Suddenly, there was some commotion in front of the team.
Dann stood up from the [Princess] and looked forward.
Since there was no alarm, it was definitely not an enemy.
After a while, someone came over and reported that they had encountered a communications soldier from Zhenlei Fort.
Then about a few minutes later, a group of dwarves riding dappled horses and wrapped in fur coats appeared in sight.
"Greetings to you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." After a brief briefing with the general Ebba Chiaston, who was leading the team ahead, the communications soldiers continued to move forward.
Then he saw Dan En and stopped again to say hello.
It can be seen that this group of soldiers from Zhenlei Fort are different from ordinary dwarf soldiers. They look very disciplined. Although ordinary dwarves also look quite capable, these soldiers are more in line with the temperament of a soldier in Wang Yuanheng's heart.
"Hello, my (dwarf) brothers, could you please tell me what is causing you to be in such a hurry?"
"Of course, it's not a big deal." After saying this, the leading communications soldier raised his voice slightly, "It's snowing in Zhenlei Fort. This snowfall is earlier than in previous years, so we need some material support.
"
"In addition, judging from the snowfall situation, it is inevitable that there will be heavy snow in Frost and Snow Castle and Gilmir City, so we have to notify the king in advance and make some arrangements for cold-proof materials."
"Oh my gosh, what if I didn't prepare a fur coat at all?"
"It snowed too early this year, and I wasn't prepared."
"Yeah, I didn't bring it either."
…
The nearby dwarves talked a lot. They didn't bring too thick clothes at all on this expedition. Firstly, the snow came too early, and secondly, because the ground was warm, many people forgot about it.
"Haha, when my wife went out today, she insisted on asking me to bring my coat. I didn't expect that it was just in time. I love you, dear Mary..." A guy who was originally happy obviously didn't realize the consequences of showing off his superiority.
.
Although Alba Chiaston is a serious general, he won't mind their mischief at this time.
After casting a pitiful glance at the guy who was drowned in the crowd, Dane expressed his gratitude to the communications soldier for his answer. The other party saluted again and left quickly.
After thinking about it, Dann headed towards the position of Aiba Chiaston in front, and Wang Yuanheng followed him on a war bear.
It is worth mentioning that Abba Chiaston is a female dwarf, and she is one of the few female generals in the country under the mountain.
Abba Chiaston is short in stature, yes, even among the dwarves she is the shortest, but her life experience is very bizarre.
Due to an accident, the general was orphaned as a child, but was raised by bears. When she appeared again, few dwarves could recognize that this beast-like little thing was actually a dwarf.
Growing up in the wild, her temperament has become fierce and cruel, but she is very good at commanding the war bears domesticated by the dwarves. She has also been fighting the bear cavalry, and in the hands of Aiba Chiastone, she is stronger than others.
Many. It is said that the other party has a specialty called [Naughty Child]. I don’t know if it is true or not. Because he is one of his own, Wang Yuanheng may also use the detection ability forcibly.
Moreover, she got along very well with the soldiers. Soon after joining the army, she quickly gained prestige, gained the loyalty and love of a large number of soldiers, and quickly entered the ranks of the kingdom's generals.
The destination of Wang Yuanheng and his group this time is Zhenlei Castle, which is very suitable for bear cavalry operations. At the same time, it also has the largest [White Bear Enclosure]. This is the purpose of leading the team by Aiba Chiaston.
.
When Dan En and Wang Yuanheng approached, Aiba Chiaston looked at the two of them keenly, like a powerful war bear stalking a large number of prey.
Even Dan En felt uncomfortable with that sharp gaze all over his body. Fortunately, after the other party found out that the person coming was Dan En, he softened a little.
"Dan, what's the matter with you?" Elba Chiaston did not use the honorific title to Dan, because Alba was already his aunt.
Moreover, Elba Chiaston had a very good relationship with Queen Lolita, so she did not call Dane the crown prince.
"Aiba, do we need to wait? It seems that the temperature will drop rapidly in front, and the soldiers do not have enough clothes to keep out the cold." Most of the dwarves call each other by their first names, and at most they add brothers and sisters to show their closeness.
Call me uncle, aunt or something.
Abbah Chiaston understood what Dann meant. They had just set out from Conquistador for a day and a half. It seemed like a good choice to wait for clothes to be sent from the rear to avoid unnecessary attrition.
However, the prince seems to still lack understanding of war.
"The demons of destruction will not stop and wait for us for two days."
"Besides, even if we march normally, I guess we can get the clothes as early as the day after tomorrow at most."
"Oh." Seeing that Alba Chiaston had no intention of explaining himself, Dan nodded dullly. He knew that Alba's opinion was definitely right, but as for why, he had to think about it himself.
.
Looking back at the surrounding teams, Wang Yuanheng touched his chin thoughtfully.
Soldiers are valuable and quick.
It is better to arrive at Zhenlei Fort one day early than one day late.
War is like this, you have to compete with the enemy, but you also have to race with yourself.
And since Aiba Chiaston led the team on the expedition, the mounts of this team are basically [War Bear]. Of course, there are also stronger [White Bear] and [Black Bear].
However, although these War Bear Cavalry are a terrifying army that frightens the enemy on the battlefield, as heavy cavalry, their speed is indeed not very good.
Especially when traveling long distances for strategic movement, mobility is an obvious shortcoming.
This is the reason why Thunderbolt Castle, which is also famous for its [White Bear Cavalry], excludes the signal troopers but rides zebra horses.
At this time, of course, it is more cost-effective to run fast, have good endurance, and, by the way, mounts that consume less energy.
One thing that must be mentioned is that the War Bears have another thing that cannot be said to be a disadvantage, but can only be said to be a characteristic - they eat a lot.
As ferocious beasts, war bears are extremely powerful, have rough skin and thick flesh, and are brave in temperament. Some of them even have magical abilities. However, this is all based on their huge food intake. Therefore, even the Lonely Mountain dwarves only have
Only some wealthy cities, such as Zhenlei Castle, Gangquasondo, etc., have large-scale war bear cavalry.
Another dwarf city that encountered the same problem was Gilmir. It was the only place in the Lonely Mountain where a large number of ancient giant elephants, mammoths, gathered.
Therefore, although these burly behemoths are extremely powerful, dwarves can only choose to tame them in small numbers.
Ahem, that's too far off topic.
In short, with the resolute actions of the king under the mountain, it is estimated that the supplies will be found soon.
And obviously, Aiba Chiaston also trusts his own king and has no intention of stopping at all.
However, what makes Wang Yuanheng a little confused is that it stands to reason that since the team is going on an expedition, factors such as weather must have been considered in advance.
Is this abnormal weather an accident or the work of magic?
