On the slightly undulating plains, you can see the mountains connecting the city in the distance. Two towering ridges suddenly appeared, as if a powerful force split the mountain from the middle.

"Sir, the Cornico Pass is ahead. We explored the plain in front of the pass and found no tribes." After Neil's investigation, he returned to Lant and reported to Lant.

Today is November 27th. It has been 8 days since Lant set out south. In the previous 7 days, Lant traveled an average of less than 30 kilometers per day at most. In addition to fixed marches, it was more of an entire cavalry formation and

Charge training.

Before breaking camp every day, Lant would lead the knights to conduct 1-2 formation and charge training.

After about 10 days of training, the knights in the salt mine have recovered their riding skills to a perfect level. At least they are now on par with the barbarian riders when lining up and charging. Even the big stone that once despised the knights is now

He was also very respectful when he saw the knights.

After setting off at noon, Neil, who completed the reconnaissance in the morning, will tell Lant whether there are any tribes or targets nearby that can be attacked.

In 7 or 8 days, Lant swept through all the barbarian camps along the way. The biggest gain was that he directly captured 4 medium-sized tribes, two more medium-sized tribes, and eight small tribes took the initiative to join in, allowing Lant to

Obtained 70 barbarian cavalry (human + horse), an additional 120 black scale horses, and more than 30 human demon worshipers.

The addition of 200 black scale horses allowed Lant to greatly expand his team. Now each of the main knight squadrons has doubled in size, adding 10 demon worshipers and 25 barbarian cavalry.

The two cavalry teams were supplemented by 10 cavalry, and Neil's and Greyhound's teams were supplemented by 30 demoniacs and cavalry each.

This round of expansion has basically added all the newly added Black Scale Horses to the team. Lant's entire force has reached 400 riders. Now the team has everyone from Big Rock to Roll. No one will doubt that Lant can win the victory against Gray Goose.

.

Every afternoon when Lant leads the team to a new camping spot, each detachment will spread out to hunt. Just like Lant set traps on various rivers before, the demoniacs will catch swordfish on their own.

, mudslide crocodiles, and even common beasts on the plains.

The army has doubled, and the logistics consumption has also doubled. Therefore, the demon supporters need to hunt on their own to replenish the monster meat. Of course, every team that captures the monster will leave some monster meat for those who are busy in the camp.

Rand who supervised the resettlement camps and buried pots for cooking.

The good news about food and grass is that due to the slow movement of Lant's troops, the large troops behind are getting closer to Lant's position, and every day Lant's advancing distance is actually within the detection range of the mage's eye on the mast of the luxury carriage.

There is no need to worry about problems with the team delivering food and grass in the morning.

Therefore, the daily movement track of the two camps is that in the morning, Neil scouts forward, Rand leads the troops to train, and the rear camp delivers food and grass to Rant; at noon, Neil returns the target, Rand breaks camp, and the rear camp simultaneously breaks camp and advances to

The ruins of the camp where Lant left; in the afternoon, Lant set up a new camp, released each team for hunting, and after setting up camp in the rear camp, began preparing for the second morning transportation of grain, grass and supplies.

The nearly synchronized mode of the two camps ensures that there is always plenty of food in Rand's camp, and the main camp in the rear can receive support from Rand's army at any time. Rand can also take advantage of the support from the main camp every noon.

Supplies Learn about the difficulties Lanya and Gandalf encountered in camp management.

During the march of the camp, Lanya once again showed her extraordinary management skills. The entire camp moved in an orderly manner, and it only took 2 days for all the demoniacs in the camp to be convinced of her.

Just the day before, at noon on November 26, Neil ran over and said that he had found an excellent camp with natural flat ground and even several small tribes that could provide supplies.

What Neil is talking about is the Yeqi City ruins, which is where the Gray Goose tribe meets every time. From the highest point of the Yeqi City ruins, you can already see the Cornico Pass. From the ruins to the mountain pass, at most, you can see

It takes a day.

On the afternoon of the 26th, Lant led his team to the west wall of the ruins of Yeqi City. There was a large open space under the city wall. The two small tribes where they originally lived surrendered to Lant without any resistance.

Here, Lant also met the latest group of envoys sent by Touyan. When the envoys first saw Lant, they thought they were reinforcements organized by the grassland to reinforce the gray geese. They happily hugged Lant while laughing and scolding them for being so late.

Just arrived.

Lant did not expose himself, but asked about the situation of the battle.

"The Viscount Roth who has been blocking us all year round is gone a long time ago, and I guess you know that too.

Ten days ago, our Touyan led the people to fight against the Earl of Maned Wolf, and we won a great victory. The old Maned Wolf hid in his stone castle in despair and never came out."

"We defeated the Old Maned Wolf?" Lant could finally say his Earl's nickname without any scruples, and Roll next to him couldn't stop him.

"Yes, it was a few priests who showed their magical powers, and Touyan said they put a curse on the old maned wolf." The messenger showed off very happily.

"Then since the old maned wolf no longer dares to leave his den, does the leader still need our support?"

"Of course we need it. Now we don't have much food. In the past two days, Touyan sent several teams to the small human territory to get food. Unexpectedly, they were attacked by the Knights of the Maned Wolf. We lost dozens of people.

When Touyan found out, he was very angry. Didn't he ask me to bring a few brothers over to urge reinforcements on the grassland?"

"Doesn't that mean there are less than 200 people in front of us now?"

"That's not the case, but don't we still occupy Lot Castle? We still have to station some people there to watch over the slaves we snatched."

"Oh, in this case, I really appreciate the envoys. Don't worry, I will lead my troops to find Touyan immediately." Lant sorted out the information he wanted to know most, and handed over the envoys to his subordinates to deal with it.

That night, Albert rode directly to Lant's camp. During the day, he saw the ruins of Yeqi City through the eyes of the mage. At night, Albert could no longer rest peacefully, so he simply ran away on horseback.

30 kilometers to reach the campsite of Lant.

In Lant's opinion, Albert should have come here for a pilgrimage, and he touched the magnificent west gate of Yeqi City with a pious attitude.

"This trace should have been left by the orcs. It is almost 300 years old and it is still so clear. If it is repaired in the future, should it be left as a warning to future generations?"

While stroking the city wall, Albert whispered to himself, leaving Lant, Gandalf and Wendy beside him speechless for a while.

"You haven't won the lottery yet, have you already figured out how to spend it?" Lant complained silently in his heart.
