Chapter 77 Preparations Before the Expedition

Chapter 77 Preparations before the expedition

As for the Savage Tribe, Ronin had learned about it from Steward Holwart on the day he was named the Baron of Shanlin Town.

But he had been in Shanlin Town for so long, but he had not obtained any effective information about the Savage Tribe.

This time, Rydar's intelligence completely filled the gap in this regard. Not only did Rydar know the number of Savage Tribes, but he also had a general understanding of their relationships, numbers, and the number of extraordinary people.

The current situation is completely suitable for Shanlin Town to enter the field and break the status quo between the Tripartite Alliance and the Black Collar Tribe.

Facing Rydar's "the time has come", Ronin nodded slowly.

Although it is said that the best strategy is to attack the enemy's strategy, the next best is to attack the enemy's alliance, the next best is to attack the enemy's troops, and the next best is to attack the city, but the enemy has no strategic location to defend and no city to rely on, and the advantage is completely on Ronin's side.

Seeing that the lord had expressed his agreement, everyone sitting below revealed their fighting spirit in their eyes, especially the professional knights. Establishing merits on the battlefield has always been their pursuit, and now the exciting things are finally coming!

"We must not only fight, but also fight fast!"

Roning said in a resounding voice, "If the Black Collar Tribe is aware of our actions, the hostile state between the four tribes may change to a state of temporary cooperation. At that time, we will face the coalition of the Savage Tribe, just like the coalition of the nobles of Wushan Territory back then."

"So once we attack, we must take down the Gray Earth Tribe, the Green Bamboo Tribe, and the Purple Fruit Tribe as quickly as possible, and take down the three-party alliance before the Black Collar Tribe has time to react!"

As long as these three tribes are incorporated into his territory, even if the Black Collar Tribe is stronger, Roning does not have to worry about being attacked from multiple sides and falling into a passive position.

Everyone was shocked by Roning's decisiveness. They did not expect that this lord who usually focuses on farming and construction would be so decisive in taking the initiative.

"Sir, when will we start the attack?"

McKen couldn't help asking, "Our guards are ready!"

Ronin pondered for a while, "Today is the 15th, and our autumn harvest has just ended. The 80 militiamen selected by Wilson are only here to observe and learn, and have not undergone formal training. So in the next few days, McCann and David, you will be responsible for training them, but remember to maintain sufficient physical strength. The role of the militia is mainly to deal with ordinary people. It is enough to scare people in a short period of time. It doesn't require them to have much combat power."

Not everyone in the Savage Tribe is a good fighter. Most of them are ordinary people. Facing the imposing team, they have almost no courage to resist.

"Rydar, I will trouble you to make a simple map in the next two days, and we will make a detailed plan later."

"You are very thoughtful, my lord!" Rydar nodded in agreement.

In this way, an action to take the initiative to attack the Savage Tribe was initially finalized.

In the next few days, McKen and David were responsible for training the militia, mainly by shouting slogans and walking to improve the overall momentum, and at the same time teaching some relatively simple and practical stacking skills;

For the guards who have been training, they no longer arrange physical training, and even suspended the two-on-two fighting projects.

Some guards were keenly aware of the situation, and they privately speculated whether the lord was going to go to war with the Sean Territory?

After all, they were direct participants in Prince's betrayal at the beginning, and they were also witnesses of the subsequent confrontation between Ronin and Knight Feridon. They knew that the relationship between Sean Territory and Shanlin Town was not good. ˜”*°•.˜˜.•°*”˜

The guards who had such speculations not only had no intention of fearing the battle, but were eager to try one by one.

During this period, they ate well and trained well, and it was indeed time to play a role and make achievements!

As the saying goes, food and grass must go before the troops move. Although the distance between Shanlin Town and Qingzhu Tribe is not far, and there is no need to carry a lot of supplies, the rations for lunch still need to be brought.

Roning had instructed the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for making a hundred servings of white bread in advance to ensure that everyone could have two meals.

In addition, everyone was given a bottle of water by the herder to take with them to solve the problem of hunger and thirst along the way.

When Riedal took out the simple map, Roning called everyone to start the second meeting. This time he called Chahar, who was in charge of the logistics of the castle.

"Our first target this time is the Qingzhu Tribe just north of Shanlin Town."

Roning pointed to the location of the Qingzhu Tribe on the map and said, "There are two roads in the northeast and east of the Qingzhu Tribe, leading to its allies, the Ziguo Tribe and the Huitu Tribe, respectively. The distance is about ten miles. In order to prevent someone from the Qingzhu Tribe from escaping and reporting when we attack, I need someone to lead a team to ambush on these two roads."

Roning glanced at all the extraordinary people on the long table, and finally his eyes fell on the two newcomers, Zhu Weite and Sim, at the end of the long table.

"We will be divided into three teams this time. Zhu Weite and Sim, you two will take five and ten guards respectively, and be responsible for ambushing in the woods on both sides of this road. If you find anyone escaping, capture them immediately!"

Everyone's eyes turned to the two newcomers at the end of the long table, and they immediately straightened their bodies and looked straight ahead, but they were very panicked inside.

They thought they just had to follow the charge, but they didn't expect the lord to let them lead the team.

Ronin emphasized the content of the mission again: "Your mission is to ensure that what happened in the Green Bamboo Tribe does not spread to the Purple Fruit Tribe and the Gray Earth Tribe, understand?"

Zhuweit and Sim immediately stood up and saluted Ronin, "Understood, sir!"

Ronin motioned them to sit down, "The third team, which is the main force, will be led by five extraordinary people, me, Rydar, David, Tom, and Elron, with ten guards and sixty militiamen responsible for attacking the mountain stronghold, and let Bob and Marseille lead the remaining seven guards to guard the castle."

He said, looking at Rydar and McKen, and ordered: "Let those After our main force officially launched the attack, some militiamen shouted to the Qingzhu tribe, letting them know that their mountain stronghold had been surrounded by the army of the Marquis of Wushan, and let them know that only by laying down their weapons and surrendering was their only way to survive! "

Rydar nodded and echoed: "The surprise attack would cause panic to them, and with such shouts, it would definitely make these savages more panicked, making them timid in their hearts before they even started to resist. Your method is very good, sir."

As natives, Tom, Juwitt, Sim and others also admired the lord very much.

In their view, fighting is nothing more than lining up and charging. There are no so many arrangements and arrangements. Today is an eye-opener.

Roning laughed and accepted the praise from everyone.

Morale is still very important. Doing this can make your own morale high and the other side low, so that you can win faster and suffer less losses.

"There are not many extraordinary people in the Qingzhu tribe, at most three or five. Once we find them, we will subdue them as quickly as possible. We can capture them alive, and it doesn't matter if we kill those who are difficult to capture alive." Luo Ning emphasized: "But remember, we don't need to kill those who kneel down to surrender and beg for mercy. You also know the situation in Shanlin Town. Producing more food, building more houses, opening up roads connecting to the outside, etc., all require more people to complete." He smiled and said, "If anyone is found to have killed the surrendered people indiscriminately, I will let him join the manure collection team and go to the streets of the town to pick up manure after the fight." The manure collection team is a unique team in Shanlin Town. Everyone has more or less seen the scene of the ten people carrying manure buckets and baskets to pick up manure everywhere. When they thought that they might do this, they quickly kept the lord's instructions in mind. Luo Ning discussed some details with everyone before officially ending the meeting. "Today is September 19th. We still have tomorrow to prepare. Let the guards and militiamen have a good rest for two nights."

Roning stood up, "Everyone will gather outside the castle for breakfast at 4 a.m. on the 21st. We will set off on time at 5 a.m. Now everyone should get ready!"

This is the first battle that Shanlin Town has taken the initiative to fight against the outside world. Roning doesn't want any accidents to happen.

Choosing the 21st ensures that he can receive the second warm gift package in September, so that his strength can be improved as much as possible.

I wish you all a prosperous Dragon Year in 2024~
