The brave man opened the coffin and rose

It was Davis's men who received the order from General Paddy to go and take over the town.

This reorganized team is more like a militia than a regular army.

This is why General Paddy’s mission was to take over the town.

Deep down, he didn't believe that Davis, with such a group of people, could handle any major events.

The reason for choosing Tianye Town is that it is the turning point of the highway near the border.

As long as he blocked that place and gained a firm foothold there, no matter how rampant the Lizardmen became, they would not be able to disturb him from roaming around in the small kingdom of Wommza.

"I'm afraid what you are best at is lining up. Walk into the town in an orderly manner, show my respect, and help me watch there..."

But it is obvious that Tianye Town, without city walls, cannot take on the responsibility of serving as a pass.

Therefore, General Paidi continued to speak, "Once we gain a foothold, subsequent resources will be continuously transported here."

In order to prevent the lizardmen who were left alone from disturbing their pursuit of supremacy, Sweetleaf Town had to be upgraded from a small town to a major town with city walls.

The above are some of the details added by General Paddy when Davis' troops set out.

----------

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Davis' army, with a peaceful atmosphere, slowly marched towards Sweet Leaf Town.

Since their main task was to take over and garrison, they did not wear armor but light clothes.

The team leader Davis was dressed in an elegant military uniform and a top hat, with his hand resting on the sword at his waist, looking gentle and refined.

As the army advanced, clearly recognizable wheel tracks gradually appeared in the lush woods of the mountains.

"We should be there in half a day..."

Davis looked into the distance. The field of vision in the dark was not too far. Although he could not see the shape of Sweetleaf Town, he could catch a glimpse of several small residences.

They are probably the solitary mountain folks living around the town.

"Entering the town in the middle of the night may cause unnecessary panic." The gentle Davis took off his gloves and took out a warrant from General Paddy.

After handing the warrant to his confidant, he also issued instructions in a very serious manner.

"Take Lord Paddy's warrant and find the person in charge of Sweet Leaf Town and let him make a decision."

"If you are prepared to obey the general's will, come to the outskirts of town tomorrow morning with people and food to reward us."

"If you are not prepared to obey, be prepared to pay with your life."

If General Paddy hadn't given the order, Davis would never have thought of garrisoning in such a small town without even a city wall, and he wouldn't have cared whether the people in the town would feel scared and panicked after midnight.

The general rebelled... No, the general revolted, and what he needed was a stable rear.

If I don't stand firm and help the general keep an eye on the Lizardmen from the East Wilderness who are wreaking havoc in the southeast of the country, then the general's path to unification will become particularly difficult.

I hope that later, after the materials are delivered, they can start building the city wall.

After hearing Davis' order, Davis' confidant put away the warrant and immediately led another companion to leave the team and rush to Sweet Leaf Town under the cover of night.

As night fell, the entire team began to set up camp.

The soldiers quickly set up tents and lit a bonfire. The steaming flames illuminated their tired faces.

Davis watched the soldiers move skillfully and orderly, and sighed inwardly.

Although the training performance of this entire team is mixed, at least they are very disciplined when it comes to eating.

Being able to learn to queue is very important for the military.

The cultivation of organization and discipline is the foundation of all tactics.

If they can queue up for meals today, then tomorrow they will be welcomed and will be able to walk in an orderly and powerful manner when entering the town.

The day after tomorrow, we can assist General Paddy and defeat all those guys who take advantage of the chaos.

The entire scene of Davis's troops stopping to rest was captured by two pairs of wolf eyes hiding in the dense forest not far away.

The two figures riding on the wolves looked at each other, then retreated silently and disappeared into the dense forest.

They were the scout team reorganized by Abes, performing the work of real scouts.

All of them, in accordance with the requirements of Lord Anivia, who was in charge of the scout team, not only spread out over long distances, but also had the right to be given priority in the supply of wargs, which allowed them to pass on news quickly and steadily.

After leaving the other party's sight, the two soldiers of the scout team also laughed softly.

When day turns to night, observation, fighting, command and communication become difficult.

A troop that has difficulty coordinating is like a paralyzed patient, and is very likely to be attacked, or to be seen by scouts at such a close distance that all the information is visible.

But what they never expected was that the other party's vigilance was so low that they were almost able to get away with it.

"First, they didn't measure the locations of objects that can be seen clearly at night, and second, they didn't send out guard posts. Only the queues for meals were quite neat. What kind of troops are they?"

What the scout team soldiers narrated were some of the key points of action that Abes had explained to their scout team in the past few days.

"Looking at their equipment, they are regular troops, right? Ever since I joined Master Abes, I have wanted to fight them."

"Don't worry. Lord Abeth has divided the work among us and has repeatedly emphasized that we must obey the orders of our superiors in all actions. We are scouts now, so don't think about those rash things. Take the news back and inform Lord Anivia and Lord Abeth."

"Do you want to catch a tongue?" After confirming that they had returned with the news, one of the scout team soldiers asked.

As for the target of the tongue, it is also easy to choose.

Didn’t two people just walk towards the road after receiving the order?

The two people who left had no mounts and had to walk. As long as they drove the wolves under their crotches to speed up, they would be able to catch up quickly.

"Of course. The direction they are heading to is the town that Lord Abeth is planning to station in. What's its name?"

"Sweetleaf Town."

"Yes, yes, Sweet Leaf Town, we have people there too. If we don't go there quickly, the credit won't be ours."

Now, one third of the scattered scout groups are surrounding Tianye Town, waiting for the large force behind to slowly press forward.

The remaining two-thirds spread out towards the farther west and north.

There is no doubt that if they had acted a little later, the credit for catching the tongue might have been taken by other colleagues.

The financial rewards promised by Lord Abes are real.

Anyone who does not actively seize opportunities to make money must have something wrong with his or her thinking.

Outside the exit of Sweetleaf Town.

Behind the traveling group that Pharmacist Matthew was in, Anglaus deliberately slowed down his pace and followed them casually and leisurely on the exit road of the town in a leisurely manner.

Since I am so destitute and can't behave like a human being, I might as well go back to my old job and borrow some money and property from the common people.

He believed that as long as he got a new set of clothes and gave the gatekeeper some money, he would be able to meet the mayor.

But, when it comes to the military officer borrowing money from civilians, there are still some tricks involved.

Unsure whether the locals were united, Anglaus set his sights on Matthew and his team.

There were bulging backpacks, and only two of the four or five people were slightly tall. The entire team was carrying simple daggers and knives, but there was no sign of military weapons. It was also obvious from their palms and fingers that they were not the hands of hard-working people.

They have no fighting power, are outsiders, traveling merchants, and are a group of businessmen who do not know how to show off their wealth.

Isn’t this the best person to “borrow” money from?

Thus, throughout the afternoon, Anglaus followed Matthew's team, walking and stopping, watching them sell the potions on hand in retail or in bulk, and then exchange them for shining silver and gold coins and put them into one of their purses.

By night, we saw that the group's packages had emptied and they were walking out of the town, as if they were about to leave.

Anglaus did not care about the bread he had begged for. He swallowed it in two or three mouthfuls and immediately followed.

"God is helping me, even walking at night!"

Later, he would force these people to lend him 120% of their property, and for the rest, he would have to write an IOU and take it next time!
