Chapter 38: The Truth
"Will Schumacher, who is it?"
As the fourth game of the preliminary round came to an end, Viserys the Dragon Trainer was defeated, and Audrey the Dragon Whisperer appeared, Will's relationship with the Legion of the Sun began to surface.
This question appeared in the minds of the heads of various forces in the southern border.
Even if all the details have been sealed in history, as long as you are willing to spend money and energy, you can always unearth clues.
At the beginning, the Kalmar Alliance and the Capetian Empire fought for the three principalities along the western coast.
The Western Frontier is the narrowest area of human habitation on the entire continent, with only fragmented islands and a narrow coastline. But unlike other places, the Kalmar Alliance is the only overlord in the West.
The Kalmar Alliance is made up of a number of island city-states, which are built by military force and warriors who make a living by raiding. Over the centuries, it has gradually integrated into the behemoth it is today.
In order to obtain more resources and land, the Kalmar Alliance has been trying to seize the three principalities along the western edge and open up a passage to the south. But those three principalities have always been subject states of the Capetian Empire.
As a result, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the Kalmar Alliance and the Capetian Empire, one of the two hegemons in the south.
The great war between the two empires was fierce from the beginning.
The Kalmar Alliance mobilized the heavy forces of the three legions and frantically attacked the ports and towns along the coast of the three principalities. Due to the command error of the Capetian Empire, it not only lost more than one legion in the early stage, but also lost two vassal states other than the Duchy of Cotton.
By the time the Legion of the Sun was in danger, the Kalmar Alliance had actually gained a huge advantage.
And once the last Fort Cotton is breached, then this southward passage is completely in the hands of the Kalmar Alliance. At that time, the dozen or so legions mobilized by the Kalmar Alliance in the rear will continue to cross the strait and enter the southern border.
And the first to bear the brunt is the Capetian Empire.
Robert Carolingian led the Legion of the Sun to garrison Fort Cotton, and it was a miracle that he won the victory against three legions with the inferior strength of one legion.
And when military strategists from all over the world tried to uncover the inside story of the war, they found nothing but Robert Caroling's bravery and genius command.
The most crucial point is that Fort Cotton was besieged by the forces of the Kalmar Alliance, and its supplies were almost cut off.
On the Magic Continent, if a warrior wants to maintain his strength, he must consume enough food every day. As soon as the food and grass are cut off, the combat power of the legion will be greatly reduced.
At that time, the grain of the surrounding farms was confiscated by the Kalmar Alliance, and there was no grain within thirty miles of Fort Cotton. The castle was exhausted, but Robert was able to survive it, and this was what puzzled everyone the most.
How does food come out of thin air?
"How did you make food?"
In the president's room of the student council, Meltia and Lan Li stared at Will as if they were examining a prisoner, and asked.
Will, who had just been called by Meltia, looked puzzled, completely unaware of what was going on.
"What grain?"
"It's the food in Fort Cotton!" Lan Li asked curiously.
"We have already read the information about the battle of Fort Cotton, after the siege of the Legion of the Burning Sun, the food stored in the castle at that time could not last more than ten days, and Robert's counterattack against the Kalmar Alliance was thirteen days later. Where did you get the extra three days of food?"
"How do you know that I gave him food?"
Will asked, somewhat surprised.
"Do you need to say this?" Lan Li was a little proud, her eyebrows curled, and she said, "We checked the records of the academy, you were in the western realm at the time!"
"So what?"
"If it weren't for your kindness to the Sun Legion, how could someone as arrogant as Robert come to your aid? ”
"Actually, nothing?" Will smiled and said, "At that time, the price of food in the Duchy of Cotton rose, so I smuggled some into the city. But before I could sell it, the Kalmar Alliance's Sheep's Head Army attacked, and Fort Cotton was put under full martial law. ”
"You mean smuggling?" Lan Li said with a look of surprise.
"Don't say that, smuggling grain is killing your head. Will waved his hand dissatisfiedly and said, "I'm just helping the people at the bottom who are suffering from the war to meet their food needs! How can this kind of behavior for the benefit of the public be called smuggling?"
"But I still don't understand, if the Burning Sun Legion finds out that you are smuggling grain, shouldn't it kill you and take away the grain in the first place? What's more, at that time, the border of the Duchy of Cotton was under martial law, how did you transport the grain into the city?"
"There are shady places everywhere and Fort Cotton is no exception. It consists of an extremely secret passage that connects the inside and outside of the city, known only to a very few people, and I am one of them.
Will finished solving the doubts of the two girls, and was about to stand up and leave, but was pressed down again by Meltia.
"As far as I know, the matter of sending food alone is not enough to make the Burning Sun Legion owe you such a big favor!
"I get angry when I think about it. Will clapped his hands and said, "When I brought the grain into the city, Robert discovered the secret passage and sent someone to seal it off. I couldn't get out, so I had no choice but to give food to the Burning Sun Legion, hoping to leave. ”
Will tearfully complained about the atrocities of Robert, a feudal warlord. "Who knows that Robert, arrogant and unreasonable. Not only did they withhold my food, but they also took me down. In the end, not only did I lose money, but I almost ended up in prison. ”
"And then?" said the two women, as if they were listening to the story.
Then the men of the Sheep Head Legion struck. I figured out that if they breached the castle, it would have been even worse for me. After all, as you know, the Kalmar Alliance soldiers are notoriously tough, and their greatest hobby is to do business that has no roots. Men kill them all, women rob them all. So I put it together and came up with an idea for Robert. ”
"What's the idea?"
"Break through the enemy camp with elite forces and smash the Yellow Dragon. ”
"Robert listened?"
"Are you stupid for him?" Will looked at Lan Li helplessly, looking like you were in arrears of IQ. "The enemy's base camp is heavily guarded, and there are dozens of magicians, what's the difference between rushing over and sending them to death!"
"And how did you convince him?" asked Meltia, with blue eyes flashing.
"I still don't understand why the commander of the Kalmar Alliance built his base camp in a cave, and it is said that because of a sense of security, I prepared thousands of stink bombs. You'll know what happened after that!"
“.......!”
Thousands of stinky bombs, the two girls didn't feel swallowed, and mourned in silence for the commander of the Kalmar Alliance!
