Chapter 15 The whole army is ready to go
"Yeah, the king is coming."
At Xihai Post, Qingqiu Ziyue was as excited as a child and cheered when she heard the news that Yang Xu was coming.
She raised her arms high, waving her slender fist that could kill a dinosaur with one punch, and jumped up and down in the spacious living room. The majestic peaks were trembling and eye-catching.
Qingluan is still the transformed image of Qingluan bird.
She squatted elegantly on the back of the chair, looked calmly at Qingqiu Ziyue, who looked like a husky, and considered, "Although the king said he would come, he won't come within a day or two."
The West Sea Post is more than a hundred miles away from the Royal City in a straight line.
More than a hundred miles sounds very short. In a modern society with developed transportation, it only takes half an hour on the highway, and only takes about an hour on ordinary national highways.
It would be faster if you take a plane or a high-speed rail.
But in the wild world, in this terrifying world covered by ancient dense forests, it is too difficult to go to a place more than a hundred miles away in a straight line. You need to pass through dense jungles, avoid countless ferocious wild beasts, and all kinds of impossible
The described weirdness and traps from nature may require walking twice as long or even longer distance, which may take five to seven days.
This has to go well.
If things don't go well, sleeping on the road is also a very common outcome.
Even if Xu Guo opens up two routes to the West Sea, it will still face great difficulties every time it changes its garrison troops.
Qingqiu Ziyue understood this truth, but didn't care.
Isn't it just five or six days? It's a joke.
She smiled happily and said: "It doesn't matter, the king will be fine anyway."
"Hmph, when the king comes to the West Sea Post, I can be alone with the king..."
Qingqiu Ziyue's fox eyes narrowed into crescent moons, her handsome and heroic face was filled with happiness and joy, and she made no secret of her expectations for the future.
When she was in the royal city, although she used various excuses to be around Yang Xu, as the king of Xu Kingdom and the leader of the tribe, Yang Xu would always have the opposite sex around him.
The chance of Qingqiu Ziyue and Yang Xu being alone is infinitely close to zero.
It's different now. Yang Xu definitely can't bring the palace maid with him when he comes to Xihai Post, and her resourceful sister can't come with her. There's no one who can stop her and Yang Xu from being alone.
Thinking of this wonderful future, Qingqiu Ziyue smiled from ear to ear, and Qingluan couldn't help but roll his eyes wildly.
What an idiot!
Is now the time to think about this?
Qingluan did not hide his dissatisfaction and sneered: "You should think about how to give the king a satisfactory answer first."
Qingqiu Ziyue was stunned for a moment, her fox eyes blinked, but she didn't react.
reply?
She was stunned for a moment and then asked doubtfully: "What's the answer? Are they from outsiders?"
Qingluan rolled his eyes and was speechless at Qingqiu Ziyue's hindsight. Can we think more about the business and less about the things that we have and don't have?
Besides, there is this girl here.
You and the king are alone together, haha.
╭(╯^╰)╮Huh, dreaming.
She said angrily: "Are you going to wait until the king comes before taking action?"
Qingqiu Ziyue suddenly realized it, flattened her mouth indifferently, and said casually: "Isn't it you?"
"I have given you the responsibility for this matter."
"I told you earlier."
"Eh~~ You won't forget, right?"
Qingqiu Ziyue looked at Qingluan suspiciously, with a questioning expression that said you don't want to be lazy and playful, which made Qingluan fall into silence.
Qingqiu Ziyue has already explained this matter.
But........
As a commander, is it reasonable to do nothing?
Facts have proved that this is very reasonable.
Who could expect a stupid fox to do more.
Qingluan didn't say anything more, waving his wings and left Qingqiu Ziyue's room.
----------------------------------------
Before starting the trip, the most important thing is to plan the route.
A safe and feasible route is the most important factor in ensuring a safe journey.
Currently, Xu Guo has two routes to go to the West Sea Post. One is via a large river dozens of miles east of Chaoyang City. It first goes north along this river, then turns to the outlet of the West Sea, and finally goes south to the West Sea Post.
With a total length of four to five hundred miles, this route is the longest route, but it is also the fastest and safest.
If everything goes well, it will only take four or five days to reach the West Sea Post.
Usually Xu Guo takes this route when changing defense.
The other way is to go west along the Black Rock Mountains, reach near the west coast and then turn north to the West Sea Post.
This road is only a little over two hundred miles long, but it is even more dangerous. The entire journey is done on foot, and if you need to carry a large amount of supplies, it will take at least five or six days to reach the outpost.
After thinking about it, Yang Xu decided to lead two hundred soldiers to take the route of Black Rock Mountain.
Starting from here, you can pass through Blackstone Town of the Bluebird Clan, take a short rest in Blackstone Town, and mobilize some soldiers from Blackstone Town to strengthen the strength of the West Sea Outpost and prepare for possible conflicts and wars in the future.
Of course, these are not the most important reasons.
The most important reason is that Yang Xu needs to take the opportunity to clean up the ferocious beasts along the way, obtain more life energy, and activate the second level authority as soon as possible.
As for the royal city, although there are only three hundred soldiers left, it is not important.
Although Xu Kingdom has only 2,500 soldiers in name, ordinary subjects are not weak lambs. They also possess extraordinary fighting power. The royal city has nearly half of the population of Xu Kingdom. Even if there are no troops stationed here, Xu Kingdom is the most powerful.
's city.
Going out with an army is a big deal.
Although Yang Xu was eager to understand what happened in the West Sea, he did not rush to lead the army to the West Sea post.
After everything was ready, all departments were notified that day and no action was taken until the next morning.
Most of the two hundred soldiers were from the Fox tribe, and the Bluebird tribe and the Sharman tribe together only accounted for one-third.
In order to ensure a smooth journey, Yang Xu took Yun Xiao, one of the commanders of the Xu Kingdom's army, with him.
The army of Xu Kingdom adopts a simple and ancient organization.
There is one corps commander for every five people, which is the smallest establishment of the army. Usually, most operations are conducted in corps units.
There is one chief minister for every thirty people.
There is one centurion for every hundred people.
There is one commander for every five hundred people.
The commander is currently the highest position in Xuguo's army.
The sky was slightly bright, and the warm sun had not yet passed through the towering cliffs and entered the royal city. An army of two hundred people was already waiting in line outside the city.
They are fully armed.
Most of the fox tribe wear leather armor, and the color is mainly blue-gray.
Although alloy armor is good, its output is limited, and most fox tribes are mainly agility. Although their telekinesis is powerful, their physical strength is not much stronger than that of ordinary humans. Metal armor that is too bulky will limit the agility of the fox tribe.
The shark clan transformed into a human form, wearing a white waisted long-sleeved dress.
They are all as beautiful as flowers, petite and exquisite, just like ladies going out for an outing.
The Blue Bird clan holds bows and arrows and wears black tights, outlines a graceful and streamlined figure, and has a pair of sharp eyes like a falcon, full of oppression.
Around the army and on both sides of the road, the residents of the royal city woke up early after receiving the news, and came to see him off with solemn and respectful expressions.
This is the tradition of Xu Kingdom.
When the army goes out for war, the people will come to see them off, express their blessings to their relatives and friends, and hope that they can return safely.
The population of Xu Kingdom is close to 10,000, and half of the population lives in the royal city. This includes all pregnant women and children in Xu Kingdom. This is to facilitate the care of children and ensure the safety of the next generation of Xu Kingdom.
Thousands of people gathered around the army, talking a lot, and most of them were worried.
They heard about what happened in the West Sea yesterday, learned that other tribes came from the vast West Sea, and even learned that Yang Xu was going to go on an expedition in person, so they couldn't help but feel worried about this.
Yang Xu is not only the king of Xu Kingdom, but also their belief.
They didn't dare to think about what the enemy from the West Sea was, and they couldn't understand it.
