On the morning of June 4, after returning to the walled city, Pedi immediately issued an order to draw elites from the three camps to form a thousand-man brigade, with Bud, the captain of the first brigade of the former Cologne Fortress garrison recommended by Sir Ike, as the captain.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the team set off from a mountain stream trail east of Kanyakan Pass in the name of training.

An hour and a half later, they arrived near the barbarian frontier camp in the north of the Kanya Pass, and successfully passed through the originally very well-defended blockade line.

Half an hour later, arrive at the flank of Lake Hamik.

During this time, a soldier asked Bud why he didn't meet the barbarian patrols.

He laughed and said, "Because the goddess is watching me tonight." ”

The soldier believed it.

At three o'clock in the morning,

Most of the soldiers in the rear camp of the barbarians have rested, and most of the patrol soldiers are chatting and passing the time in their fixed places.

Everything seems to be no different from the past,

Suddenly, the dark sky was printed red,

The earth-shattering shouts of killing woke the officers and soldiers of the barbarian districts and battalions from their sleep,

But, almost everyone doesn't know what's going on,

Not to mention them, even Prince Nulif, nothing keeps happening.

The earth-shattering shouts and the roasted red sky told them that someone was attacking an area of the barracks, and a fire was burning near them.

And the direction in which the fire burns is precisely the place where the army's grain and grass are hoarded!

Half an hour later,

Prince Nuliv learned the specific information: the half-month rations that had just arrived in the rear were burned by this fire, and the 3,000 defenders of the camp were all wiped out!

When support arrives,

It's already late!

The army that attacked the camp had long since disappeared, the 3,000 defenders had turned into carbon slag, and the half-month supply of the 50,000-strong army had become smoke and dust.

Annick, the logistics officer, is called to Prince Nuliv and asks about him, the younger brother of Prince Nulif's favorite Mei Ji.

In the kingdom of Baru, in their laws, a man can openly own more than one woman.

"For your sister's sake, I'll give you a chance to explain!" Prince Nuliv suppressed the anger in his heart, but he said this not just because of Alnick's sister, but because of the other party's clan.

So, when the prince said this, he looked at a general who was very close to him.

"There were a thousand people on the other side, and it was a sneak attack from the left flank of the barracks, where there should have been a patrol of 100 people. Alnick lowered his head at the moment, and he was no longer as arrogant as he used to be.

"You have 3,000 men in your hands, and you were wiped out by a team of 1,000 men in just half an hour!" said the general next to Prince Nuliv coldly, "You should be executed." ”

"Abba!" Alnick felt a chill rise from his spine to the top of his head.

"Shut up, there is no Abba of yours here, only Nairu, the patriarch of the Baya tribe!" the general's tone was stern, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, followed by determination.

Annick's face changed when he heard this, he could no longer care about fear, and looked up at Prince Nulif, at this moment, the prince also looked at him coldly, that look was already looking at a private person.

Seeing this, Alnick's heart beat straight up,

He looked at the other generals, all of whom usually had a good relationship with him, and some of them even grew up together.

But at this time, some of them are avoiding, and some of them are directly sneering.

Nuliv didn't want to sleep too many nights, someone had to be held accountable for the burning of the army's grain and grass, even if he trusted Alnik on a regular basis, and this place could no longer be protected.

Thinking of this, Nuliv stood up suddenly, picked up the huge mace that was one and a half meters long next to the seat, and walked towards Alnick,

"Your Royal Highness!" Alnick looked at Prince Nulifu approaching with a mace in his hand, and at the same time, the other party's unreserved killing intent made the fear in his heart spread to his entire body like a tide, and the instinctive desire to survive made him subconsciously want to justify, but the fear made his entire mouth tremble, and he couldn't say anything to his mouth,

"Like a man!" roared Naru, he hadn't thought his son would be like this.

Alnick shuddered from his father's yell, and fell to his knees with his legs limp, his head shrugged like a dog.

Prince Nuliv approached with two steps, and did not care at all about Annick's pitiful appearance, because his heart had already been trained to be harder than iron,

The mace "whirred" as Prince Nulif's hands danced, and in a burst of firelight, Alnick's head was shattered.

"Pull it out!" Nairu's eyes flashed, and he commanded the two generals of the Baya tribe.

Immediately, two middle-aged generals wearing deerskin cloaks came out of the ranks, bowed to Prince Nulif, and then dragged Alnick by the arms to the outside of the tent.

Prince Nulif returned to his seat on the top of his high stairs with a blank face, glanced at the many generals in the camp with scrutinizing eyes, and asked, "What about the imperial army that attacked us?"

"After a brief engagement with our flank camp, we fled into the southern mountains of Cania before reinforcements arrived. Perov, the patriarch of the Barkorin clan, answered Prince Nulif's question.

"So, how did this force get to the rear of our camp?" the Prince's gaze lingered briefly on Pelov, then moved to the body of the Hiroki clan chief Quimper standing across from him,

The prince was asking him this question, because his troops were responsible for blocking the main passage at the bottom of the Cannia Mountains.

Quimper tightened the thick cloak on his body, and said stubbornly: "Your Highness, I will definitely go back and investigate clearly!"

"No need!" Prince Nuliv put the bloodstained mace back in place, and then said coldly, "Throw tonight's patrol officer into Mount Kannia to feed the wolves, and all the officers in charge will sink into Lake Hamik!"

"We'll go back now!" said Quimper's eldest son, Haqada, who immediately stepped out of the ranks and agreed before his father could speak.

But Prince Nulif ignored Haqada at all, and looked directly at Quimper with a pair of cold eyes.

After Quimper heard Prince Nulif's words, the muscles in his body instantly collapsed, and the gazes of the patriarchs of other nearby tribes fell on him, making his face feel like he was being roasted by fire.

He wanted to refuse the order,

Because, the officers of the patrol are the most promising young people in the tribe, and even most of them are totemic warriors!

But he knew he couldn't refuse, so he hesitated.

Beside him, the sound of his son's heavy breathing reminded him not to be impulsive.

"They won't survive noon today!" said Patriarch Quimper finally relented.

"Yes!" said a simple sound from the Prince's middle nose.

Then

A series of running sounds sounded outside the camp, accompanied by several shouts: "Military newspaper!"

The sound made Prince Nulif's temples flutter imperceptibly, and the others couldn't help but look at the curtain of the tent.

"Your Highness, military report!" came the voice of the captain of the guard outside the door.

"Let people in!"

The curtain of the tent opened, and the scout, dressed in leather armor, came in as the cold wind poured in, and as soon as he saw Prince Nulif, he shouted: "Your Highness, the camp near the Kannia Pass has been attacked, and the outer line of defense has been lost!"

The words of the scout caused an uproar among everyone in the camp,

Even the face of Kebot in the corner changed slightly, he looked at the inquiry cast by Prince Meru and shook his head quietly, this was not the original plan.

"How many are there?"

"About three thousand!" said the scout.

The generals in the camp tent were immediately relieved when they heard this, and Kebot was also relieved.

"Damn the Imperials, this is covering their retreat from the mountains of Kanya!" Prince Nuliv looked at Nairu and said, "Nairu, let your troops go to support." ”

Naru was immediately ordered to leave the tent with the scouts.

After Nairu left, Prince Nuliv seemed to be very tired, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

And the many generals in the camp stood cautiously in place,

This happened a lot between Nuliv and his generals – the boss was thinking about things, and his subordinates were quietly waiting for the manager's decision.

It doesn't seem like a problem,

But there seems to be a problem.

A few minutes later, Prince Nulifu opened his eyes, squeezed his fingers fiercely on the right side of his head and beat his temples, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, what should I do now, the rations of the various camps can last for a day at most, do you retreat? ”

This time, as he did last time, he did not give his own opinion, but hoped for the advice of his subordinates.

"Of course, we have to continue to fight, I think we still have a chance to win, according to the information from the orcs, the fortress of Anku has been breached by them, and now the main force of the empire will not care about us at all, so as long as the 10,000 imperial army south of the Cannia Mountains is broken, the northern territory of Twak is in your pocket!"

This was the opinion of Hemai, the patriarch of the Tara tribe.

"But what about our supplies, so that our soldiers fight on empty stomachs?" said Perov, the patriarch of the Baklin clan, worriedly.

"Send someone back to collect it!" said the patriarch of Hemai, after a heartbreak, "the remaining day's rations in each camp should be used for three days, and what we need to do is to collect another half a month's rations within these three days." ”

"Return?" Patriarch Pelov disagreed, "Now, the women and old men of our tribe can only eat one meal a day, and if they go on the expedition, they can only eat one meal every two days, you know, our logistics are counting on them, if we starve them to death, within twenty years, we will no longer be able to organize a southern expedition army!"

"Just take the northern territory of the Twak Territory, and the food there will feed all our tribes for a whole year. Patriarch Hemai retorted.

"Do you want His Majesty to ask for help?" said someone, and the eyes of a silent prince Meru lit up surprisingly.

"Are you an idiot? I'd rather surrender to the Empire!"

"Then keep fighting!"

"Be cautious. ”

The situation of each tribe is different, so some people are willing to fight, and some people are not.

But Prince Nuliv will not withdraw his troops under any circumstances, because he has an agreement with the orcs.

Therefore, not only could he not retreat, but he also had to deal with the 10,000 imperial troops on the opposite side as soon as possible, otherwise, when the orc army arrived, he would not have the price to negotiate with it at all.

Looking at the people arguing below, Nulif's dissatisfaction rose again, and he couldn't help but look for Kebot in the crowd again, who always brought him a lot of new ideas.

But what he didn't know was that Kebot had already left, he had left with the head of the Hongji tribe, Quimper, and his son Haqada, and he needed to see what was going on in the Kanya Pass line, because Pedi had not acted according to the established plan.

But by the time he arrived, the Imperial army had already retreated.
