Chapter 209 Leading the troops back north

At the gate of the Solburg Armory, the legion's baggage officer pointed to a pile of worn leather and cotton armor and swords, hammers and axes with severe war damage, and said to Spencer who came to return the military supplies: "Spencer, the weapons and armor you took from me are not these rags. You are not good to fool me with these rags now?"

Spencer looked slutty and took out a few parchment paper from his arms and photographed a pile of rags. "Master Bailout Officer, please take a closer look. All the items listed on these martial arts supplies are here, and we have a lot of them."

"You little man is here to play tricks on me. Are you taking these things from the arsenal? All you take away are newly seized excellent military equipment! Let me tell you that the military equipment you take away is acquiesced by the Legion Commander, and the return of the military equipment is also an order issued by the Legion Commander himself. If the Legion Commander blames him, your family will not be able to bear it." The legion's tone was extremely tough.

Spencer stared at the angry legion's baggage officer, blinked, pulled the baggage officer's sleeve closer, and said in a very respectful tone: "Master Bagage Officer, don't be angry, don't be angry~"

The legion's baggage officer snorted, turned his head and closed his eyes and ignored Spencer.

Spencer followed him to the army's baggage officer, and said with a smile: "Master Bagage officer, don't worry, my master didn't say that he would not return those martial arts."

After hearing this, the legion's baggage officer finally opened a gap with his closed eyes, "Your lord is pretty good. You said you are all leaving the legion, why are you embarrassed to take away the extra military equipment provided by the legion? You have taken them away. What are the brothers coming from behind wearing? What are they using? Lord Yat is also a person who knows military skills and fights. Do you have the heart to watch the legion's brothers fighting naked under the city of Verno?"

"No! No!" Spencer echoed.

The baggage officer's anger calmed down a little, turned his head to look at Spencer, and said, "Then you send those weapons and armor to the warehouse quickly! You will leave early tomorrow morning."

After hearing this, Spencer lowered his head and rubbed his hands constantly in front of him, his expression in a very embarrassing way.

Seeing that Spencer had no sound for a long time, the legion's baggage officer urged, "Do you go back and confiscate it?"

Spencer raised his head and squeezed out a very twisted smile, "Master Bailout Officer~ This, this~ is a little troublesome~"

The legion's baggage officer's eyelids jumped a few times, "What trouble! Where did the trouble come from?"

Spencer pulled the corner of the baggage officer's clothes and signaled to speak aside.

The legion's baggage officer looked at the several baggage soldiers and arsenal officers around him, and slapped Spencer's hand away, "If you have something to say, just say it here!"

Spencer leaned forward and tiptoed to the legion's baggage officer and whispered a few words.

The army's baggage officer's eyes widened and his face became increasingly ugly.

"What!!! You dare to sell military supplies in private!!!"

"Shh~~~Shuh, whisper, whisper~" Spencer quickly stopped the roar of the legion's baggage officer.

The legion’s baggage officer also found himself too excited and quickly closed his voice, "You are too brave! The legion has long had a ban, and all weapons and armor belonging to the legion are not allowed to be sold privately. Aren’t you afraid of being dealt with by military law?!"

Spencer looked helpless and smiled bitterly: "There is no way. Our soldiers' military pay is too high, and all the deaths and injuries in battle have to be settled by my parents. We have to rely on these small trades to earn money to support soldiers. How can we do it if we don't try to get some money?"

"Besides, there is no way to make money, no golden stuff fills your wallet~" Spencer said, then turned around and quickly put a wallet into the open arms of the legion's baggage officer.

If it were the past, the baggage officer would take it with the flow, but today the commander of the Legion issued a strict order, and he would still dare to take it back to Spencer.

Spencer stopped the baggage officer's movements and said, "Don't worry, we will not make things difficult for you, we will definitely not make things difficult for you."

The baggage officer was attracted by Spencer's words "not to be embarrassed", so he no longer refused to refuse the bulging wallet in his arms.

"Although we have sold the military supplies taken out of the arsenal to the vendors, my master told me that I would return the money to the legion as much as possible. In this way, the legion can use this money to purchase the military."

When the legion’s baggage officer heard Spencer say this, he still felt so anxious that he couldn’t let go, “The Legion Commander ordered you to hand over the military equipment, what’s wrong with you giving back the money?”

"We must not be able to get the military supplies back, otherwise you might as well let the Legion commander punish us." Spencer shrugged.

The legion's baggage officer sighed, "That's all we can do. How much did you buy that batch of military supplies?"

Spencer stretched out five fingers.

The baggage officer thought he had sold 50,000 Finneys and was overjoyed, "You are so amazing, you actually sold 50,000 Finneys!"

Spencer shook his head repeatedly and waved his hand and added: "Five thousand~ is five thousand Finney~"

The baggage officer almost fainted when he heard this, pointed at Spencer's nose and cursed: "What??? You sold 5,000 Finneys? Those martial arts are worth at least 20,000 Finneys, and they are not something you can buy casually. Who are you cheating on?"

"Master Bailout Officer, I didn't lie to you. Now there are many people selling armored weapons in Solburg. We are anxious to use money, so the price is extremely low."

"This is five thousand Finneys, all returned to the Legion."

Spencer took advantage of the fact that the baggage officer was so angry that he quickly put a big money bag on the ground, turned around and ran away with a few baggage soldiers leading the carriage...

…………

"Legislative Commander, that guy Yat obviously wanted to swallow the extra military equipment distributed by the Legislature. Five thousand Finney and a bunch of rags wanted to exchange so many excellent military equipment. He became a shrewd merchant, but he regarded us as fools. Moreover, the mercenaries assigned to him by the dozen or so legions didn't know what kind of demons they were possessed, and would rather pay a high amount of punishment for abandoning the contract and return to the north with them~"

"That guy Charis is not a good thing. When he asked him to return his military equipment, he picked more than a dozen seriously damaged iron scale armor and piercing armor for us. What's even more excessive is that he has actually poached people in the legion these two days, and eight or nine low-level officers with strong combat power have been poached by him."

"Sir, why don't I take people to their barracks to confiscate all the weapons and armor, and then seize the soldiers belonging to the Legion, I don't know that they dare not resist."

In the Hall of the Lord of Solburg, the Legion Adjutant is reporting on the various deeds of Charis and Yat.

Viscount Jeffrey lifted the purse on the table and weighed it, saying, "You are also the one who escaped from the vortex of the palace. Now we don't dare to offend the people on both sides. These two guys dare to be so arrogant after they capture this. Now they are about to leave the legion. Do you still want to use military law to punish them? Do you guarantee that the winner will not be them?"

The lieutenant of the legion was speechless when asked.

"Forget it, let's do it." Jeffrey put his butt on the chair and brushed his hands on his face.

"By the way, have you sent the secret letter you sent to Count Bernard?"

"I have sent someone to send it out quietly. Earl Bernard will definitely be grateful to you when he gets this news." The adjutant of the Legion replied.

"It's not easy to survive when we are sandwiched between two groups~" Jeffrey sighed to the sky.

…………

In a central warehouse in the southwest of Solburg, Yat, who has a long-sleeved mail coat and a well-body armor, is calling on the officers above the captain to discuss matters.

At this time, all the officers in the room took off their usual armor and replaced them with the exquisite half-body armor of the Lombards and long-sleeved chain mail, which looked extremely energetic and full of energy.

Yat looked around and said, "Looking at the armor on you, those who don't know thought that you are all leaders of the imperial guards."

There was a burst of laughter in the room.

"Everyone, I believe everyone knows that we are going to return north. Yesterday we received a military order from the Besanson Palace. The court ordered us to go north immediately after receiving the order, so we have to lead our army to return north early tomorrow morning."

"We have been training in Solburg for more than a month and prepared our troops. We originally planned to make great achievements in the city of Verno and return to triumphantly, but now that we are told to return north, there must be a major battle for us, so don't be depressed, there are still a lot of opportunities to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions."

There was another burst of laughter from everyone.

"Today I'm asking you to come here to arrange for the return of North. Odo, let's talk about the resettlement of the army's wounded personnel and the preparation of food and food supplies on the way back of North." Yat said to Odo, who was sitting beside him.

Odo bowed to Ath and said, "Sir, I will talk about the supplies first. During this period, all the food and money of our army were supplied by the army, so we only had a small amount of food. The court's order came too suddenly, and we had no time to make sufficient preparations. The army no longer allocated our military food, and even the grain warehouse did not dare to buy us food privately. Therefore, I had to let the baggage team buy five-day military food from the black market in Solburg for a high price. The shortage could only be purchased on the way back north. The situation on Sir Charles was similar. He was more than us and consumed more food."

"In terms of war-catching materials, according to the order of the adults to "lightly and simple travel", we have urgently changed the army. All soldiers have replaced them with more sophisticated weapons and armor. The eliminated worn armor and weapons were returned to the army together with the five thousand Finneys. Now the entire army is full of strong soldiers and well-equipped military equipment. After the army has changed, the remaining batch of excellent weapons and armor are all sorted up and loaded into vehicles and returned north with the army. Other spoils that the caravans such as cloth and woolen have not yet been transported away are not convenient to carry with the army, so I bought this batch of goods to the merchants in the city, and the price is quite reasonable."

"As for the seriously injured soldiers in the army who are inconvenient to return north with the army, it is a little trouble. Our caravan will not come to Solburg again in at least twenty days. These seriously injured soldiers are not suitable for long distances following the army. Apart from staying to recuperate, there is no better way. Three seriously injured soldiers died this month, two of whom have been buried in the cemetery outside the city, and the other soldier who died in battle has relatives in the valley, so we cremated them, and the bone colonies will be brought back to the valley with the bone colonies of the other two brothers to their families."

"Time is in a hurry. The above is my arrangement for the military affairs. Please tell me." After saying that, Odo looked at Yat in the main position quietly.

Yat pondered for a while and asked, "How many serious injuries do we have? Is there a possibility of cure?"

Odologa thought and replied: "There are eleven of our seriously injured soldiers in the baggage team treatment center. After the treatment of Father Robert and our baggage soldiers, four or five people are expected to be cured. The rest have been pulled back from the gate of hell. Although there is no hope of recovery, there is definitely no problem to survive."

"In this way, the baggage team left two seriously injured soldiers who were temporarily taking care of our severely injured soldiers. After our caravan arrived in Fort Sol, let the caravan try to transport these seriously injured back to the valley."

"Okay!" Odo answered.

Yat suddenly remembered Father Robert and asked, "By the way, Father Robert did not agree to join us? This is a rare good priest, but I still expect him to continue to preach the gospel of God for us."

Odo shook his head, "Father Robert was very hesitant. He said that he was the Archbishop who personally selected the priest who went south to accompany the army. He left easily without permission and could not explain to the church."

Yat ordered: "Tell him that as long as he is willing to follow me, I will naturally be able to deal with the Besanson church, so that he will not have to worry. In addition, tell him - follow me, I will give him the opportunity to realize his faith in his heart. If he still refuses to leave, let our caravan find a way to take him back to the valley. Anyway, I will make up for this priest."

Yat now regards this priest named Robert as a treasure. This priest not only has a rare skill, but also has the spirit of doubting the tradition of seeking truth.

"It's an adult, I'll go and persuade you again."

"Forget it, I'll go and persuade him myself."

Yat and Odo explained the general affairs of the army, then turned to Angus and asked, "Master Sergeant, talk about military affairs."

Angus looked at the people in the room and said, "After a new round of recruitment and training and reorganization in February, we have successively promoted ten new combat soldiers, which has made up for the combat losses of each team of combat soldiers. This time, the army maintained the scale of the central army guards. Five infantry squadrons, whistle cavalry teams, crossbow teams and baggage teams. In addition to the temporary injuries, a total of 105 people returned to the north this time."

"According to the news from the patrol posts of the Solburg Peripheral Legion, the Lombards have been driven to the south, and the road to return to the north is basically smooth. There are only one or two complex areas along the way with bandits. However, we are large in number, and I think ordinary bandits dare not disturb us."

"The above is an important matter for military affairs. In addition, there is another thing that needs to be reported to you."

"you say."

"Sir Reyek is basically healed, and he wants to join our army," Angus said.

The wandering knight named Reyek Harred was sleeping in Yat's hospital for three days. With the full efforts of Robert and the soldiers, the guy saved his life.

Reyek was appointed as the captain of the infantry flag after joining the Provence army, but in the years of war he lost almost all his soldiers and brothers. Now he has only two soldiers and attendants under him and is temporarily in the camp of Ate.

After learning that Yat was about to lead his army to the north, Reyek refused to recruit the Eastern Legion and resolutely decided to follow his savior back to the north and leave this sad land forever.

Yat originally wanted to recruit this Wandering Knight with rich combat experience, but he kept thinking that the other party was also a knight Lord, so it was hard to say it out. However, since he took the initiative to propose it, Yat would of course not refuse.

"Tell Sir Reyek that he is welcome and I will walk alongside him."

"Yes!" Angus answered.
