate a mouthful of noodle soup to fill his stomach, and then asked him about the results of his training this day.

Fuller said that although there were still many people who did not persevere in the whole day of training yesterday, the situation this morning was much better than yesterday, especially those officers, not a single one was left behind, and the training was particularly hard.

Because of Wang Yong's words, the soldiers were also scrambling to be the first in training, and they all wanted to perform better in front of Fuller and Harvey and others, so they had good physical strength, and often left their teams far behind when they ran, and in the end, even the establishment of the entire army was chaotic, divided into three echelons: front, middle, and rear.

Fuller did not express any dissatisfaction or concern when he said this, but was very satisfied with the performance of these officers and soldiers, and did not ask too much about maintaining the complete formation of each formation, because Wang Yong only wanted to train his physical fitness and make the soldiers run faster.

Wang Yong drank the last mouthful of noodle soup, put down the bowl and asked the three Harvey who were lying on the side resting with a smile: "How is it? Can you still hold on?"

Harvey sat up and shook off his sweat-soaked placket, and said with great certainty: "No problem, boss, don't worry, we will definitely not embarrass you." ”

George pouted and said, "You just say it nicely, and you don't know who has been left behind." Then there was a smug face and said to Wang Yong: "Boss, I have always been at the front." ”

Gibbon said with a disdainful face: "You lead the fart, if it weren't for Kit's guys who were embarrassed to overtake you, you would have been dumped a long time ago." ”

George was unconvinced and said, "Impossible, even Kit's boys can outrun me?"

Gibbon pointed to a few soldiers not far away who had just eaten and were now practicing chopping with wooden swords and said, "Look at the people, they haven't done anything all morning, and now they still have the strength to practice, look at you again, I almost didn't get tired to crawl back just now." ”

George looked at the Kitts that Gibbon was referring to, scratched his head and said to himself, "Are those boys really letting me?"

Wang Yong smiled and said: "No matter what, you have to hold on to me anyway, after the training is over, you still have to lead the troops, you must not let the soldiers under your command look down on you, thinking that you can only be officers by relying on relationships." Although the three Harvey were already prepared in their hearts, but when they heard Wang Yong personally say that they would become officers, the three Harvey were still inevitably excited, and George, who had the most straightforward personality, was even more screaming, shouting to start the afternoon training quickly.

When everyone had gone out to eat and rest, Wang Yong whispered a few words to Shadow Dance and Light Spirit, who had changed into black robes, and Shadow Dance and Light Spirit nodded, asked Fuller for two horses, and left the barracks and headed north.

Fuller knew their identities and was very familiar with them, and when he saw them leaving at this time, he looked at Wang Yong in puzzlement.

Wang Yong smiled and said to Fuller: "Gather the logistics troops in a while, bring all the vehicles, and let's go pull the equipment." After saying that, he squeezed his eyes at Fuller.

Fuller was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a look of disbelief: "Really, how did you get the equipment so quickly?" Wang Yong put his arm around Fuller's shoulders and muttered a brief account of the looting of the logistics base of the Eternal Empire, which made Fuller laugh vigorously, and said that this was just right, using their equipment to cut down the people who watched them.

When George heard that there was equipment, he was so excited that he waved his hands into fists like a bear splashed with sulfuric acid, and shouted to tell the nearby soldiers and officers the news, and then Mao recommended himself to ask for the errand of assembling the logistics troops, and along the way, George said to whoever he saw, 'We will have equipment soon', and conveyed this exciting good news to the entire legion in the shortest possible time.

Not long after George left, the officers came from all directions, gathered around Wang Yong and Fuller, and asked if what George said was true. After Wang Yong gave an affirmative reply and learned that everyone had been assigned equipment tonight, everyone was boiling, cheering while bringing the good news back to their own unit.

As soon as the rest time ended, all the soldiers couldn't wait to start the afternoon training, but in order to boost morale, Wang Yong and Fuller discussed, and the afternoon training was changed from running around the barracks to running to the equipment storage place ten miles north of the barracks.

All the soldiers and officers ran wildly, overtaking the wagons of the logistics troops on the way, and it took less than twenty minutes to get to the location of the equipment. The soldiers looked at the brand-new weapons and leather armor stacked on the grass, and each one had a foolish angelic smile on his face.

Because they were reluctant to leave and could not delay the training, under the leadership of George and other first-echelon soldiers, more than 3,000 people ran around the hill with many pieces of equipment. Because everyone's eyes are fixed on the equipment they dream of, there are often people who accidentally knock down the person in front of them or are knocked down by the person behind them, but they don't care, and after getting up, they still watch the equipment continue to run in circles.
