The next day, early morning.
Knight Pell and his Survey Corps had already quietly set out. Their mission today was no easy task. Almost all of the dozen or so nearby barbarian tribes had fled, leaving behind mostly the elderly and the weak.
The members of the Survey Corps are the best hunters in the Kleber Territory, so it is naturally easy for the Survey Corps to break through these tribes where only the elderly and weak are left.
The problem is that these dozen or so tribes cannot be gathered together. If they are gathered together, they will not be a dozen tribes, but one tribe.
More than a dozen tribes are scattered everywhere, and each has its own territory of varying sizes.
Three of the tribes are the largest, with a population of several hundred people each.
The combat mission that Green assigned to the Survey Corps was to take down three large tribes, and at least two of them had to be captured today.
So the key today lies in the Survey Corps' marching speed.
The experienced Knight Pell naturally understood the key to today's battle. The route was too rough to ride a horse. In order not to affect the march, he did not wear the bright silver plate armor that he always wore in battle, but directly put on the simplified leather armor invented by Green over the chain mail.
Knight Per felt that what Lord Green said made a lot of sense. As long as he always faced the enemy, there was no need to protect his back.
Knight Pell felt that he had always been like this on the battlefield.
Although Green did not say it explicitly, Knight Per felt that Green was actually indirectly praising his bravery. Lord, you understand me!
Knight Pell is ambitious. This is the lord's first battle after inheriting the Kleber family. He must not only fight well, but also fight beautifully to consolidate his position as the most loyal and brave knight in Whispering City.
As long as we command properly and arrange the time well, and only leave the old and weak of the three tribes, we can solve the problem today.
After dealing with the three large tribes, the remaining small tribes were already frightened and were easily dealt with. They didn't even dare to resist.
............
It was getting light.
Green, wearing black leather armor embroidered with swamp marigolds, stood on a high place, silently watching the soldiers gathering.
The whole square was noisy with all kinds of noises.
Green soon discovered that the newly formed Thorn Legion of Emparo was actually gathering the fastest.
The Thorn Legion has completed its assembly, and Emparo is checking their equipment.
Green knew that nothing could be accomplished overnight, so he simply sorted out some training and pre-war precautions that he felt were suitable for the moment and gave them to Emparo.
Emparuo followed each one meticulously.
This is also a kind of talent, or rather, it is the talent that Green most hopes commanders will possess at this moment.
Green likes Amparuo's personality very much and can rely on him more in the future.
............
Reina, with her silver hair and pigtails, stood out in the crowd.
After Lena accompanied Empero to check the equipment of the Thorn Legion, she glanced at Green in the distance, said a few words to Empero, and then trotted towards Green.
Green spotted Reina jogging towards him.
While running, Reina jumped several times, her personality was lively, and Green smiled.
Green waved his hand to disperse the guards.
Reina stood a few steps away from Green and bowed, "Excuse me for interrupting you. I'm honored to meet you, Lord."
Reina had just learned the etiquette from Emparo.
Reina was very excited to greet the lord face to face for the first time, and felt that she had finally made a name for herself.
Reina's voice was clear and pleasant.
"Your name is Reina, right? You're the deputy to Commander Emparo of the Thorn Corps."
"Oh my! You already know my name before I even introduced myself? Lord, you really are as knowledgeable as the rumors say! ...Also, those leather gloves you prepared for us are really useful. I tried them, and my fingers feel much better after firing continuously. The sisters are very confident that we can complete the 40-arrow streak. We promise to do it!"
There were a lot of soft leathers in the warehouse. Green knew that longbowmen would wear out their fingers from continuous arrow shooting. After making the "new leather armor", he immediately arranged soft leather gloves for the archers.
Reina kept talking, even jumping up and down when she was excited.
It was still early, and Green was very patient with the soldiers who were about to go out with him. He had a gentle smile on his face and did not interrupt, waiting for Reina to finish speaking.
"Well, time is short, so the gloves may be too big or too small for some people. You will all have gloves of the right size in the future."
"It's all right, it's all right, you see!"
As she spoke, Reina stretched out her right hand, showing off the glove that fit her palm perfectly. "I fixed it last night. It's very simple. Sisters whose gloves don't fit, follow my lead and fix them!"
"Well done. Go back and assist Emparo. Remember, unity is strength."
"Yes! Lord! With unity, we stand firm!"

............
The place where the battle with the mountain savages was scheduled was a relatively flat area about 2 miles east of Whispering City.
At daybreak, Green led his troops to the place where they had agreed to fight with the mountain savages.
Green discovered a large black mass of mountain people gathering a few hundred meters away.
Knight Mason dismounted and shouted, "Armor!"
Mason spoke in a gruff voice, kicking occasionally as he walked among the moving crowd.
"Shield bearers, assemble! Assemble!!"
"Lazy guys, get into formation, quick, quick!"
"What are you panicking about! Go over there, get out of here!"
"If you don't want your wife to roll in someone else's bed tonight, check your equipment again!"
"Shit, shoulder to shoulder! Shoulder to shoulder!!"
.........
Green was riding on a horse, with the assembled Thorn Legion next to him.
Green once again lamented the Crab Claw Peninsula's fighting style.
Compared with the memories of the ice and fire world in the previous life, the way of fighting is very different.
If his army was well-disciplined and well-trained, Green would have ordered his troops to form a formation and advance across the enemy lines while the enemy was in chaos.
Just as Green completed his formation, all kinds of strange roars suddenly came from the savages on the opposite side.
The sounds became more and more uniform and louder.
To Green, the savages, who had no formation at all, were actually pressing towards his phalanx step by step in a huge crowd.
"Locate the arrow!"
"Yes! Positioning arrow!"
The Savage approached the conspicuous positioning arrow.
"Fire!!!!"
