178 The siege of the tents

[NEW](.)

Seeing these routs, Adams knew that a mutiny was imminent, so he simply drew his long sword at his waist, and the other royal knights also surrounded him with shields, forming a human wall in front of the princess's tent.

Seeing that the royal knights were moving, this group of routs began to subconsciously take a step back, but after all, they had an absolute advantage in numbers, and soon the scene began to be restless. Many people then picked up the weapons beside them and began to confront the royal knights, and the conflict was about to break out.

"As the princess of the French Empire, I promise that the problem of supplying food will be solved, do you want to rebel?"

A sharp female voice came out of the tent, and Jina was wearing royal armor at the moment, and appeared in front of the tent heroically, without the slightest sense of restraint and retreat before.

Seeing Ji Na appearing, the rout soldiers who were about to use their weapons before subconsciously put down the swords in their hands. No matter how numerous they are, but the identity of the boss and the royal princess can still cause them enough deterrence, after all, the French Empire has not perished, this is just a temporary crisis, and they want to rebel and weigh the consequences.

The bearded man who provoked Adams before he came, and at this moment he also stood aside without speaking, seeing this situation, Oldman could only come out and say: "Your Royal Highness, as soldiers of the Empire, of course we will not rebel. However, now that supplies have been drastically reduced, many of the soldiers have no longer been able to eat. ”

"I know this suffering, there will be supplies coming soon, you go back to the camp first and wait, this is an order!"

Hearing Gina say this, Oldman could only beckon the rout to disperse temporarily.

Seeing the group of defeated soldiers in front of her, Ji Na's face was full of disdain, this group of cowards really tarnished the title of imperial soldiers! At the same time, it is precisely because they are a group of cowards who run away without a fight, so at present, when they have just run out of food, they don't have the courage to rebel and just make noise here.

But if you can't solve the supply crisis yourself, maybe when they are all hungry, this matter will not be so easy to solve.

So after Jina returned to the camp, she took out all the remaining gold coins in the camp, in fact, the empire's military supply had long been cut off, and the money in it was considered Jina's private property.

It's just that Ji Na doesn't have much money this time, because as a freshman who has just graduated from the Imperial Martial Arts Academy, she doesn't have her own independent fiefdom, so naturally she has no financial income. And he lent Duke all the private money before, and now Duke has not repaid the five thousand gold coins, which is why Adams said that Jena's money can't solve the problem.

But now she has no choice, so she can only communicate with the Lord of Marseille while purchasing supplies from Marseille City in her private capacity. However, the supply of these thousands of people is really not something that Ji Na can solve with a little private money, and she can only barely ensure the supply of rations for the next few meals.

......

"Fedor, there should be Marseille City in front of you, right?"

Duke was riding on his war horse at this time, looking at a city at the far end of the horizon, a fifty-kilometer march a day is nothing at all in modern times, something that can be done in a few dozen minutes by car. But in this day and age, it's something that takes a day to do.

This is still the Storm Army's strict discipline, and as a professional army, it is at the forefront of this era in all aspects of training and physical strength, if it is changed to an ordinary lord army, it can march thirty kilometers a day, which is considered to be above the passing level. 、

"That's right, there's Marseille ahead. ”

Fedor looked at the city in the distance, and although his expression was calm, Duke felt the tremor in his tone. Don't look at Fei Duo is only in his twenties this year, but after experiencing family changes, he usually behaves very old, and he usually does not have this kind of tone fluctuation.

"Fedor, are you familiar with the city of Marseille?" asked Duke casually.

"Well, the city of Marseille is my hometown, and the previous lord of the city was my father. ”

Hearing Fei Duo say this, Duke was directly stunned, he had long known that Fei Duo was a down-and-out nobleman who had fled to Storm Castle a long time ago, so he would have the foundation to become a high-level swordsman and cultivate sword qi. But he really didn't expect that the city of Marseille was actually the hometown of Fedo, and his father was also the former lord of Marseille!

"What the hell is going on?" Duke couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and asked Fedor.

"The current lord of the city, Count Bute, is the son of Duke Carman of the Duchy of Bute. My father disobeyed the orders of the Duke of Carman and was defeated and killed by the Duke. That's why my mother and I fled to Stormcastle for refuge, but that was more than a decade ago, and it's all gone. ”

It had been so long since Fedo had been the second regimental leader, and it was the first time Duke knew that Fedo had such a background. Although Duke was curious about what was going on with Fedor, it was clear that Fedor didn't want to talk about it too much, and now that there were too many Storm Army soldiers behind him, Duke could only hold back his curiosity.

"Warriors of the Storm Army, the city of Marseille is right in front of our eyes, let's go!"

Duke shouted a shout, cheering up the second regiment of the Storm Army, after all, after five days of non-stop marching, even if he had a war horse, his thighs had been worn out, and now it was finally coming.

"Storm Army, forward!"

All the Storm Army soldiers also responded with the Storm Army slogan with high morale, compared to Duke, they are much more tired, but their mental outlook is still good, which makes Duke very satisfied.

The Storm Army is about to arrive in Marseille City, but at this moment, Jina's military camp has reached the point of tension due to supply problems.

Because a quarter of the supply, even if it is added to Princess Jina's private money, it still can't meet the needs of an army of thousands of people. From the first day of barely drinking porridge, to the second day, the entire military camp fell into a situation of running out of food.

As for Princess Gina's negotiations with the Lord of Marseille, it ended in vain, and Count Bout rejected Princess Gina's request very strongly, after all, Duke Bout is not an ordinary lord, he is a member of the Bout family, and he has the Duchy of Bout as a backer behind him.

Duke Carman, as one of the several major dukes and giants of the French Empire, in the current state of the French Empire, really didn't dare to do anything to his son Count Bute, which was also the biggest confidence for the Lord of Marseille to dare to interrupt the supply.

Outside Princess Jina's camp, this time it was not only for the rout of the Eleventh Legion, but even the outer border knights had already mounted their horses and were ready to charge. With the precedent of the first siege, the routs also felt the powerlessness of Princess Gina and the royal knights, and the fear in their hearts was about to dissipate, just like many ** happens, people who are in excitement will not consider the consequences!8)
