Chapter 45 Border Patrol

  "The new recruits of the kingdom, from now on you are no longer children at home, no longer masters served by mice..."

  After a brief speech, Jilun ordered his deputy to divide Liu Yu and the others into teams. The new recruits were definitely not as strong as the old soldiers in combat power, so Liu Yu and the other three were divided into fifty groups, then assigned to the 50 furnaces of the Fourth Division.

  Each of the seven veteran warriors left in the fire will be the "guide" for these new soldiers, so that they can quickly familiarize themselves with the military environment, rules, tactics and martial arts, forming a mature combat force.

  For some reason, Liu Yu and Ivan were assigned together again, but Fete was assigned to another fire. After the new recruits were assigned, Jiren didn't say much and left, while Liu Yu and the others followed the four deputy officers to their respective tents.

  The army of the Beastman Kingdom is mainly divided into regular troops and reserve troops composed of retired veterans. In peacetime, general wars are usually handled by regular troops. When the regular troops cannot handle it, they will gather those retired veterans to support them, which is similar to the three tribes of Mongols, Wolfmen, and Centaurs.

  However, due to differences in population among ethnic groups, there are many differences in the specific military organization of each ethnic group.

  The largest military formation of the Bi Mong tribe is a division, with each division having 1,000 Bi Mong soldiers, led by a Duwei; under the division there are regiments, with each regiment having 500 Bi Mong soldiers, led by a Xiaowei; under the regiment there are battalions, with each battalion having 100 Bi Mong soldiers, led by a Zhongwei; under the battalion there are companies, with each company having 50 Bi Mong soldiers, led by a Tuwei; under the company there are squads, with each squad having 10 Bi Mong soldiers, led by a Huowei.

  As for the army of werewolves and centaurs, their numbers far exceeded those of the Mongolians, and there were also great differences in specific formations.

  In a tent in the camp of the Fourth Division, Liu Yu had just settled down and was quietly lying on his bed, thinking about the military system of the Beastman Kingdom.

  "Huh? ..... Ah ...... " A murmured voice suddenly sounded in the tent, Liu Yu turned his head to see Ivan sleeping on the bed to his right, talking in his sleep in a language he didn't know.

  "You wouldn't also be from another world, would you?" Liu Yu asked Ivan with a heartfelt smile, using a low and barely audible voice, of course, this was a question that Ivan wouldn't answer.

  Liu Yu continued to look to the right and saw that there were eight more Bi Meng warriors sleeping over there. The military camp was not a bloody training ground, but a large training camp where Liu Yu and his group could be assigned small wooden houses for two or even one person. These new recruits like Liu Yu could only sleep together with the old soldiers in the big tent of their own fire, this feeling of ten people sleeping together on a kang was something Liu Yu had never experienced before in his past life or this life.

  Apart from Liu Yu and Ivan, another newcomer in the fire is Daimon Togura Simon, and Viktor Simon comes from the same family. They have some intersections with Liu Yu and others in peacetime, but their relationship is general.

  Liu Yu slowly sat up and looked at Tugela, who was also fast asleep. He soon thought of his cousin Irina, who had a crush on Victor Simon. This cousin, along with her older brother Bernan, who enlisted two years ago, were both sent to the territory of the Northern Centaurs. According to his father Gaya, Bernan had killed several enemies and achieved some military merit at the front line.

  In the military system of the Beimong, female Beimong had to join the army and serve, but generally did not go to the battlefield. Most of them were organized into reserve forces and stayed in the rear, responsible for some logistical support management transportation and other tasks, and Elena naturally became a member of the logistics department of the Northern Beimong Army.

  In those years of getting along, Elena gave him a warm and generous feeling, so Liu Yu still had a good impression of this cousin.

  "I also don't know what happened to that young couple?"

  .........

  Two months later, in the southern border of the Beastman Kingdom, a small team quietly advanced on the rugged mountain road. The team was not large, with only over a hundred people, and they were spread out quite far apart, whether walking forward, backward, left or right, there were many scouts scattered around.

  A few miles ahead of the troops, two Bimon warriors wearing black military uniforms and thin leather armor, and four wolfman warriors wearing gray military uniforms, were walking cautiously, each observing a direction.

  A Bhutanese warrior wore a conch shell trumpet at his waist, which he would blow to summon help in case of any unforeseen enemy attack.

  Another Bimon warrior, nearly two meters tall, carried a long sword and a curved bow with a quiver of arrows on his back, with a dagger at his waist. His clothes seemed thicker than those of the other Bimon warriors, and the leather armor he wore was bulging, this Bimon warrior was Liu Yu, who had joined the army for two months.

  On the second day of entering the camp, he and Ivan, Tugela, under the leadership of Huo Wei Ge Li, who was in charge of their own fire department, became familiar with the system within the army and some simple tactics and strategies. Because they had been exposed to a lot of common sense in this aspect before in the Blood Refining Camp, they learned quickly.

  A month later, they were basically familiar with general military affairs and were sent to the border line for patrol missions along with their affiliated fire. In addition to them, there were also 100 wolf warriors who carried out patrol missions together, and the organizational structure of the wolf army was slightly larger than that of the Mongolian army, with 100 soldiers being a brigade-level organization.

  Arriving at the front line, Liu Yu gained a deeper understanding of the military system of the Beastman Kingdom. The armies of the Bimon, Wolfmen and Centaurs were not simply divided into three parts according to their respective races, but rather had divisions and unions.

  Like the 4th Division of Bimon where Liu Yu was, it was merged with the 2nd Legion of Lang's 20,000 wolf warriors to form a mixed legion. In this way, the wolf warriors on the battlefield served as ordinary forces against ordinary enemies, while the Bimon warriors served as elite forces responsible for opening up the situation and eliminating the opponent's high-ranking fighters, achieving a combination of high and low combat effectiveness.

  As a high-end warrior, Bimon's status is naturally higher. Like Giren, he and the second battalion of the Wolf Tribe are all captains, but the command of the mixed battalion is in his hands, and even the soldiers of the Wolf Tribe have to accept his command.

  The Duwei of the Wolf Tribe Army is in the position of Gilen's deputy, responsible for internal management of the Wolf Tribe Army in peacetime and receiving Gilen's command during wartime.

  All the Bimon warriors and Wolf tribe warriors under both lieutenants were also paired in this way, with 1,000 Bimon warriors and 20,000 wolf tribe warriors allocated at a ratio of one to twenty, and the first officer was always an officer on the Bimon side.

  Liu Yu and his team of 10 Fire Elementals were matched with 200 Wolf Tribe warriors, who were divided into two groups to take turns patrolling with the Fire Elementals.

  Today, Liu Yu and Hui Wei Ge Ri are serving as the vanguard scouts for the entire team. In recent years, the border has been relatively calm, with little movement from the Fano Empire, so the patrol team is still relatively safe. Therefore, Ge Ri took the opportunity to bring along Liu Yu, a newcomer, to help him get familiar with the basic norms of scouting.

  Liu Yu and his team patrolled the eastern edge of the Cordillera Plateau, where the ground was not dominated by the Gobi Desert like the side of the Earthfire Fortress, but instead was covered with trees and weeds all over the mountains.

  Although it was already autumn and most of the trees had shed their leaves, Liu Yu felt that this place still had more vitality than the highlands, and even breathing felt smoother, probably due to the disappearance of the plateau's reflection.

  "Get down!" Geli shouted in a low voice, and the other five warriors immediately lay on the ground. Geli stretched out his hand and pointed forward slightly to the right, and one of the wolf tribe warriors understood, crawling forward to the right side of the team, Geli's intention was to let him observe the situation in front of Liu Yu and the others from a slightly higher place.

  The weeds on the plateau quickly and completely covered the figure of this wolf tribe warrior, and Liu Yue, who was still looking in the direction he disappeared, also gradually couldn't sense his existence. This is where the wolf tribe warriors are stronger than the Bi Mon warriors - their movements are all very agile, naturally skilled at lurking and ambushing, able to easily approach the enemy without making a sound.

  "Hsssst!" After a while, a voice like the cry of a wild beast came from the right front of Liu Yu and his men. This was the voice of the scouting team's transmission message, which meant that there were enemies ahead but not many. Liu Yu estimated that the enemy in front of them was also a border patrol scouting squad, just like theirs.

  Liu Yu and the others waited for a moment, and the wolf warrior did not make any sound. According to the scout team's habit, this meant that the enemy in front should have discovered them, so he could no longer speak out loud for safety.

  Geli pointed to a wolf warrior behind him, and the warrior immediately crawled backwards lightly. After crawling out for several meters, he hid in a bush and took out a small cylindrical object about half a foot long and as thick as an arm from his arms.

  As soon as the wooden lid of the cylinder was opened, a small green mouse scurried out from inside. The wolf warrior took out another thumb-sized white pill. The little mouse that had run out a few meters immediately ran back, swallowed the pill in one bite, and then rubbed against the wolf warrior's hand as if it were coquettish.

  The wolf warrior quickly took out a small paper roll tied to the hind leg of the little mouse, fed it a white pill and gently pushed the little mouse in the direction of the rear patrol of the main force. The little mouse ran back quickly, its speed was extremely fast, almost flashing two meters away.

  This is the way the Beast Tamer squad conveys messages over a short distance. The little mouse is a first-tier wind system magical beast, "Whispering Wind Mouse". Before the scouting team sets out, they will write down some notes such as "Support", "Withdrawal", "Major Enemy" and so on. If there's any situation where they are not far from each other, they will use the Whispering Wind Mouse to convey information, which is both stealthy and swift.

  Not far away, Liu Yu saw the movements of the Wolf Tribe warriors and thought to himself about some vanguard team knowledge that Ge Li had told him before.

  "Whoosh!" In this brief moment of distraction, Liu Yu sensed a strong air wave rushing towards them, and an arrow shot to just a few meters away from them.
