Chapter 36: All dogs know that
mobilizing the army is a very troublesome thing.
The trouble lies in logistics.
Hardy calculated carefully that an army of two hundred people would require a logistics force of at least fifty people to ensure the normal transportation of food.
Moreover, all clothing, armor and weapons need to be inspected beforehand.
There are not many talents in the Hardy family now, so most of these things have to be done by oneself, which is very cumbersome.
Fortunately, the number of troops is not large, otherwise Hardy may not be able to do this well even if he is busy for two months.
However, when he was doing these things, he promoted a young man named Rogge who looked very smart among the soldiers to learn from him. Therefore, by the time the army could officially set off, this man could already become a qualified logistics officer.
Roger is a child of a sharecropper family and has been with the Hardy family for at least five generations, so his loyalty should be guaranteed.
Moreover, he is very serious and enthusiastic in his work. He will try his best to complete the orders given by Hardy.
With his help, Hardy felt much more relaxed.
On the day of the appointment, Hadi led more than two hundred soldiers to the city gate, where a carriage was already waiting.
Beside the carriage, there were more than a dozen priests.
Six of them were wearing armor, and the rest were white-robed priests.
The Light Cult has its own complete tactical system.
Those who wear armor are combat priests, and those who wear robes are generally support priests.
On top of these two, there are paladins, which are very outrageous professions that require very high qualifications. Depending on the era, there are usually between 6 and 12 people.
He is also the most powerful professional after the Pope.
The two hundred soldiers looked different, but they were all wearing leather armor, leather helmets, holding brand-new iron weapons, and they were still quite intimidating when they advanced in relatively orderly steps.
If Hardy's blacksmith shop hadn't sent them out, there would have been a lot of armor to form an elite squad. But if the blacksmith shop hadn't sent them out, Hardy probably wouldn't have been able to survive now.
The wall fell and everyone pushed it!
Old Hardy's death has attracted countless jackals to shine with greedy green light in the darkness.
His identity as a 'knight' at the beginning and his current identity as a 'baron' had helped him avoid many troubles invisibly.
It can be said that even if the current Hardy comes through, if the blacksmith shop is not sent out, it will definitely take the hard mode route.
Send the blacksmith out and take the 'easy' mode route.
Hardy raised his hand to signal the soldiers to rest on the spot, and then he rode forward.
When approaching the black carriage, the curtains of the window were opened, and Sissi's extremely mature and beautiful face emerged: "Hardy, you are very punctual, when can we set off?"
Hardy's eyes swept over the ten people. Several priests.
Among them was a white-robed priest who caught his attention.
The other person is very young, with brown hair and brown eyes, but handsome, almost as good as Hardy.
Hardy's eyes paused on this person for a while, then returned to Sissi's face, and asked with a smile: "Aunt Sissi, won't Uncle Abelon go to the royal city with you?"
Sissi's face flashed for a moment. A disappointed expression flashed across his face, and then he chuckled and said, "He still has a lot of things to deal with here. Besides, it's not good for him, as a bishop, to rashly get involved in the affairs of the Jeanna family!"
It seemed to make sense.
But Hardy glanced at the dozen or so priests around him, and he laughed in his heart.
These priests are obviously escorts. Anyone who is not blind can see that they are all elites of the Temple of Light.
Isn’t it good to mix it in?
Lying to children!
Although he didn't know why, Abelon didn't follow his wife, but he didn't believe that the Light Cult would not take advantage of this royal infighting to do something.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Hardy.
His only goal in going to the royal city was to find out who killed his 'father' and wanted to snatch the family heirloom from him.
Hardy looked up at the sky and said, "Let's go then. I will first send a scout team to explore the road ahead. Aunt Sissi and your carriage should walk among the soldiers. It will be safer this way." "
Okay. You're sorry." Sissi was very satisfied with this arrangement.
At this time, the priests came over and they knew they would be leaving soon. Among them, the handsome young man walked the fastest and seemed to reach the carriage in a few steps.
Hardy glanced over and asked: "Aunt Sissi, why don't you introduce me?"
"This is Occam, the most outstanding child among all the students in Abelon."
Occam's face was filled with emotion when he heard this. Happy, he nodded to Hardy.
"This is Baron Hardy." Sissi also introduced to the young priest: "He is Karina's best friend." "
Oh, that Bai who is crazy about Miss Karina..."
The young man shut up suddenly. Sorry, so embarrassed.
Hardy shrugged indifferently: "You are an idiot who is crazy about pursuing Karina. There is nothing bad to say. I also know what my reputation is."
He had an indifferent attitude, but Sissi and the young priest were both embarrassed. .
The atmosphere suddenly seemed not so good.
Hardy didn't pay much attention. He waved towards his army, and a group of twelve light cavalry set off first.
This is Hardy's only cavalry!
Also a scout team.
With the current financial strength of his family, he can only raise so many cavalry.
As for the heavy cavalry, don't even think about it.
Even the Virginia lord's heavy cavalry only numbered a hundred or so.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Hardy said: "It's time to set off."
A hundred soldiers went first, followed by Sissi's carriage, priests, and logistics, and finally nearly a hundred elite soldiers of the mountain people. The Queen.
For a team, the most important thing is the coach and the equipment.
If these two things are gone, the team will disperse.
The army was naturally moving at a slower pace, but Sissi didn't care. As a woman, she was pursuing a sense of security.
During the march, Hardy sat on the horse the entire time.
Thanks to the benefits of the 'Nightmare Knight' profession, his riding skills are quite good and stable.
Sissi hid in the carriage and seemed a little sleepy.
Ockham, on the other hand, would always find some excuse to talk to Sissy outside the carriage window.
One moment he asked Sissi if she was tired, and the other moment she asked if she was thirsty.
Dogs can understand what a person is thinking.
But Hardy did not underestimate or despise the other party.
Sissi is indeed beautiful, and now that her husband is not around, a normal man would have normal thoughts when he sees Qian Qi.
As long as he doesn't do something disgusting and perverted, no one can care about him.
France's world is not peaceful. As long as he leaves the city, there are not only beasts and monsters outside, but also many bandits and robbers wandering around.
very dangerous.
But no fool would be foolish enough to rob an army.
All beasts know this.
The first day of the military trip went smoothly and there were no problems.
The scouts found a flat place with clean water ahead, and the army was stationed there.
The soldiers first built simple defenses, and then began to bury pots and make rice.
After finishing the meal, the soldiers in charge of logistics set up a camping tent for Hadi to rest.
As a noble and a coach, this is the treatment he deserves.
But then, he found Sissi standing awkwardly in front of him, as if she had something to say.
