Chapter 013 application
The valley camp was makeshift, so everything looked shabby. Most of the cabins are made of wooden boards as beds, and there are some tables and chairs and so on. Of course, because there is plenty of wood, every household has a crackling brazier for heating.
At this point, Joshua, Darren, Borg and a middle-aged woman were sitting in a room to discuss things. It can be said that these people are the leaders of this small group at present. The middle-aged woman is Megan in charge of logistics, and Joshua is learning to do things from her now. A person who had just joined was not qualified to attend such a meeting, but Joshua's status as a wizard could not be ignored, so Darren took her with him.
This kind of small meeting, of course, does not require any strict process. Darren rubbed his palm over the brazier twice, then smiled and asked Megan, "how much food do we have left?"
At present, the biggest problem for this team is the shortage of food, so as long as several people get together, the first thing to talk about is food.
Megan shook her head. "not much, even with the game you've hunted these days, it won't last a week at most."
Darren frowned and beat the palm of his hand: "his mother." Well, these damned central troops are messing around here instead of guarding against the northern famine in the winter! " Seeing Joshua here, Darren refrained from swearing.
"Yes." Borg interfaced, "and according to the estimation of the chief of Rosa, the noise this time should not be small!"
"after all these years, it doesn't matter if we fight. But now this grain. Alas, ordinary wild animals hide in winter, and we dare not touch some large Warcraft. That's all we've got in a week, and this road won't work. " He broke his beard, Darren sighed.
At this point, everyone frowned, and there was some silence in the room for a moment.
In fact, the problem of food is a problem that the grey army has been facing since its establishment. The north is vast and sparsely populated and has a large land area. according to reason, there should be a lot of grain. However, because the weather in the north is so cold that it is not suitable for the growth of plants at all, the output of grain can never go up.
Coupled with the fact that the north is a place where wars are often fought, grain has long been supervised by munitions. The poor work hard all the year round. After paying various taxes and being exploited again by aristocrats, there is little left of the grain collected, and almost no grain is traded on the market. Only in big cities do some connected grain merchants come from the south to sell and trade.
The encirclement and suppression of a special group like the gray army happens from time to time, so it is impossible to stay in one place for a long time, so it is naturally impossible to plant. As for going to big cities to do business, it is OK in ordinary times. However, there is no doubt that this kind of situation is impossible.
Half-bang, Darren suddenly said: "it seems that can only be done!"
Borg's eyebrow moved: "you mean."
Darren nodded heavily.
Joshua and Megan looked at them in surprise. "do you have a way?"
Borg smiled at Joshua and replied, "when we were hunting wild animals, we saw a small supply team." Look, the flag should belong to the Cangyan Legion, one of the three major central forces at the front. "
"are we going to rob military supplies?" Joshua and Megan were shocked.
", not bad." Darren touched his beard and grinned. "after being kicked out for such a long time, you have to get something back."
Josiah said hesitantly, "but this kind of material will be accompanied by an army."
Borg nodded and said, "well, the escort is an infantry of 800 men."
"800 infantry?" Megan raised her voice. "We only have four hundred battles, but we are only half as strong as each other. Can we fight it down?"
"it's not that there's no chance at all." Borg interfaced, "We have observed that the 800 infantry is not a hundred soldiers who often go to the battlefield, but should only be responsible for the delivery of supplies. As long as we succeed in the ambush, we will kill the infantry captain as soon as possible. Then a charge can disrupt their morale. "
Darren nodded and said, "Yes, and it's hard to hold on in our current situation." This material team with only 800 people is still rare, and since we have run into it this time, we can't let it go! "
Everyone nodded, and there was really no choice in the present situation.
Darren saw that the other three agreed and nodded, "well, I."
"Roar!"
Just as Darren was about to announce the adoption of the resolution, suddenly there was a loud roar.
Uh. Borg and Darren looked at each other with surprise. Joshua and Megan seem to be used to it.
Josiah said, "this is Arthur." I'm sorry, um, he said it wouldn't be like this for another day. "
"Arthur? Oh. " Darren suddenly realized that they had seen the roar when they first began to bind Dawn.
Joshua took the opportunity to say: "Arthur should also join the gray army, well, I will be his reference."
"him?" Borg picked his eyebrows.
"Yes, Mr. Arthur is very good. Well, he taught me many of my ideas, and I'm sure he will bring change to the gray army. " Joshua spoke highly of Dawn and spared no effort to recommend it.
"but his identity. Well, I'm sorry, Joshua, it's not that I don't trust him, it's just that, you know, the situation is complicated. " Borg spread his hand.
"so I said to be his reference. I am very familiar with Arthur, no problem. " Joshua said firmly.
The blog blinked and smiled and said, "well, since Joshua is so sure, I agree with the Arthur brothers to join us." What about you? "
Darren and Megan nodded at the same time.
"Yay!" Joshua jumped. "Thank you, Uncle Darren, Aunt Megan, and, uh, Borg."
Borg waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy.". Well, the skill of the Arthur brothers seems to be very good. The key to our ambush of the infantry team this time is to kill the captain as soon as possible. Why don't you let the Arthur brothers do it? "
He paused and then said, "and in this way, there will be no problem with his identity, and he will be able to convince other brothers."
"No, it can't be done by a newcomer who has just joined." Darren frowned.
"I'm just making a suggestion," Borg said with a smile. "it doesn't matter whether I do it or not.". "
"Uncle Darren is fine. Borg has a point." Joshua pursed her lips and said, "but I have to discuss this with Arthur first."
"well, well. Brother Arthur must not be forced to do this kind of thing. " Bogg said leniently.
"mm-hmm." Joshua nodded.
Now that we have decided to rob the grain, the next thing to do is to discuss the details. For example, the other party's current location, ambush location, etc. These things are mainly agreed upon by Darren and Borg. So Joshua took his leave and went to Dawn.
. In the cave, Dawn had returned to normal, and after listening to Joshua's words, he could not help laughing. This is just a petition for submission. Although he was not interested in joining the gray army, Joshua spoke, and Dawn was willing to help, so he nodded in agreement.
In the next few days, the gray army began to prepare and mobilize constantly.
Those who used to look as honest as farmers, er, actually farmers, began to sharpen weapons such as machetes.
The military equipment of this group of gray army looks very shabby, usually with a big knife. Only Darren and Borg have full-body armor in the army.
The killer was professional in the integration of the environment, but in a few days, Dawn became familiar with most of the gray ar. also learned something.
Darren is the supreme leader of the gray army. He seems to have served in the army before. Later, for some reasons, he left the army and went to the mercenary world, and finally came to the gray army.
When Dawn heard this, he couldn't help smacking his lips. He felt a little bit more mixed up and went back. But Darren's character is very generous and has no intention. Every time charge, like to take the lead.
As for Borg, he used to be as aristocratic as Joshua and a viscount. However, it seems that the family has done something out of bounds and was found guilty by King Ting of the Kingdom of Blanc. In this world, there is no such thing as "the monarch asks my minister to die, and the minister has to die". Borg's family rebelled immediately and, of course, it was suppressed, but at least the man ran out. In desperation, the whole family joined the gray army.
This Borg grew up in an aristocratic college, smart and studious, and can be regarded as one of the few excellent second generations. Everything about the platoon and war tactics in the aristocratic campus is taught. Borg has now learned and used it flexibly, has won several small-scale wars, and seems to be an excellent tactical commander. Now the tactics of this gray army are all written by him.
In three days, the gray army was all ready.
So that night, Dawn set out with the "grain robbery brigade".
