Chapter 392 (2/2)
”No, that's not true; the reserves of duanjie mountain can supply 20000 troops for one year.” the middle-aged jockey shook his head: ”but the problem is that there are only three flag regiments, less than 1000 people, stationed in a fortress that needs at least 5000 troops to operate normally.”
”Now your highness is on an expedition, and the supply line in the South can't go north because of the snowstorm; in this situation, if there is a demon invasion, we must at least make sufficient fortifications and preparations!”
With a slight nod, the little wizard finally understood.
With a low sigh, Ernst turned around with a very tangled expression - if possible, he was also unwilling to use the ”help” of the Alchemist: ”I talked with the alchemists stationed in the fortress. They said that without your help, they could not complete enough quota of kindling and medicine within the scheduled time limit.”
”This is not a legally valid warrant, but my private request. Although we don't get along well, please don't forget the fact that you are a member of the Empire and do your part for the northern gate of the Empire!”
Even with a low voice and sincere request, Ernst dreisis's words were indisputable, and his eager eyes were somewhat hasty.
If Isaac suffered such ”inhuman treatment”, he mostly left, but the little wizard was not him; Without hesitation for a second, he immediately nodded and agreed:
”Please don't worry, as long as I can do something, I will do my best!”
”No, even if you can't do something, you must do it!” the middle-aged Knight's expression was dignified to the extreme, and a trace of imperceptible fear flashed in his eyes:
”You are an imperial man who grew up in a peaceful age. You have never personally experienced the terrible invasion of Demons - without the consciousness of sacrifice and the determination to bet everything, you can never defeat those enemies stronger than us!!!!!”
Ayn was startled by the sudden change of the other party's face and instinctively stepped back.
Seeing the little wizard's expression, he realized that Ernst's face changed slightly, and finally controlled his sudden anger:
”Sorry... I... Suddenly...”
”Nothing, I can understand.” Ayn, who was still afraid, smiled reluctantly: ”you must have experienced many... Terrible things, and so do I.”
”When I was in Shenlin castle, I worked with Loren to help the elves resist the invasion of Ogres - maybe not compared with duanjie mountain, but the scene... Was really as terrible!”
”That's hell, living hell...” Ernst slowed down his tone: ”and all we can do is let as many people live in hell as possible.
Please, Lord Ayn Rand. ”
”Yes.”
At the moment of turning around, the little wizard who suddenly remembered something stopped and looked curiously at Ernst's right hand: ”no offense, but what you have in your hand... Is the letter paper sent by his highness connord?”
Some surprised middle-aged Knights glanced, and the inkpad on the letterhead did have the iron crown mark of the desallion family.
”It's just a document for the rear supply line. You're wrong.”
Ernst, who didn't look back, replied stiffly. Instinctive intuition made the little wizard still uneasy, but he said goodbye to him politely and left the wall.
It was not until the petite figure disappeared in the city wall that the silent middle-aged Knight slowly opened the letter. It was obvious that the letter written in a hurry came into his eyes:
”To the faithful Ernst dreisis:
The army has arrived at the blood skeleton Valley and found the traces of Brandon's encampment and two battles. It is obvious that they had an encounter here;
But in addition, our Rangers never found more traces and clues of Brandon, everything was buried by the snowstorm, and a large-scale avalanche occurred on the east side of blood skeleton valley;
Everything confirms my guess that Brandon may have died... Although it's not what I want.
A snowstorm is coming. Get ready, Ernst;
Read and destroy,
Connord de sallion. ”
