"Your Excellency, the problem now is not the number of soldiers … but the fact that we can't counter that kind of weapon."
"Do you have any good ideas?"
The advisors all shook their heads, "Unless they enter the desert, then we can carry out an ambush or surprise attack. The current plain terrain is clear at a glance, and it is the best terrain for the enemy's weapon to exert its power."
Udora took a deep breath. She also knew that there was no other way now. If she asked for help from Eseka, it meant that she was not good at leading the army, and the only result waiting for her was to be replaced … And this result also meant that her right to speak in the family would completely decline, and her original high position would probably be replaced by other people in the family.
"Your Excellency, Lacheman … let a deserter bring a letter."
Udora squinted her eyes. After opening the envelope, she saw the content of "persuading them to surrender" as expected. She wanted to throw it away, but she suddenly froze when she saw the content at the end of the letter, "… Kingdom of Karen? Sodelor? Prime Minister Roddy? What does the Prime Minister mean? "
One of the advisors quickly answered, "The information collected from Lacheman said that … they spent money to hire an overseas army to fight, but it would take at least three or four months for them to arrive, but —"
"Now, they have arrived."
Udora didn't realize what kind of enemy she was facing until now, but she felt very uncomfortable, "Damn it … What kind of place is the Kingdom of Karen? Do any of you know it? Why do I feel that this name seems a bit familiar? "
"Your Excellency, it seems to be … the country on the 'Crown of Late Autumn' … that is making something crystal."
Hearing this, Udora also had an impression of it. At that time, when Eseka heard the news that the "ancient giant beast" landed and was destroyed, it really caused a discussion about the "follow-up plan", and the "Kingdom of Karen" seemed to play a key role in fighting against the "ancient giant beast", so it was specially mentioned by some people. But later, because of the serious lack of information, the plan was changed quickly, and this topic was soon forgotten.
But who could have thought that she would fight with this group of people inexplicably?
Udora picks up the letter again and reads it carefully. Only then does she realize that the other party is not as arrogant as the tone of the "Lassiman Council". In the words, the other party says that he is "paid to do things", and his purpose is only to "quell the war".
Most importantly, the letter also contained a list of the Kingdom of Karen's supplies. The list listed all kinds of fruits, grains, machinery, and other items produced by the Kingdom of Karen.
At the same time, the letter concluded that she had until noon the next day to consider.
Writing this kind of thing directly in the "persuasion letter" seems to be a kind of self-confidence. Udora almost thinks that the other party is talking about trade with her instead of fighting.
However, after coming back to her senses, Udora's mood inexplicably improved a little. This was because she had now figured out one thing: she did not lose to "Wizard Lachiman", but to the helper that he called.
But rationality made Udora calm down quickly: Since the enemy is not completely on the same side as Lachman, it proves that I still have a chance!
"The enemy doesn't know us, so —"
Before she could let her advisors analyze the situation, a scout who was galloping at top speed brought back a shocking piece of news. "Lord Priestess … the military supplies of three nearby towns were all burned down by the soldiers who descended from the sky."
"Damn … What the hell is going on? Fell from the sky? Do you know what you are talking about? No — How many soldiers are there? "
Halfway through her words, she realized that it had something to do with the huge aircraft flying in the sky. Suddenly, she felt cold sweat on her back.
"Your Excellency, the report said that there are between 100 to 200 people …"
"The garrison troops are all more than 1,000 people! How could they let a team of more than 100 people burn the food? Are they all dead? "
"They said that the enemy came too suddenly. They didn't even have time to stop the defense before they were defeated …"
Udora completely lost her composure, and her voice suddenly went up an octave, "Useless! The supplies of three towns were burned at the same time. How strong is the enemy? Are they all monsters that can spit fire? "
The soldiers who were shouted at did not dare to answer. Because the fact was in front of them, they had to accept it even if they didn't want to.
Udora panted for a long time. Her eyes were so red that she couldn't wait to pull out a knife and kill the person in front of her — those were the supplies of three towns! Although the number of troops on her side was greatly reduced, there were still more than 10,000 people left. After all, even if the auxiliary troops had no combat power, they still needed to eat …
If the supply was cut off, everyone knew what would happen.
"You guys calculate whether the current food can last until the next batch of food arrives?"
Udora sighed and looked at the "letter of persuasion" in her hand again — At this time, she had already felt an indescribable chill. The enemy's means of war were completely beyond Udora's imagination. If the monster flying in the sky threw countless soldiers from above her head next time, how could she deal with it?
Thinking of this, Udora realized that her back had been soaked with cold sweat, and even her forehead was wet.
"Your Excellency, Lassiman — oh, no, the army of the Kingdom of Karen did not cut off our supply line. The previous two batches of transport teams have set off, and the food they carried will be delivered tonight. Counting the supplies they brought, we should be able to last for a week. Counting the time to borrow food from other places, one week is enough to raise the next batch of food!"
Udora finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the problem now was … even if the food was enough, could they survive the enemy's bombardment?
"We can't take the initiative to start the war, but we absolutely can't lose the bank of the Ramu River. Now … we can either delay or fight."
Udora sat back in her seat, picked up the bread and took a bite. She used this hard chewing to digest the tension in her heart.
"We need to resist the bombardment of that kind of artillery. As long as we can maintain the defensive position here at the ferry, they definitely can't come over. As long as they can't come over, we haven't failed! "
This was the function of the "natural stronghold": no matter which side, as long as they held the ferry, they could prevent the enemy from crossing the river. Because except for the ferry in front of them, the width of other places had increased sharply, and it was difficult to carry out large-scale transport.
The strategic intention of Eiseka was to occupy Lassiman's city as much as possible. If the miscellaneous troops couldn't do it, then they would supplement. If they retreated now, then once the expeditionary army of the Kingdom of Karen crossed the Ramu River, all of Udora's supply lines would be exposed to the enemy's attack. This would cause all the subsequent plans of Eiseka to be adjusted.
Udora couldn't afford such a failure.
