The atmosphere in the makeshift conference room was suddenly a little depressing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Alok pondered for a moment, his eyes fell on Joseph's voice, and he asked with some solemnity: "Joseph, how sure is this guess of yours?"

Joseph shook his head: "It was only this afternoon that I saw the Macedonian camp in the city and the nearby terrain before I thought of this possibility. Boulder Town was originally built on the mountain, surrounded by tall mountains on both sides of the river valley, and was originally a relatively important road to Moxi. But as for what the Macedonians will do next, I can only guess that the best way now is to gather information as soon as possible!"

"I'm going to organize the manpower now, even if I release all the three hundred cavalry under my command, as long as I can bring back the news of the Macedonians, Lao Tzu doesn't care!"

After Gould finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but saw Jose wave his hand, and then said:

"Don't need so much, send a hundred light horsemen, take advantage of the night, bypass the camp of the Macedonians, and hurry towards the pass, there are too many people but it is easy to be discovered, the important thing is to disperse.

Remember, Gould, I want exact news, and by whatever means, bring it back as soon as possible! I want all the numbers of the Macedonians this time, where their great forces are now, and the movements of the army...... By the way, Lord Yarook, if you start from Boulder Town, if the cavalry is in a hurry, how long will it take to go back and forth to Moxi Pass?"

"The cavalry is in a hurry, bring a small amount of rations, from here to Moxi Pass, even if there are horses to change lanes, it will take about three days to come and go at the earliest!"

"Then let them go with one man and two horses, but I reckon that if these guys are really ready to leave, the worst-case scenario is that maybe we will get the news in less than three days......"

Jose couldn't help but smile bitterly, if these Macedonians really want to leave Moxi, since they have already sent the opening troops first, then it is estimated that the large army is also about to arrive.

However, although this possibility is great, the Macedonian army is tens of thousands after all, and if the whole line is withdrawn, it will inevitably go for several days. Although the specific military information is not very detailed, Yarok and Gould and others are sure that most of the Macedonian army on this expedition was infantry, with only a small number of cavalry, and served as scouts and sentinels. Therefore, if such a huge army really leaves, it will inevitably drag on for a while. And that's the time José can use!

Now the key is what exactly are the Macedonians going to do?!

Gould listened to José's words and was about to leave, but Alok stopped him, and said with a somewhat resolute expression:

"Gould, this mission, the team leader will be handed over to Martin...... After all, the Macedonians are still outside the city, and they may attack the city again at any time, and the city cannot do without you. ”

The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then he was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "This mission is not easy, there is still a certain danger, can you let him go?"

"There's nothing to worry about," Alok shook his head, "Even in the city, the risks are the same, and if you are in the city, it will always be more useful than him in the city." ”

Gould thought for a moment before nodding, turned to leave, and organized a light cavalry sentry to investigate.

Seeing Gould leave, and only Joseph and Alroch were left in the huge conference room, the garrison battalion officer fell silent.

After a while, he slowly spoke, "Today's matter is thanks to Mr. Chasé's help. I, Allock, am self-aware, and I hate to admit it, but your mind and foresight, sir, are indeed much stronger than me and Gould...... If Mr. Joseph had been in the city to give advice, he would have been much more meticulous than the two of us. ”

Jose shook his head and said with a calm expression: "I'm a magician, where is as powerful as you say, it's just a blind guess according to my own ideas." When it comes to the ability to march and fight, I'm afraid it's not as good as one of your personal guards. Speaking of combat bravery, today Gould and the Knights of the Aroque have given me a glimpse of what it means to be a fierce general in the army. ”

Alok smiled slightly, with a bit of perseverance in his expression: "Wizard Jose is serious, defending the territory of the people of the empire is originally the duty of our soldiers, and it is naturally our duty to fight bloodily...... It's just that I still have something in my mind that I want to ask Master Joseph. ”

Speaking of this, this calm middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something, and his face was a little complicated. After finally being silent for a moment, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Joseph and asked:

"If things really match what Master Jose speculated, the Macedonian army is going to get from Boulder to the outside of the valley corridor, then Boulder ...... What should I do?!"

Jose's heart sank, but he found that this usually calm and silent guy had a hint of essence in his eyes.

"I don't know. José still replied, his eyes a little wandering: "If it's really as I think, I want to ...... Now that the vanguard army has arrived, it will take a month at most and a dozen days at the least, and the main force of Macedonia will withdraw! At that time, Boulder Town will naturally bear the brunt of becoming the first obstacle to the passage of the army, and this is what I am most worried about!"

Jose shook his head, with a bit of tiredness in his tone: "If there are only a few thousand Macedonian troops, if the whole city is desperately defended, it can hold out for a while, but if you add the Macedonian army of tens of thousands of people...... Boulder has no chance of holding it at all. Moreover, in addition to the distant and near troubles, these thousands of Macedonians are still on the opposite hill, and if it is an open army, it is bound to be the elite army of the Macedonians.

As you must have seen, most of the Macedonian troops besieging the city today are some regular Macedonian troops drawn from nearby counties, but this Macedonian army still hasn't moved......"

When Alok heard this, his face couldn't help but turn ugly.

"I should ask you, Lord Aloke. Joseph glanced at him and said, "If the Macedonian army is overwhelmed, even if the whole city is desperately fighting, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist, so my suggestion is...... Abandon the city!"

Aloke's face was ugly, but he didn't say a word, his fingers clenched, and his knuckles were a little white from the force.

"The reason why I did not say these things in front of Gould is because I knew the fat man's temper, and if he had heard me say these words, I am afraid he would have made a fuss. Joseph shook his head, his gaze burning at Aloke:

"But Aloke, you're different, you're a calm general. I know that your prowess is not in the slightest way below Gould, but you are a little more cautious and steady than his character, so you can hold out on to a few hundred defenders in Boulder for so long.

So I can only say these things to you, and you must know the current situation, and I don't need to say more...... Suffice it to say that in the unlikely event that my conjecture is unsuccessful, I hope that Lord Alok will put the safety of the entire city first!" )
