Chapter 237 River Crossing Organization(1/2)
When the large group of people came to the Rhine River, they were a little reluctant to see the big ships in the river. Yesterday's foggy ghost ship and the mountain-like figure in the fog once again stimulated their spirits.
Alison even saw many soldiers showing fighting postures, looking like they were ready to run away at any time.
"We seem to have forgotten to ask what is going on."
A viscount looked at the people around him. They were nervous this time. They were so overwhelmed with uneasiness, rewards and tasks that they instinctively did not ask questions about the Peace of the Rhine.
"What's the use of mentioning this now? We're still here and we've received a reward. Maybe it's all an accident."
People around me didn't want to mention the issue that nearly killed me anymore, but the taboo about this river remained.
Duke Kemon opened the car window and watched all this, with a deep expression on his face. Under the protection of Alison and McKenna, who was holding a cultist shield, he opened the car door and walked out.
"During my peace talks, some people were opposed, and the one who blocked you was one of them, trying to cause a big misunderstanding at the beginning of the establishment of the Consulate."
Duke Caimon glanced at everyone, "But don't worry, he was secretly executed last night. As for who he is, the Grand Duke means to keep it secret. After all, the sinner is dead, so there will be no harm to the family."
As soon as Duke Caimon spoke out, the crowd immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't the Grand Duke's fault.
"Cross the river. Nothing will happen again. Your knights are still waiting for you."
Duke Caimon observed their expressions one by one, and then said to Alison and McKenna, who were standing guard on his left and right, "Let's get on the boat first."
As Camon and the others boarded the boat and drove to the other side of the river, a group of viscounts came to their senses. They boarded the boat one after another and spent the time safely on the tranquil river. They then looked for their knights and told about the surprises they got.
"You have followed me before. Now that your lord is dead, the territory will definitely not be able to support itself. Come back to me and I will lead you to expand your territory!"
"It doesn't need to be made too clear what everyone's status is. It doesn't matter who you are loyal to, as long as you give them enough money."
Familiar people can always be easily persuaded, especially under the watchful eye of the Thousand-Man Team. They all know in their hearts that if they didn't run away before, they won't be able to run away now.
Seeing that they successfully collected the knights, Camon nodded happily and began to announce the list of troops and plan the legion.
There are more than 31,000 people, a small team of 14 people, three small teams make up a squadron of about 46 people, three squadrons make up a group of about 152 people, three groups make up a battalion of about 659 people, and ten battalions make up about 7,000 people.
Human legions, two legions and two basic legions have one commander.
This is divided into infantry, cavalry, spellcasting, baggage, guards, and war supervision.
Among them, there are 3,700 infantry, divided into spearmen, swordsmen, shields and archers, 13,000 cavalry, divided into light cavalry, heavy cavalry and scouts, 10,000 casters, 2,000 baggage, guards and
Supervise the battle of 1,200 men.
One hundred and fifty of them did not arrive.
After half a day's distribution, the army set out after lunch. Camon, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the long cavalry and couldn't help but sigh, "Thirteen thousand cavalry and ten thousand spellcasters, it feels like going to fight Adizimre."
The special empire is enough."
Although Camon said this, everyone in the carriage knew that what he wanted to conquer was the kingdom.
"There are indeed many. It feels like the war horses of the entire kingdom are concentrated here." Ryan looked outside the carriage and couldn't help but nodded and said, "As far as I know, in the war, there are too few with more than 10,000 horses."
"But on a normal battlefield, the ratio of troops to cavalry is three to one, and our ratio is three to ten." McKenna looked at Ryan and said, "I don't think such a deviant team can defeat the empire."
"Oh? You are so knowledgeable." Ryan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he reached out to touch McKenna's hair.
"Wow~" Alison kicked the cultist's shield standing next to her, directly blocking Ryan's hand.
"Where are you touching?" Alison raised her chin and asked him.
Ryan was a little surprised when he saw the hand being bounced back. He looked at Alison with an innocent look in his eyes, "I just wanted to touch her hair."
"This is my junior sister. You are not allowed to be touched by anyone, not even with a hair." Alison looked at him sideways, "I will only warn you once, and I will chop off your hand the next time you make any move.
"
"I swear I didn't mean to hurt anyone." Ryan frowned when he heard this, but still maintained his restraint, "Do you have any misunderstandings about me?"
After hearing this, Alison waved her hand towards him, and then said in a voice that could be heard by everyone, "Bishop Stephank said you are an alchemist."
"I'm not." Ryan was very surprised when he heard this, "We have also been in contact with each other, how could he talk nonsense."
"So you mean to say that the bishop lied?" Alison looked at Ryan who looked ugly and shook his head slightly, "I don't believe it."
"If you were not a woman, I would fight you right now." Ryan looked at Alison with a frown on his face, "Captain Alison, you are now the commander of the Guards Regiment, why are you sitting in the carriage?
Do you think there won’t be any accidents on the march?”
"I've been observing the situation around me. Don't try to push me away." Alison hugged McKenna, who looked at Ryan curiously. "If you don't believe me, you can ask me what's around me."
"Seeing and defending are two different things. You don't have soldiers, so you can't protect the commander's safety at all." Ryan looked at Alison, "Get out of the car! You have to surround the carriage all the way around, this is an order!"
Alison was indifferent after hearing this. She rang her hand, and thirty zombie dogs immediately appeared around the carriage. Compared with the previous zombie dogs, this time it was basically impossible to tell that they were monsters.
"You want protection from the front, rear, left and right." Alison glanced at the zombie dogs around and said.
"Can't you hear me? I want you to get out of the car!" Ryan said angrily, "A group of wild dogs can also act as guards, why don't you let them become lords?"
"There's nothing wrong with that." Alison looked at Ryan, "If you feel that my men are not strong enough, you can let your people try to charge the carriage."
When Ryan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and was about to become angry, but when he saw Duke Caymon sitting in the carriage acting like a fool and not saying a word, he thought for a moment and finally endured it.
"When you get to the southwest border fortress, if you don't have so many qualified soldiers to serve as subordinates, you can be my vanguard."
Ryan looked at Alison and said viciously, then turned around and jumped out of the carriage.
"The marching scouts are not allowed to be lazy. Who asked you to return to the team? Continue to investigate for me!"
Lane shouted outside, but Alison ignored it. She touched McKenna's little head and looked at Kaimeng who was sitting aside and said nothing, "Commander Lane was not like this when we first met him.
."
"The first time you were guests, now you are subordinates, so naturally it's different."
Camon leaned on the carriage and said slowly, "And those nobles were too cooperative when they first formed the team, so I can't play much of a role."
"You are the commander." Alison heard this and looked at Kaimon.
"Do you think I can suppress him?" Kai Meng shook his head slightly, "The leaders and above are all their people, and even if they weren't, I wouldn't dare."
"I understand, as you get older, you just want to stay alive." Alison nodded.
Kai Meng looked helpless when he heard this, and in the end all his explanations turned into a sigh, "Isn't the team assembled before arriving at the border reliable?"
"It must be reliable. We all signed the contract." After hearing this, Alison took out the contract book and wrote the doctrine of the Guards on it.
Chapter 16.1 Alison’s Guards Brigade
After reorganizing on the banks of the Rhine, Chemon's army, which had calmed the chaos, moved forward. The cavalry opened the way. Countless horse hooves stepped on the road in early spring, raising billowing smoke and dust, covering everything.
The vehicle creaked forward and meandered for six or seven miles on the village road. Alison kept looking out the window, and from time to time looked at the video screen returned by the big eye on the roof of the carriage. They did not go around the hills until dark.
, stationed outside a city called Osseus.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding~"
In the center of countless bonfires, Alison directed twenty paper men to erect a huge tent, which would be Duke Caimon's temporary headquarters.
Half an hour later, in the tent that was set up, Alison and McKenna stood on the left and right behind Duke Kemon, watching a room full of leaders having a meeting.
"We are walking empty-handed all the way, but fortunately all the knights have prepared their own food. However, if there is a continuous war there, it will not be enough. For this reason, we will purchase it here, and the baggage team will also start to take on the logistics support work in the future."
Camon looked at a group of commanders, "What do you think?"
"What the commander said is good, but this place is too far from the battlefield, and transporting baggage would be a waste of time and cause huge losses," said a commander.
"It is necessary to allocate troops to escort along the way. It is not recommended to entrust them to important positions during the period when new knights are defecting." Another commander added.
"Luggage."
Duke Caimon raised the question, and all the commanders expressed their thoughts. The headquarters was very lively for a while, and finally after discussion, it was decided that according to the first officer's idea, the marching speed should be maintained first, and the baggage was not important.
The subsequent battle methods and route advancements were all coordinated by other commanders, which made Alison truly feel that Duke Cammon was here to be the mascot.
When the meeting ended and all the leaders left to let their respective captains preside over the meeting, Alison walked aside relaxedly and sat down with a chair.
She picked up the pen, wrote a letter and handed it to McKenna.
"Send it to the church in this city and have them send it to Neckarson Church as quickly as possible."
"Understood." McKenna put the letter in her pocket and ran out of the tent.
"Then I'll take my leave. Commander, please rest assured tonight." After Alison saw her junior sister leaving to deliver the letter, she stood up and walked out. Following her into the tent were four paper figures wearing blush.
"Wow~" After the paper figures entered the tent, they stood in the four corners, guarding Kaimon directly. Kaimon's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. They didn't look like human beings at all.
Outside the camp, sixteen zombie dogs were guarding the outside of the tent in eight directions. The rest and the paper men were patrolling at night. During the process, Ryan deliberately sent the commander to test, but all of them were seriously injured because of their forced intrusion.
This made Ryan very angry.
"You're so harsh on your own people?"
"If it was an outsider, he would have died long ago." Alison glanced at Ryan, "Aren't you from the Empire? Why are there no rules at night?"
"How do you think this matter should be handled?" Ryan asked.
"Expelled from the army or killed on the spot." Alison said, "After all, they are your people. You don't need to ask me for instructions."
"I said it was you!" Ryan glared at Alison, "You hurt someone, you have to give an explanation no matter what!"
"I am performing the duties of a guard, and even if I make any mistakes, I don't have to explain to you."
Alison looked at Ryan, "The commander said that I am only responsible for him."
