Chapter 197
There was going to be an expedition, and the time was tight, so Zhang Qiang had no time to go back to the manor to explain things.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, there is no war between the Kingdom of Kugit and the Kingdom of Swadia recently, so I don't have to worry about the army of the lord of the Kingdom of Kugit coming to ransack the village and attack his manor.

Back at the hotel where he was staying, that guy Rolf was drinking in the outer corridor on the second floor of the hotel, lying on the railing and looking at Zhang Qiang with a playful expression.

Zhang Qiang was a little annoyed, this guy was too disrespectful to his boss.

Even if he was a mercenary, he couldn't look at himself with such eyes.

But Zhang Qiang could only keep his anger in his heart. He had the strength of the first level, and Rolf had the strength of the third level. No, he exploded, but he could reach the fourth level, or even the fifth level. He was no match at all.

Forget it, they are mercenaries anyway, maybe one day I won't need them.

There is no need to argue with these people, I still have to cultivate soldiers who are loyal to me, high-level soldiers.

Going up the stairs, I called the guys from the hotel, all of whom were combat-ready mercenaries in the castle, ordered some food and wine, and started eating.

I didn't enjoy eating in the castle, and of course I had to eat as much as I spent my own money at this time.

After eating and resting, but before Zhang Qiang rested, he heard a noise outside.

Zhang Qiang walked out with his clothes on. There was already a sea of ​​soldiers downstairs. No, there were not many soldiers. There were many militiamen, farmers, and businessmen accompanying the army. When an army goes out, logistical support is very important, even if it is a hundred soldiers. , Also need two or three hundred farmers, militiamen, and merchants to ensure supplies.

Those merchants are even more, every time after a war, they will buy the trophies seized by the soldiers from the battlefield, and provide various services to the soldiers who have fought the war, such as allowing them to eliminate post-war tension and fear.

A slender, tall guy wrapped in armor shouted to Zhang Qiang upstairs: "Knight Zhang Qiang, call your soldiers and go out with us."

Zhang Qiang frowned, isn't this the Falcao close knight next to Earl Plais?

Is he leading this expedition?

However, his status and status are obviously much higher than that of an ordinary knight like you, at least his military rank is higher.

Zhang Qiang could only stand up to rectify the troops and follow him out of Fort Lundia.

The troops walked all day, from night to night, and camped on a high ground.

Zhang Qiang took Rolf to inspect his camp.

Rolf glanced disdainfully at the camps where the knights had set up, "If the enemy attacks here, we will all be killed."

"Why?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Rolf pointed to the camp and said, "Look, it's chaotic and disorderly, setting up camps separately to deal with the attacks of some lawbreakers, this may be enough, but for a lord's army that comes prepared, it is likely to be attacked by others." We can't do anything but run for our lives, and if there are too many cavalry, we can't even run for our lives."

Zhang Qiang never thought about it when he was playing a stand-alone game. It was clicking the mouse. Anyway, he didn’t die by himself, at most he lost some soldiers. Even if he was captured, he would be released in a few days. But actually stand here.

And the game is a death game, if you are killed, there is a high chance that you will be killed, and the luxury helmet can only guarantee you a 50.00% chance of not dying.

The question arises, how should I deal with it?

At this time, a drunk and aggressive knight happened to pass by, glanced at Zhang Qiang, pointed at Zhang Qiang and said, "I know you."

Zhang Qiang smiled, but did not answer.

Of course I recognized it. In the hall of the castle of Lundia Castle, I was the only one out there. I was called to the Earl of Plais for questioning and eating. They were sitting on the long table in the hall far away, drinking and eating meat.

It seems that this guy is probably a veteran, a knight promoted by ordinary civilians, not those noble knights.

The knights brought by Falcao's close knights this time are ordinary knights promoted from civilians or the army.

Those gilded noble knights are all around Earl Plais, there is no need for them to go out alone.

This is also Calradia's protection for some nobles. Those nobles are not inferior in terms of combat power. A war can play the role of the mainstay, and they will sacrifice themselves for the lord in critical moments, but they usually follow by the lord's side.

Never sent out to war.

Those who were sent out to fight were ordinary knights like Zhang Qiang who had risen from common people and had noble status, but the knights were also divided into ranks and pros and cons.

Earl noble knights are superior in the earl's army, and king knights are even more noble. Generally, they are not needed to go out, and they follow the king's side when they go out.

"But you are not welcome by the Earl. He pushed you to the opposite of us knights and isolated you. I don't like to see you." The knight laughed.

Zhang Qiang was still speechless.

The knight turned to Rolf again and said, "This is not a war zone yet, so you don't have to worry, the Kujit Kingdom is still at peace with us, they won't sneak attack us, and other kingdoms will sneak attack us too." It must be cavalry. Vikia's cavalry is not large enough to attack a small army like ours. Their cuirassiers all stay by the lord's side. They are the decisive force on the battlefield and will not attack easily. .”

Zhang Qiang felt that this guy's analysis made sense.

Rolf laughed and said, "How can you be so sure that those Vekia lords won't sneak attack us? Once the war breaks out, the lords on both sides may not necessarily act together, and some self-righteous lords will break into the enemy's territory and loot the enemy's country. villages, weakening the enemy's war potential, and even sneak attacking castles with few defenders. Of course, when they encounter a small army without a lord like ours, they will eat it up, adding to their personal reputation and military exploits. An honor."

The knight said: "Then you don't need to worry about it. This place is far away from the Kingdom of Vikia. Those lords who dare to go deep into this place to sneak attack are looking for death. Besides, a large part of the lord's army in Vikia is infantry. If they are killed by us The cavalry found out, it is courting death."

Zhang Qiang felt that this guy's analysis made sense.

Through the words of Falcao and some knights, he already knew their current location, near the village of Amir, hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield of Dremag Castle, and Dremag Castle is still the Kingdom of Swadia The military fortress defending the Kingdom of Wikia has more troops than Fort Lundia. Wikia has not launched a war against the Kingdom of Swadia for nearly half a year.

After the end of the last war, the Armistice Agreement came into effect, bringing three months of peace to the Kingdom of Swadia. After the armistice agreement expired, King Harlaus had just gained the upper hand in the war against Rhodok and the Nord Kingdom. He was fighting vigorously with Kujit, and incidentally, he was provoked near Zhiwadin. King Yaloger of Vikia did not respond to Harlaus' provocation, which greatly damaged his prestige among the nobles of the Vikia Kingdom. , Time has passed for another three months, and there has been no war for more than half a year.

Just when the Kingdom of Swadia ended its war against the Kingdom of Kugit, recaptured Fort Lundia and was forced to withdraw from the already occupied city of Halma, King Jaloger of Vikia suddenly attacked Swadia. The border military fortress Tilburg of the Kingdom of Dia launched an attack, and the war between the two countries resumed.

This time they responded to the call of Marshal Earl Crags to participate in the expedition to the Kingdom of Vikia.

The fief of Earl Crags is facing the Kingdom of Rhodoks. He has just finished a round of attacks on the Kingdom of Rhodoks and is about to lead the army to move east from the border of the Kingdom of Rhodoks. At this time, he has just Walking to the city of Deherim, the army led by Falcao was going to join Dekiosberg this time.

It was like drawing an arc on the map from Fort Lunvadia to Fort Dechios, and it was a detour instead of going directly to the war zone, so Zhang Qiang also judged that there would be no danger.

But Zhang Qiang will not be so ignorant as to believe his own judgment instead of Rolf. After all, he has traveled all over the continent of Calradia, and even experienced countless battles from Nordland outside the mainland. A veteran fighting in a sea of ​​blood, his war intuition should be closer to the truth than his own judgment.

However, this knight's analysis is also unreasonable. He is also a knight who was promoted from a veteran, and he also came up through military exploits.

"This knight's analysis is very reasonable. I don't think the matter is that dangerous," Zhang Qiang saw a smug smile on the knight's face.

Rolf looked lonely, like you don't believe me.

Zhang Qiang said to Rolf again: "But your analysis is not unreasonable. As a soldier, I think we should strengthen our defense."

Rolf smiled and said nothing, but his expression told Zhang Qiang that he obviously accepted Zhang Qiang's praise.

"Then how should we deal with it?" Zhang Qiang asked.

The knight said: "Since what your subordinates said is also reasonable, then when I go back, I will gather my soldiers and ask them to strengthen their defenses."

Rolf said: "Why don't your battalion commander move to our camp, and everyone cooperates and supports each other."

Zhang Qiang clapped his hands and said, "Yes, one more person, one more strength."

The knight nodded and said: "That's right, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

Zhang Qiang looked around, lit bonfires all around to make the night not so dark, then pointed to an oak forest and said: "Let's move the camp to that slope together, the terrain is higher, covered by the forest, the enemy's cavalry can't charge up , can just play the role of our infantry."

Rolf clapped his hands and said, "Good idea."

The knight said: "High."
