Chapter 564 (1/2)
The march of 15000 infantry was a great momentum.
Although Thain has repeatedly stressed that these people should be more casual and decadent, he can still see many characteristics that only elite veterans can have in his eyes. This made Thain's heart more gloomy, because he knew that he was put forward by Haila: Although he was nominally the commander of this army, in fact, the soldiers of the fourth legion of the kingdom of dabion did not really obey his orders at all.
If even he could see the particularity of this army, people like William and Sean could not see it.
Originally I wanted to kill Sean by surprise, but now this state, let alone kill Sean by surprise, I'm afraid even he himself will be dragged into the water. He could do anything to kill Sean, but if there was no hope at all, the result would not be what he wanted.
Thinking of this, Thain's heart has made a decision.
The army set out from mickelin, led by Dayi, and did not take yadby - so it only took half a month to reach the core of panda, the empty city of Sean's economic, political and cultural center, but it was obviously not very satisfactory in terms of food and supplies. For the soldiers of the fourth dabion regiment who have been treated at the highest level in the kingdom of dabion, this is naturally a painful process.
About half a month later, when the army officially arrived in the suburbs of void City, only from the appearance of embarrassment, not many people would believe that the army was the fourth legion of the elite army of the kingdom of dabion. However, for people who are really good at military operation like Thain and William, it is not difficult to find the essence of this army hidden under the appearance of embarrassment. After all, we should know that these 15000 people are not taken care of by the logistics force, so it is difficult not to be embarrassed after more than half a month's journey.
In the suburbs of void City, several camps have been built here. Judging from the scale, they are all more than 5000 people, and even two of them are at the level of 10000 people. If we say that there are at least 40000 troops gathered in the void city at the moment, this is almost half of Sean's total troops.
Thain glanced at the camps and found that almost all of them were hung with black square flags.
This is a mercenary flag different from the designation flag.
As we all know, the number flag is a special honor of the army. Each number flag is recorded in the military history books. It can not only study the origin, organizational years, but also have detailed records of all the military heads, attribution, major changes, etc. of the past dynasties. Therefore, the number flag can not be used indiscriminately.
However, the mercenary Corps is essentially the same as the army, but these mercenaries belong to the ownerless army, so in order to distinguish between each other, it is natural to draw some unique things on the flag. However, these are not numbered flags, but are called mercenary flags - different from the gold and silver edges of numbered flags, mercenary flags mostly use red, black and green as the edges of flags, and their meaning also symbolizes red rock, black iron and bronze.
In the mercenary world, the color of the border is also a kind of knowledge. As long as the combat effectiveness is consistent with the strength, the upper color can be used as the flag border.
Like red, it is usually used by small mercenaries or fledgling mercenaries; The black border pattern means that the size and number of this mercenary regiment are more than 5000; As for cyan, it is usually a symbol of a large mercenary regiment, which means that the size and number of people exceed 30000.
There is another color above the cyan, which is different from the golden orange, which belongs to the exclusive edge pattern of the top ten mercenaries. There is only one way to get the edge of this color - substitution.
At the moment, six of the seven camps are hanging black square flags, and the remaining one is hanging the Connolly family emblem.
”Six mercenaries and a private army?” Thain murmured, ”it's worthy of being a watertight William. He's really well prepared. There's no gap left.”
”What are you talking about, my lord?” Hearing Thain's murmur, Yad came forward and asked in a low voice because he couldn't hear clearly.
”Nothing.” Thain shook his head. ”These people don't listen to me very much, so take them to camp first Remember, don't have any conflict with the people here. I'll go to the city and report it now. There will be logistics personnel in charge soon. You have a rest first. Then I'll report to Sean and try to cheat him out. ”
”Yes, my Lord.” Yade nodded excitedly.
Then Thain didn't say anything, but left soon.
Looking at Thain's departure, the smile on Yade's face gradually disappeared.
As a noble born in the nugus family, Yade, like others, has a sense of superiority, so in his bones, he naturally rejects or even despises Thain. But since he is a noble from a big family, Yade is naturally very good at forbearance, not to mention that he graduated with full marks in aristocratic communication, so he is good at pretending to be a grandson in front of others.
The reason why he was so courteous and respectful to Thain was simply because he looked at the orders of the nugus family and Thain's future. However, when he found that the fourth regiment of dabion did not pay much attention to the orders of the future new star of dabion Kingdom, Yade's mind immediately became active: if he could successfully kill Sean this time and only he could return to dabion alive, he would undoubtedly become the greatest hero of this event.
But how to go back alive is a difficult problem.
