Just look at words that deny oneself and others from a different perspective, and the world changes suddenly.

– Alfred Adler (Austrian psychologist)

On November 6, the total population of the Storm Fortress, hidden in the woods of Brojansson, finally exceeded the 300,000 mark on that day, and the food stored in the fort was only enough for 300,000 people to eat and drink for four days.

Originally, the food situation of the Wind Fortress was almost the day when the Wind Thieves ran out of food, but their leader had begun to systematically reduce the daily food distribution for each person a few days earlier, and this was the only way to save some food.

On the premise that there is no food supply from the outside world, no matter how sparingly the Storm Thieves Group uses food, it is impossible for them to delay the date of their food shortages until the 16th, and by November 15 at the latest, the blindly expanding Wind Thieves Group will run out of food completely.

At this time, in the Governor's Mansion of the Storm Fortress, Montgomery, the leader of the Storm Thieves Regiment, was discussing with his henchmen and generals about how to solve the food crisis, and there were only six people in the huge Storm Thieves Regiment who could really be trusted by him.

"Chief, we have sent someone to send a letter of request for help to His Highness William, but now that so many days have passed, has His Highness William not prepared enough food for us? ”

Among the seven people at the core of the Tempest Thieves and the most loyal to Prince William, the leader Montgomery is undoubtedly the highest, followed by Auchinleck, who just spoke, he is the official appointed by Prince William himself, and all matters other than military affairs are handled by him.

"It's not that His Royal Highness William doesn't prepare food for us, but that the prepared food can't be delivered from under the noses of the orc army. ”

Montgomery, who had just received a reply from Prince William two days ago, had not yet finished speaking, and Paresi, who commanded the 10,000 elite soldiers of the Swift Wind Thieves Regiment, questioned his words: "I don't believe that Prince GLP can have such a good heart, he is the most powerful contender for His Highness!"

"I don't think so. Cunningham, the most scheming of the generals, took a different view: "I think that for Prince Pross, as long as His Highness pays enough price to impress him, he will definitely not refuse to have an exchange of benefits with His Highness." ”

"Alas...... It's all because we haven't thought it through, otherwise His Highness wouldn't have to bow his head to Prince Pros. "Mountbatten, who was born into the Onassis family, is the second grandson of the Duke of Cullen and is a very close cousin of Prince William.

Of all the core members of the Swift Wind Thieves, including Montgomery, only Mountbatten was a young man in his twenties, and the other six were all experienced and famous figures in their forties, which was not explained by his ability, but more determined by his origin.

"Who would have thought that the Sunset Fortress, which had been built for more than 200 years, would fall in one fell swoop?" Montgomery, who had been instructed by Prince William and Duke Cullen to train Mountbatten, encouraged him when Mountbatten blamed himself:

"The fall of Sunset Fortress has not only cost the empire nearly a million soldiers in vain, but also ruined everything that His Highness has worked so hard to manage in the eastern part of the empire; if we want to maintain His Highness's dignity, we must work hard to survive and use the sword in our hands to cut through all obstacles for His Highness!"

"With my sword, I will defend Your Highness to the death!" The neat slogan instantly swept away the decadence in the hearts of the seven people.

Of course, this slogan is only known to the seven core members of them, and the other elite warriors and new armies of the Wind Thieves Regiment shout the slogan of 'Sword of the Wind Thieves, Overcoming Thorns'.

"Chief, according to the report of our spies stationed on the outskirts of the fortress, Bai Feng's army entered Bromjansson County yesterday, and after that, he did not bother to send me food, but instead crossed us and headed straight for Brojansson County. ”

Slim, who was also the commander of the Fourth Wind Legion and the intelligence officer, informed everyone present of the information he had learned about Bai Feng's army this morning, and Bai Feng's actions made Montgomery and the others frown.

"It can't be Bai Feng's lucky boy who wants to break the agreement between their Prince of Pros and our Royal Highness, right?" Casvol, who was already very unimpressed with Bai Feng, immediately scolded in a rather dissatisfied tone when he heard this information.

"Casvol, how many times have I warned you, don't despise this Bai Feng, he can climb to the position of commander of an army in just a few months, he is by no means an ordinary person, underestimating such a strong man, sooner or later it will bring you a catastrophe!"

"No matter what you say, I'm going to look down on him anyway!" Casvol, who had a tendon in his head, said with an indignant expression: "The Imperial Army actually allowed a half-grown child under the age of twenty to command an army of 250,000, no wonder Sunset Fortress fell!"

"You ......" The angry Montgomery was about to reprimand Caswall when Auchinleck came out and said: "Chief, General Caswor is this character, forget it, our top priority is to find a way to solve the current food crisis." ”

"Is this food crisis a way for us to solve by ourselves?" After venting his complaint, Paresi said helplessly: "We have no other feasible way to solve the current crisis except to wait for Bai Feng's food to arrive." ”

As soon as these words came out, the room that had been a little noisy just now became silent again, and after a long time, under the premise that the other six people were silent, Montgomery, as the leader, had to stand up again and conclude:

"Today is the sixth, let's wait for Bai Feng for three more days, at the latest on the ninth, if Bai Feng hasn't sent food yet, we will take the initiative to send someone to find Bai Feng; ”

"Chief, this must not be done!" said Mountbatten, who had not raised a single objection to Montgomery's side for several years, retorted for the first time: "If the rations of the soldiers are halved, how can our army have the energy to meet the enemy in the event of an attack?"

"Mountbatten, I also agree with the chief's decision. This time, Montgomery did not need to explain himself, and Cunningham, who was very scheming, asked rhetorically: "In less than ten days at most, we will be completely out of food;

"This ......" Mountbatten, who was speechless, lowered his head heavily and said no more.

After this internal meeting, Paressy, Cunningham, Mountbatten, Casvor, and Slim were asked by Montgomery to pacify their respective officers, and cutting half of the rations of the officers and men of the army was not a trivial matter, and it was very easy to cause a mutiny in the army.

Auchinleck's task was to continue to pacify the refugees who were less than a quarter of their food rations, and the Storm Thieves, who had little food reserves, had never fed the refugees who had taken refuge in them, but the previous rations were half full, but now they were making do with a quarter of what was alive.

After giving orders to his six nominal subordinates, Montgomery began to prepare to take the initiative to contact Bai Feng, and he was able to become the leader of the Wind Thieves not only by his loyalty to Prince William, but also by his own ability.

Although Prince William deigned to reach a series of agreements with Prince GLP, Montgomery still understood the reason why he would not be subject to foreign military orders, so he did not pin all his hopes on Prince GLP's orders to Bai Feng.
