Before ascending to God, be a good lord

On the night of September 9, in the forests of southern Iowa, two forest trails appeared side by side, and each trail could easily pass a horse-drawn cart.Above the trail, the canopy of trees staggered into a dome at a height of 24 meters, completely covering the carriage and camp below.

On both sides of the path, there are dark mushrooms on the ground, marking the boundary of the road. In addition, every 30 meters on the trees on both sides, there will be a tree that emits light, making the originally dark forest With full lighting.

When Rand was still enjoying the dinner in Brejak, his ancestor, the wood elf Halkala, led a dozen elf priests to perform magic in this forest.

Hakkala flew into the air, took out ambers with lighting runes from the space ring, inlaid them into the natural magic patterns in the trees, and guided the ambers to truly blend into the bark to achieve a luminous state. Effect.

The priests following the wood elves on the ground sang songs to let the glowing mushrooms on both sides of the path grow as soon as possible. Sha made the ground of the two trails flat and hardened to facilitate the passage of carriages.

On the south side of the road 500 meters behind the road repair team in Halkala, there is a complete camp that is already quite large. The surrounding trees, shrubs, and vine leaves of the camp are covered with 10-meter-high earthen walls, making the camp look more beautiful. It's like a clump of trees, not a camp.

The inner building of the earth wall looks like an earthen stilt house: the upper building is a large wooden house for short-term living; while the lower layer has only stone pillars without walls and is used to store goods and livestock.

This camp is the third camp built by Elsa, about 3 kilometers away from the Iowa Mountains, and it is numbered Xing 50 Camp.

Inside the camp, Nedland Wilson stood on the watchtower by the wall, watching in the direction of Hakkala, while listening to his subordinates report on the progress of the camp's construction.

"My lord, please have something to eat. These are freshly warmed buns with meat inside," a headman handed to the Netherlands a bun wrapped in reed leaves, which was still steaming.

Nedland took the bun, opened it, took a bite, and did not forget to tell his subordinates: "You guard the ancestor's side for me, and you must prevent monsters or orcs from colliding with the old man."

"Yes!"

Ned Land suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Also, is the magic-striped tiger back? Don't ask me where his little tiger is when the adults come back. I can't explain it."

The soldiers hurried back: "I've come back. Master Mowenhu caught several leopards and tigers and came back. He yelled at them when he came back. He didn't know what he was doing. He didn't even eat any food."

"Calling to the prey?" Nedland didn't understand what his subordinates said, and when he reached the first floor of the camp, he couldn't understand it even more.

Outside the courtyard of the camp, the huge magic-striped tiger is like an oversized carriage. There is a row of cats squatting in front of her, including leopard cats, leopards, jungle lions, and jungle cats. Some are junior monsters, and some are ordinary beasts. .

These cats, big or small, looked at the magic-striped tiger quietly, and the magic-striped tiger roared and gestured, and after a while, "meowed" twice, like an absurd drama.

"My lord, what are you doing?" Netherland asked, seeing that the tiger was almost unable to perform on his own.

The magic-striped tiger saw Nedland approaching, and waved its front paws to let the various cats in front of it disperse, and then complained: "Don't mention it, since I can speak human, I don't know how to talk to the younger generation." After talking with my son, I wanted to ask them if they saw my sister, but I couldn’t understand.”

Nedland smiled awkwardly, and said: "You are about to break through to a high-level monster, so you are naturally different from those wild cats, but you have been out for a day, and the young master left you and Mr. Lante, will you miss you?"

The little master in the mouth of the Netherlands is the little leopard that Rand delivered two days ago. This large baby has won all kinds of favors from Rand and the magic-striped tiger, and is honored by Rand's subordinates as "Little Leopard". master.

"I asked Hoyeva to take care of him. Orcs know how to serve livestock. I have only given birth to a litter since I was born, and then I focused on breaking through. I haven't served cubs in all these years."

Nedland didn't know why the magic-striped tiger started chatting about family matters, so he could only bite the bullet and continue chatting.

Although the magic-striped tiger is the lowest level among the four monsters in the territory, it is the oldest, a few years older than Totapala, and it had a litter of offspring before it became a monster.

Agni and Black Rabbit became monsters almost as soon as they were adults, and then met Rand, while Totapala was completely raised as the only high-level monster in the Frostwolf Forest, and had no experience in breeding offspring at all.

Compared with the three monsters, the magic-striped tiger can be said to have gone through a very complete phase of beast survival and monster survival. Knowing that it is not easy to survive in the wild, she is very satisfied with her current "court" life.

The paving of the woodland did not stop because of nightfall. In the middle of the night, Rand arrived, bringing Teresa and two stegosaurus over to change shifts.Halkala took her elf priests to the camp for seafood supper.

The Netherlands ran behind Rand to report on the day's situation. According to Rand's arrangement, he will lead a jaeger regiment composed of about 400 knights and cavalry from the second half of the month to harass and plunder in the enemy's rear .

In order to ensure the continuity and surprise of operations behind the enemy, Rand decided to build a road of about 200 kilometers in the forest as a logistics line, and set up 10 camps along the way for the rest and replenishment of the team.

Not only that, Rand equipped the Jaegers with 2000 auxiliary troops, and the auxiliary troops carried various types of carriages as a logistical support force for the cavalry.

"The three types of carriages in the territory are very useful. A cargo carriage and a logistics carriage can supply two teams of cavalry for a week. The observation carriage can provide a 3-kilometer field of vision. Today we tried it in the forest and gained a lot. Some prey."

The knight looked at Rand who was flying in mid-air and installed amber, and reported: "However, I don't think the giant crossbow is very useful. High-speed enemies cannot be hit, and slow-moving enemies can be killed by our cavalry rushing over. Instead of letting so many As the auxiliary army is used as a fighting force, it is better to let them do logistics."

As a knight who had traveled the entire dragon kingdom before, Netherlands knew the importance of logistics, especially when they fought deep behind enemy lines. Without reliable logistics support, they would be courting death.

After hunting with the auxiliary army today, Netherlands and his hunters probably understood the usage of several carriages. They praised the logistics carriage and scout carriage, but they didn't like the ballista.

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Lante knew that they were prejudiced against the participation of non-monsters in combat, and explained patiently: "You two cavalry teams must move around the three carriages. If the auxiliary troops have no lethality, you You have to spend precious combat power for defense, but if the auxiliary army has giant crossbows and spears, you can throw the entire team out."
