"Chapter 298: Supplies, Deadly Supplies"

Our troops were forced to withdraw, and buckets of holy water were poured out and distributed to every soldier wounded by Arcane Impact, and even the skeletons who were not completely destroyed were given a little holy water to help them keep their bodies from disintegrating. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWe have a lot of wounded, we have thought about this problem before, so we have not prepared so many medical supplies and medical personnel, so that there are so many seriously injured that we have to help take care of the lightly injured. It sounds strange, but it's true, most of our troops have rushed into the city, or are waiting outside to get in, so more than two-thirds of the troops are wounded, and we are desperate for this, but there is no suitable way to do it.

Pure arcane power is very powerful, and the wounds inflicted on the human body are much heavier and more difficult to heal than with weapons and ordinary magic. The soldiers provided by the system are all good soldiers in the tribal world, with strong force value, endurance and body healing ability are far stronger than human warriors of the same level in this world, even if they are stabbed, they can return to the battlefield in three days with holy water. But even so, after being injured by the Arcane Impact, even with the addition of holy water, it will take three to seven days for our soldiers to gradually heal, and the next few days will still affect their combat effectiveness.

I only now understand that the minaret in the kingdom is not just for decoration and commemoration, the minaret without many magic fluctuations is an excellent conductor and works very well on elemental energy. And for arcane energy, that is, the most essential embodiment of the conversion of magic into energy, it also has a good release effect. I believe there must be some other magical device or similar magical device in the inner city of the kingdom that can transform large amounts of arcane energy and release it through the spire, causing severe trauma to a wide range of creatures. And this release range is obviously designed, and the direction of radiation can be adjusted to minimize damage to allies.

At this time, I remembered some of the contents I saw when I was idle in the winter and read those books on the inexplicable continent, which contained a description of the failure of the Holy Baleka Kingdom to attack White Oak City, which said that the army of the Baleka Kingdom once invaded the city, but the Subic army used a devastating magic weapon to almost wipe out the Baleka Kingdom army in the city, and the army of the Baleka Kingdom was also forced to withdraw from the city and the kingdom's support army fought outside the city, and finally failed to withdraw. Because there was so much water in the books of the Baleka Kingdom, I only regarded that incident as an exaggeration on the part of Balekka, and I thought that the use of large magic weapons was inevitable, but it would not be so terrifying. Of course, the most important thing is that this is already recorded hundreds of years ago, and I didn't think that this kind of thing that looks like a disposable weapon will still be there in a few hundred years and can still be used, so I didn't pay special attention to it, so now I suffer a big loss.

But no matter how this thing works, or how much the kingdom has done here, I don't really care, and even have some doubts. At that time, the kingdom was able to build a strong defense system in White Oak City, and the national strength can be seen. However, the successive generations of kings still spent a lot of manpower and material resources on the defense and expansion of White Oak City, and it has to be said that it is a pity to neglect the problems of other regions. But in any case, their defenses are very good, at least the Holy Baleka Kingdom and we have suffered a big loss.

Because of the minaret, we suffered severe damage and disrupted the deployment of the battle plan. What started as a quick battle turned into a constant tug-of-war between the two sides in the city, and with the kingdom still able to continue to support, we didn't have the advantage at all.

It takes a certain amount of time for troops to regain their combat effectiveness, and it takes time and money for lost skeletons to be replenished. Not only is the skeleton unit of a legion a huge amount of money, but it also requires a large number of tombstones to be produced in full force for three days to be replenished. However, during this time, the kingdom will certainly not let us stay to recover, and the battle in the city will definitely be endless, forcing us to keep throwing in troops, increasing the time for our troops to replenish, and making the battle more prolonged.

The pressure to resupply is back on us, and it's heavier than ever. After fighting for so long, our supply lines have been stretched very long, and the food stocks in the Anker region have begun to run low, and now we have more than half of the food transported from the Free Alliance, if nothing else, it will take at least half a month on the road alone, and the food consumed along the way (including the consumption of personnel, the consumption of garrisons along the way, and a bunch of other things) is equivalent to half of the food transported, so by the time the military rations arrive, it will not be enough for the minimum requirements we expected.

The rations were getting scarcer, but our needs were increasing because of the large number of wounded, and sometimes we had to send small troops to coerce some nobles to levy food, and we could not do the same stitches and ounces of flour that we had promised the inhabitants of the cities we had conquered, and we had moved half of the granaries of the surrounding cities to barely make up enough for a week's worth of rations (and we only had a few days of food left before that), but it would take almost a week for our troops to be put in order.

Not only food, but also holy water, although we have killed many enemy troops, but our casualties are also very large, and we also need a lot of holy water to replenish the troops, we have been selling holy water, and we have not only reduced our sales, but even transported the holy water from the Tibetan Soldier City! This is the first time.

And this is what the other party wants to see the most. We are now in the weakest time since going north, and we need time to replenish, but the other side still has no intention of attacking, which shows that the other side does not want to clash with us head-on (of course, even now, it is definitely not good for them to dare to do anything with us). Their idea is simple, it is "drag"! Hold on until we run out of supplies and retreat ourselves.

While this may seem overly simplistic, it is the best way to do it in the Kingdom right now. Once we run out of supplies, we have to keep backing down, tearing down where we can easily resupply, or even withdrawing back to the Free Alliance in one fell swoop. Of course we don't want to do this, but if the supplies run out, even the warriors of the tribal world will not be able to support it for three or four days. By that time, not only will the siege of the city be lifted, but once we retreat, they will be able to regain some of the lost territory and confine us to parts of the south. This is what the Kingdom hopes for the most, and what we least want.
