Chapter 163: The Doge's Wrath
The Land of Ghoul Outbreaks, located in the Kuwait Province of the Empire, in a place called 'Mangrove Village'. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
With Mangrove Village as the center, a radius of dozens of miles, it has all fallen and been occupied by ghouls.
Fortunately, this is a mountainous area, not a plain.
On all the main roads, there are 1,000 elite soldiers dispatched by the governor's palace, as well as more than 700 'elite soldiers' from neighboring towns and villages.
It was just this more than 1,700 soldiers, although they did not exterminate the ghouls, but they stationed a strong defense line to besiege the ghouls in the mountains of Nuoda, effectively preventing them.
After the soldiers fought with the ghouls, the original plan of encirclement and suppression became encirclement but not suppression.
The governor of Kuwait, Lord Locks, left the place when everything was arranged, and went to the towns and cities to ask for reinforcements.
After a few days, the Governor Locks hit a wall one after another, and even had the heart to die.
However, he finally got the ...... A reinforcement.
One of the original Templars of the Church of Light, he later broke away from the Church and followed William Kane.
Of course, Governor Locks did not know Kane's true identity.
He only hoped in his heart that the Kane in front of him, who had always been indifferent, was a real master, not a vain and arrogant showman.
.........
Locks took Kane, day and night, from Sunset Town, and when he came back, it was dusk the next afternoon.
At this moment, the Governor looked tired, yawning incessantly, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.
He had just completed the handover of military power and became the top military commander of more than 1,700 soldiers here...... However, he, the supreme military general, had just laid down on the hard bed in the main tent, and before he could sleep for a while, he was dragged here by Kane.
Kane, however, still had a grim look on his face.
Like a tireless machine, he condescendingly looked at the vast mountains below, suddenly frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, the forest here is too dense. A careless one at night is very vulnerable to a sneak attack by ghouls. ”
"Those ghouls are as stupid as a pig, where do they understand what sneak attack tactics are. Mr. Kane, you think too highly of them. ”
Governor Locks sighed and said, "Mr. Kane, we traveled all night yesterday, and now I'm sleepy, I'll go sleep first, and you can rest well." ”
At last, seeing Kane's furrowed brows, Governor Locks said, "The day after tomorrow! At the latest, all the nobles and lords in the neighboring towns with private soldiers in their hands will come." I have already issued a supreme military order in the name of the Governor's Palace, and this time they will not dare not come. ”
"After that, when we've got enough soldiers, we'll renegotiate the encirclement plan and attack it together, and wipe out these damned ghouls in one fell swoop! What do you think, Mr. Kane?"
Kane shook his head and said, "Lord Governor, we can't afford to delay any longer. There must be survivors in this mountainous area who have not been infected and have become ghouls. They need our immediate rescue. ”
When Governor Locks heard this, his face instantly sank.
He really felt that this Kane was a little unaware.
If it weren't for William's face, he would have scolded Kane a long time ago. I'm a provincial governor, what do I need you to teach?
Governor Locks was a little angry, but he didn't dare to really get angry.
William Rest, though only a small viscount, was personally gifted by His Majesty Charles IX. And the beer business and perfume business of the Lester family are also getting bigger and bigger, and they are simply the largest business family in Kuwait, which cannot be easily offended.
Not to mention these, the water city in the center of Haimanxing Province has changed from a barren place to a prosperous water city with a far-reaching reputation.
Not long ago, Governor Locks heard from a close friend that the amount of tax revenue in Yuanxin Water City now reached millions of gold coins in just one month!
It's a gold coin! Printed with the face of Charlemagne, a golden gold coin!
Oh my God, that's a terrifying number, almost enough to catch up with half a year's total tax revenue for a province in Kuwait.
William Rest made such a terrible deed, taking advantage of the state banquet held by His Majesty Charles IX this time, he returned to the imperial capital to report on his duties, and he would definitely be rewarded heavily, and he would be red after red.
If it weren't for the fact that William was too young, his qualifications were still shallow, and he didn't have any big family support behind him. Governor Locks even felt that His Majesty Charles IX would definitely promote him to sit firmly as the governor of the province of Haimanxing, and to administer the land of a province.
All kinds of speculations, Governor Locks finds it terrifying to think about.
And this Kane is the person next to William, and Governor Locks does not want to turn his face against him.
He said bitterly: "Mr. Kane, those survivors in the mountains, we are here to save. But we have to do what we can, don't we? We only have 1,700 troops, and what about the ghouls? There are more than 2,000 of them! That's just a rough estimate. ”
After a pause, Governor Locks continued: "In this mountainous area, there are five small villages such as Mangrove Village, and a small town of Rouse with a population of more than seven hundred. ”
"If, suppose the town of Rolls also falls to the ghouls...... There are more than 3,000 ghouls, which is twice the number of our current troops!"
After telling this worrying fact, Governor Locks sighed: "Now we have to wait for reinforcements to arrive. Mr. Kane, I hope you understand. ”
Kane's face softened slightly.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Just wait for the last two days." Now, however, I have a proposal, and I ask the Governor to order the soldiers to carry it out. ”
Governor Locks hurriedly said, "Mr. Kane, please speak up. ”
"It's the same thing from before. Right now, the trees are too dense. Ask Governor Locks to set fire to the mountain. Kane said slowly.
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and immediately give a military order and let the soldiers set fire to the mountain. Excuse me, does Mr. Kane have any advice on dealing with ghouls?" Governor Locks said directly without shirking when he heard this.
Kane shook his head, "No, Lord Governor. You go and rest, I'm going to patrol the nearby hills. ”
When Governor Locks heard this, he hurriedly beckoned an adjutant to follow Kane, while he himself turned and walked down the hill.
However, Governor Locks wanted to get a good night's sleep, but unfortunately the heavens did not grant him.
He was lying on a hard wooden bed, and as soon as he closed his eyes, soldiers outside reported that two men claiming to be 'William' and 'Master Rhine' were waiting to see him outside the camp.
Governor Locks suddenly felt the urge to kill. He got up from the wooden bed, his eyes bloodshot and roared, "Get out!
The soldier hurriedly retreated.
However, within three seconds, Governor Locks immediately regretted it and stopped the soldier who was about to leave.
With a gloomy face, he reluctantly got up and put on his shoes and said, "Go, and invite Viscount William and the others politely." ”
"Your Excellency, don't you want them to get out?"
"Lao Tzu is telling you to get out! Do you hear me clearly? What are you doing standing here stupidly? Get out!"
The soldiers who had turned back hurriedly retreated. (To be continued.) )
