Chapter 2379

A few days later, the whole gray dove mercenary regiment followed the first team of the newly-built Steel Bone Legion to the territory of the Kanger Si Empire in the north.

Yes, the empire announced the establishment of a new legion, which was not beyond everyone's expectations. After declaring war on so many countries at once, most people also guessed that the empire was planning to continue expanding its military.

It's just that the empire didn't continue to build the Eighth Army in the previous order, but started anew and established a steel-skeleton army. At this time, no one knows why the steel bone army is called the steel bone army. In the eyes of outsiders, isn't this just a matter of changing the name?

What most people don't know is that when Linton attacked, he even divided the steel-framed army into several teams to attack in several directions.

Obviously, the original legion could not achieve such a long-term division of troops, which would lead to confusion in the command system. Your long-term division of troops is worse than rebuilding a legion, isn't it? Otherwise, because of the rank relationship between the officers and the officers, they would not know whose orders to obey.

But the steel skeleton army obviously didn't have this trouble. After all, there were no officers in this army. All soldiers are combat troops, and the real commander should be Asuna.

So no matter how it is divided, the combat effectiveness of the steel-skeleton army is guaranteed, and there will be no chaos. So the steel-bone army here temporarily divided into 4 troops, led the recruited mercenary regiment, and started marching in the planned direction.

The gray dove mercenary group followed the first team, and the number of steel-framed troops here was about 20,000. Of course, the mercenaries following them were not just the Gray Pigeon Mercenary Group.

After all, they had just been separated, and the number of Gray Dove Mercenary Corps was obviously far from enough. Now there are about 8 mercenary regiments following this first team, and the total number of various combat logistics and other personnel is close to 20,000. To be honest, such a scale is obviously already capable of fighting, but I don’t know why the orders given to them by the empire are to follow and grab things, and they are not asked to help fight the war at all.

Of course, when they came, they were prepared according to the standards to participate in the battle. Although the empire didn't ask them to fight, they also had to protect themselves. Villaverde communicated with the heads of several other mercenary regiments, and found that everyone had similar ideas.

Everyone is full of distrust for this steel-skeleton army that suddenly appeared. Does it mean that this army is very strong? But if they can't beat it, they will be implicated.

So from the very beginning, the heads of these mercenary regiments met in private and discussed how to deal with it. The empire also said that they should not participate in the battle, so they will look at the situation. In case there is a sign that they cannot be defeated, they will prepare to retreat in advance, or they can help out depending on the situation. After all, if they can save the empire's troops, the empire will definitely not treat them badly.

The discussions with several mercenary groups were satisfactory, but there was no such thing as a thorn in the side who deliberately made trouble for their Gray Pigeon mercenary group. I heard that the original mercenary group didn't get a quota this time, and didn't join the army at all. After all, in the previous mercenary group, he was responsible for managing the relationship, and the relationship was all his. Legion's.

Although it was said that they wanted to make them look good, but now that they are all going out with the team, it is obvious that they will not be able to meet them for the time being. When they go back this time, their names will be printed out.

The current situation makes Villaverde quite satisfied. However, after following for a few days, he began to gradually realize that there was something wrong with the Steel-Bone Army troops ahead.

Because the empire didn't let them participate in the battle from the beginning, although they went out with the army, they didn't act with the army. Because these mercenary regiments were not combat troops, they didn't live in the barracks at all, but followed far behind the Cyborg Army, and the order was just to let them follow.

These mercenary regiments obviously knew the rules. It was obviously impossible for them not to participate in the battle to know the military plan, and it was impossible for them to actively listen to it. So they can't inquire about where the troops are going and how they are going to fight. The higher-ups just let them follow, right?

However, even though he only followed from a distance, Villaverde still noticed various things wrong with this new army.

First of all, the marching speed of this army is too fast. Of course, this does not refer to the opponent's running speed, but the overall marching speed. The order was just for them to follow, and when Villaverde received the order before, he didn't expect that it would be so difficult to follow.

In the past few days, they have been exhausted just trying to keep up with the advancing speed of the troops in front every day. After the mercenaries in the regiment set up camp every day, most of them fell asleep on the ground, feeling like they had gone through a super hasty march. But the actual movement speed is not that fast, it's all about endurance.

After a few days of observation, Villaverde was surprised to find that the troop in front marched almost the same distance every day. It felt like he had gone through some precise calculations, but of course he knew such precise calculations when he led troops. Distance is impossible.

In short, it looks like it is within a reasonable range, but it always feels weird.

What he didn't know was that the march of the Iron-Bone Army in front had really been calculated precisely, and the upper limit of this calculation was still related to them. Asuna adjusted the marching distance according to the maximum distance they could move each day, and gave them enough rest time. If you don't count them, the Steel Skeleton Army can move forward at a constant speed 24 hours a day.

But there is no way, who asked Linton to grab it?

Linton obviously didn't just want to defeat the opponent, who would fight a battle that was not beneficial in his opinion. Although the empire has more money now, who would hate more? Besides, it’s not that Asuna you said you are short of all kinds of ores. If you let Linton buy it, you might as well kill him, and you’ll be done after grabbing it.

Of course, soldiers are expensive, and what Linton meant was that the robot went out to kill people, and a group of people followed to snatch the things back. So he directly found a group of mercenaries. Anyway, in Linton's eyes, these mercenaries Soldiers have no fighting power, so they can still rob.

Secondly, what Villaverde felt strange was the logistical situation of the troops ahead. Yes, they followed behind this army, and they could obviously see how this army was replenished.

What is particularly exaggerated is that at night, there is a fire on their side, and the mercenaries naturally light their own fires and cook for themselves. As for the troops ahead, it was almost dark, and he couldn't even find the location of the troops camp ahead.

Doesn't the line in front of you cook without a fire? It's true that it's okay to eat dry food directly, but the question is, isn't that what you do when you are marching secretly? How can there be freshly made dry food?

Are the troops ahead marching in secret? Probably not, otherwise, shouldn't the higher-ups inform them to cooperate?

What's even more strange is that they have never seen the exact location of the camp of the troops in front of them from the beginning to the end. In short, there are all kinds of indescribable weirdness.

Fortunately, Villaverde's curiosity is not that strong. If he really sends someone to take a look, he will see a group of people standing in the field in the middle of the night. It's scary.

Fortunately, only a few days. Although Villaverde and many members of the mercenary group discovered all kinds of weird things, they didn't have time to see anything. After all...they were too tired every day and didn't have the energy to do it.

Just when they felt that they could hardly bear the intensity of the march, they arrived at their destination. Unknowingly, they have come to the territory of the Kanger thinking empire.

Kanger's thinking empire is the first country announced by Linton. The opponent originally wanted to take the initiative to provoke, but Linton announced it first.

Linton originally wanted to cut off the other party's ambassador directly and send the head back to show his determination. But then Xuan was so happy that he forgot about it.

Maslop, the ambassador of Kang Ersi Empire, was threatened by Linton and fled back to his own empire overnight, and quickly told their emperor Vader III about it. Vader III was stunned at the time, shouldn't they threaten the Yin Lan Holy Empire to go to war? Why did the Yin Lan Holy Empire suddenly declare war on them?

Of course, Vader III also knew that Linton announced the affairs of more than 20 countries in one breath. Where did the Yinlan Holy Empire come from? He himself thinks that he is a crazy person, but compared with the emperor of the Yin Lan Holy Empire, he is simply a good baby. Is there anyone else who can play like this?

Vader III was so angry that he exploded after being dazzled. You said that even if the other party declared them alone, he still wasn't that angry. Now that the other party announced more than 20 people in one breath, it doesn't feel like they are paying attention to them at all. Of course, there is nothing to say. If Vader III was not crazy, he would not have decided to provoke the Yin Lan Holy Empire. Now that the opponent is bullying them, no matter how much they didn't want to start a war before, now there is nothing to say, just start the fight.

So Vader III began to gather troops, and at the same time asked people to contact the countries that had supported them before. Anyway, everyone agreed to fight together before, and now it has been announced, so everyone happened to send troops together. One is that they can't beat it, but with the combined forces of several of their countries, can they be afraid that Yin Lan's Holy Empire will fail?

But soon, something happened that made him even more unexpected. This side is still calling for troops to contact friendly troops, but it turns out that the troops of the Yinlan Holy Empire have arrived in their territory, and the city of Torost in the south has been besieged.

"They still dare to take the initiative to call here?" Vader III was shocked and angry, to the extent that it really went to his head to pull SHI.
