Chapter 230 Elion on the endless plain
Seeing these beautiful female elves with bright eyes and white teeth looking at him with deadly magic bows, Carter felt an inexplicable pressure for the first time.
"The Flower of Thorns of Avalon is such a vivid name, as lovely as the thorns."
With more than 600 Avalon sisters shooting at the same time, even a fifteen-meter-level Chaos Giant would be shot into pieces in one round. Even a rough-skinned dragon demon would have to be shot in the face of these female killers.
Stay away.
"On behalf of the First Corps, I welcome all sisters to join! I hope that together we can happily slay the evil entrenched in Ulthuan and let the filthy evil believers meet their evil god as soon as possible. God bless Asul!"
"God bless Assur!"
The volleys and shouts of the six hundred Avalon sisters were quite astonishing. The guards brought by Carter were also infected by the swallows shouting in unison and shouted loudly together.
"We meet again, but this time I have to call you sir."
Carter saw a few people in the team of Avalon sisters who had met each other, including the waiter and hostess who worked in the garden when he went to the city to inquire about news a few days ago, or who were walking in the street.
The stall owner whom I had a few words with when I was shopping for Emilia.
"You don't have to be surprised, Commander of the Corps. Even though we work in all walks of life, we will never forget our ability to serve the Queen and the Mother Goddess."
Irena, the group leader who was following Carter, shook the magic bow engraved with runes in her hand and said confidently.
The biggest difference between the Avalon sisters and most elven archers is that they are generally equipped with magic bows and magic arrows. Both their power and range are far greater than ordinary longbows. They are especially suitable and good at dealing with heavy armor, large or difficult-to-gnaw enemies.
enemy.
As if to establish her power, the female leader of the sister group took out a light arrow and put it on the bow, and easily pulled the bow string with three fingers. With a slight sound of loosening the string, the arrow flew away at a very high speed.
Got out.
The light arrow with a vertical trajectory easily flew over a distance of more than two hundred meters and was nailed to a tree. There was an unknown fruit stuck in the arrow.
"Wonderful!"
Carter, who could see clearly, couldn't help but clapped his hands. This ability made him more and more satisfied with the Avalon sisters. He thought he couldn't accurately shoot such a small fruit from two hundred meters away, even if
It's not even possible to give him a magic bow. Only long-lived elves can accurately hit the target at such a long distance with a bow and arrow.
The ancient masters in the previous life could only cross a poplar in a hundred steps at most, but they have never heard of a hundred and fifty steps crossing a poplar, which is the difference between a little over a hundred meters and a little over two hundred meters.
"These are the 2,500 horses that Her Majesty the Queen personally ordered to be delivered to the Rock of Eternity. Please sign for them."
The official sent by the noble council intervened and pointed at the huge herd of horses that were coming not far away, driven by several horse herders.
Once a person passes through a sea of thousands of people, let alone a horse?
Although there are many horses in the First Corps, they are usually scattered and never gather together in such large numbers.
Looking at the potential energy formed by three thousand horses, it was so amazing that Carter couldn't help but imagine the scene of thousands of elf knights charging at the same time. The momentum of their charging would be difficult for even the demon army to stop easily.
It can be said that this trip was fruitful. Six hundred powerful long-range shooters and so many horses kept Carter with a smile on his face during the journey back.
…
The soldiers of the corps who had already started packing equipment according to the order were already packed at this time. The packed tents, tools and supplies were piled on one carriage after another. However, compared with the number of people in the corps
It seems that the number of these carriages is actually not large, with an average of only two per company.
[The First Corps is traveling lightly and does not need to carry a large amount of food. All rations are reimbursed by the Avalon Office and will be provided by the villages and towns along the way. Her Majesty the Queen has sent supervisors to supervise the villages and towns along the way to strictly abide by this decree. ]
It was this order that allowed the First Corps to abandon the food that occupied the most space and streamline the vehicles it needed to carry as much as possible.
After returning to the military camp, Carter arranged for the Avalon Sisters and formed them into independent formations as his own troops. Carter returned to his tent and began to finalize the marching order of the team.
It is impossible and unnecessary for more than 10,000 people to form a marching column, as that would be too bloated and unresponsive.
It is best to divide into three teams, advance in the form of three armies in the front, middle and rear, with three thousand people in one team, so that no matter what situation they encounter, they can respond in time.
Carter looked at the list of troops and fell into deep thought.
…
The organization of the First Corps is roughly as follows:
[Sky Eagle Brigade, the number of troops is 3020. As the main force, the first ten companies are equipped with a full set of magic equipment. They have been the absolute main force since the establishment of the corps.
Drowdel’s fifth legion has a troop strength of 2,875, and Drowdel’s seventh legion has a troop strength of 3,120.]
These two legions were transferred from Djoder's new troops by Aris Anar when the First Corps was formed. Initially, their equipment and combat effectiveness were not very good, but after several months of training, they have made great progress.
progress. As an auxiliary force, they cooperate with the Skyhawk Battalion to fight, and at the same time undertake logistical work, proving through facts that they are quite reliable.
In addition, there is a new recruit camp, whose members are more than a thousand recruits who were recruited just a few days ago. They are all recruited from refugees from various countries. Their weapons and equipment are not very complete, but they have a strong sense of fighting.
Today, the First Corps has welcomed a new member, the 'Sisters of Avalon Thorn Flowers', which was just established in Carter's writing. It exists as an independent battalion. In addition, the mages and cavalry are all serving as
An independent unit, directly under Carter's command. Because there are not many people, it forms a separate unit.
"It's still the same, with the Skyhawk Battalion taking the lead. The new barracks, the Fifth Legion, the Sisters and the Baggage Corps serve as the center, while the Seventh Legion serves as the rear, heading along the road to the border of Avalon and Elion to meet our
Reinforcements.”
After making arrangements for the march, Carter also allowed the guards to come in and pack all the documents on the desk.
Thanks to the horses sent by Avalon, the regiment's mobility has been greatly improved. It has changed from a pure infantry to a semi-mounted force, and the daily marching distance has changed from 30 to 40 kilometers.
…
"Her Majesty the Queen personally ordered it! The people of Avalon need to prepare food and resting places for the coming First Regiment. All expenses must be paid from the royal treasury, and can also be offset by taxes."
In the villages and towns along the way, the Queen's maids arrived first on horseback or on eagles. They held high the decree signed by the Eternal Queen and, accompanied by the local village chief or officials, read it loudly to the gathered residents.
The loyal people of Avalon immediately obeyed the Eternal Queen's decree and began to prepare tents and food in large quantities under the guidance of maids and officials.
It is precisely because of their efforts that the First Corps did not encounter ration problems at all along the way. Every time the soldiers of the three armies came to the meal time, they would meet the Avalon people who had been waiting for them and prepare delicious meals for them. As night fell,
There would always be tents set up waiting for them to move in. These actions cooperated with the propaganda of the grassroots officers. Before this, many Nagareth elf soldiers did not really understand that the concept of ten kingdoms and one race began to truly take effect.
Many soldiers who originally didn't understand why they wanted to guard the pass became more proactive.
