The 300 Heroes of the Manga

Chapter 67

“It’s no longer possible to have one more person now. Let alone soldiers, even cats and dogs can’t be accepted. If you want to accept it, please set a hundred guns, fifty horses and fifty days’ worth of food. These conditions.”

Geral Ogiye, who was in charge of allocating food and adjusting weapons, reported with hatred in his eyes.

Cao Shurui also felt a headache. [That fellow Tiger, it’s so easy to shake the pot. 】

“Is it that severe?”

“Reports of rough expressions of dissatisfaction have increased by 50%. Soldiers and people who are sensitive to the reduction of what they eat. Even if it’s wild vegetable soup—”

Geral’s eyes grew more sinister, and his voice grew sharper.

“Even if you use salted soup made from carrots, soybeans, and potatoes, the soybeans are gone. This alone will make two of the soldiers feel uneasy. As for the salty taste, it’s because there is a personal difference, so I am confused for a few days. Problem, but it can only last four or five days.”

Geral bent over and stretched forward, squeezing the bundle of books and documents in his hand and continued.

“The whispering between the soldiers has increased. What happened to the food? Was it taken away by the enemy? I was dragged down by the incompetent companion; what will happen to the meal tomorrow…I’m talking about this. And the enemy that is approaching becomes stronger. , The more the consciousness tends to escape.”

After being said so much in one breath, Cao Shurui felt that his headache was getting worse. In fact, since the Tenardier Army was approaching, it was impossible to accommodate soldiers. Because it may be disguised by Tenardiya soldiers. However, Tagler’s temper is there. Cao Shurui told him many times that he finally got the sentence “Do your best.”

In the barracks used by the commander-in-chief of the four flags, the Red Horse Flag of the Kingdom of Brunai, the Black Dragon Flag of Gistato, and the flags of the Volun’s House and Lettmelitz, Cao Shurui and others convened an army meeting.

“The Duke of Tenardier claims to be leading an army of forty thousand. But that is a bluff.”

It is not uncommon to exaggerate the number of one’s own soldiers and call out more than the actual number. One million troops in the Three Kingdoms period was actually only about 800,000.

If you believe it, you will accumulate the fear of poor strength with the enemy. When actually facing him, he wondered if he had hidden the soldiers somewhere. Of course, in order to deceive the enemy’s scouts by increasing the flag or deliberately letting him see most of his army, these methods can be used.

“Although it is a bluff, combining the scouts and rumors, it does have a military strength of more than 20,000.”

Mashas touched his gray beard and put on his most serious expression so far. His hands were so hard that he almost pulled off his beard.

The total strength of the Silver Meteor Army is 20,000.

Moreover, there is still no retreat here as always. However, the Duke of Tenardia could retreat to Nimetakum for supplies and reorganization of the army.

“This is the end of the matter. Fortunately, I didn’t expect anything. It’s better to say that we can reduce the difference in strength to this point.” Cao Shurui scratched his head and sighed.

“By the way, Duke Tenardier’s army has hardly changed since the battle with Duke Ganlong.”

Lim tilted her head slightly blankly. Mashaas answered this question.

“There are five dragons in the Duke Tenardier’s army. It seems that just letting them go is the end of the battle.”

Long. The only people who tremble with this word are Tagler, Mashas, ​​and Laiqi. Allen and Mira looked calm. Lim tensed her face, but didn’t show any movement.

And Cao Shurui showed an excited smile. This untimely expression caused everyone except the two war girls to shrink their necks unconsciously.

“Leave those dragons to me. Only they can make me go all out. Moreover, the soldiers can’t deal with the dragons.”

Cao Shurui licked his lips and said. Tygler clenched his knees and nodded bitterly.

“Stain. Forget it. I’ll leave it to you this time. But, once there is a danger, we won’t let it go.” Allen said.

“Ha, it’s just a bigger lizard. Don’t worry, look okay.”

“Sorry, please”

“Don’t care. It’s suitable. Also, let’s talk about it first. You are the commander-in-chief, so you can’t be dispatched.” Milla took the words and answered Tygler for Cao Shurui.

Tagler nodded with a wry smile.

“Duke Gonron, he is no longer here (the news is that he is dead). This will be the final battle for both Duke Tenardier and us.”

Laiqi looked at the map nervously. Her gaze was fixed on Alutsimna. Everyone present knew about the tragedy that happened in that city.

The news from the merchants and travelers who passed by has restored the scene on the night of the incident.

It was a terrible tragedy that would make people sick.

If there are any signs, there are only two. There was a carriage going back and forth between the house of the Duke of Ganglong and the north gate several times. Gunlong’s soldiers have set up fuel storage centers in dozens of places in Alutsim.

The two things were executed for four or five days. Among those with keen intuition, there are those who have packed up all their belongings and brought their families out of the city in the past few days. However, that is only a very small part of the urban population. Most residents are still living the same life as yesterday.

Of course they also feel uneasy. They knew that Gang Long was a cruel and ruthless lord, and no one could guess what he would do when he got up. In addition, the fact that the Ganglong Army was defeated by the Tenardiya Army in the far south, although only a rumor, has already spread to people’s ears.

However, even if you feel uneasy, you cannot simply leave this city where you have lived for many years.

More importantly, if there is a person who can see that the owner of this city wants to burn up the city and his own residence, that person is no ordinary human being.

The fire first started in the middle of the night in Gang Takao’s residence. It was a three-story building, a luxurious house built in a position that almost overlooked the entire block. The flames quickly surrounded, and the fire burned in the dark background.

Then, using this as a signal, the fuel storage centers set up in various parts of the city burned up. The storage place where piles of firewood and grease-filled wooden barrels were placed turned into a mass of red lotus flame, stirred by the night wind blowing from the north. The fire powder was scattered. The fire spread instantly.

Arutsim is a city with a long history. Before the establishment of the Kingdom of Brunai, it existed as a small town.

After Brunei’s layout was planned and developed, residential areas and shops have continued to rise outside the original town, but the landscape near the center remains unchanged.

In other words, the only parts made of stone are walls, ceilings, and roof beams. The floors, doors, and windows are all made of wood. Moreover, the spaces between the houses of the former residents were very small. The fire moved to another house in a flash.

Because it was late at night, most of the people escaped late. Even if they walked out of the house, they were blocked by fire everywhere, and there were not many people who were lucky enough to walk to the gate of the city.

There are rivers flowing in the center and north east of Alu Tesim. There were many people who jumped into the river to avoid the flames, but almost none were saved.

Even if winter is almost over, the water in the river is still cold in the middle of the night. Moreover, the flames stirred by the wind created a wall of fire that grew up along the river to oppress people. There are countless people drowning, suffocating to death by smoking too much black smoke.

The cold wind blowing from the north greatly increased the fire. The block in the south-east part of Alu Tesme was nearly completely burnt down.

The fire that covered the entire city continued to burn. It wasn’t until the next night that the fire finally disappeared.

The people who were expelled by the fire had to log countless corpses in a city that was no different from the ruins.

At the same time, the news of Gang Long’s death spread throughout the northern part of Brunai’s kingdom. Needless to say, the cities of Lutetia, the nobles who had been with Shungang Long but did not participate in the war were also hit hard. They are all shaken and embarrassed.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the Gunlong Army who lost to the Tenardier Army a few days ago fled completely.

Those who were not taken by the Tenardier Army and the Silver Meteor Army had no monarchs they could rely on, and they could only wander on Brunel’s land.

“Try it and propose a truce to the Duke of Tenardier.”

Looking around his companions, Tagler made this proposal. It was Allen who reacted first. Her red eyes flashed sharp eyes.

“Is that, to rescue Alutsim?”

Tygler nodded, he said slowly.

“I heard that when the Muogner’s army attacked from the sea, the Duke of Tenardiya sent his troops to fight against them in order to protect the cities near the sea.”

If Tenardier eyes the hegemony of Brunai’s kingdom, Arutusmu will sooner or later become the city in his pocket. If it can be rebuilt soon, he should also agree.
