At noon on September 24, Dane had already received the news that the sand bandits had been exterminated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After reading the battle briefing written by Palan, Dane said, "It's a bit messy, but the final result is okay." ”

Pexinsi, who was beside him, said, "Well, it's not bad. It was not uncommon for a night attack to be chaotic, and his troops had to march all day to reach the place of battle, and there was nothing to be dissatisfied with when they were able to annihilate fifteen hundred sand thieves and capture all the camel mounts at the cost of less than five hundred men. ”

"Hmm." "But I'm more concerned about that Firmino guy." I still remember him, he was the first person to pass on Cinderella's information, right? ”

"Seems like so." Elven General said.

"When they get back, let Paland and Firmino come and see me."

"Okay."

……

When Dane met Paran and Firmino, he was less than half a day's way away from the Wasteland Pass.

After a rapid march and a battle at night, Paran's troops were indeed unable to move any further. At that time, he could only hastily clean the battlefield, put away the camels well, and then stationed them on the spot for a day, and waited until the soldiers were almost recovered, and then restarted, and brought more than 1,000 camels back to the legion with the troops.

"Good job." Dane looked at the two people in front of him and patted them on the shoulders one by one.

"Thanks to Mr. Firmino's help, I don't know how this battle would have been fought." Paran complimented Firmino beside him. For this gold medal agent, the new general is also very convinced, and at the same time very grateful.

"Where, ......where," Firmino said, "General Paran's command is also wonderful, the tactical strategy is in place, and the command of the battle is also very commendable." ”

"Alright." Dane smiled and said, "You two don't compliment each other in front of us anymore. This time, both of you have credit, and I have written it down. However, the elimination of those sand pirates can only say that we have won the initial victory of this battle, and the enemy has not been destroyed. The next step is to work harder. ”

After a pause, Dane continued: "Paran, the logistics force is still in charge of you, and those camels are all at your disposal. Whether it's a livestock to pull the baggage, or a mount for your garrison, it's up to you. According to the intelligence, Imu's sand pirate group should be less than 2,000 men, and with most of them already wiped out, I don't want to hear any more about our supply lines running into trouble. Can you guarantee that? ”

"I promise that there will be no further problems with the supply lines!" ”

"Okay." Dane said, "Then you stand down, I have some things to tell Firmino." ”

Paran glanced at Firmino, punched him in the shoulder, and walked out laughing.

"This time, you're doing a good job."

Firmino knew that the 'you' in Dane's mouth meant the entire intelligence system. He said, "Thanks to the wise leadership of the lord. ”

"Haha!" Dane laughed and said, "I didn't expect my gold medal agent to be a sycophant, and he and Paran complimented each other just now, and now they will praise you, so they will come to pat my ass." ”

Firmino said with a bitter face: "How dare I, my lord, I really think so. ”

"Okay, no." Dane said, "There is still half a day away from the Wasteland Pass, and I want to know, as the 'Mask' told me before, the Manpower of the Black Hand Academy in the Wasteland Pass can play some role in assisting us in the siege of the city, is this reliable?" ”

Firmino said, "My lord, I have been in contact with my colleagues in the city. Of course, they can provide some help when we are attacking the city, such as finding an opportunity to send back information about the movement of the enemy in the city in time, such as ......"

"Needless to say." Dane interrupted Firmino with a wave of his hand, "When I say help, I don't mean the request. That's your job, and I'm sure you can do a good job of that. When I say help, I mean something else. For example, can your people find a way to cooperate with the outside when the army is attacking the city, create some chaos in the city, or even directly open the city gates from the inside? ”

"This ......" Firmino hesitated, he didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of Dane, but he really couldn't be sure about this matter.

Dane was not in a hurry, he said: "You go back and communicate with the people we have planted in the wasteland pass, and come up with a plan as soon as possible, I expect you to play a better role in this war." ”

"Okay." Firmino said, "Before the army reaches the Wasteland Pass, I will definitely give you an answer, my lordship. ”

"That's good, let's go."

……

If the agents were able to play an important role in the war as Dane expected, it would undoubtedly speed up the course of the campaign greatly.

Dane never doubted whether he could win this war - he did not believe it, and he personally led a team of 15,000 soldiers, including the people who initiated the expedition and the soldiers of the garrison corps, the total number of the Western Expeditionary Army exceeded 30,000, and not even a small wasteland pass could be defeated.

It's just that the Florentines standing behind the scene are indeed something that has to be guarded against.

Judging from the information from the Duchy of Florence, when Dane openly branded Im as the 'enemy of all the people of Hindlaire', Waterman, Count of the 'Bull', had already reacted. The grumpy Earl even directly pointed out the army, and on the same day that Dane marched into the desert, he also ordered the knights of the family to lead the army towards the wasteland pass.

The Bulls are a well-known formidable force in the Duchy of Florence. The wealthy Count Bull, armed with an army of 7,000 warriors, was not an easy target to deal with. And he also pulled up some other nobles around him and sent troops with him.

This time, Waterman headed east to Hindlaire, bringing with him more than 10,000 troops.

Dane didn't want to fight the Florentines in the desert. If he wins, his relations with the Duchy of Florence will be irreparably bad, and the Florentines will not be able to have a strong army in their own country, and Sindelaire will not be indifferent to all the losses.

And if he loses, the situation that Dane had created in Schindlaire, which was already a great one, will be reversed all of a sudden.
