Chapter 364 On the March
After leaving the control area, the speed of the army's march became slower. However, the expedition of the family has never pursued speed. Actually, this is also very understandable.
For example, the purpose of this expedition is to occupy the Bekaa Valley and eliminate the demonic beasts entrenched in the Bekaa Valley, which is just by the way. The Bekaa Valley is there, and it doesn't run away on its own feet, so it doesn't matter if you go faster or slower. As for the monsters, it's better to scare them away, so that the army can still have a lot less trouble, and I can't ask for it.
But on the other hand, the family members have done a very solid job of preparing for this expedition.
The Bekaa Valley is actually not close to the control area of the clans, and the distance is nearly two hundred miles.
The expansion of the clan is also quite distinctive: generally it first occupies an important point, then connects with that point to form a line, and finally after gaining the advantage, it gradually expands into a surface. This is the strategy that was adopted in this expedition.
Although he has been impressed by others several times, the role of the puppet and mascot has not changed. The other commanders did not need Dipp's order at all, they followed the plan that had been drawn up and proceeded according to the planned steps.
After marching for two days, the army came to a flat slope. By the way, although the march lasted for two days, the army advanced only about thirty miles. This kind of marching speed can only be described as "turtle speed".
And in these two days, there are no demonic beasts to intrude, even if the animal is instinctive, and there will be no scattered demonic beasts that will come to the army to send them to death?
So walking all the way and repairing the road, the big rocks and trees that blocked the way were removed and loaded onto the empty deer cart that had been prepared for a long time. The road was also leveled and compacted, and a temporary road was built that could accommodate two deer carts in parallel. The family's plan is also quite steady, no matter what, come ahead to be prepared to ensure that the rear road of the army is smooth.
And this flat slope is also an important location that has long been reconnoitred and determined. The army stopped here and began to build a semi-permanent walled city with civil structures, and the boulders and trees loaded along the way were put to good use. There is strength in numbers. It only took three days for the walled city to take shape. The walls had been built, and a ring of trenches had been dug outside, with a staggering number of traps.
And then according to the plan. He had stockpiled enough food and water, left a considerable amount of equipment to defend the city, and left behind an elder under Jacob, who would lead his nearly 100 private troops to garrison here.
The walled city and the surrounding area would become the elder's domain. Therefore, the construction of the city wall, the construction of facilities in the city, the improvement of the defense system, and the reclamation of land outside the city ...... , which will be done by the elder in the future.
There are advantages and disadvantages to such a territory. The advantage is that it is relatively easy to protect. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to develop. However, for those who are weaker, such a territory is still very attractive.
......
Although Dipu has a feeling of being set aside from these actions of his dependents, he has also learned a lot. The most impressive thing is that the soldiers of the family are quite hard-working. You can fight on the battlefield, and you can become a sapper when you go to the battlefield. I have to say that to be able to develop and grow in such a sinister environment, the family does have very good qualities.
Then the army continued on the road, but it was the first to open the road, and walked about thirty miles to build the walled city. This time it was a high-ranking general from the hereditary elder's side. He will also be promoted to a minor lord. Without Dipu's knowledge, the two factions of the family had already divided the cake. Along the way, seven walled cities were to be built one after another. The list of those lords has long been decided.
It can be seen that this expedition is indeed well thought out. The walled city is built every thirty miles or so, and mutual support can be reached in half a day. Coupled with the road link, occupying the Bekaa Valley adds three points to the certainty.
......
After seeing it, Dipu was not interested. The training of the two major battle methods of the car formation and the shield wall is also on the right track, and now it is nothing more than improving proficiency. So Dipu was at ease again, took the magic potion he carried, and began his own magic cultivation.
On that day, we came to the site of the construction of the third walled city, which was a river beach. After arranging for their direct subordinate troops to set up camp. Dipu returned to his main tent.
"Dip ...... Are you back, sir?" Seeing that Dipu was taking off his coat, Caponero greeted him with a smile. This made Dipu stunned, because they were all maids serving in the tent. Why is Carbonero alone today?
After a moment's hesitation, Dipu did not refuse Caponero's kindness, took off his coat under her service, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"Hmm!" Caponero nodded, looking a little reserved, "I want to...... I want to ......"
"Hey, hey, hey!" looked at Caponero's pretty face flushed. Dipu was also happy. He has always had a high tolerance for beautiful women, "Just talk, okay?"
"Hmm. Let's talk about it. Although he has a strong personality, Caponero is a young girl after all, and it is impossible not to be nervous in the face of her future husband. Feeling the manly aura emanating from Dipp's body, and the two of them alone in the room, Caponero felt that his legs were weak for a while. I didn't know how to open my mouth when I had been talking for a long time.
"Yes!" Dipu smiled, actually...... Nor could he find a common language of extravagance, "That...... How is Tina?"
"Very happy. Thank you, sir. Speaking of his sister, Caponero also had a happy smile on his face.
"And what about you?" said Dip.
"It's ok. ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Dipu couldn't find any more words. In the dim light, he looked at Caponero and saw two rows of long eyelashes curled up, and in the middle were a pair of eyes like black jewels. The nose is upturned, the lips are like orchids, and it is really beautiful and delicious.
And Carbonero was blushing at the sight of Dipp. Her hands were wringing, and she looked overwhelmed. It's like a flower for people to pick. There was an ambiguous atmosphere in the air, which made Dip's heart shake, and in an instant, he couldn't help but waver a little, and wanted to hug Carbonero and love him.
However, after a brief wave, Dipu forcibly restrained his mind. It's not that Caponero isn't attractive enough, it's that he really doesn't dare to provoke. Although the Spiritual Sect had acquiesced in his relationship with the three holy women, and even counted their territories together, Dipu had never thought of marrying them at all.
