Give Me the Name of God

After some careful weighing, the Leo woman chose to burn down the dock.

She knew the seriousness of the matter, and after the soldiers poured the oil, she stepped forward to light the fire herself.

I did it. The most Manda could do was give me a good beating. Even if he chopped off my hands, it wouldn't be a big deal. No matter how severe the punishment, I could withstand it. Anyway, he was not willing to take my life. The lion girl held up the torch. Lost on the dock.

Looking at the blazing flames, Roma gestured in sign language, and Eudora translated: You are a brave woman.

The lion girl smiled and said: A woman who is not brave enough is not worthy of Manda.

…

When he learned that the dock was destroyed, Shelty was furious. He broke the strings, threw the guitar aside, and said angrily: Immediately send troops to search. Before dawn, we must find the enemy's whereabouts, leave no one behind, and annihilate them all. .”

Brayton bowed deeply and took the order and left.

Tong Kede said from the side: Grand Duke, our fleet transporting food is still on the way and will arrive at the port tomorrow.

Shelty frowned and said: There is no port anymore, so what's the use of talking about it? Send it over in batches by small boat.

In the absence of a dock, large ships cannot approach the shoals and can only be transported by small boats.

But there are no boats in Tong Kede's fleet. If they go to Miaoyin City to mobilize them, it will take almost a month to go back and forth. There is not much food in the camp, and they can only eat for four or five days.

Of course, we can no longer complain to the Grand Duke about this kind of thing. The top priority is to recruit boats from the surrounding fishermen and let the soldiers rush to build a batch of small boats. Tong Kede can handle this matter by himself and cannot let the Grand Duke worry about everything.

Shelty stood on the tower, looking at the Parrot City in the distance.

His fists were clenched so tightly that he really wanted to give the order to attack the city.

But now is not a good time to attack the city. Parrot City has been reinforced by Manda, the city wall is higher than before, and the ordnance on the city head is also very sophisticated, making it very difficult to attack by force.

If you can detect the whereabouts of reinforcements, grasp their movements, and divide your forces to ambush the reinforcements during the siege, this is a successful encirclement and reinforcement tactic.

If the whereabouts of the reinforcements are not discovered, you can temporarily stop the situation. Even if the defenders leave the city to fight with the reinforcements, you will still be considered to have an advantage. After all, the opponent has given up the huge advantage of the city.

But if you don't know the enemy's movements and attack the city rashly, this becomes the lowest choice. The enemy still has the advantage of the city, and Sheltai has to face the enemy at any time while carrying out a difficult siege. sneak attack.

The battle-hardened Grand Duke Shelty quickly calmed down. There was still time and food. He believed that Tong Kede could solve the shipping problem and that Breton would definitely be able to find the whereabouts of the reinforcements.

After capturing Parrot City and retaking Crisp Rock Mountain, Shelty will mobilize more soldiers to fight all the way to Blackwater City.

At that time, Al will be violently escorted to Besaliu and let him redeem the entire southwest.

If Bessaliu readily agrees, Shertai will support the second prince Ticas as the new king.

If Besalius did not agree, Sheltai would force Al to the royal capital, directly declare allegiance to the God's Punisher, and conquer the southwest in the name of the archbishop.

Originally, he had always looked down upon this poor land, but since he lost the supply of iron ore, he suddenly changed his mind. He suddenly felt that this land was worth cherishing.

…

Tong Kede led the soldiers to buy fishing boats from fishermen's homes along the coast.

When it comes to acquisitions, Tong Kede will not give them too much money. The most he can give them is a few silver coins for a ship. This is the rule of the army. Under any circumstances, resources must be obtained in the cheapest way. There is no direct use of robbery. , they are already merciful.

But fishing boats are the lifeblood of fishermen. Not to mention a few silver coins, even a few gold coins may not be willing to take action. During the acquisition of fishing boats, many conflicts broke out between soldiers and civilians, which also exposed Tong Kede's intentions.

Lion Girl received the news and guessed what the enemy was thinking: Without a port, they can only rely on small boats to transport supplies.

Toca said: Their soldiers are still collecting wood everywhere.

The lion girl nodded and said, This is to build a boat.

After speaking, she looked at Roma.

Roma gestured in sign language: We are going to burn the boat, preferably before launching it into the water.

The lion girl pinched Roma's cheek: I like you more and more.

Roma looked at the graceful figure of the lion girl, and was trying to find a suitable place to pinch it, when she suddenly saw a soldier coming to report: General Siegsel's reinforcements have arrived.

The lion girl said happily: How many people are here.

About a hundred people. The soldier was a little embarrassed.

A hundred people? The lion girl gritted her teeth and said, I told Siegsel that if you don't have the manpower, you don't have to force yourself. What does it mean to send a hundred people? Is it humiliating me?

Chuit, a full-level disciple of the God of Deception, walked into the camp and said with a smile: It's hard to hide from Shelty's eyes when there are so many people. These one hundred people are all my elites.

…

Three days later, Grand Duke Shelty received bad news. More than a hundred rafts that Tong Kede led the soldiers to build day and night were all burned by the enemy.

He called Tong Kede to the camp and cursed in front of the officers.

So you have achieved nothing in these three days? So you have done nothing in these three days! Your stupidity really makes me intolerable! Shelty gritted his teeth and looked at Tong Kede.

Tong Kede originally didn't want to tell Sheltai about this, but he didn't know which shameless villain leaked the secret. He quickly explained to Sheltai: You don't have to worry, I have also purchased a lot of fishing boats, and I will definitely be able to transport the food back.

Sheltai said with a cold expression: I heard that many fishing boats were also destroyed.

Tong Kede's face was covered in sweat. He didn't expect that the Grand Duke even knew about this: Some fishing boats were indeed destroyed. Among the enemies were followers of Apollo and followers of Vulcan. They only attacked one or two boats on the shore at a time. We cannot guard against fishing boats...

Are you on guard? What can you guard against? Aren't you surprised by your own stupidity? The grain ship has arrived, what are you using to transport grain!

Tong Kede said: I still have some fishing boats.

how many?

More than a dozen ships, Tong Kede's voice was so low that he was even embarrassed to speak. Each ship can carry two to three hundred pounds of grain.

Two or three hundred? Are you talking about a boat or a canoe? Shelty shouted, We have transported a total of 400,000 pounds of food. The army consumes more than 20,000 pounds of food every day. When will these dozen small boats be transported?

Tong Kede remained silent. In fact, these dozen small boats were enough to solve the problem. In one round trip, they could transport nearly 4,000 pounds of grain. It only took five round trips to transport back the army's day's rations, allowing the sailors to transport around the clock. , the pick-up and unloading task can be completed within a few days.

But Sheltai was already angry, so Tong Kede naturally did not dare to argue.

Shelty turned to look at General Breton: You haven't found any traces of the enemy yet?

The approximate location has been found. Brayton did not disappoint Shelty. He pointed to the sand table. Between Green Anaconda Town and Parrot City, there is a forest. The scouts have seen enemy troops coming in and out many times around the forest. It can be We are sure that the enemy is in the woods. Please give me two more days so that we can detect the exact location of the enemy.

Shelty stared at the sand table for a moment, shook his head and said, Stop checking. The enemy is very cunning. If we continue checking, we will alert the enemy. This forest is not big. Let's bring more men and horses to directly surround the enemy.

You said encirclement... Brayton was stunned. The concept of encirclement means having two to three times more troops than the opponent.

We can't leave the opponent a chance to escape. They are as disgusting as flies! Shelty gritted his teeth and said, Choose eight thousand soldiers and follow me tonight.

Grand Duke, as a result, there are less than four thousand people left in Parrot City.

Isn't it enough? Shelty looked at Parrot City and said, I'm looking forward to them coming out. If they want to escape, let them escape. If they dare to fight, then fight them!

Shertai indeed has this confidence, and his soldiers are famously tough throughout the Romulu Kingdom.

He is not worried that Parrot City's army will leave the city for a surprise attack. Even if there are only four thousand troops left, he can make the enemy's army never return.

That night, he led eight thousand troops to the vicinity of the woods. As Breton said, there were horse hooves and footprints here, which was obviously where the enemy's camp was.

Continuing to move deeper into the jungle, they saw the embers of many fires, and the surrounding trees also showed signs of being cut down.

It seems that the enemy camp is not far away.

After walking for a while, a stove pit appeared on the ground. As I continued walking, the smell of a campfire spread in the air.

When they were approaching the center of the jungle, they saw the light of fire in the distance.

Shelty quietly drew his sword and whispered to the messenger: Tell all the soldiers not to wait for orders. If you see the enemy, kill them without mercy!
