Chapter 0363: Showing Strength

Next, the responsibility of entertaining Sylvia falls on Heidi's shoulders, and Lei Ye has to deal with the revenge from the demon wholeheartedly.

The plan was well underway, and he was fighting this battle not only for the Kingdom Mission, but also for the temporary settlement of the threat from the demons.

At this moment, the demons in the collapse pit were staring at the county of Meredith like a wild beast, and Lei Ye had also made up a big net, waiting for the other party to fall into the trap.

Renard came to inspect the forward positions almost every day, accompanied by the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, Ray Tawang.

Lei Ye now knows what it means: a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.

There are many generals in the Earl Meredith who can fight, but very few can command large-scale battles, which can be seen from Ashley's promotion to the chief of the military staff.

The other party only followed his father to study military theory for a few years, and then studied at the Academy of Constantinople for a period of time, and his command ability has completely exploded the vast majority of generals, which shows how low the military quality of the generals in the territory is.

Renard couldn't help but wonder if Uncle Leander and Cousin Grace were there.

However, he could only think about it, after all, the other party was living happily in the north of the kingdom, and he couldn't take care of himself at all.

Walking on the wasteland, looking at the fortress like a nail, Lei Ye felt a lot more peaceful in his heart.

Ray Dawang pointed to the fortress in the distance and said, "Your Excellency, you don't need to worry too much, our defense line is very tight, even in the face of hundreds of thousands of demons, we can withstand it for a long time. ”

As he spoke, he turned and pointed to the cavalry swaying behind him: "Even if the demon can break through the crossfire network formed by the fortress, its strength will inevitably be greatly damaged, and our cavalry regiment can easily send it back to its hometown." ”

Renard took a deep breath and warned, "Don't take it lightly, we're going to face the Demon Regulars next. ”

Then he asked: "Have you dug the evacuation passage under the fortress to ensure that the soldiers can evacuate smoothly after the fortress is breached?" ”

Ray Dawang nodded: "The passages have been fully excavated, and a large amount of gunpowder has been buried under each fortress. ”

Renard nodded in satisfaction when he heard this, and then went to the collapse pit accompanied by the other party.

Before he got closer, the strong dark breath and the pungent smell of sulfur were sent to his mouth and nose by the wind, and ordinary people in such an environment were afraid that they would not last for a few minutes and would be poisoned to death.

Everyone drove the griffin to rise thousands of meters into the air, looking down at the collapse pit below, only to see that it was densely packed with demons, and all of them were mid-to-high-level demons.

Lei Ye's expression suddenly became solemn: "The next thing will be a very deadly war!"

Ray Dawang's face remained unchanged: "If the plan succeeds, the demons will probably have to recuperate for a long time, at least they will not regard the county of Meredith as the primary target." ”

Naturally, he said that it was the Meteor Fire Rain Project, which was enough to kill hundreds of thousands of demons, but the only people who knew about this plan were trusted high-level officials in the territory for the time being.

Don't blame Lei Ye for being cautious, because you don't know how many demonic spies there are in your territory.

After inspecting the collapse pit, everyone returned to their positions.

Behind the position, the reservists and militia were building a third line of defense, consisting of trenches and barbed wire, and behind the line were continuous camps, where the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Infantry Regiments were stationed.

The commander of the third line of defense was Cliffor, who was also inspecting the line at this time, and his roar could be heard throughout the position: "Listen to it all, sweat more now, and shed less blood in wartime." ”

He waved his shovel as he spoke: "You are not working for that stuttering, you are fighting for the defense of our homeland, for the survival of all mankind. ”

Beecher and Simon chimed in beside him, "That's right, digging two inches deeper in the trench may give us two more chances of survival, and these fortifications will not only be used to keep the demons at bay, but will also give us precious time to retreat." ”

After speaking, Simon kicked a recruit's ass fiercely: "Look at you for a long time, you know that you are lazy, do you want to be stabbed in the ass by the little devil's steel fork when you escape?"

The kicked recruit shrank his head and went to work.

Renard shook his head and smiled, the recruit was Simon's son, and Lao Tzu beating his son should not be considered a violation of military regulations.

Beecher put the shovel on his shoulder, and said with a stern face: "The trench will be dug deep for me, and the dug will be wide, if anyone dares to be lazy, I will never spare him, have you heard it all?"

The recruits and militiamen replied in unison, "I hear you!"

Seeing that everyone was working hard, Cliffor couldn't help but show a satisfied expression: "Add dinner tonight, and give each person an extra three taels of jerky." ”

The recruits and militia shouted hooray, and at the same time worked harder.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the soldiers, Renard sighed helplessly, it was just three taels of dried meat, and he actually made the other party happy like this, which shows how serious the demon disaster has become.

If it had been placed in the past, it would not have been said to be jerky, or fresh meat would not have been so happy.

However, this is not the case, and there is hardly any food, vegetables and meat in the market, and all of them are hidden to prevent the famine that will come at an unknown time.

The situation in the southern part of the kingdom is relatively good, it is a vast and sparsely populated area, and it is close to the sea, and the people can survive on wild fruits and wild meat, as well as seafood.

The northern part of the kingdom is densely populated, and there is no other source of food than to grow crops, and now there is a food crisis in various places.

The situation intensified when many poor people died of starvation, and many more became robbers, thieves, and villains, living by robbing their homes and robbing houses, and those who were robbed had to join in in order to survive.

At the beginning of this year, many people with rich families fled to the kingdom of Rowling, while those who did not have enough money had to risk their lives to cross the forest of beasts in groups to the south of the kingdom in search of survival.

The Ten Thousand Beast Forest is much safer now than before, because the demons have driven the natives and beast monsters to other places, and as long as it is not particularly unlucky, the chance of passing through safely can reach about eighty percent.

From time to time, the county of Meredith receives large numbers of refugees, all of whom are skinny and seem to be terminally ill.

It is estimated that Ferdinand would never have thought that the people under his jurisdiction would risk their lives to survive in the barren south, otherwise they would have to die of anger.

However, this was all in Lei Ye's expectations, the other party only considered the crisis of the demons, but never thought about the other troubles that followed, so short-sighted, it can be called a model of mediocrity.

Thinking of this, Renard couldn't help but shake his head, it is not a good thing to have a young and vigorous king, if the other party is still stubborn, it will be even more complete.
