On the Imperial Highway leading to Bofeng City, a large group of grain trucks was winding its way, and in addition to the grain carriers, there were also two small groups of cavalry guarding the team, which belonged to the Imperial Praetorian Guard.

Originally, it was normal to use a squadron of men and horses to escort so much food, but the aliens occupying Fenian City had begun to stretch out their claws to the empire, and all the elite legions were gathering to prepare for a general battle, and the troops escorting the food had to be reduced.

Fortunately, the route of food delivery was in the territory of the empire, and the enemy of Sid's legion was Bofeng City, although those anti-thieves withstood the attack, but they were also besieged in Bofeng City, especially because they lacked mobile strength, so even if the escort force was reduced, there would be no danger.

This batch of food is the reaction of the imperial center after receiving the news of Sid's request for help, they decided to give Sid more power, can command all the garrisons in nearby cities, responsible for suppressing the rebellion in Bofeng City, but hesitate to support the elite troops, instructed Sid to besiege it first, everything must be based on the overall situation of the empire, to see the final deployment results of the battle with the aliens; 。

Sid did not complete his mission, but he did do something useful to the Empire, that is, he presented the new weapons he encountered in the face of the rebels in Bofeng City, and reported his defeat to the upper echelons of the Empire, reminding them that he suspected that there were alien people behind the rebellion in Bofeng City. The aliens are trying to cause trouble for the rebellion in Bofeng City. In order to take advantage of the upcoming conference battle.

on this. The Apuro Empire also attached great importance to it, they studied the musket presented in detail and were terrified by this weapon, although this weapon was not worth mentioning for high-level warriors, but for mid-level and low-level warriors, this weapon was already a great threat, and if it was for ordinary soldiers, the threat was even greater. And the other side can even use it with ordinary soldiers.

This served as a warning to the Apuro Empire, but it also caused some confidence in the outcome of the battle to the upper echelons of the Empire, but at the request of the virtuous Terrance, it was decided to withhold information about the new weapons of the aliens so as not to sway the morale of the army.

Another negative effect is that the empire is even more stingy in sending elite legions to aid Bofeng City, since the aliens have new weapons to rely on, then this battle, the Apuro Empire is more and more careless, and needs to go all out. The inability of the Sixth Army to participate in the battle was already a great loss in combat power.

Although Bofeng City is important, the threat of aliens is greater at this time. The upper echelons of the empire unanimously decided not to give Sid reinforcements first, but they could try to satisfy the food as much as possible, so that Sid's army could continue to besiege Bofeng City, so that even if the rebels had new weapons, they would lose due to hunger, or the confrontation could drag on until the Empire defeated the aliens, and then sweep away the rebels in Bofeng City with overwhelming strength.

Therefore, even if the empire no longer regards the pacification of Bofeng City as a priority, it still meets the needs of the Sid army in terms of material allocation.

However, when this grain transport team was halfway through, something still happened.

At dusk, a large group of shouting masked cavalry came out from both sides of the road, brandishing sabers and spears, and launched an attack on the food caravan.

Despite the heroic resistance of the two convoys attached to the Imperial Praetorian Guard, the attackers numbered a large battalion, more than half of which were cavalry, and they divided half of the cavalry to besiege the convoy of cavalry, and a small number of cavalry and a large number of infantry slaughtered the grain carriers.

Half an hour later, the ground was littered with corpses, including the cavalry guards.

The strength of these two squads of the Praetorian Guard Legion is not bad, and the combat is also very heroic, and even the squad leader among them has the strength of an intermediate rank, far exceeding the unspoken rule that the general squad leader is held by a low-level person, worthy of the name of the Praetorian Guard Legion;

The thieves took away some of the food, and set fire to what they could not take with them.

"They were so ruthless, they killed them all. Shania said.

"But this is just right, and it will be difficult for the Apro Empire to pursue this matter, especially when the battle is about to begin. Debbie laughed, "It's just that Captain Sid is a bit upside down." ”

"And Sid's family should give him some more assistance, including food and the family's army, you can also disclose this news to the Wolf Tooth Mercenary Group, but this time we don't have to hire it, although we have tried our best to cover it up this time, but it will be discovered more often." The wolf tooth has harvested a lot this time, and the Xi people are already short of food, they can not only get paid, but also grab a large amount of food, and eat the sweetness, they will continue to do this. Brandy said.

Shania and Debbie looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders together, before Shania asked, "So what should we do next?" and what kind of relationship should we maintain with that client?"

"Next, let's wait and see what it gets better, what we promised has been done, whether or not we can completely defeat Sid's legion is Bofeng City's own business. As for the client....... "Brandy couldn't help but smile bitterly, "although my reason tells me that it is best to stay away from him, Munro, Sindy, and Amber are still in their hands, and when Bofeng City is out of danger, I will go and ask him to release him." Although we don't have a contract, I'm sure he won't be embarrassed about it. As for the future, when he releases our people, and then look at the results of the battle between the Apuro Empire and the aliens, if the Apuro Empire wins, then we will continue to live our lives as if nothing happened, if the Empire loses, then I don't mind continuing to accept this gentleman's commission, and everyone will cooperate. ”――

Khorin only knew that according to the terms of the magic contract, Solomon would find a way to make the Imperial army face the same food problem, but he did not know who would do it. At least not the aliens in Bofeng City who did it themselves. Because they haven't moved much from beginning to end. They were all just gathered in that concession.

Although Bofeng City had promised to allow foreigners to trade in Bofeng's territory before, it was now a time of war, and it was besieged by Sid, and it could not be achieved at all, unless it could repel the army of the Apuro Empire.

But after more than ten days, he sensed the abnormality of the army outside the city, because he specially arranged for Max and others to be responsible for monitoring the every move of the Sid army.

It turned out that there was a small riot in the Imperial army, although it seemed to have been quickly quelled, and then there seemed to be a small number of desertions.

This made the people of the military council of Bofeng City, who temporarily presided over the war, very happy. This shows that something really went wrong with the Imperial Army, and it is very likely that the aliens really fulfilled their promises and harassed the other party's grain shipments.

So Khorin began to plan a counteroffensive, intending to add a fire to the Imperial army when they were in disarray due to lack of food and their morale was declining, so as to completely defeat them.

Now there are still enough manpower in Bofeng City, and the ammunition has been replenished enough, although due to the lack of sufficient queue training, it is more risky to go out of the city to fight, but it is much better than when the war started, and the most rare thing is that the enemy is also in a very disadvantageous situation at this time.

The only condition that is lacking is the lack of priests or doctors in the people of Bofeng City. Both can reduce casualties, especially priests. It can also play a role in assisting the attack.

But the priest is a luxury for Bofeng City and Kehorin, because the most priests of Falmalik are the Matthew Church, but the church is obviously not on the side of Bofeng City, they have always supported the Apuro Empire, and there are a small number of priests in the enemy's legions, and those priests have played a significant role in helping the Sid Legion to save a lot of casualties.

When Bofeng City hesitated, this time Solomon offered to make another deal between the two parties, and this transaction was purely free of charge and did not charge any intermediary fees.

Sabelli can introduce them to the Shining's partnership with Bofeng City, which will solve the problem of lack of priests for Bofeng City, and at the same time, it can also add a lot of medicine to the trade goods of the aliens.

So under the matchmaking of the Creation God Company, a priest of the Shining Sect infiltrated Bofeng City on behalf of the High Priest and reached a deal with Kehorin and others, and the Shining Sect was willing to help Bofeng City fight, but after the war, Bofeng City wanted to allow the Shining Sect to preach freely in Bofeng territory.

On the third day after reaching this secret agreement, the people of Bofeng City suddenly took the initiative to go out of the city and carried out a major counterattack on the imperial army led by the Sid Legion, and at the same time, on the battlefield, the volunteers composed of the Shining Cult also suddenly appeared to assist Bofeng City in the battle, among which there are more priests of the Shining Sect, although the number of priests is extremely limited because the God of the Shining has not fully awakened, but with the treatment of the priests, the morale is boosted is not small.

At this time, the Imperial army was still in an abnormal state, because they lacked food, whether it was the food promised by the Empire or the food promised and supported by the Sid family, and even the private soldiers of the family who came to participate in the war were attacked on the way.

The attackers were ruthless, not only looting food, but often killing all the convoys.

As a result, the Sid legions often received the news that food was about to arrive, and then they were disappointed in their hopes, and these days only the little food brought by the garrisons of nearby cities when they came to rendezvous according to the orders of the Imperial army was considered a supplement.

This becomes more and more problematic the further you go, because of the lack of food, the newcomers will find that the little food they have brought with them will be forced to distribute to many armies, and they may not have enough to eat, and they will have to prepare for war.

This contradiction became more and more serious, so there were deserters among the troops who had come before, and two troops almost clashed, but Sid was quelled by Sid with the power of commander.

But as time went on, the food contradiction became bigger and bigger, and the Empire's aid was still delayed, and Sid knew that something might be wrong, but he couldn't solve it now.

It is impossible for the empire to transport grain without a guard force, but not even a single grain has been transported, which can only mean that the strength of the interceptor is not weak, and Sid must divide enough troops to take the initiative to meet and protect it, but if Bofeng City peeps out at this time and takes the opportunity to counterattack, then it will be a big problem.

In fact, when Keholin and the others counterattacked, Sid had really sent a large group of men and horses to trace back along the road to see if they could meet up with the expected grain transport team, so as to bring the grain back and solve the immediate problem, otherwise if it continued like this, it could mutiny at any time.

Of course, Sid took this risk a little bit of a trick, and the team set off late at night, so it was not easy to be noticed. After leaving, Sid used some means to cover up, and the camp was heavily protected, so even Max and the others, who had been in charge of monitoring, did not notice.

However, Bofeng City, which received enough support, also decided to take a risk, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back. (To be continued......)
