Chapter Forty-Eight: Everything Is Ready
Due to the urgency of time, the female lord does not expect to be able to train these people in her hands to have a tacit understanding, and when the time comes, as long as she can understand the orders and maintain a basic formation, it will be considered a success if not too many people are left behind.
After all, fighting a war is a two-sided affair, and you only need to perform better than the other side to achieve the final victory.
Unconsciously, more than half a month has passed, and the savage tribes in the mountains have basically been robbed by the female lord.
And some of those who were not robbed were also persuaded by the persuasion envoys sent by Miss Rabbit to hand over all the food stocks in the tribe.
In this way, the layout of the savage's side is basically completed, which also means that the time is ripe for a decisive battle.
Ilea didn't plan to drag it out any longer, because the dwarves wouldn't be the only one to invade the West.
If their reinforcements also come, the female lord and the people in her hands will really be caught in the middle by the other side.
Miss Rabbit and her generals reconfirmed the next operational deployment in the military tent.
Her gaze swept over everyone present, and she spoke, "Everyone, life and death are fought here, do you remember the oath we made? ”
"Of course!" Camzi was the first to speak.
After this period of cultivation, his body has almost recovered, but the acorn rye cake is really a little annoying.
It was fine when he was hungry, but once he didn't have to worry about food, Kamzi missed the white bread, game and wine on the table again.
He wanted to get back to his ornate fort as soon as possible.
The other nobles had the same idea as him, so they all echoed him, "Avenge the Marquis, find those traitors, and kill all the dwarves!"
"It's time for those guys to taste our awesomeness!!"
"I will also avenge my dead son." The white-haired silver pine wiped the sword on his lap, and his calm face was full of murderous intent.
Seeing that the big guys were all in high spirits, Ilea didn't say anything more encouraging, but just stretched out her left hand.
The thumb and little finger point to the sky, and the other three fingers are in one place, pointing to the ground, solemnly saying, "Saturday is with us!" ”
The other nobles in the tent hesitated for a moment, but soon they all raised their left arms in the same way as the female lord.
"Saturday is with us!"
They were all followers of Pithiah, but at this time they followed the maiden to start praying to Saturday.
It's not because they've forgotten what they promised.
But when they were in danger, their gods hid in the distant kingdom of God, ignoring their prayers and pleas.
On Saturday, on the other hand, his prophet Merlin was sent to lend a helping hand.
What Li Yu did during this time, of course, those nobles also saw it.
It can be said that there is no miracle performed by this prophet of the Church of Shuangxiu, and there is no Ilea, the number one believer on Saturday, who leads everyone to overcome the difficulties.
They may have been killed by the dwarves and turned into bones in the mountains.
The reason why they are still standing here is indeed because of the shelter on Saturday.
In fact, these days, there are already nobles who have made a request to Li Yu, hoping to join the Shuangxiu Sect and take refuge on Saturday.
Of course, Li Yu would not refuse, and held an initiation ceremony for them on the spot.
This time, his investment is not small, and it would be a great loss not to take the opportunity to recruit more believers to return to blood.
The generals of the empire on this side united and led the army to the entrance of the mountain range, while Jerome, the commander of the dwarven army on the other side, was frowning at this time.
The force he had left behind in the Valley of Gravel to monitor the remnants of the Empire in the valley suffered heavy losses, and less than 200 of the 1,500 men escaped.
And when he came back, he was full of nonsense, disturbing the morale of the army, and Jerome had to cut off some people's heads to suppress those bizarre rumors.
At that time, Jerome was also a little worried, but on the whole he was calm.
Because although he lost some manpower, the development of things has not yet gotten out of his control.
The new champion of the Empire and the reinforcements she had brought with her had lost all supplies as he had planned, and the food and grass they had with them was only enough to last them another four or five days.
Then they will starve in the mountains like the previous Imperial army.
Later, Jacobi agreed to scout the Empire's reinforcements for them, but the Wing never returned.
Jerome wondered if he was in any danger, but he felt that with Jacobi's ability to fly, even if there was any danger, it wouldn't be difficult to get rid of.
But in this way, Jerome even less knows why he has not come back until now.
But the biggest headache for him was the Imperial reinforcements, and they hadn't moved for a long time.
Jerome even wondered if they had starved to death, until recently some of the wildlings had fled here.
From their mouths, Jerome knew that the reason why the imperial reinforcements did not appear during this period of time was because they swept away those wild tribes in the mountains, and also grabbed a lot of food from them, helping those imperial people to survive the current food crisis.
Jerome is feeling a little tricky at this point, and the opponent he is facing this time does not seem to be easy.
But Jerome wasn't too nervous, after all, he still had an absolute advantage in the number of troops, and with the help of those savages, it was almost impossible for him to lose in a head-to-head duel.
The female lord named Ilea on the other side should also know this very well, so she never led the army to fight.
But it is not a solution to always be in such a stalemate, and the military rations that Jerome carries on his side are also limited.
Although if he really ran out of food, he could still ask Morse from Fort Solid to send some, but those Imperial people are not stupid, and if they go too far, Morse will also be suspicious.
The pawn was still useful, and Jerome didn't want it to be exposed so quickly.
It seems that we have to think of a different way to force the Imperial army to show up.
Jerome pondered whether to retreat some distance first, and let Morse release some false information to trick the champion into claiming that Yamaguchi had been recaptured, drawing her and her troops over.
He was thinking about it when he saw his men escorting two wild men into his tent.
"Aragorn, what are you doing bringing these two stinky guys to me?"
Jerome had defended the eastern borders for the kingdom before, and he had fought with these savages a lot, so he didn't have a good impression of these guys, if it weren't for the fact that the two sides were now allies, he would have wanted people to get rid of these scourges.
"Giants," Aragorn said with a salute to Jerome, pointing to the two savages, "these fellows want to be deserters. ”
