Chapter 100: Waiting
"My lord, according to the reports of the defenders of the four counties in the river valley corridor, there is no large-scale rebellion in the entire river valley for thousands of miles, and my subordinates can be sure of this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The young nobleman snorted coldly, then slowly closed his eyes again, waved his hand at Kakar and said, "In this case, let them make trouble, defend this town, I see how long these rats can hide in their holes...... Go down!"
Kakar wiped the cold sweat from his face before turning and exiting the tent.
At this time, the young nobleman's closed eyes slowly opened, and there was a little gloomy between his eyebrows:
"These guys always have to be honest with me to bang and bang. After all, it's my first time on the expedition, so I have to make it look better. ”
"Your Highness, although this Boulder Town is not small, it should not be too many troops, as long as we concentrate our warriors to charge, it will not be too difficult to capture, why waste time here......"
The warrior beside the young nobleman suddenly spoke. This man looked particularly burly, with a sturdy body of muscles that almost broke through the wide leather armor, and the exposed muscles were like rocks, and there were many strange words densely tattooed on it, with a bit of weird and mysterious color.
The young nobleman didn't blame this warrior for his doubts, but just smiled casually, and said in a flat tone: "I naturally have my own reasons for doing this. This expedition, although somewhat boring, but the capture of the four counties of Moxi outside the customs is also a big victory that Macedonia has not had for many years. Presumably, my two brothers on the northern front knew about it, and they were even more jealous of me.
It's just that since there are no other rebels in the valley corridor, these ants in front of them can't break through, and they don't need to be too anxious to clear up, just guard. It will also take time for this war booty to be transported, and when General Baselus' army is pressed, this small city will be crushed over, why consume my warriors, what is the use of this unprofitable work?"
"Your Highness said yes. The warrior nodded, and suddenly asked with some concern: "Then, Your Highness, your injury ......?"
A cold light suddenly appeared in the young nobleman's eyes, and then he immediately disappeared, and he squinted at the warrior: "It's not in the way, brute force, with you and the guards of the Beast Soul Guard, I'm not worried that anyone can hurt me." Hmph, I think I'll meet the magician of the Empire of Light......"
The brute force warrior nodded, turned and walked out of the tent, he was obviously the chief of the guard of the young nobleman's henchman, and he could go directly to his tent.
The young nobleman watched the brute force warriors also leave, his face suddenly became a little pale, and then he coughed violently, and his wheezing sound was hoarse like a bellows. After coughing for a long time, the young nobleman wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, only to find that there was a red stain of blood on the back of his hand......
"This bloodthirsty sorcery is really powerful, and it seems that with my current magic power, I can't control it freely. It's just that if you get the soul of this magician, it is estimated that it will be about the same. Haha, the necromantic aura on this battlefield is so wonderful, but it's a good place to nourish necromantic puppets, how can I be willing to leave......"
The young nobleman's face was pale, but his expression was a little weird.
............
At the same time, the atmosphere in Boulder Town was not as relaxed as in the Macedonian camp, and the garrison had already risen early to practice, except for the wounded and the soldiers who had built the gates, only the vigilante militia was still patrolling the city.
Although the Macedonian army is still stationed outside the town of Boulder, if the Macedonian army is really ready to withdraw, even if the city wall is repaired, the town will inevitably be destroyed. However, Alok still insisted on repairing the walls, and the commander did his duty well, and he would patrol the city with his guards in the morning and evening to pacify the inhabitants.
Seeing that Alok was dressed in military uniform, the guards behind him were also wearing armor and holding swords, looking fierce and brave. Although the residents of the city were a little nervous and afraid of the war, after all, the city defense was still in the hands of the garrison, and the morale of the garrison in the city was also high, which also made many residents feel a little more stable.
After all, nominally, Alok, as a standing army stationed in Bouldertown, has the power to manage and take over the affairs of the town. The northwest has always been at war for a long time, and it has also formed a tradition in the administrative system of Moxi, in which military generals are greater than civilian officials.
However, for the inhabitants of the city, it doesn't matter who takes over Boulder Town, as long as they can drive those damned Macedonians away and don't let them into the city to burn them, the gods will bless them.
However, only a few people such as Joseph and Alok really knew the situation in the city. Every day, Alok would consult with José about the town's war, or how to deal with the next Macedonian siege, or even plan how to arrange for the inhabitants to flee after the city was broken. Although Alok and Gould insisted on defending the city, if the town really couldn't hold on, they naturally wouldn't let the whole town resist with them, so they came up with countermeasures in advance, and as many people could escape!
Three days passed like this, and every day the garrison kept an eye on the Macedonian army on the opposite hill. To their surprise, this army seemed to have forgotten Boulder Town, although it practiced as usual every day, and sent small groups of troops to patrol Boulder Town, and even fought the garrison a few times. But they retreated every time, never entangled with the garrison, let alone engaged in any large-scale siege battles.
Although this behavior puzzled the soldiers in the city, it always left time for them to rest and recuperate. Many soldiers' hearts were even a little relaxed, after all, the first time the city was attacked, these Macedonians suffered losses, and it was reasonable that they did not dare to come back easily.
The officers of several battalions did not think so, and although the Macedonians laid siege to the town of Boulder without attacking it, it was by no means out of fear of battle. After all, Macedonia has a far advantage over Boulder Town in terms of materials and numbers, and now deliberately using this delaying tactic seems simple but very practical.
There are tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Boulder Town, and the materials consumed are even greater, although under the management of Yarok in the past six months, the material hoarding is also full, but it must not last long, as long as the Macedonians besiege it like this for a month or two, the city will collapse without a fight, why waste troops to besiege Boulder Town?
So when Alok held an extraordinary meeting that day, the officers naturally said what they thought in their hearts, but they didn't expect that Alok seemed to have expected it, so he just smiled and explained casually:
Although their concerns are somewhat reasonable, the Macedonians will not besiege them for so long, because compared to the garrison of Boulder Town, the consumption of the Macedonian army is not small, and their supplies need to be dispatched from nearby counties, and they must not be surrounded for a month or two.
Seeing that several officers still had some concerns and doubts, Alok could only comfort them with kind words, saying that the soldiers in the city were united, and there were magicians to help, as long as they found a suitable time, they could naturally defeat the Macedonians and relieve Yunyun from the siege of the city, which barely dispelled their concerns.
But after the meeting was over, Jose looked at Aloke's solemn expression, but shook his head directly, he wanted to say something, but he was silent again. It was Allock, who suddenly sighed:
"Master Jose, do you have any opinion on such a move by the Macedonians?"
Joseph was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Naturally, it is impossible for the Macedonians to stay here for a month or two, but I hope that they want to be patient with us and try to consume the supplies in the city, but unfortunately...... Yarook, you and I know it very well in our hearts, why do I need to say it?"
"Yes," Alok also smiled bitterly, "compared to this statement, the kind of speculation you said is more likely." If they simply want to surround us, they won't pose any threat to Boulder Town, but they are so fearless, obviously not thinking about how to consume us, but more like ...... Waiting for reinforcements, waiting for their main forces!" )
