Chapter 298: Returning with a full load
In the early morning, the logistics base of the Bright Empire was peaceful.
During this time period, there were no countless various materials transported from all over the empire to be counted and put into storage, and there were no countless horse-drawn carts full of supplies ready to be transported to the front line.
"Stars!"
"Rain and dew!"
After the captain had finished the command, the two teams of soldiers began to change guards, replacing the tired soldiers who had been guarding for a night.
"There's nothing special about the night, is it?" After inspecting the various defensive points, the captain who came to take over the defense asked the captain who was about to return to the camp to rest.
"Nothing, just rats arguing all night." The captain yawned and said unhappily.
After all, he has finished his duty, and whoever delays his rest time will not be in a good mood.
"Rats? The magician had just finished cleaning up the rats with his magic, so how could there still be rats in the warehouse? The current captain on duty felt that something was wrong, and thought suspiciously.
"How much food can a swarm of rats eat in one night? Besides, the rats were not cleaned up, and it was the responsibility of the magician. After the change of guard, the captain led his soldiers in the direction of the camp, and the voice floated slowly.
"Open the hatch and check it thoroughly!" This conscientious captain decided to open a warehouse for inspection, after all, he had just finished expelling the rats, and then there were rats making noise at night, which seemed a bit abnormal.
The huge door of the granary was opened, and countless grains were piled inside, looking indistinguishable from usual.
"Captain, are you being too careful?" I saw that in the granary that I was in charge of, there was nothing unusual about the grain. The soldiers under the captain had a grumbling tone. "It doesn't look like anything unusual here."
"No anomaly is the biggest anomaly!" His eyes swept over the ground, and the rat tracks on the ground made the captain frown. "Is it normal that there are so many rats, the food has not moved at all, and there is no mouse droppings left?"
"Turn over the grain!" The captain, who suddenly felt that something was wrong, shouted an order to his subordinates.
Just when the soldier under the captain climbed on top of the grain pile as high as a mountain with a shovel, and waved the shovel to turn over the pile of grain, the shovel shoveled into the grain and made a crisp sound of wood breaking, and the soldier fell directly into it.
Boom Boom!
As if the soldier had dug through some structural support, the huge grain pile began to collapse inward, kicking up a large amount of dust.
After the dust clears. Except for the wailing soldiers. Aside from the small amount of wooden support structures, the amount of grain piled on the ground is pitiful.
The damn thief actually hollowed out the entire grain pile from the inside, and then left a thin layer of grain covering the surface to camouflage.
It's just one night's time!
Thinking that he had inspected the grain in the warehouse yesterday, the captain was shocked.
Wrong. Such a huge amount of food. It is impossible to transport it quickly on such an unsheltered plain. Maybe the food can be found again!
Without thinking about it, the captain smashed the magic crystal placed in the soldier's duty office, and the terrible siren sounded throughout the logistics base of the Bright Empire.
"Report, all the grain from the No. 3 grain depot has been stolen!"
Report. About one-fifth of the grain remains in the No. 2 grain depot! ”
"Report, all the grain from the No. 3 grain depot has been stolen!"
Listening to the bad news from his subordinates, the Holy Empire's logistics director's feet couldn't help but tremble.
The food that was enough for more than a million troops to use for three months was actually stolen in one night, and even if he grew a hundred heads, it would not be enough to cut off!
"Notify the nearby garrison and completely block this plain!" Holding back the panic in his heart, the logistics director finally made up his mind, stabilized his mind and began to give orders. "It is impossible for such a huge amount of grain to be transported away unconsciously, it must be hidden nearby, hurry up and find it! If this food is destroyed by the enemy, we are doomed! ”
"Yes!"
The heralds who stood in a line in front of the logistics director shouted neatly after receiving the name, and then turned to go to the armies.
"Wait, one more!" The logistics chief suddenly thought of something, and said to the herald who had not had time to leave: "Pay attention to our weapons and armor, the thieves who can steal so much food silently have no reason to turn a blind eye to these war supplies of ours!" ”
"Yes!"
Rumble!!!
Before the herald could leave the logistics chief's tent, the sky was red with flames.
"It's over." The logistics director looked at the flames rising from the window of the tent, and sat down on the ground with his feet limp.
Where the flames rose were warehouses of supplies with a lot of equipment. Under such a fire, even if the fire is quickly extinguished, at least more than half of the equipment inside will be burned.
Burst!
A mouthful of blood spurted out from the logistics director of the Holy Spirit Empire, and he fell to the ground unconscious.
"Sir?! Enchanter! Enchanter!!! ”
Without the supreme command, the logistics base became even more chaotic
"Hmm, hum~"
Walking along the path of the Empire of Light, I hummed a song while shaking a chain with nothing on it.
On this chain, what was just hung was the detonation crystal that detonated the entire logistics base of the Bright Empire.
Because I didn't carry any supplies other than a handful of cloth wrapped around my back, these soldiers of the Empire of Light, who were trying to check on something from the passing carriages, didn't bother to care about a little mercenary like me.
Except for the fact that Berenac couldn't be thrown into the dimensional space and was wrapped in cloth by me, other blinking equipment and other things were thrown into the dimensional space by me, and after putting on a set of ordinary wear-resistant clothes and a black cloak, I didn't look anything special.
A magic array that detects space magic equipment?
Having learned almost all the knowledge of space magic, I felt no pressure on this tattered magic array. Now my dimensional space only releases a small amount of spatial magic fluctuations when it is opened, and a magic array with poor sensitivity may not be discovered even if it is attached to it.
As for the Seven Yao Ring on my wrist, because of some spatial magic patterns on it, throwing it into the dimensional space will destroy the stability of the dimensional space, and it can only be worn on my hand, after all, I don't want to walk, because my dimensional space is unstable and keeps dropping things out or disappearing into the endless dimensional space. But without the Space Magic Core, who can tell that this is a space magic equipment?
As for where is the space magic core above, where do you think the space magic elements needed for the "Dragon Emperor's Spitting" folding space came from!
Bypassing the city along the way, and under the cover of the clouds, it only took me two days to return to the dwarves.
After passing through the magic array that detected the space magic equipment, I easily left the plain, found a place inaccessible and flew into the sky, flying in the direction of the dwarves.
As for Anne, who came to see the excitement, let's stay cool!
She thought we would bring a large army over to storm the Holy Empire's logistics base.
"Yo, Liara, you're fast, it looks like the Shadow Empire's logistics base is finished." Landing from the sky in the Dwarven King's City, watching that Riala's magical spaceship had already returned, I smiled and greeted Riala, who was already waiting for me in the conference room.
"The Shadow Empire's logistics base is finished, but the food hasn't been returned." Liara pouted with anger. "The perverts of the Phantom Empire actually mixed poison in all the food, and let the soldiers of the Phantom Empire take it themselves, while the logistics department is responsible for distributing the antidote every day, and they are not afraid of taking more. It's useless for us to bring back this kind of food mixed with poison! ”
"me, so exaggerated?" I stuck out my tongue and told the dwarves to hurry up and prepare the granary.
In order to hold all the food, I had to expand my dimensional space.
In order to maintain such a large dimensional space, the mana consumed has long exceeded the natural recovery rate of my mana value.
If it weren't for the mana recovery potion, I don't think I would have been able to bring back so much food. (To be continued......)
