The departure time is set for tomorrow, and Bauhinia's army still needs to stay outside the city, waiting for tomorrow's army to set off before it will be drawn together with the army of Dawning Castle. The military camp in Dawning City is limited, and in order to avoid unnecessary friction between the soldiers of the two armies, Bauhinia is left outside the city. Oulu himself had no problem with this, and the camp was gradually quieting down at the moment, after all, it was already late at night. The warriors entered the tent early to rest so that they would have enough body to march tomorrow.

According to the plan of the two Sirs, Oulu and Ryfus, they planned to rush to Sunset City in two days, and then besiege the enemy with absolute strength, slowly depleting their resources and morale. This is the shadow that the two of them fell under Storm City before, and they don't want to clash with Allen head-on. Therefore, the next two days will be a big test for the soldiers of the army. If you don't have enough physical fitness, or if you don't have enough perseverance, you may fall behind.

On this calm and peaceful night, someone suddenly shouted: "It's on fire!" Come on, people, the stables are on fire! ”

There were two hundred horses in the stables, of which fifty were of the highest order. This time, in order to be able to quickly transport the elite to Sunset City, Oulu deliberately took out these dozens of high-quality war horses that had been carefully bred so that they could be used as mounts for those hoplites. If you are burned to death or frightened and lost, it will be a great loss. Hearing the shouts, the soldiers near the stables did not even have time to put on their clothes, and everyone hurried out of the tent and ran towards the burning stables.

There were a few fires in the stables for no apparent reason, and many horses were already frightened and neighed uneasily. The soldiers hurriedly fetched water to extinguish the fire, and for a while, the camp near the stables was in chaos.

"What the hell?"

On the other side of the camp, soldiers stood on a tin bucket and tiptoed in the direction of the stables. A puff of black smoke had risen there, and it looked like the fire was not small.

"Come down, Pierce." An older warrior next to him shouted.

There were a total of ten soldiers on night duty in the nearby camp, and they were guarding the water source of the army. Hundreds of buckets of clean water here will quench the thirst of the soldiers, and tomorrow they will be transported to the battlefield by the logistics troops with the army.

The veteran was a squad leader, and the young soldier did not dare to disobey the captain's orders and slipped off the bucket. Just as he wanted to say something, his face suddenly changed, and then he screamed: "Watch your back, captain!" ”

"What?" The captain was stunned, and suddenly a blade appeared in his chest. On the blade, there is still blood flowing from the heart.

Pierce opened his mouth to shout, one hand silently holding his mouth. A blackened dagger swiped across his neck, ending the young soldier's life. All the soldiers guarding the position had been quietly killed, and it was the warriors of the Darkblades who killed them, several of whom looked at each other, and quickly dragged the bodies to the nearby woodland to bury them, while the other two changed into soldiers' clothes and returned to the camp.

They pulled out a syringe-like tool, plunged its sharp tip into the tin bucket, and pressed the contents into the bucket with a single thumb. It was poison from Roger, extracted from some highly poisonous creature. It is highly toxic and can quickly cause nerve paralysis and eventually paralysis. After drinking poisoned water, ordinary people will stop breathing within a minute.

After Darkblade threw poison into the buckets, it wasn't long before a team of soldiers came to hand them over. Seeing the disguised Darkblade Warrior, the squad leader asked, "What about Laurin?" ”

The Darkblade Warrior bowed his head and didn't answer, just looked into the forest behind the camp. The captain scolded, "This guy is lazy to smoke again?" ”

"I'll tell General Sù tomorrow, okay, I'll leave it to us here."

The captain did not see the faces of the two soldiers clearly. With a careless wave of his hand, he let the Darkblade Warrior leave, but he didn't know that the previous team of guards had all buried their bodies in the forest behind them.

The fire in the stables was finally extinguished, but at least half of the dozens of fine horses died. They were not burned to death by fire, but their throats were cut open with sharp objects. Apparently someone killed them before they set them on fire. Oulu was furious about this, and he thoroughly investigated the whole army, vowing to find out who was responsible. Naturally, this did not lead to any results, but in vain the soldiers did not close their eyes all night.

After a night of tossing and turning to no avail, Oulu had no choice but to give up. The next day, he set out with Lefuss's army. This coalition of nearly 2,000 men marched out of the territory and headed straight for Sunset City. The speed of the march was not delayed much because of the accident that happened last night. Except for the hoplites of Oru, who lost their horses and fell behind the main team, they were not left behind.

At noon, when the army stopped to rest and the soldiers lined up to receive dry rations and drinking water, something finally happened.

Some of the soldiers who had received the food had just eaten something and drank a few sips of water. It didn't take long for the lower abdomen to cramp, like thousands of knives cutting the internal organs together, and everyone foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground. Then he began to lose consciousness and eventually stopped breathing. The stronger of them only lasted less than two minutes before they suffocated to death.

Oulu and Lefs were looking at the map in a wooded area when they heard a report from the soldiers, and they hurried away. I saw that more than 100 of the poisoned soldiers in the camp had died, and the others did not dare to eat anymore when they found out that they were wrong. The two knights looked at the soldier who had died for no reason, and their faces changed with pain. Les Raffes roared, "Why don't you check the food and water yet?" ”

Soon, the results of the inspection came out. One of Oulu's commanders fed two old horses with dry food and water, the one who ate the dry food had nothing to do, and the one who drank the water was quickly poisoned and died. And it can be seen that the drinking water has been poisoned. This, combined with the fire in the stables last night, does not take much imagination to connect the two events.

Oulu and Leifers don't want to admit it, but the facts are in front of them. It was clear that Alan's hand had reached into their barracks, and they didn't realize it in advance!

"Split up some of the army and go to the neighborhood to find new sources of water. Give me more attention this time, if you want to go on another trip, you can do it yourself! ”

At the roar of Oulu, the Bauhinia commander ran back in disgrace and assigned an infantry team to find a new source of water. As for the soldiers of the army, for the time being, they can only eat dry food, but they cannot touch a drop of water. In this way, the soldiers naturally have to complain for a long time. You must know that one can skip a meal, but one cannot go without drinking water.

The movement of this coalition force was watched by several pairs of eyes, and without the awareness of the army, a figure quickly left.

In the evening, he arrived in an unnamed forest fifty kilometers away. As soon as he entered the forest, two shield-wielding mountain king warriors suddenly appeared from the grass, and the man lowered his voice and said "It's me", and the warrior let him go. He went straight to Belmode, and then to a clearing deep in the woods. There were tents pitched in the clearing, and Alan heard the news and came out of one of them.

The Darkblade Warrior immediately reported the enemy's movements, and Eren listened to it and told him to go down and rest. Belmode and a few others gathered around, everyone waiting for Allen's order. Alan took out a map, dropped his finger on a few of them, and then smiled: "Inform the whole army to withdraw the camp, we have to travel overnight." ”

"What are your plans?" Regis couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, we will not have good results if we work hard. However, it is still feasible to harass the guerrillas, and if they are not demoralized before they set off, then drag it until their morale is low. It will be easier to deal with them when the time comes. Alan put away the map and said lightly: "It's time to hide and seek." ”

Oulu sneezed.

It was late at night, and after the noon poisoning was over, the rested army continued to advance, stopping and encamping at nightfall. The morale of the soldiers suffered a number of blows, especially since there was no suitable water source nearby, the soldiers had no water to drink, and the population was dry. Oulu had to order someone to collect dew during the vigil, but that was only a drop in the bucket.

When Shang Mo arrived in Sunset City, he was so angry that Olu had no intention of sleeping. He longed to arrive in Sunset City early tomorrow morning, so that he could kill Eren without leaving a piece of armor before he could let out this evil breath.

Turning over in the tent, the rough floor under the blanket made Oulu miss the big bed in his bedroom. He cursed in a low voice and closed his eyes to go back to sleep. Suddenly, there was an explosion outside the tent, and it came without warning. The loud roar shook Olu's ears, and he didn't even have time to put on his armor, grabbing only a giant sword that was placed next to him and rushing out.

"What's going on?" He grabbed a soldier outside the tent and shouted.

The soldier replied in a panic: "Report to your lordship, our grain truck has been blown up." ”

"What!" Olu said angrily: "It's that damn Allen again, we didn't let you take care of the supplies, why did you destroy them again." ”

The soldier cried and said, "This, the specific situation, the subordinates don't know!" ”

"Rubbish!"

Oulu called in the commander again, and the commander's report was a little more detailed. The attack was carried out from a distance, and the soldiers in charge of guarding the grain cart at that time saw a fireball burst through the air from the night in the distance, hitting the grain cart and causing an explosion. After the explosion, the fire spread rapidly, and soon several grain trucks were set on fire. Fortunately, the soldiers saw the opportunity quickly and finally rescued some of the food.

At this time, another soldier came running and reported: "Two adults, we have found the enemy!" ”

"Where?" Oulu yelled.

"Just outside the camp, just a hundred meters ahead!"

"What?" Oulu was stunned, and the enemy was in front of the camp. Such a swaggering move is undoubtedly the biggest provocation to them. Oro's face sank: "Go and inform Sir Lyforth, and also, bring in my hoplites." If they send it to the door themselves, then I'll let them go and never return! ”R1058
