Chapter 342: Disappearing Materials

Spring has begun, and the snow at the foot of the Horsgaard Mountains has stopped, and in some places the snow has begun to melt. The warm sunlight of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info sprinkled softly and lazily on the edge of the stone wall of the stronghold, but the chill in the air still lingered, even colder than usual.

"Legion Commander, there's news from your lordship...... "A warrior behind him snorted and ran behind Puton.

Hearing this, Puton, who was already a little wrinkled on his face, unconsciously tensed his body: "What is the result?" ”

"Victory!" The herald suppressed the excitement in his heart and slowly spat out the two words.

The white mist in his mouth rose, and the pressure in Puton's heart slowly discharged with this comfort. That's enough for those two words! In fact, before the start of this battle, Poolon was still very hesitant, after all, the opponent was Sommer this time. It took a week to get the news, and it was a relief for Puton. He was very afraid that Wei Xu would fail, and remembered how a group of people had escaped under the leadership of the young Wei Xu before, and then established Half Moon Town and defeated Phocles......

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he went from an ordinary bandit vice-captain to a legion commander in charge of a legion. Puton actually wanted to face Somer's battlefield head-on, but he also knew that this was a rule that had been established before, and the garrison could not participate in the war unless it was a last resort. Second, he also knows his current situation, if he has the ability to lead a legion, he really belongs to the kind of defense that is more than enough to defend and not enough to attack. And Wilcas of the Second Legion, his talent is definitely more than that.

"Your Excellency?" The herald was silent for a long time, and then called softly.

"Hmm...... Passing the order, starting today, we will go on alert, double the distance that scouts can probe outside, and double the number of scouts! Puton groaned for a moment, then spoke softly to the herald behind him.

"Yes! My lord! Although the herald did not understand why he had to strengthen his defense after winning the battle, he still bowed down after receiving the order.

Truth be told, Purton is a very timid man, and before he does something, he always thinks about various failures and the dangers that lie after it. Even so, he didn't say anything, and he wouldn't be timid if he had to. So this kind of personality mixed up caused everyone to feel that Purton was very stable, and every decision seemed to be well thought out.

Why be on guard after this situation of receiving victory on the battlefield of Hesomer? Puton didn't think that because of the victory against Somer, the key to letting his group of men relax was that he was also on the front line, and he was facing the Rift Territory army of the Storm Cloak rebels. What if the opponent wants to attack while the territory is empty?

After all, this kind of thing is also possible, and Pullon would never say anything like that because a Nord would not stab a knife in the back against the lord of Somer, he firmly believes that as long as there is a little possibility, then don't relax!

On the other side, Ammid's brows were almost furrowed. What's the situation? Why did the enemy suddenly increase their vigilance? Enemy scouts can be seen from such a distance, and this is the fourth wave!

"Hehe, I'll just say, it's definitely not that simple to dare to fight with Somo head-on." As the second generation of nobles, Harald, who was forcibly stuffed by his mother for exercise, was not in a bad mood at this time, but said in a tone of adoration.

When Ammid heard his junior say this, he turned around and glared at him fiercely, "Are you from our side or from the enemy's side?" ”

Being glared at like this by Ammid, Harald was much more well-behaved. He shrunk his neck and hurriedly said, "Of course it's ours...... Uncle Harald...... I'm just kidding......"

"Cut!" Ammid made an unpleasant sound. It stands to reason that he was just ridiculed by a young man from his nephew's generation. However, he was not angry, and continued to quietly observe the scouts in the distance. While mentally estimating the distance from here to the Taniguchi stronghold. If the other party's scouts really probed here, then they would have to wait for the end of this wave of scout patrols and choose to march quickly to see if they could reach the enemy's stronghold before they were discovered.

……

Wei Xu really didn't expect that he would be stabbed in the back this time, he made an obvious mistake, that is, he thought that the Nords were very smart and principled. According to his logic, fighting Somo by himself is an external battle. Therefore, at this time, all lords should not be the same enemy, and their backs should be safe. It's a pity that a certain lord of Rift Valley City is not ambitious enough and only focuses on immediate interests. Compared to fighting the Half-Moon Territory in the south, it must be easier for the Half-Moon Territory to clean up, after all, I have fought with Somo before, and the territory is in a stage of emptiness. But fortunately, Purton was very stable, he thought of this possibility, and also took precautions.

"Cod, I asked you to intercept the grain before, but what about the materials you intercepted?" Wei Xu, who was watching a group of warriors block the wild horses running from nowhere on the grassland to a temporary fence, suddenly asked Kede next to him.

"Boss, I'm just about to tell you about this." Cord's face was a little ugly.

"What's wrong?" Wei Xu asked curiously. That's enough to support thousands of people for half a month, which is not a small amount. Wei Xu wasn't afraid that Kede would be greedy for ink, but he still had a bad feeling when he saw Kede's expression.

"Lost food......" said Cord, his heart was full of bitterness.

"How could I have lost it?" Wei Xu was also very unhappy in his heart, Kede, as the commander of the cavalry, has always performed very well, why did he lose it this time?

"We dragged the intercepted supplies to a bear cave in a nearby dense forest to store them, but when we went to look for them after the battle, we found that the grain and the guard guarding it were gone......" said Cod, kneeling down on one knee towards Wei Xu. My lord...... This time I was derelict in my duty, and Cod is willing to be punished! ”

Looking at Kede like this, Wei Xu couldn't say anything. After all, it is impossible for them to stay there with all their hands to guard the supplies, and they are still needed on the battlefield.

"You get up first...... Speak well. Wei Xu sighed and gently helped Kede up.

"I suspect that the guard guarding the supplies stole it!" After being helped up by Wei Xu, Kede said in a determined tone.

"No...... He couldn't have dragged away that much grain by himself...... There should be someone else in that forest! Wei Xu directly denied Code's speculation. But we still have to take a look at what the situation is, after all, the half-moon leader is not what they say they will catch! ”
