On the winding road, an army stretching for miles was advancing steadily and neither hurriedly nor slowly.

Odorico Flamel rode on a warhorse and walked at the front of the team.

The ancestors of the Flamel family were once honorary knights of the Wushan Territory, but after several generations of decline, by the time Odoro was born, they had almost no property and only a noble title.

Although Odoro is now forty years old, fortunately he has gold-level strength and is doing much better than his father and grandfather.

It’s just that the family’s foundation is gone, and everything has to start all over again. After years of hanging around, he finally came into Lu Lans’ sight.

It was thanks to Lulans' introduction that he was able to successfully join the First Knights formed by Roning. After passing Redal's assessment, he temporarily took over the position of deputy leader of the First Knights of Moonlight Valley.

For Odoro, this was like pie in the sky, and therefore he took the assignment from his superiors extremely seriously.

A scout cavalryman came running back from the front, "Deputy Captain, the camp of West Wind Hill is three miles ahead."

"Okay, let's get to the camp before sunset."

Although West Wind Hill is called a camp, it can actually be seen as a small town with a relatively concentrated population. In addition to military soldiers, there are also ordinary people and even traveling merchants who come here to do business.

It's just that due to the special nature of this place, it hasn't developed much.

The troops moved forward gradually, and soon everyone saw the camp.

It is located on a small hill, surrounded by makeshift wooden fences and has relatively simple fortifications.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds onto the hard ground, casting a golden glow.

Odoro looked up and saw a flag with a golden griffin on a blue background fluttering above the hill. This was the flag that symbolized the kingdom.

Just then, a group of people rushed down from the hill, raising a cloud of dust.

"Is it the team of Marquis Ronin of Moonlight Valley?"

Odoro rode forward and responded respectfully, "Yes. I am Odoro Flamel, the vice-captain of the First Knights of Moonlight Valley. May I ask if you are Lord Denni Torres?"

Denny Torres is a viscount of the kingdom who is stationed in West Wind Hill all year round, and he is also a Meteor-class knight who has experienced many battles.

To be honest, Odoro looked a little weak when he stood in front of the opponent.

After all, his strength is weaker than the other party, and his status is not as high as the other party.

But overall, the performance is pretty good.

The man uttered a sigh and looked at Odoro in surprise, frowning slightly: "Didn't they say that the one coming was Redar Maine?"

Odoro explained: "According to the previous plan, the leader should be here soon."

As he was speaking, a cry was heard. It was Riedal flying over on a griffin.

The snow-white griffin stopped in front of the team, and Redal jumped off it.

"Sir Denni, I am the commander of Marquis Ronin and the leader of the First Knights of Moonlight Valley, Redar Maine. I have come to take over the defense line of West Wind Hill. This is the proof of the change of defense."

Dennie could feel the faint strong aura from Redal and knew that the other party was quite powerful.

He dismounted and said with a laugh, "Welcome, Ridar, and all the brave warriors. His Majesty will be proud of you!"

After some pleasantries, the two exchanged defense credentials.

"My knights will evacuate tomorrow, but tonight, please set up camp outside with your team and spend the night there."

There are houses in the camp, but it is impossible for them to evacuate at night.

"It doesn't matter."

Ridar smiled and replied, "Odoro, you go and make the arrangements."

"Okay Commander!"

Denny extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation, inviting Redal to come to the hall of the camp fortress.

According to the handover arrangement, he needed to explain to Redal the defense situation and precautions of West Wind Hill.

As Ridal listened, he thought.

Combined with the scene he saw when he entered the camp, it seemed that the atmosphere here was not tense, but rather relaxed, and the soldiers were not very disciplined.

I think the absence of war for so many years has made them relax their vigilance.

After the story was told, Dennis smiled and said, "With your strength, it should be no problem for you to guard West Wind Hill. But I suggest that before you arrange your garrison plan, there is a place you need to go first."

He paused and explained, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent me a message a few days ago, asking Marquis Roning to go to Red Pine Castle. Now that the Marquis is not here, you should go on his behalf. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is our commander-in-chief here."

Riedal stood up and shook hands with the other party. "Thank you for your notice, I will go there."

The handover and coordination of the change of guard has been completed, and what remains is the orderly entry and evacuation.

It was obvious that Dennie had made some preparations. He had packed almost everything the next morning, and after lunch he led the Knights away from Westwind Hill and headed towards Red Pine Castle.

The Seventh Knights of the Kingdom, led by Dennis, will be directly under the command of Garrett.

After the camp was empty for a short time, a new team moved in.

Under Odoro's command, cavalry, infantry, etc. were successively allocated and arranged.

After a busy period, it was already evening.

"Commander, many of the houses in the camp have been damaged. Many of them need to be repaired before we can move in. I have arranged for the logistics personnel to do this. Until they are repaired, we can only squeeze in."

Odoro was a little angry, "We are all here to fight the enemy, why are they doing this?"

Redal nodded. There was no way to investigate this matter. He just didn't know whether the destruction of the house was instigated by Denny or done intentionally by the soldiers under him.

"Just arrange the repairs. Go and inform the captains of the ten knight squads. I need to arrange a defense plan to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack."

He had surveyed the surrounding environment during the day and, based on Denny's instructions, made a preliminary defense plan.

In the next few days, he needed to survey the surroundings carefully and even be prepared to spy on the enemy camp.

As for Denny's instructions, asking Redal to go to Red Pine Castle to see Garrett before deploying the defense, he had forgotten about it.

For him, how could meeting the so-called commander-in-chief be more important than stabilizing his own situation first?

Moreover, according to Ronin's arrangement, the land of West Wind Hill cannot be used as just a camp.

Anyway, we will be stationed here for a long time. Instead of constantly transporting food to the front line, it is better to transform this place, build a front-line base, and start implementing the military farming system.

To this end, Roning has applied to His Majesty the King for the management rights of West Wind Hill for fifty years and has obtained the other party's approval. There is no need to worry about the construction being suddenly abandoned due to transfer, or being sold to the next owner.

Red Pine Castle.

Garrett's face was so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip out, and he was in an extremely unhappy mood.

"This Rydar actually dared to openly ignore my orders!"

He slammed the tabletop hard, sending the books and letters piled on it flying.

It would be fine if Luo Ning didn't give him face, after all, the other party's identity and strength were there.

Now, the commander of Moonlight Valley, who is neither a noble nor has any identity background, actually dares to disobey the order of him, the commander-in-chief before the war. This shows that he does not take him seriously at all.

"Go, inform that Redar immediately and have him arrive at Red Pine Castle tomorrow morning!"

"Tell him that if he doesn't come again, he and Luo Ning will be responsible for any serious consequences!"
