Chapter 85: 84. The Eve of the Great War
Chapter 85 84. The Eve of the Great War
With the first successful hunting experience, the subsequent hunting operations can only be said to be the accumulation of successful experience and continuous improvement.
The coordination of the double shields between Suldak and He Boqiang is becoming more and more proficient. The square shield of the heavy armored infantry regiment is too poor in texture, and it is difficult to resist the full force of the evil spirits. Recently, Suldak used it The broken square shield had at least three sides, and even He Boqiang's dwarf chain shield was riddled with holes by the sharp ax in the hands of the evil ghost.
In just three days, the second team hunted and killed four evil spirits without any risk.
The actions of the second team to frantically block and shoot down a single evil spirit directly caused the number of evil spirits in the evil spirit patrol to increase from seven to thirteen.
Moreover, the evil spirits in these patrols have a strong sense of prevention, and they no longer easily stand alone, so that the soldiers of the second team can no longer find a chance to kill the evil spirits alone.
On the sixth day of investigation in this forest area, Suldak finally received an order from the fourth brigade to withdraw the team.
Under the strict supervision of Baron Sidney, the Fourth Battalion opened up all the forest roads near Moyun Ridge in just over five days, and successfully passed a mountain pass full of dense forests with fifty-seven The second brigade of the regiment joined forces smoothly.
The patrol mission is over, and the second team returns to the fourth team.
In the dense forest, these heavily armored fighters of the fourth brigade took off their heavy armor, and stood naked in the woods one by one, holding logging axes in their hands. They looked more like a group of lumberjacks. Already integrated into this new role.
However, when the soldiers of the fourth battalion saw the distressed appearance of the soldiers of the second squad, they were really taken aback by their appearance.
The standard armor on the soldiers of the second team led by Suldak is almost not intact, and almost all of them need to be replaced with a large number of copper armor pieces. In addition, three hardwood square shields were broken, and the knight's long sword was broken Two of them were broken, and the blades of the other weapons were also badly broken. Almost all the felling axes brought out were lost, but fortunately, the team added three single-edged axes that are only available in the evil spirit camp.
It's hard to imagine what the second team went through to make them so embarrassed. Even a brutal melee could not have caused such serious damage.
Fortunately, the second team's dangerous reconnaissance mission did not result in attrition. Although this group of soldiers looked very embarrassed, everyone was in a very good state of mind.
The most striking thing is that Captain Suldak has a bulging linen bag hanging from his waist. The most experienced veterans know what is in it without asking. These trophies showed eager expressions.
Who would have imagined that when other fighter teams were sweating profusely in cutting down big trees in the dense forest, the soldiers of the second team would have so many eye-catching gains.
When Baron Sidney first saw the embarrassment of the second team, his face was gloomy like the eve of a storm, and a roar might erupt at any time.
But when Suldak approached Baron Sidney and whispered a few words in his ear, the young baron, who always had pride on his face, turned pale, and spoke to Su Er in front of a group of squadron leaders. Darke gave a few words of encouragement.
The fourth brigade chose to camp on the hillside at the mountain pass.
Although the task of opening up the woodland has been completed, Sidney still has a way to return to the 57th Regiment to report to Earl Mond Goss for the time being, because Baron Sidney still has another task on his shoulders, and Baron Sidney still needs to prepare for the future. The large army chose a camp that could be attacked, retreated and defended by mountains and rivers.
As a matter of fact, even Earl Mond Goss of the 57th Legion has no right to decide the location of the camp of the large army.
But this does not prevent the advance army from making rationalization suggestions.
Most of the fighters of the Fourth Battalion have been opening up forest roads these days, and only a few teams are on duty in the nearby woodlands. Therefore, the team leaders who have the most say are those who go out to perform reconnaissance missions.
At the meeting held by the Fourth Brigade at the level above the squad leader, Baron Sidney asked Suldak to provide some proposals by name.
What plan can Suldak have? As the captain of the second squad of the Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment who has just been promoted, Suldak only has thirteen people in the squad. Finding a safe place to stay may be fine.
It would be difficult for him to find an ideal camp for nearly 300 heavy armored infantry soldiers of the Fourth Battalion.
It would not be difficult for him to choose a location for this mixed army expedition to Moyunling, and even to make some comprehensive considerations for infantry regiments, cavalry regiments, construction knights, and business groups that provide logistics supplies. He, but he simply can't do it.
What Suldak provided Baron Sidney this time was a simple hand-drawn map, which showed the trend of the mountains at the foot of Moyunling Mountain and the distribution of rivers and streams. In addition, Suldak also marked on the map Out of the haunted route of the Ghost Patrol.
Baron Sidney is no longer dissatisfied with this capable and considerate new team leader.
That night, the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion learned from the leaders of the squadrons that the reason why Baron Sidney's stinky face showed a smug expression was actually because Captain Suldak of the Second Squadron sent a message to Sidney. Baron Ni handed over the heads of four evil spirits.
No need to guess, this time the second team will definitely get a generous reward from Baron Sidney.
The benefit that Baron Sidney can get this time is that he is one step closer to being promoted to the title.
In fact, hunting evil spirits is not something that every heavy armored infantry squad can do. To be precise, most fighter squads are currently unable to do this.
The strength gap between warriors and evil spirits cannot be smoothed out simply by numbers.
So many times, the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry encountered evil spirits in the wild. If they had no way to evacuate early, it was common for them to be chased and killed by evil spirits.
Heavily armored infantry regiments fight against evil spirits on the battlefield, generally relying on the excellent ordnance of the Grimm Empire, such as bed crossbows and catapults.
In addition, the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment can also rely on fighting with the heavy cavalry, which can cause certain casualties to the evil spirits.
Otherwise, they are struggling to block the attack of the evil spirits and waiting for the support of the Constructed Knights.
It can be said that the heavy armored infantry regiment has always been like cannon fodder in the war against evil spirits.
Now that there is a hand-painted map of the foot of Moyunling Mountain, Sidney confirms from Suerdak that a **** in the map is relatively spacious, and then uses the charcoal pencil in his hand to circle around...
The location of the camp of the Moyunling Expeditionary Army was determined in this way.
Knowing that the big shots at the top would never choose this place, Baron Sidney can at least be sure that if he circled around with a charcoal pencil, he would not determine the camp in a valley or on a high cliff, at least he could It proves that the site selection was carefully considered by myself.
Two days later, the expeditionary army to Moyunling passed through this forest road one after another, and arrived at the foot of Moyunling.
The caravan in charge of transporting logistical materials also rushed over. In addition to thousands of expeditionary troops, thousands of mules and horses carrying a large amount of supplies also crowded the forest road...
The original design of this forest road was only for sixteen horses to run in parallel.
Looking at it now, it must be widened again...
