Chapter 261: Preparation (2)
Whether Derek understood the meaning of Aaron's last words or not, everyone was methodically going about their business.
It wasn't until the night of the third day that everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat in their tents, planning their actions for tomorrow.
"I counted the arrows today, and there were only about a thousand, and it was unrealistic to shoot them with arrows. Frank took out a notebook with the data of each device, and the arrows of the bow and arrow, as an important offensive and defensive weapon, were naturally the top priority of Frank's search.
"That's also a problem. If we can't kill one more person with arrows, we will kill one more person with spears and swords, and we can only say that now that there is a shortage of materials, sacrifice is inevitable. Alas, more importantly, we are not only short of supplies, but also of people. β
Aaron spoke the minds of those in the room.
When there is a shortage of soldiers and weapons at the same time, even a peerless general will be in a desperate situation, not to mention that most of the people here are new recruits with no war experience.
"Damn, the elves are not willing to lend us weapons, otherwise, we would not have ended up in such a mess. Frank clenched his fists and slammed them into the wooden table.
"That can't be helped. When we fight other armies on someone's doorstep, the elves have to think about their safety. Beware of the possibility that we might turn around and point the finger at them. So, I can understand their choice. However, in the final analysis, there are only absolute interests, and there are no so-called allies. If we want to be ashamed, we must work hard ourselves, and if we rely on others, we will eventually be abandoned. β
Everyone looked at Aaron, and although Aaron spoke lightly, everyone could hear a trace of unhappiness in Aaron's tone.
However, as Aaron said, there is nothing to blame for the elves rejecting them for their own safety. It's just that in this way, so the pressure has to be borne by Aaron's army, which is in the early thousands.
Just when everyone fell silent, Cameron rushed into the tent with heavy steps, didn't have time to sit down and rest, ran directly to Aaron's side, and whispered to Aaron: "Boss, there is already news over there." β
As he spoke, Cameron handed Aaron the note he was holding in his hand.
Aaron opened the note, and there was a line written on it.
"Tomorrow at noon, three thousand. β
Aaron winked at Cameron, who understood and ran to the door to pull down the curtain.
"Now that our spies have sent the news, tomorrow at noon, the enemy will enter the Anya Forest, numbering three thousand. β
"Three thousand, that's a lot, isn't it only a thousand?" said Derek.
The others didn't speak, but they looked similar to Derek.
"I guess it's a collaboration with someone else. However, I don't think even with 3,000 people doesn't necessarily mean that we don't have a chance to win. Aaron stood up from his seat and glanced at the others in the room.
"Tomorrow is our first fight to revive Tanya, and I hope that after this fight, we can all sit here again. Frank, you go and arrange for the soldiers to go on duty and the other soldiers to rest. Tomorrow at noon, we will let the Wyed army see our resistance. Escurry will win!"
Aaron clenched his fists, and the note suddenly became crumbs.
"Victory!"
Everyone stood up and shouted.
......
"Smack!"
A crisp slap sounded in the air, Lan Wen's face instantly became hot, and he raised his head to look at the girl in front of him, who was looking at him angrily.
"You bastard! What's the matter with you running back alone? Putting the young master in such a dangerous place, in case you get injured, can you afford it? What about your brain? The old master is no longer there, in case the young master has another accident, you just wait to die to apologize!"
Lan Wen was silent, bowing her head and saying nothing.
It was the first time he had seen Felia so angry. I thought that after meeting with Fei Liya, I would enthusiastically take them into Shengdexi, but I didn't expect to be scolded by Fei Lia angrily.
"I ...... Didn't Sir tell me to communicate with you, that he wanted to meet Queen Eunice? and they, Sir, want you to find them some place to live. Lan Cowen explained.
"Hmph, won't you ask someone else to come over for these things? Do you have to come by yourself? Or are you not satisfied with what I did before, and you came here to monitor?" said Felia with a sneer.
"No, no...... Oops, that's really my fault. Lan Wen scratched her head.
As a guard, he must put Aaron's safety first, but this time he left Aaron on the battlefield, and he ran to the rear with a group of people, which is seriously dereliction of duty.
Lan Coin kept wondering, when Aaron proposed this statement, why did he agree in a daze?
"You seem to have a good opponent. Novis whispered in Lorraine's ear.
Lorraine's face became very ugly, and the words that Felia had just said should have been said by her, but they were replaced by Yue Li. Although she was not convinced, there was nothing wrong with what Fei Lia said, so even if she was extremely unhappy, Luo Lin still accepted Fei Lia's statement.
It's just that Lorraine kept cursing Aaron in her heart, when did she find such a maid, whether she was talking or doing things, she was angry.
Felia did not dwell on the matter any further, but led them into the Holy Thiel.
While everyone was marveling at the architecture of St. Desi, Frelia found an elf, whispered a few words to the elf, and then turned back to the others and said, "Follow him, and he will provide you with a place to rest." β
Seeing Fei Liya turn around and walk in the other direction, Lan Wen hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"
"Of course, to protect Young Master Razor. Why else are you staying here?" said Freia strangely.
Lan Wen immediately became anxious, this was originally his duty, how could he let Fei Liya make up for him: "I'll go, you stay." β
"What can you do when you go back? What I said just now is a bit heavy, since the young master said that, it means that he has confidence in this battle, but you should not be affected by him. Your duty is to keep him safe, and it has nothing to do with the strength of the target of the battle. I hope you take this as a warning. β
Before Lan Wen could respond, Fei Liya hurried out, when a girl's voice came from her ear: "Wait a minute, I'll go back too." β
Felia looked back at the girl in the magic robe and looked back at Lan Wen with a confused expression.
Lan Coin immediately explained, "This is, huh...... Mr.'s fiancΓ©e. is a magician. β
Thinking about it, Lan Wen felt that this should be the most suitable explanation, although it hurt Princess Leya's heart a little, but the long pain is better than the short pain, and there is bound to be no result between her and "Razor".
Sure enough, Fei Liya's eyes darkened after hearing this, and then she instantly cheered up: "If your body can withstand the long journey, let's come together." β
"And me!" Lan Wen hurriedly stretched out his hand, he must not let the opportunity to make amends slip away like this.
