After the group returned to Tikhlog Fort, it was already approaching noon. Xie Feng quickly wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Ali to explain the production of "Fire Dragon One". After everything was prepared,

Lunch time has just arrived.

Dinner is the time when most people are gathered together, and important but not urgent matters are usually announced during meal time. Xie Feng quickly cleared away the food in front of him and picked up a rag to wipe it.

After picking up the food residue at the corner of his mouth, he stood up and announced: "Wait... ah, no, it's now. Now I'm going to Kudan Daku for a run... Well, they are the cavalry of the Kujit Khanate. In name only.

I’m going to fight them. In fact, it’s just a short walk around the border, which may still be a bit dangerous. Who wants to go with me?”

After finishing speaking, except for Xie Feng and Korulo, six people present raised their twelve hands.

Xie Feng was so frightened that these guys were too united, right? We were going to fight, so he quickly said: "Hey! Rice (Minos), who will guard the house when you go?"

A wry smile appeared on Minos's face, and he said: "You have to let me go out for a walk occasionally, right? You can't always let me guard the city, right? I am also a soldier after all, and I have been working as a guard for the past two months. It's not interesting at all.

No."

After Xie Feng thought for a while, he said: "Okay, you can follow. But you have to choose a smart and capable person among the soldiers to take your place - ah? Xiaozhu (Judy), why don't you

Follow? It’s very dangerous.”

Judy pouted her lips in a rare gesture and complained: "Like Uncle Minos, I have been staying in the castle for a long time. In addition to doing hygiene every day, I just cook, and it's so boring. Brother Xie Feng and I, please come out

It’s to see the world. If I had known you would leave me in the castle forever, I might as well have stayed at home and knitted straw hats.”

Xie Feng had a dark look on his face. That's right, he had never taken Judy out since he was stationed at Tichlog Fort. This was indeed a dereliction of duty on his part as a captain, so he said kindly: "Okay, okay, little one.

Pig, just come with me. I don’t know how long it will take to come back. I won’t feel well if I don’t eat your food for a day.” This caused Sera to silently give her a murderous look.

Xie Feng looked at the remaining four people and said helplessly: "We can't all follow them. How can we do it without an old teammate sitting guard in the castle?" Xie Feng's eyes swept over everyone in turn.

Glancing at Sera, the murderous look in Sera's eyes became even more solemn, and Xie Feng was so frightened that he quickly jumped over.

Glancing at Fernand, Fernand said confidently: "Don't you think it is a very wise choice to let a good crossbowman follow you to fight the cavalry?" Well, you are smart and skip it.

Glancing at Effie, Effie continued to eat, not noticing Xie Feng at all. Xie Feng sighed, it doesn't matter, it's not bad to have someone strong as a thug, skip it.

Glancing at Jack, Jack narrowed his eyes and said slyly: "I am the only cavalryman in your team."

Xie Feng grasped his hair with both hands in collapse, and finally said, "Forget it! Korulo, come with me!"

Korulo asked questions all over the sky, puzzled: "Why?"

Xie Feng said: "It's useless for you to stay here alone. You are idle anyway. Don't you know some medical skills? Someone might be injured and need your care. In addition, it is not a bad thing to let you get in touch with war."

Corullo sounded reasonable and had no choice but to agree.

At this time Minos said: "Since the Kingdom of Nord is no longer at war with anyone, why not take all the soldiers away together?"

Xie Feng thought for a while and said: "Originally, the 0 guards left behind at Tichlog Castle are not attached to me. They are only responsible for assisting me in garrisoning the castle. I have no right to take them with me."

Minos said: "Then let them continue to stay here. It doesn't make sense for a castle to be completely empty anyway."

So, half an hour later, except for Ali, all the members of the "Dang Kou Army" set out from Tikhlog Fort and marched in the direction of Kudan. Along the way, they chased and fought against robbers.

They were talking and laughing, and it was very lively. Rather than saying that they were going to support the Kingdom of Vigiya to fight against the Kugit Khanate, it was better to say that they were a traveling group, rushing to go on an autumn outing.

After two days of traveling, the bandit army finally arrived at Kudan at dusk the next day. After Xie Feng settled everyone, he rushed to the tavern where Aetherrod was. He hadn't seen Aetherrod for three days.

De's injury has healed a lot, and he can now barely get out of bed and walk around. When he saw Xie Feng arriving, he knew that Xie Feng was ready, so the two began to discuss matters against Kujit.

The two sat opposite each other. Aetherrod pointed to the map on the table and said: "Now Fort Lelag has been captured by the Kujit Khanate, and Shules, a village east of Kudan, was captured a few days ago.

The looting has been completed. Now Kujit’s cavalry has been stationed in a forest south of Kudan, and it is estimated that the attack on Kudan will begin tomorrow.”

Xie Feng asked: "How many people are there on the other side?"

Aetherrod said: "The lords who participated in the attack this time are Nayan Wumuda from Sajiche Fort, Nayan Dundu Shi from Turbuk Fort, and Nayan Tuoju from Aichmore. The number is about 600.

People around."

Xie Feng was puzzled: "Since this is the first official battle of the war, shouldn't the whole country attack together?" In the game, the marshal often summoned troops from all over the country to go out together for missions. Xie Feng was still very impressed, and he was dumbfounded.

Patrolling everywhere behind the marshal, sometimes running for several days without even fighting a battle. Moreover, the marshal's forward speed is generally N times slower than the speed of his own troops. He often has to run and then stand still and wait for the marshal to follow him.

It's very annoying to keep a distance and then follow up.

Aethelrod said: "If all the troops are mobilized to fight Vigia, what if the Kingdom of Swadia or the Sultanate of Salander invades? So at any time - except when the country is about to perish, otherwise any country

There will never be a grand occasion of troops from all over the country marching together."

Xie Feng nodded. A game is a game after all. How could it be possible in reality to mobilize all the soldiers and horses from all over the country to go around and hold a grand military parade?

Xie Feng asked again: "What about the troops participating in the resistance in Virginia?"

Aetherrod said: "There are about 50 guards in Kudan, 150 people are led by Kumubaboye from Loma Fort, and 10 people are led by Mamounboye from Threzke Fort to participate in the action against Kujit.

.In addition, Nergboye of Lerag Castle escaped from the castle with 70 people and also participated in the resistance war."

Xie Feng buried his head and calculated, 50 plus 150 plus 10 plus 70... Well, 690 people. In terms of numbers, it seems that Virginia still has a slight advantage. However, war is not a competition in terms of numbers. If it is a field battle,

In other words, the 600 Kujit cavalry is not inferior to the 1,000 Vigian infantry and cavalry mixed force, and even winning is not a problem.

Aetherrod continued: "I have a total of 114 soldiers and horses, but now there are less than 90 who can continue to fight - those who cannot fight were injured last time - originally I had 14

Human..." Thinking of his dead subordinates, Aetherrod clenched his fist tightly.

Xie Feng calculated again, adding Aetherrod's 90 people and his own 0 people, then the resistance army had a total of 810 people. Then he suddenly remembered something and asked quickly: "Then our army fights on its own

Are you going to be a guerrilla, or are you going to join Vaegia’s camp and accept the dispatch?”

Aethelrod glanced at Xie Feng and said: "With my character and relationship with the Kingdom of Vigia, how could I join them? But this time they tacitly agreed that we would participate in the resistance as reinforcements.

"Then the conversation changed and he added: "This time, you will lead my 90 troops and participate in the assistance as reinforcements from the Kingdom of Nord. Well, you should get yourself a flag to identify yourself."

Xie Feng said: "Flag? Isn't it something only those with noble status can have?"

Aetherrod said: "Who stipulated it? The function of the flag was originally to distinguish different forces. Only those who are noble lords need to use such flags. How do ordinary people need these? This is why people later mistakenly believed that flags are for nobles.

symbol."

Wow, that's it, why didn't you tell me earlier? Xie Feng has always wanted to get a flag to represent his bandit army. Now the exciting moment has arrived, but...how to draw the flag well?

Xie Feng shook his head. Let's discuss the flag matter with everyone when he gets back. What he should be thinking about now is how to fight Kujit, so Xie Feng asked: "Brother, what do you think about how to fight specifically?"

Aetherrod said: "Kujit's cavalry is too powerful. If the weapons are exchanged, we will suffer a lot of losses. If we shoot arrows, they are hiding in the woods and will not be of much use. So we can only shoot a small group of people to lure them away."

Come out, and then set up an ambush..."

Xie Feng interrupted: "Why not just burn the forest? That would save a lot of trouble?"

Aethelrod laughed and said: "Use fire? Oh, this is indeed a fresh idea. How did you come up with it?"

Xie Feng was sweating profusely. There had never been such a thing as a fire plan in the continent of Calradia. It was not like the war in his original world history, which would burn the camp for seven hundred miles, burn the chain ship, burn Bowang, burn...

… This burning destroys nature and brings great pollution to the environment. This is the gap in concepts!

Aetherrod nodded and said: "Burning the woods is indeed a good idea. Well, I will ask my subordinates to make rockets now, and you will lead the troops to burn the woods late at night to catch Kujit off guard!

"

Xie Feng said in his heart, if my "Fire Dragon III" is developed, I have to let you see what bombing is!

After bidding farewell to Aetherrod, Xie Feng returned to the hotel where his adventure group was stationed. On the way, he went to a grocery store that was closing and bought a piece of linen, a clothes pole and some dyes.

In the hotel, everyone stood together. On the big wooden table in the middle was a piece of linen cut to the size of a door panel, with various dyes placed on it.

Serra was the first to speak: "Well! There should be flying knives drawn all around, with the knife heads pointed at the middle, and then a tiger head drawn in the middle."

Xie Feng said with shame: "Hey! Be serious! Why do you want to shoot a tiger with a throwing knife? Do you have any problem with me? Besides, you are the only one here who can use a throwing knife."

Fernand said: "You should draw a gold dinar coin spinning in the air."

Xie Feng complained: "You should give me the whole dynamic picture to look at."

Effie excused herself: "Draw a roast pig. Only when the army is full can they have the strength to fight!"

Xie Feng went crazy: "You look like a roast pig."

Minos said: "Why don't you draw two intersecting swords? This will also look mighty."

Xie Feng shook his head and said: "This is too ordinary, I hope it is a little creative."

Jack interjected: "How about we draw a map of the continent of Calradia? This is definitely creative enough, and it's also practical."

Xie Feng collapsed: "Why don't you tell others to hang up the sheets you wet on the bed when you were three years old? Just tell others that this is the new world you discovered."

Corullo said: "Why don't you write down some self-diagnosis and treatment methods for common injuries? If everyone knows it by heart, it will be good for their own health."

Xie Feng banged his head against the wall: "This is a flag, not a health promotion poster..."

Then, everyone looked at the silent Judy in silence. She was the only one present who did not put forward her own ideas. Xie Feng also looked at Judy with an expectant look, hoping that a miracle would happen, this little girl

He has amazing words and unique ideas.

Judy felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by everyone. She looked at the linen, then at the dye, and finally at Xie Feng, who was looking forward to it. She picked up her head and thought for a while, and finally shrugged. Come on, don't

She was so eloquent that she didn't even bother to speak.

At this time, the door was suddenly opened, and a soldier rushed into the crowd and shouted excitedly to Xie Feng across the table: "Captain! There was news from General Aetherrod, saying that his men and horses are ready.

We can move out at any time. When will we start?" The soldier ran too fast and did not stop until he hit the table. The bottles and jars containing dye on the table were knocked over and the dye was spilled all over the linen.

On top of the cloth. Seeing that he was in trouble, the soldier was so frightened that he hurriedly lifted up all the fallen bottles. His hands trembled and more dye spilled out. The soldier said anxiously: "Ah! I'm sorry, captain! I didn't mean it!"

Xie Feng silently looked at the linen stained by dyes, and suddenly felt that the patterns soaked in various dyes blended together to form a super-modern abstract painting, whose artistic effect surpassed that of Picasso.
Chapter completed!
