Chapter 431: Transportation and Troop Stationing
On the top floor of the hotel, Bai Hao was listening to Michelle's mission report, which was about the follow-up arrangements for the nearly 10,000 orc slaves purchased not long ago. Long before the wide-area out-of-body therapy experiment began, Bai Hao had already arranged the escort of the orc slaves in advance.
The distance between Scott and Campbell Territory is very far. Transporting nearly 10,000 orcs intact over such a long distance requires extremely complex and cumbersome logistics factors. It is necessary to control the cost of logistics and transportation while ensuring efficiency and safety.
Fortunately, as the capital of the Swart Empire, Scott and Campbell County had long established trade relations with local chambers of commerce, and many cheap and efficient trade routes had been opened up, which saved Bai Hao a lot of trouble.
Transportation is naturally carried out in a three-in-one method of land, sea and air. The Campbell family's business is spread across the three major human empires, and they have had a lot of cooperation with many logistics companies very early on. Naturally, they can rent a lot of affordable cargo beasts.
The air transport uses a mixed flying team of fire eagles and high-feathered beasts, which can transport about 3,000 orcs quickly to the territory of the Omo Empire. Some high-quality and high-quality orcs will have the opportunity to experience a flight.
Nearly six thousand orcs relied on more traditional land transportation. Bai Hao borrowed the way ordinary slave owners escorted slaves. The grass-feathered beasts that could not fly were the best driving force for the wooden carts.
However, Bai Hao specifically requested that all the wooden cages and iron frames above be removed. After all, these orcs are now the reserve forces of his Campbell army, and it is obviously inappropriate to treat them as escorted slaves.
The slowest water transportation is also a very cost-effective mode of transportation. The flat inland waterway is suitable for a small number of orc women and children who are weak and cannot withstand the bumps. In addition, Bai Hao also loaded some of the equipment he purchased from Scott onto the cargo ship.
"So far, none of the 3,123 orcs who first boarded the Fire Eagles and High Feathered Beasts have been killed. They crossed the northern border of the Swart Empire at noon yesterday and should have landed at the temporary base of the Campbell Army next to Viscount Garcia's territory!"
Bai Hao nodded after hearing this, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly showed an intriguing smile and asked: "How many troops are currently stationed at the temporary military base next to Viscount Garcia's territory?"
"Eighteen thousand two hundred and seventy-nine people," Michelle replied immediately without a smile, "including nine elite field regiments, totaling nine thousand people; three feathered beast light cavalry including scouts, totaling about fifteen hundred people; and the reserve regiment of the Marine Corps..."
The first time the Campbell Legion temporarily stationed troops was because Bai Hao was attacked by the Zangyuan Organization on the Earth Dragon Beast. Aisha urgently transferred the Sixth Legion of Campbell Territory and all the reserve forces to be stationed in Garcia Territory, but did not withdraw afterwards.
The second time the troops were deployed was because Bai Hao suddenly disappeared in the northern part of the Swart Empire. In order to conduct a carpet search, the Earl and Countess Campbell even directly mobilized the Campbell army that was fighting in the Central Plains countries.
Tens of thousands of Campbell's elite troops launched a search and rescue operation in the northern part of the Swart Empire. However, when Bai Hao was successfully found in Nannan Village south of Krey Territory, these tens of thousands of Campbell troops did not all return to the front line to fight. Instead, a small number of troops went north and continued to be stationed next to Viscount Garcia's Territory.
As a result, the Campbell family's temporary military base next to Garcia's territory has stationed nearly 20,000 troops, and it has been nearly half a year since Bai Hao disappeared, but the Campbell Legion still has not withdrawn.
Bai Hao was a little surprised when he heard Michelle's report. He couldn't help but ask, "What's Levi XVII's reaction? I remember that the constitutional nobles of the Omo Empire cannot temporarily station more than 10,000 troops, and they must withdraw within a month at most!"
This is already a serious violation of the noble garrison law of the Omo Empire. If the old emperor of the Omo Empire intends to make trouble, this temporary garrison incident will be the best excuse, and those who want to impeach Kulonan will definitely add insult to injury.
By then, in the council hall, all the nobles would seize the opportunity given by the old emperor and attack Earl Cullonan. Then his Campbell family would most likely be embarrassed. Bai Hao also did not think that the Campbell family was strong enough to turn against him directly.
"Haha, that old fox Levi XVII didn't react at all, but plunged headfirst into the quagmire of the Central Plains countries. He seemed to know that he was about to die, and now he is determined to expand the territory of the Omo Empire during his lifetime!"
Bai Hao did not relax after hearing this, and continued to think solemnly. Although his parents took advantage of the old emperor's lack of attention to the political situation, there is no turning back. If the war between the Central Plains countries ended too quickly, or if the old emperor died too early...
In any case, his Campbell family is too powerful, so powerful that it shines too brightly. Although his father Cullennan is a good politician, as long as the Campbell family wants to continue to develop and is not content with the status quo, it will inevitably affect the interests of the empire. There is nothing that can be done about it.
The Omo Empire was too small to contain the well-established Campbell family.
"We have to hurry!" Bai Hao glanced at the rolling white clouds outside the window. The dazzling light of the two suns appeared and disappeared in the gaps between the clouds. "Sooner or later, the three human empires will become a mess like the Central Plains countries. After all, the cake will be eaten one day."
Michel bowed and agreed. He always believed in his young master's vision. From a long time ago, this experienced old butler could no longer give Bai Hao any advice. Now he only needed to obey orders.
"Xiao Hao," Xing Lili knocked on the door and said softly, "Master Shiori from the Forging Association wants to see you. He's drinking tea on the first floor!"
Bai Hao frowned slightly when he heard this, but thinking that he would be leaving Scott soon, he thought it would be a good opportunity to say goodbye to Master Shiori.
