Even the dark night could not stop the work and progress of the baggage transport team.
Every carriage carrying baggage was equipped with torches on its four sides.
Thanks to these torches,
If viewed from above, the convoy of carriages equipped with torches would look like a winding "fire snake", crawling along the foot of the Lygasus Mountains.
Although the possibility of being attacked by others was slim, for the sake of safety, Su Cheng sent the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Army to escort this heavy supply unit.
The 3rd Brigade is one of the three cavalry brigades of the 1st Corps of the Knights of Michael. This baggage team has a total of more than 2,000 carriages. It is more than enough to use 1,000 cavalry to escort 2,000 carriages.
The captain of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Army closed his mouth tightly, sat astride his beloved horse, and advanced slowly in line with the speed of the carriage.
At this moment, a squadron leader next to him reported to him:
"Captain, there are two figures there."
"Shadow?"
After hearing this word, the brigade leader frowned suddenly and looked in the direction pointed by the squadron leader's finger.
"where?"
"It's on top of that hill." The squadron leader pointed to a hill quite far away from them.
"..." The captain fell silent because he was speechless.
After being silent for a while, the captain finally spoke up: "It's so dark and the distance is so far away. How the hell could you tell there were two people there?"
"I was born as an Orion before I joined the army. I have developed a pair of eyes with very good eyesight and night vision since I was a child. Captain, do you think those two people are barbarians?"
"Probably, except for those mountain monkeys, no one will stay on the mountain. Ignore those two people and continue to concentrate on guarding the baggage train. This time, all kinds of medicines are being transported, and they are all very expensive.
, if something goes wrong, it will be troublesome."
"Medicine... No wonder I always smell a strong smell of medicine. Captain, when will this escort mission end? This escort mission is really boring. Staying in the fortress for training is more interesting than this."
"How the hell do I know..." the captain responded, "This time, the Northern Territory Administration dispatched more than 10,000 carriages, divided into 5 transport teams to transport the baggage, and the team leader also sent out a team including us.
Five cavalry brigades were sent to escort the baggage train."
"10,000 carriages, it's more or less, who knows how many troops are going to be launched this time. If the number of troops is small this time, the baggage can be transported quickly and our escort mission can be completed.
But if the number of troops sent this time is large, then our escort mission may have to be carried out for a long time."
After listening to the squadron leader's explanation, the squadron leader suddenly fell silent.
"Captain..." After a moment of silence, the squadron leader finally spoke up, "The fact that we brought the baggage here means we are going to use troops in this area, right?"
"Of course, then what else are you doing with the baggage piled here?"
"Is there anyone around here who needs troops?"
"..." The captain stopped talking.
"Are there rebels around here? Are there bandits? The only ones here are the barbarians who live on the Lygasus Mountains, right?"
"..."
"Why do we do nothing wrong for no reason, and have never provoked our barbarian soldiers..."
"enough!"
Before the squadron leader could finish speaking, he was stopped by a loud shout from the squadron leader.
"Why we need to use troops against the barbarians is not something that people like us should consider. We just need to complete every task handed down from above."
Having said this, the captain paused.
Then, a wry smile appeared on his face, and then he continued:
"Don't talk about us. Even the leader of our Michael Knights is not qualified to consider this kind of problem... What the leader can do is probably the same as us. Complete the above upload obediently and well.
Every task that comes down..."

…
April 28, 291 AD of the Britannia Empire.
Britannia Empire, Pendragon, White Palace, Emperor's Study.
Today is the second day of Ilsa's 8th birthday.
Ilsa's 8th birthday has now become history. After participating in and experiencing various activities, delegations from various countries officially began their journey back home today, with either shock or fear.
Like the delegations from these countries, the domestic vassals also started to set off home one after another starting today.
However, not everyone can go home immediately.
For example, Su Cheng.
When returning to the imperial capital this time, in addition to attending Ilsa's 8th birthday, Su Cheng also had another important task.
That is to report to His Majesty and others the detailed battle plan he has planned for "Operation Salomanda".
The top-secret document delivered to the Northern Territory at the beginning of this year clearly stated that the Michael Knights were responsible for this war of conquest against the mountain barbarians, Operation Salomanda, with Su Cheng as the commander-in-chief.
Not only does Su Cheng serve as the commander-in-chief, but Su Cheng also plans the detailed combat plan.
Beams of sunlight shone in through the study window, shining on Su Cheng's face.
Su Cheng respectfully knelt on one knee in the center of Ge Zewen's study.
In front of him was Gozevin, who was already sitting behind the desk, waiting for his arrival, as well as Jacob, Gale, Bancro and others standing on both sides of the desk.
"Su Cheng, stand up." Ge Zewen's face was filled with a warm smile.
"yes."
When Su Cheng stood up from the ground, Ge Zewen continued to smile at Su Cheng: "Thank you so much, Commander, for yesterday's military parade. I saw it very clearly. Your Michael Knights
When they appeared, many people on the balcony immediately changed their expressions. It seems that it is really necessary for the entire empire to follow the current training methods and routine of the Michael Knights."
"Making you the leader of the Michael Knights was indeed the most successful decision last year. Su Cheng, having you here is really a great blessing to our Britannia Empire."
"Your Majesty!" After hearing His Majesty's words of appreciation, Su Cheng hurriedly humbly said, "I really don't dare to take the position. Since Your Majesty has handed over the Knights of Michael to me, I will naturally go to pieces.
I would like to repay Your Majesty for your kindness in understanding and supporting me."
"Hehehe, okay, okay." Ge Zewen stroked the long beard on his chin, "Okay, let's stop talking about gossip, it's time to get down to business. Su Cheng, you should have planned something about Saloman
A detailed plan for the battle?"
"Yes." Su Cheng responded, "I have already conceived a detailed battle plan on how to capture the Lygasus Mountains, but before I tell you my plan, can I tell you something?"
"What?" Ge Zewen asked doubtfully.
