******************
The sky was gloomy, and the howling north wind kept blowing. A human army meandered on the wasteland. After a while, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and raindrops as big as soybeans began to fall.
There were shouts of people and horses everywhere in the team. This heavy rain made many people in the army curse. It had been seven days in a row since they left the city, and they could encounter such heavy rain almost every day.
"Okay, Kamalas, don't complain. Quickly organize the soldiers to set up camp. Looking at the situation, we can't leave today."
The messenger in front rode along the marching team and loudly conveyed the instructions from above, telling everyone to go to the campsite and set up camp on the spot. The cursing soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The march speeded up, and soon they came to a mountain col in front, where a large number of carriages and horses had gathered. The auxiliary soldiers who were originally following the team were constantly overtaking the marching team from behind and rushed here, and then from
Unload the camping tools and equipment from the car and start setting up camp.
Although the soldiers who entered the col were very tired, they all began to join the construction team under the command of their commanders, after clearly dividing the work.
Some soldiers went to the top of the mountain to guard, while other soldiers joined the auxiliary troops and began to carry tools and equipment and set up camp.
Although it was raining heavily outside, the soldiers moved in an orderly manner, and did not slow down the speed and movement of setting up camp because of the heavy rain.
Pieces of modular wooden pile walls were taken out from the bullock carts and then pierced into the ground to form the wall of the camp. Then another group of soldiers were inside the wall, constantly leveling the ground and digging drainage ditches, piece by piece.
Areas were quickly divided, tents were set up one after another, and soon smoke was rising from the kitchen, and even bursts of aroma were emitting.
Xiao Feng was sitting on the top of a mountain in the distance, sitting in a Humvee, looking at the camp at the foot of the mountain. It was quickly formed in just a few hours and completed meticulously. He expressed great satisfaction.
He was very satisfied with the qualities reflected in the army. The coordination, discipline, and obedience were basically within the standards of a strong army. It seemed that the training minutes he and Kyle compiled together were very effective.
The soldiers have begun to demonstrate the qualities of a strong army, which makes him very satisfied. Previously, he was very worried about whether these soldiers who did not understand everything from left to right could be successfully trained.
At present, it seems that these soldiers are performing quite well, with strong collective consciousness, good discipline, and good obedience. At least on the battlefield, the kind of collapse scene after encountering orcs should not happen.
At the same time, Commander Kamaras was leading ten of his soldiers to a party in the dining area outside the kitchen. Each of them was holding a wooden dinner plate in their hands and wearing raincoats and long tubes.
Rain boots.
Although there was heavy rain in the sky and the temperature was not high, there were not many places on their bodies that got wet, which made them feel warm in their hearts.
Kamalas used to be a peasant soldier in the Catron Empire. He was a free citizen. His family farmed a piece of land. In addition to paying taxes, the annual output was basically enough to feed the whole family. As for other clothing,
, for the small needs of wearing shoes, you can only make them by yourself.
Moreover, once the country has war needs, he has to join the army unconditionally and prepare his own weapons, equipment and even supplies. Only after he joins the army and starts training, will the kingdom provide everyone with food.
As for weapons and equipment, forget about it. You need to prepare leather armor yourself. There is no need to think about the poncho he is wearing now, not to mention the boots on his feet. Only nobles can wear leather boots.
Looking at the glued boots on his feet, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. It would be great to hang out with the mage. Not to mention the weapons and equipment, he was given ponchos, rain boots, military uniforms and armor. He would work hard for such a master.
, it’s really worth it.
The ponchos and rain boots are made of a certain kind of gum from this world and applied to special fabrics. This is also Xiao Feng's idea. Otherwise, people in this world would not know what ponchos and rain boots are at all.
.
Don't underestimate these two pieces of equipment. In this rainy world, these two items are definitely treasures. Problems such as work and life in rainy days that have always troubled mankind can be solved with these two treasures. After the equipment is given to the army, it will be greatly improved.
improved the morale of the soldiers.
Soon Kamalas came to the cooking area. The fat guy who was cooking put a big spoonful of white rice on his wooden plate, and the soldier who was behind him put another spoonful of white rice on his rice.
A spoonful of pickles fried in hot oil, and the last soldier added a large chicken leg to his dinner plate.
Finally, use a wooden bowl and pour a large bowl of hot chicken soup. On such a cold rainy day, with such a meal, many people are willing to die for the Master.
Think about it, what kind of life did they live before they came to Riverrun?
Although Kamalas is a free citizen, when he was in the Catron Empire, he only ate rough pancakes with wild vegetables every day. If he wanted to eat meat, unless something happy happened at the territory's master's house, he rewarded the residents in the jurisdiction.
when.
Or when there was no farm work, he would take his brothers and children to the river to catch fish, or to hunt in the forest when he could hunt some prey.
But the meatiness is nothing compared to their current food. They have white rice every meal, sometimes steamed buns made from white flour, or noodles, and every now and then they can have a big meat meal.
Ma De, on days like this, even the nobles who used to be their territory may not be able to eat!
And there are not many soldiers like Kamalas who have the same idea in this camp.
At this time, Xiao Feng had returned to the main camp and was watching the photos taken by the drone. Before setting off, they also specially selected many orc prisoners for torture. They also had a look at the situation north of the city wall.
I think I have some general understanding.
Judging from the photos taken by drones, the orc captives did not tell lies to them.
The River Run next to Riverrun meanders out of the valley to the north. The river mainly collects the streams flowing down the mountain. However, the main source of this river is still a piece of snow across two continents in the north.
Domain Mountains.
Those snow-capped mountains block the cold current blowing from the ocean to the north. The water vapor brought by the cold air condenses into snow on the top of the mountain. Every day in spring and summer, the snow melts and flows down the mountain, forming this majestic running river.
On the north side of the rushing river, after passing through a vast mountain range, there are two main branches. Of these two branches, one extends from the direction of the Catron Empire on the east side of the continent, and the other branch
It extended from the direction of the Toulon Empire on the west side of the continent.
The Black Wind Canyon where Xiao Feng and the others went for a sneak attack last time was along the tributary on the east side, and this time Xiao Feng and the others planned to take the tributary on the west side.
According to the accounts of the orc captives, along the tributary to the west, there will be several gourd-shaped basins surrounded by mountains, and there will be many human cities in those basins.
However, those human cities have all been conquered by the orcs, and now they are all enfeoffed territories of the orcs. The forces of various tribes are scattered among them, making it a complicated place.
But after analyzing the rhetoric of the orc captives, Xiao Feng felt that this was a place worthy of their attack. First of all, this area had been included under the rule of the orcs for a short time.
Moreover, it is said that many castles were divided into different tribes. It is said that when the spheres of influence were first divided, the orcs had ugly quarrels among themselves, and there were even armed fights. In the end, it was the high priest who came forward to suppress them.
.
In this way, it will be difficult for the orcs in this area to form a joint force. If they fight all the way, they can easily be caught off guard.
Secondly, according to the accounts of the orcs, there were not many humans living in these basins, and when the orc army attacked, they did not put up too much resistance, so the number of captured human slaves was
Quite a few, which is consistent with Xiao Feng's idea of rescuing a large number of humans.
Because of this, Xiao Feng decided to attack this piece of gourd land first.
Although the human army was equipped with a large number of horses and ox-carts, the marching speed was not very fast because of the rain. Of course, Xiao Feng would not follow them stupidly.
In fact, a few days ago, he had already driven a Hummer with Friday, left the team, and went to the front to conduct reconnaissance. This time when he returned to another world, he also brought a lot of drones.
At this time, the drone also played a role. Yesterday, they finally got close to the mouth of the Hulu Basin, and the drone they released also took many photos.
The terrain of this area is very strange. To the north is a vast range of mountains running east to west, and the west side of the Benliu River winds out of one of the valleys, and the mouth of this valley is the Gourd Basin.
At the mouth of the valley, there is a castle originally built by humans, but now it has been occupied by orcs.
The geographical location of this castle is relatively average. Outside the valley entrance is a large river and mountains, and inside there is also a rotten land with lots of rocks. It is not suitable for farming and can only be used for grazing on the hillside. Therefore, this barren land was given to the kobolds.
.
Judging from the photos taken by the drone, this castle is not big. There are probably hundreds of kobolds living in it, but there are quite a few human slaves. They are released by the kobolds every day, and among them
