Chapter 173 Long-range Attack (3)

During the day, from the camp only 3 sq. m (3.6 km) from Loazin, the standard-bearer gave the signal and the cavalry troops began to retreat in an orderly manner.

At this time, the Treba soldiers were working hard to repair the area, but at the same time, the alternating cavalry units advanced silently and destroyed the repaired parts. Although the earth wall was built and the earth magicians also built a temporary earth wall, all of them were destroyed.

At this point, the pressure on Treba's soldiers reached its peak. A small group that seemed out of control rushed out of the city wall and attacked with swords drawn, but an attack of this scale could not shake Holzlein's troops at all.

In less than six minutes, everyone was reduced to beheaded corpses.

As the sun set, Holzlein's cavalry began to withdraw. The freed Treba soldiers lit a bonfire, used light magic to illuminate the scene, and hurriedly carried out repair work.

Although the engineers and civil engineering workers were exhausted, they thought this was a rare opportunity and encouraged each other to speed up the work.

However, the nightmare came at night. In the middle of the night, a wind blade flew from nowhere and cut the repaired part. Seeing everything return to the starting point, many people fell to their knees and cried bitterly. Some even shouted loudly and began to cry. Despite this, the on-site commander of the Treba Army still threatened the workers and forced them to start working again.

However, these efforts, whether known or not, would be destroyed by Holzlein's troops arriving the next day.

"Fino, aren't you sleepy?"

“It’s okay. I already took my nap.”

In the darkness, Ye Kai asked Fino with concern.

“Don’t take it too seriously. Take it as an order from me.”

“I know. I understand it’s necessary.”

"Well, war is about doing things that the other side hates. You should understand that."

She has also accumulated experience to match that of a high-level adventurer.

"Since everyone is with me and escorting me, I will do my best."

"Go back soon. I'm a little sleepy."

"You started complaining first, what's wrong?"

Fino responded with a smile of understanding.

"Your Majesty, Holzlein's detachment is still stationed in front of the collapsed city wall. Therefore, the repair work is progressing slowly and the city has not yet been liberated."

Emperor Lufan stared at the reporting officer and said, "I have ordered the repairs to be done as soon as possible. You can only report that the repairs have been done. This is God's will."

The reporting officer said: "But the restoration work is constantly being disrupted, which makes it difficult..."

Emperor Lufan interrupted coldly: "If you can't do it, then you are no longer needed. Step down and leave your post to await punishment."

The reporter exclaimed: "Your Majesty!"

Kursas came forward and said, "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. This is their plan to stop us. Should we give up repairs and strengthen our defense?"

Kurthas' words caught his attention. "What are you talking about, noble! How dare you let me go when the guards are in danger? Do you want me to die? You are a traitor! Guards! Arrest him and put him in prison!"

In troubled times, the suspected Lu Fan began to lose trust in the highest commander of the army whom he was supposed to protect.

"This is not possible, Your Majesty! Now, the only one who can protect Your Majesty is Lord Kursas! Please be sure to listen to His Majesty's advice!"

The ministers said that it would be fine if Kursas lost his power, but if he was ordered to do so, he would not be able to deal with the future situation. He must protect Kursas.

Lu Fan snorted and said, "If you say so, there is nothing we can do. I forgive you this time. Immediately expel the sinister people outside."

The reporter said in a trembling voice: "Yes, Your Majesty!" Kursas' life was hanging by a thread, and it was unknown whether it was good or bad.

----------------

This situation lasted for 3 days, and before that they were forcing repair work, but the sound on the scene had already shown its limit.

Afterwards, Kursas arbitrarily increased the number of guards three times, but that was all. At night, only the original number of soldiers were used to guard against the invasion of monsters.

But Holzlein's army did nothing. When morning came, they came to make the soldiers tense, and then just stood there in a row.

If this was just an assembly line operation, we might be able to relax our guard, but these guys kept their eyes on us, applying pressure, as if they were ready to challenge us at any time.

Kurthas began to wonder what he had done. Although he seemed to have forgotten it, nine years ago, Treba had attacked Holzlein, terrifying the citizens of Holmt.

The people who were attacked hold a grudge, but the attackers seem to have forgotten the memory of their failure and their responsibility.

However, the current deadlock gives them time to carefully consider their next steps.

The guards on the scene had gradually gotten used to the sight of the Holzlein squad. After two or three days of this, people began to relax their vigilance. So they didn't realize it.

The gaze behind him became colder and colder.

The Sun Express stopped at the Holzlein military camp. The passengers were the "warehouse holders" of the army. They arrived at the camp, unloaded their supplies, and rested until the sun came out the next day.

The next morning, they took a carriage back to the military supply distribution center in Holzlein, and after a day's rest, they returned to the barracks to provide supplies for the army. There were several Lianyang Express train units that continuously provided sufficient supplies for the barracks.

Of course, there were also troops responsible for protecting them. The guard troops assembled at the border were divided into small teams and moved with the supply teams entering the enemy country.

Although so many people were invested in establishing the supply line, it was simplified with the existence of the "Warehouse Holder". Without the ability of the "Warehouse Holder", it might take as many supply teams as the main force to maintain the supply line.

In short, at present, due to various reasons, the prosperous Holmut transports a large amount of supplies to the front line.

“I haven’t had chama meat for a long time.”

The four adventurers who received a share of these supplies were enjoying lunch around a fire near the military camp.

"Fino, this is the first time I've eaten such tender bird meat."

The Chama is a flightless bird that is raised all over the mainland and is mainly used for food. Although it is also raised in villages, it is mainly used for laying eggs and is rarely used as meat.

In big cities, they are raised in large numbers for food, but in rural and remote areas, almost no one eats them. In those places, protein mainly comes from monsters.

For Fino, who only knew the orcs' settlements and borders, this was a rare ingredient.
