1040. The merchant group with the army on the plateau 1
Orange sky, dark clouds faded.
You can see the towering snow-capped mountains in the north of the plateau, and the clouds forming a gray-white blur in the sky.
The green grassland is dotted with small white flowers with a touch of light yellow on the stamens. A large group of war horses are eating green grass outside the military camp. This is the biggest benefit of the coalition forces entering the plateau. They no longer need to provide a large amount of fodder for the war horses.
You must know that the current number of horses in Surdak's Bena coalition army alone exceeds 12,000, and the hay and beans consumed every day are calculated on a cart basis.
Now that the ground is full of green grass, there is no need to prepare a large amount of fodder mixed with beans for the war horses. However, these war horses still need to be fed some grain black beans every night to ensure that the war horses do not lose weight during the march.
The two-headed ogre's injuries healed quickly, but there were very clear burn marks on his skin from being struck by lightning. Those scars were flesh-pink and looked like a tree growing upside down.
A tree on his shoulder had no leaves and was branched into countless tiny branches.
Gulitem didn't care about the new scars on his body. For the ogre, every trace left on his body recorded a thrilling experience...
"Don't you feel that when you are struck by lightning, your whole body is numb and electric arcs are running through your body? In fact, it is quite comfortable!"
There is a bandage wrapped around Naohua'er's neck, and there are four holes where he was bitten by the King of Hell Dogs. Given the super-resilient power of the ogre's body, these wounds have survived for so long.
After recovery, there was a trace of rich black energy in the wound, as if it had vitality, preventing the flesh and blood from healing.
However, this injury did not seem to affect Naohua's mood. He raised his hand with a smile, and there was actually a little bit of lightning power in the flame in his hand.
"No!" Gulitem said simply.
Obviously, as a good brother who shares the same body, Gulitem knows exactly what Naohua'er is thinking.
"Then can you... for me... I mean, look at the changes caused by this flame. I think it is a small improvement for us, so I think it's okay for her to shoot us with an arrow occasionally. That half-elf
She is your friend, can you please ask her to shoot us with an arrow once in a while?"
Naohua'er said carefully.
"cannot!"
Gulitem rejected his good brother without hesitation.
A gust of wind blew, and the young grass leaves in the meadow swayed gently in the breeze. A grasshopper rested on the grass blades, spread out its translucent wings, flew far away in the breeze, and landed on the stem of a wild leek.
.
The two heads of the two-headed ogre were raised almost simultaneously, and their nostrils were constantly flaring.
He supported himself on the grass with one hand, stood up from the grass with his burly body, and frightened a group of grasshoppers away.
He looked into the distance and saw a convoy going around the grassy slope in the distance and slowly driving towards the camp.
"Oh, look at the logistics supply convoy. Finally, on those carriages, I smell a smell of ham."
Gulitem said to Naohua excitedly.
Nao Hua'er also blinked, smiled honestly at Gulitem and said, "It would be better if I could get some more of the salamander ribs I had last time."
…
This is a motorcade filled with various goods. Each carriage is piled with various goods and tied very tightly with ropes. There are also some mercenaries riding horses surrounding the motorcade.
The styles of leather armor worn by the mercenaries are somewhat varied, but everyone looks like an elite warrior who is armed to the teeth.
The convoy did not drive into the military camp. They drove over slowly and stopped on the grassy slope opposite the camp.
When the carriage stopped, the carriage drivers took out some tents from the carriage and set them up on the spot. They also spread some leather on the grass in front of the carriage. They took out pieces of goods from the carriage and placed them on the stalls. Soon there were more than 20 people. A small market was set up on the grassy slope opposite the military camp.
On the stalls set up, there is a dazzling array of products, including porcelain, iron pots, belts, silver-plated cups, copper tea sets, etc. Of course, there are also dried chickens, ducks, hams, whole jars of pickles, salted fish, etc. Cheeses with strong local flavor, etc.
This market appeared at the entrance of the military camp in almost an hour, and many cavalry and heavy armored infantry came out to be busy.
Many people gathered in front of the stalls. They were tired of eating marching rations in the military camp every day. They secretly dug into their wallets and asked the stall owners for prices.
At the end of this caravan, there are some triangular tents with divination signs. Outside each tent, there is a plump woman in exaggerated clothing, holding a silver-plated plate in her hand. There is very little food in it, only one. A small plate of biscuits and a cup of milk tea, but who would care about such a small amount of food if they are willing to come here to spend money.
The largest number of soldiers gathered here. The soldiers surrounded the inner and outer three floors. Almost all of them craned their necks to look inside. Not many people were actually willing to take the plates and walk into the tent.
…
Surdak stood in front of the big tent in the camp and could see the lively market opposite through the layers of tents.
A familiar breath rushed towards me.
Surdak recalled the days when he was at the Forest Farm Camp in Handanar County. There was such a temporary market on the hillside opposite the camp. Obviously, the market there was more lively, with at least ten business groups of various sizes. A few.
Now, a caravan has just arrived here, and it seems that this caravan came here in a group.
Suldak suddenly felt that the supply of the legion might not be so difficult in the future, and he could finally enter the depths of this plateau...
In the Green Empire's army supply system, the business group can be said to be an indispensable component.
Many lord armies raise their own funds when fighting overseas. The scale of these lord armies is not large. They do not have a dedicated logistics supply team. Sometimes they can rely on the great lord army to supplement various supplies through the supply line of the great lord army. Materials.
The heavy armored infantry regiment led by Suldak is a regular army prepared by the Bena Military Headquarters, so during the recent period, the logistics supply line has been prepared by the Bena Military Headquarters.
It was better when we were in Mukuso City. After all, there is only a portal between Luyite City and Mukuso City. Many supplies are available in Luyite City, and it is not a problem to transport them here, so the logistics supply is
There have never been any problems.
However, as the Bena coalition marched north, some minor problems began to arise in the supply of logistical supplies.
After the army entered the Sai Ruoman Plateau, the coalition forces could only stay at the north entrance of the Myra Mountain Canyon in the southwest of the plateau, waiting for the subsequent delivery of military supplies.
Now there is actually a caravan coming from Mukuso City, which can solve many problems...
…
The cavalry are very rich, and they don't care to spend more than ten copper coins to buy a piece of cheese, jerky or ham from their hometown.
In comparison, the soldiers in the infantry regiment seemed to have relatively limited resources.
When they went to the market, they just picked out some bargains, such as salted fish or pickled vegetables.
The heavy armored infantry corps under Surdak has a total strength of 25,000. It is the largest component of the Bena coalition army and is affiliated with the Bena military headquarters, not counting Surdak's private army.
These soldiers who came out of the resistance army had never seen a market set up at the entrance of the military camp during the war.
Privately, the soldiers lamented that the gap between the rebel army and the regular lord's army was really not the slightest, and they ran to the market with freshness and curiosity.
When we went on an expedition, we had to stay and eat in military camps. We all didn't have much money, so now we were a little dumbfounded when we saw the dazzling array of goods.
Especially when they walked to the dozen triangular tents at the end of the caravan and saw the buttery white bread squeezed out of the cups, the fire deep in their hearts was completely ignited.
So, just when everyone was thinking about where to get some money, they suddenly remembered that there is a merit exchange list in the army. When they were in Bansk Town, someone used the merit points on the exchange list to exchange for some gold coins.
, so someone ran to the logistics tent of the heavy armored infantry battalion and tried to exchange their achievements for gold coins...
As a result, one hundred points of merit were wiped out, and a golden and heavy gold coin was actually received.
The entire military camp was excited about this, but the merit exchange officers in the logistics department still took the trouble to remind these soldiers that the merit points placed here can be exchanged for gold coins at any time, but once exchanged for gold coins, they cannot be refunded.
It will be exchanged for performance points, so if you need gold coins, try to exchange as much as you want to spend, so as not to regret it later!
'Only a fool would regret it!'
In fact, most soldiers think so.
…
While the soldiers in the military camp were frantically redeeming their merits and buying random items at the temporary market, a business group called the Catchers in the Rye arrived at the Sai Ruoman Plateau transporting a large amount of food.
…
In the large tent of the military camp, Suldak decided to attack the nearest town of Reese tomorrow.
The commanders of the various lords' legions left their camps and prepared to leave here tomorrow morning.
The orderly outside came in and reported: The director of the Palme Bay Merchant Group asked to see Commander Surdak.
When Suldak walked to the tent door, he saw a very well-dressed businessman standing in front of the tent door.
The businessman wore a pair of brown breeches and riding boots on his lower body, and a white linen shirt and leather vest on his upper body. His hair and beard were neatly trimmed, and he looked capable and shrewd.
"Hello, Lord Suldak, I am Dirk, Dirk Triton, the director of the Palme Bay Merchant Group."
He bent down towards Surdak and said respectfully.
"Come in, Mr. Decker."
Surdak nodded to him. He was the commander of this coalition. When facing these businessmen, he did not need to be too friendly.
However, since Mr. Dirk's business group was the first business group to arrive at the gate of the military camp, and he was the first businessman to visit, Suldak decided to give him some preferential treatment.
