At the same time, when Domick's magic clock pointed at 10 o'clock in the night, the first division had assembled, and sloganed quickly to the truck guided by the lighting array on the square.
One month earlier, the number of infantry divisions that have been continuously transferred here has exceeded 4,000. At this time, they are all wearing standard individual combat equipment. Although they are large in number and trotting, they always maintain a neat queue. More than sixty trucks were arranged in four on the huge square, with numbers on the body. The platoon-based team boarded the carriages under the leadership of the platoon leader.
Twenty minutes later, plus six giant trucks for combat, a fleet of more than eighty began to slowly exit. The goal is the temple.
The location of Domick Fortress requires 80 kilometers to the north and 40 kilometers to the southeast after bypassing the mountains. The total distance is at least 150 kilometers. According to the speed of ordinary troops, it takes about one week. However, the truck fleet has only transported for three hours, and can transport more than 1,600 people at one time!
In the early hours of the morning, the first convoy of trucks returned and began to carry the second convoy.
"Get in the car! Take your time!"
The engineering company was also in the second batch of transferred teams. The platoon leader Rosiak shouted at the soldiers behind him. The young people who were always hippie smiles were tense at the moment, and they all boarded the car in silence. Losag confirmed that there were no fewer people in the row, and shouted to the driver in front of him: "It's finished!"
"Roger that!"
The driver also belonged to the armored division, so he wore the same military uniform and turned to the cockpit after marching at Rosiak. The buzzing of the engine was already ringing, and Rosiak turned his head to look at it ... Domick in the night was still the look of the mound of dirt, but in sharp contrast to it, it seemed that it was beyond sight Neat camp.
Even if there were thousands of military operations, the command of the non-commissioned officers could be heard throughout the camp, but there was no noisy conversation. And further afield, there are all kinds of materials piled up like hills, and the airport runway dimly visible at night. Because the runway has a shining array, he can also see a falcon moored to one side. reconnaissance aircraft.
More than half of the buildings in this camp were built or optimized by engineering companies. Therefore, Losak could not help but have some inexplicable emotions. But when he turned around and saw his soldiers in the carriage in front of him, he quickly suppressed all emotions and stepped on the carriage with the help of the soldiers who reached out and dragged.
The young guys understand that they are really going to the battlefield right now.
"Sound control, light control, everyone can rest and rest, everything will be said when they reach their destination."
Lochak pulled his belt, and reached out to support the railing as the truck began to move. "Don't humiliate Lao Tzu on the battlefield. If anyone violates the order, I don't recognize you as my soldier!"
Hearing the slightly suffocating words of the platoon leader, the soldiers tried to squeeze a smile. But most people still clenched their fingers involuntarily ... They didn't know what they were waiting for tomorrow, and everyone had the same confusion and fear.
There was a strange buzzing in the distance, and Loschak turned his head and looked out of the car window, just to see a group of vehicles entering Camp Domick. The direction should be from Pal.
He wondered why the other party didn't go directly to the temple where the main battlefield was. As a result, the strange voice in his ears became louder and louder. He felt familiar, because the Falcon's propeller was also such a noise, but it was far less dense. .
Putting his face to the window of the car and looking up, Losak finally found the source of the sound, and he, like the other soldiers, grew his mouth as if he had witnessed the gods ...
"Goddess Sky is on ..."
That night, the convoy starting at the same time from Parr and Domick delivered the 5,000 soldiers of the first division, the engineering company of the first armored division, and the combat truck to the Temple of Eiffel in 12 hours. Inside, 6,000 people were stuffed into the originally empty "Temple" city.
When the last batch of combat troops arrived at the temple, the soldiers who had arrived early had already taken up another truck and set off on the road to battle.
At four in the morning on May 9.
Dunkel City.
This is an important city 60 kilometers south of the temple. Before this year, Dunkel City was not really prosperous, because there is a temple in the north and Laena city in the south. Its biggest role is to sandwich it between the two. Become a transit. In the orc war last year, Sauron took his troops directly through Eiffel Tower and drove straight into the south of the kingdom. The territory where Dunkel was inevitably became a hardest hit area.
Of course, due to the walls of Dunkel City, the damage in the city was not serious, and the surrounding towns and villages were severely looted or slaughtered. As a result, the population has been plagued by a sharp decline in population and food shortages. When Charles II forcibly pushed for a war assembly order this year, the city was mournful.
Because of the prevalence of exaggeration, the data reported to the royal family in various territories have been modified and whitewashed, which made Charles II inevitably overestimate the population and fighting strength in the territory. He didn't know that at this time, the Dunkel City, which reported "the gathering of 4,000 combatants and 520 knights," had only about two-thirds of its combat effectiveness.
And these figures are still the result of counting the old, the weak, and the sick who have little fighting power at all.
Standing in Dunkel City is Viscount Berkeley. In Count Harrison's plan, he himself will lead a subsequent army of about 15,000 troops to attack the temple from the east.
The Viscount Berkeley was here to wait for the other noble armies gathered from the south to wrap up the temple, and the two sides attacked together to fight for a blow.
The plan is such a plan, but the southern part of the kingdom is now raining heavily. According to the latest news, the Viscount Vasana, which should have arrived here the day before yesterday, is still 30 kilometers away. It is estimated that the road will not arrive until noon tomorrow.
In all directions, there are more than a dozen Viscount Barons converging here. If everyone waits for the arrival, it will take another twenty days.
So Count Berkeley knew that being anxious was useless, so he stayed comfortably in his Count's House every day. And the men led by the barons and the knights were scattered by the organization, and he was arranged in a camp outside the city. He couldn't let a group of soldiers idle in the city. That would cause trouble, so give them every day. The task was to build a camp, level the ground, and make full preparations for the large troops to be assembled soon.
The city defense soldier Morik standing on the city wall was holding his wooden stick to snore. In fact, the city defense army originally issued a metal sabre. But orcs plundered almost all metal iron last year, which caused many insignificant positions to have their quota of metal weapons removed. Molyk didn't care about this. He lived a very monotonous life every day. In addition to eating, he was just having fun sleeping. Anyway, the salary would not be hungry. Who cares about others?
At dawn, Polly, the companion who was on the shift, kicked his ass, and Morik woke up suddenly, then stared at Polly with a sleepy eye: "Huh? Time is up?"
"I wouldn't have come if I knew it. I think you can still sleep for three hours."
Polly quipped that he was actually equivalent to changing places to sleep. The two had nothing to talk about. Morik stood up with a yawn, just stretched his waist, and suddenly acted: "What's the sound?"
When it was not dawn, birds and insects were almost all bark. So standing above the city walls, certain sounds were clearly heard. Polly frowned and listened, feeling like the sound of some giant creature's footsteps falling to the ground, dull and regular, and he guessed: "Can it be a dragon? Or some large Warcraft?"
"It's possible, the weather is warm, all these ghosts in the forest are running out ..."
Molecic didn't think much about it, accepted this explanation, and immediately said, "Hey, have you heard of it. There have been dragons here a dozen years ago!"
"Go away, I'm going to sleep, I have no time to pull this with you!"
Polly waved his hand and let Molik leave, and no one else in the city except them realized that something was approaching the city.
At five o'clock in the morning ~ EbookFREE.me ~ the sky is bright.
The city where Count Harrison is located is Suvara, and his assembled army has also stayed outside the city. More than 2,000 soldiers and knights have lived in what is called the "Turtle Camp" for ten days. The current situation, they all know that there may still be another month to leave the war.
Because there was no news of enemies gathering for a long time, everyone thought that the next battle was to fight a fortification, so these soldiers lived idle every day until the Count's order was actually issued.
There is a curfew in Suvara City at night, but there are not so many regulations for the "Turtle Camp". The most important thing is that many caravans have opened pubs, casinos and even prostitutes next to the camp in order to make money for this group of soldiers. Over time, I really made a lot of money. This is logically out of order, but Count Harrison couldn't care less, and these guys did give the restless giants a place to vent their desires and energy, so they closed their eyes.
I just came out of the sultry hooker's house, and I drank a lot of maggots with a machete slanting from Borda, and wobbled along the path. He made a small fortune in the casino last night, and spent the night in the simple tent and had a good night's sleep. Now he is back at the camp because the copper plate has been stuffed in the of those girls. .
