Arthur's Six and the cavalry battalion galloped east, and their destination was Twilight, the largest city on the Terran Northwest Frontier.

The cavalry battalion will pick up the convoy carrying supplies to the Legion in Twilight and return to the Frostmine Legion station. In normal times, the escort force of the transport convoy is enough to protect the safe delivery of the convoy, and Arthur's cavalry battalion is because of the temporary increase in the escort force after the last robbery of the transport convoy.

The military supply mechanism of the Isaac Kingdom is quite different from that of other Terran countries, and all military supplies are not uniformly rationed by the kingdom. Instead, the kingdom pays half of the military expenses according to the size of the 100,000-strong army, and then the major legions use the military funds to purchase food, weapons and equipment and other materials from several large trading houses in the kingdom.

As for the other half of the military spending, several Grand Dukes paid it from the revenues of their own domains. Therefore, the four major field legions except for the Blizzard Legion are almost equivalent to the private armies of the Grand Dukes, while the Blizzard Legion and the Praetorian Guard Legion are the private armies of the royal family.

This is the ruling pattern of the Beland continent, where the king and the nobles rule the country together. The king canonized part of the territory to the nobility, who enjoyed the territorial benefits while assuming the responsibility of defending the kingdom and the king.

After the Legion procures supplies from the Comptoir, the Merchant House will deliver the supplies to a relatively safe city in the rear of the Legion, while the last relatively dangerous leg will be delivered by the Legion itself with troops.

The last time the Blizzard Corps was robbed was during a later journey.

Traveling all the way, it took the cavalry battalion a whole day to reach Twilight, three hundred miles away.

The transport convoy has already been handed over to the trading house, and if it weren't for the cavalry battalion, I'm afraid it would have already been on the road. Arthur and the others stayed in Twilight for one night before departing with the convoy the next day.

The convoy out of the city lined up in a long queue of a hundred huge wagons pulled by musk oxen. The cart was loaded with food and meat for the daily consumption of the legion, as well as some standard military equipment.

A legion of 100,000 men consumes nearly 100 tons of grain and 40 or 50 tons of meat every day, and the food transported by this convoy is barely enough to sustain the legion for a week.

To maintain such a huge consumption, the huge amount of military expenditure can be imagined. The quartermaster department of any army is a fat and oily department, and if you want to buckle some seams, the money you will be greedy will be uncountable.

The 500 soldiers in charge of the escort of this transport convoy were originally a reinforced battalion of the Quartermaster Department, and now with the addition of this cavalry battalion sent by Sino, the escort force has reached 800 people.

With such a large scale of escort force, unless they encounter the regular troops of the orcs, the bandits of the ordinary human race and the hunting team of the orcs have to walk around when they encounter it. It was difficult for the regular troops of the orcs to bypass the scouts of the Frost Thunder Legion and run to the rear to rob the troops' transport convoys, which caused Shino to suspect the last robbery.

The musk oxen were slow to move after pulling the goods, and the cavalry battalion could only be scattered on both sides of the convoy, and it would take three times as long to return in a day's journey.

Arthur and the others were mixed in with the cavalry and could not make any unusual moves, so they had to slowly advance with the troops.

There were no accidents throughout the day, and the convoy did not stop until midnight to rest. At this rate, it will be possible to reach the legion headquarters around dusk tomorrow.

There were no towns or villages where the convoy stopped to rest, and the convoy circled all the wagons in a large circle and laid siege to the makeshift camp. Half of the inner circle of camps was set aside for musk oxen and cavalry wildebeests, and the rest was the camp where the coachmen and Terran soldiers slept.

The battalion commander in charge of this escort was a battalion commander of the quartermaster department, I don't know how many times this road went back and forth, and he was very skilled in arranging things such as camping and burying pots for cooking, and the soldiers of the escort battalion were divided into three shifts by him to be responsible for standing guard and keeping vigil tonight.

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion were also divided into three squads to cooperate with the soldiers of the escort battalion, and Arthur and several of them were divided into various squads.

"Be sober, if anyone has their eye on the convoy, they will definitely do it tonight. Arthur told a few more of his companions.

In fact, the only people who really need his advice are Joan and Moral, two guys who are not very peaceful.

Arthur and Arya happened to be on duty in the first shift. In order not to attract attention, Arya pulled up her blonde hair and put it in her helmet, and deliberately touched two black oil paints on her face, which looked very funny.

Arthur couldn't help but sweep his gaze at Arya, and then forced himself to keep himself from laughing. Arya puffed out her face in anger, and her little face, which was slightly baby fat, looked even more cute because of the bulging.

For the first time, Arthur had the desire to go over and pinch it with his hand.

When the desire continues to swell and is almost uncontrollable, the sudden movement in the darkness instantly extinguishes the desire.

Not only Arthur, but also the soldiers patrolling the perimeter noticed the movement, "What people? ”

He was answered by a cold arrow shot in the darkness, and the soldier fell to the ground.

Swift black shadows rushed out of the darkness, shooting arrows as they rushed towards the Terran camp, and the outermost guard battalion soldiers were overwhelmed by the rain of arrows in the blink of an eye.

Arya raised her hand and it was a ball of light.

But before she could throw it, Arthur grabbed her wrist and threw her to the ground and pressed her underneath.

Alya, who blushed with shame, was just about to struggle, when Arthur's whisper came from her ear, "Don't be in a hurry, let's see the situation first." ”

The screams of the outer warriors before they died had already awakened all the Frost Thunder Legion soldiers in the camp, and they all picked up their weapons and rushed outside the camp.

By the light of the fires lit in the camp, the attacking enemies were revealed, orcs who were slightly taller than the Terran warriors, with long legs and long arms. At first glance, the face is somewhat similar to that of the Terrans, except that the face is covered with short black hair, and the pupils are blood-red.

The Demon Ape Clan, Arthur couldn't help but let out a low cry.

The number of orcs of the Demon Ape Clan is very small, even less than the number of lionmen. They are one of the most intelligent races among the orcs, and they are a race with both wisdom and force, they are hunters among the orcs, good at traps and hunting, and Yuan Lao Mo among the orc heroes is from the demon ape family.

Every Demon Ape warrior is an excellent hunter and warrior, each of them has a hunting bow, their movements are fast, and they shoot as they run, and the guards in the camp have fallen to the ground with arrows.

There were less than two hundred demon ape warriors who rushed out, but they suppressed the guards in the camp so much that they couldn't raise their heads, and they could only hide their bodies through trucks.

"Get on your horse, rush out with me and scatter them!" the cavalry escort who accompanied him at the beckoning of the battalion commander ran to his wildebeest.

The two wagons moved away, revealing a wide gap in the camp. The cavalry battalion rushed out of the camp, brandishing long machetes and slashing at the Demon Ape warriors.

The cavalry is the nemesis of the light infantry, and as soon as the cavalry rushes out, the demon ape warriors immediately begin to run back, turning back and shooting arrows as they run, and from time to time cavalry is planted from the horse.

Just as the Frost Thunder Cavalry was behind the Demon Ape Clan warriors, raising their swords and preparing to harvest their lives, an orc cavalry suddenly burst out of the darkness.

These orc cavalry were as fast as lightning, appearing in the darkness one second, and rushing into the ranks of the Terran cavalry the next, their claw-like scimitars slashing through the Terran knights' waists and abdomen.

Leopard cavalry!

When these leopard cavalry, who were more ferocious than the wolf cavalry, emerged from the darkness, Arthur's heart sank to the bottom, and the convoy was doomed that night!
