When stationed at a riverside camp at night, each squadron was given five marching tents. When camping by the river, there is no need to consider drinking water, but the trouble is that there are too many mosquitoes. This is the southernmost point of the Ganbu plane.
No matter where you camp in the rainforest, mosquitoes are inevitable.
When camping in the summer, you have to set up a tent to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes while sleeping.
Only twelve recruits had to be squeezed into each tent, which was indeed a bit crowded for this type of standard marching tent.
Although there was no yellow mutton soup in the evening, dinner turned into oatmeal mixed with cabbage and luncheon meat. Even the great swordsman Quintas couldn't figure out where Surdak got so much.
Of cabbage.
When the new army climbed out of the tents the next morning, they found twelve pairs of long leather boots hanging outside each tent. This was even more outrageous. They had walked on the dirt road for a whole day without starting yesterday morning.
, at this time, I happened to get this kind of long leather boots with a shiny and dark surface. This kind of standard leather boots has a very sophisticated production process and is also very strong. It is more suitable for walking on such muddy mountain roads.
Although the armor and weapons have not yet been divided, these new troops have already felt what is different from the regular army, and these ordinary benefits are simply great.
Before distributing weapons, Suldak and Ned Mosby conducted a survey among each squadron and organized all new troops who were good at archery into a separate squadron.
On the night of the third day, Quartermaster Louis Fitch and Suldak calculated the military expenditure of these supplies.
Because Surdak has brought over the standard weapons of the heavy armored infantry regiment, a squadron of sixty people is divided into shield warriors and spear warriors, with thirty knight long swords and thirty fleur-de-lis shields.
Slightly lighter than a tower shield, this skinned shield is named after blue fleur-de-lis printed on its surface.
In addition, it is equipped with thirty Paglio spears. The blades of these spears purchased by Surdak are all added with lapis lazuli to improve their sharpness. The handles of each spear are made of iron and wood, and the top
Engraved with spiral patterns, one can tell at a glance that it is produced by the Dwarf Master, the most famous weapon shop in Bena City for making spears.
Quartermaster Louis Fitch is indeed an old military quartermaster. He didn't even need Suldak to quote the prices of these items. He just added 20% to the original prices of these items and converted the payment into magic crystals.
Return the stone to Surdak.
The quartermaster calculated silently while chattering endlessly: "The military department asked you to form a heavy armored infantry regiment. It seems to be true. Along the way, you have equipped these resistance forces with almost top-notch infantry."
Equipment, the four-leaf clover water bag from the Auchinleck Leatherworking Workshop, only Benet people know how exquisitely made this thing is."
"This is a copper lunch box from a copper shop in Coder County. Who told you that the copper lunch boxes made by his family are the most durable?"
"Diggler from Wood's Blacksmith's Shop is used by you as a skinning table knife. Why don't you change the knight's long sword they distribute to the green fury?"
Surdak could only say with a smile on his face: "You still have a pair of leather boots and no comment..."
"Those boots are military standard boots. What can I say?" Quartermaster Louis Fitch rolled his eyes upward and said.
…
I don’t know if it’s because the new army can eat wheat cakes and cereal with luncheon meat every day, or because they have distributed a new set of armaments, which makes other resistance armies around them extremely envious.
You know... which of the items used by these new armies in the past were not ripped from corpses?
Then something happened along the way that created a trend.
There will always be some Resistance Army camps along the way, so whenever the team passes by these camps, there will always be a small group of Resistance Army soldiers gathering on the forest path, quietly joining Surdak's heavy armored infantry regiment.
Come here.
When camping every night, Surdak would find that the team was growing continuously, and Surdak needed to prepare new armaments for these new troops.
Fortunately, when he was purchasing in Bena City, each item was customized according to 20,000 copies. For these stores, Suldak was also the first big order this spring. If there was stock, he would directly place it first.
Clear inventory.
Samira and Siya have to register the new troops every day. The heavy armored infantry regiment has been gone for nearly a week, and the team already looks like a regular army. At least every time these recruits move, they move in small groups.
As a unit, everyone works together.
Moreover, the number of soldiers in Surdak's heavy armored infantry regiment quickly doubled from 3,000 to more than 6,700.
Now the heavy armored infantry regiment of Surdak has been divided into five battle groups, of which the first four battle groups are currently at full strength.
The fifth team is the reserve team, and new troops that join one after another will enter the fifth battle group.
…
On the eighth day after leaving Canyon Town, the heavy armored infantry regiment was still walking through the rain forest and did not enter the territory of Bansk Town.
Archmage Harper of the magician group who was walking in front of the team found Surdak specifically and said to him solemnly:
"The magician who was scouting in front today has seen the black magician on the opposite side scouting over the jungle, but the other side ran away immediately when he saw our people."
Suldak immediately pulled out the map and confirmed that the current position of the infantry regiment was at least a hundred miles away from the border of Bansk Town territory.
"I didn't expect them to prepare for the Eastern Expedition so soon. I thought they would be held back by the resistance soldiers scattered in the mountains." Surdak said with a frown. He originally planned to rescue the resistance soldiers in the mountains.
Come out and become the backbone of the infantry regiment. They are veterans who crawled out of the death pit.
Only by completely clearing them out can the Lords of the Third Legion begin their Eastern Expedition.
"Tomorrow I will ask the magicians to increase the scope of investigation to see if they can find the main force of the Third Legion." Archmage Harper said.
"I will also prepare for the battle here. It is better to fight in the suburbs than to have them huddle in the town. When the time comes, I will rebuild the town after it is destroyed..."
Surdak said confidently.
That night, Surdak took out 1,500 pieces of infantry heavy armor and equipped the First Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment.
However, shield warriors also need a lot of physical strength to wear this kind of full-coverage armor. Generally speaking, spear warriors wear half-body armor without leg guards and arm guards.
The entire camp was completely boiling, and quartermaster Louis Fitch also covered his eyes, looking like he couldn't bear to look directly, and stood outside the camp, saying with a painful expression: "I should have guessed... you would buy it.
This kind of alloy full-cover armor mixed with black iron, you probably have completely revitalized the 'Guteqi' blacksmith shop this time. I believe that their manager will not be able to make such a very cost-effective full-cover armor in the future.
"
Suldak stood next to quartermaster Louis Fitch and said: "Actually, it's not bad. I ordered 10,000 sets from the store..."
