"Hey, don't sneak a lump of fat into the fire, and be seen by the military judge to eat the whip."

"But without fat, meat doesn't taste good."

"Satisfied, it's good to have meat to eat, and so much laurel and salt, and then."

A veteran saw the recruit's attempt and immediately stopped him sharply.

Several valuable camels were left to the slaughter because they were so wounded that they were provided with rare meat.

The spices and salt taken from the Ottoman army removed the smell of camel meat, and the wheat cakes taken from the Ottoman camp were wrapped in piping hot slices of meat, which was indeed delicious.

'Eat the enemy for one hour, and be me for twenty minutes.' Wu Xin admired in his heart, these materials were collected by the Ottoman Empire from the mainland through the bureaucratic system, and then finally transported here.

Now these supplies are being used by Wu Xin, and the defenders and siege liberators who survived the disaster are enjoying a delicious meal around the campfire.

Although Wu Xin wanted to collect all the fat from the hump to make nutrients, most of the soldiers were satisfied, and it was a very hearty dinner.

The soldiers had reason to rejoice, that the guards had ended several months of siege and that they no longer had to sleep in fear surrounded by the enemy, and that the relief army no longer had to march in the desert every day.

They praised each other in a variety of languages, and then drank the sweet spring.

Although there was no alcohol, everyone's mood was also very good, at least Wu Xin recaptured the water source outside the city, so that they no longer had to control the water use.

The soldiers sang and danced to celebrate the victory, and could they hear the rescued people chanting Wu Xin's name and praising his bravery and loyalty.

But the officers did not get along well, although they had better rooms and better spices.

"This big tower is really sturdy, it's all made of limestone from the island of Malta, right? It's really jealous. The head of the regiment has not given such support to the port of Tripoli. Wu Xin commented on the castle while eating camel meat.

Limestone is soft when it is mined and easy to shape, but after a few years of exposure to the sun it loses its internal moisture and becomes extremely strong, making it an excellent building material, and this limestone from the island of Malta is one of the best.

The export of this building material was a major entry for the Knights Hospitaller. Apart from the island of Malta itself, only the port of Benghazi has received a free supply of this material.

"If you're as faithful to God, as we are, to the chief of the regiment, how can there not be enough limestone in the port of Tripoli?" While the soldiers were still thanking Dade, Valletta's grace for Wu Xin's life had almost dissipated, "My soldiers are cheering for your name, but they don't know that you are actually saving us for personal gain and not for faith in God." ”

"I have indeed saved you, for whatever purpose, Knight Valletta. I think you're guilty of arrogance. Wu Xin said this with a smile, he was in his hands, and there was no need to be angry, "Only the dark sun can see through people's hearts, how can you dare to determine my motives?" ”

"Indeed, Brother Valletta, you should not be presumptuous, but should follow the teachings of God. Evaluate a person by action. Delia was also irritated by Valletta's attitude, and she helped Wu Xin speak. Ask yourself, Valletta Knight, if Cesare were to be surrounded, would you sacrifice dozens of camels, hundreds of mules and horses, and then engage in a battle with an enemy five times your size? ”

Several knights and apprentices of the French group listened to Delia's words. They all nodded slightly to Wu Xin.

Of course, Vallarta can say that he will save Wu Xin, but he is silent after all, this knight of the French group is actually still shameful, only because Wu Xin let the dock burn down is too serious, he will be so anxious.

But after all, he couldn't repay Wu Xin's life-saving grace. In his opinion, this warlock is really crazy for his own power.

"The docks are ruined, and without them, the Marquis of Bazin will not be able to supply us, and we will not be able to hold on to the port of Benghazi." Valletta was not only angry, but also puzzled, he was incomprehensible to Wu Xin's behavior, "If the wind is favorable, in seven or eight days, those defeated soldiers who have fled from the sea will return to Alexandria, and they will tell that Prince Baziyed that the fortress of Benghazi Port has collapsed, and the enemy will definitely attack again as fast as possible, and we will not have time to rebuild the docks and castles."

"Even without supplies from the Spaniards, we would have relied on the troops and supplies brought by Cesare to hold the port of Benghazi." Delia paused when she said the word "port", obviously aware of the contradiction, "As for the fortress, it is not a problem, we have a whole thousand people together now, and there is no need for a fortress at all, if the enemy dares to come, we will drive them into the sea!" ”

Delia's words made Wu Xin a little worried, this was not the situation he wanted, he quietly moved his eyes, intending to let Kessler speak first.

"The next wave of the enemy will be an army of more than 10,000, maybe even 20,000." However, Valletta vetoed Delia first, "Your Excellency Sibo, we can only retreat. ”

He looked at the situation around him, and was sure that the soldiers couldn't hear the conversation between him and Wu Xin, and then suddenly came to Wu Xin's front and said viciously: "I know what kind of doctrine you are fighting, you want to drag us all back to the port of Tripoli and fill the strength of the Knights Hospitaller into your own pocket, your idea is not good at all, because it will be extremely difficult for us to escape, we have no boats, we can only retreat by land along the coastline, the enemy's fleet will definitely catch up with us, most of us will not be able to escape at all, The nearby nomadic tribes will also attack us, and if a third of them can return to the port of Tripoli alive, you should praise God. ”

"Valletta Knight, why do you think that?!" Delia shouted before Wu Xin could open his mouth, Wu Xin glanced at Delia gratefully, and then the priestess said, "We are now retreating westward by land, we can only take the troops with us, there are still thousands of residents in the port of Benghazi, we can't take them away at all, and your French team won't really listen to him, what's the use of him!" If he can't take the civilians here, he can't take them away at all, so why should he let the port of Benghazi not be able to hold on, after all, it actually protects the port of Tripoli. ”

Delia continued to excuse Wu Xin: "Valletta Knight." You know, Cesare himself had a lot of respect for God, and the problem was that his men were all lost heretics, and if he ordered his troops to put out the fire, those heretics would probably go berserk, and then they would have gone berserk. The situation is even more difficult to manage, and in any case we are all believers in the true God, and we must unite against the infidels. ”

Wu Xin found that Delia actually really knew herself, she roughly guessed her intentions, but slightly underestimated her ability.

Although Deliya didn't like Wu Xin's beliefs, she still worked hard to open up for Wu Xin in front of outsiders.

Of course, her words were very unkind to Kessler's first seat.

"Don't get excited, it's just a name." Sazastan calmed the first seat of heat with a voice that only Kessler could hear. "This chick is speaking for your master."

"Hmph, how can I be excited about trivial things, one day, we will become orthodox, and they will get the name heresy." Kessler had always hated the power of the Roman Church, but he could control himself, "You still tell me, what did His Highness Sibo tell you to do with that druid?" Destroy the dock in this way. It's really dangerous for us, but the Ottoman ship can still land. But we can't get supplies. ”

In fact, Kessler also saw the danger of not having a dock, and the Spanish capital ship was more powerful than the sail and oar boats, but it also needed a dock more.

Delia then reiterated her plan.

"We had to hold on to the port of Benghazi, which was ruined, but it was still the best natural port, and the water was very deep. When the Spanish fleet came, we could be resupplied by small boats. Delia was by no means a simple religious fanatic, and her advice was actually very sensible, "We stick to this place so that the chief of the delegation can put pressure on the Spanish side." If we flee to the west, the Marquis of Bazin will not care about us, and then we will only be pursued by the infidel fleet. ”

Valletta listened to Bursha's words and clung her head in great pain.

Not only Wu Xin, but Valletta also repeatedly asked the Marquis of Bazin to the players, but the commander still commanded his detachment to cruise in a safe place.

Strategically, the actions of the Marquis Bazin were understandable, and the fact that the Mediterranean detachment was so close to the place where the enemy's main fleet was assembled that it was likely to be eaten by the enemy in one bite, he had to defend the interests of the emperor.

"Your worries are unfounded." Galilei, who was also invited to the banquet, spoke, his injuries were still not healed, because there was no expected battle next, and he was not even willing to use the rejuvenation technique for himself, "The source of all your fears is that the enemy in Alexandria will know that Benghazi has been relieved of the siege as soon as possible, and then attack as soon as the castle is not repaired, I can assure you that this will not happen, and the enemies of Alexandria will not react to the defeat of Benghazi for a month." ”

Valletta and Delia looked at Galileet together, and when they saw him, they instantly appeased Dawang, knowing that he was a powerful druid, and a person of this status should not talk nonsense.

"You caught up with the two ships that escaped?" Valletta quickly guessed that only by intercepting those two ships could Alexandria not be able to react quickly, "You can also be a shark like Hayreddin?" ”

"Sharks?" Galilei smiled noncommittally.

Valletta judged that Galilet was roughly an "elite" peak or "core" junior druid, and it was impossible to destroy hundreds of Janisseri soldiers with such strength, even if he had any special transformations at sea, but he quickly thought of Sazastan, with the help of this powerful mage, they did have a certain possibility to eliminate those enemies who escaped from the sea.

The enemy withdrawn from the land was nothing to fear, they were much slower, and by the time their intelligence was sent to Alexandria, it was too late.

Valletta did not hesitate any longer, but directly believed in Galilei.

This is the most reasonable explanation, Wu Xin himself is afraid of being pursued by the enemy, and being pursued by the enemy who has the right to control the sea on the coastline is the most terrible thing.

And retreating inland is tantamount to giving up more than half of the lives of his subordinates.

He nodded to Wu Xin: "Since Your Highness Xibo has already arranged everything, then let's try to bring as many people as possible to the port of Tripoli." ”

In his opinion, Wu Xin's strategy is still unwise, although he has gained some soldiers and civilians, but without the shield of the port of Benghazi, the port of Tripoli has become the front line of the war between the Star Moon Cult and the True God Kingdoms, let him enjoy this taste.

"But I must state that we are still only subjects who have truly elected the Pope and the Grand Master." Deliya didn't stick to her own strategy anymore, and she still affirmed it to Wu Xin again.

This is also the voice of all the knights of the French group.

But Wu Xin was still satisfied, and he smiled and said, "Hahaha, am I not the humble servant of His Majesty the Pope?" ”

Wu Xin's target was not these knights and their apprentices in the first place, those civilians and ordinary soldiers of the Knights Hospitaller could still be absorbed.

Moreover, the temporary abandonment of the port of Benghazi will only make the Ottoman Empire face great difficulties.

……………….

In the kitchens of the Imperial Palace in Vienna, a rare play is being staged.

The cooks, who had come to work early in the morning, were surprised to find that one of their colleagues, a well-respected cook, had been hung from a hook hanging from a fat pig in the kitchen, and that he had been fatally wounded by a large cut in his back.

"Starry moon is great, Hulapala Charal!" But he still has the ability to speak.

And the female chef who is always late and leaves early, and even the female chef who openly skips work also arrives early in the morning.

"How many times has my mother told you, it doesn't matter if you make some money, it doesn't matter if you scrape some oil and water, but if anyone dares to collude with infidels, it will be a dead end."

The head chef was on a stove, scanning her men with a dangerous gaze.

These people, who had been frightened and trembling by this incident, were relieved to hear this accusation, and they all let out scolding and drew a line with this person.

"Collusion with infidels, this guy is sick, right?"

"There's so much oil and water here, and you still want to get money from the Ottoman pagans?"

"Don't worry, Chef, we'll never do such a thing."

They really really think so, and the person who can work in the kitchen of the palace, even if it is a helper, has something to do with it.

The pay here is very good, there is a lot of oil and water, it is not a problem to feed a large family, and even the housing prices in Vienna are affordable for them.

Even if he is caught eating and taking cards excessively, the punishment for his behavior is only to be whipped.

No matter how much the infidels give them intelligence, it's not worth risking such a life.

The head chef babbled a lot of things about being loyal to Austria and Ladislaus, and then slipped the chef's throat with a knife.

However, Ladislaus, who had received the report, also came, and he looked at his messy kitchen and frowned. (To be continued.) )
