Raven City.

This is the closest city to the City of Great Stones, and it is also the city where Vega once led his army to face Theon.

Nowadays, feng shui rotates.

The city is now occupied by the West Bank forces led by Aiden, who are also in the midst of a huge dilemma that Vega once faced – a lack of food.

Downstream wealth is wealthy.

But the real riches are in the plains behind the Boulder City, not in the hilly and mountainous areas where the Nine Cities of the Crows are located. Therefore, after repelling Ferre Gary's army and learning that Aiden had counterattacked the city of Crows and occupied the nine cities of the crows, Vega did not rush to lead his troops to kill them all.

He's waiting......

Wait for Aiden to run out of ammunition, and then break himself.

This scene made Vega, who was standing on the tower of the Megalith City looking in the direction of the Crow City, sigh a little, even he did not know that a few months later, he and the enemy army came to switch positions.

In the other way, return the other.

At the beginning, the West Bank army held on to the boulder, and Vega had no choice but to take risks and give it a go.

From this, it can be seen that holding on cannot be so lethal to the enemy.

When Vega adopted the same strategy, Aiden, who was in the city of Grey Raven, was already holding his head in pain and didn't know what to do, especially when the officers in the conference room were arguing and shouting, which made him even more distracted.

Eat a trench, grow a wisdom.

When no one makes you suffer and frustrate, you don't grow up.

Aiden has always lived under the wing of Ferre Gary, and even the military merit of promotion to general was taken by Ferre Gary from other officers, so he has no command experience at all.

But experienced this failure.

Aiden really realized that his uncle was good, and at the same time understood that he no longer had anyone to rely on, and the only one he could rely on was himself. If you don't want to find a way out of the predicament, then you can only die here.

"How many soldiers and supplies do we have now?"

Aiden's words silenced the conference room, and everyone looked at each other, and then a staff officer stood up and said: "We have killed 30,000 in this battle, 70,000 are missing, and now there are still 150,000 soldiers, of which they are basically reserves. ”

"But ......"

The staff officer paused, and then said with a sad face: "But since you ordered a decisive battle with the enemy, each soldier only carries seven days' marching rations, and if there are no new supplies before tomorrow evening, we are afraid that we will ......."

The staff officer closed his mouth.

Aiden opened his mouth, and subconsciously wanted to say, can't 150,000 people still attack the city of the Stone?

But at this moment, he calmed down again, forcibly recalling every scene he had been teased by Vega, and this huge sense of humiliation and fear finally made him let go of that conceit.

It was at this time.

Aiden said something that surprised everyone: "May I ask you, how did the enemy army and our army spend until today when they were short of food?"

"General, you mean ......"

The officers suddenly looked at Aiden with admiration, is this still the second ancestor who had no opinions and was blindly arrogant?

"Pass the order down and loot the civilians!"

Aiden did not hesitate to give a cruel order, at the beginning, Vega only took half of the food of the civilians of the Nine Cities of Gray Ravens, but now Aiden wants to take the other half of the food, and now it is winter, this is to let the civilians starve to death.

"General, slow. ”

The staff officer hurriedly stopped: "Although this move can indeed solve the urgent need, but we have taken all the food of the civilians, not only will we lose the hearts of the people, but I am afraid that when they can't hold on, they will spontaneously organize to resist us." ”

"If we get out of here, where are they going to rebel against us?" Aiden's thoughts seemed to become clear.

But this time, it was the turn of the officers to be puzzled.

They voiced their doubts: "Forgive me for being stupid, and I ask the general, where can we flee with a boulder in front of us and a moat in the back?"

"Build a ship, cross the east bank of the river!"

Aiden was succinct and seemed to be a completely different person: "If you want to return to the middle and upper reaches through the Donbu River, you may be intercepted by the air force of the Boulder City, but if we secretly go to the east bank, the enemy army will definitely be unpredictable, and then this mess in the Nine Cities of Gray Ravens will be able to disgust that damn little ghost." ”

"The general is wise!"

The crowd shouted excitedly, they had never looked at the east coast, which made them sigh that this might be the difference between a high-ranking general and an ordinary officer, the former looking at the overall situation, while the latter was narrow-sighted.

It is no exaggeration to say that this decision was flawless.

Crossing the east bank of the river not only solves their current predicament, but may also be able to force Vega to retreat, after all, everyone knows that the main force on the east bank is in the hands of Vega. Now that Saint Laurent is extremely empty, and their 150,000 troops are coming to the city, do Vegaan dare not retreat?

At the end of the meeting, the crowd carried out the order.

When Aiden was the only one left in the conference room, he stood up quietly, but his legs, which had been trembling because of nervousness since the beginning of the meeting, went weak, and Aiden fell directly to the ground.

But at the last moment, he grabbed the edge of the table and stood up stiffly.

"Hahaha!"

The loud laughter echoed in the conference room, until tears burst into laughter, and Aiden said leisurely: "People, after all, you have to grow up, and I don't want to be me anymore." ”

————

A few days later, the city of megaliths.

Vega couldn't believe his ears when he learned that Aiden had looted the civilian food for supplies and ordered the building of boats to steal the fishing boats of the civilian ones and flee across the Donbu River to the east bank.

This decision is simply a matter of putting life on the line.

Although fleeing to the east coast will also be besieged and blocked, it does not seem to be a big deal compared to the current predicament. And just run away, and leave him a lot of messes, after all, now the downstream is his territory, and he has to clean up if he doesn't clean up.

But is this really the thing that the good-for-nothing Second Ancestor did?

This has nothing in common with Viga's impression of Aiden Gary, after all, this decision can't help but applaud even him, and he really doesn't believe that Aiden can come up with such a plan.

But the facts were in front of him, and Vega had to believe them.

Gently putting down the battle report, Vega sighed and said: "Perhaps, letting him live outside Boulder City was the most wrong step in my game, I just hope that I am worried." ”

"The order goes down. ”

Vega put down his thoughts and made a remedial measure: "You rush to Saint Laurent overnight and report the news of the escape of the West Bank army to the East Bank, so that he can gather his army and clear the enemy army. ”

"Yes, General. ”

"Chief of Staff. ”

"To. ”

Vega instructed the chief of staff: "You go and open a warehouse to release grain, and help the nine cities, remember to let them take out the IOU I left at the beginning, give them twice the grain, and say that they will return it to them with interest." ”

"Yes, General. ”

The chief of staff glanced at Vega with admiration, he didn't expect that when he was searching for food, Vega actually foresaw the current victory and laid such a deep foreshadowing.

This move of bringing profits and returning all the money will not only regain the hearts of the people, but also earn a reputation for honesty and trustworthiness. After all, now that the Nine Cities have been looted, Vega's actions are completely a send-off.
