Chapter 389 The only way for the hungry soldiers to survive is to attack the city
Senior Doomsday seriously instructed that the Rock III puppet must be put into production as soon as possible, and said that the personnel would help coordinate. One of the key reasons was that the environment provided by Blaney was second to none. Compared with the relatively cramped space of the magic tower, it was much more comfortable.
You know, alchemists usually have very high requirements for the working environment. In this regard, the conditions provided by Blainey are undoubtedly very attractive.
Furthermore, the technical content of the Rock Type III Puppet was enough to arouse their strong interest. After all, this high-end and challenging technical project had an irresistible charm for alchemists who were pursuing technical improvement, so recruiting people was naturally not a problem.
After chatting about the war situation, Miss Blainey bowed respectfully and left.
At this moment, they really need to take a short break to prepare for the night march. After careful consideration, Senior Doomsday plans to have the troops march around nine o'clock in the evening and prepare to attack the enemy's territory in the early morning of tomorrow.
The magicians did not touch the property and population here. They had no interest in such items and just waited quietly for someone to take over.
At this moment, the security of Ankola City is more and more guaranteed. For the kingdom, this is undoubtedly another crucial strategic stronghold.
This city can not only raise supplies needed for the war and provide solid logistical support for subsequent battles, but also attract the armed forces of the church and effectively disperse the enemy's forces, thus buying precious time for the capital to consolidate its territory.
Three days later~~
In the early morning, the sun had just risen, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the earth, but it could not dispel the haze in people's hearts. A worrying situation quietly emerged - members of the church armed forces began to fall one after another! For a time, panic and anxiety spread.
Hundreds of priests hurriedly shuttled among the crowd, their hands frantically and sweating, trying to save the fallen lives.
After a careful examination, it was found that these people had no obvious symptoms, and the real reason for their collapse was hunger! Faced with such a difficult problem, the priests felt helpless and finally had to use magic to temporarily relieve the painful symptoms caused by hunger.
At this time, the ration situation in the team could only be described as horrible. Every meal was just a bowl of thin soup, with almost no substantial food in it.
In order to barely survive, the strong and healthy people had to control their food intake as much as possible and leave more of the meager food for their weaker companions.
As for the wargs that were originally used for military purposes, their fate became very difficult at this moment. Since the military wargs could not be slaughtered at will, so as not to affect the subsequent combat power; but the wargs that carried luggage and supplies had been slaughtered to a few, so the burden of transporting goods fell entirely on the military wargs.
Such a situation is undoubtedly a huge disaster for the entire army. Whether it is soldiers or generals, everyone's heart is heavy, full of worries and uneasiness. Because from past war experience, difficulties in logistics support often become a key factor in the development of the war. Once the food supply is completely cut off, the outcome of this war will be unpredictable...
In this difficult period, how to solve the problem of food shortage became an urgent problem facing them.
Kashin and Jean Tocque sat leisurely on the ground, with rations placed in front of them, and they ate while discussing the situation the enemy troops were facing. Kashin wolfed down one portion and then picked up another one to chew. His strong body seemed to need more food to fill his stomach.
The morning sun shines on the earth, and the air is filled with a fresh smell, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. After a night of meditation, Kashin is in a particularly good mood.
"Captain Kashin, today is another wonderful day! We just need to follow them from a distance. Look at how miserable they are. It's getting worse and worse!" Jean Tocque said with a smile.
Kashin nodded slightly, his mouth full of food, and responded vaguely: "Yes, that's right. I am very familiar with the road they took. At this speed, it will take about a day to reach the city of Ankola. We have to work harder and can't be careless and let them run away." As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh that time flies.
Jean Tocque said thoughtfully: "They have gone through so much trouble to get to Ankola, but what awaits them is probably only a catastrophe. Moreover, they have no food now, and they can only attack the city by force. But maybe they won't be so stupid?"
Kashin sneered, put down the food in his hand, wiped his mouth and said: "Humph, for those who are starving, don't expect them to remain rational. They have no other choice but to attack. Besides, this territory near the mountains has a new owner now, and the church armed forces sent by Ankola City have long been scattered around. They really can't escape even if they have wings!"
Jean Tocque raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and said softly: "Hey, today we can finally get a little closer. As long as those guys dare to attack the city, that will be the best time for us to take action." His deep eyes flashed with excitement, as if he had already seen the scene of victory in sight.
"Yes, let's do that! It won't be long before those hateful enemies can learn what it means to have a divine force descend from the sky! For more than half a month, we have been tracking them all the way, crossing about a thousand miles of rugged mountain roads! The hardships and difficulties involved are simply beyond imagination. But with tenacious perseverance, extraordinary patience, and excellent supply and transportation capabilities, we have overcome numerous obstacles and successfully completed this difficult marching experience..." The person who spoke was Captain Kashin. He had a serious face, but his tone revealed full of pride.
Another soldier couldn't help but interrupt: "You're absolutely right! It's all because of those damn guys that we've suffered so much. But it doesn't matter, now it's time to settle the score! Let's see how we teach them a lesson!" Everyone nodded in agreement. For a moment, morale was high and the flame of revenge burned in everyone's heart.
"Yes, when we have achieved success, remember to exchange your badges for gold coins or other items! The opportunity to make a fortune is right before our eyes, so cheer up." The scouts became more and more excited as they talked...
Kashin took out a water bag and drank the iced coffee. To be honest, he felt much more comfortable than the other scouts. There was a copper box in the space bag with ice cubes for chilling drinks.
Therefore, no matter how hot the weather is, Kashen is very comfortable thanks to the temperature control array of the alchemical leather armor, so it is difficult for him to experience the hardships of an actual summer march, and he may also miss out on the training of a tough character.

Note: As long as the enemy's main force does not flee, Kashin and his men will not take action. They will wait for the exhausted army to attack the city. The church's armed forces will be tantamount to committing suicide, so just follow them.
They changed their tactics and started hunting down the remaining troops.
