Chapter 197 March
After Roland had a brief conversation with Locke and before the battle began, Roland had nothing to do except daily military affairs.

Although Roland thought about building some relationships with other forces, after thinking for a long time, he gave up the idea.

After all, this was his first time participating in a collective action of the Locke Resistance. He didn't know much about the internal situation of the Locke Resistance and the various semi-independent military forces, and he didn't know who would be his target for winning over.

Moreover, as the newest military force, Roland had no military merits and naturally no fame. He might not even be able to enter the gates of other camps, so how could he build relationships with other military forces?

Therefore, after much thought, Roland chose to stay in his camp instead of running around.

Instead of wasting time on something that might be useful but most likely useless, Roland thought it would be better to practice making more alchemical potions.

After all, the one they were going to kill was a greenskin warlord, so more preparation was better than no preparation at all. Moreover, maybe by then, Roland could use alchemical potions to save the wounded from other military forces of Locke's resistance.

In addition, because the legionnaires were well-trained and Roland had stressed the military rules several times for making a mistake in the alert level, the legionnaires stayed within their own camp and rejected all non-military personnel who approached them. They did not engage in gambling or prostitution like the other soldiers.

While Roland was silently refining the medicine, the remaining military forces of Locke's resistance army took more than ten days to arrive here.

On September 9, just one month after Roland arrived in the area, following Locke's order, all the military forces of the Locke Resistance Army, which had just rested, finally moved.

Since the Locke Resistance is a very loose military alliance, although Locke was elected as the leader because of his prestige, his military orders often need to be negotiated with other powerful military forces. Of course, Roland, who has not yet shown his edge, is not currently one of the powerful military forces. He can only obey orders and is not qualified to sit at the table.

However, as a loose military alliance, the Locke Resistance does not have a clear hierarchical relationship. Except for Locke headquarters and other recognized powerful military forces, the leaders of other military forces are basically at the same level, and no one is qualified to command anyone.

Therefore, except for the headquarters force led by Locke himself and heading straight for the location of the greenskin warlord, the remaining military forces basically all fought on their own according to the task scope assigned by Locke.

After watching Locke's headquarters leave, Roland did not waste time and rushed to the mission area with 50,000 troops.

At the beginning, there were some military forces moving in the same direction, but as they continued to go deeper, these military forces disappeared one by one in front of Roland.

When Roland arrived at the mission area, there was only one military force left.

While commanding the troops to set up camp on the spot, Roland looked suspiciously at another military force that was also setting up camp in the distance.

Compared with Roland's army dominated by infantry, this military force is almost a pure cavalry army.

According to Roland's perception, this was a cavalry unit with nearly 10,000 cavalrymen, of which more than 3,000 were elite cavalrymen. Most of them had practiced breathing techniques and had better physical fitness than ordinary people. In addition, there were also many first- to third-ring knights. The remaining 7,000 cavalrymen were just ordinary mortal cavalrymen. However, from the elemental traces captured from them, it seemed that they had already begun to learn breathing techniques.

Of course, these were not the main reasons that attracted Roland's attention. What Roland cared about most was the black knight who led them.

She was wearing a set of black armor that covered her entire body, with a white belt tied around her waist. She also wore a red and blue striped cloak on her back. Through the transparent protective material at the eyes of the helmet, Roland saw a pair of light blue, determined eyes.

The two of them nodded and greeted each other from a distance.

If my perception is correct, she is a fourth- or fifth-ring mid-level knight.

Roland looked away, thinking thoughtfully. Why send a mid-level knight here instead of sending him to the main battlefield? Is he here to supervise me?

Come to think of it, this outfit looks a little familiar.

Thinking about the Black Knight's attire, Roland recalled a plot illustration about Donnar that he had seen in his previous life.

The black knight was alone, holding high the torn flag of the Allied Forces, and turned into a bolt of lightning, rushing without hesitation into the green tide that was constantly surging from the ground.

She seemed to be one of the knights who chose to die in battle instead of fleeing to Donnar after Kan'ozu raised the Green Tide and destroyed the Allied Forces.

Roland put this person on his list of people to be won over.

If she is a determined, powerful, talented, fanatical revenge seeker, then we have to find a way to win her over.

According to the information Roland knew about Donnar, these knights who died in the battle were basically the most staunch members of the Border Region faction.

There are currently three factions in Donnar: the Border Faction, the Vanguard Faction, and the Speculator Faction.

The Border Faction is mainly composed of frontline warriors and knights who are eager to take revenge on the Green Tide and regard revenge on the Greenskins as their life motivation.

The vanguard is mainly a local force that aims to rebuild Donnar and try to restore order.

The outsiders, or speculators, are mainly outsiders who aim to gain benefits and try to make huge profits from the collapse of Donnar.

If Roland wants to achieve his goal, then it goes without saying who he wants to win over. The Border Area Faction is his best choice. As long as they can beat the Green Tide, no matter what, the Border Area Faction will support him.

As for the avant-garde, you can try to win them over, but as for the speculators, you can only expel them or use them.

While Roland was thinking, he also began to send out reconnaissance teams to collect specific intelligence on the mission area.

Although we learned some information from Locke in advance, the greenskin tribes would not stay where they were forever, and we didn't know how long the information provided by Locke had been outdated.

The number of greenskins in this area may be similar to the information provided by Locke, but their locations are not certain.

Looking at the scout cavalry running out of the camp in the distance, Odin frowned slightly.

As a fourth-level knight, she keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Her eyes glowed blue, and then she looked at the horses under the cavalrymen's crotches.

Through the warhorse's skin, she saw a ball of fire jumping continuously inside the horse's body.
