Conquest

Chapter 59: The first mission

Views:

The 13th Cavalry Regiment was stationed at the foot of a mountain about fifty miles northwest of Wildfire.

This is the place where the business road to the north must pass. Continuing to the northwest is the Albakte Plain, which is a long and narrow plain that runs through the wildfire field, occupying a quarter of the wildfire field, and the only one on the wildfire field. A piece of plain area in China, adjacent to the sites of dwarves and goblins, the terrain is flat, and it is one of the important ways for the caravan between the two countries.

The 13th Cavalry Regiment was ordered to be stationed here to prevent the army of the Odin Empire from breaking through. And this time the battle plan has obviously been clear, in the northwest, north, and northeast of Wildfire Town, the regular regular regiments of the Empire are stationed in three directions to prevent the invasion of the Odins.

Fight for a decisive battle with the Odins on Ye Yehuoyuan, and keep the enemy outside the country. This is the battle plan of the Byzantine Empire this time. In the south of Wildfire Town, two regular corps are also stationed as reserves. Once the route of the Odin attack is determined, these two reserve corps will immediately go north to support, and the garrison in other directions will also quickly rush to help.

This battle plan is still unknown to Char, and neither does he know that Albacette is about to become a place of bloodshed.

After receiving the equipment, Xiaya was assigned to his own tent - he and the bald man Kevin lived in a tent. He changed into the military robe in the tent, and when Xi Ya came out, Kevin was already waiting there.

The bald man's expression was serious: "Now I'll take you to see the general. Listen carefully, no one here will bully the newcomer, because the general is very fair, but if you want to be one of us, you have to Bring out your skills!"

With that said, Kevin muttered a sentence that is very famous in the 13th Cavalry Regiment: "Either leave or become part of us. But you must get everyone's approval - be respectful when you meet the general, He is our leader!"

When turning around to lead the way, Kevin hesitated for a moment, and then added: "Your riding posture is a little stiff, your riding skills have problems, you need to practice more - we are cavalry!"

Although the words are not pleasant, at least this guy is not malicious, and his tone is very honest.

Char nodded, and followed behind to see General Adric.

When Xia, who was in uniform, followed Kevin into the central army tent, Adric was frowning at a military newspaper that had just been delivered. Beside him stood a silver-haired man with a mighty appearance. middle-aged man.

"Albact is the most likely route for the enemy to attack. According to the usual tradition, we put the strongest combat power here, which is also regarded as leaving the hardest bones for us to gnaw - this is also the tradition of the military department." Adrick put down the military newspaper and scolded with a smile.

The silver-haired man next to him also had a heroic face: "That's how it is, those sissies of the 2nd and 9th Corps are not qualified to grab meat from us!" The pride was beyond words.

"Okay, Butler, go and get your people ready. Before tomorrow evening, I want all the equipment to be ready. Urge the quarters at the back. If there is any further delay, I will kill with a knife!"

The silver-haired man Butler, the flag officer of the 3rd flag team under the 13th Cavalry Regiment, immediately straightened his body, beat his chest hard, saluted and strode away. When he came out, he met Kevin and Xi Ya. He glanced at Xia Ya and laughed loudly: "The new one, he looks very strong and a good soldier!"

is a good soldier...

Watching the silver-haired man go out, Xia Ya felt a little weird about this evaluation.

General Adrick raised his head and stared at Xi Ya who was wearing the uniform. The scar on his face was a little red because of his excitement, which made him look particularly hideous, but that look made Xi Ya unhappy at all. I felt fearful, but I felt a little closer.

"You look good in your uniform, you'll be a good soldier." Adric touched his forehead and glanced at Xiaya with eagle-like eyes: "How does it feel to wear this skin?"

Xia Ya raised his head, neither humble nor arrogant: "Not bad, quite energetic."

"It's very spiritual. The person I like can't be wrong. You are as strong as a calf, but your eyes are as cruel as a wolf cub, hahaha!"

Xia Ya didn't speak... Is this a compliment

I don't know why, in front of this majestic general, Xia Ya always felt a little uncomfortable, as if the other party's aura was oppressing him to the death.

"Are you local? Raised in the wildfire?"

"Yes." Xia nodded.

"You must be familiar with the surrounding terrain."

Shaya nodded.

Adrick stood up, walked to the side, and put down a huge leather map hanging on the wall, which was exactly a topographic map of Wildfire. He pointed to the map: "Can you point out where we are now?"

Xia Ya did not hesitate, walked up, and pointed out the correct orientation on the map.

"Are you literate? Can you read Byzantine script?" Adric smiled with satisfaction. He grinned, and the scars on his face seemed to be shaking: "Tell me what the terrain in the north is like."

Char thought for a moment: "We are blocking the southern end of the Albact Corridor. If you go north, you can go north through the Albact area to reach Odin... The flanks are close to the dwarves' territory, those hills and caves. , no one dares to go there. Hmm... Next to it is the red field of goblins, which is relatively desolate, only the tribe of goblins and wolves are infested. There are some villages of the black tribe of the thieves group on the surrounding hills, and the others... I don't I know what else you want to know."

He raised his head and looked at the general.

As he talked more and more, Xia Ya relaxed - shit, I've even seen a dragon, so what's there to be afraid of.

General Adrick was very satisfied with Char's answer. He nodded and picked up a small iron badge from the case, which was a horseshoe-shaped iron piece with raised lines on it.

"This is your rank, an ordinary private, but I can't give it to you right now." Adric stared at Xi Ya's eyes, his eyes were like electricity, and said solemnly: "You must stand a test, complete a This task, when you come back, become my personal soldier, and I will personally put on the rank badge for you!"

Xia raised her head and stared closely at Adric's eyes.

"I will send a team of scout cavalry to the north to search. You are familiar with the terrain here and go with them. By the way, learn something you should learn." Adrick hesitated for a while: "Kevin, go with him, be good Teach this kid."

Before Xiaya could speak, Kevin, who had been standing upright, immediately raised his head and beat his chest, shouting, "Yes, General!"

Before departure, because he was riding a horse as a scout, Kevin took Xi Ya to the quartermaster to get a set of cavalry equipment.

When choosing a horse weapon, Kevin chose a heavy hammer, but Char rejected this weapon, and he did not choose a lance, but finally chose an axe gun.

It seems that he still has a special preference for axes.

The axe spear used by the cavalry is a double-sided axe with a length of about one and a half meters. The head has a spear point. As for the action of stabbing during combat, Char chose this heavy weapon, Kevin did not say anything.

Just when he returned to the tent to organize things, the stunned young man hesitated for a while, glanced at Xia Ya, and said in a low voice: "Well... your horse is too dazzling, in order not to cause trouble, don't use it for now. I'll lend you one of my horses first."

Xia Ya was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at this guy, his bald head with a sincere expression.

It turned out that he had already seen that his horse was strange, but he didn't say it. Looking at Kevin's calm eyes, Xia smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you!"

He started to like this bald man.
