Chapter 362 Stag Rider and Boar Rider

After entering the village, Karin pulled the giant bear to the butcher in the village.

After paying the butcher, he began to skin and cut up the giant beast.

The butcher was very efficient. When Karin came again in the afternoon, he and several apprentices had already skinned the bear.

Valuable internal organs such as bear bile were specially separated for Karin, while the useless offal were piled together.

Then there is the delicacy of bear paw.

Karin didn't care about the bloodiness in the butcher's shop. She sorted the cut meat, hired a few workers, and gave it as gifts in the Xinyueling village.

But we have to give Bishop Kahn a break, as he has been too weak recently.

Rand feels that he has a lot of lovers, and he wonders if he needs to replenish them.

I guess it's not necessary. After all, he is a messenger of the Goddess of Plenty sect, and he probably has some magical maintenance techniques.

Karin was just giving gifts to people she knew as usual.

The bear gall was left to Taran.

When walking on the road of Xinyueling.

Karin could actually already sense the slightly tense atmosphere.

Rand has already issued a war warning, and even in places like Crescent Territory, which is not considered a frontline, there is already a war atmosphere.

On the side of the road, Karin saw the groom's child again.

The groom's children and a group of young men of similar age stood in line under the command of a one-eyed young man.

Karin stopped and watched with her perception.

"Study hard and I'll give you food later." The one-eyed young man did not have much of the aura of an instructor.

But young people who have just reached adulthood are still studying very seriously.

The training didn't take long.

Training is a very physically demanding task, and further training will only be carried out after they are selected as soldiers.

Also, these young people have to help out at home, so it’s not suitable for them to exercise for a long time.

The one-eyed young instructor distributed pancakes to everyone.

Now we are just laying some foundation.

By the way, this is also the solution that Rand came up with - to provide more nutrition to growing young people.

It’s not free, but you will get it if you listen carefully and practice.

After the training, Karin could still hear the conversations of these young adults.

The groom's child said that he could become Rand's warrior.

Then their companions became dissatisfied.

Start the competition.

The one-eyed instructor was watching there.

Ordinary armies don’t really need soldiers with strong personal fighting skills, but the one-eyed instructor thinks that there might be one or two professionals with good strength among them?

Becoming an adventurer or becoming a soldier in Rand's service is the same.

The one-eyed instructor kept an eye on them to prevent any accidents.

Karin, who was watching from a distance with her perception ability, was also ready to take action at any time to avoid any accidents.

Fortunately, these young people are still very careful about their manners and their relationships with each other seem to be good.

There won’t be something like: “So-and-so, you are a groom’s child, you will never be able to become a knight…”

Such provocative remarks did not appear.

One is that there are indeed no nobles here, and the other is that the relationship between everyone seems to be really good.

At this time the one-eyed instructor spoke up.

"Are you so eager to join Lord Rand's army?"

The young men all nodded.

"Tell me your reason." The one-eyed instructor said with a smile.

The one-eyed instructor was also a soldier following Rand. He had followed Serai to block Pero's army on the defense line.

They crawled out of the pile of dead bodies, and Rand assigned them some easy jobs.

The one-eyed instructor admired Rand very much and loved to hear people praising him.

These young people began to give all kinds of reasons.

Some said they wanted to gain glory and merit, while others just wanted to subsidize their families.

Others said they wanted to serve Rand.

Some of their names were changed after Rand sent missionaries.

Before, some of them had only very vulgar names or no names at all.

The hard life they had lived before Rand came to rule the Crescent Territory was still fresh in their memory.

Now, although there hasn't been much improvement, at least we won't starve or freeze to death.

I heard that there are more benefits after becoming a soldier.

And they knew very well that fighting for Rand was fighting for their own lives.

The one-eyed instructor felt proud to see them talking about their own ideas and bragging about Rand's achievements.

Karin couldn't stand it anymore, so she pouted and walked away.

Karin acknowledged that Rand's governance was good.

She also enjoyed life under Rand's rule.

Karin didn't want a peaceful and vibrant place like the Crescent Village to be destroyed.

Karin decided to return home. The reason for the rampage of the wild beasts, demons and monsters has not been found out yet.

However, the "Thunder" Centaur patrol formed by Rand is very efficient.

Many troubles were solved in time, and only troublesome creatures like giant bears required Karin's deployment.

But in fact, there was no need for Karin. Karin felt that the centaurs could kill the giant bear by slowly hunting it down. There might be sacrifices, but winning would not be difficult.

The villagers in the northern lands are relatively tough and are unlikely to cause trouble in the short term.

Karin decided to go back and check on Rand's condition. The war was about to start, and Rand's safety had to be taken care of. After all, her eyes still needed Rand's treatment.

Also, if Rand died, the cooperation between the "orthodox" Torch Church and the Cult of the Goddess of Plenty might fail.

Now the Novice Faction of the Torch Church, led by Karin, has reached a critical period of changing its course, and Rand cannot afford to get into trouble.

…

At this time, Rand was working with the Stag Rider, the Boar Rider, and the spellcasters of the Torch Church.

As Rand's staunch allies, the Buck Family and the Black and Brown Family provided Rand with a large number of troops.

Only a few soldiers were left to maintain the security of the territory, and the rest were basically pulled over to help Rand.

Including the characteristic cavalry of these two families.

Stag riders ride horses normally, but their helmets have antlers, which makes them look very conspicuous.

The boar rider of the black and brown family rides a wild boar.

Wild boars have short legs but look very ferocious. They are not suitable for long-distance raids, but are probably better than ordinary knights in short-term combat.

Boar Knights usually maintain law and order in the Black and Brown Marquisate, but now it is rare that they are called out to fight.

Rand raised the flag, made various gestures, and then said: "This is advance, this is wait, this is retreat."

Rand did not intend to train these guest troops in any formations; it would be enough for them to understand how to advance and retreat.

For the rest, just kill the enemies.

Rand's command was mostly by shouting.

He has a loud voice.

But in large-scale combat, command flags must be used.

The command flag training is also quite troublesome. It would be great if the technology of the vibration communication device could be broken through someday.

By sending vibration messages to the legion commanders below, the command efficiency will be higher.

The Stag Knights and Boar Knights said they understood.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Rand tried his command and found that both the Stag Rider and the Boar Rider could advance and retreat in a measured way.

It is worthy of being a signature unit. It is not as good as super units like the White King's Guards, but its level is pretty good.

"Then let's go. The Kingdom of Bolen should be able to set out at any time." Rand ordered.

Next we just need to do some more adjustments on the way to the border.

As Rand gave the order, the crow that was originally standing on Rand's shoulder took off into the sky.

Rand's perspective also rose accordingly.

Crows cannot provide a full view of the map, nor can they notice every detail. Otherwise, when the Takagi Kingdom counterattacked, the harpies, which are also flying units, could have suppressed Rand's tactics.

However, in reality, Rand's pulling tactics were successful.

But then again, after all, it is a high-altitude perspective, so there will always be a visual advantage.

Rand set out for the border of the Kingdom of Bolen.

The troops from the Frost Moon Kingdom to support Rand also arrived.

But most of them were conscripted soldiers.

Rand had ordered the levies to be disbanded.

Only the knights are left, so we can probably put together a larger order of knights.

The nobles of the country assured Rand that if the war escalated, they would personally lead the army to participate in the war, but if it did not escalate, this would be the only support they had for the army.

In fact, a large portion of these high-quality knights were provided by the Duke of Thorns.

The Duke of Thorn has made up his mind to provide strong support to Rand.

Overall it's a good help.

At the same time, Rand also hired many mercenaries.

Mercenaries are much stronger than ordinary conscripts. Although it is difficult to command a large number of mercenaries, they are still better than ordinary conscripts.

Rand's military strength has now expanded greatly.

There were 80 magic steel plate armor knights, two teams of White King's guards, and two teams of Torch Church Paladins.

Adding up, there are 224 super elite heavy cavalrymen.

There is a team among the White King's personal guards that are not very skilled, but they are still stronger than ordinary cavalry.

Including the knights and barons recruited and enfeoffed by Rand.

It can probably gather the strength of a standard knight group of the Frost Moon Kingdom, which is 300 people.

This is already a very considerable force.

In addition, Rand's infantry strength is far beyond the imagination of the nobles in this world. At least an ordinary earl would not be a match for Rand.

At present, Rand cannot know much about the military deployment of the Kingdom of Boren, but the strength of the first wave of attacks should not be much larger than that of Rand's men.

…

In Crescent Moon Harbor.

Several scouts were fleeing for their lives.

They gasped heavily and kept looking back.

They were sweating profusely from fear and exhaustion.

There is death chasing them.

Soon there was the sound of the mechanism firing.

A scout who was running wildly fell to the ground immediately.

"Damn it, we shouldn't have come here." A scout cursed in a low voice.

As elite scouts, they were responsible for investigating the environment of Crescent Moon Harbor.

To assist in subsequent landing operations.

But not long after they arrived, they encountered the god of death.

A female thief wearing a mask and dark purple leather armor.

There were several teams when they came, but now there are only these few left.

Companions fell one by one.

Elsa pulled a crossbow bolt from a fallen body.

Mounted on a small portable crossbow.

Pull the bowstring, aim, and pull the trigger.

Then another scout fell.

Elsa was better with daggers, but that was unnecessary against these men.

"If you say something, maybe you can get a chance to do labor reform." Elsa's pleasant voice reached the ears of the desperate scout.

This is the voice of death.

Upon hearing that there was an opportunity to surrender, several scouts immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

No one dared to escape anymore.

Elsa slowly stepped out from the shadows.

"Go ahead."

Elsa knew very well that these scouts wouldn't know much.

but.

Sending scouts to Crescent Moon Harbor was already a message.

This means that the Kingdom of Bolun does have ideas about Crescent Moon Harbor.

Elsa's next plan is to install more ballistae along the coastline.

Since Rand ordered the development of the longbow, there has been a small breakthrough in the technology of the crossbow, and now the power of the bed crossbow has increased.

Originally, in order to deal with the Naga, there were many crossbows on the coastline of Crescent Moon Port, and now it is a good opportunity to increase the number.

As long as the landing troops can be suppressed.
