Spearman's Fate

"The situation is not very good. There are 500 permanent soldiers in the fortress itself. The previous attack by foreign nations caused more than 5000 soldiers to withdraw from the battle sequence. Later, General Najehitan and I came to support with 800 local troops. Adapting to the weather here, there are now nearly 70 non-combat attrition. Although the problem of soldiers who can persist until now should not be too big, they can have [-]% combat effectiveness at most, and the strength of the local army is weak. For the border army, I'm afraid..."

Although I didn't say anything more, I can already see how helpless Liwa is about the strength of the North Wind Fortress. No wonder he can only defend and dare not pursue. After all, if he encounters a "trap", even if the soldiers who pursue are not eaten Being delayed for a long time, the entire fortress may be lost...

"Then don't the northern alien races have any weaknesses?"

"Yes, and there are quite a few. First of all, although the snow mountain sounds less bad than the desert, in fact, as long as the oasis is controlled in the desert, it is definitely a thousand times better than here, but here is different. Almost all tribes, big or small, strong or weak They are all very difficult, which also led to very intense conflicts among them, but this time they gathered together for some unknown reason. Besides the most critical issue of 'materials', I suspect that someone secretly provided materials to these medicine peoples , but all the roads are blocked and the trails are under surveillance, it is logically impossible for supplies to be sent to the snow-capped mountains..."

Liwa's words made Lancer's expression serious. He originally thought that the situation here would not be much different from that in the 'desert', but he didn't expect the difference to be so big.

"Have you ever considered a strong attack? Although the foreign races are strong, I remember that the number of foreign races in the north should not be too many, right? Although it may increase the casualties of our army, such a dragging is undoubtedly a slow death..."

For the time being, only some places in the south and a few people in the imperial capital know about Ernest's formation of the 'Rebel Army' in the South. The news about the 'Rebel Army' has been completely blocked, so Lancer did not tell the other party his main The target is in the south.

But just after Lancer finished asking, Najie Xitan also intervened.

"impossible."

"what happened?"

"The biggest casualty in the past was because our people chased out of the fortress, and the group of foreign people used the injured and older people as bait and then triggered an avalanche..."

Alright, needless to say what's next, this matter is really tricky...

The entire meeting room fell silent immediately, no one spoke but heavy breathing, and Lancer found that Liwa was sitting at the meeting table with his hands folded as usual, his eyes lit up when he saw this scene .

"Captain Liwa, I believe you have been here for so long without any plans, right?"

"I don't have a specific plan, but I found that we seem to have gotten one thing wrong."

"What went wrong?"

"Although it was said that whether it was me, Najie Hitan or even Lancer, you were transferred to deal with the 'Northern Aliens', but in fact, this place was always safe before we came? Since when did these Did the guy start to be restless? Was it when he was gathered by someone? Or maybe these guys could send troops without any scruples?"

Although it is a question sentence, the answer has already come out.

Even if the enemy is unified, they don't dare to send troops recklessly even if they don't have enough resources. After all, even if the opponent is fighting in the local area, the logistics is still much worse than that of the empire. In addition, the resources in the snow-capped mountains are relatively scarce. It is even more difficult.

I have figured out the joints, but the excitement on everyone's faces is fleeting. As Liwa said, even if I know, what plans can I have?So far they don't even know how the enemy is resupplied.

But after opening his mind, Lancer actually guessed something.

Indeed, it is normally impossible, unless it is—————— Tegu!

Teigu seems to be just a combat weapon, but in fact it is not, or Teigu's ability is not just fighting.

Among them, the most obvious pure combat weapon is Lancer's 'cloak'. On the contrary, Bud's Teigu can use 'electricity'. For example, the Teigu that Esdeth originally obtained can make ice...

"Maybe the group of aliens got Teigu that can bypass our blockade, or simply increase food production."

"is it possible?"

Others may not have much say, but Najie Hitan does, because she is one of the Teigu envoys on the bright side of the empire. In her opinion, Teigu's power is terrifying, but it is only a matter of 'destruction'. 'Forget it, you must know that creation is much more difficult than destruction, as for avoiding blockades?Even if I can escape, how should the materials be transported?

"Maybe, at least I know that there is one piece of Teigu that can do it."

Lancer didn't directly say what it was, and the others didn't ask, after all, 'Teigu' can be said to be the top secret of the empire.

"Sure enough, more information is needed, at least to find out whether it is 'transportation' or 'self-produced and sold'."

"Let the scouts work harder, and at the same time inform our 'informant' buried among those guys, at least find out how the supplies came from, and he doesn't need to do the extra!"

"Yes!"

The so-called 'meeting' should be an exchange of information, where the thinking of all participants collides, just like it is now.

Liwa judged the "key" based on his own experience and intelligence, while Lancer looked for "possibility" based on his own knowledge. Although the situation of the enemy is still unclear, at least there is an outline, and the entire northern fortress is finally operating again Get up instead of completely stagnant like before...

However, it is not only the northern fortress that is operating, the western fortress is preparing for a new round of 'crusade', and the imperial capital is continuing to be cleaned. As for the south... a certain man has never stopped his footsteps.

Chapter 58 Traitor Lancer

Another city in the southern part of the empire changed hands when Lancer reached the northern keep.

And in the center of the square in the city, a well-dressed 'fat man' was standing in the middle of the square with a serious face and shouting something loudly.

"...The empire has lasted for thousands of years, the royal family worked hard, and the people of the empire lived and worked in peace and contentment, but now the treacherous officials are in power to deceive the saints! The 'traitor' Lancer ran amok by relying on the kindness of protecting the lord in the past, not only abducting the women he liked, but also forcibly Turn them into slaves! Because of dissatisfaction, Gouzi didn't expect to be killed in the end..."

At this time, the man standing in the square became choked up while talking, and the people around him were even more arguing.

In the end, the crowd did not disperse for a long time after the 'poor man' left under the cover of the guards. At the same time, some people took the opportunity to distribute some leaflets to everyone.

This leaflet is full of incriminating evidence against 'Traitor Lancer'.

From the most common 'robbery of women' to 'deception', Lancer listed ten crimes.

In addition, Lancer's reputation is based on the matter of 'slaughtering aliens'. Everyone's preconceived impression of him is that he is an extremely cruel person. Now looking at the leaflets that are conclusive and the previous 'reputation is good 'The former prefect' and 'former imperial finance minister' suddenly everyone believed half of it.

As the saying goes, "eat people's mouths are soft, and people's hands are short." Since the "rebels" invaded the city, not only have they not harmed ordinary people, they have even opened warehouses to release food, and directly announced that all kinds of rent will be exempted for the next year.

Although the previous city lord didn't do any bad things, but compared to the current one, it's a little bit worse. In addition, I heard that the other party is still a companion of 'Traitor Lancer', so it seems like a good thing to be arrested?

------

Ernest, who was escorted into the carriage, grabbed the towel on the table and wiped his face as soon as he closed the door.

But at this moment, a calm male voice came from opposite him.

"As expected of Mrs. Ernest, it's amazing~ I almost believed it."
