Chapter 73: The border of Cardero Province - Lumen Mountain

"It's just a count's family, what are you afraid of?" Seeing that he was isolated in an instant, the low-level silver knight couldn't help but yelled.

"That's because you, a fool, don't know the whole story. Do you think the Exe family is just a count's family?"

"A baron family born from nouveau riche, I advise you to report to your lord and learn about the outside world, and don't just focus on this small place of Cardero Province."

"Shut up now, or I'll make you, a fool, disappear on the road, so as not to bring disaster to us."

All the silver knights around couldn't help but scold, making this low-level silver knight realize that the situation was not good, and automatically retreated to the end, not daring to say anything, and determined not to speak out before finishing the defense army duty, so as not to bring disaster to his master.

The silver high-ranking knight took a cold look, and then restored his warm expression: "This area is located at the northern end of the border of the Kadlo Province, close to the border of the Railway Dwarf Mountain Kingdom. There are still many centaurs active outside the clearing area. Everyone gather together and discuss it carefully."

"Yes, think about it from another perspective. Our team has the most high-end combat power and has an incomparable advantage over other troops."

When everyone heard it, they thought about it in a flash. It was indeed the case, so they started to discuss it enthusiastically, except for a certain idiot.

...

The next morning, according to the original plan, the defense army was divided into five troops and left the original station of the Knights.

On the march, Flora called Weilin aside and asked: "Is there anything that needs to be solved in your territory? Let's solve it together during this operation."

After hearing this, Weilin thought carefully, then shook his head and said: "I don't know. My territory has just been opened up for a year, and the scope of the surrounding reconnaissance is not very large."

"I know."

Flora immediately called the messenger over and called the deputy commander over.

After a while, a knight rode a warhorse from the front of the team to the hillside, dismounted, saluted to Flora and said, "Captain, you are looking for me."

"Miller, how is the running-in of the troops?"

"Very smooth." Miller heard this and reported to Flora, "The lower-level soldiers did not resist. According to the information reported by the commanders of each unit, the lower-level officers almost all actively cooperated with us to command the troops. Except for a very few, I threw them to the "Sharp Knife Camp" and prepared to consume them in the first wave."

"Well, let them pay attention and gradually master the troops during the march, so as not to start hanging the chain when the cleanup begins." Flora nodded with satisfaction.

"Second, on the original area, let the scouts expand the scope of reconnaissance and mark all tribes with more than 300 monsters."

"Yes, captain."

Then Miller rode away from the hillside.

"Commander, then I will go down too." After seeing Miller leave, Weilin said to Flora.

"Well, go down and take this opportunity to exercise more."

"Yes."

Then, Weilin rode on the red phosphorus horse and went to the rear of the marching team.

As a silver knight, he also gained the command of a thousand-man team.

In order to better control the troops, Weilin used the two hundred infantrymen he brought as the backbone and mixed them with the eight hundred people assigned to him.

At the same time, he also organized twenty knight attendants into a supervisory team and messengers, which was conducive to his conveying orders and commanding the troops.

Looking at the orderly marching team, Weilin nodded with satisfaction.

"My lord, do you need to send someone to contact Lord Baird and others in advance?" Kyle rode to Weilin and asked.

After some thought, Weilin ordered: "Send two people back to inform Baird and Orlando and others to assemble the troops and be on standby at any time. They may be needed."

"Yes."

After Kyle's proposal, Weilin had a bold idea in his mind.

If possible, after the defense army evacuates, they can occupy the earthen fort they built temporarily as a forward base for opening up the gray wilderness.

After five days of normal marching, the team of 8,000 people successfully arrived at the pre-planned location - Lumen Mountain, a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Weilin followed Flora, stepped on the rocks on the Lumen, and looked at the earthen walls piled up with mud around him, but they had become broken walls and ruins.

"Three hundred years ago, this was a jackal city." Miller, who was standing behind Flora, suddenly said.

"Here?" Weilin asked uncertainly.

"Yes, it's here." Miller nodded, and then said, "Three hundred years ago, my ancestor was still an adventurer and had been here. In the diary left by the old man, it was clearly recorded that Lumen Mountain City was a small jackal city, where more than 6,000 jackals lived at that time."

"I see, it's just that the place is a bit dilapidated."

As for why it became like this now, Weilin probably figured it out.

"Miller, have someone clean up this place first, set up camp, and start assigning specific tasks tomorrow."

"Yes, Captain."

Then, a thousand-man team arrived and began to clear the rubble and dirt on the ground and level the land.

A full thousand people, all professionals, one person is equivalent to three or four strong laborers, and the work is very efficient.

Near the afternoon, a large area of ​​land was leveled, and then a large number of marching tents were set up.

At night, in the command tent, the commander, deputy commander, eight thousand captains and other officers came here for a meeting.

"After discussion between Miller and I, the following order was formulated."

Eight centurions, including Weilin, stood up and waited for the order from Flora.

"The first, third, fifth and seventh thousand-man teams are the first battalion, and the second, fourth, sixth and eighth thousand-man teams are the second battalion."

"With a half-month cycle, the two battalions will take turns to take on the clearing and city-building tasks."

"I declare that the first battalion will take on the clearing and city-building tasks, and the second battalion will take on the city-building tasks."

"Tomorrow, I will send the combat missions to each centurion, and the plan will be officially implemented the day after tomorrow."

"Yes."

The eight centurions answered loudly and then returned to the queue.

Flora looked around and continued to order: "The logistics troops should do a good job in logistics supply tasks and ensure the safety of food and military equipment."

"Yes, sir."

The logistics minister, a silver knight, stood up and answered loudly.

"Now adjourn, everyone go back and have a good rest."

"Yes."

Everyone left the tent one by one and went to the area where their troops were located.

As the captain of the 7,000-man team, Weilin came to the upper left area of ​​the camp.

"My Lord, do you need me to call all the centurions?" Kyle saw Weilin coming back and saluted.

"No, let them have a good rest and assign tasks tomorrow."

"Yes."

Kyle took his leave and Weilin went directly into his tent and fell on the carpet to rest.
