Chapter 240: On the eve of the war

Minotaur Country, a port town.

A sail belonging to the native of the Bull Head appeared outside the port, bringing a large amount of cargo with it.

The orcs brought boxes of goods ashore, and the bull-headed merchant led a large number of muscular men to open the way, stopping the other merchants' orcs outside.

After a while, the minotaur saw exquisite transparent glasses, glass balls, and pure silver full-length floor-to-ceiling mirrors.

"Is this a miracle?" The minotaur was surprised, and the oxtail behind him swayed.

The minotaurs were dumbfounded, for the first time they saw such pure glass, shining in the low sunlight, like a miracle.

"Lord Ou Ruo, this is the goods I bought from the merchant of Shuizhu Port, and its reserve price is one thousand gold dragons." The little minotaur grinned and rubbed his hands.

"Shuizhu Port? Isn't that the port city of Lionheart? ”

"Yes, and I also heard a very important piece of news from the merchants of Shuizhu Harbor......" The Minotaur whispered into Ouruo's ear.

When the minotaur Ou Ruo heard the civil strife in Lionheart City, his expression moved slightly, and he realized that this was a wonderful piece of information, and if it was true, it would be much higher than the value of this shipment.

In less than half an hour, Oruo reported the matter of Lionheart's civil unrest to the local nobles.

The local nobles were alarmed, a large number of chariots and horses came to the port, entered a large warehouse, first checked the wooden box, and saw round transparent glass beads, which also had blue, red, yellow, green, blue, purple and other color differences, and couldn't help but express ecstasy.

Of course, the information that the little bullaur inquired about in Shuizhu Port is also a very important matter, and the alliance between Shuizhu Port and a certain anti-lion city is bound to make Lionheart raise troops to attack.

"We have to pass this information to the royal city, 100,000 urgent."

"Let me come, I have a fast pigeon at home, it is very fast, it takes off in the morning and can fly to the royal city in the evening."

"Okay, you go ahead and arrange it."

The minotaurs are closely linked, and the local carrier pigeons take off and fly to the sky to the right, where the Minotaur King City is located.

……

Dangdang.

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

"Lord Allen, our birds have spotted large flocks of wagons and orcs in the northern woods, suspected to be the enemy's food carriers."

"Location?" Alan looked up at the intelligence officer.

"It's probably in the northern part of the forest, and it's more than 5,000 meters away from our city wall."

"Keep scouting."

"Yes!"

The cat-eared orcs retreated, and Eren continued to bow his head to deal with today's large project approvals.

It was only seven days since Wang Cheng sent the challenge letter, and it was normal for a large number of troops to appear in the northern forest of the city tomorrow.

The other party did not plan to leave according to the date of the challenge book, and it is very likely that he will complete the garrison and rest today, and send troops to attack the city on the eighth day.

Thinking of this, Alan quickly finished the rest of the paperwork and prepared to leave the city lord's office.

Windsor saw Alan get up, she also wanted to get up and follow, Alan shook his hand, "You continue to deal with the documents on the desk, I will go to the first front, this war is likely to turn into a drama war, and it will take a bit longer." ”

This attack on Tomorrow City is the 30,000 army of the Lionheart Country, and there must be veteran generals who have led the troops to fight for decades, and their command must be three or four grades higher than the beast tide, and the wisdom of the old man cannot be underestimated.

"Okay." With a worried expression, Windsor sat down to continue working on the papers.

As Alan left the building, he was greeted by passers-by on the way, and it took him a long time before Alan left the residential area and hurried towards the city walls.

The army of Tomorrow City had already been stationed on the city walls a few days ago, and there was no need for Alan to hold a march, and the local residents did not know when the actual war would begin, so they were waiting for the newspaper to report.

……

The next morning, the sky was cloudy, and the light was shining through the curtains.

In the sisters' room of the Hoth family, Ephiena and Lori had already gotten up, and at this moment the black-haired sister was combing her sister's hair.

There was a sound of heavy footsteps downstairs, and the two Lori looked at each other, and when they heard it, they knew that the newspaper delivery man had arrived carrying a pile of newspapers.

Effie's hands moved together, and he instantly tied the head of the ball.

She patted her sister's balls on the head, "Ena, it's your turn to pick up the newspaper today." ”

"Hmph, got it." Little Ena turned her head from side to side and looked at her balls, very satisfied.

Cat-eared Lori trotted all the way, ran downstairs, opened the door, and just saw the uncle who delivered the newspaper walking to the door.

"Uncle early!" Ena smiled sweetly.

The uncle's heart warmed, and he looked at the little Lori on the head of the ball to greet him, and happily replied: "Morning!" ”

Ena handed over a copper coin, then closed the door and placed the newspaper of the day on the dining table.

Sister Effie was already sitting in her exclusive seat, cocking the kitten's tail and gently patting the right position to signal that her sister was next to her.

"Is there anything new in the newspaper today?"

"I see Brother Alan!"

"What!"

Effie was interested and saw the first aspect of the war.

It happens to mention the story of Allen's city lord sitting on the front line, and it also reports the story of Allen eating game with the warriors by the way.

"Why is Brother Allen running away from the city wall now, won't there be no lessons for him next?"

The two little Loli suddenly sullen and liked to listen to Allen's lecture very much.

Their learning ability is extraordinary, and no one in the school can teach them anything new except Allen, so they are eager to listen to Allen's classes, the more the better.

"What, Alan went to the city walls?" In the kitchen, the voice of Education Minister Hoss was heard, who put the broken egg whites and yolks in the bowl, stirred with chopsticks in one hand, and held the bowl with the other.

"yes, Dad."

Hearing the answer of the two good daughters, Hoss hurried over to the newspaper and read every line carefully.

Newspapers are the most important source of information in the region, and after reading them, Hoss also has a general idea of the current war situation.

"The Wangcheng army has attacked, I hope we can hold it."

"Dad, what are you worried about?" Little Ena looked uneasy, and the cat ears on her head were upside down in her hair.

"You don't understand, an army of 30,000 is not a child's play, we have a lot of mountains here, not the Great Plains, and the advantage of muskets is not particularly high." Hoss frowned, still quite worried about the current situation.

Hoth is not an orc of the military department, and he doesn't know the military secrets of grenades, but he only knows that Tomorrow City has few troops, but there are many places to guard, and it is easy to dilute the combat effectiveness.

Not only is he worried, but now the residents of the streets and alleys are also secretly worried after receiving the newspaper.

War is not only the struggle between soldiers, but also the consumption of a large amount of food, medicine, weapons, etc., and the competition is based on the comprehensive national strength, and whoever cannot hold on first will fall ahead of schedule.

"Tomorrow City, you must win!"

At this moment, regardless of race, the inhabitants of all ethnic groups of Tomorrowland want Tomorrowland to win.
