Chapter 22 Return to the Imperial Capital

From Lionheart City to Liudakeng, the alien continental army gathering place, it is a full 60 miles. According to the general army marching distance, this is a standard day of emergency march, but it is obvious that Fan Zijue is not in a hurry to reach Liudakeng in one day. It is slightly

Some people with military knowledge know that "a strong crossbow cannot penetrate Lu's silk". The so-called forced march is mostly used in military exercises in the homeland. In real war, especially when faced with an elite army that knows itself and the enemy, it is necessary to use

The rapid march mode is probably the best way to commit suicide.

"Your Excellency General, why can't we sense the enemy's position as soon as possible? They are coming ashore and crossing the current, and we just happened to cover up the enemy in one fell swoop." The young staff officer thought this was an excellent opportunity to show off.

The slightly narrowed blue eyes couldn't hide the cunning: "Oh, this... it's not good. It is said that soldiers in the Fascist continent are generally very tall. They eat a lot of food every day. This... they sit on the boat for a long time.

, it is inevitable that you will want to release your own excrement, and it is not easy to reach the shore. Think about how long it will take for an army of more than 10,000 people to excrete together. How spectacular this scene must be. If we rush over to attack in a hurry, isn’t it too much?

Is it inhumane? I heard that their thing is really huge. I hope they can capture more people this time... I just don’t know if there will be females inside?" The irresponsible commander did not consider the small staff officer of his staff at all.

In order to save face, he casually said what he was most interested in.

A captain who was riding side by side really couldn't stand the laziness of his superior. Looking at these knight school graduates who had recently joined the army, he probably remembered the same scene when he joined Fan Viscount's army many years ago, and he felt sad.

He explained in a low voice: "Don't worry, how long do you think it will take for all 10,000 troops to disembark without a port? Do you know how many hours the tide rises every day? As a qualified soldier, you must not only understand your opponent

Compared with your own strength, you should also have a good understanding of geography, weather, etc."

"Thank you, Your Excellency." The young staff officer, who still didn't fully understand, backed away with doubts. It is estimated that he will never try to catch someone's feet from now on.

At the forefront was the cavalry squad directly under the Lion River Military Headquarters, followed by a heavy infantry squadron, then a pikemen brigade, and then two light infantry brigade, the most famous Furious Lion King in the Fire Lion Legion.

The berserker squadron followed closely, and finally another lion and a cavalry squad directly under the military headquarters. Together with the flame knights and a pikemen group that were already approaching the pit, this was the entire fire lion army. Except for the general who was nearby,

There were some whispered discussions, and the entire march of the Fire Lion Legion was like a winding line of red lava, with no soldier or officer making any sound.

Different from the northern federal army, the army establishment in the Lion River Defense Area is slightly smaller. With the same establishment, the full strength of the northern federal army will be 36,000 soldiers, and each group will have at least 4,500 soldiers. In most other defense areas, the number of groups in the group will be 36,000.

Generally, there are around 2,000 to 3,500 people. Therefore, the actual total number of Fire Lion Legion is 25,000.

There is indeed a huge difference between the regular army and the private soldiers of ordinary nobles, especially the main force of the empire like the Fire Lions. Behind the Fire Lions are 8,000 imperial nobles. This is clear from a distance - no matter the look in the eyes.

, equipment or marching.

From the armor to the flags and mounts of the Fire Lion Legion, the color is endless red. This even includes the colors of the fantasy beasts of all the fantasy beast knights under the Fire Lion Legion. In the process of receiving the fantasy beast knights distributed by the military,

The Fire Lion Legion is the most picky, and any mount that is not red will not be considered. Even if a military boss forces it in, it will usually be sent to other troops in the Lion River Defense Area under various excuses.

The colors of the aristocratic local armed forces are diverse, and the equipment is not uniform, and a considerable part of them are small-scale mercenary organizations. Most of these mercenary organizations are C and D levels, with a number of between 50 and 100 people. It is difficult to

If you have a fixed income, you can't expect the mercenary group to purchase equipment uniformly. That's right. Very few people can be as lucky as a small mercenary group. Just be a sugar daddy, and even have a red stone.

Great Emperor, it is impossible without money. The equipment is so inconsistent, it is even more difficult to expect these dissolute mercenaries to maintain silence during the march. If they put down their weapons, it would be better to describe them as farmers returning from the market.

The sound of birds of prey suddenly came from the sky, and five griffons came rushing from a distance. Behind the griffins was a fantasy beast knight - it seemed to be a small ground dragon.

"Your Excellency, General, you are the squadron leader of the Scout Squadron!" Another young staff officer said in a low voice without seeing the painful process of his colleague just now.

"Oh, thank you. I really envy you young people's sharp eyes." Fan Zijue expressed his sincere thanks: "I heard that there is a high priest in Ulu who can perform a very complicated operation to replace people's eyes. Maybe it should be done

Tried it."

The young staff officer nervously touched his suddenly dry eyes - he really didn't know whether to agree with the general's argument or to express strong opposition.

Seeing the scout squadron leader who was supposed to return five days ago, Fan Zijue was quite unhappy. No wonder he dismissed the junior staff officer's words - the military bosses didn't know if they should have any other ideas.

Right, otherwise he wouldn't have trapped his subordinates for 5 days. Who are the fantasy beast knights in the distance? There are less than 20 small earth-walking dragon fantasy beast knight empires in total, and most of them serve as captains in various defense zones.

A kind of position—could it be him?

When the huge phantom beast landed on the floating white light, a middle-aged man greeted Fan Zijue on top of the phantom beast: "Your Excellency, the military department sent me to coordinate the relationship between the first-line corps and the second-line corps."

Indeed, among the generals in the imperial military who have not yet received the title of marshal, only Lin Yushang's father, Earl Lin, has the qualifications and experience to coordinate multiple defense zones. Earl Lin was 23 years old with a red stone (that's a red stone or a red stone)

When he entered the Lion River Defense Zone as the personal bodyguard of the Crown Prince, he served as the captain of the Knight Squadron. He was later transferred to the Holy Snow Mountain Defense Zone as the squadron leader of the Black Dragon Knights. He was then transferred to the Jielin Defense Zone as the captain of the Knight Brigade. He was later transferred to the Gyeonggi Defense Zone as a member of the army.

He was then transferred back to the Jielin Defense District as the commander of the defense district. At that time, he was the director of the Supervision Department of the Imperial Military Department.

Seeing that it was Earl Lin, Fan Zijue felt slightly better. As a leading general, the most annoying thing is that when the war is about to begin, a gesticulating peer general is inexplicably sent from a distant mountain peak. Instead of sending a supervisor.

It is better for the army to send a superior. Under normal circumstances, the military supervisor will only point out the fulcrum and only receive the credit. If anything goes wrong, it must be the general's problem. Earl Lin's military qualifications and historical reputation in the army are very good.

Make sure he doesn't make such a stupid mistake - not to mention that Earl Lin and Fan Zijue have worked together in the same army. Although one main resume is in the cavalry unit and the other main resume is in the infantry unit, after all, they have more common languages.

.

The earl's position is on the same level as the commanders of the Gyeonggi and Northern Federation defense zones, and is slightly higher than the ordinary defense zone commanders by half a rank. From past experience, he is well aware of the vague displeasure in Mei Feng, the highest commander of the Shizi River defense zone. He is on the same horse as Viscount Fan.

After marching for half an hour, he briefly explained the imperial capital and learned about the latest situation at the military headquarters, especially the situation of the war between the other two empires. Count Lin expressed his wish to go to Lion Heart City to see the small mercenary group - the imperial military headquarters has a minimum requirement for B-level and above.

The mercenary regiment has special appointments, and will then be permanently stationed in the second-line corps.

When choosing between the first-line corps and the second-line corps, Count Lin sincerely hopes to stay in the second-line corps for more time - this is not because he is afraid of death. Fan Zijue's reputation in the empire's superstructure is quite bad, which is more reflected in his

Extremely difficult to get along with, perhaps because of his humble background. Even though he has become a hereditary noble, Fan Zijue has a subtle resistance to older nobles, and often has some words that make it difficult for others to step down. This is different from Chi, the commander of the second-line corps.

Compared with Marquis Hantong, there is a huge difference. Chi Hantong is a typical soldier, impeccable, both in his behavior and in his words.



Amy was chatting with Horns, Daqingshan, and Chi Aotian at the temporary station of the small mercenary group. More than 80% of the soldiers were casualties and Ying was seriously injured. Amy has been doing everything in the past ten days.

She was not in a good mood, and Ying's injuries were good and bad, and she often fell into coma. After careful inspection by the priests of Lion Heart City, they believed that the physiological mechanism was damaged due to the recent continuous massive blood loss, and it was very difficult to recover in the short term.

After looking at Ying's injuries, the priest showed a strange expression: "It's a miracle that such a serious arrow wound was not taken away by death immediately. It is simply unimaginable that a habitual wound can be healed in a short period of time."

Amy said in confusion that Ying Ying's wounds recovered quickly after Sha Ruo's Fire Phoenix cried. The faces of the priest and Lei Ge, who had regained their energy, showed fascination. The priest repeatedly said: "Odd numbers, odd numbers..."

According to the priest and Lei Ge, in this world, there is a kind of bird called Phoenix, which has an extremely noble bloodline. Legend has it that the God of Creation accidentally cut a blood vessel when he was shaping the continent, and a large amount of blood flowed out and finally condensed into it.

Birds. Legend has it that this kind of bird can easily enter the dragon realm.

There are unconfirmed stories circulating in the magic world and the Holy Church: the lifespan of a phoenix is ​​extremely long, almost the same as that of a dragon. The difference from the dragon is that when the phoenix reaches 5,000 years old, this phoenix will enter aging.

During the period, the aging phoenix shook off its dull feathers and searched for a kind of fragrant wood in the mountains. Every time he found one, he dragged his tired body to the top of the mountain. After accumulating enough fragrant wood, he

The Phoenix will build a nest with fragrant wood, and then drill its entire body into it. After 10 days, a huge red thunder will fall from the sky and land directly on the nest, igniting the fragrant wood. The aging phoenix will scream in pain in the raging flames.

In legend, when the incense wood is about to burn out, a new phoenix will be born in the flames - therefore, it is said that the phoenix is ​​also called the phoenix. This bird with the ability to regenerate only sheds tears three times in its life.

These tears can detoxify and have excellent healing properties.

At that time, Amy just thanked Sha Ruo softly: "Thank you for saving Ying the second time."

Of course, not everyone is grateful to the fire phoenix. For example, Long, after hearing this story in the living room, he quietly discussed with Mo Ye: "This fire phoenix is ​​really so powerful. If you eat it,

Meat, can we live forever or be reborn? I just don’t know if it tastes good.”

Horns and Daqingshan came back from the Lion River Defense Area Headquarters to inform Amy that the Fire Lion Legion had set off. Amy was still a little surprised, especially Horns. Daqingshan explained in detail Viscount Fan's arrangements, and the small mercenary group's response

Fan Zijue's understanding has reached a new level.

While several people were chatting, the little mercenary outside the door came to announce: "Count Lin is here."

Oh? Lei Ge, Barbas, Amy, Daqingshan, Horns, etc. all came out to greet them, and Earl Lin walked in dusty.

After a few polite words, Earl Lin turned to the topic: In order to strengthen control during the war, the main leaders of the B-level and above mercenary groups need to report to the imperial capital of Scambrai and undergo three months of training at the Noble Knight School.

Regular military combat training.

Earl Lin only said half of what he said here. The Imperial Military Department has two main purposes for gathering the leaders of all large B-level and above large mercenary groups to Scambrai:

1. The Imperial Army feels quite unclear about the current war situation. To put it more accurately, the main leaders of the Imperial Army, led by Marshal Chi, believe that the entire Amy Empire is facing a huge crisis. All B-class troops are concentrated.

The above mercenary regiments are mainly used to train them in the experience of cooperating with the regular army. In addition, after the regular army is incorporated into the war sequence, the B-level and above mercenary regiments will replace the regular army, lead the swordsman battalions in each city, and become the backbone of the urban defense zone.

;

2. Mercenary groups have always been a mixed bag, even the B-level mercenary group with considerable strength. At that time, some officers whispered: Even a certain A-level mercenary group had unknown origins, right? For

The Imperial Military Department is not only worried about that. If someone in these mercenary groups is hired to serve the enemy's forces, once the regular army leaves, it will become a fatal Achilles' heel for the Empire's regular defense zone system. Take this opportunity to make some adjustments and replace some that are not

The mercenary group was relieved and simply transferred to the Northern Federation. Some military officers even proposed to incorporate some of the mercenary group into the regular army to serve as...

In the famous battle of Xilin Island, the small mercenary group paid 80% casualties in exchange for the opportunity for the imperial army to move in time and space. It gained unanimous recognition from the imperial military headquarters. Therefore, in this assembly, they were invited

All members participate together.

Although the registration location is not in the empire, and although the headquarters of the registered mercenary group has fallen into the occupied area, the small mercenary group still cannot refuse such invitations. Amy and other major leaders did not avoid Count Lin, and made a brief

After discussion, it was decided that Amy, Lei Ge, Barbas, Mo Ye, Long and others would lead the main force of the small mercenary group to rent the carriage of the Imperial Station to return to the imperial capital. Horns, Daqingshan, and Chi Aotian expressed their support for the upcoming battle.

The Fire Lion Legion had a strong interest in the war with the foreign army, so they wanted to stay and watch. The two parties agreed that Chi Aotian and the other three would stay for a maximum of 5 days, and then they must rush to the imperial capital as soon as possible.

Count Lin said that the Imperial Military Department provided the small mercenary group with talismans to facilitate the mobilization of manpower and financial resources from all the stations affiliated to the Imperial Military Department along the way. Finally, Count Lin made a veiled hint: he hoped that the small mercenary group would arrive in the imperial capital.

At this time, if you can be mentally prepared, the Red Stone Emperor and the Imperial Military may give major rewards to those who have made meritorious deeds.

While Amy and others were discussing how to arrange the journey, Earl Lin suddenly invited Lei Ge and Barbas, two familiar peers of the same age, to visit the injured mercenary, and politely declined Da Qingshan's offer to lead the way.

The count and his entourage passed through the rooms one by one, stopping to visit every little mercenary - until he saw Ying, who was still unconscious, in Captain Amy's room.

The two girls from the small mercenary group were taking good care of Ying. The house was filled with the strong smell of herbal medicine, which was brewed by the elderly prairie elves. Most of the human sacred magic and herbs are not suitable for elves.

, the prairie elf archer captain collected some blood-enhancing herbs based on his many years of experience in the army. Judging from the efficacy of the medicine, it is indeed better than the elixirs prescribed by ordinary priests.

Ying was lying on the bed, her face was as white as snow, a thin quilt was placed on her body, and a white jade wrist was exposed outside the quilt. On the outside of the bed was a tilted armchair. There was no second bed in the room. Obviously,

The owner of the house reclines on such a chair and takes a nap at night.

The expression on the count's face as he stood in front of the bed clearly indicated that the visit to the other young mercenaries just now was just an unnecessary but necessary prelude.

At the earl's age, a girl like Ying who is the same age as his daughter has a touch of elder care. He briefly chatted with the two girls in his care and asked about her condition. When he heard that Ying had already

After being out of danger, he let out a deep breath. The other two adult men in the room also let out a long breath.

Afterwards, the Count, the imperial advisor and Amy's teacher, and Barbas hid in Lei Ge's house and chatted for a long time.

After dinner, Barbas suddenly asked in public: "Amy, Miss Lin was very unhappy after returning to the imperial capital, and the earl was very worried. Can you spend more time with her after you return?"

Amy was speechless.

Lei Ge took over the words: "This... the earl said that in the imperial capital, there are some very outstanding men who have multiple wives..."

Although Long, who had heard about this for a long time, did not hear the earl's words in person, he quickly reflected: "Amy... this is a good opportunity. Miss Lin Yushang, we have a very good feeling about her. Don't you want to

It’s so stinky.”

Amy let out a long breath, "Ying told me that there is a saying among elves: 'A good girl will travel to many places in her life, but she will only sleep with one man.'" She said

, she will definitely be like this... I like this sentence very much, and I will follow it."

"But how sad will Miss Lin Yushang be?" Long blurted out to defend Miss Lin's injustice.

"The life of a human is only a few decades at most, and the life of an elf is at least 1,000 years. After I leave, I believe Ying will be sad for me, and this sadness can only be released by the arrival of death. She has already known that this is coming.

The irreparable sadness... I don't want to discuss this topic anymore, it's night, and I have to go to accompany Ying." After saying that, Amy stood up and left the hall.
