Chapter 675: Unsustainable [Dabro]
There should be no need to continue this war, Dabro thought.
After breakfast, the soldiers began to work on new work—maintenance of the siege equipment;
This is not an easy job; not to mention that there are quite a limited number of soldiers who have mastered relevant skills.
Fortunately, the siege equipment that was destroyed before had parts of the same specification; otherwise, it would take another ten days and half a month to manufacture new ones;
But even so, it will take four or five days.
The magicians tried to tear off the remaining magic bottles, but because of the catapults on the city wall, they were much slower in efficiency - although those things were old, they still had deterrent power;
The old men must be protected by heavy infantry before they can advance; even so, the magicians were worried about unfolding the magic wall protection - safety first, and Kohler could not refute this.
Compared to the offensive that was completely unable to be launched, the situation of food made Dabro even more worried.
In order to prevent Mapoloshi from burning the grain warehouse when he was camping, after formally stationing, the rations were distributed to each soldier; at this time, it should be at most two or three days;
Logically speaking, the grain transport team will arrive tomorrow, but will Mapoloshi allow the grain transport team to arrive smoothly?
The only thing that makes people feel relieved in this situation is that Mapoloshi did not preach on the city wall, reducing his already pitiful morale...
...Wait, contact the previous post, this seems bad news?
…………
Sure enough, the grain transport team failed to arrive in time - it was three days late.
Dabro promptly proposed to Kohler to save food; thanks to the timely order, the soldiers controlled their appetite and activities, so there was no big trouble.
Logically speaking, after so long, the commander in charge of the grain transport team should have pulled out and chopped it;
But the nobles now all knew what strength the enemy was;
Even Kohler, who suffered the most, couldn't say anything to blame the grain transport team.
On the fourth day, near evening, amid the hungry gaze of the soldiers, the grain transport team finally rushed to the outskirts of Bilin Village with a heavy grain truck and almost heavier body than the grain truck;
The nobles, magicians and some soldiers "roamed in line" at the intersection.
There were originally soldiers who were so hungry that they wanted to accuse them of a few words, but when they saw the face of the visitor, they couldn't even say a swear word - they even wanted to go up and pat their shoulders.
Too miserable.
The situation of the grain transport team at this moment is even more distressing than when the vanguard troops first arrived; everyone is covered in dust, as if they have just been dug out of the pile of dust;
They were exhausted and collapsed to the ground after arriving in front of the camp.
"Where are your... horses?" Kohler walked to the transport captain who was standing barely against the grain truck. "You are here with manpower... pulling the grain truck?"
"Otherwise..." The chief didn't care about the noble's temperament and demeanor, and he calmed down for a while before responding, "Horse? All the horses died halfway through eating poisonous weeds! The horses transported over died indecipherable! There was no way, we could only use human power to pull them!"
Dabro guessed who the murderer was.
Since there was a magician in the food transport team, Mapoloshi dared not be too presumptuous; and the reinforcements were not treated so highly.
"Oh my God, do you know what we've experienced along the way?" After calming down, the person in charge began to complain to Kohler: "We! The first night after leaving Scepter Town, the food was burned by fire!"
"I don't know where the oil bottle was thrown over, and the rockets shot over, all of them burned! The food loss was 20% and most of the food bags were burned! If we hadn't had the spare sacks, we would have to go back to Scepter Town to change!"
"Then! The next morning! A heavy rain! A thief-like rain!" After gasping for two breaths, he continued to spit out and describe in the enclave: "The cloud is floating above our heads! It took half an hour to fall, and the whole grain bag was wet!"
"We have no choice but to open the bag while we were resting, and wanted to dry it and blow it dry; let alone, the wind really came..." The grain transport officer took a deep breath, "But the sandstorm came on the horse!"
Many soldiers next to them couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
"We hurriedly put away the bag again... As a result, a lot of sand was still in it!" The chief slapped the bag, "I really have no choice!"
"It's not over yet! The horses were poisoned to death after the sandstorm! I don't know when the poison was poisoned!"
"We continued to move forward... As soon as we left the grassland, the road began to become particularly muddy - not as good as in the forest! Thanks to the help of the magician, otherwise all these cars would have to be trapped in the mud!"
The scene reappeared... Kohler nodded, he could understand the pain very much.
"The horses asking for help cannot be sent, so we can only pull them over; along the way, there are fire, heavy rain, sand and dust... Oh my God, I never knew this road was so difficult!" The grain transport officer clenched his fists, "No one can deliver it on time!"
"Has Mapoloshi been monitored for using magic?" The old men had long surrounded the relatively young colleague; the latter also had magic monitoring devices on his body.
"I can't be sure..." The accompanying magician shook his head, "Those rains and sand and dust didn't seem to appear naturally, but there was no monitoring of the nearby magic reaction..."
"That should be the unique meteorological magic of the East Realm." An old magician sighed, "In that case, since the magic source is too far, it is still impossible to record it... Alas, it's just a move that is not good after all!"
These old men who yearn for rigorousness will only convict people if the evidence is conclusive;
Compared to fireballs and ice cones, meteorological magic is too special: you can’t just say that people are using magic because it rains or gusts of wind?
"However, since there is food supply, victory is just around the corner." Kohler forced a smile, "Let the soldiers prepare for supper! Have a good rest today and strive to attack the city tomorrow!"
During these days, the soldiers and magicians have not been in vain. They have eliminated all the magic bottles in Bilin Village until the city walls, and even the roads are repaired neatly;
Although the siege equipment has not been completely repaired, it is enough to launch a nearly saturated attack on the city gate area of Bilin City!
Except for the soldiers' lack of physical strength, there is no problem!
Just eat enough tonight, tomorrow morning-
Rumble rumble rumble———————!
The series of huge explosions from the direction of Bilin Village destroyed all Kohler's fantasies.
Before Kohler could react, Mapoloshi's familiar voice rang through the sky-
"Notice to the Central Army: Recently, some residents have reported that the monsters have begun to invade the interior of Bilin City from the underground; for the sake of residents' safety-"
Kohler almost fainted to the ground.
Chapter completed!
