Suldak did not expect that Baron Goss would change his mind, so he sent people to catch up with a herd of 500 ancient Bolai horses, and completed the deal in the wild.
Although he was a bit slanderous towards Baron Goss, he was not cold enough to refuse this horse transaction. This transaction was also based on market conditions. Five hundred horses were converted into 10,000 gold coins, and Andrew took a pocket full of gold coins.
Following the servants in Baron Goss's manor, he returned to Baron Goss's manor by Bailin Lake and handed a pocket full of gold coins to Baron Goss in person.
Then Andrew and a guide caught up with the large group of cavalry battalions along the original road.
The cavalry battalion suddenly gained 500 Gubo horses, which doubled the size of the cavalry team and formed a long and long team on the grassland.
Fortunately, Suldak hired twenty-seven herdsmen in Watts Village. Thanks to their skillful horse herding skills, the newly sent horses were properly placed.
This time the cavalry battalion has more than a thousand war horses. Basically, each cavalry can have a war horse that can be transferred at any time. In this way, it will be much more convenient to march quickly in the future.
Fortunately, there are pastures along the way, so there is no need to prepare any extra fodder for the war horses. As long as the war horses drink water on time, these war horses have to eat grass on the grass for half an hour after drinking water. Although this little time is not enough for the war horses to fill their stomachs.
But it won't make them hungry.
These ancient Bo Lai war horses sent from the pasture have not undergone formal training. They cannot understand simple riding instructions and have not worn saddle covers. These must go through a period of training before the cavalry can ride normally.
Suldak gave the task of taming these 500 war horses to twenty-seven herdsmen. Apparently, the twenty-seven herdsmen were very happy with Surdak's arrangement, and started the work of domesticating the horses along the way.
Nika and Samira rode on the same horse together, and when the cavalry camp rested, they also ate together.
With Samira's special care, it only took Nika half a day to have a preliminary understanding of the cavalry battalion.
The cavalrymen in the cavalry camp were all kind to her. Only the girl named Xigna was a little hostile to her. Although the two had not said hello, she knew that this little princess in the military camp must be difficult to deal with.
Everyone in the military camp takes good care of Xigna. She spends most of her time on the white camel every day. She is a girl who doesn't like to talk much.
Samira took Nika with her and asked her to follow her to familiarize herself with the life in the military camp.
Unexpectedly, this local aboriginal girl was very adaptable and quickly knew what she should do every day.
The cavalry battalion had extra horses. In order to cover an extra distance every day, the cavalry would set off before dawn every day and camp after sunset. After four days of continuous journey, Suldak's cavalry battalion finally left Weil.
On the night of the eighth day in Kes City, we arrived at Duodan Town.
…
Surrounded by mountains, Dodan Town is an important pass leading to the Warcraft Forest in the northern part of the White Forest Plane.
The town is built on a highland surrounded by mountains. There is a valley road here that leads directly to the Warcraft Forest in the north of the White Forest Plane. If you don't take this valley road, the surrounding mountains will be like huge sharp teeth like blades. If you go from high altitude to
If you look down, you will find that the dangerous peaks around the Warcraft Forest are almost connected into one large area. If you want to bypass this pass and enter the northern Warcraft Forest, you will need to detour for at least two days.
So it is not an exaggeration to say that Duodan Town is called the gateway to the north of Bailin.
Dodan Town is more like a fortress than a small town.
Only Suldak and the cavalry battalion arrived at night.
Since it was night and everyone did not have an intuitive understanding of the entire town of Dodan, Suldak originally wanted the cavalry battalion to be stationed outside the city to spend the night and then change defenses with the garrison tomorrow morning.
Unexpectedly, the cavalry battalion of Langdon's Corps gave up the garrison camp overnight.
They were probably waiting impatiently. Before the garrison handover ceremony was completed, the commander of the cavalry battalion hurried to Wilkes City with the main force of the cavalry battalion, leaving only a few deputies to conduct garrison duty with Suldak.
handover.
Five hundred cavalrymen moved into the garrison barracks in the town. The dormitories in the barracks were three rows of wooden houses. Each row of wooden houses had about twenty dormitories. They were assigned their own dormitories according to the cavalry battalion teams. This process lasted until midnight.
There is also a row of newly built stables in the garrison camp. Most of the nearly one thousand war horses can be kept in the stables. Due to the limited scale of the stables, there are nearly a hundred horses left outside the stables overnight. Expanding the stables is probably a top priority.
one thing.
An officer wearing a magic pattern structure hurriedly walked over. He was also a noble baron. When he saw Suldak, he greeted him enthusiastically: "Hello, I am from the 27th Cavalry Battalion of the Langdon Regiment.
Deputy Commander Maynard has been specially ordered to stay in Dodan Town to carry out the garrison change and handover to you."
In the darkness of the night, Baron Maynard looked older than Suldak and looked very steady. He was giving a military salute as he spoke.
Surdak saluted him and inquired about him: "Hello, Commander Maynard! I am Surdak, the commander of the Lutheran Independent Cavalry Battalion. Next, I would like to trouble you to introduce the defense area and military affairs here.
, your battalion commander is in such a hurry to rush back to Wilkes City, is there something going on in the central city?"
Baron Maynard shook his head and said:
"It's not Wilkes City, but the home in Bena Province was attacked by Lord McDonnell's private army. The summons was sent to Dodan Town today. Even if your cavalry battalion does not arrive at Dodan Town tonight, we will
The main force of the cavalry battalion will also return to Wilkes tomorrow morning."
Suldak was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Lord McDonnell actually launched an offensive against the noble lords of the Bena Province after the Lutheran Army entered the White Forest Plane.
What surprised him even more was that the noble lords who bore the brunt were actually the Langdon family.
Suldak could only say euphemistically: "I didn't expect the situation at home to deteriorate so quickly..."
Baron Maynard also looked very bad. Anyone who heard such news would not be in a good mood. He said a little tiredly: "Baron Suldak, you have a good rest. I will take you first tomorrow morning."
Familiar with the defense area that expands to the north of Duodan Town, as well as the defense areas that need to be responsible for each area in the city."
In addition to being responsible for the security of the town, the garrison here is the border of the occupied area of the Bailin plane. They also need to patrol the border every day, in the morning, noon and evening. The defense targets are not only the natives in the mountains, but the natives resist.
strength, as well as some gangs of robbers and monsters in the mountains.
However, on the day that Suldak arrived at Dodan Town, the adventure group outside the town was attacked by a group of thieves. Not only did people die, but some of the adventure group's supplies were also robbed. Originally, Dodan
There are several adventurous groups in the town that have been hunting on the edge of the Warcraft Forest for a long time. Recently, the thieves group often appears to plunder. These adventurous groups have already left in great numbers.
Baron Maynard had been very busy during the day, and he also heard that the territory in the province of Bena was being attacked by Lord MacDonnell. At this time, he was also exhausted mentally and physically.
The next morning, Baron Maynard introduced the defense of Dodan Town to Suldak. After completing the handover ceremony, he hurriedly took the last cavalry squadron of the cavalry battalion and hurried back.
Suldak ordered people to hang the flag of the Lutheran Legion on the city head.
At this point, the defense of Dodan Town has been handed over to the Luther Legion.
