Now turn the perspective back to the Frontier Fortress in the eastern border of Robert Smith's empire.

The looting of supplies is obviously impossible to hide from such a big thing.

Not to mention that during this time, as the commander of the Eastern Territory Army, Liu Meng was certainly not idle.

Successfully robbing the supplies on the other side is a great opportunity, how can you not make good use of it?

In this way, all kinds of rumors suddenly spread on this border battlefield.

"Supplies have been looted by the enemy."

"There is not much food left in the fortress, and if it continues like this, there will be no food!"

Similar rhetoric spread rapidly among the soldiers of the border fortress, and in just a few days, a trend of intensification became so intense that the entire fortress became panicked.

Many soldiers went straight to the granary that day, wanting to confirm the grain reserves in the fortress with their own eyes.

However, it was found that the soldiers on duty outside the granary had all been replaced by the general's personal soldiers.

A group of personal soldiers stopped there, and they naturally couldn't confirm it at all.

However, this practice has, to some extent, further exacerbated the situation.

But the defenders of the Eastern Fortress had no choice.

It is a fact that there are not many food reserves in their fortresses.

Whether the soldiers went in and confirmed it with their own eyes, or whether they couldn't confirm it with their own eyes, the negative impact caused by the end would basically not change in any way.

Not to mention that he now has to issue another order......

That is, from today, the daily food distribution for each soldier will be halved.

As soon as this order was issued, it caused an uproar, making the tens of thousands of soldiers in the fortress even more restless.

However, as mentioned earlier, he had no choice.

The only thing that could be done was to try to reassure the soldiers as much as possible, and loudly emphasize that it was just a minor accident and that the Empire's supplies would be delivered soon.

But for his statement, the soldiers were undoubtedly skeptical.

As the one who can't defend it, what are you most afraid of? The most feared thing is that there is an internal problem!

Liu Meng's hand is clearly a scheming and shaking their military heart!

Combined with the onslaught of the Upper East Legion during the day, the uneasiness in their hearts, coupled with the reduction of their daily three meals, made the state of the Europa soldiers begin to deteriorate.

After a defensive battle, the casualty count began to increase significantly compared to the past.

Inside the fortress, the constant wails of the wounded soldiers cast a lingering shadow over the entire camp.

In comparison, the Eastern Legion pressed on the outside was full of momentum.

In the next few days, Liu Meng unceremoniously launched a fierce attack for several days.

The Elephant Giant Artillery and the Dwarven Artillery Corps poured out their firepower frantically, constantly suppressing the little morale left of the Europa defenders.

The number of casualties is increasing day by day, and the medical room is not enough, so tents can only be erected in the open space of the fortress to accommodate the wounded.

The medical soldiers in the fortress have been busy in the past few days, and the medical supplies are constantly being consumed, however, the number of wounded soldiers has not decreased at all.

After three days of maintaining this state, the first wounded soldiers who died in the border fortress because they did not have time to rescue them appeared.

Originally, this is not a very unusual thing, in wartime, there are more wounded soldiers who are seriously injured, because they have no time to rescue, or because the rescue is ineffective, and to some extent, this is simply the norm on the battlefield.

But now is a very sensitive special period for this border fortress in the east, and anything will be infinitely magnified!

As soon as the news spread, the atmosphere inside the fortress decisively became more restless.

The uneasiness and anxiety of the soldiers were already written directly on their faces.

Faced with this situation, as the defender of this eastern border fortress, he could only grit his teeth and hold on.

At the same time, telegrams were sent to the rear headquarters one after another, even if it was one or two truckloads of supplies, so that he could use this to appease the army.

The rear command, which received an urgent telegram from the front, knew that the situation on the border was not optimistic, so it naturally quickly sent a reply, saying that the city closest to the eastern fortress would immediately have a transport convoy set off.

After confirming this news, the garrison of the border fortress can be said to be greatly relieved, and hurriedly announced the news, and at the same time, in order to increase his credibility, he also ordered three regiments of troops in public as receiving troops and rushed to meet them.

This oath did not seem to be a fraud, but it can be said that it played a certain role, and finally temporarily calmed the wavering military morale.

However, the guards of the border fortress know in their hearts that the next thing is the point.

The previous batch of supplies was robbed, which means that the other party has been eyeing this piece.

Although the quantity of supplies sent over this batch is not large, only a few trucks, but for their border fortress, it is of great significance, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is life-saving materials.

If he could, he would like to send more troops to meet him.

However, at present, the enemy's army is attacking every day, coupled with a large number of casualties during this time, the number of troops in his hands has obviously begun to decline, and considering the safety and defense of the fortress, there is not much force to be drawn for a while, and the strength of the three regiments can basically be said to be the limit.

Just in case, the troops of the three regiments set off directly ahead of schedule to receive the supplies that had been delivered.

They left very carefully, probably trying to avoid the eyes and ears of the Eastern Legion, but who would have thought that the eyes and ears of the Eastern Legion were in the sky! All the actions of this border fortress obviously can't escape the two giant eagles flying in the sky!

At this moment, I saw that the two giant eagles exchanged a look very humanely, and in the next second, the eagle's beak opened, and it was directly spoken......

"I'll go along and take a look, and you can go back and report the situation."

"Okay."

After a brief exchange, the two giant eagles immediately moved separately.

A giant eagle directly followed the forces of the three regiments that had left the border fortress.

The other giant eagle quickly flew back to the camp of the Eastern Army, and turned into a human form the moment it landed.

After quickly reporting the information discovered, a trace of meaning flashed on Liu Meng's face in the big tent of the Chinese army.

In this day and age, if you want to ask for support, you only need a telegram to complete, and now the other side has suddenly sent a large number of soldiers out of the camp, you can imagine what its purpose is!

"Looks like there's another supply on the other side?"
