Without a generous and fierce oath, without a blessing from the temple priest, without even giving the soldiers extra food, I let them set off.
After Helter left with 10,000 people, I took the time to arrange the second batch of shipping troops. Because it took five days for the fleet to go back and forth, and Heert didn't bring much supplies, I was scratching my head.
Let's get everything arranged.
After the report to the military headquarters was written, I handed the report to a major herald and asked him to submit it to the military headquarters after the war started on all fronts.
During the day, I would appear on the street from time to time, chatting and laughing with a group of officers.
At night, the troops sneaked into the wilderness in batches and assembled towards the coastline. I personally led the third wave of troops out of Gallia, advancing cautiously all the way.
I'm not defending against the magic coalition, I'm defending against the divine coalition. If they discover that the Ninth Legion is not in their base city before the war begins... it will be a lot of fun, and there is no guarantee that something will not happen.
The waves were lapping at the shore, but I was staring at the sea in a daze, waiting for it to get dark.
This place is close to the dividing line between gods and demons, and it is on the edge of the continent, so it is very desolate. Although there are few residents in this area, I still don’t want to take risks. The soldiers of the four regiments are lying in the woods by the sea.
One dares to speak.
The soldiers have done many outrageous things to me, and every time there are benefits, and every time there is a different feeling.
They discovered in surprise again and again that they could do many things in a different way, and that it was so interesting to follow the boss... I know that they have become accustomed to it and are addicted to it.
This is exactly the effect I've been pursuing.
Now, as long as I'm with them, not to mention letting them lie down in the woods, but even letting them go to fight the demon alliance immediately, they will be willing to do so.
Is this the charm of a commander? I smiled to myself.
It was getting dark, and it was almost the appointed time. I walked to the beach alone and waited.
My feet were on the beach, and the sea breeze penetrated into my helmet. It was so cool and comfortable.
I was fascinated by the waves rushing up to the beach and receding again and again. Suddenly there was a soft "crash" sound not far away. I looked up and saw a head emerging from the sea.
It was a water tribe man. I guessed that he had swam here a long time ago and did not show up until he confirmed my identity.
I pushed it with my fingers and lifted up the face guard.
Seeing my black eyes and a strand of hair hanging from my forehead, the water tribe's eyes lit up, and he swam towards me as soon as he lowered his body, very fast.
"Hello, Lord Governor!" He came to me and saluted and said, "I am the outpost."
"Has the fleet arrived?" I looked at him: "Why aren't you wearing clothes?"
"Reporting to your lord, the fleet is waiting outside the sea. I have already asked my men to go back and report." He smiled sheepishly: "It is inconvenient to wear clothes in the water..."
I waved back and called out to the herald.
"Take back the rangers and release the winged scouts." I said to the herald: "Each regiment is ready to board the ship, one battalion on each ship."
Then he said to the water tribe outpost: "Is there anyone on the sea to be alert?"
"Yes! Governor!" the outpost replied to me: "On the sea, no one can approach us silently! The fleet's cordon is very reliable."
"That's good."
The first batch of five transport ships came over. I guarantee that no one on the mainland has seen this kind of ship shape before.
At first glance, this kind of transport ship is not tall, has a wide hull, and looks very bulky. But if you stand at the bow or stern and take a closer look, you will discover the secret of this kind of ship.
This is a catamaran, just like two ordinary speedboats connected. The space above the waterline is very wide and can accommodate a large number of people and materials. However, the area subject to resistance below the waterline is very small. Not only can
It travels quickly and has very good stability. Even if the Aqua Tribe summoned all the craftsmen, they could only build twenty boats in half a year, which shows how complicated the process is.
Before the springboard could be placed, a man from the water tribe had already jumped onto the shore and ran towards me. He was wearing a dark high-collar military uniform with silver stars shining on his shoulders. He was Xander!
"Devil!" Xander held my hand and shook it vigorously: "This is our fleet, are you proud?"
"You're so proud! Who told you to ask Forna to find me?" I said, "How is the other progress going?"
"Why are you unhappy? Don't you like Forna?" Sander was stunned: "Other progress is normal."
I don’t want to discuss personal issues with him here: “Let’s talk about it on board.”
The troops boarded the ship in battalion units. In the blink of an eye, five transport ships were fully loaded and left the shore. Other transport ships waiting aside immediately took our place.
Under the command of the officers, it only took half an hour for all four regiments to board the ship, and the transport ship sailed to the outer sea to meet up with the escorting warships.
"Devil." Sander climbed into the observation room and handed me a glass of red wine: "What are you looking at?"
I took the wine glass and answered him: "Look at our fleet."
"It's so dark that you can't see clearly!" Xander said, "Let's see it tomorrow! You can see enough!"
"By the way, Xander." I took a sip of red wine: "The fleet doesn't just transport us there, you have to be ready to respond to us at any time...Does our fleet have this capability?"
"Don't worry, there will be no problem that can stump us at sea." Sande said: "There are several small islands in the sea near the landing site. Although the conditions are not good, they can still be used as temporary bases."
"Have you encountered any trouble?" I asked, "Have you not encountered any other ships?"
"No, we have always been very careful. There is a warning line fifty miles away from the fleet." Sande said to me: "Can those small sampans in the Demon Alliance call ships? They never dare to go two hundred miles away from the shore."
"Haha, that's true." I smiled: "No matter which ship it is, it will be trouble once it encounters it. You are very smart, you don't need me to remind you what to do, right?"
"He is indeed a devil." Xander nodded: "I know."
Looking at his expression, I was very unhappy: "What? Do you think I'm cruel?"
"I can't say it's cruel. I also understand that I have to do this to keep it secret." Xander said seriously: "I don't know why, no matter how serious the reason is, it changes the taste when it comes from your mouth."
I rolled my eyes at Xander: "You want to be beaten again?"
"Come just come, don't think that just because you are a noble is great." Xander put down his wine glass: "Who is afraid of whom... Oops!"
I hummed a tune and returned to the cabin in a relaxed mood, leaving Xander with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
The fleet moved very fast. Two days later we arrived at the Demon Alliance and landed at the landing point in the Camp Empire late at night.
The Camp Empire is a large empire in the Demon Alliance. Its climate conditions are similar to those of the Sbia Empire, and the differences in race are not very big. This is the main reason why I chose this place as the battlefield.
Another main reason is that there is a large mountain range stretching for hundreds of miles near the coastline of the Camp Empire. With this mountain range, my troops can be better hidden.
Geert, who arrived first, had already set up a camp in the mountains not far from the landing point. We took advantage of the darkness to meet up with Geert.
Although it was said to be a camp, it was actually just a guarded mountainous area. In order to prevent the enemy from discovering it, not even a tent was set up.
We stayed on this mountain every day, sending a large number of personnel to establish new camps and waiting for intelligence personnel to send us more detailed information.
Ten days later, two more waves of troops arrived, totaling 50,000 troops.
On the other hand, our intelligence collection has also been completed, and we have a clear understanding of the army distribution and logistical supply routes of the Demonic Alliance in the Camp Empire.
Counting the days, I should take action within these few days, otherwise I will not be able to achieve my goal of holding back the enemy.
On this day, I summoned all officers at the battalion commander level and above and assigned them combat missions.
"Everyone knows that we are now in the territory of the Demon Alliance. I won't go into details about how dangerous it is." I looked at this group of officers and said: "Anyway, being caught by the Demon Alliance will not bring any good results, so you are executing
Better run faster when ordered."
The officers burst into low laughter.
"It seems that you are not afraid of death, okay! Let me show you." I asked the adjutant to spread out a large map: "Look at the layout of the Demon Alliance!"
"This area is the Camp Empire where we are!" I pointed at the map with a branch and said: "The two red lines you see now are the two logistics supply lines of the Demon Alliance in Camp.
The big red dot is the garrison."
The officers looked at the two thick red lines on the map and didn't understand why I started with logistics.
"Chief of Staff!" I threw the branch to Carlos: "You tell me what's next!"
"Yes!" Carlos stood up.
"The mission given to our legion by the military is to hold back the enemy from the front, but no matter how hard we try, we cannot eliminate them in a frontal decisive battle. And on the dividing line between gods and demons, they can be mobilized at any time, so our delay becomes an empty talk.
People in the military can find fault with us."
"We can only achieve the purpose of delaying it by attacking the logistics, leaving them without food or clothing, and throwing them into chaos," Carlos said.
"Our entire combat plan is for Chief Cohen to lead ten regiments to attack the farther transportation line." Carlos pointed to the map and said: "Second Regiment Captain Helter will lead ten regiments to attack the closer transportation line.
, Captain Moya of the third regiment is stationed at the camp with four regiments, ready to respond at any time."
The officers listened to the combat missions of their troops without batting an eyelid.
"Each regiment must move quickly! These two transportation lines must collapse in the shortest possible time. There are not many enemies stationed on the route we selected, so we must try to capture them all at once!" I added on the side:
"It is not easy for the Demon Alliance to make a correct judgment. Even if their judgment is correct, it will take time to mobilize the army to deal with us. The Kamp Empire has a vast territory. We cannot defeat it. Can't we hide or hide?"
"Sir, it's okay to hide. We are all very skilled." An officer said, "Do you need to hide your identity?"
"Of course. The logistics team prepared a piece of black cloth for each soldier, and I covered them all with the slave brand on their faces. During the operation, I was only allowed to scream and not talk!" I said: "Now, it's my turn.
The General Liaison Officer spoke."
"Everyone, please pay attention. You can only keep what I say in your mind. You cannot leak it in the slightest. It affects too many people's lives." Mafa put away her usual smile: "In the entire Camp Empire, there are
The enemy's army is 270,000.
Among them, the four legions of the local garrison force have 90,000 people, most of whom defend the capital. The remaining three legions of the demon alliance army with 180,000 people are basically gathered on the front line. Therefore, we do not need to face many enemies. I will give you every
Each battalion is assigned a liaison officer. If you have any questions, just ask, they all know."
Then, Mafa also gave a detailed introduction to each of the enemy's troops.
The Director of Logistics also introduced the supply plan.
"Does everyone understand their tasks?" I stood up and asked.
"Yes, sir!"
"Okay, you return to the team immediately." I said, "Let's take action tonight!" (To be continued)
