Chapter 80 The convoy was attacked

Arthur's six men and the cavalry battalion rushed eastward. Their destination was Twilight City, the largest city on the northwest border of the human race.

The Cavalry Battalion will join the convoy that transported supplies to the legion in Twilight City and return to the Frost Thunder Legion's base together. Usually, the escort force of the transport convoy is enough to protect the convoy from being safely sent to it. Arthur and his cavalry battalion temporarily increased due to the temporary escort force after the last transport convoy was robbed.

The military supply mechanism of the Isaac Kingdom is very different from other human countries. All military supplies are not uniformly distributed to the kingdom. Instead, the kingdom pays half of the military expenses according to the scale of a 100,000-man legion, and then the major legions use military expenses to purchase food, weapons, equipment and other materials from several large commercial banks in the kingdom.

As for the other half of the military expenditure, several grand dukes spent on their own territory income. Therefore, the four field legions except the Wind and Snow Legion are almost equivalent to the private armies of the Grand Dukes, while the Wind and Snow Legion and the Imperial Guard Legion are private armies of the royal family.

This is the ruling model of the Belland continent, where kings and nobles jointly rule the country. The king canonized part of the territory to the nobles. The nobles must bear the responsibility of defending the kingdom and the king while enjoying territorial benefits.

After the legion purchased supplies from the business bank, the legion would transport the supplies to a relatively safe city behind the legion. As for the last relatively dangerous journey, the legion would send troops to transport them.

The last time the Wind and Snow Legion was robbed was the last time that it happened on the next transportation route.

As we walked along the way, the Cavalry Battalion took a whole day to reach Twilight City, three hundred miles away.

The transport convoy had already made a handover with the business bank. If it weren't for the cavalry battalion, he would have been on the road. Arthur and his team stayed in Twilight for one night, and then set off with the transport convoy the next day.

The craftsman leaving the city lined up in a long queue, with a total of 100 huge trucks pulled by musk oxen. The trucks were loaded with the daily food and meat consumed by the legion, as well as some standard military equipment.

A legion with a scale of 100,000 people consumes nearly 100 tons of grain and forty or fifty tons of meat every day, and the food transported by this convoy is barely enough to maintain the legion's consumption for a week.

It is conceivable to maintain such a huge amount of military capital. The military supply department of any army is a fat department. If you are interested in catching some flaws, you will be greedy for countless money.

The escort of this transport convoy was originally a 500 soldiers from a reinforced battalion of the Military Forces Department. Now, with the additional cavalry battalion sent by Sino, the escort force reached 800.

With such a large scale, unless you encounter a regular orc army, ordinary human bandits and orc hunting teams will go around when they meet. However, it is difficult for the regular orc army to bypass the scouts of the Frost Thunder Legion to run to the rear to rob the troops' transport convoy, which aroused Xino's suspicion of the last robbery incident.

After pulling the goods, the musk ox traveled slowly, and the cavalry battalion could only be scattered on both sides of the transport convoy and walked slowly. It would probably take three times the time to go back in a day.

Arthur and his friends were unable to do anything out of line among the cavalry, so they had to move slowly with the troops.

There were no accidents throughout the day, and the transport team stopped to rest until midnight. At this speed, they could successfully arrive at the legion's headquarters around dusk tomorrow.

There were no villages and towns where the transport team stopped to rest. The convoy circled all the trucks into a large circle and besieged the temporary camp. Half of the area in the inner circle camp was marked for musk oxen and cavalry wildebeests, and the rest was the camp where the coachman and human soldiers slept.

The person in charge of the guard this time was a battalion commander of the Military Forces Department. I don’t know how many trips I took to the road. I set up camps, burying pots and cooking were arranged very skillfully. The soldiers in the guard camp were divided into three shifts to be responsible for the guard and vigil tonight.

The soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion were also divided into three squads to cooperate with the soldiers of the escort battalion on duty, and Arthur and others were divided into various squads.

"Everyone is awake. If someone targets the transportation team, he will definitely take action tonight." Arthur reminded several partners again.

In fact, the only ones who really need his advice here are Joan and Moral, two unparalleled guys.

Arthur and Alia happened to be on duty in the first shift. In order not to attract attention, Alia took her blonde hair and received it into her helmet, and she deliberately touched two black oil paints on her face, which looked very funny.

Arthur couldn't help but sweep his eyes to Arya, and then forced himself to not let him laugh. Arya was so angry that she bulged her face, and her slightly baby fat little face looked even more cute because it was bulging.

For the first time, Arthur had the desire to go over and pinch it with his hands.

When desire continues to expand and is almost uncontrollable, the sudden movement in the darkness instantly extinguishes desire.

Not only Arthur, but also the soldiers patrolling the outside world noticed the movement, "Who? Stand there and don't move."

The answer to him was a cold arrow shot out from the darkness, and the soldier fell to the ground.

Swift black shadows rushed out of the darkness, shooting arrows at the human camp. The soldiers in the outermost guard camp were flooded by arrow rain in a blink of an eye.

Alia raised her hand and saw a ball of light.

But before she could throw it out, Arthur grabbed her wrist and threw her to the ground and pressed her under her.

Alia, who blushed, was about to struggle when Arthur's whisper came from her ear, "Don't rush to do it, check the situation first."

The screams of the outer soldiers before their death had already awakened all the Frost Thunder Legion soldiers in the camp, and they all picked up the weapons at their hands and rushed to the outside of the camp.

With the firelight raised in the camp, the raided enemy had already revealed their true appearance. These were orcs with a slightly taller figure than the human warriors, with long legs and long arms. Their faces looked similar to those of the human race, except that their faces were covered with short black hair and their pupils were blood-red.

Arthur couldn't help but let out a low cry from the Demon Ape Clan.

The number of orcs in the Demon Ape Clan is very small, even smaller than that of the Lions. They are one of the most intelligent races among the orcs, and are a race that combines wisdom and force. They are hunters among the orcs, skilled in traps and hunting. The old demon Yuan, among the orc heroes, comes from the Demon Ape Clan.

Every Demon Ape Warrior is an excellent hunter and warrior. Each of them has a hunting bow and moves quickly, running and shooting. The soldiers in the escort camp in the camp were all shot and fell to the ground.

There were less than 200 demon ape warriors rushing out, but they suppressed the guards in the camp so that they could not raise their heads and could only hide their bodies through the truck.

"Cabinets get on their horses, rush out with me to kill them!" The escort cavalry accompanied by the battalion commander ran to their wildebeests one after another.

The two trucks moved away, and a wide gap appeared in the camp. The cavalry battalion rushed out of the camp and waved its long machete toward the demon ape warriors.

The cavalry is the nemesis of the light infantry. When the cavalry rushed out, the demon ape warrior immediately began to run back, and turned around to shoot arrows while running. From time to time, cavalry fell from horseback.

Just as the Frost Thunder Cavalry rushed behind the Demon Ape Warriors and raised their swords to harvest their lives, orc cavalry suddenly rushed out of the darkness.

These orc cavalrymen appeared in the dark one second before they appeared in the next second, and rushed into the human cavalry formation the next second, and a claw-like scimitar quickly passed through the waist and abdomen of the human knights.
