"Those damn guys, mean, shameless bastards!" Maude's face flushed with anger, and wisps of source power radiated from him, forming small vortices of source power in the space. After a while, he calmed down his anger and slowly withdrew the source power that came out of his body. He grabbed Mogu by the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, brother. I'll take revenge on you, and now, hey, go and rest first. ”

Moguanti took the baron's arm and said, "Don't despise them. Sur City has asked us for so many weapons and equipment, there must be some plan. ”

"Conspiracy? Could it be that with their little strength, they still dare to fight? Maude sneered: "Give me another month, when the army is finished resting and the recruits are finished with the initial run-in, I will let those hillbillies in Sur City know that they are powerful." ”

"Well, I trust your judgment. Now that I can't be the head of the Knights, you can have Reg take my place. Of the captains under me, Reg was the most qualified person to replace me. ”

"I know, I'll take care of this matter, don't worry."

Mogu then left.

When he was gone, Maud was the only one left in the study. The baron suddenly kicked the desk open, tearing it apart and slamming things to the ground. Maude gasped and said hatefully, "Damn, the one who gave me a large ransom in exchange for it turned out to be a waste!" ”

Mo Gu naturally didn't hear his words.

In order not to affect the morale of the army, Maud announced to the outside world that Mogu was temporarily recuperating from his injuries, so the position of head of the Knights was temporarily replaced by Reg. This decision is somewhat conjectural, but it has not caused an uproar. A week after Mogu's return, the recruits finished their training and were brought back to Storm City to be scattered and assigned to the two legions, where they began to train with the veterans in order to complete the run-in phase as best they could.

When Storm City is making a big splash, ready to fight back to redeem the shame of the defeat that he lost face before. In Sur City, preparations are also underway to attack Storm City.

Alan came to the barracks early in the morning, and on the training ground of the barracks, there were two groups of personnel training. In one group, Regers and Belmode served as instructors, selecting young people with good potential from the recruits to be intensively trained. The young warriors chosen were all skilled in speed and bursts, with Regers teaching them sword skills and Belmode teaching them stealth, tracking, and assassination.

This group is not very numerous, only ten people. They will form a special squad to specialize in mobile guerrilla warfare and covert assassination. This team has been officially named the "Darkmoon Blade", and it is conceivable that when this Darkblade force is formed and grows, they will be the Grim Reaper on the battlefield.

The other group was the King of the Mountain, whose army was originally composed entirely of the Baimon people. Ten of them remained in Violet Harbor, and this time Bloy selected another twenty from the city's defense team to mix and train with the previous Baimons. The chosen fighters are all strong and have a lot of stamina. Now with the fine iron provided by Storm City, it won't be long before the city's blacksmiths can produce a batch of qualified warhammers for them to use.

The two units had their own characteristics, they occupied both sides of the training ground, and everyone was fully absorbed and did every move with their hearts. Because they know that if they do a standard number of actions during training, they will have a better chance of surviving when they go to the battlefield.

Allen took a spin around the training ground and was very satisfied with the two troops. These are the two official special teams since the establishment of the hunting group, and as for the flame soldiers brought from the family, they have begun to be handed over to Lucy and Adele. In this way, Allen's current military power has gradually become more and more shapely.

The King of the Mountains, the Darkmoon Blade for guerrillas and assassination, and the Flame Warriors for long-range fire support. From these three teams, we can already see a group army pattern with a clear division of labor, each performing its own duties, and cooperating with each other. Of course, according to Lucy's previous plan, there is still a lack of an assault team that can break through and penetrate, as well as an elite combat force that is only responsible to Allen.

These will have to be supplemented slowly later.

"Master Allen." Mato, the captain of the city defense, walked out of his office and shouted to Alan on the training ground, "Lord Edward is looking for you, and he wants to invite you to the city lord's mansion. ”

"Got it." Alan Dao.

Riding a war horse from the camp, Eren arrived at the City Lord's Mansion a few minutes later. Giving the horse to the servant, Alan went to the study alone. Edward's desk had an extra model, and it was a tactical sandbox. It's not very refined, but at least the locations of Storm City and several towns in the territory are listed, so that Alan can make tactical deductions.

Seeing Alan come in, Edward looked up and said, "This afternoon, there will be a mercenary group of 100 people coming over from the Adventurers' Association." That's the best team they've ever found, and the list has been given to me in advance. The leader of the mercenary group, Hansen, is a level 15 knight, with a core of twenty members, and the average level is around level eight. The others were ordinary warriors, but they were all seasoned guys. ”

"Sounds pretty good." Alan Dao.

"But our strength is still a little behind Storm City, so how are you going to fight this battle?" Edward frowned.

Alan smiled slightly: "Time difference." ”

Edward shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, since you have confidence, anyway, I'm not good at this kind of thing, I can only manage the housekeeping for you." ”

"That has helped a lot." Alan walked to the window, looked at the world outside the window, and said, "After defeating Storm City, you can almost leave this frontier land." I'll be in charge of continuing to explore outwards in order to gain more territory and manpower. As for our rear base, it's up to you to take care of it. ”

Edward nodded and said, "I will look for and develop some excellent management talents, after all, I can't do it alone." ”

In the afternoon, a team arrived in the city of Sur. It was the "Rangers", a mercenary group that the Adventurers' Association had found for Allen, and the leader of the Rangers, Hansen, sat on a bloodrock lizard, a monitor lizard with a head as large as a war horse. It is covered in dark red scales and has black spikes on its head and tail. The seat was tightly tied to his back, and Hansen sat on it, with a gun and an axe on either side.

Behind this characteristic mount is a team of horses. There were cavalry in the horse corps, as well as carriages. As for the warriors of the rangers, the weapons and equipment they carry are also distinctive. In addition to the usual standard equipment such as fire/guns and swords, there are also human-high tower shields, two-meter-long choppers, or dragon spears used against cavalry.

Although there are not many humans in the rangers, you can see from the equipment that they have a meticulous division of labor. Once they cooperate in combat, they will be able to exert tremendous combat effectiveness on local battlefields.

Since the hotels in Sur City were limited and could not accommodate an entire mercenary group, Edward simply sent them to the barracks of the city defense team. The mercenaries don't have a problem, let alone the barracks, they can even sleep in the trenches when they need to. These are guys who can really fight, mercenary groups like this, they accept a wide range of tasks, and the most of them are hired by various noble forces to participate in the capture of territories.

In the barracks, they saw the soldiers of the city defense team and the soldiers of the rangers who were training, all with grinning expressions. It seemed to them that the soldiers of Sur were very commonplace. However, when they saw the training of the Darkmoon Blade, the smiles on the faces of these mercenaries faded. The swordsmanship of the Dark Moon Blade is simple and neat, there are no superfluous movements, and every blow goes straight to the point. This can be seen from the fact that the two parts of the chest and throat are almost pierced by the sword on the puppet that serves as a practice.

And when they saw the training of the Mountain King's troops, even Hansen couldn't help but stop and observe. Under Bloy's arrangement, the Mountain King's troops are divided into two groups, each consisting of three people forming a combat unit. Steady as a rock when defending, unstoppable when attacking. In particular, the warriors of the Mountain King each had a fine iron war hammer in their hands, coupled with their strong physique and amazing arm strength, the roar of the war hammer breaking through the air was like a muffled thunder, and the people of the mercenary group palpitated for a while.

Especially those warriors with tower shields, they couldn't help but imagine the situation of fighting the mountain king. Then they found that the ten tower shield soldiers on the side could not withstand the fierce attack of this team at all.

"Captain Hansen."

Hansen came back to his senses, and there was a silver-haired boy in front of him. The striking silver hair immediately let Hansen know the identity of the other party. He jumped off the lizard, stretched out his big hand, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Allen. ”

"You've worked hard all the way here." Seeing that they were looking at their two teams, Alan said, "The rangers have rich combat experience, and our army has just been established, so we need to ask your regiment for advice in many aspects." ”

Hansen laughed and said, "Your Excellency is humble, your two teams have their own strengths. If we were to fight against such a warrior, we would have a lot of headaches. ”

"It's time to win the award, Captain Hansen, please come with me. Space is limited, please bear with me. ”

After arranging the Rangers' quarters, Alan invited Hansen and the other core members of the hunting group to the City Lord's Mansion with him. In Edward's study, a battle meeting was held. After discussion and consultation, a plan for the assault on Storm City was decided.

Two days later, Allen left with a team. The team includes the likes of Regess, Bloy, and Belmode, as well as members of the Mountain King and Darkblade teams. After they left, the atmosphere in the forest where White lived was not as oppressive as before, because the Twilight King Serpent also quietly left. Shiro acted alone, and together with Allen's team, they advanced in the direction of Storm City. R1058
