Chapter 210 Four

In winter, the northern plains of the mainland are cold and dry. The cold wind howls across the vast and empty fields, and it hurts people's faces like a knife. 【】

In this season, even the hard-working gray camel merchants are unwilling to run out, and most of them will nestle in their warm homes and wait for the arrival of spring.

On the avenue from Tormund, the capital of the southwest province, to Wuglu, the capital of Shengyao Province, a huge army is advancing. The long team stretches for more than ten miles, and it looks like a swimming boat dragon.

This is the expeditionary force sent by the Southwest Province to the north. It is composed of the third battalion of the Tormund Garrison Army and the [-] Territory Conscript Army, plus the total number of logistics auxiliary soldiers is close to [-].

Under the guidance of the lion-wing battle flag, the knights with distinctive armor walk at the forefront of the legion. The wolf-lion cavalry battalion of the third battle regiment is very famous. From their proud and confident faces, we can get a glimpse of what this elite once owned. glorious history.

Following the cavalry battalion is the infantry battalion, but all the soldiers are not walking with heavy loads. The standard transport carriages pulled by prairie horses carry these soldiers, so that they don't need to walk hundreds of miles in a day of cold wind ground.

After hundreds of years of war, the war mobilization system of the Beamon Kingdom is very complete. The kingdom spent hundreds of years building roads from the capital Ugru to the capitals of the major provinces. Armies can be assembled quickly through the road.

Sufficient number of carriages allowed those territorial conscripts to enjoy the treatment of regular legions. Dozens of soldiers could squeeze into a smelly carriage to keep each other warm, and tell some half-meat jokes to pass the boring journey.

For many of them, this may be the last leisure time of their lives.

But behind this huge mixed army, there is an unusual and alien existence.

Snapped!

The bull tendon and leather whip threw a beautiful whip in the air, tearing the air and making a loud and clear sound, which made several soldiers who went all out to keep up with the team tremble involuntarily.

They have tasted the power of this kind of whip!

"Run, everyone!" The rock hammer riding on the bronze-armored rhino waved its whip, and roared viciously: "Anyone who falls behind will lose their dinner!"

Nine hundred soldiers ran in front of Leon with neat steps, and the white air exhaled by the soldiers gathered into mist and curled up.

From the day he left Tormund, Leon conducted rigorous training for his independent team on the road.

He applied to Count Octavia for the postponement of the task, and asked all the soldiers to run forward tomorrow, and they were allowed to rest on the transport carriage until they were exhausted and could continue.

Not only that, but when it was time to camp and rest at night, the fighters divided into two teams had to conduct training against each other. Only the victor could enjoy the best food and the warmest tent.

At the very beginning, the newly joined fighters did not understand very much. They had not received such strict training in their respective territorial guards, let alone marching now.

But if you don't understand it, you don't understand it, Leon's order is unquestionable, and the veterans of the Thunder Beast Battalion don't hesitate to implement the training order, and those who can run a hundred miles a day will never run 99.

When it was time for battle training at night, the veterans used their skilled fighting skills to humiliate the newcomers to their heart's content and enjoy the best food.

Under such circumstances, the recruits were very emotional, some resisted and some wanted to escape, but when the head of the escaped was hung bloody on the back of the carriage, everyone fell silent.

As time went by, the resistance became less and less, because these recruits found that what they enjoyed was almost the same as that of the veterans, excellent weapons and armor, sufficient food and even salary!

This is in stark contrast to other territorial troops. You must know that due to insufficient supplies, most territorial troops only eat two meals a day. The food is basically gray wheat bread, pickled vegetable roots, and pitifully few Jerky.

And they can eat fragrant rye bread, large pieces of beef and hot coarse garlic soup, which also allows them to survive the arduous training.

Such treatment makes them feel different from others.

What surprised them the most was that every day Leon would jump off the beast ride, take off his cloak and armor, and run with them in the cold wind with his bare chest.

Gradually, no one complained about Leon's harshness any more. The recruits trained with the veterans to learn their fighting skills, and they were able to fight the veterans for several rounds during the combat training time before the night's rest.

Looking at the energetic young fighters in front of him, Leon nodded with satisfaction, and the independent brigade, which had joined half of the recruits, basically completed the integration process.

But in order to become a real elite, the independent brigade still needs to be tested by the flames of war. Veterans have no problem, and recruits can never become real soldiers without being stained with blood.

"go!"

Leon drove the bronze-armored rhino, accelerated forward with a few followers, and quickly caught up with the supply camp ahead.

The Southwest Army Corps on the expedition to the extreme north had a supply battalion of hundreds of carriages, responsible for transporting food and supplies, and they also shouldered the important task of supplying the needs of the entire army.

Baron Reynard, who is in charge of this supply battalion, is a senior quartermaster. He has the unique shrewdness and penny-pinching character of the fox-born. It is almost impossible for anyone to take advantage of him.

But when the old fox found Leon who was catching up from behind, his first reaction was to get into the tent to pretend he was not there.

"Baron Reynard, I'm here. Don't tell me you don't welcome me that much?" Leon laughed and stepped forward to run parallel with the quartermaster's carriage.

damn it!Baron Reynard cursed secretly, gave up the idea of ​​hiding, and asked with a straight face: "Baron Leon, you should understand how unwelcome you are with me, and I remember that your munitions were released a few days ago. It's been posted!"

"That's not enough!" Leon said without shame, "We were only allocated [-] pounds of jerky, and we've already eaten it. Give us another few thousand pounds!"

Two thousand pounds of jerky was eaten in just three days!Baron Reynard felt a surge of blood.

God of Beasts, because of Count Octavia's order, he has already taken good care of the independent brigade, supplying supplies completely according to the standards of the main force of the third war regiment, and those ordinary territorial troops can be divided into half at a time. The pound of jerky is about to snicker.

But the independent brigade ate up [-] pounds in three days, and shamelessly came to ask for it again. It really seemed that the supplies of the supply camp were exhausted!

"No more, not even a pound!" The old fox roared through gritted teeth, "I gave it all to you, let others drink the northwest wind!"

The smile on Leon's face didn't diminish at all: "Why not, I obviously still have a few big cars, you can give it to me first, and then buy it in the next town to make up for it, at worst, I will pay for it myself!"

"It's not a question of money!" Baron Reynard explained with a bitter face: "If I give it to you, I will lose the share of others. These large carts of beef are prepared for the cavalry battalion. If they blame it, I really can't bear it." ..."

"The cavalry battalion can't eat so much..." Leon raised his eyebrows, "I won't embarrass you, just take one cart!"

Without waiting for the other party's consent or not, Leon made a show at Yan Hammer who was following behind him, and Yan Hammer immediately led someone to intercept him knowingly.

"How could you do this? This is robbery!" The old fox shouted angrily, "Naked robbery!"

But no matter how furious he was, under the threat of the warrior's tomahawk, the heavy soldiers behind did not dare to disobey, and obediently let out the carriage full of dried meat.

Leon, who succeeded, laughed and walked away, leaving only the old fox hopping on the carriage: "I swear, I will definitely complain to Count Octavia about you! You barbarian from the countryside!"

This kind of scene is no stranger to the independent brigade that followed, because it has happened many times along the way. The veterans of Thunder Beast think it is normal, but the feeling of those new recruits is very different.

Because the supplies that Leon forcibly seized from the quartermaster were not for his own squandering and enjoyment, but for everyone. Such a leader and officer is what all soldiers look forward to.

From disgust, fear to trust and reverence, the psychology of the recruits has quietly changed, leaving an indelible mark in their hearts!

Soon, Count Octavia, who was at the front, received the seventh complaint report from Baron Reynard.

Although the language of the report this time was more intense, describing Leon as a brutal visitor and the biggest scourge of the army, the Earl just smiled and threw the report aside.

As the commander-in-chief of the army, it is impossible for him to know nothing about the independent brigade, but the Earl not only did not have any dislike for Leon's actions along the way, but admired them very much, because he had figured out Leon's purpose.

Being able to bring such a team under his command did not take him to condescend to make friends with him.

As for the trivial matter of snatching supplies, what is that?Behemoth's army should have the spirit of bravery, how can soldiers who are as docile as sheep go to the battlefield?

Count Octavia is even thinking about whether he can take Leon into his camp after the war is over. Maybe marriage is a good choice.

With his attitude, Baron Reynard is doomed to continue to be depressed and aggrieved!

Leon in the rear didn't know that Count Octavia actually had his own idea. He led an increasingly elite independent brigade and headed north with his head held high.

The battlefield intertwined with iron and blood is the place where men make achievements and become famous!
