Before, Kohler had sent a messenger to the town of Scepter;

None of the messengers came back after reaching the target, which led to no one knowing the situation here.

"What is the defensive layout of Princess Mapoloshi's side?" Kohler asked hurriedly;

Of course, only the princess is within the reach of understanding, and both Kohler and Dabro think so.

"There are two thousand archers!" replied the scout, "they lined up in a long line across the long gorge!"

It is long and horizontal, not concentrated near the main road. Kohler frowned slightly, and this is indeed the method Princess Mapoloshi would take-

Violating the rules.

However, no matter how contrary to the rules, no one dares to take the risk;

The appearance of Mapoloshi in Scepter Town means that the two of them have all the more than 10,000 soldiers on their hands and cannot go back;

Even if the two thousand archers were poking upside down there together.

"Asking the team not to rush forward; stop about five miles away from Changgou." Kohler ordered, "After observing the situation, decide what to do next..."

Ninety percent of them are to retreat directly. Dabro thought.

Now, I can only hope that Mapoloshi can uphold a little kindness and leave a way out for these people.

...

The ten thousand army marched forward and stopped at about five miles away;

Here we can see the situation opposite: as the scout said, two thousand archers were sparsely arranged on the other side of the long groove;

If we consider it according to common sense, the archer team of this size would not cause decent damage to heavy armored soldiers at all, so we should just rush over directly;

But there was still a person floating in the sky.

The figure could guess who it was without having to be carefully distinguished - no, she was the only one who could appear in this way in the entire kingdom.

"Improve the entire army and be prepared for maneuvering." Kohler whispered to the messenger beside him;

Dabro knew very well that this was just a euphemism of "ready to escape".

"Tell the Central Army."

A familiar clear sound came from the distant sky - although pleasant, it made people unable to be happy at all;

"You are in the territory of the Eastern Territory, and the Town of Scepters has been occupied by the Eastern Territory."

Even Kohler could guess the purpose of this sentence - it was to lay the foundation for the open use of magic.

"Now, I hope you can retreat to the east as soon as possible and not try to leave."

Her words made Kohler stunned, and then he quickly felt relieved: Isn’t it just that people don’t attack, and pass through the Scepter Town...

"According to information, there are fierce monsters that endanger the survival of the people in the nearby forests;"

The same method as last time... Kohler sighed, but what can this be done? He has no power to resist this reason at all!

You can't help them kill the monster, right?

"So we divided a zone and prepared to use magic to bombard the monsters in a concentrated manner."

Moreover, even if you want to blame others, Zhongjie is in a position of fault. After all, Duke Myrones did the first thing to do with his name and using magic to fight the enemy...

"I hope you can evacuate as soon as possible, and do not cause innocent casualties; and do not try to move forward, as you will miss the opportunity to evacuate."

Kohler looked at Dabro; the latter nodded helplessly.

Huh, since Dabro has no objection, then...?

"Report to Master, there are unknown monsters in the nearby forest!" The messenger who rushed over stopped beside Kohler, "They are taller than humans, and the specific number is unknown!"

It seems that she has made a lot of preparations to act in the whole set. Kohler thought about the sky and looked at it, so there is no need to continue to fight to the death...

"Tell me the order, let's go back ten miles for now." Kohler waved his hand, turned his horse's head and advanced eastward;

At this moment, he had long lost the idea of ​​a strong attack; what he had to consider now was how to stabilize the more than 10,000 people at hand;

Now, the army has lost its food supply, and if it continues to fight, it will definitely face disintegration;

Negotiations with Roche are inevitable, if it is really extreme...

"Sir Kohler, we must make a decision as soon as possible." After confirming that the road to return had been blocked, Dabro's expression became a little serious: "The soldiers will soon realize the seriousness of the situation."

When necessary... can you only surrender to Princess Mapoloshi?

There seems to be no second way. Soldiers will slaughter war horses and even run away before starving to death;

There are even some dangerous guys who will incite mutiny... Judging from the current situation, I don’t have many decent routes to choose from.

That's why I felt that I shouldn't be so outstanding before. Dabro sighed as he looked at Kohler's increasingly pale face.

“No matter what, we still need to do what we should do.” Dabrow reminded, “we should notify other teams of this news.”

That's the survival of tens of thousands of people.

"It's true, so send someone to inform them." Kohler nodded;

He was about to greet people, but the scouts who were originally arranged behind the team rushed over.

"Sir! To the east... there are a few people from the East holding white flags, who seem to be negotiating with us!" The scout stopped beside Kohler.

"Negotiation?" Kohler frowned slightly, and soon figured out what they might be here for.

Princess Mapoloshi is really considerate; she was just about to go to bed when the pillow was delivered.

...

In the simple tent.

"Hello, sir, I came to negotiate with you on behalf of Bilin City." Among the few people who negotiated, the leader was very handsome and looked quite kind-hearted;

"Tell me about your conditions." Kohler felt that Mapoloshi would not make things difficult for him;

But in contrast, this battle is definitely not possible.

"Hehe, that's right. You are in a dilemma of shortage of food, right?" The leader pointed out the key points incisively;

"...It's true." Although Kohler was unhappy, he could only nod and admit.

"That's right. If you lack food, our Bilin City can provide some support..."

Kohler wondered if he had heard something wrong.

"But you have to pay a certain amount of reward for that."

"Reward? What do you want?" Is this doing business? Kohler thought.

"Bilin City needs your weapons and equipment...armor, sword, these can all be calculated as food of the same weight."

He used the weapons he had made at a high price to exchange for these things! Kohler almost cursed at that time;

But he controlled himself - Dabro had already made a statement to him before that there was no choice here.

Either starve to death or agree to the other party's conditions.

Thinking of this, Kohler could only sigh—and then nodded;

If it weren't for the good reputation of the East Realm, Kohler would never dare to agree - after all, without weapons and equipment, no matter how many soldiers there are, they can only be slaughtered.

"Then thank you for your cooperation~ Although the food tastes bad, it's still okay to maintain your life..."
