Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

"Send orders, clean the battlefield, and replenish food supplies! If you have medicines with high value, you can also take them away!"

After a clean raid, another small grain team was defeated by Li Wei. As usual, Li Wei's main goal was to kill and injure the enemy's combat troops, and he lightly spared the unarmed coolies.

"Lord Baron, I feel like something is wrong with the situation. The orcs seem to have changed their tactics." Villefort walked to Levi worriedly and raised his concerns.

Levi found a clean stone, sat down, held his forehead and said:

"It is indeed a bit troublesome. The size of the orcs' food team has become larger. After a few days of wandering, a suitable target was found, and the situation of the orcs' garrison in the stronghold has also changed.

Blood Claw can no longer provide accurate and real-time information. I think the orcs have rearranged their defense areas. Several strongholds we encountered were only garrisoned by ten orcs, and the garrison of another stronghold soared to more than 2,000 people.

The strategy of defeating them one by one is no longer effective. I want to stop for a while and do some reconnaissance and planning. It is best to capture a few more high-level prisoners to find out what the orcs want to do. "

------------

after one day.

"Lord Swain, we have just confirmed that a small food team was ambushed by the enemy in the seventh isolation area, and we have basically confirmed that the attackers were the previous group of humans.

In addition, in the fifth, sixth, and seventh isolation zones, lookout strongholds and temporary strongholds failed to report safety one after another. The fifth and sixth isolation zones have confirmed that the strongholds that did not report safety have been destroyed by the enemy.

The specific situation of the missing stronghold in the Seventh Quarantine Zone is currently unclear, but people have been sent to check it out. "

"Haha, it seems our little mouse can't help but show up. Let's see where he goes this time!

Send the order! Falling Star Valley and Zelin Ferry each mobilized 3,000 people, Yuelan Village allocated 2,000 people, and the other eight important strongholds each allocated 1,000 people.

The thirteen thousand-man troops drawn out must be stationed in the seventh, eighth, ninth, eleventh, thirteenth, fourteenth, sixteenth, eighteenth, and twenty-first positions respectively within two days. , 22nd, 23rd, 25th, and 26th temporary stronghold!

Be sure to trap the enemy in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth isolation areas!

All small grain teams have stopped transporting grain, and they are only allowed to pass through the fifth to eighth quarantine areas after merging into large grain teams!

The reserve team will deploy another 500 people for communication transmission, and ten more people will be stationed at each lookout point in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth isolation zones. The frequency of communication will be doubled to the original, and the survival situation will be reported in a timely manner. ! "

Swain turned around and said to a bearman beside him in the same tone as he treated his colleagues: "Commander Hank, the task of catching this rat falls on you."

"No problem. I have a centaur and warg mixed cavalry battalion and two infantry battalions under my command. I will split the cavalry battalion into three thousand-man cavalry brigades. As soon as the enemy shows signs, my cavalry will go over and hold them back. , the two infantry camps went over and were completely wiped out.

But Lord Swain, your pockets need to be made smaller and tighter. I looked at the map and found that it would be difficult to completely trap a high-quality, highly mobile cavalry in four isolated areas. "

"Don't worry about this. As time goes by, we will completely control the enemy's whereabouts. At that time, I will slowly adjust the encirclement according to the enemy's position and try to trap them in a small area."

------------

"Lord Baron, something is wrong, something is very wrong. During this period, we have cleared too many small strongholds with few people stationed there. I am worried that our position has been exposed with the destruction of these strongholds." He has been serving as peripheral security. Siegfried on the mission reported his opinions to Levi.

"Yes, these small strongholds are all in relatively good observation positions, and they are basically stationed by less than ten people. They can report the situation to their superiors every day.

If these small strongholds are left alone, they may discover our whereabouts and report them to their superiors. However, if these strongholds are eradicated, they will naturally stop reporting military information, and our whereabouts will still be exposed. "

"There is indeed a problem. In the past few days, the small grain teams have completely disappeared. Now only the large grain teams are left. I suspect that the orcs want to attack us." Levi stood next to the destroyed orc stronghold on the top of the mountain. Looking at the vast forest, I couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in my heart.

"Villefort, how many days do we have in stock?"

"Lord Baron, we still have eighteen days of food reserves!"

"Yaqis, if we go back to Xiaoyunshan Village now, how long will it take?"

"Boss, this depends on your marching speed and specific route. At the fastest, it only takes us three days to return to Xiaoyunshan Village. If we go back at a normal speed, it will take about four or five days."

"Let's go back to Xiaoyunshan Village first. Something is wrong this time."

The ominous premonition in Levi's heart became stronger and stronger, and he felt that someone was trying to catch him.

"Lord Baron, something bad has happened. Someone has been poisoned?" At this time, a low-level officer suddenly broke into Levi's sight and reported a very bad news.

"What's going on? Poisoning? Is it because you accidentally ate some wild plants?"

"No, sir, too many people have been poisoned, and many war horses have also been poisoned! This is not just a few people in a small area who accidentally ingested poisonous weeds!"

"what?"

"The exact number of poisoned soldiers is not clear yet, but it should be no less than one-tenth. After lunch today, many soldiers were suddenly poisoned, and they were poisoned in organized areas. More than a hundred war horses were also poisoned."

Only then did Levi realize the seriousness of the problem. He had never suffered such a serious loss since they took action.

[What went wrong? Why was he suddenly poisoned? Is there "miasma" in the Evernight Forest? 】

For a moment, Levi was a little at a loss.

"Aqis, will there be something in the Evernight Forest that could cause large-scale poisoning of humans and animals?"

"Boss, there are no things that can cause such large-scale poisoning in the places we pass by these days. It shouldn't be a problem in Yongye Forest."

Villefort on the side suddenly exclaimed: "Lord Baron, army rations! There is something wrong with the army rations! A considerable number of soldiers in our team today are using rations seized from orcs!"

Hearing this, Li Wei couldn't help but chuckle. If there was really a problem with the military rations taken away by the orcs, then there would be serious problems with the logistics supply of Li Wei's army.

The orcs' grain is poisonous, so they can only use the grain brought from Xiaoyunshan Village, so their grain storage is not eighteen days!
