Amid the sound of splashing, a fully loaded boat finally forced itself off the dock. A few of them had not yet squeezed into the boat and had fallen into the river. And those who didn't squeeze on the bank of the river cried earth-shattering, just a scene of the end times.

Looking at the chaos on the wharf and the boats still moving back and forth on the river, Dipu felt quite strange, and he asked his side: "I'm not dazzled, am I? The pursuers have no shadow at all, and they haven't stopped moving, so why are they all like that? What are they anxious about? What are they crying about?"

The adjutant, Sergio, apparently inquired about the reason, and he said: "My lord! Originally, the river was crossed by a few pontoon bridges, and there were not many boats on both sides of the river, only five or six hundred in total. And General Dimiit left only a hundred ships for those civilians, and the rest gave priority to ensuring that the troops crossed the river. Coupled with the rumors everywhere, these civilians are quite frightened. ”

As soon as Dipp heard it, he understood that General Dimiit was for the sake of the troops first. But he still couldn't help but complain a little in his heart, what are you doing in such a hurry? The pontoon bridge burned down early. However, this kind of influence on unity could not be said openly, and after thinking about it, Dipu ordered: "First send law enforcement teams to the various crossings to maintain order, so that those who cross the river are disciplined." Enforce the laws of wartime, do not need to be soft-handed, and cross the river as a family unit. Those who disturb the order will be hanged for public display. ”

"Also, leave a hundred boats for the troops, and first transport the wounded, supplies and horses that are not needed for the time being to cross the river. The rest were sent to transport civilians. The troops were covered in the rear, and their training was doubled every day. The training of recruits is also not a waste of time, and in doing so, it calms the minds of the civilians. ”

"Yes, sir!"

When the herald ran away, Willy reminded in a low voice: "What will General Dimet's side think if you do this? Do you want to discuss it with him first?" After all, General Dimmit is now in charge of the defense of the Guana River line, and Dipp's order is somewhat overstepping.

Dipu pouted indifferently: "Who cares about his mood? In a few days, His Excellency General Anton will arrive, anyway, he will have a headache when the time comes." Strengthen the defense of the Guana River, that's right, but you don't need to be too nervous, right? Let's talk about it when the demons arrive! Oh, by the way, I forgot an order just now, we should send more reconnaissance teams around. In case of enemy situation, it is necessary to report it in time. ”

Hearing that Dipu had made up his mind, Willy stopped talking. After the order was given, Thompson began to prepare with great interest. Dipu felt a little funny in his heart, this old man was old and strong and very positive. Dipu hurriedly stopped Thompson: "Senior, you don't have to go this time, there are more important things." As far as you lead those law enforcement teams, your stupid dragon is very scary, if anyone is disobedient, let him eat a few people. ”

The black dragon understood, and immediately glared at Dipu: "Boy, I never eat people. I can't get used to seeing you for a long time, you wait, sooner or later I will spray you with dragon breath. ”

Thompson smiled and didn't care, he understood that it was Dipper's kindness. In the previous day's battle, both Thompson and Black Dragon were slightly wounded. And the frequent sorties are also quite tiring.

In fact, the whole army was generally very tired. But at this time, there is no time to rest at all. Training new soldiers, gathering the routed troops, organizing supplementary troops, and organizing civilians to cross the river. And those civilians are not only sent across the river to end, but also need to be properly resettled. But there aren't that many people here. In desperation, Dipu found the banking group again, and simply accepted these civilians to the black-eyed collar for placement. At this time, let these profiteers make some money! For the sake of money, they will help with the transportation.

Even so, Dipu was still busy. Finally, on October 7, General Gore and Willy's force arrived. And on the way, they also met William Jr., the first to evacuate from the Red Lion Principality. It's more interesting, Dipu has come and gone several times, and this brigade of people rushed back slowly, even later than Dipu's time, and it can only be said that those bottles and cans dragging civilians are really not going fast!

William Jr.'s team includes a large number of officials from the former Red Lion Principality, all of whom have rich experience in civil affairs and can help. Dip simply left all the tedious things to them, and he was able to breathe a sigh of relief and get out.

However, this was not the happiest thing, and it was even more pleasing to see Heidelberg return safely.

"Hyde, you're finally back. Dipp hugged Heideberg and cried bitterly, "Take that witch sister of yours away!

Heideberg immediately shuddered with fright: "Dip! is a good brother, then let the brother resist!"

......

On October 9, General Anton also arrived with the rest of the main force. On the 13th, the remnants of the Knights of the Thorn Flower also arrived. As soon as all the troops arrived, General Anton summoned a meeting of the main generals.

"Your Excellency!" Although General Anton was talking to William Jr., he mainly instructed the Magister Kuma and the others, "You take the troops of the principality, bring back all the personnel within two hundred miles, and if you don't want to, you can forcibly tie them up." and those civilian volunteers, who also brought back. There is no longer any point in fighting guerrillas on the North Shore. What is most lacking here is troops, so let's integrate them all into the army!"

Then General Anton instructed Dipp: "The speed of crossing the river is too slow, and now you are responsible." By the end of the month, everyone should be guaranteed to cross the river. The ice period is about to begin, and the ship will not be able to sail for about a month. So you have to get the job done. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, in order to cover our retreat, the Tro Kingdom has also sent troops. However, they also suffered a small defeat and are now retreating. We're running out of time. And the most dangerous moment for the defense line of the Guana River is winter. It should be the moment when the demons will send troops in a big way. And we have no way back. According to the military department, there are no more reinforcements, and only two infantry regiments will be reinforced, and at most some supplies will be transferred to us. ”

"And after the winter freezes, the Guana River is actually no longer in danger, so it can only rely on the cities on the south bank of the river to defend it. As long as we survive this winter, we have a chance. If you can't get through it, then you should be loyal to the empire! This is a death order, and you must not take a step back!"

General Anton gave Typ one last look: "Your Excellency, Count! I'm tired, I'm going to lie down for a while, and the meeting will be dismissed!" After saying that, General Anton looked very lonely and left with heavy steps. This defeat hit him too hard...... (To be continued.) )
