Thirty-seven Reindeer Camp

On the afternoon of the next day, after three days of marching, Lairon's army finally arrived at the reindeer camp in the barony of Yohn. All of them arrived as scheduled, and no one was left behind.

When you arrive at the reindeer camp, what you see is a large camp consisting of countless tents, wooden walls, horses, guard towers, trenches and other buildings.

It was mid-afternoon, and according to the Imperial people's habit of having two meals a day, smoke from cooking pots was rising in the camp, and several fires were burning brightly outside the camp.

Several colors of white, black, and indigo were mixed together, which was the division of the camps of the various forces. A large number of flags were fluttering in the wind. Lailan saw the black and blue coat of arms of the "Raging Siren" Baron Yohn family, "

The coat of arms of the Thane family of "Sen Deer", the coat of arms of Sir Duran of "Brown Bear with Hammer", and the most familiar coat of arms of Earl Delaven family of "White Wolf Castle", etc.

A military operation in an earldom and a barony. Most of the kingdom's knights in the territory responded to the war call. Around several flags, there were various knights' coats of arms, row upon row, which was dazzling.

The reindeer camp was built on the plain near the river in the Baron of Yohn. Directly to the north is the "Sien Village" where the Norscan Blood Wolf tribe gathers.

Sien Village is located in a relatively high location between two hills, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is surrounded by a lush forest that reaches the end of the forest, which is the Dracowald Forest.

Lelan was wearing knight's plate armor and riding a war horse at the front of the team. Behind him was a flag bearer, approaching the reindeer camp under the banner of Oak Village.

As they gradually approached, outside the camp gate, there was a group of dejected troops, covered in blood and mud. The leader of the team, the knight errant, was riding on a war horse, with his helmet in his hand, his head lowered, silent.

The soldiers guarding the camp gate frowned and shouted loudly to let them in, as if they were chasing away a group of dirty mosquitoes and flies.

Countless pairs of eyes inside and outside the camp gate were staring at the knight errant, with mixed looks, some were surprised, some were amused. The knight errant on the horse closed his eyes and accepted all this quietly, still not daring to raise his head.

"I didn't expect Milton Thain, the 'Buck' knight of the Thain family, to be unable to hold on to the frontline sentry point."

"Yes, if I remember correctly, this is the third time to reinforce the frontier outpost, right? The first three knights were defeated so miserably, who dares to be the fourth fool?"

"The Thain family had a dispute with Sir Duran before the war. After this failure, I really don't know how Baron Yohn will deal with Milton Thain."

"We'd better wait and see what happens and don't get involved!"

"I agree"

Watching the decadent army return to camp, several knights errant gathered together outside the camp and whispered. Their voices were kept as low as possible, but Lailan still roughly heard them.

Looking at the momentum, the situation of the battle is not optimistic.

When several knights saw the arrival of a new army, the leading knight had a dazzling Kingdom Knight badge on his chest. They immediately shut up without talking about what they had just said. They quickly dismounted, hammered their chests with their right hands, and made a move towards Lailan.

Knighthood.

Lailan glanced at them calmly and raised his hand as a greeting. According to the laws of knights, knights errant must salute the knights of the kingdom, and the latter does not need to return the salute.

Groups of patrolling soldiers were constantly moving inside and outside the camp. When Lailan approached the camp gate, several guards immediately stepped forward, took the reins of the war horses, and went to report inside the camp.

Soon, an affairs officer came quickly from the camp to greet him, his expression was very respectful: "Are you a knight of the Kingdom of the Earl of Draven?"

"Yes."

"Oh! Dear knight of the kingdom, your station has been arranged. Please come with me." The clerk led the Oak Village army to the open space near the water source in the camp to station. The lighting here is good and there are tents all around.

But there is still a large open space.

Obviously, this astute clerk wanted to please the knights of the kingdom in the earldom of Delavan.

In the outer stables, there are a few pack horses, mules, and knights' horses. Of course, they will not be in the same stable with "low status" horses.

Including Lailen's war horses, they are currently parked in the stables of the inner camp, under the care of specialized grooms.

Regarding the stables, we have to mention the Kingdom of Britannia across the Gray Mountains.

A Count of Bastogne couldn't stand the "filthiness" of his serfs, so he kept his horses in the castle all day long. He even vacated an entire floor of the castle for the horses to live in. It can be called the most expensive "stable".

Groups of infantrymen gathered in a school field to practice with the army. The noise was constant, like a slum. From time to time, a few knights errant in gorgeous and expensive plate armor would pass through the infantry camp arrogantly, just to enjoy the respect and respect.

awe-inspiring eyes,

Riding horses is prohibited in the reindeer camp to prevent knights errant from killing or injuring infantry due to impulsiveness. Unable to restrain their inherent arrogance, Baron Yohn had no choice but to take this step.

As soon as Lairen arrived at the station, he received an invitation from Baron Yohn to go to the big tent.

The knight of the kingdom called his men and gave a few instructions: "Albert, Gavin, and Sis, the three of you make sure that the tents at the camp are set up before night comes."

"Also, always pay attention to the food and equipment on the baggage trucks. If necessary, move them all into the camp. Our 'friendly troops' have dirty hands and feet."

"yes!"

The three of them responded and immediately started the affairs of the garrison camp.

Lairon is very disgusted with stealing. The soldiers in the army can't control their hands and feet, which is a sign of the general's low ability. For this reason, the knights of the kingdom have formulated a series of military laws to fundamentally eliminate this bad habit.

The soldiers of Oak Village can neither steal nor rob, but it is difficult to prevent the armies of other forces from surrendering. What's more, when going out to fight, the most important thing is food and baggage, which is indispensable.

No matter how careful you are, you can never be too careful.

In the large tent in the center of the reindeer camp, a dozen fully armed knights sat on two seats. A large wooden table was placed in the middle of the tent, with a sheepskin map spread out on the table.

Beside the wooden table, a young knight with long hair reaching his neck was holding a command pole and scorning Fang Qiu. His words became more and more passionate. The knights around him were obviously dissatisfied with his battle plan, but no one said it to his face. Inside the big tent

The relationship is subtle.

As soon as Lailan approached the big tent, he heard someone discussing the battle plan. He stopped for a moment, winked at the soldiers on the side and signaled that there was no need to announce, and then gently lifted the door curtain and entered.

He is here to participate in the battle. There is no need to show his presence in advance and formulate a battle plan. There are higher-ranking noble lords, so he should keep a low profile, the better.

While the knights were gathered around the wooden table in the center, Lailan found an inconspicuous seat. As soon as he sat down, he was discovered first by the bored White Wolf Knight Creel Anlo.

"Ha! Everyone, the powerful knight I told you before is here!"

For a moment, the knights looked in the direction Creel said. Creel walked over with a smile on his face, picked up Lailan's arm, and brought him to his second-in-command position.

"Let me introduce you, this is 'Holy Hammer' Lairen, the newly appointed Kingdom Knight of Count Draven."

Creel couldn't suppress the smile on his face and said enthusiastically: "Your Excellency Lailan once killed a bloodthirsty bull and more than ten vampires by himself. This kind of strength is slightly stronger than everyone here."

ah!"

Lailan's face was full of black lines. It sounded like Creel was not introducing himself, but making enemies for himself.

"My Lord Baron."

The knight of the kingdom put his right hand to his chest towards the leader, bowed slightly, showed enough etiquette, and said modestly: "My lord, Lailen, it is an honor to fight alongside you."

"First of all, to correct a small flaw in Lord Creel's statement, I also relied on the help of dozens of paladins to banish the demon. In terms of strength, I am far inferior to Sir Creel."

"Praise our Lord for sending this powerful knight, Lord Lailan. Your arrival has tilted the balance of victory a little more towards us!"

Baron Yohn was dressed in aristocratic robes, his temples and beard had turned white, but his eagle eyes were bright, and he smiled kindly and extended his right hand to Lairon.

"It is my honor to fight side by side with you." Lailan greeted him, and the force from his palm was neither light nor heavy.

Baron Yohn shook hands with Laeran, and other knights also crowded around him. For a while, Laeran was crowded with people.

The young knight holding the baton, expressionless, looked at Lailan in the crowd with gloomy eyes. Apparently he felt that the latter had stolen the focus of the audience, especially Creel's praise of Lailan, which made him feel even more

uneasy.

The knight of the kingdom noticed a hint of hostility, glanced at the young knight calmly, and asked Baron Yohn: "Baron, who is this knight?"

"He is my second son, Sir Yog Yohn. He just became a knight last year." The baron said with a smile: "Yog, have you forgotten the etiquette of being a noble?"

"Hello, Lord Lailen." Out of politeness, Yuge tried his best to smile, stretched out his hand to greet the knight of the kingdom, and used a slight force on his palm.

"Hello, Sir Yog." Lailan smiled and looked as usual. "Sir, as the second son of the Baron, and with the support of the Baron, the two sides will definitely win a complete victory in this battle and defeat Norsca.

army."

Huh? This Kingdom Knight of the Earl of Delavan doesn't look so annoying anymore.

Yog Yohn was very dissatisfied with the White Wolf Knight interrupting his speech. He originally planned to suppress Laeran's arrogance and let him know whether Creel or Baron Yohn would lead this battle. But now, since Laeran

Lun is so understanding, so he should be more tolerant!

"I have admired your name for a long time, and I have been looking forward to fighting side by side with Lord Lailan for a long time. We are all knights of the Midden Territory, killing enemies in the name of my lord, and I hope that Lord Lailan will work together with me."

After the introduction, Baron Yohn first asked Oak Village whether the army was short of supplies.

Of course, Lailan was not polite, and bluntly said that the supplies were scarce, and the beastmen along the way attacked and harassed him, leaving his army exhausted and without enough food.

At this time, Yog Yohn stepped forward and was willing to provide food aid to Lelan at a parity price. He won praise from everyone and his prestige was vaguely increased.

It wasn't until nightfall that the pre-war meeting in the big tent dispersed.

What the knights discussed most was not about how to fight the Norscans, but about various logistical aspects such as baggage, weapons, and reinforcements.

Some people say that the battlefield is located in Baron Yohn, and all logistical needs should be left to Baron Yohn.

Some people say that late autumn has arrived, the cotton clothes prepared are not enough, and the pack horses are missing. They hope that all parties can support them.

It was a ridiculous pre-war meeting. Lairon and Creel had been talking about matters in their respective territories. Seeing the quarrels between the parties, they were about to fight each other. Lairen finally understood why Creel felt this way.

Totally bored.

The reindeer camp was divided into two parts. The army of the Earl of Delavan was in one place, and the army of the Baron of Yohn was in the other. Creel's station was not far from Lelan's station, and they happened to go along the way.

"Does this guy Yog Yorn have any objections to me?"

Recalling the scene in the big tent, Lailan couldn't help but chuckle. "It seems that I have never provoked the second son of the baron."

"This is the virtue of a pampered heir of a noble family."

Creel said nonchalantly: "Sir Yog is apparently the second son of Baron Yohn. In fact, he will inherit the position of baron in the future. With the old guy Baron Yohn's extreme love for him, he has grown up since he was a child.
