Chapter 90: The supply convoy is attacked
In Juan's astonished gaze, old Zach pursed his lips and said:
"Our supply convoy has been attacked!"
"What? Where was the attack? Who did this to you? ”
Faced with Juan's cannon-like soul three questions, old Zach continued to tremble, as if he didn't know where to start.
Morgan saw that the other party was pitiful, handed the whiskey over, and old Zach took a sip and drank it.
Then there was a rain of spray.
"Ahem, I thought it was water, ahem, it choked me."
……
Juan, who rushed to the scene of the incident with 50 dragonman self-defense members, saw the mess in the place.
Even the continuous rain could not dilute the strong smell of blood.
Of the 10 elven corpses, none of them were intact, and even the horses that pulled the carts were killed.
The painful expression on the faces of the deceased shows that they have been subjected to inhuman torture and also reveals the identity of the attackers.
Old Zach asserted, "It's Drow!" No other humanoid would have done such a vicious killing than them! ”
Juan, Morgan, and all the humanoids present were convinced of this.
Juan has a headache, he just beat off the orcs led by Jack, and it hasn't been easy for a few days, why did Drow run up?
"Do you see how many drows there are?"
Morgan, who is proficient in hunting, shook his head: "The traces have been processed, and I can't judge it, but it shouldn't be a large army." ”
"Can you track them?"
"It's difficult, they're proficient in stealth, and the weather, even if it leaves a little trace, can be ruined by the rain."
The enemy is dark and I am clear, it is difficult.
"Tell me to go down, everyone is okay and don't run outside."
Old Zach pointed to the scattered supplies: "Your Excellency, there are not many other activities on a rainy day, and there is nothing to stop."
"But the supply convoy to Kesselring Pass can't stop."
Juan asked, "How many days will this convoy of supplies last for the mountain pass?" ”
Zach Sr.: "Three days. It takes three days for the convoy to walk through, so we send a convoy every three days to ensure that the front line is constantly fed. ”
Juan ordered: "Reduce the frequency of the convoy, change it to every seven days, increase the escort force, and send elven guards to accompany you." ”
Morgan reminded: "Once every seven days, you can only deliver non-perishable food, and the front-line soldiers may complain." ”
Juan nodded: "This really needs to be considered, inform Thorin and let him do more work, the set he learned from the army instructor can be used." ”
Old Zach hesitated and said: "I don't know how many Zhuoer have come up, I'm afraid that I can't bear it if there are fewer elf guards, and if there are too many factions, the supplies along the way will be consumed terribly." ”
It's not too far from the elven town to the Kesselring Pass, the caravan can be reached in three days, and the elven guards can consume as much supplies.
Juan could tell that the point of Old Zack's words was not the consumption of supplies, but the fear that the elven guards would not be able to defeat Drow.
He patted old Zach on the shoulder and said, "I sent 20 dragonman self-defense troops to participate in the escort." ”
Old Zack smiled: "That's good, there are self-defense forces, and those drows will definitely not dare to approach." ”
Juan had been through the battle with Drow and knew how arrogant those guys were, but he didn't want to demoralize old Zach.
For the next two weeks, it rained every day without any accidents.
Thorin followed the changing soldiers back to the building, where he reported:
"There were no problems with the defense of the mountain pass positions and the morale of the soldiers.
"The supply convoy once every seven days has not been attacked, and those Drow must be scared when they see so many guards.
"It's just that the dragon soldiers who guard are a little hard, going out for six days at a time, soaking in the rain every day, complaining a little big."
Morgan interjected on the side: "In the rainy season in previous years, dragonmen would migrate to the desert, they are originally desert creatures, and they are not used to rain every day. ”
But Juan couldn't come up with a good solution now, he ordered: "Thorin, you go and do the work again, and use the brainwashing things of the army instructors, you are familiar with them." ”
Thorin said goodbye: "What the instructor said is the truth, where is the brainwashing!" ”
Juan knew that he couldn't talk about this problem as Thorin, and it was even more difficult for someone with a brain-washed mind to change his mind than to kill him.
So Juan changed his words: "Yes, what the instructor said is the truth, please work hard and instill the truth." ”
"Howler! I'm going to indoctrinate it! Troops should be like troops!
"My special combat team, your special combat team, our special combat team, the human alliance special combat team......"
Singing the military anthem, Thorin ran out of Juan's office in a huff.
Juan reluctantly glanced at Morgan.
"Morgan, go back and recruit some more self-defense members, and see if there are any who are not afraid of water."
"Okay, I'll look for it when I go back.
"By the way, the spies sent to the orc tribe have news."
"Oh!" Juan pricked up his ears, "Is there an approximate time for the next Orc attack?" ”
"No, it's not that I didn't find it, it's really not.
"In fact, the orcs have left the plains of New Kilimanjaro and migrated further north to the edge of the Great Desert."
"Gone? Don't fight? Can Jack say yes? ”
"Of course Jack didn't agree, according to the spies, Jack and the orc patriarch Durotan had a lot of quarrels, and almost got killed on the spot."
"Almost, just didn't do it?"
"I didn't do it."
"Alas, it's a pity, it would be nice if I did it, it would be better to die any of them."
"It's dead, a big chief who jumped out and blamed Jack.
"The chief complained that Jack had gone out with more than a thousand orcs, but had not conquered the pass, and had brought back less than half of the orcs, and that Jack was a curse."
"I like this chieftain, and then what?"
Then he turned to ashes, and Jack used him to scare Durotan into listening to him.
"But it is a tradition for the orcs to move north during the rainy season, and the orcs overwhelmingly support the patriarch Durontan, and Jack can't help it.
"But the feud is settled, Jack, you know, there is revenge."
"Hey, that's great news. But why did the orcs have to move north? ”
"Shelter from the rain, they live in shacks, where can they bear the rainy season, if they don't move to the edge of the desert with less rain, this rainy season will definitely kill a large number of orcs."
"That means the Kesselring Pass is safe throughout the rainy season?"
"Should it be, do you want to withdraw the soldiers from the mountain pass? Then there would be no need to send supply convoys. ”
"No, you can't withdraw, Jack is from the army, and he must have studied "The Art of War", who knows if he will come to recruit 'Dark Chen Cang', we don't need to take this risk."
"You think he won't talk about martial arts? No, the book I read says that martial arts must be talked about in war. ”
"I said earlier that I should read less novels, it's all a lie, whoever fights will talk about martial arts, and I don't think I'll die fast enough!"
"Fighting a war and talking about martial virtues is not what it seems in the novel, I saw it in the "Collection of Interesting Facts of the Ancient United Nations", when the spokesman of a big country said that a small country did not talk about martial virtues when it fought with them, and said that it was good to fight in the south, but it ended up fighting in the north."
"And this kind of thing?"
"That's right, do you say that small country doesn't talk about martial arts?"
"I said that the spokesman must not have read "The Art of War", but if he did, he would never speak like that.
"Okay, stop talking about the irrelevant stuff and go have a drink together?"
"Okay, this ghost weather, if you don't drink a cup to dispel dampness, your bones will be sour."
