Chapter 284 Arrival
The sun slowly sank into the mountains on the left, and the clouds in the sky were dyed golden, like scales on the koi, spreading from the west to the top of the head.
The light with gold in red reflects on the green mountain rocks under your feet, causing the rocks to have many bright changes. In the cracks around the mountain rocks, the grass sprouts a tuft of tender buds, hidden in the shadow of the rocks, and carefully looks at the world.
If grass also has emotions, today is definitely a sad day for it.
Stepping... A horse's hooves inlaid with iron palms were stomped down heavily, and the tender grass buds were stepped into the depths of the soil. The juice of the tender grass and the soil were mixed together, emitting a fresh smell of grass.
Eugen rode over the mountain rock on the black gold, tightened the reins, raised his right hand and said loudly, "Stop for a moment!"
The large army following him stopped advancing and began to scatter around the hill, with the Dragon Horse Army inside and the infantry riding horses outside.
Even if there is no battle, they will naturally form a defensive formation. This habit has become an instinct. A simple defensive formation can cope with most emergencies.
Seeing the team stop, Alan, who was left in the middle of the army, immediately rode his horse forward, stopped beside Eugen and asked, "What's wrong, Lord Eugen, is there something wrong with it?"
Eugen shook his head, pointed to the surrounding environment, and said, "Allen, where are we now? I've been on the road for another day, and it should be not far from Vienna."
No one is perfect. Eugen may have many advantages, but in the recognition of his way, he is a complete roadblock. He was able to get lost in the Vienna palace, let alone now he has come to the desolate wilderness.
"Well, yes, we have crossed Waldegh, and we have reached the Vienna defense line, which is less than thirty kilometers. At our current marching speed, it is only an hour away."
Alan didn't take out the map, so he spoke directly back. He had always been responsible for the mission of the guide in the team. During the past few days of marching, he had developed a habit of taking out the map every half hour to confirm his current location.
Therefore, the entire team's progress is always in his control, and even if there are some errors, it will not be much worse.
"Oh, that's really close, so let's set up camp here next."
Eugen thought about it and said directly. After saying that, he turned off the horse, obviously not going to move forward.
"Hey?" Allen was a little confused. He quickly dismounted and followed Eugen, asking in confusion: "What? Lord Eugen, aren't we going to support the Vienna defense line? We are about to arrive, why should we stop here?"
Allen didn't understand this behavior very much. Logically speaking, things like sending troops to support should be faster, the better. How can we stop just by saying a stop? Is Eugen ready to shrink back and avoid the war?
Thinking of this, Alan quickly shook his head and threw away the unloyal idea in his mind. Eugen obviously could not shrink back and avoid the battle, otherwise he would not have had to rush back from the Pohe defense line.
"Well, support must be supported, but we can have better support methods. We don't have to rush to the defense line to call support."
Then Eugen checked the surrounding terrain again, waved to Allen and continued, "Today let the soldiers station here first, have a good rest and regain their energy. Call Simon over tonight and we will discuss tomorrow's tactics."
Hearing that the tactics were discussed, Allen dispelled his doubts and said with a smile again: "Well, okay, I'll go ahead and arrange it now."
As he said that, Allen walked backwards and began to give orders. Soon the soldiers in the team dismounted and began to set up camps around the hills.
If you look down from a height, you will find that Eugen's army looks colorful and gorgeous.
If you take a closer look, you will find that the colors are all floating flags. The colors of the flags are different, and the main patterns on them are also different, as if they were a group of miscellaneous soldiers who were pieced together.
There are so many flags that among the 1,500 people, one out of every three soldiers carries a flag on his shoulders.
This team looks like a group of regular "flag soldiers" teams, which can be said to be as weird as possible.
Alan and Simon were surprised by the order given by Eugen when the soldiers carried these flags. Until now, Eugen had not explained the purpose of doing this.
However, out of trust in Eugen, the two of them unconditionally executed Eugen's order. Anyway, it was just to let the soldiers carry a flag, which was not a big deal.
After Eugen got off the horse, he paced up on the hills, sometimes staring at the bluestone under his feet for a while, sometimes staring at a group of birds in the sky, just like a sentimental poet admiring the spring scenery.
Many people in the team noticed this scene, but no one said anything more. They were all ordinary soldiers, and the lord's affairs could not be discussed.
Among all, the only ones who dare to talk about two sentences are Allen and Simon.
Among the figures of a group of Dragon Horse soldiers, Alan and Simon secretly cat next to a large truck loading supplies, and straightened Alan and muttered quietly: "Hey, Simon, look at what our Lord Eugen is doing? Since he arrived in Graz, I thought he was strange. Do you think he is interested in someone?"
Simon always looked calm and calm. When he heard Allen's words, he did not react too much. He just glanced at the corner of his mouth and smiled disdainfully and said, "I think you are strange. In the small place of Graz, how could anyone be attracted to Lord Eugen? Don't forget that there are Princess Maria and Miss Margaretta waiting for Lord."
After saying this, Simon was about to leave. He was too lazy to continue this topic of nutrition.
"Hey, this is not accurate, Simon, listen to me." Allen stretched out his hand and grabbed Simon's sleeve, and said with a smile: "I'm a veteran after all, right? I think the tailor named Martha in Graz is good. Although his appearance is not very good, he has something to do with, hehe, did you forget how much we were concerned about that Martha tailor when we were in the city?"
