General Croft has always looked forward to being knighted, having his own domain and food, and becoming a hegemon. But in the past, although the title was given by the royal family and the Grand Duke, it was basically hopeless without the approval of the church, and the old general and the church have never been able to get along, and so far he has not even mixed up with a viscount, which is not as good as the lucky Brian.

Croft's target was Brian's fiefdom, and after the attack, he felt that he might well become the new owner of the place, which was something he had always dreamed of.

As for Sacred Heart City, their understanding of Toby Town's fiefdom can be described as a black eye, they have not paid attention to a viscount fief at all, and what is worth paying attention to is a place where the palm is big? Later, the Toby Chamber of Commerce was frequently active, so that the people in power realized that Brian had a lot of wealth, and he also "captured" some dwarves and engaged in the weapons business, so he raised the taxes, and as for the military aspect, they had the impression that the defense troops of the two towns together were only a few hundred, which was really pitiful.

Croft originally discussed with the guerrilla mercenary group, the soldiers were divided into two ways, each taking a fief, the old general chose Toby Town, don't look at the small place, but the foundation is good, the wealth is rolling, and after the occupation, it will definitely make a lot of money, and Isaac, the poor are only left with flies flying around, or leave it to the mercenaries as a base.

On 11 September, the Angry Waves reached Mount Subo, on the border of Toby's fiefdom, and after traveling twenty kilometers, they received the first shocking news that the convoy that was following behind them had been attacked, all the grain was burned, and the transport officer had been killed. Croft was furious and sent 300 men back to Ponny City to get food, only to have a second shocking news, all 300 people had been killed, and there was no contact with Ponny City at all.

The old general was a little confused, could it be that there was an eye in the sky staring at them, and he knew everything about the movements of the legion, but the magician was sure that there was no reconnaissance eye along the way?

There was no food, with the jerky brought by the soldiers, it would last for three days at most, and Krodov could not guarantee that he would capture Maple Leaf Town in three days, so he had to retreat to Penny City and temporarily stationed on the outskirts of the city.

Of course, Finn, the lord of Ponny City, wanted the general to vent his anger for him, but unfortunately the city was very small, and he was not well managed, so he couldn't get too many supplies, and at most it was only enough for the Angry Waves Legion to last for half a month.

"Half a month is enough, five days to take Maple Leaf Town, another five days, to take Toby Town, ten days can end the war, more than enough food. "Croft has a lot of confidence.

At night, two huge monsters suddenly ran outside the city of Ponny, crocodile-like earthwalkers, carrying a dozen archers, all of them were equipped with rockets, they didn't shoot anything else, they shot the makeshift grain depot, after half a standard hourglass, the old general was going to cry, and the food was gone again.

Despite the order to be on guard, despite the placement of many sentinels, and despite the concealment of the temporary grain depot, it still did not prevent the enemy's attack, and the warriors who sat on the ground beasts came and went without a trace, and the speed was extremely fast, and Croft had not even seen the appearance of the opposing commander even now.

If he knew that the commander on the other side was a woman, he would have vomited three liters of blood.

In accordance with Longfellow's orders, Lillian used the high-speed maneuver of the Earthwalkers, as well as the accurate archery skills and super combat effectiveness of the outlaw squad, and then cooperated with the dwarven axe battalion hidden in the mountains and wilderness, and resolutely attacked the logistics team, grain depot and food urging team of the Raging Waves Legion, they had only one purpose, that is, to leave 5,000 people without food.

Longfellow knew a lot about the Imperial Army, especially some of the troops that did not enter the stream, and the logistics mobility was very poor, and the defense was also very weak, and often could not keep up with the main army. The Angry Waves Legion made such a mistake, all their actions fell into the eyes of Peng Peng, who was flying at high altitude, and the mages naturally did not know that the enemy still had a "divine beast".

Croft finally understood the enemy's intentions, they would not fight head-on, because of the limited number of troops, so they came to fight the idea of logistics, so that 5,000 people fell into starvation, and the army was discouraged and defeated without a fight, and it was not so easy to use this method to repel the Angry Waves Legion.

Croft led the soldiers overnight, ransacked the entire town, took away the rations of the civilians, in order to complete the task, Croft did not care about anyone's life or death, the streets were in a mess, crying and screaming, there were corpses everywhere, as long as someone resisted a little, they were killed on the spot, Croft did not take the enemy's territory, but plundered and killed in his own city.

Croft had already made up a reason, and when the time came, he only needed to report to Alik that the people of Ponny City had rebelled and rioted, but fortunately they suppressed it in time to control the situation, but it was not meritorious. Of course, in order to hide people's eyes, none of the important people in the city can be let go.

Finn never expected that the old general would be so cruel and vicious, and would slaughter the city in order to seize military rations, although he was greedy and inactive, he would never do such a dehumanizing thing. After analyzing the current situation, Finn felt that if he fled to the north, it would probably not end well, and when the time came, he was framed by Croft, saying that he was secretly colluding with Brian to rebel, but he was afraid that he would be in a different place, so he simply took his guards and fled to Maple Leaf Town.

The military situation was quickly reported to Longfellow's headquarters, and Longfellow didn't expect that Croft would make such an extreme choice, what he usually hates most is that the soldiers do not fulfill their responsibilities, so he immediately opened the mirror crystal and asked Brian for instructions: "Lord Viscount, after we cut off and sabotaged the logistics and supply of the Raging Waves Legion many times, Croft went crazy and ransacked Ponny City, robbed the people of food, and killed thousands of innocent civilians, I hope you will allow me to take the decapitation action." ”

Instead of making a decision right away, Brian asked Longfellow to give him five minutes to think carefully about the possible consequences of killing Croft.

Sacred Heart City does not pay attention to Toby's fiefdom, but Brian has been actively collecting information about Sacred Heart City, especially after Alik became emperor. Croft himself is not a very conspicuous figure, Seneh has a huge territory after all, and the old general is just commanding a last-rate army, which is nothing compared to other regular armies, but his family, who has been operating in the empire for many years, has an intertwined relationship, and he is afraid that if he really kills Croft, it will inevitably attract more hatred, and Alik is under pressure to send a large army to encircle and suppress.

"Damn, come on, if you don't kill this thing, maybe Alik won't let me go. Brian was ruthless and said to Longfellow, "Just take the beheading action according to the general's wishes, this kind of rogue commander, indiscriminately killing civilians, must leave his head!"
