Start as Inherited Baroness

In a blink of an eye, it was three days later.

During this period, Sarit conducted basic training for the recruited militia legions so that they could find their own squads.

And each team captain and captain can accurately identify the people under their own command, and know who the commander of the Eagle Flag Team is.

That's about it, you can't ask for too much in terms of queues, as long as you don't lose it when you walk.

It would be even more perfect if there was still some sense of lining up.

There were two thousand militiamen, most of them armed with spears and shields, and some holding battle axes and war hammers. At first glance, they looked quite impressive.

After all, there are many people, and even if there is no plan, random punches will kill the old martial arts master.

This morning, Simon had breakfast, his soldiers and more than 20,000 free people also had a meal, then packed up and set off on the road.

Fortunately, these days, the caravans coming and going have already found a relatively easy route, so just follow it.

The dirt road was still relatively wide, allowing a dozen people to walk side by side. However, due to the large number of people, the entire team plus carriages and other baggage stretched for more than ten miles.

To be honest, this was the first time for Simon to see this kind of migration. Before the time travel, he had only seen it in movies and TV shows, and it was not realistic at all.

"Once the army reaches tens of thousands, the pressure on logistics will increase exponentially. No wonder there is a saying that when we fight war, we fight for logistics..."

Simon was thinking to himself as he led the guards and patrols at the front to clear the way.

The levy of militia was divided into three parts. The first team of 1,000 people was responsible for the rear, and the second team of 500 people provided support in the center.

The third team of 500 people worked as a forward with Simon. It could also be said to be the cannon fodder detachment. They were some of the militiamen who were sacrificed first in case of trouble.

Just like that, one day later, in the evening, the team camped in a wilderness along the river.

The militiamen, as well as some middle-aged men, collected firewood and dry grass from the surrounding area to make fires for cooking.

So many people scared many wild animals away. The erect ape was actually quite scary.

As long as they have a spear, most beasts cannot defeat an adult male human.

However, there are many fierce magical creatures in this world, and it is true that they cannot be defeated by sheer bravery.

"Lord Baron, the front of the team is moving too fast today, and there are many women and children who have a hard time following.

If we hadn't taken a break at noon, I'm afraid many people would have fallen behind. "

In front of the big tent, Sarit and others came to report the situation to Simon.

In this day's work, we traveled more than fifty miles, and the ground was not yet peaceful. For untrained free people, it was not too slow.

"Well, tomorrow morning, let the women and children walk in front. If they are really unable to walk due to the situation, they can take turns riding in the carriage.

As food is consumed, these carriages will become increasingly empty. Simon said after thinking about it for a moment.

"Yes!" Sarit responded respectfully.

"There's nothing wrong with recruiting the militia, right?" Simon asked.

"My lord, there is no problem. Their performance is better than expected. Many of them should have gone on expeditions with the lord before.

Although the order was general, it was not very chaotic. "

"Okay, you will continue to be responsible for the rear, Manfrot will guard the center, and I will lead the elite soldiers to open the way in front.

Sarit is also responsible for nighttime defense, and you can mobilize militia corps and patrols while on the road..."

A few people chatted for a while, and Sarit and others left to do some business.

With nothing to do, Simon went to the tent to study magic.

Dinner was much simpler than before. After all, we were traveling in the wild and didn't have so many conditions.

Just a piece of white bread, a roast rabbit, a bowl of vegetable soup and wheat porridge.

After Simon finished eating, the sky became completely dark, and there were no entertainment activities. After reading a book for a while with a candle in his hand, he fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden scream, which woke him up.

"What's going on!?" He jumped up, drew his sword and held it in front of him, shouting.

"Sir, it seems something happened at the free people's camp. I'll take people over to take a look." Mailan, who was guarding outside, called out.

"Go." Simon said even though he was frightened, he also stepped out.

It was pitch black in the distance outside, but there were many bonfires lit in the camp, and the stars brought a lot of light.

Simon turned his attention to the free people's camp and saw many torches moving around, but he couldn't see the details clearly.

He waited patiently. It should be nothing serious, and most areas of the camp were still peaceful.

"Who!? Protect the Baron!" At this time, a Guards soldier suddenly shouted on the outer defense line.

Soon, seven or eight heavy infantrymen all moved towards Simon with their shields raised, protecting him in the middle.

Then there was the sound of flying bats, approaching extremely fast.

"It's not good. Could it be a powerful vampire?"

This thought flashed through Simon's mind, and the next moment, he raised his hand and released a light spell.

This technique not only illuminates, but also deters dark creatures.

Suddenly, a fist-sized ball of light within dozens of feet was illuminated like daylight.

"Squeak!"

At the same time, a group of bats attacking in mid-air seemed to hit a wall, brake suddenly in the air, then turned around and flew back, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Damn! Didn't it say that only earl-level vampires can turn into bats?

Could it be the guy who transformed Keelung before? "Simon was thinking in his mind, and his vigilance was greatly increased.

"From today on, all the guards and the management personnel must carry garlic with them."

He shouted and ordered immediately.

"Yes! Sir!" Many heavy infantrymen responded solemnly, and they all realized the danger.

If a vampire count is targeted, it is still a headache.

The main reason is that this thing can turn into a bat, which is too mobile. It is easy to drive it away, but difficult to kill it.

After waiting for a while, the bats did not attack again. It seems that they were scared away by Simon's light spell.

Although this spell cannot cause substantial damage to them, it can delay their actions to a certain extent.

If the vampire count is surrounded by soldiers under the influence of this spell, there is a great risk of being hacked to death.

"Baron! It's clear that the free people were attacked by vampires.

However, the patrolling conscripted militia discovered it in time and no casualties were caused."

Malan returned with a few people and reported.

"We were attacked by a suspected vampire lord before, so be on high alert.

Use garlic sparingly, and don't put it in cooking." Simon nodded and ordered.

When we set out from Changxiangling, we bought a lot of garlic in the market, but now there are many people in the team, so it's better to keep it for the blade.

"By the way, I have some silver swords in my tent, you can go over and take them to the guards later."

Simon added that there were dozens of swords in his storage bar, and the blacksmith Telf had made a lot of them before, so he took some and stored them.

It came in handy at this time.
