After leaving Galen's camp, the guards of Dauntless Vanguard had prepared a rest tent for them. Lux kept yawning along the way and needed to catch up on her sleep.
"Lux, do you think the person mentioned by Pioneer Galen just now was the one we sent away?"
"Ah...it seems so!"
"Don't you think that if this news spreads back to the country, Marshal Tiana will most likely find something fishy?"
Lux shuddered. If the matter was exposed, he and Chai Anping might be fine, but it was hard to say for Rodney... With Tiana's character, even Jiawei would never forgive such a betrayal.
.
Chai Anping pondered. Although Rodney was not someone he could deal with, he was a comrade who had deceived Tiana together, and he was also Lux's brother. He guessed that he would have to go there after solving the ice dragon's troubles.
The Varosa tribe should make a trip to at least clear up the ends of this escape plan.
He and Tiana are still in the honeymoon period now, and he doesn't want any rifts to appear between the political alliances.
"What should we do?"
Lux said worriedly.
"Don't panic, this news is just a rumor, and it will not spread back to the capital for the time being." Chai Anping rubbed her head and said with a smile, "You have a good rest, we will probably start trekking again in a day or two."
"good!"
Lux's face turned slightly pale, as if she remembered the difficulty of traveling.
After sleeping with her, Chai Anping left the camp and prepared to take a good look at the camp of the Fearless Pioneer Battalion. In the future, he would also lead an army by himself, and he should start learning about all aspects.
There were several soldiers from the Guards Battalion guarding outside the camp, and he was not worried about Lux's safety.
At this time, many more people appeared around, and Chai Anping was keenly aware that their eyes were on him.
"What's the matter, everyone?" he asked proactively.
Somehow, he suddenly had the illusion that he had become a little fresh meat.
"Earl Shelley!"
As soon as he spoke, the excited fans rushed over. If they didn't still have military discipline in their hearts, they might have slapped him in the face.
Chai Anping noticed that quite a few of the people surrounding him were young people, with bright eyes, and they all told him the truth. Only then did he realize that these people came to the Deyun Club to listen to the opera.
Because Beijing newspapers often bombarded him with news, and it was difficult to verify whether it was true or false, his fans often suffered. Now that they have the opportunity to verify it in person, they naturally don't want to miss it.
Chai Anping had no choice but to answer a few normal questions with a smile. The young soldiers spontaneously formed a circle, leaving an open space for Chai Anping to always be in the center.
To be honest, Chai Anping couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart to be so admired by the people of the Fearless Pioneer Camp.
His starting point was the palace guards where aristocratic children gathered together, which was completely incomparable to these troops on the front line of the battlefield.
Therefore, it is completely natural for those little freshmen in the previous life to suddenly receive so much attention and praise, and become arrogant and arrogant. After all, most of them are people who did not even study hard, and what kind of character can they have?
.
Chai Anping is considered a person who has seen strong winds and waves, but he can't help but smile in this environment.
"What are you doing!"
Not far away, a general with a slightly different armor style walked up. He had a serious face and an exaggerated sword hanging on his waist: "You gather people to camp and roar early in the morning. Do you want to be punished?"
"Come forward and take the lead!"
When everyone saw the visitor, they saluted one after another.
Chai Anping also cast his gaze over. In Demacia's army, the most basic professional titles are "corps commander, commander, centurion, and commander of thousands." Do they represent the number of soldiers in charge of this official position? In addition,
In addition, are there also deputy positions similar to "staff officer and commander"? This is a general who does not command troops in peacetime, but often oversees a large war zone during wartime.
The title of the big man in front of me is even more special. These people are often responsible for the important task of attacking a certain front line of the army? They are all fierce generals on the battlefield.
The forward is the most powerful? In addition to the leader, there are usually deputy generals and generals, all of whom are good at attacking difficulties.
Is it not easy to become the leader of the fearless vanguard? Chai Anping carefully looked at the man approaching. The young soldiers surrounding him automatically moved out of the way.
"Carlos? Tell me what's going on!"
From the corner of his eye, the commander caught a glimpse of a soldier he was leading and immediately grabbed him.
"Commander? This is Earl Gracie Shelley who arrived this morning? We are all here to see him!" Carlos smiled like a fool: "We are welcoming the Earl!"
"Yes! Yes! Lord Shenling!"
Everyone didn't dare to respond too loudly, otherwise they would be accused of camp and screaming, and they might be punished by having to run around on the ice field.
Chai Anping vaguely felt that the striker's pupils seemed to have experienced an earthquake, but in reality he concealed it very well. He held a sword in one hand and a ferocious smile appeared on his rough face: "It turns out it's
Your Excellency Gracie Shelley, please forgive me for the offense caused by these young people. The last general is Wyatt Longbottom, the forward commander of the first unit of the Dauntless Vanguard Battalion. I wonder why you are here?"
As expected, it’s someone who doesn’t know the reason…
Chai Anping briefly explained the reason, but did not tell the truth. He only said that he was here to do something.
"I see!"
Wyatt Longbottom didn't seem to care at all about the reason why Chai Anping came here. He glared around: "Earl Shelley rarely comes to the camp, and you show such a poor appearance of a ragtag army?
Leave them all to me to be punished!"
He turned to look at Chai Anping and showed a silly smile: "How about I take the adults to visit the camp?"
Chai Anping blinked and nodded... This man was quite enthusiastic.
Wyatt Longbottom grabbed Carlos and whispered a few words to him, apparently giving him some orders.
Carlos, a young man, quickly led a group of people and left happily.
"Lord Shelley, please follow me!"
Wyatt Longbottom extended his hand and invited Chai Anping into the military camp.
"Because the troops often need to move, and because wood is scarce on the ice sheet, the outer walls of the camp are only roughly made of ice bricks to block the cold wind." Wyatt Longbottom introduced some features of the camp to Chai Anping
Details, it seems that only these topics can keep him talking: "The handsome tent is in the middle, and from the inside to the outside are stationed the guard camp and the supply camp..."
Seeing the look of interest in Chai Anping's eyes, Wyatt Longbottom started talking even more excitedly.
"In addition, although diseases are not easily transmitted on the ice sheet, the sanitary conditions cannot be ignored, and all departments must make unified arrangements for waste disposal..."
Different areas have different characteristics, and even the materials of the tents are quite different. For example, the tents provided for them to rest are much thicker and can completely insulate them from the cold.
The busiest thing in the camp is the place where the war horses are kept. They live better than people. Not only are they surrounded by high walls made of ice bricks, but they are also wrapped in a large number of warm wool blankets.
Many soldiers got up early to brush their horses and feed them, and they were more attentive to them than their wives.
Chai Anping noticed that the horses' food was a plain white plant that looked a bit like moss. When the horses chewed it, white juice would flow out.
"This kind of feed is the 'frost grass' that is a specialty of the ice field. The troops must save supplies when going deep into the ice field, so a special team is needed to search for it. However, the juice of this grass is too abundant and cannot be fed to horses in large quantities, otherwise it will cause diarrhea to the war horses.
You can only mix it with the feed you brought and use it in half.”
Chai Anping suddenly realized that he had seen this thing in a book before. Frost grass is very easy to grow and is the food for most creatures in the snowfield.
Due to the characteristics of its growing environment, it has good "cold" properties, but frost grass itself is not considered an alchemy material, and its extract is the lowest cold material.
This low-price, large-yield material is the favorite of many alchemy apprentices.
After visiting the horse pen, Carlos rushed over from the other direction.
"Master, everything has been arranged!"
"Well, not bad!"
Wyatt Longbottom smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, I have asked people to prepare some small shows. Please move and watch."
Chai Anping is good at everything.
Wyatt Longbottom led him directly out of the camp and onto the flat ice sheet not far away.
"My lord has never joined the military, so I just want to show you the training sessions of the Fearless Pioneer Battalion!"
Wyatt Longbottom suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "I hope you are satisfied!"
Looking at his expression, Chai Anping suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth. You look like a tall and thick person, but I didn't expect that you are actually a big fan behind your back!
Good guy!
At this time, there were two groups of people facing each other far away on the ice field, fully armed, and their weapons were long wooden spears, with the heads of the spears wrapped in red cloth and stained with white powder.
"Those are training equipment, and usually they won't cause serious injuries if hit. Just drink some healing potion."
Wyatt Longbottom spoke plainly about wealth and wealth.
Both teams were riding warhorses, and a poke with the force of a confrontation was not as easy as Wyatt Longbottom said. Even if they were protected by armor, it would probably break their muscles and bones.
"Is this the daily training of the Fearless Pioneer Battalion?" he asked.
"If the training is on-site, the scale will be larger, and the weapons will not only be long guns."
Wyatt Longbottom said: "Because of the convenience of treatment, the training requirements are even higher!"
Chai Anping was shocked. Compared with the palace guards, this was like heaven and hell!
With the level of training of the palace guards, as long as they pay attention, it is almost impossible to get hurt...
"Ahem, you should be more careful in a place like this."
He turned his attention to the ice sheet.
The two teams are shouting the names of their representative units to boost their morale. With Chai Anping watching today, they will definitely not be merciful.
On a small slope in the center stood three commanders holding flags. When they saw Wyatt Longbottom and Chai Anping, they raised their hands to indicate that the two sides were ready to start the exercise.
"Hush!!"
What Chai Anping didn't know was that these people were all top-notch warriors selected from the first battalion. Most of them were warriors responsible for the forward charge. They just wanted to take this opportunity to show him the glory represented by the fearless vanguard.
"Prepare!"
The red flag was raised high, bringing with it a sense of solemnity.
"war!!!"
The red flag fell, and the men and horses on both sides rushed forward almost at the same time. Neither the horses nor the soldiers were timid in the face of the oncoming enemy.
The red cloth on the spear was like red blood, casting swift shadows under the rising sun.
Perhaps their skills are not worth mentioning in Chai Anping's eyes, but their fierce and unparalleled will to charge into battle can move anyone.
The ice sheet was cracked, and there were powerful centurions and even thousands of captains hidden in the team, and the invisible power was released.
The suffocating collision came in an instant. Chai Anping gasped involuntarily. He felt that his blood was rising!
The agile spears surged through the colliding teams, and the red spearheads were like poisonous snakes, causing damage to both sides at the first opportunity.
People kept falling off their horses, but the soldiers obviously had experience. Once someone fell off the horse, the people around them would control the horse's hooves to stay away. The fallen person would also grab the saddle, try to stand firm, and continue to fight.
The Fearless Vanguard is Demacia's most elite unit, and the two sides fighting at this time are the best among them!
Every attack, every advance and retreat is full of the beauty unique to war, and at the same time, it always demonstrates the cruelty of war.
With Chai Anping's eyesight, he could clearly see that the armor on the chests of many soldiers had been dented, and bloodshot eyes were flowing from the corners of their mouths. They must have been seriously injured.
This made him a little bit intolerable, after all, it was because of his appearance that such an exercise was held.
"Isn't this the end, Wyatt will take charge." He asked: "If we continue to fight, we will be seriously injured."
Wyatt Longbottom took it for granted and just respectfully told him how to win: "Only the two sides on the battlefield can decide whether a battle ends. Even if there is no one left, we will count the white marks on the armors of both sides.
Click to judge the winner."
Chai Anping secretly smacked his tongue. The beyond-the-conventional treatment capabilities seemed to make the soldiers' training methods become extremely wild...
"What do you think of the soldiers of the Dauntless Vanguard?"
"Very strong!"
Chai Anping sincerely praised: "Every soldier has a will of steel and is worthy of the name of the 'Fearless Pioneer'."
Wyatt Longbottom smiled with joy when he heard this. Being recognized by his idol must be the highest reward that fans can imagine.
"In that case, Gracie, I think—"
Another voice suddenly came from behind the two of them. Wyatt Longbottom looked back and exclaimed: "Pioneer Captain!"
Galen raised his hand, a trace of ill-intention appearing on his resolute face: "As the legion commander of the Steel Wings, since you have come to the Fearless Vanguard Camp, why don't you come and give me some advice... me."
