After a night of repairs, the 2nd Regiment of the Storm Army, led by Duke, continued to advance in the direction of Marseille City. Once you have passed through Andorra la Vella, you will be less than a hundred kilometers from Marseille, and at the current pace, you will be able to reach it in two days.

It will take two more days on Duke's side, but Princess Gina will not be able to last even a day, because Yarman has told Count Bute what happened in the barracks, causing a crisis of confidence between the two sides.

Count Bute was completely unaware of Yarman's arrogance and provocation in the barracks, and thought that the royal knights were arrogant and indulgent, and killed their own soldiers at will. Originally, he had planned to halve the supply, but now he didn't even have half of it, and only sent a quarter of the usual supply.

It is estimated that this quarter, still seeing the face of the Emperor of the French Empire, is afraid that he will pursue it in the future, otherwise Count Bute will plan to directly cut off the supply to the Jina Legion.

If you change to a disciplined force, save some porridge or something, and it will not be a problem to stay up for a few days. But Princess Gina led an army that was completely out of control, and when the meal was opened at noon that day, in the face of completely insufficient food, the entire military camp immediately exploded, and these stragglers under the leadership of the knights directly surrounded Princess Jina's big tent.

Adams led the remaining twenty or so royal knights, fully armed and waiting to watch the soldiers in front of him, their duty was to ensure the absolute safety of Princess Gina.

It's just that these twenty or so people, in the face of a barracks of thousands of people, seem so insignificant. Especially among the surrounding soldiers, there is also a cavalry of 1,000 people, as long as the cavalry charges, the royal knights of more than 20 people are undoubtedly mantis arms as a chariot.

Inside the camp, facing the shouts of the soldiers outside, Ya's face was also a little nervous at the moment. It's not that he's greedy for life and afraid of death, but if there is really a chaotic situation, then the princess's safety will not be guaranteed.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I have already put the horses behind the tent, if the situation changes, we will cover your horses, and then you will quickly evacuate. ”

Hearing Adams' words, especially feeling the tense situation outside the tent, Gina was still hesitant at the moment. If he left like this, then the fate of the royal knights would have been sealed, and this group of subordinates would have been loyally guarding him for the next year, and Jina would not be able to watch them die.

"No, I can't just leave. I still have a little gold in my tent, which I can buy from the market to ensure the basic supply. ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is a supply for thousands of people, how many can you last with your little gold coin?"

Adams was also a little anxious, and his tone was obviously not as respectful and polite as before.

"It's okay, Duke should be almost there. Gina muttered.

"Your Royal Highness, Storm Fort is a long way from Marseille City, and even the Storm Army can't reach it so quickly. Not to mention that the Storm Army is all hoplites, according to the general fast march of the mainland, it should take ten days, we can't hold out for so long!"

"How long can it last, if these thousands of people really become rebels, it will be a serious burden for the current empire. Even if it is finally settled, the damage caused is immeasurable. Adams, carry out the order. ”

Hearing what Princess Jina said, Adams could only nod hatefully, he didn't know whether Her Royal Highness the princess's character for the sake of the empire was good or bad, but Adams, as a royal court knight, had seen too many power struggles, and as a royal family, he was too selfless, and not all good people had good rewards.

Adams was ordered to go out to negotiate, and now the leader of the rout was a down-and-out viscount named Oldman.

This guy originally became a down-and-out aristocrat because he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and he had nothing to do in his hometown, but because of the shortage of troops in the French Empire, he was forced to even pull a reserve army like the Eleventh Army to the battlefield. The normal knights were also recruited in the previous batches of conscriptions, and the conditions could only be relaxed, so this batch of indiscriminate gangsters and blind knights had the opportunity to be incorporated into the Frontier Knights, and Oldman was one of them.

Although he is a down-and-out nobleman, the identity of the viscount in this world is very different from the civilian class, and when he was recruited, Oldman became the head of the Frontier Knights.

At the beginning of the Andorran encounter, the reason why the Frontier Knights took the lead in the rout was also because this guy was as timid as a mouse, and when he saw that the opponent was the Spartan Legion known on the mainland, he took the lead in running away. The regimental commanders all ran away, and it was originally a group of improvised conscripted rabble, and of course the entire Frontier Knights quickly collapsed. In terms of their records and effects, they are not even as good as the 11th Army Corps of the Reserve Army, at least there are still a group of people who have fought bloodily.

Of course, although there is a lot of garbage in recruiting knights, there is still a sense of honor to be a knight in this era. After the defeat, many knights were ashamed of their actions and chose to return to their fiefdoms. But Oldman, a down-and-out nobleman, has nowhere to go, except for a small fortress handed down from his ancestors, basically the fiefdom has been sold, and he has nothing to do after collecting a group of similar gangster knights, just when Princess Gina gathers the rout, they can be soldiers again.

It can only be said that Princess Jina lacks experience, this black sheep should be killed immediately, and the entire Frontier Knights will be dispersed and repatriated, and this kind of garbage knights will only become a scourge. As a result, Ji Na had the idea of replenishing the strength of the empire, and saw that there were still thousands of cavalry, and finally accepted them, forming today's situation where the tail can't get rid of being forced into the palace.

Seeing Adams come out with a gloomy face, Oldman was still a little weak-hearted, but with so many people around him, he had enough confidence in his heart, and pretended to take a step forward and said: "Knight Commander Adams, now that the barracks are about to run out of food, should Her Royal Highness the princess give an explanation?"

Seeing Oldman's appearance of being strong on the outside, Adams regretted a little why he didn't stab this knight scum to death with a sword. But now the situation is different, he can only suppress his anger and reply: "The supply in the barracks is only a temporary difficulty, and Her Royal Highness will solve this problem soon." ”

"How long does it take to solve, now we don't have enough to eat. ”

A disheveled bearded man next to him roared, still playing with medieval backgammon pieces in his hand, and looked at him with a defiant expression. After all, in the past, the royal knights were a high class, and now there is finally a chance to provoke them.

"I said that it would be resolved, don't you understand people?"

Adams also replied coldly, he has been fed up with this kind of wretched anger in the recent period, and it is better to fight to the death on the battlefield.

"Brothers, these royal knights eat and drink spicy food themselves, they plan to starve us to death, there must be a lot of things hidden in the camp!"

Hearing this bearded man's instigation, the rout soldiers surrounding the princess's tent began to be a little nervous. In fact, everyone knows how many things can be hidden in a camp, and it is more to stimulate the primitive wildness in their hearts, and they want to challenge and violate the royal princess who is high above!
