Chapter 104 The soldiers set off

"Your Excellency Jackdaw, I am Captain March, who is responsible for leading the two centurions in Black Rock City. I hope we can get along well with you in the next journey."

While Ronan and Elena were chatting, a man wearing black chain armor and a sword hanging from his waist came forward to greet them.

"Nice to meet you, Captain March." Ronan raised his hand to signal Elena, asking her to calm down, and then faced March.

"This is my team member Lion, and he will set off together as a member of my team."

March took a look at Elena's dress.

He has short brown hair, a slender figure, his face is half covered by a black cloth, and he wears tight-fitting leather armor, which highlights his exquisite figure.

Even if you can't see the face, you can imagine the beauty of the other person just from the figure.

Don't you forget to take a woman with you when you go to the battlefield? These mercenaries are really...

Ma Qi shook his head in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged as he nodded to Elena and said hello.

After all, after arriving on the battlefield, his responsibilities are different from those of these mercenary groups. Whether the other party is reliable or not has nothing to do with him.

And according to the instructions of leader Rudolf, the opponent was a second-level knight, far beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers like them.

After the two sides understood each other, it was the time for the troops to be assembled.

Everyone officially set off under the command of March.

Blackstone City has a total of 1,000 peasants and 200 soldiers, and the surrounding five baronies each have 200 peasants and 50 soldiers.

Nearly 2,500 people, farmers and soldiers responsible for logistics gathered together and walked in the center pulling a convoy loaded with food supplies.

The soldiers were divided into different teams according to their respective affiliations and distributed on both sides of the convoy.

While responsible for safety, keep an eye on these farmers who were recruited to take charge of transportation and prevent them from escaping.

On the road of walking.

"It's so chaotic." Ronan was riding at the front on his horse, while Elena was walking next to him.

Turning her head to look at the chaotic team of soldiers behind her, she was a little hard to understand.

The farmers who were in charge of the transportation team at the center were scattered, and they would collide with each other from time to time.

The soldiers scattered on both sides were no better.

There are often problems with people falling behind and unknowingly blending into the ranks of soldiers from other territories.

So much so that the leader of the group had to shout everywhere to get the person back.

"Just get used to it. A group of improvised teams, not many people expect them to be of much use on the battlefield."

Ronan responded that the recruitment order issued by the northern province this time was the lowest level white mobilization order.

The purpose is to allow lords from various places to support supplies so that the Silver Territory can ensure the ability to continue fighting.

As for the soldiers dispatched, they are basically the weakest team in each territory, and their main responsibility is to ensure the stability of logistics and transportation.

The soldiers from the barony are responsible for guarding the transported peasants and soldiers, and the soldiers from Blackstone City are responsible for guarding other soldiers and maintaining overall order.

No one expected them to be of any use on the frontal battlefield.

If it were replaced by the highest-level golden recruitment order, the situation would be completely different.

That requires local lords to personally bring their main forces, respond quickly, and participate in the war.

But that was a scene that would only occur after the empire's nobles went into full-scale war, and the current situation has not yet developed to that extent.

"Besides, you want to go to the battlefield and make a name for yourself, but in the end you can't even ride a horse. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

Ronan looked at Elena who was walking quickly beside him chasing him.

"I didn't have the opportunity to study in Black Rock City." Elena looked at the war horse under him with envy.

The western region of the Northern Province and the grasslands of the southern Great Plains of the Kingdom are rich in fine war horses to provide mounts for the knights of the Kingdom's nobles.

But even if there are abundant war horse resources in the country, they are far beyond the reach of ordinary civilians.

This was the first time Elena had been so close to a war horse since she was a child. She couldn't help but curiously stretched out her hand to touch the horse's belly.

It wasn't until the war horse turned its head and grunted impatiently that he let go and stepped aside.

"Then you'd better learn it as soon as possible." Ronan jumped off the horse, patted the horse's back, and motioned for her to get up.

He glanced behind him.

Although the transportation team traveled on the relatively stable Blackstone Trade Road, the various lord teams were mixed together and were unfamiliar with each other, resulting in a lack of effective management and extremely low efficiency.

At present, it seems that it will take more than a month to reach the Hearth behind the Silver Territory.

This period of time is just right for Elena to learn more and share her affairs.

After hearing his words, Elena did not refuse.

She supported the horse's back with her palms, jumped up vigorously, and sat astride the horse.

After discovering that the owner on its back had changed, the war horse suddenly became irritable, put its ears back against its neck, and began to jump and kick up its hind hooves.

Elena, who was resisted, did not give up, but pressed her body firmly against the horse, trying to adapt herself to this feeling.

Her attention was highly concentrated, and then her body involuntarily exuded a unique power.

The body of the war horse, which was resisting fiercely, trembled.

After shaking his head, he became quiet and was meekly ridden by Elena.

"I succeeded! It's not that difficult." Elena showed an excited expression and looked at Ronan proudly.

Ronan clapped and encouraged.

Deterrence and destruction? He understood clearly in his heart.

Different hero bloods have their own unique properties.

Among them, the external manifestation of the blood of the Lion King is its powerful destructive power and deterrent effect on other creatures.

In fact, there are no native lion populations in the highlands of the Northern Lion Principality.

But more than two hundred years ago, the then Duke went deep into the other side of the Death Mountain and brought back a group of powerful lions from the vast prairie filled with monsters.

Subsequent generations were raised by the ducal family and gradually became a symbol of their status.

Only then did the pride of lions become famous.

The purer the blood of the hero's blood, the more obvious its uniqueness will be. At the same time, the intensity after awakening is naturally far superior to other awakened ones with low concentrations.

Just like Elena, she can easily make the war horse surrender, and the summoned flaming sword is almost impossible to resist head-on.

On the contrary, there are low-concentration awakeners.

They often have different types of blood from the great nobles of many countries, and they are mixed with each other and it is difficult to distinguish the primary and secondary.

Moreover, as the ancestors broke away from the nobility and intermarryed, the blood concentration of their descendants became lower and lower.

Due to the lack of spiritual blessing born from heroic faith, they can only use their own spirituality to activate their bloodlines.

Therefore, the strength of the abilities after awakening is low, and the properties of the blood of multiple heroes are prone to mix, resulting in mixed-blood defects.

As the blood of the lion destroys and the blood of the wise creates.

These two kinds of heroic blood are mixed together. If you can't distinguish the priority, let alone successfully awakening, the blood may burst and you will die suddenly on the spot.
