Lord Highlander

   Chapter 706 695. Arrival

  Suldak didn't expect that Baron Goss would change his mind, so he sent someone to catch up with a herd of 500 ancient horses, and completed the deal in the wild.

Although he had some slander against Baron Goss, he was not cold enough to reject the horse transaction. This transaction was also based on market conditions. Five hundred horses were converted into 10,000 gold coins. Following the followers of Baron Goss' manor, he returned to Baron Goss's manor by Bailin Lake, and handed over a bag full of gold coins to Baron Goss in person.

   Then Andrew and a guide caught up with the cavalry battalion on the same road.

  The cavalry battalion suddenly had 500 more ancient horses, which doubled the size of the cavalry team, and formed a long, long team on the pasture.

   Fortunately, Suldak hired 27 herdsmen in Watts Village. With their skilled horse herding skills, all the newly sent war horses were properly placed.

  This time the cavalry battalion has more than a thousand horses, basically every cavalry can have a horse that can be changed at any time. In this way, it will be much more convenient to march in a hurry in the future.

Fortunately, there are pastures along the way, so there is no need to prepare any additional fodder for the war horses. As long as the war horses drink water on time, these war horses will eat green grass on the grass for half an hour after drinking water. Although such a short time is not enough for the war horses to fill their stomachs, But it doesn't make them hungry.

  The Gubolai horses sent by the ranch have not undergone formal training. They do not understand simple riding instructions, and have not worn saddle covers. These must go through a period of training before the cavalry can ride normally.

  Suldak handed over the task of domesticating the 500 war horses to 27 herdsmen. Obviously, the 27 herdsmen were also very happy with Suldak's arrangement, and they began to domesticate the war horses along the way.

   Nika and Samira shared a horse, and when the cavalry battalion was resting, the two also ate together.

   With the special care of Samira, Nika only took half a day to get a preliminary understanding of the cavalry battalion.

The cavalry in the cavalry battalion were all kind to her, only the girl named Signa was a bit hostile to her. Although the two hadn't greeted each other yet, she knew that the little princess in the barracks must be very difficult to deal with. , everyone in the barracks took good care of Signa, she was on the white camel most of the time every day, she was a girl who didn't like to talk much.

  Samira took Nika with her and asked her to follow her to get familiar with life in the military camp.

   Unexpectedly, this local aboriginal girl is extremely adaptable, and soon knows what she should do every day.

The cavalry battalion had extra horses. In order to drive a longer distance every day, the cavalry set off before dawn every day and camped after sunset. After driving for four consecutive days, the cavalry battalion of Suldak finally left Weir. On the night of the eighth day in X City, they rushed to Dodan Town.

  …

  The town of Dodan is surrounded by mountains. This is an important pass leading to the Warcraft Forest in the northern part of the Bailin Plane.

The town is built on a highland surrounded by mountains. There is a valley road leading directly to the Warcraft Forest in the north of the Bailin Plane. If you don’t take this valley road, the surrounding mountains will have huge sharp teeth like blades. Looking down, you will find that the dangerous peaks around the forest of monsters are almost connected into a large area. If you want to bypass this pass and enter the forest of monsters in the north, you will have to detour for at least two days.

  So Dodan Town is called the gateway to the north of Bailin, which is not an exaggeration.

  Dodan Town is not so much a small town as it is a fortress.

   Just Suldak and the cavalry battalion are arriving at night.

  Because it was night, everyone didn't have an intuitive understanding of the whole picture of Dodan Town. Suldak originally wanted the cavalry battalion to station outside the city, spend the night, and transfer to the garrison tomorrow morning.

   Unexpectedly, the cavalry battalion of Langdon's regiment gave up the garrison camp overnight.

They were probably waiting too anxiously. Before the garrison handover ceremony was completed, the commander of the cavalry battalion hurried to Wilkes City with the main force of the cavalry battalion, leaving only a few deputies to garrison with Suldak. handover.

  Five hundred cavalrymen lived in the garrison barracks in the town. The dormitories in the barracks were three rows of wooden houses, and each row of wooden houses had about twenty dormitories. The dormitories were allocated according to the cavalry battalion squads, and it was midnight after a toss.

There is also a row of newly built stables in the garrison camp. Most of the nearly 1,000 war horses can be kept in the stables. Due to the limited size of the stables, there are more than 100 horses left outside the stables overnight. It is estimated that expanding the stables is a top priority. one thing.

An officer wearing a magic pattern hurried over. He was also a noble baron. When he saw Suldak, he greeted him very warmly: "Hello, I am from the 27th Cavalry Battalion of the Langdon Legion. Deputy Commander Maynard, has been specially ordered to stay in Dodan Town to conduct a garrison change and handover to you."

  In the night, this Baron Maynard looked a little older than Suldak, and he looked very stable. He saluted as he spoke.

Suldak saluted him and asked him: "Commander Maynard, hello! I am Suldak, the commander of the Independent Cavalry Battalion of the Luthor Legion. Next, I would like to trouble you to introduce the defense area and military affairs here. , Your battalion commander is in such a hurry to return to Wilkes City, is there something going on in the central city?"

   Baron Maynard shook his head and said:

"It's not Wilkes City, it's the home in Bena Province that was attacked by Lord McDonnell's private army. The summons was sent to Dodan Town today. Even if your cavalry battalion doesn't arrive in Dodan Town tonight, we will The main force of our cavalry battalion will return to Wilkes tomorrow morning."

  Suldak was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Lord MacDonnell actually launched an offensive against the noble lords of Benar province after Luthor's army entered the Bailin plane.

   What surprised him even more was that the noble lords who bore the brunt were actually the Langdon family.

  Suldak could only say euphemistically: "I didn't expect the situation at home to deteriorate so quickly..."

Baron Maynard's complexion was also very bad. Anyone who heard such news would not be in a good mood. He said a little tiredly: "Baron Suldak, take a good rest. I will take you first tomorrow morning." Familiar with the northward extension of Dodan Town, as well as the defenses that need to be responsible for each area in the city."

In addition to being responsible for the security of the town, the garrison here is the border of the occupied area of ​​the Bailin plane. They also need to patrol the border every day. They have to patrol in the morning, noon and evening. The defense targets are not only the natives of the plane in the mountains. Strength, there are also some gangs of robbers and monsters in the mountains.

However, on the day when Suldak arrived in Dodan Town, an adventure group outside the town was attacked by a group of thieves. There are several adventure groups in Dan Town that have been hunting on the edge of the Warcraft Forest for a long time. Recently, the bandit group has often appeared to plunder. These adventure groups have gone far and wide.

   Baron Maynard was very busy during the day, and he heard that the territory of the Benar Province was attacked by Lord McDonnell. At this time, he was also exhausted physically and mentally.

  The next morning, Baron Maynard introduced the defense of Dodan Town to Suldak. After completing the handover ceremony, he hurriedly took the last cavalry squadron of the cavalry battalion and hurried home.

  Suldak ordered people to hang the flag of the Luthor Legion on the top of the city.

   So far, the defense of Dodan Town has been handed over to the Luthor Legion.
