Black Knight From Blue Star

Chapter 194 Let’s take advantage of the situation

 Below the city of Kexilan.

 A continuous line of tents was erected, stretching out a long line.

 The sky is gloomy and the fog is falling.

 Outside the city are mountains and forests. When the fog falls, the temperature feels suddenly cold.

 In the largest handsome tent, Alkado Teutonic finally woke up.

But he had no energy, the strength in his body seemed to be exhausted, and there was something stuck in his throat. Whenever he took a breath, it was like a blade cutting back and forth inside.

 The pain is excruciating.

 Fortunately, a priest cast an "analgesic spell" from time to time, so he could barely speak.

At this time, he sat up, glanced around the people in the commander's tent, and asked: "Where are Franci and the Excellencies of Caldo?"

I have to ask, because Alkado knows very well that the two most powerful supporting armies will never let them leave.

 Otherwise, the Southern Army would not be able to stop it now.

“According to the information we received, they are still holding on to the previous front.” A general replied.

Alcado was stunned for a moment, and he immediately said: "Give me the map quickly."

 Then the map came into his hands. He looked at it, marked the locations of his people, and breathed a sigh of relief.

“As expected of the two most powerful countries, our strategic awareness is strong.”

Francie and Kaldo's defense lines changed from horizontal lines to vertical lines. This seemed to allow the enemy to pass, but everyone knew that it was impossible for them to stand up in a situation where all the troops fled. of.

Rather, they changed the defensive line in time, which made the Northern Army dare not mess around for the time being.

 Because the vertical defense lines of France and Kaldor were directly connected to the city of Kexilan, and then connected with the southern army, an L-shaped front was formed.

 The enemy's flanks were completely exposed to Francie and Kaldor.

This is also the reason why the Northern Army drove the Southern Army to the city of Kexilan, but did not attack in one go. Instead, it moved five kilometers eastward.

They were afraid of an attack by the two countries.

"Fortunately, it's not all bad." Alkado raised his head: "We still have hope. Wait, where are the generals of Hamans?"

There was silence in the handsome tent.

 No one dared to speak, for fear that Alcado would vomit blood and fall into coma again after hearing this.

“You won’t join the Northern Army like Aenolia, right?” Alcado asked with a trembling voice.

"No, they ran away, as if they were too embarrassed to stay on the battlefield any longer." A famous general replied.

 “It’s okay.” Alkado’s old face showed a happy expression.

 For him now, as long as the strength of the Northern Army is not increased, it is a good thing.

Hamans can leave as long as they leave. It would be easy to get in the way if they are left behind.

"It's just that I didn't expect that a great situation would end so trivially." Alkado sighed longly: "It's not the fault of the war, nor is it my fault."

 No one spoke in the handsome tent, probably because it was too quiet. Some strange sounds could even be heard, and it seemed that many people's stomachs were growling.

Alkado also heard it, frowned and asked: "You haven't eaten yet?"

　A group of people looked embarrassed.

When they escaped, they were just running and took almost no logistical supplies with them.

 For those who only have a few armies, remember to take food and escape.

 So in fact, the entire army is now short of food.

 “Let the city of Xilan make up for it,” said Alcado.

His adjutant shook his head: "Kexilan is not an economically important town, and they have supported us with food once before. Now they don't have much on hand, and it is impossible to support tens of thousands of people."

 “What about our logistics line?”

"We are already urging them." The adjutant continued: "Balik's people will promise to send a batch of food to the emergency within three days, and then they will think of a way." "Can our food last three days? ?”

The adjutant thought for a while and said: "If we use the gray orcs' food, we can survive for a few more days."

 When everyone heard this, they all frowned.

 Gray orcs usually eat melons and rice cereal, and they can still be full.

But on the battlefield, these things were not easy to preserve. What they ate was corn bran used to feed pigs. Although it was not delicious, it could fill their stomachs.

This food is for slaves to eat, let them eat it?

Everyone took a breath of air, how is this possible!

Just when everyone was helpless, someone suddenly spoke up.

"There is another way. The two supporting armies of France and Kaldo must have enough food, and we can ask them to send it over. There is no problem in holding on for more than ten days."

 Everyone felt that it made sense and looked happy.

Alcado snorted coldly: "This idea sounds good, but the problem is... Francie and Kaldo are not our army. They have to be responsible for their own soldiers, and most likely they are not willing to give up food. ”

 Everyone sighed.

“Besides, who is going to notify them?” Alcado raised the transmitter in his hand: “The place where they are is also outside the effective range of this thing…”

Because he spoke a little too loudly and was a little excited, Alkar's throat hurt again, and he couldn't help but cough twice.

At this time, a young general stood up and said, "I'll go!"

"you go?"

 “How do you break through the blockade of enemy scouts?” Alcado asked.

The young man smiled and said: "I am a wanderer!"

 Everyone’s expressions were astonished.

On the other side, Hardy led the scout team to patrol the outer defense line. When he was about to make camp, he saw Andrew of Kaldor also riding down from the high ground.

　　　Seems to be coming for yourself.

 Hardy was waiting for him where he was.

 After a while, Andrew arrived in front of him with a few people.

"Sir Hardy, we have received news here that the Northern Army has sent reinforcements. They will take the water route, but they will land at Long Beach Port. Are you interested in killing them?"

Hadi was slightly surprised: "You guys are really well informed."

 The Port of Long Beach is not far from here.

“It’s okay, we just have a few spies who have penetrated into the enemy.”

Hadi thought for a while and asked: "How many enemy troops are there? Could it be a trap?"

“With about 10,000 people, the possibility of traps should be low.” Kaldor said with a smile: “The most important thing is that this support army brings a lot of supplies.”

Hardy felt something was not right: "Since it is reinforcements and the landing place is Long Beach Port, why doesn't anyone from the Northern Army intend to respond? Aren't you afraid of being intercepted by us? Is there some fraud in this?"

“Sir Hardy, are you too cautious?”

Hardy looked into Andrew Spencer's eyes and said calmly: "It's better to be cautious."

"That's the intelligence passed by our most powerful spy..." Andrew believed in his own intelligence system, but Hardy's words also made him shaken: "Mr. Hardy, what you said seems to make sense."

Hardy chuckled: "But we can try to take a gamble and use the trick. Send one troop to Long Beach Port, and then send another troop to ambush on the road. If the Northern Army dares to send people over..."

Andrew's eyes lit up: "This is indeed good. We Kaldo will go to Long Beach Port as bait, and the ambush will be left to Mr. Hardy. Afterwards, the supplies will be divided in half."

"good!"

Hardy chuckled.

 You can never have too much military supplies.
