Mercenaries Under the Sky

Vol 3 Chapter 22: Return to the imperial capital

From Shixin City to the settlement of the different mainland military forces in Shuangda Keng, a full 60 miles, according to the general army marching route, this is a standard day itinerary of the urgent march, but obviously Fan Zijue did not hurry to rush to the Shuangda pit in a day. Some people with a little common sense in the military know the truth that “the end of a strong crossbow cannot be worn by Lu Yao”. The so-called hurried march is mostly used in military exercises in the homeland. It is really in war, especially in the face of an elite army who knows each other, Adopting the urgent marching mode is probably the best performance for death.

"Your Excellency, why can't we feel the enemy's station as soon as possible, they are going ashore, striking the current, we just cover up the enemy in one fell swoop." The young staff thinks this is an excellent opportunity to express himself.

The blue eyes narrowed slightly could not conceal the cunning: "Oh, this ... well, it is said that the soldiers of the fascist continent are generally tall, they eat a lot of food every day, this ... they have been sitting on the boat for a long time It is inevitable that you will want to release your own excrement, and finally you have to go to the shore. You think about how long it will take for the army of more than 10,000 people to excrete together. How spectacular this scene should be. If we rush to attack in the past, is n’t it too Inhumane? I heard that their thing really wanted to be extraordinarily huge. I hope they can capture more this time ... I just do n’t know if there will be females in it? "The irresponsible commander did n’t even consider his own staff. In the face, he casually said the things he was most interested in.

A captain riding side by side could n’t bear the tiredness of his boss. Looking at these new Cavaliers school graduates who joined the military, it is estimated that he remembered the same situation when he joined the Viscount Fan many years ago. Explained in a low voice: "Do not worry, how long do you think it will take 10,000 troops to land ashore without a port? Do you know how many hours a day the high tide is now? As a qualified soldier, you must not only understand your opponents Compared with his own strength, he should also have a good understanding of geography and weather. "

"Thank you, Your Excellency." The young staff, who still didn't fully understand, retreated with doubts. It is estimated that there will be no more attempts to pat on the horse's feet.

At the forefront is the Lion Cavalry Squadron directly under the Lion River Army, followed by a heavy infantry squadron, then a pikemen squadron, then two light infantry squadrons, the most famous angry lion king in the Fire Lions The Berserker Squadron followed, followed by another lion and cavalry squad directly under the military. Coupled with the Flame Knights and a spearman squad that are close to the slippery pit, this is the entire family of the Fire Lions. Except for some whispered discussions near the General, the entire Fire Lions ’march is like a fiery magma winding down, and no soldier or officer will make any noise.

Unlike the Northern Federation Army, the Lion River Defense Zone has a slightly smaller army. The same army in the Northern Federation will be 36,000 soldiers, and each team will have at least 4,500 troops. In most other defense zones, the team will have the same number of troops. Generally, it is about 2000 to 3500 people. Therefore, the actual total number of the Fire Lion Army is 25,000.

The private soldiers of the regular army and the ordinary nobles really have a huge difference, especially the main force in the main empire forces like the Fire Lion. Behind the Fire Lions, there are 8000 Empire nobles. This is clear from a distance-no matter what it is , Equipment or march.

The color of the Fire Lion Army from armor to flags and mounts is red that can't be seen at a glance. This even includes the color of the Eudemons of all Eudemons Knights under the Fire Lion Army. In the process of receiving the Eudemons knights distributed by the military department, the Fire Lion Army is the most discerning. The mounts are not red and will not be considered. Even if a military officer is forced to force it in, they will usually be sent to the Lion River defense zone under various excuses. In other troops.

The colors of the noble local armed forces are basically diverse, and the equipment is not uniform, and a considerable part of them are small-scale mercenary organizations. Most of these mercenary organizations are C and D ranks, and the number of people is between 50 and 100. It is difficult With a fixed income, it is even less desirable for the mercenary regiment to purchase equipment uniformly. This is also true. There are very few lucks as good as the small mercenary regiment. If you are a big daddy, just be a big daddy. If you are close to the Redstone Emperor, it is impossible to think of without money. With such inconsistent equipment, it is even harder to expect these mercenaries who are used to staying quiet in the march. If you let go of your weapons, it would be better to describe them as farmers returning from the gathering.

Suddenly the sound of raptors skimming through the sky, five griffins came madly from a distance, and behind the griffin there was a Eudemons knight-it seemed to be a small ground dragon.

"My excellency, is the squadron leader of the Hou squadron!" Another young staff whispered without seeing the painful process of his colleagues.

"Oh, thank you, I really envy your young people's sharp eyes." Fan Zijue's heartfelt gratitude: "I heard that Ulu has a high sacrifice to perform a very complicated operation. Change the human eye, maybe it should be I tried it. "

The young staff member nervously touched his suddenly dry eyes-it is really unclear whether he should agree with the argument of His Excellency General or express strong opposition.

Seeing the captain of the squadron squadron, who should have returned 5 days ago, Viscount Fan was quite unhappy. No wonder he would bounce back the words of the small staff directly-the military chiefs do n’t know if there are any other ideas. Well, otherwise it won't trip your subordinates for up to 5 days. Who is the Eudemons Knight in the distance? There are only 20 or less Dragon Evil Monster Knight Empires in total, and most of them hold positions such as captains in various defense zones-is it him?

When the huge Eudemons stepped on the floating white light and landed, a middle-aged man greeted Fan Viscount on the Eudemons: "Lord Viscount, the Army sent me to coordinate the relationship between the first and second line regiments."

Indeed, among the generals who have not yet been awarded the title of Marshal in the Imperial Army, only Lin Yushang ’s father, Earl Lin, has the qualification and resume to coordinate multiple defense zones. Earl Lin was 23 years old when he entered the Lion River Defense Zone as a personal guard of Redstone (whether it was Redstone or Chu Jun), he was the captain of the Cavalry Squadron. Later he was transferred to the Holy Snow Mountain Defense Zone as the squadron leader of the Black Dragon Knights. The captain of the Cavaliers Brigade was later transferred to the Gyeonggi Defense Zone to join the army, and then transferred back to the boundary forest defense zone to serve as the chief of the defense zone. At that time, he was the Minister of Supervision of the Imperial Army.

I saw Earl Lin and Viscount Fan had a slightly better mood. The most annoying part of being a general of the army was that at the beginning of the war, somehow, he sent an insignificant general from a remote Shangfeng, instead of sending a supervisor The army might as well send a supervisor. Under normal circumstances, the adults who supervise the army will always only point to the pivot point and only receive credit. If something goes wrong, it will definitely be a general problem. Earl Lin ’s military qualifications and historical reputation in the army ensure that he will not make such low-level mistakes-moreover, Earl Lin and Fan Zijue have also worked together in a unit, although a major resume is in the cavalry unit. 'S resume is in the infantry, but after all, there are more common languages.

Lord Earl's position is equal to that of the Gyeonggi and Northern Federal District Commanders, slightly higher than that of the ordinary District Commanders. From the past experience, I am quite familiar with the unpleasantness revealed in Meifeng, the highest chief of the Lion River Defense District. After traveling for half an hour with Viscount Fan, he briefly explained to the imperial capital and learned the latest situation in the military department, especially the situation of the other two imperial wars. Earl Lin expressed the hope to visit the small mercenary group-Imperial Army in Lion Heart City The Ministry has a special appointment for mercenary regiments above the B level, and then will be permanently stationed in the second-line regiment.

Choosing between the first-line and second-line corps, Earl Lin sincerely hopes to stay in the second-line corps for more time-this is not afraid of death. Viscount Fan ’s reputation in the superstructure of the empire is quite bad, which is more manifested in his Unusually difficult to get along with, perhaps because of his humble origins. Although he has become a hereditary noble, Fan Viscount has a subtle conflict with the older nobles. There are often words that make it difficult for others to step down. This is a world of difference compared to the second-tier brigade commander Chi Hantong, Marquis. Chi Hantong, whether he is a man or a speech, is a typical soldier, impeccable.

...

Amy is chatting with Horns, Daqingshan and Chi Aotian at the temporary station of the Little Mercenary Corps. More than 80% of the soldiers ’casualties and Ying ’s serious injuries have caused Amy to do everything in the past ten days. No mood, Ying's injuries are good and bad, and often fall into a coma. According to the careful inspection of the rituals of the Lion Heart City, it is believed that the physiological mechanism has been damaged due to the recent massive blood loss, and it is quite difficult to recover in the short term.

After seeing Ying's wound, the ritual showed a strange expression: "It is already a miracle that such a heavy arrow wound is not immediately taken away by death. The wound from the habit can heal in a short period of time, which is simply unimaginable." Amy talked suspiciously about Sha Ruo's flaming phoenix crying and let Ying's wound recover quickly. The sacrifice and the rejuvenated Lei Ge's face showed fascinating colors. Sacrificial sacrifices repeatedly said: "Different numbers, different numbers ..."

According to the sacrifice and Lei Ge, in this world, there is a bird called Phoenix, which has an extremely noble lineage. Legend has it that when the creator God created the mainland, he accidentally cut the blood vessels, and a large amount of blood flowed out and finally coagulated. birds. Legend has it that this bird can easily enter the dragon realm.

There is an unproven story in the magic world and the Holy Church: The life of the phoenix is ​​extremely long, almost the same as the dragon. Unlike the dragon, when the phoenix reaches the age of 5,000, this phoenix enters aging. In the period, the aging phoenix shakes off its dull feathers, looking for a kind of fragrant wood in the mountains, and every time it finds one, it drags the tired body to the top of the mountain, and when enough fragrant wood is accumulated, The Phoenix will build a nest with incense wood, and then the whole body is drilled in. After 10 days, a red giant thunder will fall directly from the sky and fall on the nest, lighting the incense wood. The aging phoenix groaned in sadness among the blazing flames.

According to legend, when incense wood is about to burn out, a new phoenix will be born in the flame-therefore, it is said that the phoenix is ​​also known as the undead bird. This kind of bird with rebirth ability only shed tears three times in its life. This kind of tears can detoxify and has an excellent healing effect.

At the time, Amy just thanked Sha Ruo softly: "Thank you for saving Ying the second time."

Of course, not everyone is grateful for Fire Phoenix. For example, Long, after hearing this story in the living room, he whispered with Mo Ye to discuss: "This Fire Phoenix is ​​really so spiritual, if you eat it Meat, can we live forever or be born again? Just do n’t know if it ’s delicious. "

Horns and Daqingshan came back from the Lion River Defence Zone Command to inform the Fire Lions that they had set off. Amy was slightly taken aback. Especially, Horns and Daqingshan explained the arrangement of Viscount Fan in detail. Fan Zijue's knowledge has risen to a new height.

While several people were chatting, a small mercenary outside the door came to report: "Count Lin is here."

Oh? Legge, Barbath, Amy, Daqingshan, Hornes, etc. all hurried out to greet him, and Earl Lin walked in.

In a short polite sentence, Earl Lin turned to the topic: In order to strengthen control during the war, the main person in charge of the mercenary regiment above the B level needs to report to the Royal Capital Scambre and accept it for three months at the Noble Knight School Regular military combat training.

Earl Lin said only half of what he said here. This time, the imperial military department focused the heads of all large B-level and above mercenary regiments to Scambre for two main purposes: 1. The imperial army feels quite uncomfortable with the current war situation To be clear, in more precise words, the chief person in charge of the Imperial Army with Marshal Chi thought that the entire Amy Empire is facing a huge crisis. The concentration of all B-level mercenary regiments and above is mainly to train them to cooperate with the regular army in combat. In addition, after the regular army is incorporated into the war sequence, the B-level mercenary regiment and above will replace the regular army and lead the swordsman battalions in various cities to become The backbone of the urban defense zone; 2. Mercenary groups have always been mixed, even for B-level mercenary groups with considerable strength-some officers whispered at the time: even an A-level mercenary group is not a unknown source. , Have you always taken advantage of it? Worrying about the Imperial Army is not only that. In case some of these mercenary regiments are employed to serve the forces of the enemy country, once the regular army leaves, it will become a deadly death hole for the Empire's regular defense system. Take this opportunity to make some adjustments, and simply adjust some uneasy mercenary regiments to the northern federation, and even some military officers have proposed to incorporate some mercenary regiments into the regular army to serve as war ...

In the battle for fame in Xilin Island, the small mercenary regiment paid 80% of the casualties for the imperial army in exchange for time and space, and gained unanimous approval in the imperial army. Therefore, in this assembly, they were invited All members participate together.

Although the registered place is not in the empire, although the headquarters of the registered mercenary regiment has fallen into the enemy-occupied area, the small mercenary regiment still cannot refuse such invitations. Amy and several other principals did not evade Count Lin. After a brief discussion, it was decided that Amy, Lei Ge, Barbas, Mo Ye, Long and others led the small mercenary regiment to rent the carriage of the Imperial Post. The imperial capital, while Hornes, Daqingshan, and Chi Aotian expressed strong interest in the upcoming war between the Fire Lions and the foreign continent, so I hope to stay and take a look. The two parties agreed that Chi Aotian and the other three would stay for a maximum of 5 days, and then they must rush to the Imperial Capital.

Earl Lin said that the Imperial Army provided a decree for the small mercenary regiment to facilitate the trip to mobilize the human and financial resources of all the postes belonging to the Imperial Army. Finally, Count Lin's implied hint: I hope that the small mercenary regiment will be mentally prepared when they arrive in the Imperial Capital. The Redstone Emperor and the Imperial Army may give major teachers a major reward.

While discussing how to arrange the road on Amy and others, Earl Lin suddenly invited Legg and Barbbas, two familiar peers, to visit the injured little mercenary, and politely declined the good intentions of Daqingshan to lead the way.

The Earl and his entourage walked through the rooms one by one, and the Earl stopped by to visit each of the little mercenaries-until he saw Ying, still unconscious, in the room of Captain Amy.

The girls of the two small mercenaries are taking care of Ying, and the house smells of rich herbs. This is made by the elder grassland elves. Most of the sacred magic and herbs of humans are not suitable for elves. Based on his many years of experience in the army, the grassland elf archer captain collected some herbs for blood. From the point of view of the efficacy, it is indeed better than the elixir prescribed by the general priest.

Ying was lying on the bed, her face was white, a thin quilt was put on her body, a white jade wrist was exposed outside the quilt, and on the outside of the bed was a reclining chair. There was no second bed in the room. Obviously, The owner of the house was leaning on such a chair at night to sleep.

The expression of the Earl, who was not deep in the city, stood in front of the bed. It was fully marked. The move to visit other small mercenaries just now was unnecessary and had to be a prelude.

At the age of Earl ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ For a girl of the same age as her daughter, Ying has a touch of elder care. He simply chatted with the two girls in care, and asked about his condition. When he heard that Ying had left the dangerous period, he breathed a sigh of relief from the heart. Two other adult men in the room also exhaled for a long time.

Afterwards, the Earl, the Imperial State Teacher and Amy's teacher, and Barbath were hiding in Lei Ge's house for a long time.

After dinner, Barbath suddenly asked in public: "Amy, Miss Lin is very upset when she returns to the capital, and the count is very worried. Will you be able to accompany her more when you return?"

Amy is speechless.

Legge took the words: "This ... the count said that in the imperial capital, there are some very good men with multiple wives ..."

Although Long had n’t heard about Lord Earl ’s words personally, he quickly reflected: “Amy ... this is a great opportunity, Miss Lin Yushang, we feel very good about her, do n’t you It's so beautiful. "

Amy let out a long breath, "Ying told me that there was a passage in the elf: 'A good girl will walk many places in her life, but only sleeps beside a man.' She said , She will definitely be like this ... I like this sentence very much, and I will follow this sentence too. "

"But how sad will Miss Lin Yushang be?" Long blurted out and hugged Miss Lin.

"Human life is only a few decades at most, and the life of an elf is at least 1000 years. After I go, I believe Ying will be sad for me, and this kind of sorrow can only be liberated by the arrival of death. She already knew that this was coming. I ca n’t save my sorrow ... I do n’t want to discuss this topic anymore. It ’s late, I ’m going to accompany Ying. ”After that, Amy got up and left the hall.
