Chapter 51: A Tacit Understanding of Coincidences (Part II)
"It's not easy to become a lord, but I didn't expect the world to be impermanent!", Slok's mind still echoes Wright's last mutter.
"It turns out that you also have regrets, so why are you so determined, faith is really incomprehensible. Slok said something like this that he couldn't understand very well.
Thinking of this, perhaps bored, he shook his head. It's strange why I always think of this man, even though he has become a corpse in the grave, and he buried it himself.
Perhaps this is the respect between men, Wright defended his dignity as a lord with his life, and it is natural to come to Slok's respect.
"Why do you want to think about so much, the top priority now is to solve the food problem!", leaving these distractions aside, Srock once again focused his attention on the food problem.
Although Slok subsequently used the best manpower to search for surplus food in the city, and searched the entire Tenio Fortress and only found less than a month's worth of food, this was still in the case of frugality.
"Looks like it's time for the logistics troops to rush here. Slok thought so, and immediately sent someone to inform the remaining troops in the camp.
At this moment, Srock had already been carried away by the victory, and he didn't even notice that the number of defenders in the city was wrong. Most importantly, he forgot about Elaire.
Of course, it's also possible that he thinks that the bad old man named Eliel has been killed by the rebels in some unknown corner.
Anyway, he couldn't have guessed that his backup forces had been wiped out by Ilaire.
Back a few days ago, while Slok was hesitating to raid Tenio Fortress, our General Elier had finally arrived near Camp Talen.
Standing on a hillside and looking at the river that had receded in the distance, Elier knew that the flood was about to recede, and in a few days it would return to its former plains.
At that time, there will be no difference from before, except that the surface is a little muddy.
At that point, Slok will have to come into direct conflict with the opposing army.
At present, Elaire's side does not know the situation on the side of the Tarun army, and if he waits until then, if the other party has more troops left than himself, he may not be able to eat them all.
Even if the opponent's strength is not as good as his own, a direct confrontation will cause unnecessary casualties, which is not what General Elier wants to see.
In General Elier's opinion, now was the best time to do so, while Talen's army was still trapped by the floods.
However, General Elier pondered and failed to find a good way to use the flood to crush the enemy army, and although the flood trapped the Tarun army, it also made it impossible for General Elier to get close to them easily.
At this time, several small rafts carrying some soldiers rowed towards the river bank from a distance. Seeing this, some thoughts crossed Elier's mind.
Frontier of the Ernne Empire, Camp Tarun.
Lord Kenny has been really anxious lately, and he is almost a white head overnight. It's been days since the flood waters, and it still hasn't gone away.
So he had no choice but to organize his soldiers to start cutting down the trees on the hillside, hoping to build some rafts so that he could use them to transport all the troops to the other side.
Of course, dreams are beautiful, and the truth is often so cruel. Soon, the few trees on the hillside were soon cut down.
The rafts that could be built were far from enough to transport all the troops to the other side, so in the end he had to have his soldiers transport them back and forth between the hillside and the other bank.
But the morning had passed, and the raft that was supposed to come twice had not yet appeared. But on the hillside, Kenny couldn't observe the other side either.
Now Kenny's whole state is that he doesn't know what's going on the other side, and he doesn't have a raft to investigate, so he can only stomp his feet in the camp alone.
Fortunately, at noon the soldiers finally came, and the number of rafts was much higher than when they left.
However, an old man who came to transport the soldiers explained that their raft had been damaged when it landed, so they took some time to repair it, so they came a little late.
They even built some new rafts to improve efficiency.
At this point, Kenny doesn't have a good time criticizing them, after all, what they do is really impeccable. Soon, the rafts left the hillside with thousands of Tarun soldiers.
Looking at their departing backs, Kenny always senses that something is wrong, but he can't tell.
Especially for the older general, Kenny obviously didn't remember that he had such a general, but he vaguely felt that he had seen him somewhere, and he had a sense of déjà vu.
But when Kenny remembered the sincerity in the old man's eyes, Kenny didn't think much about it. Srock wasn't in the camp, he had to deal with a lot of things every day, where did he have the time to think about these trivial things.
In the afternoon, several more waves of rafts came to transport soldiers, and each time they came, the rafts almost doubled.
At first, Kenny didn't suspect that much. After all, with so many soldiers transported, there was no problem in making the raft faster.
By the time Kenny felt that something was wrong, it was already the third day, and the last raft could even hold 20,000 people at once, which was a bit exaggerated, and even if there were more people, it was impossible to build so many rafts in three days.
Despite his doubts, Kenny made his way to the raft with his group of henchmen, only to be cautious about his last raft.
Once on the raft, Kenny finally notices that something is wrong, you are that there are more soldiers on the raft than there are to transport.
This is very strange, there were so many people on the raft in the first place, it seems that they did not come to carry people, but to kill people!
The further he walked, the more strange Kenny became, and he even found a trail of blood in a crevice in the raft.
And, the further you go, the more corpses there are on the surface of the lake.
At first, Kenny thought it was the Tallon soldiers who had been swallowed up by the flood some time ago, after all, he would see some corpses on the hillside from time to time.
It wasn't until he finally saw a soldier who had come to transport people wearing Erne's ornament that he finally understood that it was a conspiracy.
Kenny winked at a few of his henchmen, who understood what Kenny meant in an instant after years of understanding, while the few Erne soldiers in the room were completely unaware that they were using the code.
The result was obvious, under the sneak attack of dozens of elite soldiers, although the Ernn had hundreds of soldiers on this raft, they were all pushed into the lake to feed the fish.
After capturing the raft, Kenny quickly turns the raft around and leaves the group, heading in the other direction.
He knew that all the soldiers who came next would be slaughtered in the lake, but he had to leave quietly, and he had to go to the Tenio Fortress to report the news, or the rest of Tarun's troops would be in danger.
Until the slaughter on the lake was over, no one had noticed that a raft had mysteriously disappeared, and of course no one cared about it.
At this point, Slok has captured the fortress of Teneo, and Elaire has taken out Talon's camp, and it is hard to say who will win or lose.
