    December 1st.  ＠乐＠文＠小＠说| 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Around the sky was overcast, and the cold wind penetrated the armor along the gaps. Soldiers rubbing their hands and stamping their feet could be seen everywhere on both sides of the camp.  King Naqini rode past, knowing that there was no need to delay.  If the delay continues, all it takes is one snowfall to freeze the roads behind. Even if the weather clears and the snow melts, the muddy roads will significantly reduce the capacity of the logistics fleet.  "Have you finished counting the grain and fodder reserves in the army?" King Nachini turned around and asked. He was accompanied by the frontline commander Catroman and several civil and military officials. The group rode out of the camp and bypassed the city of Severa towards the city.  Go south.  Today, they will conduct their last pre-war survey.  Two squads of "Golden Hibiscus" knights spread out their formations to both sides, forming a wing-shaped martial law.  But they don't need to be so careful. On the night of Severa's attack, the Lion King has already demonstrated the strength of the legendary realm. Even though it is slightly inferior to Cat Roman, it is far superior to ordinary high-level warriors.  "According to the current supply system, the army's food and grass can barely supply seven days. If emergency supplies are included during this period, it can be extended to ten days." An official from the Ministry of Finance quickly replied.  "What if we fully supply it to ensure that the soldiers can have enough to eat?" King Nachini asked in a deep voice. Of course he knew that the so-called "current supply system" has only two meals a day, one dry and one thin, and the soldiers at the bottom cannot fill it up at all.  abdomen.  "It will take up to seven days to report back to the king." The official made some calculations and came up with the answer.  He is from the Ministry of Finance.  Especially good at mental arithmetic.  "Leave four days of army rations and send all the rest to the Western Route Army. This should be enough for them to support them for a while." King Naqini said decisively, "In addition, send a letter to tell Ebert that before the first snowfall, the troops must  The Erm mercenaries rushed back to their hometown. " "Yes" Seeing Catroman nodding in agreement, the two officials turned their horses and ran towards the camp.  The king and the commander-in-chief of the front line gave orders at the same time.  There is no room for negotiation.  "Are you worried? What will we eat in four days?" Seeing that the accompanying officials looked worried, King Nachini pointed at Severa City with his whip and said with a heroic smile, "The food and grass in the city are enough to supply our army.  It will take half a year, so why should we be afraid?” The officials were obedient, but they didn’t think so.  The city of Severa has thick walls and well-equipped soldiers. How can it be captured in a short time?  Even if the central route army attacks fiercely at all costs, it will take at least half a month.  What's more, the Guangming New Army has launched a battle formation on the other side of the river, clearly planning a decisive battle with the Southern Expeditionary Army.  After the battle, the two armies were exhausted.  The enemy can take advantage of the situation and retreat into the city to rest, but what about the southern expeditionary army?  Braving the severe cold and fighting to the death to attack the city, there was no food left in the camp.  There is no spare capacity in logistics. Do we have to force the soldiers to fight on an empty stomach?  "Your Majesty, should we conceal the news that there is no food in the army?" Suniya rolled his eyes and stepped forward and asked.  The civilians and military officers next to him all looked sideways.  Secretly laughing at his stupidity, this information was not hidden from the soldiers.  What to do if a riot breaks out.  "Spread this news as much as possible and tell the soldiers that if you cannot capture the city of Severa, you will have to bury your bones in a foreign land," King Nachini thought seriously for a moment and ordered, "In addition, order the Military Law Department to inspect the whole country.  Anyone who incites panic in the military will be punished according to military law to stabilize the morale of the military. "His two contradictory orders made the officials look at each other in confusion, not knowing whether to accept it or not."  reject.  On the contrary, it was Sonia who obeyed the order without hesitation and immediately returned to camp to arrange the matter.  King Nachini smiled slightly and explained, "In three days, our army will have a decisive battle with the enemy. Even if there is a little commotion, it will not affect the overall situation. As long as the battle is successful, such trivial matters are of no importance."  The officials all nodded in agreement, but all this was based on "success in the first battle." If the victory in the first battle failed, how should King Nachini clean up the defeat?  "Everyone, please follow me to observe the formation." King Nachini clapped his horse and moved forward, with his blond hair flowing and his heroic appearance.  He stood by the Ma River and once again looked at the enemy's formation in the distance, his lips pursed tightly.  In this battle, victory is allowed but defeat is not allowed.  Severa City, Grand Duke's Palace.  Grand Duke Ian was leaning on the soft brocade bed in Nuan Pavilion, his eyes were dull and he didn't know what he was thinking.  During this period, the Archduke once again experienced painful choices.  Not long ago, Inedil turned the tide of the war in one fell swoop, which made him terrified. He was afraid that his secret defection to Snowdon would be exposed, and then he would be tied to the stake and end his miserable life.  Between concealing the truth and surrendering, Archduke Ian wavered and called Viscount Reims many times to ask which side was more likely to win.  Fortunately, Viscount Reims was a determined man and advised him not to change his mind.  Slowly, His Highness the Grand Duke also calmed down, and he simply handed over all the relevant matters toWhile Si took care of it, he stayed in the Grand Duke's mansion and concentrated on two things.  The first is to live and drink, and the second is to curry favor with Miss Amélie.  “After all, during the few days he hid in Severa City, King Nachini’s love for the girl was fully revealed. Maybe one day the girl will reach the sky in one step, and Archduke Ian will naturally have to prepare early.  He drank a glass of fruit wine and burped comfortably.  This warm pavilion is built on the water, and you can see the clear water and clear waves from the window.  When winter comes and the snow falls, you can drink wine and enjoy the snow here. There are charcoal placed in the copper grid under your feet, which makes you feel warm and unique.  "This wine is good. I sent two bottles to Miss Amélie and told her to try it." Archduke Ian put down the wine glass and casually ordered.  The thin steward standing at the door bowed in response, turned and left.  Not long after, the door of the pavilion was pushed open again. With the clanging sound of armor plates, Viscount Lance, dressed in military uniform, walked in, took off his helmet, and wanted to salute.  "No courtesy, no courtesy," Archduke Ian sat up and greeted enthusiastically, "Come and drink a glass of wine to get rid of the coldness on your body." Thanks to that bloody battle, Lance is now the entire Severa  He is the commander of the city defense and holds a high position of power. At the same time, he is also the most reliable and trusted minister of Grand Duke Ian.  "Yes, Your Highness." Viscount Lance took off his sword and sat down respectfully.  His performance made Archduke Ian very satisfied. He waved away the waiter, poured him a glass of wine himself, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any news over there?" "It will be launched in three days," Lance leaned over  He came forward and replied softly, "When the time comes, I will send troops to protect the Grand Duke's Palace. His Highness only needs to wait quietly in the palace for good news." "Lance, what do you think we have, what are our chances of winning?" Grand Duke Ian held his hand.  His hand, he asked nervously.  "Don't worry, Your Highness," Lance's eyes were firm and his voice was deep and powerful, "I will try my best."
