Not far from the Dolagal border, hundreds of carriages formed a long queue on the road. Although each carriage was equipped with three strong horses, compared with the heavy grain and grass loaded on the carriage, it was still a bit strenuous and the speed could not be increased no matter what.
Pierre raised his head and glanced at the sky. He originally planned to enter the Moon Shadow Empire before noon, but now it was noon, and he was still more than fifty miles away from the border. If he continued at this speed, he didn't know when he would be able to catch up. Get on the army in front.
"Rest for fifteen minutes, take the time to eat, and then refresh yourself!" Pierre's order continued, and the soldiers jumped off the horse and began to move their numb legs. Although they did not need to walk on their own, they had to sit on the horse for a long time. The bumpy ride is never pleasant either.
A few minutes later, another caravan suddenly came up from behind. Pierre frowned. At this time, there were still people running to the Moon Shadow Empire to do business? He threw the remaining half piece of dried meat into his mouth, stood up and walked over. The soldiers also finished the food in their hands in three mouthfuls and followed Pierre.
"My lord, please do me a favor." The caravan obviously recognized Pierre as the leader of this group of warriors, and several people jumped down to greet him with smiles on their faces.
"Inspection." Pierre was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people. He waved his hand directly and immediately went up to several warriors to start looking through the caravan's vehicles.
After a while, the warriors came back and reported: "Sir, these are some daily necessities and some food."
While the warriors were inspecting the vehicles, Pierre was already observing the businessmen in front of him. It could be seen that the strength of the other parties was not very weak, but this was normal. It was a time of war. If there was no self-confidence to save one's life, who would You dare to come out and run around.
"We are just a small business, please take care of us." The businessmen smiled flatteringly.
"Small business?" Pierre sneered: "If these things are shipped in, I'm afraid they can be sold at sky-high prices, right?"
Since the coalition forces initially burned down many villages, and then the people who entered the Moon Shadow Empire fled one after another, the daily necessities and food transported by the merchants were extremely scarce resources near the border of the Moon Shadow Empire. It can be said that there is a price but no market.
"Where is Bili? After all, the people are innocent."
"Oh, so you are still doing good deeds?" Pierre laughed dumbly.
At this time, the soldiers saw that this was just an ordinary caravan, so they sat back lazily. They only had fifteen minutes of interest calculation time, and of course they were reluctant to waste it.
Originally, Pierre was ready to let them go. Speaking of which, the coalition forces had been searching for food and grass in the Principality of Dolagal during this period. It would be too much to not let them do business. But before Pierre could say anything, he suddenly discovered the caravan. Some of them seemed to be patrolling the grain truck intentionally or unintentionally. They couldn't help but feel wary, and their words changed to: "No, this is an emergency period. No one is allowed to enter or leave the border on their own!"
"I understand, I understand." The leader of the businessman agreed repeatedly, and took out a bulging small bag with no idea what it contained and stuffed it into Pierre's hand: "Isn't this just a matter of words?"
Pierre slapped the businessman's hand aside: "Don't do this with me."
Before Pierre could finish his words, the other hand of the leading businessman burst out with blazing fire. The distance between the two was really too close, and Pierre never expected that the businessman would dare to attack him. , caught off guard, he only had time to release the rock guard, and then the whole person was knocked away.
"Burn the car!" The leader of the businessman shouted coldly, and countless tongues of fire shot out from around him. Flames were everywhere for a while, and several figures jumped out from the bottom of the caravan's carriage, which turned out to be pure fire. Department of samurai.
Although Pierre was knocked out, his injuries were not serious. Seeing the grain trucks bursting into flames, his eyes were suddenly split. The soldiers responsible for escorting him also realized at this time that they all rushed forward and started fighting. Together.
There are only a few dozen people in the caravan, but there are more than 200 warriors responsible for escorting the grain trucks. Their combat effectiveness is completely disproportionate. But the key is that these people are not afraid of death, and they will not fight with Pierre and the others, even if they are beaten. Dozens of warriors gathered in the middle and wanted to set fire to the nearest grain cart before dying.
The battle ended quickly. Not long after, the attackers disguised as businessmen all fell into a pool of blood. With a pale face, Pierre commanded his water warriors to extinguish the flames. When the statistics came out, Pierre's My heart suddenly sank to the bottom. These people were obviously well prepared and had a clear division of labor. In a short period of time, half of Lou's food and grass were burned, and the remaining ones were wetted by water. If they couldn't If you dry it in time, I'm afraid it won't be edible anymore
Pierre stood there blankly looking at the mess. This was simply a sudden disaster. He didn't know how to explain it to the superiors. He only knew that his future had ended here.
A few days later, in the coalition's headquarters, Hoffman, Rambosben and others were discussing how to crack the combination of Tascent and Ryan. After studying for so long, no plan was foolproof, which made many strong The survivors have a headache. It can be said that as long as these two people are here, they dare not let go and fight with all their strength, because if they all come out, no one can guarantee that they can withstand the blow of extinction. There are few people, and it is impossible to be the opponent of Jun Tuming and others.
Schloss's guard suddenly walked in, holding a letter in his hand: "Sir, this is urgent from the rear."
Schloss took it over strangely. What could happen in the rear at this time? But after just glancing at the contents of the letter, Schloss's eyebrows immediately knitted together: "What do they do for food? Dozens of people destroyed the grain truck?!"
Hoffman and others took the intelligence and read it over, and they all found it a bit incredible. Jun Tuming's actions would only slow down the advance of the coalition forces at most, and would not have any impact on the final battle situation. As for the food problem, , if it doesn't work, you can still find a way within the Moon Shadow Empire. The reason why I didn't snatch food in the Moon Shadow Empire before was because there was no need. Since Jun Tuming did such a thing, they can't be blamed.
"Mr. Vasily, last time you said that we should advance to the imperial capital as quickly as possible?" Lambosben suddenly asked.
¡°Last time it was just my feeling.¡± Vasily smiled: ¡°And this time, it¡¯s almost certain.
"decide what?"
"Jun Tuming doesn't want us to go to the Imperial Capital, at least not now. Jun Tuming's fighting style has always been to pursue the thrill of crushing. I've known him for so long, and this is the first time I've seen him do anything like this. pole."
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Lambosben exchanged glances with Hoffman and Presley, and they all saw the heartbeat in the other's eyes.
"Schloss, send someone to collect grain revolutionaries nearby." Hoffman gave the order directly.
"Okay, Your Majesty." Schloss stood up and walked out of the commander's tent. A quarter of an hour later, hundreds of squads emerged from the coalition forces and rushed to nearby villages and towns. The so-called recruitment was actually robbery, but at the moment Who cares so much.
An hour later, the warriors brought back good news. They discovered two not-too-large granaries. The food problem of the coalition forces was temporarily solved, but the daily food and drink expenses for the 150,000-strong army were terrifying. The number of grain and fodder in the rear cannot keep up. If they are collected nearby, it will also affect the speed of the army's advance.
Since the top leaders of the coalition forces had made the decision to rush to the imperial capital as soon as possible, Schloss had no choice but to send a large number of men to search forward in a fan-shaped manner. In this way, the small amount added up to a large amount, and he could barely maintain the consumption of the army.
This situation continued until the coalition forces arrived at Corian City, seven hundred miles away from the capital of the Moon Shadow Empire. The huge Corian City had already been relocated. Not to mention food, not even a grain of rice could be seen. In this case, the nearby villages and towns were also deserted, which meant that Jun Tuming actually used the method of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields to cut off the supplies of the coalition forces.
Schloss was furious and sent out a team of 20,000 people. This time it was not just for the looting of granaries. It was far away from the imperial capital. Those civilians who had not had time to evacuate were suddenly in bad luck. The crops in the fields were still in danger. It was not the harvest season yet, and the little food was snatched away by the coalition forces. This was not much different from killing them. Even if they were forced hard, some civilians spontaneously organized to resist, but they could not fight for too long. The warriors who have gone through battle can only end up losing their lives in vain.
While the warriors of the coalition forces were looting everywhere, in the palace of the Moon Shadow Empire, Jun Tuming looked at Meredith expressionlessly: "Tonight that thing will break out of its cocoon. How to find it?" Is it done?"
Cold sweat broke out on Meredith's forehead. He wanted to tell Jun Tuming that the two-month deadline had not yet come, but looking at Jun Tuming's gloomy eyes, he did not dare to say it anyway.
"It seems that I have too high expectations for you." Jun Tuming sighed: "Do you still remember what I told you at the beginning?"
Meredith swallowed hard: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, give me a little more time"
"Haha, I want to give you time, but who can give me time?" Jun Tuming chuckled: "But it's only noon now, you still have a few hours to prepare, I hope it won't happen, I don't want to Things to see.¡±
Meredith walked out of the hall dejectedly,The bright sunshine fell in Meredith's eyes, but they looked extremely gloomy. At this moment, he was extremely jealous of Dewey's mad dog. Why could he practice in the underground palace, but he had to do such a thankless job outside? matter? !
Meredith, who was trapped in self-pity, was so focused that the warrior next to him called him several times without hearing him. It wasn't until the warrior carefully reached out his hand to pull him that Meredith reacted. He looked at his men listlessly: "What's the matter?"
"My lord, there is a letter from Carol."
Redis responded subconsciously and continued to move forward, but after a few seconds, Meredith's body froze there and slowly turned her head to look at the warrior: "What did you say? !¡±! .
