Two days later, just after Jose had mobilized new recruits in the county town of Sadrand, Gray, hundreds of miles away, was finally in trouble. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Gray's army marched through the Tadam Desert for three whole days, and although they were able to find small groups of horse thieves, they never found a large army of horse thieves. After a few days, Gray couldn't help but hesitate again, and at this time, José's follow-up food troops were delayed, which finally made him decide to return to Sadrand.

That night, Gray held a meeting in the barracks and briefed several of his subordinates about the situation of the army. Although Joseph delivered dozens more grain later, no food was delivered for three days. Although the fresh water is quite sufficient, Gray is now suspicious of Joseph, even if the current food is enough to eat for a few days, but Gray is very dissatisfied with Joseph's passive behavior of transporting food.

He told a few generals about the specific situation, although there were still some people who felt that they had traveled far to Tadam, but they went back without a few battles, which was undoubtedly a very demoralizing thing. But Gray was the commander of the army after all, and since the commander had already given the order, they naturally had to give orders to their soldiers and officers overnight.

Shortly after the end of the barracks agenda, a soldier from outside Gray's tent reported that a battalion officer from the Overseer had come to ask for an audience. When Gray heard this, he was reluctant to see this guy, because this person was not from the Northwest Army, but a battalion officer under Allocke. Before this dispatch, since it was in the name of the county town of Sadland, in addition to the army controlled by the 6,000 Northwest Army, there were naturally people arranged by the county governor of Jose.

Therefore, under the balanced compromise between the two sides, Chaseer also arranged for a battalion commander to assist in logistics with the army. Such a guy will naturally not give him a good face for the very xenophobic Northwest Army, and for Gray, this guy is tantamount to an eyeliner sent by Jose. However, after the army traveled, this guy didn't interfere too much in Gray's military operations, and Gray naturally didn't bother to care about him.

However, after entering Gray's military tent, the battalion officer first gave a military salute, and then directly asked Gray: "Lord Commander, I heard that you ordered all the banner regiments and battalions of the whole army to rest and recuperate, and tomorrow they will withdraw to Tadam and return to Sadland, right?"

Gray squinted at the guy, casually took a cup on the table, then took a sip before nodding and saying, "Yes, we don't have much logistics, and the food arranged by Lord Jose has not been delivered in time, so we can only return to Sadland first." ”

"My lord, my subordinates think it seems a little inappropriate for you to do this, right?" The battalion officer heard him say this, but smiled faintly, but there was a bit of a strange taste in his eyes: "The logistics rations can still support at least three days, and Lord Jose's military rations will not be delayed for three days, you are rashly retreating now, if the military rations of the adults are delivered, don't you have to come back again, running back and forth like this, I'm afraid it's not a good idea?"

When he said this, he didn't seem to notice that Gray's face had become a little ugly, and he still said with a smile: "Besides, the army is huge, and it has only been ten days since the army was dispatched, Lord Gray, you will withdraw the army in a hurry, I am afraid that it will not only affect morale, but also make those horse thieves and robbers see the joke!"

He couldn't help but snort coldly, directly smashed the cup in his hand on the ground, and then looked at the battalion officer with a cold face and said: "What kind of thing are you, when Lao Tzu followed Lord Heru to fight, you were still breastfeeding! Lao Tzu will naturally solve the problem on the county guard's side, you are just a logistics officer with the army, the level is no more than the battalion regiment, Lao Tzu is to give Jose that guy face so that he doesn't care about you, hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu, dare to disobey the military order, Lao Tzu will be the first to ask you for the crime!"

When Gray said this, his face was undisguised with anger, so that the battalion officer couldn't help but hesitate a little, so he had to leave Gray's camp with a stupid face. And Gray watched this guy leave, and then snorted coldly: "Damn, or give face to that guy in Sadland, like this cat and dog Lao Tzu doesn't know how many have been killed, and the grain delivery is delayed, Lao Tzu doesn't trust this Sadlan, none of those noble lords in the empire are good things! Hmph, come on, send a pot of wine to Lao Tzu, by the way, get a new cup......"

After the battalion officer left Gray's tent, he turned and walked not far away, and when he saw that there was no one else around, the look of smuggling on his face receded, and he became a little nervous and serious. He avoided a group of soldiers on night watch, and then came to a wagon at the back of the barracks to transport food, and took advantage of the darkness to hide away.

After a few moments, another soldier appeared next to the carriage, and the battalion officer immediately walked out and whispered to the guy, "It's me!"

The soldier was also relieved when he saw the appearance of this battalion officer clearly, but he still glanced left and right before he said vigilantly: "Now that Gray has ordered him to return to the army tomorrow, is there any news from Lord Gould?"

"My lord has already guessed that Gray will return to the army sooner or later, I just came out of his military tent, it seems that this guy is indeed a little suspicious, I am afraid that he is really going to return to the army. However, I have been informed in advance that if Gray is ready to withdraw his troops, let me contact your brethren in the cavalry, and be ready to do so. ”

"The brothers are all following the arrangements of Lord Gould, you can just say what to do!"

"Alright," the battalion officer lowered his voice, and then said with a smile, "Lord Jose has already instructed in advance, if Gray is ready to retire, he will arrange troops in advance to intercept them on the way back, and then directly use the position of the county guard to take back the military power from him......!"

After listening to the words of the battalion officer, the cavalryman also nodded with a serious face, and then said in a low voice: "Okay, I will go back tonight to inform all the brothers and let them get ready." ”

"If this matter is successful, at least in the future in the city of Sadrand, the Northwest Army will no longer be able to act recklessly. Although the Empire doesn't know when the Northwest Army will be cleared, we, the soldiers of the Empire, have no choice but to try!"

The battalion officer couldn't help but let out a low sigh, and then the two of them left.
