As time passed, the Mithril Navy's dominance of naval warfare became more and more apparent. The Ogre Overseer Grubitok struck his ship hard in a rage, and the ship drifted at sea and began to shatter. Xiao Yan had to grab a lifeboat and abandon the ship with the pirates.

Almost at the same time, the formation of the main fleet of the pirates, having lost three battleships, began to collapse, and the battleships and gunboats, which had not yet arrived at the position to start the battle, found that the disadvantage was too great and simply turned around and ran.

After seeing the fleet collapse, Helix was dragged from the flagship by his men and jumped into a lifeboat to escape. Somerville's fleet turned into pursuit, using its speed advantage to catch up with one pirate ship after another that couldn't escape, and beat them into a sieve.

……

In a trance, Valkyrie suddenly couldn't remember what she was doing, and she seemed to have returned to the past, the world she called herself Mulan. The waking consciousness gradually mixed with the memories, and she couldn't tell where the reality was.

In front of her, a group of cavalry lieutenant candidates were shouting around a silver-haired young officer.

"It's steamed buns again, no meat! Have you eaten all the rations and wiped them clean? The arrogant half-blood demon shield mountain tugged at the collar of the logistics officer, "Lao Tzu is very hungry, so eat this one with your fine skin and tender meat first!" ”

"We're sorry, but we're ...... closest to the nearest supply point"

"My boots opened my mouth last week, and no new ones have been sent so far!" Su Lie stomped his feet the floor, as if his boots weren't broken enough.

"Right...... I'm sorry, the military department ...... there"

Next to this pair of muscular brothers, Jia Luo's big watery eyes flashed, and he grabbed the arm of the logistics officer movingly: "Is it true that the Onmyoji suit hasn't been delivered yet?" ”

"This ......"

Flowey remembered that she had come to urge for excavation equipment, and the soldiers on the front line could only use shovels and shovels to strengthen the city wall and dig trenches, and it took most of the day to build a defensive line.

The desperate news reached the border city of Suiyuan where everyone was stationed a day ago, and the 9th Legion, which was very close to them, was defeated by the demon army, and Han Jiang, the commander of their commander, left the important town behind him, and fled to the rear with the administrative officials of Suiyuan, the officers and soldiers of the 9th Legion.

In addition to the 200,000 civilians left in Suiyuan, there were only the candidate of the Huaqi Lieutenant and her comrades-in-arms, 500 garrison troops and less than 000 logistics transport troops.

The main one who was grouped by everyone was Gao Changgong, who had just obtained the qualification of logistics command. He didn't look very appreciated, Han Jiang left him here to supervise the logistics and transportation, and completely forgot about him when he retreated.

Now that the city is in chaos, the news that the demon army is about to come and slaughter the city has spread, and now several city gates are crowded refugee convoys. As a fortress city, Suiyuan's narrow city gates and roads cannot guarantee the passage of so many citizens. The army guarding the border has fled completely, and the walls that defend everyone have become a cage.

Whew~ Forget it, since you have become a soldier, you have to do something worthy of your own money...... Flowey thought with some despair.

The young lieutenant candidates were warriors, and the 500 garrison troops were all reliable soldiers formed by young locals. Until the last drop of blood is shed, they will never let the demon army take half a step over the wall.

Of course, it would have been better if the warehouse hadn't been emptied by Han Jiang a few days ago, and at least everyone would have been able to eat a bloody battle before they died.

"Demon Army! The Demon Army has appeared in the northwest! A local garrison rushed into the logistics headquarters and shouted at the pillars.

The cavalry lieutenant candidates, who were still beating up the logistics officers just now, left the logistics commander who had been beaten up by the fat, and ran out with a hula.

Hua Mulan stood to the side, dodging the surging crowd, and glanced at the ragged young officer: "You can go quickly, if you still have the courage, take the logistics support to clear the traffic and clear the road." Take as many civilians out as you can before our defenses are breached. ”

This handsome and elegant silver-haired officer is named Gao Changgong, and Mulan has known him for less than three months. In these short months, the young officer was busy preparing for exams in the library every day, and he had little to do with everyone.

Mulan admits that she has nothing to do with this kind of person who is bent on going to the staff headquarters and the Privy Council, otherwise she would not have come to this border city to be a small cavalry lieutenant candidate.

Although Gao Changgong is very beautiful and has a very tall figure, such a ceramic doll is always the first to be broken when danger comes, the difference is only whether it looks good when it falls.

"Let's go, Ceramic Doll," Mulan said directly in her heart, and to be honest, she didn't have any good feelings for this handsome guy, "If you are caught by the demon army, I suggest you have a better time ending yourself." ”

"Uh......h Okay, okay. Gao Changgong rubbed his face and stood up, straightening his military uniform, "But I don't think the demon army will come to attack us anytime soon, they will pass under the city of Suiyuan and leave, we can all retreat safely." ”

"What a stupid thing to say?" Mulan shook her long red hair and walked out without looking back.

……

The remaining candidates of the cavalry lieutenants gathered on the city walls. They were still training as young elites, so they were not routed along with the Ninth Legion.

500 city defenders stood beside them, nervous and desperate looking ahead.

Because the time was too hasty, and the fortifications of Suiyuan were too bad, their defensive preparations were almost the same. If the demon army attacked, they didn't even need to attack the city gates, they could attack directly from a few gaps that had been broken for many years.

"Ah~It's a bit of a pity~" Garo glanced at Mulan with a smile, "I knew I would die today, so I pushed that little officer down!" ”

"Heh, do you like such a thin man?" Bloom gave her a blank look.

"What? You don't like it? You don't like to talk about it earlier! Garo raised an eyebrow, "I thought you were already dating!" ”

"Huh? Think too much about you! I don't like this one! ”

"Well~yo~ Since that's the case, we can't hold it horizontally and vertically anyway, I'll go back and push him down first and then drive him back, I should be able to catch up and die with you." Garo was very serious about putting forward his ideas.

Mulan glared at her, and wanted to say that you go, we will wait for you here, but this sentence is stuck in her throat and she just can't say it......

"It's coming!" Suddenly, someone shouted. The black-pressed demon army approached the city wall from a distance, and the hearts of all the defenders were immediately raised.

The defenders clenched their weapons, ready for the final moment.

"Is it too late for me to push him down, it should be too late...... Well? What's wrong? "Jia Luo bends her bow and arrows, and once she is in range, she will shoot the first blow of the defense of Suiyuan.

The mighty demon army marched rapidly, and suddenly came to a halt at a distance from the city walls.

It was impossible to attack the city wall at such a distance, and Mulan's first thought was that the demon army was equipped with siege weapons with an unimaginable range, which could break the city in a position where the defenders could not fight back.

It's terrible...... The red-haired girl clenched her silver teeth.

"Look! The demon army is gone!? ”

"Really! To the east! ”

Suddenly, the imposing demon army turned around and rushed towards the east, completely ignoring the Suiyuan City in front of them.

"Why? Why didn't they come and hit us? ”

"I don't know! Don't ask me! Who knows about this kind of thing! ”

No...... Someone knows! Mulan was alert for a while, and hurriedly ran down the city wall and ran towards the south gate.

"Boom!" She hadn't gone far when a loud bang came from ahead, accompanied by the roar of the collapse of the walls.

Attack...... Seongnam was attacked? Why!

The red-haired girl was so nervous that she drew her weapon and ran quickly to the south of the city to find out.

……

"That's right! That's it! Blast a few more walls! A familiar figure was standing by the ruins of the collapsed city wall, directing the logistics troops to carry away the rubble, "Set up signposts at the locations I have marked, and guide the citizens to the transit station!" ”

"Gao Changgong, what are you doing?" Mulan was so nervous that she even forgot her military rank, but she remembered the purpose of her coming here, "Why didn't the demon army attack us?" ”

The silver-haired boy turned around and smiled, "Guess! ”

……

Under the command of Gao Changgong, the logistics troops and the city defense troops who arrived demolished more than a dozen city walls and many houses, and diverted the refugees congested at the city gate to the plains south of the city through large and small roads, and then transferred them to the nearby supply depot of the Ninth Army. There, thousands of refugees continued their transfer south via the military track that had just been laid.

The military railroad tracks were invented by an official in the city of Chang'an, surnamed Han, and with the help of this facility, large vehicles were able to pass with great efficiency. Originally, this was a special route to facilitate the supply of the Frontier Corps, but after the Ninth Legion fled, the track was used by Gao Changgong to transport refugees.

"Don't worry, get on the bus in turn according to the instructions of the soldiers, don't worry, everyone can go!"

Gao Changgong held a rolled-up tin bucket and shouted loudly many times, and found some soldiers to continue shouting according to his words.

"Don't worry, the demon army won't be here in a short time." Gao Changgong wiped the sweat from his head, turned to the Cavalry Lieutenant Alternate, the well-known councillors and citizens in Suiyuan City, and said, "We have enough time, as long as everyone can maintain order, everyone can retreat safely." ”

"Why? Why are you so sure that the Demon Army will not come? Garo raised his hand and stood on tiptoe to ask for everyone.

"Because they're going after the Ninth Legion." Gao Changgong smiled, "To the east of us, there is still the defense area of the Twelfth Army. This time the invading demon armies are different from the past, they need to annihilate the growing Frontier Legion to disrupt our deployment, and capturing the city is not their purpose.

"Although the Ninth Army was defeated, the remnants of the army were still numerous. The demons will do everything they can to prevent them from joining up with the Twelve Legions. So we have time! ”

The young officer's analysis was logical and clearly answered everyone's questions. The present, whether it was the unruly cavalry lieutenant candidate or the famous citizens, all nodded convincingly, and dispersed to organize the evacuation.

The evacuation lasted for several hours, and everyone was worried about where the demon army suddenly came out. But as time went on, everyone became more and more at ease, and the evacuation became more efficient.

After seeing that everything was on the right track, Gao Changgong, who had not eaten or drunk water for most of the day, found a stone and sat down, took out a dry and cold steamed bun from his arms and nibbled on it deliciously.

Then, he choked on......

"Woo~ah! Water! Give me water! ”

Seeing that the supreme commander of the organization evacuation was about to choke to death by a mouthful of cold steamed buns, a cup of warm coffee was handed to him.

"Ahh Boom! Gao Changgong grabbed the coffee and poured it into his mouth, and then hammered his chest desperately, "Ahem, cough, cough!" It's dangerous...... It's dangerous! The human throat is too narrow, it's really inconvenient! ”

"Who told you to gobble it up!" Huahua smiled as she watched the logistics officer drink the coffee in the cup, "Are you better?" ”

"Much better. But it would be better if it was black tea. ”

"What? You're still not satisfied with it? The red-haired girl's good-looking thin eyebrows were raised.

"Well, it would be better if it could be a little hotter, I choked on cold coffee on a cold day~" Gao Changgong nodded as a matter of course.

……

Long after that day, the two would talk about that day from time to time.

"I'm ready to beat you, if you dare to say more, I'll beat you!" Mulan sat on her desk and raised her fist and threatened.

"Why? Why do you want to beat me, is it so unpleasant to look at the logistics officer? Gao Changgong was busy reviewing the military newspaper.

"You have to have low EQ to say something like that!" Flowey picked up a stack of papers, rolled them up and slammed them towards the silver-haired officer's head.

"Hey! You're attacking high-ranking officers again! Is it easy to manage logistics! ”

"It's you who fights, the hero of Suiyuan, the savior of 200,000 citizens, it's you who fights!"

……

"It's so hard for a logistics officer to be ......" was a voice so familiar, but so far away that it seemed like it came from another world.

"It's true that we lack this and that, but everyone will just order it~ We only have the Darren Mill River to transfer supplies, and the roads on land are disturbed by enemy cavalry and are not safe." Count Silver Kamen said helplessly to the Romanian officers, to Sonia and Valkyrie, who had rushed back in advance, "Logistics and transportation are always the most problematic and difficult links. ”

"This is the greatest logistical force we can muster in such a short time," said the Earl, spreading his hands, "and everyone will be settled." ”

Valkyrie came back to his senses in a trance, and found himself asleep listening to the battle meeting......

Why do you dream about the past again...... The girl quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and bit her lip slightly.

"This time, I won't let you go again."
