"Well, I agree!" "But this is the military radiation zone of Donauton, and the battlefield cannot be located here!" Even if the enemy does not rest, he will have to get here tomorrow night, and we will advance westward, in the direction of Horqin, for half a day, and look for a place to rest there, so as to rest and rest! However, we're running out of supplies, and we'll only have a maximum of two racks for the Elven Shooter and Phantom Shooter! ”

"Enough!" Higg nodded and said, "Thomas has captured the enemy's logistics there, we can think about fighting this battle, no need to save!" Heralds, immediately give the order to march west for half a day, and then rest! ”

"Yes, young marshal!" The herald answered.

Higg continued: "Butterfly Cloud, you immediately go and inform Thomas, and order him to follow the enemy's rear army and wait for the opportunity to annihilate!" ”

"Okay, I'll go immediately!"

"General Maria, since Benjamin asked you to help me, now your people are under my command, temporarily enter the Chinese army, and when you reach your destination, after the officer meeting, I will send you a task!"

"Yes, Higg...... Young marshal! Mary replied.

"General Lufasi, you lead the wounded battalion and the mage regiment to follow!"

"Yes, young marshal!"

"Assemble at once, and set off in an hour!"

……

Benjamin can't control it for the time being, and now that Higg has entered the territory of the druids, he can only advance and retreat. How to establish a foothold in the druids is the priority at the moment, and everything else will have to wait until you have a firm foothold!

The other party's druid has no magic power, and he has gone berserk, and he is weak at this time, which really gives Higg a golden opportunity, although he has no magic now, but he still has time to recover, and his soldiers have at least one more day and one night of rest than the enemy.

He was not worried that the Donauton base camp would be unfavorable to him, before the druids recognized the situation and mobilized with all their might, the entire druids were empty, and last night he gave the other party a dismount, it would be good to be able to protect their own safety, no matter how bold they were, they didn't dare to abandon the base camp and risk going out of the city.

……

Stephen hurried for two days and two nights in a row, and his soldiers could barely walk, no matter how much they urged, it was useless, and they didn't know how far they were thrown out, and the team was full of complaints and angry scolding.

The marching ranks were completely unorganized, with centaurs, dwarves, and elven archers mixed together, and the wounded battalion was naturally left last, and the rapid march and the shortage of medicine made it worse than death. People kept dying, and there were constantly seriously wounded people who were thrown out of the wagons and abandoned on the side of the road before they died, because the less injured people who did not have carriages to sit on were really unable to walk.

The 5,000 marksmen led by Thomas were originally set up in ambush on both sides of Stephen's road back to the city, because the marksmen did not have many arrows left, and he knew that he was not capable of dealing with the enemy's previous main force, so he let them all go. And did not engage with it. Finally, on the morning of the third day after Stephen evacuated Korqin City, that is, after most of the main force had passed, Thomas waited for the stragglers, which numbered nearly 10,000 people.

The sparse marching procession was stretched to six or seven thousand meters, and although the officers leading the march shouted hurriedly, they were still slowly indifferent, numbly moving forward in their own way, and they could not see that this was an army at all.

"Death to those who resist!" Thomas's horizontal spear immediately hit the middle of the road, and countless marksmen appeared in the dense forests on both sides, and even the crossbows were aimed at soldiers who seemed to have some combat effectiveness, and all the marksmen shouted these four words with Thomas.

The soldiers of the entire army almost reacted in disagreement, most of them numbly chose to ignore it, some of them shouted that they raised their weapons to fight back against these marksmen, but all of them were immediately shot to the ground, and some of them ran desperately towards the depths of the dense forest, and just as they were about to enter the dense forest, they stuck several arrows in their bodies and fell to the ground......

The sporadic resistance and escape soon ended, and the remaining enemy soldiers chose to be silent, put down the weapons they had just grabbed, and waited for the enemy to harvest, for them, this situation of life is worse than death, finally relieved, whether it is life or death, leave it to others to choose, they don't even have the strength to choose.

"General Thomas, what a blessing you are, hahaha!" Looking at the nearly 10,000 captives, Lan Xian'er said with a smile, "Because of the missed date, I should have been punished, but because of the blessing in disguise, it didn't take much effort to make two great achievements one after another, hehe, poor Hig and Corincha, but they lost their troops and almost lost their lives!" ”

Die Caiyun said: "Sister Lan Xian'er, don't laugh at him, if it weren't for the opportunity for the young marshal and General Corincha to gamble with their lives, how could he eat ready-made portions here?" Hmph, it's a blessing or a curse to rob logistics, not necessarily! Thomas, be careful, you almost killed the young marshal! It was because you privately robbed the enemy's logistics that General Kolincha was in danger, forcing the young marshal to act in advance and take risks when he was not fully prepared, killing so many soldiers! It's you who misses, it's you who is in trouble, and my sister even praises you, I really can't figure it out! If it weren't for the young marshal's quick response, early action, and forcing the enemy to light the beacon fire, Korqin City would be gone, General Kolincha would be gone, and even the entire expeditionary force would be surrounded by the enemy, what face would you have to talk about military exploits in the main force! ”

Thomas scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Otherwise, people always say that the wife is someone else's good, I think this sentence is very right, how can you count your own man so much at this time?" ”

"What do you say? Hey, you stop......"

……

"General Thomas!" After settling all the captives, Blue Fairy said to Thomas, "The enemy still has at least 30,000 troops, and even if they are tired, they still have a great advantage over Higg in numbers." I'm worried about Higg, he's too risky, with his own strength, he wants to eat the enemy's 30,000 army, in case of any accidents, I really can't imagine it! ”

"Needless to say, sister, I've been ready for a long time!" Thomas smiled: "I will take three thousand marksmen, and give the rest to my sister, and watch these prisoners and supplies with those dwarf slaves, and I will immediately reinforce the young marshal!" It's a pity that there are not many arrows left for each marksman now, otherwise, I will definitely help the young marshal bite the enemy's tail again! ”

Lan Xian'er nodded and said, "Xige's supplies are even more scarce, I want to send twenty carts to follow you first, and give it to Die Caiyun here!" ”

"How's that going to work?" Thomas said, "Butterfly Caiyun has never led soldiers, how can she manage so many people at once?" Besides, if something happens, you have to rely on Butterfly Cloud to deliver the message! I'll find someone to do the delivery of supplies! ”

"Let me go!" Mary didn't know when she had already spoken to Thomas's side, and said, "There are nearly 10,000 captives here, thousands of dwarven slaves, and there really can't be a general or a lady!" ”

"Your Highness the Princess?" Thomas hurriedly said, "How can this work?" Although there are not too many remnants on the road, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, the princess's daughter is ......"

"There are no princesses here, only warriors!" "I know you look down on me," said Mary, "but I have to prove to you that I am not a pampered princess!" ”

"This ......" Thomas was embarrassed, and looked at Maria and then at Blue Fairy, not knowing how to decide.

"Do you want me to make a military warrant?" Maria said angrily, "Well, if I can't complete the mission, I'm willing to accept any punishment, and I will never ask for pardon as a princess!" ”

"Princess Maria, no, General Maria!" Blue Fairy said, "We don't mean to look down on you! Although Higg told you that there are no princesses in the army, only warriors, but those are all angry words! If something really happens to you, how can we explain it to Your Majesty? You've been tasked with transporting supplies, but General Thomas will be distracted for your safety, and the battlefield is changing in a hurry, and he can't do everything! ”

Mary took off the princess crown from her head, threw it on the ground, drew her sword, split the crown in half with her sword, and then looked up and said, "This crown was put on by Her Majesty Mother herself when she appointed the crown prince, and now it is gone!" There are no princesses in the army, only the words of warriors, it was the earl who said it before, and now I say it! I don't want you to have a single soldier, just your own thirty guards, plus fifty dwarven slaves to drive the chariot! Anything that happens, it's none of your business! ”

Blue Fairy and Thomas couldn't help but be in awe of Maria, since the first contact with Fuxing City, they have always been very disgusted with this princess who has caused them great * trouble, and then chased Higg, wanting him to change his mind and return to the Fifth Legion, and then followed to the Silent Forest, and finally followed the expeditionary force to the territory of the Druids, this hard work was originally something that ordinary people could bear, she actually persevered, never complained, and now she really abandoned her princess status and received the task in the name of a warrior! And all this turned out to be a pampered, long-time temple residence, and a well-cared for princess voluntarily endured.

"General Maria, I wish you success!" Lan Xian'er smiled, this is equivalent to giving Thomas his own opinion.

"General Maria, I'll give you another hundred marksmen!" "It's not that the ministry trusts your guard, it's that logistics are too important to slip up!" General Maria, your task is to deliver supplies, and before you complete the mission, you must not make any extraneous branches, do not act without authorization, and violators will be dealt with according to military regulations! ”

Mary was so excited that she almost jumped up, and hurriedly saluted and said, "The last general has been ordered!" After saying that, he happily prepared to go.

"General Thomas, is your military order appropriate for her?" Blue Fairy looked at Maria in the distance and asked Thomas.

"What's wrong?" Thomas asked, confused.

Lan Xian'er said with a smile: "I'd rather she leave her supplies behind and run away after a special situation!" If you have an accident and fight the enemy for the sake of your military order, you and I will not be able to shirk it! ”

"What then?" Thomas then woke up to the fact that he was used to giving orders like this, and he didn't expect that Maria's status as a princess really spoke out as if he were giving orders to ordinary officers.

"Eh, what can I do?" Lan Xian'er said, "The military order has been issued, how can the order be changed overnight?" Prepare for your journey, go now, I'll leave it to you! ”
