Chapter 867 Who dares to touch you (2/2)

Pearl said, ”We should think about what we should do. Fire Carp Army's main force is about forty thousand people and they are still at our backlines. They might disturb us and attack our grain. Even if we can keep Fire Elephant City and make them die of hunger, our hundreds of thousands of troops will still have no food to eat.”

Louis cupped his fists and said, ”Then we can only siege and take it down quickly!”

I frowned, ”Fire Elephant City is very tough and it is impossible to end it quick. Moreover, their reinforcements are mostly in there and they might not be lesser than us at all.”

Pearl said, ”Then what ideas do you have?”

I held my sword and said flatly, ”We can't discuss the grain plan, but what we should do is surround it and cut off their grain support. Then we will send a strong force to transport grain and then one more to strike Flaming Cloud City and force their main force out to support. Halfway there, we will send our main force to kill them and kill them one by one, maybe then we will succeed.”

Louis couldn't help but laugh coldly, cupping his fists, “General Li Xiao Yao, you really are vicious!”

I directly looked towards him and said coldly, ”I am cold towards the army while you let the armies attack Fire Elephant City to let them die for nothing, aren't you even more vicious?”

”You!”

Louis gritted his teeth, the Luote behind him looked towards me with animosity and said, ”Li Xiao Yao as expected from the pillar of the country look at how arrogant you are now. How are you like that small kid that just entered the Royal Army!”

I sighed, ”In front of you people I have never bowed down. If you are not happy then come hit me?”

Louis couldn’t believe it, ”You...”

Looking at the furious general and major, Pearl couldn't help but laugh, ”Okay, then we will follow Li Xiao Yao's plan! The Purple Spirit Army in charge of logistics will personally lead their fifty thousand main force back to the city to transport enough grain over. The other troops will breach the hole and destroy their defenses and surround Fire Elephant City. Apart from that, save some Flame Dragon Cannons and Dragon Crystal Cannons ammunition. We still need them to complete the final battle.”

”Yes!” The bunch of generals bowed in unison.

...

I didn't say much, only hoping that Xiahou Ren who was the Purple Spirit General could be smarter and ensure that grain reaches the front line if not the Tian Ling City would go hungry and die. However, I can't have too high hopes after all their advisor is Clear Black Eyes and with her intellect, normal NPCs might not be able to handle it.

A bunch of generals split up and Pearl left me alone.

Only the two of us were left in the tent when she licked her lips and said, ”You know why I left you?”

What I asked wasn't replied, I smiled, ”I want to know how long our grain can last?”

Pearl said, ”Normal soldiers roughly eat one and a half kilograms a day and we only brought 2.5 million kilograms so we can only last for three to four days.”

I said, ”This is why you are anxious?”

”Yes!”

Pearl sighed and said, ”If Xiahou Ren is unable to transport the grain to the front lines, then we will only have to return back to the city.”

I looked towards Fire Elephant City where smoke was rising up. I couldn't help but laugh, ”Actually, it might not be a bad thing if we can't bring the troops back to the city, we have stayed here for too long.”

Pearl's lips twitched, ”You are saying... Waterfront City and Moon City are moving?”

I nodded, ”If I were them I wouldn't watch Tian Ling Empire swallow Flaming Cloud Empire and do nothing.”

”That's through...”

Pearl said leisurely, ”So what? Brother gave us a decree to raise Purple Flame Saint Ruler's head to see him. If not then I can only kill myself...”

I couldn't help but laugh, ”Don't joke around, with me here, who will dare to touch you?”

Pearl was touched and laughed, “Yeah...”
